CHAPTER SIX
AN/Hello to all who reads my stuff. first of all thanks for sticking out with me so far. second i don't own Naruto in any shape, way or form. thirdly please review as it helps me remember to write]
As Naruto waited for his turn to do the jutsu part of the exam, he played with what looked like a pen but was in actuality a seed. Naruto had figured out he can precharge a seed so that he didn't have to charge it during a battle. As long as he stayed in contact with it, it would not morph into a golem. During this waiting period, the seeds that were linked to his mind congratulated him on his total beat down of Mizuki. "Whooo! Congrats on beating up Mizuki. Never liked that asshole!".
These thoughts were repeated on multiple occations. By a lot of seeds. Soon it was total choas in Naruto's mind.
While the seeds were yelling and congratulating him, he thought of the time when he asked the seeds why they were so nice to him.
Flashback.KONOHA TRAINING GROUNDS.NARUTO IS 9 YEARS OLD. COUPLE DAYS AFTER DEMON SITUATION.
Naruto was wrapping up his training for the day, when he noticed that the seeds he used for training were all over the place."Ugh! This is gonna be such a pain to pick up."
"Don't worry," one of them called out cheerfully,"We'll come to you!"
Immediatly roots started growing out of the seeds and started to wobble towards Naruto.
Naruto noticed a slight drain on his chakra but dismissed it."Uhm...Thanks?" Naruto half asked/said."By the way what are you? Why are you so helpful to me? "
The seeds started to glow and they all started talking in harmony."On the night the Kyuubi attacked there was a lot of deaths, and therefore a lot of souls to capture. While the fourth Hokage was fighting the Kyuubi, the Shinigami was reaping souls, but was called away from the souls. During his absence Lord Yami saw an oppurtunity of chaos and immediatly stole most of the souls. Shinigami didn't notice because there was simply too many casualities and was busy dealing with something else. After stealing the souls, Lord Yami stored them away until he wanted to use them. Nince years later you were being beaten and Lord Yami saw his chance of devastation. He channeled all the souls he got into the words being carved into your skin. But they were made dormant, by the red chakra you possess...".
"Yeah what is the deal with the red chakra? I really think it doesn't belong to me. It feels unnatural. Or rather too natural. like it is more one with nature." Naruto interupted.
"You will know when you are older. Anyhow your red chakra made it dormant. But when you noticed your blighted skin you started forcing both blue and red chakra out forcing the souls to become active, like Lord Yami wanted. The souls picked a name and tore away from your skin balling up. The omega sign appeared on the seeds because Lord Yami wanted to rub the fact that he got the souls in Shinigami's face. Lord Yami made sure that we only obeyed you and no one else. That is why we are so helpful and friendly. Imagine us rather as helpers or sevants."
"Cool. Does this mean I can utterly boss you around?"
"...yes", the seeds responded resigned to their fate.
Flashback end.
Naruto sighed and banged his head against the desk trying to drown out the yammering of the Sakura of how well she did. Finally after a few more minutes of torture, Naruto was called to the seperate classroom. Naruto didn't have time to seal the seed back into his storage seals, so he just put it into his pocket.
In front of him was Iruka was a small smile on his face, and Mizuki with a arrogant smirk on his beaten up face. 'Time to start the sabotage...' thought Mizuki, and without the notice of his fellow teacher made a handsign, the classroom suddenly gave off a contricting feel but was left unnoticed by Iruka. Naruto widened his eyes and then narrowed them. If you looked closely at that moment his pupils were slits.
'You bastard! Are you willing to stoop that low just to get stupid revenge.'
"Alright, Naruto all you have to do is the substitution, henge into a person we know and the clone jutsu." instructed Iruka.
Naruto gave off a smile at Iruka and started to do as instructed. He tried to henge into Iruka but had rather come out as a deformed version of Iruka's Demon Headed jutsu. Big headed, red face and bulging eyes. Iruka eyes slighty twitched but was silently worried. "Naruto, what was that? Please tell me that was joke."
Naruto transformed back and frowned,"What do you mean Iruka? Wasn't I transformed as you?"
"Ahum! Iruka it is againts our policies to tell him what he did wrong or otherwise. Anyhow Naruto just know that if you fail the clone or the substitution jutsu you fail for the third time and you know what that means..." Mizuki trailed off.
Naruto frowned and quickly decided to turn around, as to indicate he was searching for the log he was to substitute with.
But what he was really doing was while his back was turned he pulled out the seed in his pocket. The seed fell into the ground and morfed into an earth golem that stayed underground. 'I sincerely hope I'll be able to pull off the substitution jutsu.'
Meanwhile Mizuki was silently laughing maniacally. 'Ha Ha. You think you can get away with hurting me, demon!'
As Naruto put the fingers together for the sign of the Substition jutsu and closed his eyes in concentration.
"Poof."
Naruto slowly opened his eyes and immediatly saw shards of wood scattered around the room. But he did notice that he was on the spot that the partially eviscerated log was. He cheered internally because that was a pass according to academy standards. As he looked to his teachers for conformation he smirked.
Mizuki's seat was filled to the brim with wooden needles. He was cowering on the floor like a wimp, slowly mumbling incoherent things. Funnily enough Iruka was wood free. Naruto silently snickered at Mizuki's expense. Iruka gave a slow nod to indicate that naruto passed that area of the exam.
Mizuki got up from the ground and immediatly cleared his throat, "Ahum. Congrats Naruto ! You passed that part of the exam. Now on to the clone jutsu."
"Uhm, Mizuki-sensei can I do any clone, even elemental ones?"
Mizuki's mouth was agape with shock,"You can do elemental clones? I don't think that is permitted..."
"No wait. The whole point of the clone is to confuse the enemy and I do believe that an elemental clone can accomplish that too." Iruka interupted. "It's fine Naruto. Take it away."
Naruto smiled and and placed his hands into a random handsign. Luckily for Naruto both his teachers didn't know how to do the jutsu. 'Are you ready?'
"Yes. just give me the signal."
Naruto just started to gather chakra at an alarming rate.
"Doton: Kage Bunshin"
Suddenly a lot of smoke appeared in the room obscuring Naruto. His earth golem immediatly started to form a human body, and started to shape his features to Naruto's own. The golem also places his hands into the henge justu's handsigns. The golem started to gain color and it started to match Naruto's color scheme.
Meanwhile Mizuki was busy coughing and wheezing which aggravated his wounds and he started bleeding from his nose again. Iruka was used to Naruto and his unpredictable personality and he used a rebreather he stored in one of his vest pockets. So he was fine.
As the smoke cleared Iruka saw 2 Naruto's. He shuddered and shakenly checked the clone jutsu criteria. "Congrats Naruto. You are an official ninja of this village. Please come get your headband and meet here again in a weeks time. Please remember to register at the Administration office. You know the one you bombed with pink paint for a straight week," but then he whispered,"After this we can celebrate with a nice bowl of ramen."
Naruto whooped and came to retrieve his headband. He clutched it instead of putting it on. He nodded to Iruka's proposition. And left the room.
After Mizuki was done wheezing his lungs out, he noticed that the clone still didn't dispell. Instead it stared him directly into his eyes, and slowly raised his middle finger,but out of eyesight of Iruka. It started to disintegrate and all that was left was some dust for the janitor and a pen looking object.
Mizuki ignored it and then made the sign to dispell the distrupting seal and left the room seeing as Naruto was the last student. 'Ok then seeing as that failed, I'm going to trick the demon into helping me steal the the forbidden scroll. Afterwards it is time to put Naruto down like the dog he is. Or should I rather say fox.'
