Chapter 3 The fight and a team

"Begin", said Iruka before jumping away.

Naruto and Sasuke stood there looking at each other. Then, the fighting began. Sasuke ran towards Naruto with his arm cocked. The punch didn't land. Naruto grabbed his wrist and twisted it throwing Sasuke toward the side of the arena 'Heh, and I thought that this would be a fair fight.' Naruto spun into Sasuke knocking him into a tree. Naruto then jumped away but throwing a few snap bombs at him. Most of the crowd thought that Naruto had realized the strength of their precious Uchiha and was going to forfeit. Then the bombs went off.

Most of the girls in the stadium screamed "What right do you have to hurt Sasuke-kun! " Others shouted about how Sasuke would get Naruto yet." Hatake Kakashi was watching this fight and wondering whether he should go though with his plan to privately train Sasuke and leave the rest of his team out. Sasuke was getting his butt kicked by Naruto.

Then the Yondaime's teaching came up in his head after so many years about not ever leaving any of his team out to dry and focusing on just one of them. No matter how special the last Uchiha was the rest of his team was his responsibility as well. Then Sasuke made a big mistake, he ran at Naruto with a kunai. Naruto decided to pull out his ace in the hole.

He pulled out one of his summoning scrolls and slammed his hand down. The audience was in shock as he pulled out a four foot long sword that was six inches wide. The sword had a sleight curve to it. Sasuke barely saw the sword move as he came up on Naruto with his battle knife. The blades made a tang as they hit and suddenly Sasuke was thrown out of the ring by the force that the sword was swung with. The two people that had bet on Naruto were now very wealthy people. Sasuke was aghast. How could anyone beat him, Him, he was the best rookie in the class for the whole time he had been there, then this guy marches in and takes him out like he's a nobody.

Naruto was blushing. Hinata was amazed. A person that strong had taken an interest in her! She felt like she was on a cloud. Then an uprising occurred. Every fangirl of Sasuke's charged at Naruto while he was waving at Hinata.

Before Naruto could turn around they had him and were preparing to do who knows what to him when Hinata summoned her courage and yelled, "How dare you!" Needless to say everyone was surprised at this. Hinata had never said more than a few words without stuttering before and had definitely never shouted. Then Hinata did something even more surprising: she attacked. Before the fangirls knew what hit them they were being thrown back by Jyuken. Everyone was staring at Hinata dumbly. She had completely blocked the attack on Naruto. Iruka was the first one to get his wits back. "The winner is Naruto Uzumaki!" Naruto simply nodded and smiled at Iruka then, jumped away.

-----------------

Later that night Naruto was sitting in the apartment he had rented and was enjoying some ramen. He thought back on the time he had spent with Itachi. Itachi was like a father to him and he had taught him a lot. Then he thought about the friends he had made on their trips. Because Itachi was a missing-nin they couldn't meet many people and they were constantly covering their tracks from Shisui who wanted Itachi dead and Naruto for Akatsuki.

The people Naruto had met all pretty much fell into two groups. Rejects like his two Jinchikuri friends. Or missing-nins that were also banished or run out of their village for something they didn't do. They were all like brothers to him. One of them was Kakogan from the rock. He was the host of the Rokubi no kuma. The rokubi was a demon that he had hidden himself from humans as much as he could to avoid disputes. Alas, the rock wanted a super ninja so they captured and sealed him in Kakogan. Since the villagers hated him so much he spent most of his time outside of his village, where he met Naruto and Itachi.

His other demon-bearing friend was Eikimaru. He held the Yonbi no mouko. They had found him in the forest. Eikimaru was blind but had the tiger's senses of smell and hearing. He was dang fast and his demon had give him the tiger weapon. Each of the lord biju had a weapon that they used in their human form. Lues' weapon of choice was a scythe that was about six feet long with a blade five inches tall and one and half feet long. Naruto was still waiting for Kyuubi to judge him strong enough to wield the strongest of the Demon lord's weapons. Itachi had taught him swordsmanship but they still didn't know when (if ever) Naruto would get his weapon and what it would be. Naruto decided one thing: if he kept thinking about this he would never get to sleep and he had to meet his team tomorrow.

He locked up, got into bed and started to meditate. He put himself in a trance and could feel the three seals on him. One was the Yondaime's seal. The other two he had added. One of them was the absorbing seal. This allowed him to permanently absorb some of the Kyuubi's power. So far he had absorbed 4. Kyuubi knew that there was no getting out of Naruto's body so he decided on day to pass his strength on to Naruto so that the blond would be able to use his power without the damage to his inner coils. The other allowed Naruto to scroll through the memories of Kyuubi like a library. Of course Kyuubi could control what Naruto saw but it was still very useful. His meditative state served two purposes, one was that this was the only time he could fix or power up his seals. The seals needed chakra to work and this was the only time he could give them chakra. The other use was to allow him to go to sleep. The trance put Naruto somewhere between awake and asleep. With so much of Kyuubi's power in him the only way he could get to sleep was from here, he did.

A/N Yes it was late and short but its better than nothing

POLL ALERT- I need to know what weapon to give to Naruto and Kakogan Yes, the other two will play a part in this story. RULES- Kakogan can have a sword but Nruto can't. No scythes because Eichimaru has one. I'm thinking of going for a whip for Naruto but vote anyway.
