Chapter 11
--------------------
Naruto was standing in his ANBU uniform with the rest of the graduates from his homeroom around him.
"So where is your squad Naruto?" asked Sakura thinking that Naruto was joking when he said he was an ANBU captain.
"We're here Kazama-Senpai" came a voice from up a tree "Who are all these people?"
"Hey Koria, these are the people who will be validating this test and acting as witnesses on my decision of the second in command. Sakura and Ino here are also Medic-Nin so if anyone gets seriously hurt they can patch you up and send you to Tsunade-No-Baa-Chan"
"So what are the rules to this?" asked Nuzu
"Its quite simple, I have 3 bells, you must work together to get the bells off me before sundown. If you get the bells then I will decide who gets to be second in command and I will pay for you all to eat wherever you want" said Naruto "I suggest you come at me with killing intent or you might never get these bells off me"
"ALRIGHT!" yelled Koria charging at Naruto quicker than the spectators eyes could follow. Naruto calmly made a Rasengan in each hand then blocked the sword with one and throw Koria into a tree with the other.
"Sakura, Ino, you might want to heal him quickly." Said Naruto as they rushed over to Koria "I never said start yet"
"Wow, Naruto really has grown in such short time" said Neji to Sasuke
"Lets see how he manages against these experienced ANBU while he is a new ANBU" said Shikamaru sitting down.
The two remaining ANBU members approached Naruto so they were 5 metres away then Koria joined them.
"Ok people, lets start, and remember that if you all get a bell then I take you to dinner and I pay for the spectators as well. Yes I do remember you're there Chouji." Said Naruto dropping into his stance
"Ok, Kazama-Senpai, we won't hold back" said Nuzu activating his Kekkai Genkai, The Enbougan (Foresight Eye)
"Same goes for me, the only thing I won't do is kill you" said Naruto
"You might want to retract that statement" said Koria as he picked up a piece of wood and broke it into little pieces.
Koria then threw the wood chips at Naruto, but in mid air they turned into fireballs flying through the air.
"Turning potential energy into heat energy and using that as a fireball, very impressive" said Naruto as he narrowly dodged them "Do you have a mark for your Kekkai Genkai?"
"A tattoo on my chest appears and channels the Kekkai Genkai to the part of the body that needs it"
"So you all have a Kekkai Genkai?"
"Yes, we're a relatively few among the ANBU because the Kekkai Genkai gives away our identities." Said Damagi from behind Naruto
"Understandable but not all Kekkai Genkai's run in a family, as is the case for mine" said Naruto
"YOU HAVE A KEKKAI GENKAI!" yelled the boys from the spectators
"Yes, I found it out whilst meditating with Yamato-Sensei. It's a Dojutsu like most of the Kekkai Genkai's but it is so effective I never use it in non-lethal combat. I can show you but you and Yamato-Sensei are the only ones who will of seen it twice and lived. It's the Shukungan. It was a gift from a 'Friend' you could say, but either way, it has various uses but I wont show you them until later"
"Can you use it on us?" asked Koria
"I can do but it might drive you insane," said Naruto
"Well, lets start this and see where we go" said Damagi charging at Naruto from behind
"HYOUTON: KOORI SEKI NO OUJOU! (Ice Release, Ice Gate Of Death)"
A cage similar to Haku's Demonic Ice Mirrors formed around Naruto and Damagi except that this cage didn't have any gaps between the mirrors
"CONSTRICT!" yelled Damagi as the ice mirrors caved in on each other resulting in a smirking Damagi
"DOTON:TSUCHI SUIMA- JUTSU (Earth Swimmer Technique)" came a voice from the ground as Naruto appeared from beneath Damagi and dragged him down so only his head was showing
"Head Hunter Jutsu" said Naruto
"Damn it"
"Now there are only two of you,"
"Kazama-Senpai, this may hurt!" said Koria as he put his hands on the ground and a whole pool of oil engulfed Naruto leaving him dripping in the stuff.
"KATON: SHAKAKU JUTSU (Angel Of Fire Jutsu)" said Koria as he let out a huge humanoid blast of fire that ran straight at Naruto setting him ablaze.
"Very nice but not dice" said Naruto calmly wiping the burning oil off of himself
"How…."
"Suiton: Mizu Hira Jutsu (Water Palm Jutsu)"
"I mean how are you not getting burnt, normally people are screaming by now" said Koria
"I'll tell you when I can trust you" said Naruto "you only have about another hour to get these bells because you talked so much"
"Fuck," said Nuzu as he ran at Naruto and engaged in a huge spar with him.
The spar itself had no clear winner at the end because Nuzu could see the attacks coming and Naruto was too fast to be hit.
"Naruto-kun….." said Hinata looking at her crush fighting better than Hiashi with very little effort
"You really do like him don't you" said Sakura looking at her
"Yes.."
Naruto suddenly threw a Rasengan at Koria who was picking up wood near the crowd but he dodged out the way and the Rasengan headed straight into the crowd.
Everyone moved out of the way except for Hinata who was too busy daydreaming to concentrate on it.
"HINATA!" yelled Naruto seeing the Rasengan approaching Hinata at breakneck speed
'DAMN IT FOX, ACTIVATE IT NOW!' yelled Naruto in his head
'Alright don't shout, the time perception ability is active now'Naruto saw the Rasengan just a few inches from Hinata but it was going at a snails pace now, he ran up charging a Piercing Rasengan with the Wind Element added. He thrust the cone of energy into the other Rasengan and forced it into a nearby tree just as his time perception stopped.
"Naruto-kun, thank you" said Hinata then fainting on the spot
Naruto grabbed her and handed her to Neji who just stared at Naruto with wide eyes.
"What's wrong Wedgie?" asked Naruto thinking that would wake him from his trance but all he could hear was Neji saying "Your eyes" in a voice lower than a whisper.
"Huh.. oh yeah I forgot they do that when I use my Kekkai Genkai" said Naruto
His eyes has become redder than Kurenai's and the symbol of the triagram (Devil Sign/ Upside Down Star) was his pupil in pure black.
"Looks a little Mangekyou to me" said Sasuke
"Don't call it that, I wouldn't be seen with the Mangekyou Sharingan, looks really bad on me" said Naruto as his eyes turned back to normal
"You owe us dinner Kazama-Senpai," came voice from behind Naruto
"Huh?" said Naruto as he looked around and saw that each of his team was holding up a bell.
Naruto felt around his waistline for the bells he had tied there and didn't feel anything.
"Sneaky bastards, taking advantage of my predicament to steal something for the mission."
This made the group slightly nervous.
"I like you," said Naruto "You had the sense to work together and send one person in to get the bells and give one to the other two."
"Thank you Kazama-Senpai" said the group
"One question, how old are you people?" said Naruto
"20, 24, 18" said Nuzu, Damagi and Koria respectively
"How does it feel to be bosses around by a 17 year old?"
"About the same when Kakashi Hatake joined ANBU" said Damagi
"I knew he was smoother than the other Sensei's for a reason!" said Naruto with a glint of triumph in his eye.
"I suppose, now where should we eat?" asked Nuzu to the crowd "Naruto's paying"
"Actually, Tsuande-No-Baa-Chan is. ANBU Captains have a private check book that takes it straight out of the Hokage Bank Account" said Naruto smirking
"You really shouldn't underestimate Naruto" said Sasuke as he walked past the gawping ANBU members.
"Or I could try and use my Sannin rank to get it for free" said Naruto thoughtfully
"That's not good Naruto" said Sakura
"Oh well, worth a try" said Naruto.
"Lets eat Korean BBQ!" yelled Chouji who received a punch to the head from Ino
"You ate that for breakfast!" yelled Ino
"Oh well, it's so good I could eat it 3 times everyday!" said Chouji
"You can't win when it comes to Chouji and food" said Naruto to Ino
"What, this fat ass is a good arguer" said Koria jokingly
Ping everyone backed away except for the ANBU members
"What's everyone backing away for?" asked Koria
"What did you just say?" said an ominously calm Chouji
"Ummm… This Fat ass is a good arguer?" said Koria
"DON'T CALL ME FAT I'M JUST A LITTLE CHUBBY!" yelled the now psychotic Chouji
"Chouji, calm down right now or I will not take you to Korean BBQ" said Naruto
"Asshole" said Chouji calming down
The whole group started walking down the street, which caused a few people to jump out of the way seeing 4 ANBU, 3 Jounins, 2 Special Jounins, 4 Chuunins, and 10 Genin walking down the street led by a guy with a sword that looked like it could barbecue a cow in 20 seconds.
They soon reached the Korean BBQ place where the owners could be seen getting dollar signs in their eyes.
"Table for 23 please, and we want a private room" said Naruto approaching the doorman as ominously as he could.
"Umm….Ok, can we have a name please?"
"I never give my name, my enemies would pay good money to find out who I am so I wont. Just put the table under Uchiha or Hyuuga seeing as we have 3 of those clans in this party" said Naruto pointing to Sasuke, Neji and Hinata. "If you want to annoy 3 Jounins then by all means refuse us entry"
This made the Doorman turn on heel and lead the large group into a humongous hall with room enough for the entire group and then some.
"Hey dude, call in the Instructor Jounin from High School and invite them to dinner here." Said Naruto
"Very well, any particular Sensei's?"
"Kakashi, Ero-Sennin, Iruka, Ibiki, Tsunade and all of the other teachers who taught my friends" said Naruto
"Who's Ero-Sennin?"
"Jiraiya,"
"You call a Sannin a pervert?" said the doorman looking confused and insulted at the arrogance of this ANBU member
"I also call Tsunade, Baa-Chan so go invite them and tell them that 'Kazama' asked for them"
"Alright"
The doorman walked out of the door and left the group for a few minutes until all the Jounin poofed into the room behind Naruto at the head of the table.
"IS EVERYBODY FINE!" yelled Gai
"YES GAI-SENSEI" called Lee from the other end of the table
"Shut up Lee or I will pierce your Gai-puppet with my Rasengan" said Naruto as the Jounins took their seats
"NOT LIL GAI!" cried the boy with Gai comforting him from the seat next to him.
The waiters came in at this point with the plates of raw meat that Naruto had ordered for everyone and a big tray of meat for Chouji. Another wave of waiters came in with a bottle of sake for everyone and a big bottle of shandy for Lee seeing as he couldn't have lots of alcohol.
"I would like to pronounce a toast, to new beginnings and new partners!" said Naruto
"To new beginnings and new partners!" came a cheer from around the table
Naruto then took off his mask as did his comrades so they could eat their food. He got his first look at his comrade's faces and was quite impressed by what he saw. Koria was a red shorthaired teen with yellow eyes with a cat's eye pupil. He had a muscular body but not a large one. Nuzu had pure white eyes like the Byakugan but these had a smaller pupil. His medium length black hair contrasted perfectly with his eyes. Damagi had an icy stare coming from his grey eyes and his silver hair matched Kakashis in terms of shine, this suited Damagi considering his ice jutsus.
The group were finishing their meal when a waiter entered the room that made Naruto, Koria, Nuzu and Damagi put their masks on quite rapidly.
"I am sorry but we are closing now, you will have to leave" said the Waiter
"Why what time is it?" asked Tenten
"Its 9pm" said the waiter
"Holy cow, time does fly" said Naruto as he hurried to get out but was stopped by the waiter.
"Your bill," said the waiter handing Naruto a piece of paper
"Um…I think there's some mistake, I want a bill not a phone number"
"No mistake, we had to raise prices because of inflation and the demand for Authentic Korean BBQ"
"Tsunade-No-Baa-Chan is going to pay for this" said Naruto writing out a check
He handed the check to the waiter who simply said "Very good sir" and walked off
"There was so many noughts on that check I thought he was adding up my old test scores" said Naruto that got a laugh out of everybody in the room that could laugh.
"I say we all go home and get some rest because the Team Assignments will be tomorrow and I have some important business to discuss with Tsunade after we leave" said Naruto gesturing to everyone to leave
"Can I talk to you quickly Naruto-Kun" said Hinata tapping her fingers together.
"Ok, lets go outside" said Naruto pulling her by the hand and going outside
"What's the matter Hinata-Chan?" asked Naruto
"Well, after your little display at graduation, father got pissed off. I was trying to calm him down and well……..he kicked me out"
"HE DID WHAT!" yelled Naruto from behind his mask
"Don't be mad Naruto-Kun" said Hinata
"Well, where are you staying?"
"Nowhere"
"So your father kicked you out and you have nowhere to stay. That is not on, you are coming with me to see Tsunade." Said Naruto
"Why?"
"As the heir to the house of Kazama, I have access to the fourth Hokage's former residence. You know that huge estate on the west side of town. That's the Kazama Estate. I have every right to live there so I'm getting Tsunade to give me the key"
"Wow, but the estate was meant for the whole family. What are you going to do on your own?"
"I wont be, you're coming with me" said Naruto
"WHAT!" yelled Hinata as she fainted
"Great…" said Naruto sarcastically as he picked her up and started walking to the Hokage's office.
