Chapter 2 The fateful return
They were about a half a mile from Konoha. Naruto was feeling down. He knew that Itachi couldn't come any closer to Konoha without his chakra being detected by the ninja of the village. This would be the last time he saw his sensei for a while. Itachi had a few things to say to Naruto before they parted. "Now Naruto, you know the rules, don't get into any unnecessary fights, and above all don't use the fox's chakra. The villagers not knowing you have the Kyuubi in you is very important."
"Don't worry sensei, they don't have to know a thing." Replied Naruto coolly. That said, Itachi used the replacement jutsu to return to their hide on the mountain above Konoha.
After a few moments pause Naruto started up the path towards Konoha The two Chunin guards at the gates of Konoha had a very strange visitor that day. He wore bandages over the lower half of his face, and bright blonde hair. The boy also wore a dark brown jacket over a black tee-shirt, both with pockets filled with what seemed to be scrolls all of this over a pair of black jeans. On these jeans were several shuriken and kunai holsters. The guard shouted "Kid, state your name and business!!!" "None of your beeswax." The kid said while still strolling towards the gate. "Kid sto." His voice trailed off as a light grey smoke filled the area, suddenly both the guards felt like all they could do was slump to the ground and sleep. Both of the chunin toppled over. When they woke up they had no memory of a strange kid walking by, in fact they didn't remember anything that had happened before that day all they could remember was standing at the wall and dozing off in the sun. As the kid crossed into Konoha he laughed, "Amateurs." Then blurred away.
Inside the Hokage's office the old man was signing some paperwork. Arashi, why did you have to die, I hate being Hokage. Suddenly there was a knock on his door and his secretary said, "Sir, there's someone here to see you." Sarutobi sighed "Send him in." This better not be impromptu visit from the ambassador from the land of earth, I hate that guy. Instead of a half dead diplomat he saw a boy around twelve years old walk through his door. "Hey, old man, miss me?" Sarutobi choked on his coffee, "Naruto!? I thought you ran away!" "I did old man, but now I'm back and better than ever. I'd like to take the genin exam here, okay." Of all the things I expected him to say I never thought he would say that. "Yes, Naruto, of course you can take the genin exams here, we wouldn't want you to go to another village and become one of their shinobi. You should go the genin exams will be starting at noon today." "Thanks, old man!" then Naruto shot off it being 11:58, just enough time to get there. Sarutobi pushed the button on his inter-com and said into the speaker "Iruka there is one more who will be taking the exams, expect him shortly." In a few minutes the entire class including Naruto was ready to take the exams. Everyone was closely eyeing the new kid taking the exam with them. All they knew about him was that his name was "Naruto". There were three parts to the exam for Genin. The first was a written exam, the second was a test of ninjutsu and the third was a tournament. If you passed the first two you were a genin but the tournament was what decided the final scores. Only three people didn't make it through the first two parts of the exam. The beginning of the tournament was boring, Chouji, Sasuke, Naruto, Kiba, Shino, Hinata, Shikamaru, and Ino defeated their opponents in one or two moves. The next match was Hinata vs. Chouji. Chouji started off the match with a powerful Niku tanku (Meat tank) attack. Hinata then surprised everyone by using jyuken to put him off course and send him rolling out of the ring, losing the match. Next was Kiba vs. Shikamaru. Shikamaru just forfeited before anyone could make a move. Everyone in the room face planted. After the world regained its balance from that little surprise the screen read Sasuke vs. Shino. Shino's bugs began to circle around him as he dodged some of Sasuke's vicious Taijutsu attacks. Many of the bugs latched on and began to drain the dark haired boy's chakra. Sasuke blew them away with a big fireball. Naruto thought Itachi sensei could make a fireball a thousand times bigger than that one, Sasuke really is just a shadow of his brother in terms of power. I hope I don't end up on the same team as that broody self-absorbed jerk. Back in the fight things were pretty even. Sasuke was always on the attack but Shino never let himself get hit. Eventually Sasuke managed to kick Shino out of the ring but was breathing heavily in his seat. Pathetic! The child barely used one jutsu and he's tired. Are you sure he is of the same vixen as Itachi-sama? Shove it where it hurts fox! Naruto replied. I was just wondering the same thing. Quiet kit, you should find out what these lumps are capable of if you are going to be on the same team as them in a short while, and by the way, you're up. Naruto looked up, the board read Naruto vs. Ino "Piece of cake." Naruto said after looking over his opponent. This, of course was a mistake because it got Ino mad, Ino is NOT pretty when she is mad. Ino charged fists flailing. Naruto dodged but left one of his snap bombs as a going away present. The bomb exploded. Ino was knocked back but that only served to enrage her more. That's when she pulled out a new jutsu her father had taught her, the Myou Shichousa (dark memory) technique.Suddenly a thousand memories exploded into Naruto's head. He realized that it was a broadened and less potent version of the Tsukomi. Of course, Naruto knew how to break the hold of Tsukomi. He did so.Ino was stunned when he broke her new jutsu; it was supposed to be almost impossible to get out of. Ino was still in shock so Naruto just kicked her out of the stadium. In the next round was Kiba vs. Naruto. Kiba and his dog took a soldier pill and used their dog human merge jutsu. Then they used Gatsuuga and charged at Naruto. Naruto pulled a scroll out of his jacket and slammed his palm into it pulling out a bomb with the Kangi Blast 2 written on it in red. As the two beastly Kibas advanced he threw the bomb at the ground then jumped out of there as fast as he could. Just as the Kibas reached where he had been a second ago the bomb exploded, the blast blew the Kibas out of the ring. 'Heh, I only needed my second blast bomb to knock them out of here!' 'Kit, you know you could have won with a few snap bombs or your first blast bomb. Don't reveal your skills until after the competition is over.' Kyuubi continued ranting but Naruto put up some mental shields and tuned out until the board lit up again. The fights continued with Hinata vs. Sasuke. Sasuke immediately used Katon-Hoensenka no jutsu to blow Hinata away. Hinata dodged with speed not usually seen in her. She activated her Byakugan and closed two of the chakra points in his left shoulder, making the arm useless. Sasuke jumped and threw a flurry of shuriken at her. Hinata just stood there. 'Foolish kit, she'll never make it in the real world if she can't even dodge some poorly thrown shuriken.' Kyuubi said breaking through the barriers that Naruto had put up. Suddenly, Hinata's hands began to glow. She then knocked away all of the shuriken except one with her bare hands. "W-what was that?" Sasuke asked urgently while wondering if he could use this technique against Itachi. Hinata replied coolly, "By pushing chakra into the palms of my hands and twirling it around I can make my hands as hard as steel." 'Well the kit's got originality; I thought that only you or Itachi-sama would come up with something like that.' 'Yeah that girl can fight.' Naruto said 'I hope she's on my team!' 'Looks like the kit has a little crush!' 'Shut up Kyuubi.' Naruto thought before slamming down the lid on their connection. Back in the ring Sasuke had used an enormous fireball to throw Hinata out of the ring when she came in close for the kill. Cracking his knuckles Naruto stood up thinking 'Time to kick some emo butt!' Before they could start the teacher, Iruka, informed them that they would have to wait to start the fight until they could get to the Chuunin arena, that way the whole village would be able to see them rumble. Naruto was a little disappointed; he wanted to see how he stood up to Itachi sensei's brother. Of course, this gave him some more time to try to pick out who he wanted on his team. Every team had to have a kunoichi and Hinata was his definite pick for that spot. He couldn't see who else he might want yet but If he could get Sasuke out of his anti Itachi rage he might be a good choice. Naruto couldn't pick the teams but if he could make friends with those of his classmates that he believed to be strong he could have a large amount of allies in the future. Fist target: Hinata. Naruto walked up to her casually and said, "Hey, nice fight!" The girl jumped and blushed heavily. She thought 'finally, another boy in this town who is a good ninja and isn't completely asocial. I don't know what all those fangirls see in Sasuke, he'll always turn them down.' She regained her composure and said "You too. What was your name again? Naruto answered "Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto" The boy motioned for her to turn around. She saw so many fangirls glomming onto Sasuke that he couldn't move. She laughed, "Luckily for you I'm not one of them." Naruto chuckled, "I am, in the past I've seen that fangirls are nothing but trouble!"
Together they walked toward the stadium where the fight would take place. Once everyone was seated in the stands Sasuke and Naruto faced off on the ground. Throughout the crowd betting was taking place and only two people had enough faith in the unknown to bet on Naruto. One was the Hokage himself and the other was a stranger in a cloak who moved vaguely like a ninja. Iruka stood in the center of the ring He said, "Begin." And they were off.
End ch.2
A/N: Cliffhanger, don't you love them!
A cyber cookie to anyone who can guess who the stranger is
Kyuubi calls Itachi Itachi-sama because the fox recognizes his power
The reason Naruto can use bombs like no one else can is because Kyuubi can heal him if he is too close to most of his bombs, thus letting him make bombs his major weapon
Jutsus
Katon- Hoensenka-creates a flurry of small fire balls
READ THIS NEXT PARAGRAPH
Here is a list of all the techniques Naruto knows
He has his snap bombs which create medium size explosions
He has Blast bombs numbered 1-15, the higher the number the bigger the blast
He has two bombs that create very large explosions called Koudo(earth) and heru(hell)
He has a chest that holds the ingredients for custom bombs made on-site
He has the Kage Bunshin jutsu and Futon-gikochinai kaze bakufu (stiff wind blast)
His most powerful jutsu is Rasengan and Rasenbomb, Rasen bomb is the same a rasengan but makes a bigger blast
The last jutsu he knows is the summoning jutsu to owls. Why owls? Because A. owls are cool B. bombs are big and bad for stealth so he needs another form of attack and C. owls are wise and can hold him back from getting into trouble
Tell me if you think he should know more after spending so long with Itachi and as always REVIEW!!!!!!
