Yo guys! Time for shout outs!

CaribbeanTrinidadian- You bet! But it will be soon. I'm not gonna rush things. Or am I? They don't know yet. But they will react. Yeah! But it seems Musubi is more like Naruto, Len like her and Taiken like Sasuke. I'm very happy you are enjoying the story.

Kyuubifan1000- You think so? Great!

Crazywolf1991- I'm glad you watched them! It helps to understand them.

Gold Testament- Yup. You hit it dead on.

Animaman- Naruto knew it was gonna happen but he wanted to give an impression like Kakashi. You know of being late and falling for the trick? Yes I know. But Sasuke is the decedent of Madara who is the decedent of the sage. And Naruto is the decedent of Harashima who is also the decedent of the sage. So to me it works. About Karin, I don't really know. That was what I was aiming for but I really don't care about her. But I will try.

Luckybro1029- Glad you like it!

Airnaruto45- yeah I know but I couldn't really do that then wouldn't that make it an official cross over? I mean if I put kid and soul and black star then it would be a Naruto/Soul eater/ Sekirei/Shaman king cross over. I'll think about it but I'm not making any promises.

Alright people! Time for the chapter!

Chapter 8: The three tests

The jonin of Rookie 9 who was well basically all of Rookie 9 were sitting down in Naruto's huge living room.

"So how are you guys is brats?" Kiba asked. "Well my team is basically team 7 all over again." Sakura sighed. "Oh? So are you saying you got a brooding kid like Sasuke?" Kiba smirked. "Yeah his name is Taiken Soken." Sakura said.

"Oh him hunh?" Kiba rolled his eyes. "What's wrong Kiba?" Ino asked. "If he's who I think your talking about he is way more emo than Sasuke was." Kiba sighed. "What do you mean more emo dog boy?" Sasuke asked sitting down next to his girlfriend handing her some soda. Naruto following suit.

"Well apparently my mom says the Soken are a powerful clan with a great bloodline limit. Apparently Taiken's family took refuge from the anbu in Iwa. His brother and sister killed his parent's right in front of him just to earn a bounty on their head. Taiken doesn't have a bounty because he was born in Konoha." Kiba explained.

"I still don't understand how he is better than Sasuke." Hinata said. "Well, his bloodline limit is not just one but three. That's what makes his clan so special. For example if Sasuke and Hinata got together their kid can't have the Byakugan and Sharingan. It would one either cancel each other out. 2 make the child go blind or 3 make them go crazy." Kiba informed.

"If that's true how is it his clan is able to have more than one?" Shikamaru asked. "It's most likely a kekkai genkai. It must be really rare." Sasuke shrugged. "Yeah most likely. But if I'm not mistaken his clan was able to have an Uchiha in it. It would probably mean he would activate the Sharingan." Kiba said making Sasuke's eyes go wide.

"Well Kiba you still haven't told us why he's better than Sasuke. You only told us of his clan." Naruto said. "Oh right! Well it's rumored he can use ice release not to mention, others." Kiba said.

"Ice style? Wasn't haku able to use ice jutsu?" Sakura asked. "Yeah. But who cares. You'll find out soon." Naruto shrugged. "So Naruto, I heard you mention your bloodline limit to lady Tsunade earlier. I didn't know you had one." Shikamaru mentioned.

"Hmm? Oh. Um well…let's see…" Naruto got into a thinking pose when a fire ball appeared on the side of the couch. "You stupid kit. You forgot already about it?" Kyuubi scolded. "Oh hey baka fox. Well since your so smart why don't you tell everyone hmm?" Naruto mocked.

Kyuubi rolled his eyes. "Fine. I'll tell your friends and mate about the bloodline limit. Listen closely. Once these two get intimate a fox seal will appear on their necks, like a tattoo. It means these two are linked with each other and are mates." Kyuubi explained.

"Linked? Linked how?" Ino asked. "It means Sakura can feel kits emotions and he can feel hers. It also means they share each others pain. For example if kit gets angry or depressed Sakura will feel it. She can also send a wave of calmness to him. Naruto will be able to do the same." Kyuubi said. "Is that all?" Shikamaru wondered. "No. They can share thoughts with each other if they are within range. And that's just the fox seal." Kyuubi smirked.

Sakura was doing her best trying to understand it all but she just kept thinking 'MATE? WE ARE GONNA BE MATES! THAT MEANS MARRIAGE! I CAN'T WAIT! LET'S JUMP WHEN EVERYONE LEAVES!' Inner Sakura jumped and screamed with joy.

"There's more?" Kiba asked. "Yes. If Naruto has kits of his own they will have a summoning contract with foxes and myself. Also they will be able to call upon my chakra without being hurt. Naruto can go up to 6 tails right now. There is no doubt that he will be able to reach 9 in the next 2 years.

Sakura will also be able to summon me. And she can only go into fox mode, when the seal appears that is. And one more thing. Once the seal appears you will be able to turn into foxes. The number of tails you can master will be the number of tails you have when you transform. Now do you understand?" Kurama asked Naruto.

"I've known. I just didn't feel like explaining so I pretended not to remember." Naruto smirked with a shrug. Kyuubi growled before burning into a fire ball.

"Well that was good information." Ino smirked. "Whatever it is what it is. Anyway Ino how are you kids?" Naruto asked. "Where am to begin. I have this girl name Tsukiumi Sahashi and she…" "Wait! Did you say Sahashi?" Sakura demanded. "Uh yeah why?" Ino asked confused. "Because my student Musubi said her last name was Sahashi. Did she say anything about and Ashikabi?" Sakura asked.

"Now that I think about yeah! She said her Ashikabi is Minato Sahashi. Do you think Musubi and Tsukiumi are related?" Ino wondered. "No." Naruto answered nonchalantly. "No? How do you know smart guy?" Ino challenged.

"Because Ino, I was nearly someone's Ashikabi. When she kissed me she thought she would be winged but nothing happened." Naruto explained. "Wait when were you kissed? And by who?" Inner and outer Sakura demanded.

Naruto paled a bit looking at a demonic looking Sakura fury in her eyes. "Um on my training trip." Naruto scratched his head sheepishly. "So tell us dope how do you know about them?" Sasuke asked. "Yeah Naruto tell us!" Kiba ordered. Naruto sighed inwardly cursing.

"Alright. Your students Tsukiumi and Musubi are part of one big clan all over the world. We so happen to have a few Sekirei in the village. But I know some Sekirei in Kumo. Hikibi and Hikari…" "Wait Sekirei?" Ino asked confused.

"Yeah. Musubi's real name is Musubi Sekirei #88. And Tsukiumi is Tsukiumi Sekirei #9. Each Sekirei has a number. From 1 to 100. Each Sekirei is born to find their Ashikabi and fight the others so they could live forever with their Ashikabi. The Sekirei has no other choice but do whatever their Ashikabi says.

The Sekirei clan is in a tournament, that's why they have to fight. Their can only be one Sekirei left. If the Ashikabi has more than one Sekirei then they will all live together then. It seems this Minato Sahashi has more than one Sekirei." Naruto explained.

Everyone just looked at him processing all this information. "So who was this Sekirei that kissed you?" Sasuke smirked. Naruto glared at him. "Yes Naruto-kun who is this girl who kissed you?" Sakura asked darkly. "Um, her name was Kazehana. She is almost exactly like Baa-chan. being in love with Sake and all." Naruto said.

Sakura just huffed while Ino was still processing the information. "Well that is…useful." Ino said. After awhile everyone went home except for Sakura which didn't go unnoticed. "Your not going home Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked hanging up his jacket.

"Umm actually Naruto-kun I was wondering if I could um…stay with you?" Sakura asked nervous. Naruto looked at her confused before grinning from ear to ear. "Of course Sakura-chan! I have no problem with that!" Naruto grinned making Sakura feel much better. "Thanks Naruto-kun." Sakura smiled before getting enveloped in a strong passionate kiss.

"Sakura-chan, I just want to let you know I love you. And I will do anything to make you happy." Naruto kissed her forehead. "Anything?" Sakura breathed. Naruto nodded. "Well then you can prove it." Sakura grinned leading him into the bedroom and shutting the door.

Sakura woke up the next morning lying on top of Naruto's bare chest. She blinked a few times to try and remember what happened. She tried getting up but felt pain on the left side of her neck. She rolled off Naruto and put her hand to her neck.

She felt her skin but something seemed…off. Shaking it off she slipped out the covers and noticed she was totally naked. "Wow what a view." A voice behind her smirked. "Pervert." Sakura muttered. "Yeah but I'm your pervert remember?" Naruto teased. Sakura rolled her eyes before throwing on a robe and lay back down on the bed.

"Naruto-kun is there something on my neck?" Sakura wondered. Naruto looked at her neck and his eyes widened. "Sakura-chan! You have a tattoo!" Naruto gawked. "What?" Sakura asked. Naruto handed her a mirror and showed her neck to her. "Is that a fox?" Sakura asked. "Looks like two foxes to me." Naruto counted.

'It means you two have mated.' Kyuubi replied mentally and Sakura was able to hear him. "Kyuubi? How can I hear you?" Sakura asked. 'The seal. Since I still reside in Naruto when I want to sleep you can hear me when I'm talking to him mentally. The seal is you and Naruto. Kit is the blonde fox and you are the pink fox. Naruto has a fox seal on neck too.' Kyuubi explained.

"So were mates now?" Naruto asked. 'Baka! That's what mating means! I swear you can be a real idiot sometimes.' Kyuubi scolded. "So if we have the seal that means we can do the emotion thing right?" Sakura asked. 'Yes. Also transform to foxes. You two are now mates forever. Even in death.' Kyuubi smirked.

"That's cool. Well we better get dressed. Were already 3 hours late." Naruto smirked. Sakura nodded with a smile. The two got dressed and headed towards the training fields.

"My god! What's taking Naruto-sensei so long?" Soren groaned. "Why does he have to be so late?" Maka huffed. Yusuke was sitting in a tree sleep not caring about anything else. He immediately woke up when he fell out the tree. "HEY WHAT THE HELL NARUTO?" Yusuke cursed.

Naruto was standing upside down on the tree branch grinning. "That's Naruto-sensei to you. Now le…" "YOU'RE LATE!" Soren and Maka pointed. "Sorry I saw a black cat and had to take the long way." Naruto scratched his head using Kakashi's excuse.

The three genin calmed down but still wore scowls on their faces. "Anyway as I was saying were gonna start your test." Naruto held up the two bells and pointed to the alarm clock on a wooden stump. "You have until noon to take these bells. If you don't you won't have any lunch and I will eat mine in front of you. Got it?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah but sensei what are supposed to do to get them? Can we use any weapon?" Maka asked. "Yeah. You must come at me to kill or you won't get the bells. Ready? Begin!" Naruto ordered.

The three genin separated in 3 different directions. 'Alright. Let's see how they do.'

Sakura was standing in front of her team. None of them pointed out their tardy in fact it seemed they just got here themselves. Musubi was grinning from ear to ear eager to start. Len was wearing something totally different from what he wore yesterday.

He wore black pants and a black vest both have a triangular pattern with yellow lining, his pants tied with a white silk belt. The vest also had an opening in the back outlining his Tao tattoo.

Taiken however didn't change his look. He wore a glare but it was softened when he saw Sakura smile at him that reminded him of his sister when he was little and still had a family.

"Alright like I said I will be testing your teamwork and one on one ability. First we'll start with one on one. Since Musubi is itching to fight she'll go first." Sakura smiled. Musubi shrieked with joy. The young girl got into a fighting position ready to begin.

"Alright. Begin!"

Sasuke dodged Juugo's fist with little difficulty as Suigetsu charged at Sasuke with his arm as a sword. 'Is this a kekkai genkai?' Sasuke wondered before flipping back dodging Suigetsu and Juugo's combined kick.

"Hey Karin! Are you ready?" Suigetsu asked. "Shut up! It's almost done." Karin replied. Suigetsu rolled his eyes before making both his arms buffer. "Hey Ju, I'm gonna throw ya okay?" Suigetsu grinned. Juugo nodded before being swung and chucked by his best friend.

Juugo glared his fist becoming big and spiky. Sasuke narrowed his eyes at that color. Juugo cocked his hand back and struck the ground causing Sasuke to stumble giving the white haired boy the perfect chance.

"Karin!" Suigetsu called. "I Know!" Karin growled before running at Sasuke kneeing his gut then punching him with a barrage of fists. Her last attack was slapping an exploding tag on his face and kicking him away with a bang.

"Man that was tiring. I need a drink of water." Suigetsu groaned drinking his water from his holster. All of sudden Suigetsu and Juugo heard a scream and saw Karin being held hostage by Sasuke's sword. "What the hell?" Suigetsu spit out his water.

"Juugo, Kill Suigetsu or Karin dies." Sasuke glared. Juugo tensed looking between a scared Karin and a shocked Suigetsu. "Do it!' Sasuke barked holding the sword closer to Karin's throat.

Juugo sighed before turning to Suigetsu. "Ju, you can't be serious. WERE BEST FRIENDS!" Suigetsu yelled looking into Juugo's emotionless eyes. But really Juugo was trying to remember what happened before all this.

Flashback

Suigetsu just got his face smashed in from Karin's fist. "Next time you say something like that… I really will kill you!" Karin warned leaping back while Suigetsu's face reformed dripping. "Ooh did I hit a nerve?" Suigetsu smirked before dodging Juugo's fist.

"You guys are both trying to kill me?" Suigetsu asked. "No. just gets the bell." Juugo said. "Why? Cuz Sasuke-sensei said so?" Suigetsu asked. "Of course! Sensei told us too!" Karin glared. Suigetsu sighed scratching his head. "Man, you guys need to break some rules." Suigetsu said. "What do you mean?" Juugo asked.

"Why would they put us on a 3 man team and sensei would make us fight each other? There's no point in making a 3 man squad if 2 of us are going back and one of us stays. We need to use teamwork. If you check your bells they don't even ring do they?" Suigetsu stated. Karin held her bell and shook it. And just like the boy said it made no sound.

"We've been put under a genjutsu. I bet sensei has the real bells. This is no one for all match this is all for one. We need teamwork." Suigetsu said looking at Karin. "Meaning we need to trust each other."

End flashback

Juugo opened his eyes and spun around throwing kunai at Sasuke who leaped away leaving Karin. "I read in a book that the Yondaime hokage said. 'A ninja who abandons the mission is trash. But a ninja who abandons their friends is lower than that.' I believe that our next hokage says right sensei?" Juugo smirked.

Sasuke sheathed his sword and looked at the three genin. He smiled as he realized Karin and Suigetsu each held a bell. 'When I leaped away she grabbed them. I have my answer.' Sasuke nodded. "You pass." Sasuke smiled. "Great cuz I'm tired." Suigetsu sat down drinking his water. "So were official ninja?" Karin asked. "Yes Karin. We start our first mission tomorrow. Good job team 8." Sasuke praised while the 4 ninja walked back to the village.

Naruto stood waiting for one of his students to charge at him but nothing happened. But suddenly Naruto was standing in the middle of a star. "What the?" "Sealing gravity jutsu commence!" Soren yelled. "Crap!" Naruto flashed away while the star glowed white.

"What the? THAT WAS SO COOL!" Soren gawked. Naruto was sitting in a tree sighing in relief till a blue beam was shot towards him. Naruto cursed before jumping off the tree before his stomach was assaulted by a fist. "Got you." Yusuke smirked holding his hand in a gun pose and against Naruto's head. "Spirit gun!" Yusuke cried. Before Yusuke knew it Naruto was replaced by a log.

"Replacement?" Yusuke scowled. He looked around to notice Soren was looking for him too. Maka just sat by and watched. "I know your there sensei." Maka stated. Naruto appeared behind her and sat down. "Why aren't you participating?" Naruto wondered.

"Because you said this was a teamwork exercise. I'm just wondering when those to Baka's will realize that. Oh and congrats on becoming Hokage. I'm glad to be trained under the Hokage to be." Maka grinned. Naruto grinned back.

"You know what Maka, you have a point. You pass." Naruto said. Maka hugged him tight. "Thank you sensei!" Maka grinned. "Your welcome but I still want you to help them okay?" Naruto said. Maka nodded with a smile.

"Sure!" She smiled. "Alright then." Naruto leaped off the tree branch and suddenly had an idea. "Maka follow me, I have a plan." Naruto said. Maka nodded before following her sensei.

"Damn! Why can't I find him?" Yusuke cursed. "Well I haven't seen Maka-chan either you think she's okay?" Soren asked walking up next to him. "Hn. She'll be fine. But I need that bell. I bet Taiken has already gotten his." Yusuke growled thinking his rival beat him.

The two looked around till they saw Maka come out the shadows her scythe in hand. "Maka-chan! Have you found Sensei?" Soren asked. Maka didn't answer but looked at them with emotionless eyes. "Are you okay?" Soren asked but his response was a slash from Maka's scythe. Soren barely dodged escaping with a cut on his arm

"Maka? What are you doing?" Soren demanded. "Yes what are you doing Maka?" Yusuke wondered. Maka didn't answer but attacked Yusuke as well who dodged with ease. "You better watch where you're swinging that girl!" Yusuke growled but then noticed her eyes. The were dull and hazed.

"She's possessed." Yusuke stated with facts. "What?" Soren asked. "You idiot! I said she's possessed! Seems like our Sensei is playing dirty tricks." Yusuke growled. Naruto came out of the shadows behind Maka.

"Very good Yusuke-teme. You are right Maka is trapped in a genjutsu. She will follow all my orders without emotion or a conscious. Maka kill them." Naruto ordered. "Yes Naruto-sama." Maka replied charging at her teammates.

"What a drag." Yusuke scowled before charging Maka. He dodged every swipe she threw at him. Yusuke tripped her and held her down. "Hey dead last! Use your gravity jutsu!" Yusuke barked. "No. I won't use it on her." Soren shook his head. "WHAT? ARE YOU STUPID? JUST DO IT YOU IDIOT BEFORE SHE GETS UP!" Yusuke yelled.

"SHUT UP! Just because you don't care about no one else doesn't mean no one else does! I won't use it on her!" Soren shot back. "You idiot! If we do this you will be able to save her! We can try and take out…" "Too slow." Naruto said as he kicked Yusuke in the face sending him flying back.

Maka stood up before walking towards Soren. "Get back Maka! I SAID GET BACK!" Soren yelled having wind shoot out of his hands sending her flying back to Naruto who caught her.

Yusuke managed to stand while holding his throbbing face. After he was sure things weren't broken he held his right hand while his left grasped his wrist. "SPIRIT CANNON!" Yusuke hollered a large blue blast shooting from his hand right at Naruto and Maka.

Naruto grabbed Maka and flashed away. Next thing he knew he was decked in the face by Soren. Yusuke stumbled back to the floor while Soren glared at him. "You bastard you could of killed them!" Soren spat.

"They would have been fine. See they got away." Yusuke wiped his blood away. "That's not the point! Haven't you been paying attention! We are supposed to use teamwork!" Soren pointed out.

Yusuke was taken back by this. "Teamwork?" Yusuke asked. "Yeah you dumbass!" Soren cursed. Yusuke looked down casted. "Soren? Yusuke?" They both turned around to see a dazed Maka tied to a stump.

"It's noon." Naruto said. The two boys looked at each other before looking at their sensei. "Sensei, we give up." Soren said. Naruto raised an eye brow. "We give up because we failed to see we needed to use teamwork. And we only harmed our teammate instead of saving her." Yusuke explained. Naruto looked towards Maka who gave a small nod.

"Alright, You pass." Naruto said which shocked the two genin. "What?" Soren asked. "You pass. You were able to feel bad and realized your mistakes, a little late but that doesn't matter. Soren, you need to keep a clear head. If there is a chance that you will save your teammate but it causes them little pain do it anyway. It's better than losing your life.

Yusuke, you can't be so damn arrogant. Don't think you don't need you teammates because that will lead to a dark path, just ask my best friend Sasuke. He nearly left the village for power but realized his mistake before he made it. So tomorrow we start our official mission as team 7." Naruto grinned untying Maka.

"Kuma-ken!" Musubi yelled trying to strike Sakura who dodged. Musubi didn't give up once her foot touched the ground she continued her attacks with more speed than before and she was actually making Sakura sweat.

Sakura ducked under Musubi's kick and grabbed her other leg throwing her to her teammates. Musubi recovered and charged again with even more speed. Sakura blocked the girl's punches and spun her around having her land with a small thud.

"Wow sensei you're really strong and fast!" Musubi grinned as sweat rolled down her head. "You are better than I expected. I'm proud of being your sensei Musubi!" Sakura grinned back. Musubi grinned even more before standing straight.

"Well I better stop. Len-kun and Taiken-kun are waiting for their turn." Musubi smiled walking back being replaced by Len. Sakura took a deep breath. After a few minutes of catching her breath she was ready.

"Are you ready Sensei?" Len asked. "Yup! Begin." Sakura said. Len nodded before pulling out a scroll. He opened the scroll and from it came a Kwan Dao. Sakura raised an eye brow as did Taiken.

"Alright sensei lets go!" Len roared charging at Sakura then blurring away appearing behind her ready to strike. Sakura reached behind her and grabbed Len's arm and threw him over her head. Len flipped in mid air landing safely.

"I guess I'll have to end this quick! Rapid temple assault!" Len roared swing his staff all in different directions. Sakura didn't know what was happening till a least a thousand strikes came at her. She barely dodged but was able to knock his weapon out his hand.

Len smirked before engaging in hand to hand combat with Sakura. Sakura was finding it hard to not use her brute strength against her students but put up a decent fight. It was when Len tried kicking her head when he lost the battle. Sakura grabbed his leg and swung him into the air. When he was coming down she socked his stomach getting a grunt of pain from him. Len flew back all the way next to Musubi tumbling.

Taiken watched with hidden interest. He stepped up while Len tried getting up. "I'm not done yet." Len grunted. "Sit down. You're not able to fight. I handle this." Taiken smirked.

"I can still fight!" Len protested. "How am I supposed to become a true ninja if I don't help my teammates? This is not only one on one but teamwork. Isn't that right Sensei?" Taiken smirked.

Sakura narrowed her eyes at him. "I guess. Show me what you can do!" Sakura ordered. Taiken raised his hand and extended his index finger and formed the Katon sign in the air. "Katon." Taiken mumbled.

In rapid speed Taiken made dozens of marks in the air. "Release!" Taiken shouted instantly fire started shooting at Sakura. "What is this?" Sakura wondered dodging the fire.

"Suiton! Release!" Taiken made the water sign and water shot from the puddles around them Sakura bashed her way past. "Doton! Release!" The earth started shaking a catching Sakura off guard till large spikes shot up from the ground aiming to impale her.

Sakura punched one pillar that popped up but didn't see the oncoming fire ball from behind. Sakura Jumped back forming hand signs. "Water style: Water fang bullet!" Sakura blew out a giant water ball that clashed with the fire ball.

"Fuuton! Release!" Taiken called. The wind started picking up till it got violent giving Sakura cuts on her body. "Katon!" Taiken called blowing out a giant fire ball making it stronger due to the wind. Sakura cursed before jumping out the way she was knocked down seeing Taiken in the air one second and pointing a blade at her throat the next.

"Yield Sensei." Taiken spoke in a cool voice. Sakura smirked. Taiken was caught off guard as wood shot up from the ground wrapping around Taiken. "Crap." Taiken muttered. Sakura stood and dusted herself off. She looked up at the three ninja.

"You pass. I didn't think you were going to because of Taiken but what he said to Len made me change my mind. Taiken I want you to report to the hokage's office tomorrow morning got it?" Sakura said releasing Taiken. "Yes sensei." Taiken nodded. "We will start our first mission together tomorrow so be ready. See ya!" Sakura winked.

She took off to go find her Mate to see how he was doing. She could tell he was happy yet sad she wasn't with him at the moment.

"Well I guess we can have some fun then, Naruto-kun"

Well this chapter is over! I bet you guys are wondering what kind of power Taiken was using well you'll find out once he talks to the hokage! READ RAVE REVIEW!
