I Don't Own Naruto
Naruto stood by himself outside one of the gates of the forest of death waiting for them to open.
"Just one last piece of advice" came Anko's voice over a set of loudspeakers.
"Don't die" said Anko before the gates were flung open, Naruto casually walked through the gates, pulling his bow off his back before jumping up into the lower branches of the trees of the forest.
"Alright Naru-kun do you have a plan?" asked Akane from within Naruto's mind.
"Yeah spend a day in the forest kicking people's asses and then making sure I have both scrolls before then heading to the tower" Replied Naruto before he ran off in a random direction with his bow and arrows at the ready.
#Several Hours Later#
Naruto was tree hopping when he heard a high pitched scream, Naruto stopped dead on the tree branch before taking off for the scream. Running through the trees Naruto burst from the tree line to find a trio of Ame ninja standing over two dead Kusa ninja and one alive red haired girl who had torn clothes and was more than likely the one who screamed.
"Naruto she is without a doubt Uzumaki" said Akane.
"Doesn't matter was going to save her anyway" muttered Naruto notching a trio of arrows one for each of the Ame nin's skulls. But before Naruto could attack the nin one of the nin turned to him.
"You guys we got company" said the nin, before his two comrades turned and also saw Naruto who let his arrows fly, only one of the three hit its mark and the nin fell over dead while the other two glared at Naruto.
"Oh you're dead now buddy" declared one of the nin, Naruto put his bow on his back before dropping from the tree branch landing in a crouch as the ground beneath him buckled as he landed.
"Is that so?" questioned Naruto pulling his blade off his back.
"oooohhhh scary big ass sword, you compensating for something" mocked one of the two remaining nin before both burst out laughing. Naruto just stood there before a mist was pulled in around them and the two Ame nin stopped laughing.
"I thought he was a Konoha nin" said the one of the Ame nin
"I'm sure his headband was a Konoha one" said the other.
"It is but I am Naruto Uzumaki the legacy and second coming of the Monster Of The Mist" declared Naruto's disembodied voice from within the mist.
"Now like that shit stain I could simply kill you but you were going to rape my cousin so I'm going to kill you slowly and painfully" said Naruto.
"What are you going to do blondie?" taunted one of the nin.
"Hyoton Shimo Buresu (Ice Style Frost Breath)" called Naruto breathing a cloud of ice at the two nin, both jumped out of the way however both were caught a little bit by the frost breath their feet both getting caught in the cloud, Naruto appeared from the fog and slammed the side of his blade into both nin, before vanishing back into the mist.
"Son of a - Ugh" one of the two Ame nin only interrupted when Naruto kicked him in the chin knocking him to the ground and before he could even move two pairs of arrows pierced each of limbs and he began screaming, only for Naruto to once more appeared from the fog only to slam his feet on the Nin's face crushing the man's skull.
"YOU BASTARD" yelled the last nin only for an arrow to nail him right between the eyes. The mist cleared as the last Ame nin fell to the ground.
"P-P-Please D-D-Don't H-Hurt me" said the red haired girl backing away from Naruto.
"Hey, Hey, Hey I promise I won't hurt you what's your name?" Asked Naruto bending down so the two were at eye level.
"K-K-Karin U-U-Uzumaki" said Karin still terrified of the man in front of her.
"Karin hey, I'm Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki Yuki" said Naruto with a smile towards the terrified girl, her eyes widened.
"U-U-Uzu-Uzumaki?" questioned Karin her eyes wide, Naruto nodded only to be tackled by a red blur.
"Hey it's ok Karin" said Naruto gently rubbing her back.
"Family that's all I have ever wanted ever since my mother died" muttered Karin against Naruto's chest.
"Then stay here I can offer you asylum here in Konoha stay with me Imoto" said Naruto making Karin
"Nii-san" said Karin hugging him, Naruto himself just hugged the girl while silently creating a clone to find the scrolls.
After several moments of searching the clone returned with a heaven and earth scroll to match the earth one he already had.
"Alright Imoto we need to move I still have an exam to pass" said Naruto.
"b-but you're by yourself?" said Karin.
"Yes but that's how I entered I'm taking the exams solo" said Naruto.
"Oh ok" said Karin getting up.
Naruto held Karin's hand and the two jumped into the trees and began to run.
After a couple of minutes of running Naruto stopped and knelt down in front of Karin.
"Hop on it'll be quicker" said Naruto, Karin nodded before climbing onto Naruto's back. Naruto stood up and began to run through the trees.
"So Nii-san?" began Karin getting a nod from Naruto to indicating he was listening.
"How did you use that Kirigakure no Jutsu (Hidden Mist Jutsu) I thought only ninja from Kirigakure could use that Jutsu?" questioned Karin her chin resting on his shoulder.
"I spent six years training away from Konoha under many different sensei one of whom was a former Kiri nin and a former member of the seven swordsman" said Naruto, Karin nodded.
"Who else did you train under?" questioned Karin.
"Not really something I want to get into right now" said Naruto, getting a nod from Karin.
Naruto then spotted a trio of Kusa nin wandering around on the forest floor.
"Those bastards" growled Karin.
"You know them?" questioned Naruto.
"They picked on me relentlessly because of my red hair" said Karin glaring at her hair, Naruto put her down.
"Well then it looks like it's time for these bastards to learn what it is to cross my family" said Naruto, dropping from the forest floor.
"Oi assholes, back here" yelled Naruto pulling out his bow.
"And who the hell are you?" questioned one of the nin glaring back at Naruto.
"The big brother of the woman you teased for her hair colour" declared Naruto pulling out a trio of arrows and notching all three.
"You're such an idiot, there's three of us and only one of you" declared the obvious leader.
"Well, that is true but perhaps you miscounted" said Naruto letting all three arrows fly at the weakest link of the team of three all three arrow's hit their mark three spots up in a straight line up and down the chest.
"Hyoton Hiryū No Jutsu (Ice Style Ice Dragon Jutsu)" called Naruto a dragon forming out of ice and flying at the other member of the trio of Kusa nin, the guy tried to jump out of the way only for the dragon to follow him swallowing him whole before smashing apart revealing the man perfectly encased in ice.
"Because I only count one" said Naruto glaring at the man who by now was looking terrified.
"W-what are you?" questioned the man.
"I'm your death" declared Naruto ripping the huge sword off his back before running forwards and slicing the man from his left hip to his right shoulder.
"That was for Karin" declared Naruto looking down before looking for the scroll finding a heaven one.
Naruto jumped back up to Karin once again leaning down so she could hop onto his back once she was on again Naruto took off, heading in the general direction of the tower.
After a few moments Naruto stopped dead on a tree branch.
"What what is it?" asked Karin.
"I'm going to need you to go with my clone" said Naruto before flipping through hand signs.
"What why?" questioned Karin.
"Because I need to go and see some people who might not be nice to you even with me" said Naruto as the water in the air around him formed a clone which took Karin's hand.
"Don't worry he will take you to the tower where you'll be safe" said Naruto with a reassuring smile. Karin nodded and jumped away with the clone. Naruto himself turned to the west and began tree hopping.
Within moments Naruto stopped and dropped to his knees to hide as he watched three people wander aimlessly around the forest looking vaguely lost.
Naruto stepped off the branch and fell to the ground, landing in a crouch with a loud thud he looked at the three surprized people in front of him.
"N-Naruto?" questioned the black haired girl among them.
"Hey you lot" said Naruto standing up.
"Naruto" yelled the girl running forwards ant tackling Naruto to the ground.
"Hey Kin how are you?" questioned Naruto only for the now crying girl to punch him in the chest.
"He said you were dead, he swore to us you were dead, where were you?" questioned Kin punching Naruto in the chest while the other two members of the team settled for glaring at the blond.
"I'm sorry guys but it was beyond time for me to move out I only stayed so long to secure your freedom from the more deadly of his experiments" said Naruto.
"Why now Naruto why show yourself now?" questioned a borderline mummified genin looking at Naruto shaking his hands around.
"Because I needed to speak with you preferably without him around" said Naruto.
"About what?" questioned the mummified Genin.
"You leaving Otto and Joining Konoha" said Naruto as Kin pushed herself off Naruto.
"Naruto you can't be serious we work for one of Konoha's biggest traitors why would they simply just let us join Konoha's ranks?" asked the last of the genin.
"I'm perfectly serious Zaku, and I am because if you agree to reveal what you know about that snake I can offer you asylum here in Konoha under the protection of my clan and even Orochimaru isn't stupid enough to attack a whole village for three genin" said Naruto.
"Naruto he-" began Zaku.
"he already plans to attack Konoha yes I know you underestimate me Zaku I still have spies in that village" said Naruto with a smirk.
"So why do you need us surely your spy can provide all of the information you need" said the mummified Genin.
"I don't need you three for anything, Dosu, I want you three here because you are my friends and some of the very few decent people of Otto" said Naruto giving his mummified friend a deadpan look.
All three of the Otto genin thought for a moment before looking back at Naruto.
"What do we have to do?" asked Kin.
"What scroll do you guys have?" asked Naruto.
"We have an earth one why?" asked Zaku, Naruto reached into his pouch and pulled out a heaven scroll and tossed it to Dosu.
"Get to the tower as soon as possible and stay safe you three" said Naruto getting a nod from all three before he froze and shattered into shards of ice.
#The Next Day#
Naruto walked into the tower it was relatively early morning and Naruto had woken up not an hour ago and finished his trek to the tower.
"Oh Haku-chan hey" said Naruto noticing his girlfriend standing just in front of him.
"MMmmm Morning Naruto-kun" said Haku as she turned around rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
"I see the forest was no trouble for you" said Naruto stepping up to her throwing an arm over her shoulder.
"Not at all, what about you Naruto-kun?" questioned Haku kissing Naruto's cheek.
"Eh kinda boring actually" declared the blond.
