Author's Note: It's been a while since I updated this story, so in exchange I made it a much larger update than last time :) over 11,000 words. not much to say but enjoy it, and please review I love feedback, it makes me fuzzy inside, in a not homo way(Nothing against gays) Rofl
--
The lead man scoffed at him "Do not speak to us in such a way, demon. It seems you somehow got some new eyes, we'll be happy to rip those from your head, and keep doing it every time you manage to get new ones through your demonic ways" All seven of them pulled out various Knives, the leader had a katana.
Naruto smirked "Do you fools even know how to wield a blade? Why not give me a demonstration" They needed no further asking, the man to the left of the leader whipped out a large hunting knife and lunged at Naruto.
Naruto easily dodged the wild swipe and grabbed the mans arm, and snapped it arm like it was nothing, causing the man to scream out and drop the knife, right into Naruto's waiting hand.
"It's unfortunate I've come to the decision of protecting myself" Naruto spun the man around by his arm, breaking his wrist and shoulder in the process, and then silencing the mans screams by ripping the blade across his throat in a violent spray of blood and stabbing him in the heart.
The would be leader screamed in anger and ordered them all to attack, a stupid idea for a bunch of knife wielding idiots.
Naruto quickly tore through them killing each and everyone of them in a fantastic shower of blood, with their own weapons. Naruto stepped over their bodies and stalked towards the leader, who had his sword up in front of him "It's a shame you people try to do this to me, from now on it will end in your deaths"
The leader lunged at him in anger, and tried to impale him, Naruto sighed at his sloppy tactics and slapped the blade away by the flat side, he then snatched the mans wrist, turned the sword until his wrist snapped, and turned the blade on it's user and rammed it home through his stomach with a sick squelching noise as the blade ripped through his intestines and out his back with a spurt of blood.
The man gasped in pain and looked down at the blade, with his hand and broken wrist still holding it, impaled through him, Naruto smirked and pulled a Kunai from his pouch "Since you were the leader, I'll grace you with the use of a weapon" Naruto used his Kunai to cut into man, deeply and violently until he bled out and died. Naruto sighed at the pathetic attempt on his life, he realized how weak the people he let beat on him for so long were, he left their still bleeding bodies in the middle of the street to stew in their own blood, with their own blades all rammed through vital spots on them.
Naruto went home and fell asleep to have the best nights sleep he ever had, he had finally delivered some justice to the ignorant fools, and he would be glad to keep doing it, for as long as it took to instill the knowledge that their influence on him was over.
Naruto woke up the next morning and got dressed quickly and went through his food supply, not like there was anything but Ramen, and Kyuubi was putting a stop to that as well 'Thats it Kit, after the Academy, same deal as the clothes, we're gonna get you some better food, you can't survive on Ramen
Naruto nodded 'Alright, sounds good anyway, I'm kind of sick of Ramen to be honest, sure it's not bad, and the Ichiraku's make the best in the village, but you just cant eat it everyday and keep loving it'
Naruto finished getting ready and headed to the Academy, he was early this time, which pleased Iruka. He didn't even fall asleep while waiting this time, in fact he looked pretty damn happy, and Iruka noticed it, and made note to ask.
"Naruto, you seem pretty happy today, did something happen?" He asked during lunch.
Naruto nodded and grinned "Yeah, Last night after I finished training seven villagers decided to torture me, and rip out my new eyes, and well I'm sure you heard about the bodies found this morning" Iruka was shocked, he had indeed heard about the seven dead men found earlier that morning, all killed with their own weapons, except one, who was covered in deep cuts, and run through with his own sword, it was a rather vicious scene, the entire scene was literally bathed in blood, all seven bodies had completely bled out. It was a site that was difficult for even some of the Shinobi to stomach, and here was Naruto, completely confessing that he did it, and smiling the whole way.
"You did that Naruto? Why are you smiling about it?" Iruka was concerned, generally people felt awful after their first kill, but this was a slaughtering.
A disturbingly evil grin crawled across Naruto's face "Yeah, it was me. I'm smiling because I've never felt better in my entire life, I'm able to give them payback for everything they've done to me. From now on, everyone who tries to attack me, or calls me a demon, dies, or gets a wonderful scare" There was an evil glint in Naruto's eyes the whole time he spoke, and it deeply saddened Iruka.
'So that's what happened, the Kyuubi twisted him in his weakened state after the attack last week, and was able to change him, the Naruto I know would never hurt, let alone kill a villager or Shinobi' Iruka looked down, "Oh"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The day passed without incident and at the end of the class, Iruka was actually the first person to leave before any of the kids 'I have to speak to Hokage-sama'
He arrived at the Hokage's office and knocked loudly, Sarutobi yelled for him to come in, and he opened the door and walked in.
Sarutobi saw Iruka step through the door and smiled "Ahh Iruka, it's good to see you, I was actually meaning to talk to you about Naruto, how is he doing?" Then he noticed the, slightly frightened, and sad look Iruka was currently sporting and grew serious "Iruka? Is something wrong?"
Iruka nodded "It's about those bodies that were found this morning Hokage-sama, I know who killed them"
Sarutobi's eyes widened, there had been no physical evidence found at the scene that led to anyone, so anything was useful "Who killed them?"
Iruka looked incredibly sad that he had to say the name, but he must. "Naruto, he admitted it to me today in class"
Sarutobi was shocked "You're saying Naruto did it? Are you aware that he's blind with two broken arms?"
Iruka frowned "Have you not seen him? He's made some kind of deal with the Kyuubi, the Kyuubi changed him, made him stronger, faster, fixed his eyes, scars, and arms, even made him taller and older, and Kyuubi seems to have twisted Naruto's mind while he was weakened from the attack. He's come to the decision that he's going to torture or kill everyone who tries to attack him, as punishment for everything he's been put through"
Sarutobi's eyes widened at the mention of the Kyuubi, and that Naruto knew of it, then he suddenly seemed much more relaxed and at peace with the second revelation that he was now dead set to slaughter those that wrong him, and it bothered Iruka.
"Hokage-sama, did you hear what I said? Naruto is dead set to slaughter villagers who show ill will to him!"
Sarutobi nodded "I heard you perfectly Iruka-san, While this deal with the Kyuubi business alarms me, I'm actually happy for the boy to have come to the decision to protect himself. Maybe now if he starts to kill off all of his attackers and adversaries, the ignorant fools will stop trying to attack him"
Iruka was completely surprised, he never thought of it like that, but he was still nervous about what might happen to him "But what about Naruto, and his mental stability?"
Sarutobi adopted a face of stone "While I can't believe I'm saying this, what the Kyuubi has done to, for, Naruto might not be bad. He made him able to fight back, and he convinced him to be willing to do so, he even gave him his life back, I'm willing to sit and see where this goes, if it turns bad, we'll intervene"
Iruka was not happy with the final decision, but he couldn't go against the Hokage's wishes, so he nodded "Very well, Hokage-sama, I'll keep an eye on him" Iruka then got up and left the office, clicking the door shut behind him.
The week passed by quickly, and there were two more attacks on Naruto, which turned into slaughters, the second time was similar to the first, with a group of people advancing on him, only to die gruesomely by their own blades, the third time was with a single drunken villager, but Naruto made no difference, this time he strung the man up to a light post with Shinobi wire around his neck, the sharp wire cut straight through the flesh and the man hung from his spine.
Today was the day Naruto had been looking forward to, he was done getting used to his body, the real training commenced, he was at the training field waiting for Kyuubi to begin, and he did.
'Alright Kit, todays the first day of real training, I want you to become more powerful then thought possible, and I want you to do it quickly, so from now on, you'll only be going to the academy three days a week, the first thing I'm going to teach you, is going to allow you to become stronger then you could believe, and faster too. I'm going to teach you the Kage Bunshin no jutsu'
Naruto smirked 'Hows it going to help me train quicker?'
Kyuubi smiled in his mind 'The Kage Bunshin is different than other clones, it creates solid clones of the user, with their own chakra, they can cast jutsu's and fight, but the best part is any knowledge the clones gain, is passed on to the original when they disperse, the reason this is truly amazing for you is because with mine and your chakra, you can train with thousands of clones at once, and I've devised a way to split my consciousness up infinitely, so I can teach all of the Kage bunshin different things at the same time'
Naruto's eyes widened, with training like that, he could literally gain thousands of years worth of training, he could easily become more powerful then ever thought possible, and in no time. 'What are we waiting for Kyuubi lets get started!'
'Indeed, it's a simple jutsu, only one hand sign, it's all about massive chakra reserves, so just reach down in yourself, use both my and your chakras, and create as many clones as you can possibly create, then we train until sun down, and we train like this for the rest of the year'
Naruto nodded and formed the hand seal, and drew up all of the chakra he could, and yelled "Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" The enitre field erupted in smoke, and was covered on every inch with clones. When the smoke cleared Naruto looked about and was amazed, there had to be at least 3500 clones!
Kyuubi again smirked in Naruto's mind 'Great, with a little more chakra control, you could control the number of clones much more, and create even more, now what I want you to do is concentrate on only creating 50 clones, but pump as much chakra into those 50 as possible'
Naruto cocked his head to the side slightly 'Why would I want to do that?'
'Because, if you focus more chakra into them, they last longer, can take more hits, and have more chakra to use'
Naruto nodded 'Ok, but why am I doing this right now?'
'There is one downside to this training method, even though you gain thousands of years of training, you gain no real world experience, fighting with other people, sparring. Getting ambushed and attacked in real world situations, I'm going to remedy that with these 'super' clones, for now since you are the only person on earth who could do something like this, we'll call them Oni bunshin'
Naruto, again nodded 'Right, thats cool but how is this going to help me gain experience?'
Kyuubi broke into a manic laugh 'I'm so glad you asked, you see I'm going to leave you for a while, I'm going to take over one of these Oni Bunshin, and give him far more chakra then the others, so he can take many hits, last for months of time, and can use as many techniques as I want. Then I'm going to take command of these 50 bunshin and teach them tactics and strategies, then, hehehe. We're going to hunt you'
Naruto's eyes widened 'Excuse me?'
'We're going to hunt you, we will be using advanced strategies and will be attacking you at random throughout the village while you go about your life, genjutsu, ninjutsu, taijutsu. Everything is in play, full fledged all out attacks, and we will strike anywhere, at anytime, might even happen at the academy sometimes, that'll surely give everyone a good show. Think of it as having your own personal army of Chuunins, lead by a Jounin, all stalking you through the village, oh and don't worry they'll all be henged'
Naruto smirked 'Well that certainly is the most bad ass training I've ever heard of! Lets do it!' Naruto focused as much chakra as he could into just 50 clones, and they all poofed into existence away from the group of weaker clones, Kyuubi instantly leaped from Naruto's mind, into the body of the closest Oni Bunshin, it instantly performed a henge and changed from Naruto into a man, who looked to be in his late 20's, with blood red hair and glowing red slit eyes, his clothes were almost the same as Naruto's, except they were all straight blood red, and on the back of the trench coat was a Kanji for Kyuubi, instead of death.
Kyuubi turned to face Naruto and grinned "Feels good to breath air again. Keep an eye behind you at all times Naruto, have fun. The regular clones are already all training with portions of my consciousness, so you can go do whatever, the clones will take care of everything else" Kyuubi turned
back to the Oni Bunshins, and they all Saluted him, then the group disappeared off into the distance. Naruto turned back to the regular clones, and sure enough every single one of them was doing something, ranging from Taijutsu stances, to sitting and seemingly meditating, and even a few were going through hand seals for jutsu's.
Naruto sighed "Well, it's the best training ever, but now I got nothing to do, guess I'll just go home and catch up on lost sleep, He probably wont have the clones ready to fight for a day or two anyway"
Naruto shrugged off any worries and headed towards his apartment, to his surprise he passed out right as he hit the mattress, he wasn't used to using so much chakra at once, and he wore himself out quicker then he thought.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A few more days passed, and every morning Naruto would go out to the training ground and recreate the huge number of clones, which would automatically start training. It had now been 4 days, and it was his third day in the Academy since he started training, he was going every other day, Monday Wednesday, Friday. Today was Friday, and he was hoping Kyuubi wouldn't make his move today while he was at the academy, but he had a feeling Kyuubi wanted to make a show out of it.
Naruto went through his morning routine of getting dressed, eating food, and going out to the field to recreate all of the clones, he had already learned an incredibly large amount from all his clones, he learned dozens of jutsu's, he had already made great progress with Kyuubi's feral fighting style, he even learned a whole lot about history in general, Shinobi, the world everything, it seemed a multi thousand year old demon had a lot more info then a textbook.
They had all come back from lunch, and Naruto was grateful that Kyuubi hadn't attacked, and he was hoping he wouldn't, but his wishes were dashed completely, as soon as he sat back in his seat he felt like someone was watching him, he knew it could only mean one thing "Aww shit, here they come" He said.
His statement caught pretty much every person in the room off guard, and Iruka asked "Naruto what's going on? First you only show up every other day, who's coming?"
Before Naruto could even answer, they appeared, 8 Oni Bunshin's appeared in the front of the room in a big burst of flames, and they instantly all unleashed a volley of Kunai and Shuriken precisely at Naruto, as to not hit anyone else. Naruto's eyes widened and he jumped up out of his seat and backflipped up through the air, the Kunai and Shuriken all embedded straight into his chair, where his chest was a half second ago.
Naruto growled as he flipped through the air, he flew back at the wall and landed with his feet against the wall, and he instantly rocketed off like a missile at the clone on the far left, he was henged into a Kumo Shinobi. Naruto slammed into the clone and knocked it into the wall, he grabbed it in a headlock before it could react and Naruto threw it out the classroom door, or rather through the classroom door. Naruto turned back to the class quickly "Sorry for the interruption! I'll be back as soon as I can, if they don't kill me, honestly, this is more then I expected!" Naruto dove out the door after the clone, and the other 7 clones, who were also henged into various Shinobi darted after him.
The class all looked between each other, before piling out the door after them, including Iruka. They all ran outside and came across Naruto, surrounded by over 10 Shinobi, all had chuunin vests, but were from different villages.
Naruto looked between the Shinobi and growled "The big man himself didn't even come with? I'm just going to kick all your asses, I'm beyond you now" Suddenly Kyuubi himself appeared, with his fist lodged in Naruto's stomach. The blow sent Naruto flying backwards, through the group of Shinobi, who separated for the blow, Naruto sailed across the yard and smashed into the wall of the school building, smashing in the wall from the impact. Kyuubi smirked at Naruto "Come on! You shouldn't have asked for me to show up! You're good, but not at my level yet"
Naruto dropped from the wall and shook off the impact, and cracked his neck "You're so going down Kyuubi! along with all of your minions!" Naruto's revelation of who was attacking him suddenly made the whole class frightened 'He's fighting the Kyuubi, what the fuck is going on?'
Naruto leaned down a bit and brought his hands into his now favorite seal "Oni Bunshin no Jutsu!" Naruto plowed all the chakra he could into the 15 clones he created, which ended up with 15 clones with about Jounin level chakra, he along with the 15 clones dropped down onto all fours and growled at the group, and Naruto spoke "Lets kick some ass!" All 15 clones, and Naruto tore ass across the yard.
They crossed the distance between them in no time, 10 of the clones each went to face off with the other Oni Bunshins, and the remaining 5 assisted Naruto, and any Bunshin that needed help.
Naruto lashed out at Kyuubi with a right hook of claws, Kyuubi ducked under the blow, but was caught off guard by the sudden contortion Naruto did and lashed out with his left leg, Naruto caught him with the kick in the left side of the ribs, and he pressed hard with his leg and used the momentum to spin around and lash out with his right foot to Kyuubi's head, Kyuubi saw the kick coming and grabbed Naruto's foot and twisted it. A normal person's bone would have snapped right there, but for Naruto it just threw him off balance and sent him into a spin, he threw out his arms to counter balance himself and landed on the ground on both feet and one hand.
The gathered academy students, and teacher were completely astonished by what they were seeing, Naruto was fighting incredibly well against an incredibly powerful opponent, and he was bending and contorting in ways that wanted to make them cringe, and all of his clones were doing similarly in their battles, and were slowly winning with the help of the 5 extra clones.
Naruto growled at Kyuubi "Well I should have figured straight up Taijutsu would be nearly useless, since your a master of it, and I'm not even close yet. But I've still got some tricks" Naruto flashed through a set of hand seals and yelled "Gogyou Dangan no jutsu!" He suddenly spat out three balls of water, which flew straight at Kyuubi, Kyuubi smirked and went to dodge the balls, he didn't hear the clone behind him yell "Raikou Doragan no jutsu!" He also didn't notice the hands that ripped out of the ground and grabbed at his ankles, that is, until it was too late.
Kyuubi went to dodge the balls of water, but found he couldn't move his legs, he looked down and saw the pair of hands coming from the ground "Shit!" He yelled, he bent back at the waist, to a disturbing angle and dodged two of the balls, the last ball caught him straight in the waist and sent him rocketing backwards, out of the clone in the grounds grip, the ball launched the now soaked Kyuubi straight into the Lightning dragon that was racing towards him. Kyuubi suddenly felt millions of volts of electricity coarse through his body, practically cooking him.
The jutsu ended and Kyuubi collapsed to his knees and summoned the remaining clones over to him, they abandoned their fights and grabbed their leader and disappeared in another burst of flames. In the end Naruto's clones had taken out 6 of the Oni Bunshins.
Naruto sighed and collapsed to his knees "God damn, that was tougher then I could have imagined, and we only got 6, but at least I know what those six knew now, their strategies, tactics and skills and jutsus Kyuubi taught them"
Naruto's Oni Bunshin came over to him and looked at him "Do you want us to help you master?"
Naruto shook his head "No, I'll be alright, I just need a few minutes, once I'm back in my seat I'll be alright" The clones nodded and all burst into smoke. Naruto slowly lifted himself to his feet and turned to go back into the class, when he saw everyone standing there, slack jawed looking at him, and Iruka spoke. "Naruto what the hell is going on, what the hell was all of that about? And Kyuubi!?"
Naruto sighed "Sorry about that, that's Kyuubi's idea of training, give me experience by hunting me with a pack of super clones, ambushing me and trying to kill me at any notice. Got 6 of them now though, only 44 to go, counting Kyuubi"
Iruka was stunned "Wait, let me get this straight, as a training exercise, he hunts you down, anywhere you are, at anytime, with a squad of 50 super clones? What exactly is a super clone?"
Naruto smirked "Yeah, you got it. A 'super clone', we actually call them Oni Bunshin, they are pretty much the ultimate Kage Bunshin, they're a Kage bunshin with an extremely large reservoir of chakra, allowing them to stay active for long periods of time, take many hits before dispelling, and they can cast a lot of jutsu's because of their chakra"
Iruka was shocked, Naruto knew a forbidden jutsu? Then again, with a teacher like the Kyuubi, what wouldn't he learn "So just how strong are these Oni Bunshin, and how much chakra do they have?"
Naruto shrugged "They differ depending on how much chakra I give them, but if you go just by their chakra levels, then they range from Genin to almost Kage, if I focused all the chakra into a single clone, it could be above Kage"
Iruka was flabbergasted, along with all the would be genins "Naruto how long have you been training now?"
Naruto grinned "Well, I just started my real training four days ago"
Iruka frowned "How much actual time, like in hours do you think you've spent training?"
Naruto frowned "Umm, give me a minute" Naruto started whipping through calculations in his head, but got stuck, "Sakura, what's thirty-five hundred times twelve?"
Sakura thought for a second, then answered "Umm, I'm pretty sure it's forty-two thousand"
Naruto nodded "Ok, whats that, times four?"
Sakura thought for another moment "Umm, One hundred and sixty-eight thousand"
Naruto nodded "Ok, thanks. I've trained for approximately One hundred and sixty-eight thousand hours then"
Iruka's jaw dropped, then he too whipped through a whole bunch of calulations "Naruto! Thats nineteen years of training, I think you screwed up your math"
Naruto mentally went over his numbers aloud "Hmm, thirty-five hundred clones, for twelve hours a day, over four days, one hundred sixty-eight thousand, divided by twenty four hours in a day, seven thousand, divided by three hundred and sixty-five days in a year, nineteen years. Nope I was right, it is nineteen years though"
Iruka's jaw dropped as Naruto went over his calculations 'He's training with Shadow clones!? And that many! He really did accomplish nineteen years of training in four days, by kami. He's probably already far stronger then me'
"Naruto, that is truly amazing, now lets get back to class before we waste the whole day out here" Everyone shrugged, though they were amazed at Naruto's training. Then they all went back inside to finish up the day without incident.
After the day was out Sarutobi showed up at the school, and surveyed the grounds, and Iruka's classes torn apart door, he stepped inside and Iruka was sitting at his desk, doing some paperwork, he noticed the Hokage and immediately bowed "Hokage-sama! It's good to see you, but I must talk with you"
Sarutobi nodded "In a moment though, I have a question to ask, it was reported that there were multiple repeated, very high chakra spikes here, did something happen?"
Iruka sighed "This is what I wanted to talk about, sort of. Yeah, Naruto was ambushed, by eleven Shinobi, ten chuunins and a jounin" Sarutobi's eyes widened to beyond dinner plates, but Iruka interrupted him "But, they weren't real, they were clones, it was Naruto's...training. He's training with Kyuubi, in some extremely alarming ways"
Sarutobi nodded, as if to say 'continue' "Well, the attack, it was Orchestrated by the Kyuubi, who attacked Naruto in person, according to Naruto the training is to give him experience, so Kyuubi commands an army of about 50 'super clones' called Oni Bunshin, and they stalk and hunt Naruto, and attack and try to kill him at any place or time they see fit, today Kyuubi and 10 clones attacked him at the school, he was able to incapacitate the Kyuubi, and they retreated, he also defeated 6 clones, he says now there's just 44 to go"
Sarutobi smirked "That is an extremely harsh, and extremely useful training exercise indeed, it gives Naruto real world experience in dealing with Ambushes, being tracked, hiding, and combat. Without putting him in any true harm, since Kyuubi would stop if the fight went to out of hand. Is there something else?"
Iruka nodded "Well, yes, his other training, he's training using shadow clones to increase the speed at which he learns"
Sarutobi grinned "Thats ingenious, to use the knowledge gaining aspect in such a way, I wonder how fast he's learning?"
Iruka sighed "Too fast"
Sarutobi gave him a confused look "Nani? How could he train to much?"
Iruka's sigh deepened "He told me how much he's been training. He's been training for 4 days now, and has accomplished over nineteen years of solid training, not like nineteen years worth of whole days, including sleep time, nineteen years of complete non stop training"
Sarutobi gasped, that was an incredibly large amount of time, then he sighed, and Iruka gave him a questioning look "What's wrong?"
Sarutobi looked downcast "If he continues at this rate for the rest of the year, he could potentially become the most powerful person alive, before he even turns 12, he's definitely going to refuse being a genin if I know him like I think I do. Theres nothing I can do about it though, he's not going to stop no matter what I say, all we can really do is leave him to his training I guess"
Iruka sighed "Why couldn't that attack never happen? He would still be his happy go lucky self then"
Sarutobi shook his head "Regardless of what he looked like, Naruto was never really happy. It was just an emotional mask to protect himself, he's probably happier now than ever, being able to protect himself, and get stronger, I just hope he turns out alright"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, after school, more or less all of the girls decided to follow Naruto, when he left he took off at a full sprint towards his training field, and the girls were only able to find him by tracking him with Hinata's byakugan. They watched from a good distance as he checked up on his army of clones, then did a bit of physical training for a while, then headed home, they followed him of course.
As Naruto was walking towards his house three chuunins appeared before him, one of which was Mizuki himself. Naruto smirked "What do you three want?"
Mizuki spat at him "We know you're the one who's been killing all of the villagers that have been turning up demon! We're here to kill you. We'll be hero's when we carry your head around on a pike"
A sadistic smirk crawled across Naruto's face "That's right, I killed them, I killed every single one of those ignorant fools. It's the least I could do after they tried to torture me, and now I'm going to kill all of you too, except I think I'll take a little more pleasure in killing three chuunins. After all, you can defend yourselves...maybe.
The chuunins barred their teeth at him and pulled out Kunai "How dare you, you demonic filth! Kill him!" Mizuki yelled. The first chuunin charged at Naruto with his Kunai raised, and Naruto scoffed "Pathetic, your stance is no better then a common villagers, that, or you underestimate me"
The Chuunin slashed out with the Kunai, Naruto easily ducked under the blade and spun around and sliced the mans arm open with his claws. The chuunin involuntarily dropped his Kunai, Naruto snatched it out of the air and brought it up and parted his entire vest with it, without cutting him in the slightest way, then he slammed the Kunai into the mans chest, jumped up and slammed his foot into the handle, cramming the blade all the way through his chest, it was embedded all the way up to the ring of the handle, and was jabbing out of his back. The blade pierced his heart and the man instantly dropped to the side, dead.
Naruto turned to the second Chuunin "He underestimated me, and he died for it. Come now, and try having some skill about it" The chuunin screamed in anger and flashed through a series of hand seals and yelled "Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu!" He exhaled and a huge ball of flame erupted from his mouth, and headed towards Naruto, who just smirked and ran through his own series of signs and called out "Douton: Tsuchi Supaiku no jutsu!"
A spear of earth shot out of the ground and pierced straight through the jutsu, and into the man behind it, a gurgled scream was heard, and the jutsu died out before it hit Naruto, the fire died and the chuunin could be seen, skewered right through the throat, and out the back. Naruto dropped the jutsu and the body crumpled to the ground as the spike collapsed.
Naruto turned his attention to the last man standing "Mizuki-sensei it's so nice of you to show your true colors, now let me show you your final ones!"
Naruto flashed through a set of hand seals and yelled out the name of his technique "Katon: Karyuu Endan!" Naruto exhaled and a dragon of fire burst from his mouth, it took full form and roared straight at Mizuki, who was frozen in fear, the dragon then suddenly stopped right infront on Mizuki, and winked at him of all things, then burst into nothingness. Before he could even react Naruto flew through the cloud of smoke left by the dragon with two Kunai in hand, and he slammed both Kunai into the eye sockets of Mizuki, piercing straight into his brain. Mizuki didn't even have time to scream.
When all was said and done Naruto reached down and ripped the name plate off of Mizuki's vest, he then walked over to the corpses of the other two Shinobi, and ripped off the name plates from their vests as well. He placed the three plates in his vest pouch, intent on attaching them to his vest later, he would take the nameplates of every Shinobi he killed, and he would make one's for the Shinobi with no plates.
He then turned to the bush where he knew the girls were all hiding in, watching him. He sighed "You know, stalking doesn't work on me, I've known about you all since you showed up at my training field"
The girls all shuffled out of the bush, Naruto was surprised with the number of them, almost every girl was there! They all looked at Naruto slightly fearfully, and Sakura spoke "N-Naruto, you just killed Mizuki-sensei, and two other chuunin"
Naruto shrugged "Yeah, so? They came here out of their way to attack and kill me, so I defended myself" That put the girls at some ease, he was right, was he to be expected to not defend himself if attacked? Sakura had one other question though "You took the name plates from their vests, why?"
Naruto smiled "I'm going to take the name plate of every Shinobi I kill, and attach it to my own vest to honor them, even if they don't deserve to be honored, like these three. And I'll make a plate for those who don't have one, and If I don't know their name, I'll have a special plate for all of them too"
The girls were shocked that he was being so honorable about it, even to three guys who wanted to kill him, and parade his head around on a pike. Naturally, it gave them all fluffy feelings.
Naruto then flipped the table over on them all "Now may I ask why, every girl in the class saw fit to stalk me all day?"
They all suddenly took on sheepish looks and poses, no one wanting to admit they liked him, and Ino, being the smooth talker of the bunch saved them "Well, you're such a mystery, we wanted to see the kind of things you did"
Naruto sighed "You could have just, you know...asked, not like I can hide 3500 blonds from the village for ever anyway, someone would have found out sooner or later"
The girls nodded in agreement, he was right, someone was bound to see them sooner or later, and better sooner rather then later. Naruto turned his back on the girls "Well, I know I've had a fun filled day girls, but it's the weekend now, and I plan to make good use of my time, so I'll see you all on Monday, and not to be rude, but I'd appreciate not seeing you stalking me until then" Naruto then walked away from them, continuing on to his apartment.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto did indeed make good use of the weekend, he managed to attach the three nameplates to his vest, and then added two more, one which had Villagers Scratched into it, under the title it had slash marks in the steel, in the form of tally marks, totaling 14. the second had no title, it just had five tiers, one with a K one with an S one with a J one with a C and one with a G, currently only the C tier had any marks, totaling three.
During the weekend he also was engaged by Kyuubi and his men 3 more times, twice on Saturday and once on Sunday, he did much better in those battles since he wasn't in school and could go at it much more violently, not to mention he knew the tactics Kyuubi had taught the clones. Now Kyuubi was down to only 23 clones, counting himself.
Naruto walked in the classroom, purposefully the last person in, to give everyone time to sit, but not quite late. He strutted across the room proudly, displaying the nameplates, and record plates on his vest, of course the plates were noticed and one of the guys asked(The girls all already know) "Yo, Naruto what's with the nameplates on your vest, and one of them is Mizuki-sensei's, and whats K,S,J,C,G supposed to stand for on that other one, and shit while we're at it, what the hell is with all the plates?"
Naruto grinned and gestured to the nameplates "These are the nameplates of Shinobi I've killed, I add them to my vest to honor them, whether they deserve it or not, Mizuki for example, is a traitorous piece of shit, but I will still honor his name as a Shinobi"
Whispers ripped through the male population of the class "You killed Mizuki-sensei?" was finally asked
Naruto nodded "Yep, he and two other chuunin decided to 'kill the demon' on Friday night after I finished training, to bad for them they all sucked. Anyway, back to my plates, The letters K,S,J,C,G. They all stand for Shinobi ranks, and it's to keep track of how many I've killed, no genin, 3 chuunin, no jounin, no S-rank criminals, no Kages. And finally this plate over here" he said while gesturing to the 'villagers' plate "Is to keep track of how many villagers I've killed after they tried to attack me, 14 so far"
They were shocked, he'd killed 17 people already? And to keep track in such detail, was pretty scary. Naruto noticed the freaked looks and nodded to himself "Right, I can see I'm giving off a 'creep' vibe, I'll sit down now"
It had to be asked though, and it was "Why keep track, isn't just killing them bad enough? Why keep track of every person?"
Naruto sighed "I can't expect you all to understand me, we're eleven, how many of you have wanted to kill someone before?" Naruto wasn't surprised when no one, except Sasuke raised his hand, Naruto quirked an eyebrow "Sasuke, you want to kill someone, who? And since what age?"
Sasuke narrowed his eyes at the blond "My brother, since I was eight, when he slaughtered my family" The fan girls swooped in to help the hurt Uchiha, who brushed them away, Naruto merely nodded "Well, at least you have a well founded reason to want to kill people"
Naruto took a deep breath and sighed "I've been wanting to kill people since I was four" Pretty much every person in the room gasped, and the needed question was once again asked "What, why would you want to kill someone at such a young age?"
Naruto sighed again, and a single tear fell from his glowing eyes "The first time I was attacked, it wasn't just me who was attacked, it was the first, and only person to ever show concern for me. Her name was Yumi, She treated me like a little brother, always helping me when villagers refused me things or yelled at me."
"They tortured and killed her right before my eyes, they burned her to death for being my 'demon whore' then they went on to torture me, then leave me tied to a post to look at her burned body as I slowly bled to death. I've wanted to kill the people that did that to her since that day, But I've forgotten who they were since then, if I ever manage to remember them, I will do all what they did to an innocent girl, ten times over and more" By the end of his speech Naruto had clenched his fists so hard blood was leaking from his hands onto the floor, and he was radiating so much chakra and killing intent, he probably would have killed anything within 5 feet of him.
He noticed what he was doing and instantly stopped "Sorry, I got absorbed in the memories" he quickly dropped into his seat, and couldn't focus the tiniest bit, horrid memories continued to play through his mind, torturing him over and over again. Eventually he couldn't take it anymore, and in an act that startled everyone, he whipped his head up from his arms and screamed out "STOP IT DAMNIT!" and smashed his head into the wall next to his desk and collapsed on his desk, into blissful dreamless unconsciousness.
Naruto woke up from his unconsciousness a few hours later, still in the academy, though everyone was gone, he looked up and saw Iruka sitting at his desk, writing away on some paper. Naruto groaned and sat up, instantly catching Iruka's attention. "Naruto, are you ok? You scared us all pretty good back there, you smashed your head into the wall then collapsed, and you never woke up, that was over 6 hours ago. What happened?"
Naruto sighed and held his head "The memories, they wouldn't stop coming, I had to make them stop"
Iruka couldn't fathom the kind of nightmares Naruto had to deal with when his memories chose to come out of hiding, "I'm sorry Naruto. You should go home and get some rest"
Naruto nodded and stood up "Yeah, I guess your right, guess I'll see you around then"
Iruka nodded and smiled "See you tomorrow Naruto"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The year flew by in no time flat, and Naruto made progress beyond belief, he ended up defeating Kyuubi and his clones, he did it in one big swoop, he ambushed Kyuubi's ambush, and took out all of the clones and Kyuubi himself, he had made unfathomable progress in his training, it would seem that about thirty five hundred years of training can do a pretty good amount of help. Naruto continued to get 'attacked' by villagers and Shinobi alike for a few more months, before they all realized everyone that attacked him died. Naruto's villager count now topped at 73, and his vest had 7 more Shinobi plates, totaling ten. He even got a Jounin, stupid fool underestimated him like all the rest, it was his last mistake.
It was now the final few days of the Academy before the graduation exams, and Naruto didn't want to be a genin. Sure he liked the kids in the academy, they accepted him, but Naruto worked best alone, or with 15 of himself. So here he was, standing before the Hokages office door. He knocked, and Sarutobi called for him to come in, so he did.
Naruto walked into Sarutobi's office and walked right up to his desk and sat down in the chair before it.
Sarutobi looked right into his eyes, he had a pretty good idea of what Naruto wanted, there was only one reason to visit him just before the graduation exams. "Jiji, I don't want to be a genin. What would it take for you to make me a Jounin?"
Sarutobi rubbed his temples 'Bingo, right on the money' "Naruto, I know the training you've been doing, I know you're incredibly strong, but I can't just make you a Jounin without even graduating from the Academy, You have no mission experience, and how would I explain making an academy student a Jounin? Plus, you have no experience working with anyone except your clones, all of Konoha is based upon teamwork"
Naruto sighed, he knew this would be a challenge "You explain the promotion quite simply, I'm capable of being a Jounin, therefore I am one, I know I don't have any teamwork experience, and I don't really want any, I know it sounds harsh but I'm far above everyone's level, working on a team at this point would only horribly hinder me and my skills, as a Jounin I could actually help the village. Take out dangerous targets, you know, Shinobi stuff, not weeding gardens, and all the other glorious D-ranks."
Sarutobi sighed, he certainly was making this difficult "Naruto, I just can't make you straight into a Jounin, the council would have a heart attack. You don't even have any official Shinobi experience"
Naruto growled slightly, he was going to have to compromise "Fine, I'll make a deal then, you give me an extremely difficult mission when it appears, for now I'll be a damn genin. If I can complete the mission, you make me a Jounin. How's that sound?"
Damn! By taking that route Sarutobi couldn't even say no, and if he showed the capability to complete the mission, then he would have no reason not to promote him. "Fine, When a difficult mission shows up, I'll assign it to you"
Naruto nodded and smiled and got up and left, but turned back around right as he got to the door "Oh, don't put me on the same team as the Uchiha if you want him to stay alive. I swear I'll kill the broody bastard if I'm stuck around him on a team" Sarutobi chuckled and nodded, there was no need for the last Uchiha to die.
Naruto left the office and headed out to 'the field of demons' as it had come to be known by the villagers. Naruto had almost died laughing the first time he heard the name they dubbed his training field, he did his usual of run around and see what the clones were all up to, then he did physical training until he was dead exhausted.
Naruto spent the last few days until the exams almost the exact same way, just thinking of what the dangerous mission might be that Sarutobi would be sending him on, and he hoped to god he was doing it alone.
It was the day of the exams, Naruto was both deathly depressed, and incredibly excited, and it annoyed him to no end. He was depressed that he was getting stuck with a couple genins for god knows how long, yet was excited at the same time to see what their true skills might be, and of course to find out what his first real mission would be like.
Naruto sat in the classroom, first as always, as it became his custom after a short time, the classroom slowly started to fill with groggy genin-would bes. After a short time everyone was there and Iruka started,
"You've all done fantastically in your last year here in the academy, you've come so far since you first started, and you've all made me proud, todays the day for you to finally show what you've learned, and what your capable of. Today is the final exams, You will each be called one by one to come over into this side room and you will be tested on your skills, based on how well you perform, you will either pass and get your hitai-ite, or you will fail and will have to take this year over again. I'm proud of all of you, now show me what you can do! First up, Shino Aburame"
Naruto frowned "Alphabetical order? Damn" He dropped his head onto his arms and closed his eyes while waiting for his name to be called. It took a while, but it finally came "Naruto Uzumaki, come take your test" Naruto slowly rose from his seat and smirked, this was going to be so easy.
He entered the room and Iruka sat at a desk, next to another instructor Naruto didn't recognize, Naruto quirked an eyebrow at the chuunin and Iruka answered the unasked question "He's here as a second set of eyes, to catch anything I may miss, and to stop any possibilities of favoritism or discrimination" Naruto nodded at the chuunin "Ok, lets get this stupid shit over with" Iruka frowned "What's wrong Naruto? Aren't you happy to finally be graduating?"
Naruto sighed "Not really, no not at all. The Hokage refused my request to skip genin and chuunin, he wont promote me to Jounin until an extremely dangerous mission comes up, he'll send me on it, if I can complete it, then he'll promote me"
Iruka's eyes widened "Isn't that good then? That means you could be a Jounin in no time"
Naruto shook his head "Not really, I don't need, or want to be on a team with a couple of genin, I don't like working with others, especially those incredibly weaker then me, they'll be a liability, not a lifeline"
Iruka sighed, he knew of Naruto's skills, and he knew he was completely right, he also knew it had to be done. "Well, we can't change anything about it, so lets begin. First would you please Kawarimi into something in this room?"
Naruto sighed and disappeared, to be replaced with the second chuunin, he then switched back. Both chuunins were flabbergasted, it took a great deal of time to replace yourself with another person, and he even did it without hand signs, or saying the name! "That was incredibly good Naruto, though I expected no less from you, would you please Henge into someone now, anyone from the village"
Naruto thought for a second and was covered with a plume of smoke, it cleared to show a barely different Naruto, yet he was someone entirely else. His eyes were back to their normal look, his whisker marks were gone, his teeth back to normal, and his hair was longer. His outfit changed to that of the fourth hokages. Iruka and the other chuunin were again surprised by the lack of hand signs, or jutsu name, but were much more surprised in the almost identical looks of Naruto and the fourth Hokage "Naruto, did you know you look almost exactly like the fourth did?" Iruka asked
Naruto, as the fourth nodded "Yeah, it's why I chose him, would be the easiest"
Iruka sighed "Ok, last but not least, could you please make 2-5 bunshins of yourself?"
Naruto smirked, he was actually proud of this feat, 10 Kage bunshins appeared around him, all with weapons drawn in combat stances. All 10 clones then disappeared in smoke, and Iruka and the other chuunin gapped like fish "You're able to use the Kage Bunshin without hand signs, or saying the name?"
Naruto smirked "Yeah, worked on it long enough and I was able to learn a lot of jutsu's to the point of not needing either hand signs or verbal announcements, incredibly useful for stealth applications, since there's no noise, except from anything the jutsu might create, and no chakra spike from molding the chakra, except from the jutsu going off"
Iruka and the other chuunin collected themselves and nodded "Very well Naruto, I expected no less. Congratulations, you are now a genin of Konoha, here is your hitai-ite" Naruto took the headband and left the room.
He walked across the classroom and sat at his desk, and took the hitai-ite and held it in his hands before him. He looked at his reflection on the polished steel, and was suddenly plaqued with renewed thoughts of his past and future, 'I'm an official Shinobi now, should I stop attacking villagers and Shinobi if they attack me now? I could technically get removed from duty, or even executed, I bet the council would jump at a chance to kill me. And my genin team...what if it takes longer then I thought to get my real mission, and I get...attached?'
Kyuubi sighed in his mind 'Your putting to much thought into it, they have been able to attack, and try to murder you in cold blood, you should continue to defend yourself whenever you need to. So what if you get attached to the genin? Do what you want to, stick around with them for a while, honestly you over think things way to much'
Naruto felt the stress lift from him, somehow, even though they were simplistic, Kyuubi's explanations calmed him down, maybe it was just the fact that he had contact to someone that did it, either way, it helped. Naruto took the hitai-ite and jammed it in his pocket, a moment later Iruka walked back into the classroom, along with the last person to take the test, who was smiling with a hitai-ite on their forehead.
Iruka walked to the front of the class and cleared his throat, instantly gathering the attention of all the now genins in the room "Congratulations to you all on passing the test, I will now announce the teams you've all been placed on, and who your Jounin sensei will be"
Iruka picked up a clipboard from his desk and flipped through a couple pages and stopped "First up we have Team 7, Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, and..." he flipped another page "Shino Aburame. Your Jounin sensei will be Hatake Kakashi" Sakura frowned about not being with Naruto, but was happy with the runner up, Uchiha.
"Next up is Team 8, Hinata Hyuuga, Kiba Inuzuka, and Naruto Uzumaki. Your Jounin sensei will be Yuuhi Kurenai" A large majority of the girls broke out into either anime tears, or death glares aimed at Hinata.
Iruka continued on, with team 10 remaining the same, and Team 9 still being in rotation from last year. Iruka made one final comment to the class before leaving the building "Your Jounin sensei's should all be here within an hour, good luck on your Shinobi careers"
Within fifteen minutes Kurenai showed up first among the senseis "Team 8? meet me at training ground thirteen in 20 minutes please" She then disappeared in a swirl of leaves. Naruto grinned 'at least she's as hot as can be' Naruto disappeared from his seat in a whirlwind of fire.
Kurenai was, more then slightly stunned when Naruto appeared not 5 seconds after her, in a swirl of fire no less! "What was that? And how do you know it?" she asked
Naruto grinned "You must be relatively new huh?"
Kurenai furrowed her eyebrows but nodded "Yes, I was just promoted to Jounin a few weeks ago"
Naruto's grin widened "Great, maybe we'll get to go on some missions together at some point, you seem nice enough, Names Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki by the way" he said, sticking his hand out at the end.
Kurenai quirked an eyebrow at the boy "I'm your sensei now, we're going to be having all of our missions together"
Naruto's grin changed to a slightly evil smirk "Well, your Hinata and Kiba's sensei, not mine. No offense but I don't consider you my superior, more of an equal really, if luck is with me I'll be a Jounin in under a few weeks, unless Jiji is toying with me, if he is oh damn he better watch out"
Kurenai chuckled "It takes a long time to achieve Jounin, and who's Jiji?"
Naruto's smirk stayed put and he answered "I should be a Jounin by now, only reason I'm not is politics, and Jiji is the Hokage"
Kurenai's eyes widened slightly "Your supposed to be a Jounin? Not to be mean, but you just got out of the academy, sure you're...older looking then the rest, but you still are weak compared to more experienced Shinobi"
Naruto sighed "You all make the same fatal mistake. You see these various plates on my vest Kurenai?"
Kurenai looked closely at his vest for the first time and looked at the plates. Villagers-73. K-0, S-0, J-1, C-9, G-0. And 10 Shinobi nameplates with various names. "What are those?"
Naruto smirked again "Those are the people I've killed so far. 73 villagers, no Kages, no S-rank criminals, one Jounin, nine Chuunin, no genin, and the 10 nameplates of the Shinobi"
Kurenai's eyes widened and she stifled a gasp "You've killed 83 people from your own village? What's wrong with you!?"
Naruto sighed "Do you know anything about your students yet? Like for example, who I am?"
Kurenai looked shameful "Honestly, no. I just found out I was going to be a sensei two days ago, I never even got a chance to find out your names. So, who are you?"
Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly "As I said, Naruto Uzumaki, though I'm much more famously known as The Demon child, Demon scum, Hell spawn, and the various other creative names"
Kurenai's eyes widened "So, your him. Why did you kill all those people though? What did they do to deserve it? All you do is make them believe their ignorant rumors"
Naruto narrowed his eyes "What did they do? The question to ask Kurenai is, what didn't they do to deserve it? Every single person I've killed deserved it, if not more"
Kurenai's eyes widened, "What exactly did they do to deserve it then?"
Naruto sighed "Kurenai, your eyes, they're very beautiful you know, how exactly would you feel if someone slowly gouged out your beautiful eyes with a Kunai?"
Kurenai took an involuntary step back "I would probably die, why do you ask me this?"
Naruto narrowed his eyes at the memory "Because, I know exactly what I just described to you feels like. Last October 10th, my last birthday I was attacked by a mob of villagers with various weapons, once they cut me all over and broke all my limbs they dragged my down an alley and threw me into a brick wall, then they took my head and smashed it over and over into the wall, until my skull cracked, they gashed my cheek incredibly deeply, and then went to gouge out my eyes with a Kunai. When they were finished they took that same Kunai and rammed it into my stomach, then broke a few of my ribs, then left me to die. Now tell me, do you think the people who did that deserve to die?"
Before she could even think about her answer, her body nodded for her "But, you said they gouged out your eyes, and gashed your cheek, yet here you stand, with eyes and no scar"
Naruto lifted his head and looked up into the sky "The only reason I'm still a Shinobi at all, is because I made a deal with the Kyuubi, to get back my eyes, and he also made my body as you see it today, bigger, taller, stronger, faster, better"
Kurenai was suddenly overwhelmed with pity for him "I-I'm sorry"
Naruto growled slightly "Don't be, don't pity me, I don't want your pity. Yes they did horrible things to me my whole life, yes it was horrible, yes they changed me, but theres only one thing I would ever undo in my life if I could. If none of this ever happened to me, I wouldn't be as strong as I am, at least now, I'm powerful, I'm even feared by the villagers now, and they don't attack me anymore."
"They know anyone who attacks me, dies. If you were wondering, that's why I've killed those 83 people, they were 83 people who were stupid enough to attack me, then made the same mistake you made and underestimated me, even the Jounin underestimated me, after knowing I killed 3 Chuunins at once, though underestimation was there problem, even if they knew what to expect they would have died, no one in the village can match my power now, only Jiji could give me a good fight, and even then, in his old age he would lose too"
Before Kurenai could comment, Hinata and Kiba showed up, and Kiba yelled at Naruto. "Oi, Naruto you didn't have to be a big show off or nothing, shit you could have at least given us a ride!"
Naruto smirked "A little exercise never did any harm Kiba, and using my abilities to make life easier isn't showing off, it's living, you use what you learn to make life better, easier. Maybe one day you'll learn something, and you'll know what I mean"
Kiba sighed "Yeah you're probably right, hey! That was a jab at me!"
Naruto chuckled "Look at that you did learn something! You've never noticed my jabs at you before"
Kiba narrowed his eyes at Naruto "Jerk"
Kurenai, who was laughing on the inside from Naruto's joke of Kiba stopped them "Alright, alright, you all seem to know each other pretty well, how about we do some proper introductions, like your name, likes, dislikes, hobbies, talents, dreams, etc."
Hinata poked her fingers together, in her shy, cute manner "Umm, Could you go first Kurenai-sensei? We don't know anything about you"
Kurenai nodded "Ok. My name is Yuuhi Kurenai, I like tea and good plays, I dislike sexists and all forms of prejudice. My hobbies are to drink different teas, and well watch plays. Talents? I've been told I can cut a rug on the dance floor. My dream, is to become the best Genjutsu mistress in the world. OK you go now" She said, pointing to Hinata in the end.
"Ok. Umm, M-My name is Hinata H-Hyuuga. I like tea too, and I like to press flowers and draw. I don't l-like ignorant people, or mean people. My h-hobbies are, drawing and..well pressing flowers. My sister says I draw really well, so I guess that's my talent. My dream is to make the branch and main families of my family one again."
Kurenai nodded 'She's certainly interesting, noble but shy, not a great combination unfortunately.' "OK, you're up" she said while pointing to Kiba.
Kiba smirked "My names Kiba Inuzuka! I like playing with my dog, and you sens-ouch!" Kurenai smacked him in the head. "-Right, I don't like that Uchiha prick, or people who don't like dogs. My hobbies are pranking my sister, and training with my dog. I don't know if I have any talents, and my dream is become head of my clan, and to be a powerful Shinobi!" he finished, recovering from the smack to the head.
Kurenai nodded again 'Gonna have to break him off that flirty bit, especially with me. Does he know I'm way to old for him?' "Right, you're up last" She said, pointing to Naruto
Naruto sighed, and cracked his knuckles viciously "My names Naruto Uzumaki, or 'The Demon' if your a villager. I like...I don't know. I detest being a genin, along with most of the villagers. Hobbies? Training, or fighting I guess. Talents, Killing I suppose, if it counts. My dream, it used to be Hokage, now...I'm going to be the most powerful person alive"
Kurenai sighed, Naruto was going to be a tough one "Right, theres one last test before you can truly become genin, a certain given by the Jounin of the squad, to see if the group is ready to be genin, the graduation exam was to see if you were capable. I'm going to give you a choice, you can take my test today, and get it done soon, or you can go home, rest get ready and take it tomorrow"
Naruto shrugged, 'can't be that hard, they're only genin' "Take it today, get this over with" Kiba nodded in agreement, and Hinata just followed along.
Kurenai nodded "Very well, I'll be back with everything I need for the test in about 30 minutes, you have until then to plan and get ready for anything" she then disappeared in a swirl of leaves.
Naruto sat back and laid back in the grass, and Kiba walked over and looked down at him "What are you doing? We should be getting ready, she's a Jounin"
Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly "You're in my sun, and correction, she's only a Jounin, and she specializes in genjustu, I'm her worst nightmare, 90 percent of genjutsus pray on a person's fears, I don't fear anything, and if it's a genjutsu of the other 10 percent, I can stop it without a problem. So all you guys have to do, is sit back and relax, I'll take care of it"
Hinata stepped over "B-But Naruto, we're on a team for a reason, we're probably supposed to work together"
Naruto sighed "Sorry, I work alone, I've trained by myself forever, I don't have anything I could use with you guys, plus not to be mean, but you're way below my level, everyone is"
Kiba glared at Naruto at being considered beneath him, but he knew it was true, hell they'd all seen his fight with Kyuubi and the clones at the beginning of the year, "So, what's your plan then? Maybe we could at least, I don't know help set it up"
Naruto shifted into a more relaxed position "My plan is to kick her ass at whatever we have to, combat, tracking, genjutsu, anything"
Kiba and Hinata both sighed in defeat, he was making this extremely difficult, they resigned themselves to Naruto's plan and both sat down in the grass to await Kurenai's return.
