Dodging a fist that left a massive crater in the ground Kushina threw herself backwards and disappeared from Fu's sight. The next thing Fu knew she was flying threw the air into Kimmi who was trying to sneak up on the red-head during the spar. After they rightened them selves they were annoyed to see Kushina sitting on a tree as if nothing was happening.
They both looked at each other thinking " Why does she have to be so quick."
Kushina, as if reading there minds, answered that " Well it is not that I am quick it is that you are both slow. Speed is extremely important for you two. Fu, you need to stay out of the trap Tsunade went into, both of them. She has no jutsu outside of medical and she is not all that fast. If you rely on only your strength then you will never get to where you should be.
Kimmi, speed is a huge part of every thing you do. Without it you are far less dangerous."
They both looked at Her, she may be ruff but they could not deny that she was an incredible teacher. In the four months that Kushina was teaching Fu had gotten to about Low-S rank from her old low-b rank. Shadow clones really helped. Kimmi had gotten massively stronger. He was able to actually spar against Naruto for the most point. If the boy did not unleash his seals that is.
Seeing the understanding on their faces Kushina gave a smirk " Now lets begin" Her opponents shivered at her look and got ready for their ass kicking.
A bit away in a Tree Naruto was looking at his minions work. It was amazing how much each of them had progressed. In a year they will be able to rival the Akatsuki. After another they will far surpass them. In all ways. Fu especially, That girl was making strives unlike anything he had seen. It just went to show that you should never shun someone, they may become powerful enough to fuck your life up.
Turning around he began to watch Yakumo fight his clones on a island hidden behind a powerful genjutsu. The girl was a freaking prodigy if their ever was one. She was fighting his clone on even Terms. That means the girl was already fighting on High A rank level, in just one year, She was awesome.
Naruto had to flinch as he saw his clone shatter by the force of the girls blows, Damn she already got that far with replicating Tsuande's super strength. It was a project of hers as her Natural chakra control was already almost as good as his own. It was needed for her to control her genjutsus. Speaking of which Naruto was still stunned at her immense skills at those. It turns out that she did not have a blood-line per say, It was more like the Wood-style of the First Hokage. A once in family type ability. It was supported by the Chakra type of the Family, that was as far as the Family caused it.
Naruyto then turned to Tayuya who was bathing in his medical spring. He had sparred with her earlier and had actually broken all of her ribs and done a great deal of damage to her organs. He had to heal her quite quickly then put her in the spring to save her life. It was the price for being as strong as he was. She learned though, and continued to improve. Her genjutsu skills were improving every day and she had even made her own style of Sound jutsus, she had even nearly beaten him several time using it. It was truly amazing. She did not even need her Flute anymore. He could not wait for her future developments
Even his mother, who had already mastered her Eyes and Was nearly ready for the Mangekyo, was getting stronger. Once they activated and she mastered those abilities he would implant Mikoto's eyes, after all it was by adding her blood that His mother achieved the Sharingan. She Loved them quiet a bit as it made her life so much easier at time. But she was not lazy and used those eyes to help her students who only benefited from it.
Overall he was very pleased with their developments
Kit was Rolling his eyes, He was in a meeting with Orochimaru. The man was the definition of Inferiority complexes. He was Terribly threatened by Kit( Who he thought was a separate person from Naruto) . It made him fear the boy all the more. But at the same time The creepy old man carried a deep respect that the boy achived so much power at such an age. He had even entertained thoughts on taking his body, though that thought went running away screaming for cover when he felt the boy's killing intent. It was so raw and powerful the man nearly passed out from its feel. That was enough to deter him.
Kit was shook out of his reverie when Orochimaru asked him a question " So Child, I take it that You have kept your part of the deal and have ascertained the locations of the Civilian council? They Are to Be killed during the invasion by your hand, the Daimyo to if you can. Both of them"
Kit Nodded his head " Yes. They will die. I will take great pleasure in the act."
" Very good. If all goes to plan then I can get my little prodigy Sasuke with little resistance."
Kit snorted at this which caused some of the others in the room to look at him in anger. " And that is why you never achieved Hokage.
One councilor was pissed at this remark and was about to speak up when Orochimaru Laughed and then asked " Why is that exactly?"
Kit looked at him and sighed " You cant look past how things are at the moment. You take things at face value far too much. Especially with your teaching."
Orochimaru rose an eyebrow " For Example?"
" Well asides from my nephew who would you say has the most potential of his team? This includes Kakashi, if the idiot ever gave some effort."
Orochimaru replied without thought " Sasuke. He has the Sharingan thus the most potential."
"Wrong. The Sharingan is a tool, most Uchiha relied on them far to much which is why none ever became Hokage. And as for Potential Sakura is the one with the most potential of that team. Now before you protest let me explain.
Starting with personality she has the most drive. Right now it is to Marry Sasuke, but if redirected or used to inspire training then she would have a driving force unrivaled. Next is her massive intelligence and perfect memory.
She has Perfect chakra control and a small build. That screams Medical Ninja. Add some Genjutsu and other skills and the girl will blow Sasuke out of the water every time. It would take a bit longer but still the point remains.
Look at Jiraiya. Though I cant really agree with that as he was 6 when he graduated so I don't get why you dog him so much. He was obviously insanely skilled from the beginning if he could achieve that. Plus he was a Civilian born orphan that managed that."
The whole room was quiet. The watchers of the conversation were shocked at his blatant disrespect of the Sanin. Orochimaru on the other hand was thinking about how right the boy was. He really never looked at it that way. He might have stopped picking on Jiraiya if he did not enjoy it so much.
" This is why I keep you around. You are truly a brilliant young man." The rest of the room almost face faulted at that.
One of the watchers could not handle that and yelled out " Why is he allowed to get away for such impertinence. He should be taught a lesson!"
Orochaimaru just burst into laughter " Sorry to disappoint you but this child is a great deal stronger then me. Even if I did win I doubt I would survive the fight. Or any of you as fights between beings of our level of power are quiet large."
Every one looked at Kit in fear and respect. He was stronger then the Snake Sanin, That was terrifying.
They went back to their discussion about the invasion. Though Kit was on everyone's mind.
Back in the Village the day before the Chunin Exams Start.
"RUNNNNNNNN!" Konohomoru screamed as he wisely ran from the pissed of Sakura. After a sharp turn he ran into a much larger body.
" Oh sorry for that" He was then picked up by the front of his shirt with a puppet master, as His teacher called them, glaring at him.
" Now that was not very nice you little brat I ought to crush your little skull."
Just as Sakura was about to defend them and Sasuke, Who was hiding in a tree, was about to toss a rock at the boy, a loud laughter filled the area. Looking around they all saw it was coming from The three kids.
Moegi came forward " Now, I believe you just threatened my friend. This is not a wise decision."
KanKuro as a bit confused " And why is that?'"
"Me" A voice from behind the puppet master said. Everyone turned to look at a bored looking Naruto. But even with the bored look on his face everyone could feel a massive source of pure power coming from him. It made all of their hair stand on end and fear enter their being. They all knew that he was not an entity to piss off.
Kankuro let Ko down and the boy ran to his friends. Then Sakura's fangirl senses started to tingle. She Saw Sasuke and had to scream at Naruto.
" Naruto, stop showing off. We both know Sasuke is better then you." Everyone looked at her in exasperation, even Gaara who was hiding in the tree.
Naruto responded to the idiot. " Really pinkie. If that is the case then why am I in the Bingo book and he is not. Why am I considered an S rank ninja and he is not even on the general radar." Naruto then flared his eyes at her and she gained a glassy look. She fell over with her eyes open. Everyone turned to the boy in fear as they felt no chakra being used on her. It was just from the raw feel of his chakra, not a jutsu.
Gaara came down " I am Gaara of the Sand. Who are you?"
Naruto turned to the boy. " I am Naruto Uzumaki, Demon of the Leaf. But your ' Mother" Could tell you some more." With that Naruto walked over to the children and shushined away.
Gaara turned to his siblings " If you values your lives at all you will refrain from angering him." He then began to walk off with his siblings following him.
Sasuke in the Tree was furious at that. How did Naruto strike so much fear by just being their. He wanted such power. But the Other side of him was Terrified. He knew what Naruto did to Sakura. He had seen his mother do it to a man that had groped her but in the street. The man was still in the hospital from the damage to his Psyche.
In the Tree Behind all of this the Sound team was shivering. They had Met Naruto and Kit and both Terrified them. Naruto's name was far more accurate then anyone understood. He was like a Maelstrom. A force of Nature that one does not fight but endure. Overall It would not end up good for them.
The Next day Found Team 7 inside of the Academy building. They were there for the Test. They had just gotten to the second floor when Sakura and Sasuke stared at the door. Naruto just walked along to the Next floor, as that was where the real door was. After a minute he was followed by Sasuke who began to accept a Fight between Himself and Lee.
" I would advise against that Sasuke, you wont win. And Lee, don't make me take to Gai." Both parties turned to him, one in annoyance, the other in a strange mixture of fear and Reverence.
Lee Screamed out " Naruto it is you!" He sprinted in blurring speeds to embrace Naruto, Naruto just caught him with a smile. He liked Lee, the Kid worked his ass off and achieved incredible results. He was an awesome Ninja in terms of skills. Personality could be worked on but whatever. He actually was planning on something for the kid should he be impressed.
" Hey Lee, You know that if Gai caught you then you would be punished." Scolding the Bug-eyed boy.
Sakura, surprisingly not acting like a fan girl, asked " Naruto, how do you know him and how would Sasuke lose" Naruto was shocked at this. He could feel the Beginnings of a change in the girl, he had since the Wave Mission. She Was a lot stronger then she was then, though her fangirl personality surfaced time from time. Like the day from before.
"Well Haruno I work out with him and his Teacher in the mornings at times ,It is a lot of fun really. And as for Sasuke losing, well his speed is impressive I will say that. But Gai is a Speed and strength Junkie. Something he passed onto Lee who is extremely powerful in that sense. Sasuke would lose, and badly. In fact he might actually die or have a severe injury."
Sasuke went straight into attack mode but was immediately subdued by Naruto. Before he even moved more then a flinch he was paralyzed completely. All it took was a deep penetrating stare that seemed to take hold of his soul, suffocating it.
"Listen to me worm. If you wish to survive then I would recommend that you don't piss of beings far ahead of your own pitiful level. You'll live longer that way. "
Sasuke seethed at this, he hated Naruto with every fiber of his being, almost as much as he does Itachi. Both were able to take away all of his control, it maddened him so fully. But at the same time he knew that if he pissed of Naruto he would die, painfully. As much as he hated the boy he could see how far ahead of him Naruto was.
Sensing his train of thought , Naruto nodded and turned to leave. " Lets go"
After a short walk they were at a door with Kakashi in front of it. He gave them a crap speech on Teamwork and some such stuff and they went in.
Kakashi was not a man to admit his own faults. But He was terrified of Naruto. The boy was twelve and still massively stronger then he was. The boy knew it and was not afraid to show it.
But at the same time Naruto was not evil. He was a kind of shade of grey. He was loyal and kind to some, like to Lee and Gai. But to him and his team Naruto was cold and cruel. Viscious and honest. It made him afraid to be honest.
And guilty, so guilty. He had abandoned the boy and it seemed that it would come back to bite him in the ass.
He could feel a storm brewing and he did not know if he would survive it. but what he did know was that Naruto was going to be in the center.
Sorry for the Delay, I just got back to College so it was a bit to settle into. Regular updates now.. Enjoy
