CHAPTER 2: TEAM REARRANGEMENTS AND KONOHAMARU

PoTF: New chapter of Naruto: Restart. As the chapter states, this is the next chapter in the Naruto manga where Naruto meets up with his teacher and mentor, Kakashi Hatake, though the cyclops scarecrow doesn't know him unlike now.

Kiactu: There has been a change in the harem. Now, Naruto has one more girlfriend. You guessed it, the mysterious servant fox girl that Prince of the Namae no Nai gave to Naruto. That, and I was planning on Naruto to have the princess from Nadeshiko as a wife, also. Plus a few older people, though no Tsunade. I don't hate the woman, it's just that she needs to let go of her lover's death already.

CHAPTER START

Naruto woke up the next morning feeling a little sore. He opened his eyes to see a pair of grayish-green orbs staring him back. "Ohayo, Naruto-sama," the girl from last night told him as she straddled him. "This is a little embarrassing," the jinchuriki told her. "I don't know your name." The girl straightened up, before answering that statement. "I am Yukiyana Hoshi, but you can just call me Yuki. Kiactu-sama asked me to serve you to my best and hoped that you would be pleased." Naruto smiled, unsure how to take this as he looked at the girl's tails swinging back and forth as she smiled as well.

"Um, Yuki-chan, can you get off me for a second?" the jinchuriki asked as he grabbed the girl's hips. "I need to take a shower and get ready for the team placements today, even if I remember who goes on whose team." Yukiyana nodded as she watched her master get up. He went into the bathroom, only for the girl to follow him in. "Um. . . Yuki-chan, what do you think you're doing in here?"

"I wanted to scrub your back, Naruto-sama," Yuki simply stated. "Um. . . I think that I can do it myself." Naruto sweatdropped at the girl's suggestion. He looked at the girl's dejected emotion before sighing, hating the chivalrous side of him. "Whatever," he said before starting to undress. "You scrub my back and I'll scrub yours. It's the least I can do." The girl lit up before taking the sash off her yukata and then taking it off altogether. Naruto stepped in the shower with the female fox hanyou stepping in behind him.

After the shower, Naruto had to leave in order to go see Sarutobi before the academy gave out team placements. "I'm going to be gone for the day, so please don't touch anything that looks dangerous," he told the girl, only for Yuki to nod her confirmation before starting to clean up. Naruto left for the Hokage building and made it in half the time it would take him before.

"Okay," he said, landing on the windowsill behind the Hokage before opening said window and jumping in. "Oi, Jiji," Naruto called out to the old man. "Did you read the letter yet?" Sarutobi looked over his shoulder at the young boy in front of him and nodded. "Of course," he told Naruto. "It's hard to believe that the Naruto in front of me is the one from beyond the Fourth Shinobi World War." Naruto smiled, rubbing the back of his head.

That was when Naruto heard the yell of a certain apprentice of his as the boy tried to "kill" the Hokage, only to trip over his extra length scarf. "Who tripped me up?" a younger Konohamaru Sarutobi asked as he looked around to see a snickering Naruto. "Was it you? Do you want a piece of me?" The jinchuriki waved him off before walking away. "No. You tripped yourself up on your own accord. I had nothing to do with it." A man in a blue jumpsuit and tinted sunglasses appeared next to Naruto and told him to respect the Third's honorable grandson. "A lowlife like you has no need to be in the presence of someone like the honorable grandson."

A twitch of irritation was seen in Naruto's eyes, as he had always hated how Ebisu acted around him. He was like a brat in an adult's body. "Whatever," Naruto said, continuing out the door.

In town, he felt someone's presence following him and decided to ignore it, knowing who it was. "If you're going to follow me, at least get the Kakuremino no Jutsu correct," he called out as Naruto saw that the designs on the fence was a little. . . sideways. "I like you! You were enough to see through my jutsu!" Konohamaru called him out. Naruto sweatdropped. It wasn't that hard to find out. You made the fence's design look sideways, which didn't fit as the fence posts go up and down, not sideways.

"I have decided to make you my rival! I will surpass and defeat you if it takes all my life!" Konohamaru yelled out as he challenged Naruto. "Honorable grandson, it is not fitting that you stoop yourself so low as to hang around streetrats like this filth," Ebisu said as he found Konohamaru and Naruto. "Street rat?" the jinchuriki asked. "I'll show you a street rat, you closet perv! Oiroke no Jutsu!" Naruto turned into Naruko and Ebisu flew back with a nosebleed.

Naruto walked away, intent on getting to his class before the day got any weirder. He opened the door to see that half of the girls were looking at his new attire, thinking how much it reminded them of the Fourth's. . . especially with the shoulder-length blonde spiky hair. The only difference was that it had a ponytail in the back that reached the small of his back like a certain Sannin's. Why in the hell did I agree to let Yuki-chan fix my hair, he thought as the fox hanyou was humming to herself while she cleaned and sneezed by accident.

Yuki heard a knock on the door and opened it to see Konohamaru Sarutobi waiting to come in. "I was just wondering if this is where Oyabun. . .I mean, Naruto-nii-sama was staying. I might have the wrong house," he said, turning away. "No, this is where Naruto-sama lives," she assured him. "I'm just his helper. He got me from Kiactu-sama, who knew my mother wanted to make me learn respect for others." Konohamaru smiled as he went in, liking the fact that his role model had a servant. He wouldn't say slave, since the girl before him did not feel at all like she was threatened by Naruto's presence. She seemed to be really cute and a few years younger than he was.

He didn't notice the fact that the girl had fox ears or a bundle of tails behind her, as there seemed to be some kind of veil hiding their presence. All he could see was her gray eyes with slitted pupils and her silver hair. "I forgot to ask your name," Konohamaru said aloud. "I have to know who I'm going to be watching over after I defeat Jiji and take his mantle of Hokage." The girl bowed to the boy and smiled. "My name is Yukiyana Hoshi, but everyone, including Naruto-sama, calls me Yuki."

"Arigatou, Yuki-san!" the grandson of Hiruzen told the girl as he left the home. "I'll find Naruto-nii-sama yet and challenge him to tell me how he defeated Jiji last night!"

Meanwhile in class, said jinchuriki was listening as Iruka called out everyone in the classroom while every fangirl (including Sakura and Ino) were excited to know if they were on the same team as the Uchiha. Naruto glanced over to said boy as he felt that the boy's eyes were on him. Sasuke quickly turned his attention away from Naruto, though it didn't really occur to the Sharingan user that Naruto wasn't fooled by the fact that he knew he was being watched.

"Team Seven will be Sasuke Uchiha. . ." Said boy looked at the teacher before snorting as he didn't really care what teammates he got, as long as he was able to get power to defeat Itachi. ". . . Sakura Haruno. . ." A shit-eating grin could be seen upon the girl's face as she stuck her tongue out at every other fangirl in the room. ". . . and Naruto Uzumaki." Everybody looked as a thud was heard in the back of the classroom. I knew this was coming, but the least they could've done was change it up a little. "Your sensei is Kakashi Hatake."

He looked up to see that Iruka went on to announce the next team. "Team Eight will be Kiba Inuzuka. . ." Said dog-nin and his pet. . . well. . . dog, barked as they smiled at being placed upon a team. "Alright!" Kiba yelled as he smiled. ". . . Shino Aburame. . ." The bug user stayed quiet and said not a word as he waited for the third member of their party to be called out. ". . . and Hinata Hyuuga." Naruto-kun wasn't placed on my team, the silver-eyed girl thought as she was a little downcast that her crush wouldn't go on missions with her. "Your sensei is Kurenai Yuhi."

"Team Nine had already been formed before the school year was over, so we'll go on to Team Ten," Iruka went on. "They will consist of Shikamaru Nara. . ." A sigh followed by the phrase "What a drag." was heard. ". . . Choji Akimichi. . ." Said boy just ate his bag of chips. ". . . and Ino Yamanaka." Said girl bitched about not being on the same team as "her" Sasuke-kun. "Your sensei is Asuma Sarutobi." Inside a certain jinchuriki's stomach, feelings of sadness rolled over him, as he had remembered how the man had died to protect him, leaving a girlfriend with a child that would never know their father personally. "God dammit!" Naruto yelled out, trying to mask the hurtful memory. "Is there any girl in here ("Besides Hinata," he whispered to himself) that does not want their pussy stuffed by inch-high Uchiha over here?" A book found itself upside his head as he fell back with it. "Naruto! Language!" Iruka yelled. "Itai," Naruto said as he rubbed the new mark on his forehead.

The door opened and Asuma stepped in, calling for Team Ten. Naruto watched as they left, followed by Team Eight as Kurenai had come to pick them up as well. The jinchuriki knew that they would have to end up with different people this time around, in order to stop the heartache of losing Asuma as a lover and not as a friend. Naruto remembered the man as he had taught him much about his chakra manipulation techniques.

It was well into the day and Naruto was bored out of his mind. He hated the fact that Kakashi was the kind of person to be late to meetings. After all, he wondered what he did. It couldn't be the fact that the young boy turned ANBU was at the grave site of his teammates and sensei. For one, his sensei's grave was halfway across the village from his teammates'. Kyubi. . . I mean, Kurama, grew restless as he hated waiting, especially on that good-for-nothing teacher of his jinchuriki.

Naruto walked up to the door before grabbing a dusty chalk eraser and placing it over the door, though the boy was so out of it, he didn't even register what he was doing until it was done and Kakashi opened the door. The chalk fell on top of his head as the room grew silent. "I'm sorry," Naruto said, a mental smirk on his face. "It's just a habit I picked up, Kakashi-sensei."

"My first impression. . ." Kakashi said, thought Naruto knew what he was going to say. He didn't really mean it, though. "I hate you all." Sakura looked downcast while Naruto just stood there and didn't say anything and yawned. Sasuke just glared at the man as Kakashi told them to meet him on top of the roof to the school.

". . . He doesn't really hate us," Naruto told them as he looked towards the girl to see that she was fuming. The jinchuriki could feel the girl's negative intentions towards him and said, "Well, I better meet up with Kakashi-sensei." He then used Shunshin before Sakura could get to him. "NARUTOOOOOOOO!" she yelled, rushing up to the roof after him. Sasuke sweatdropped as he watched what transpired between his two teammates.

Naruto sat and waited while Kakashi began reading Icha Icha Makeout Tactics when Sakura burst through the door to get to Naruto. As she grabbed him, he popped and Sakura noticed that instead of ringing Naruto by the neck, she had a sofa cushion instead. Sakura looked around for the blonde genin before growling in frustration. Kakashi just looked at them with a raised eyebrow. Sasuke made it there as well and the cyclops decided to start it off with introductions.

"Kakashi-sensei, aren't you supposed to set an example for us?" Naruto asked. "I mean, it can't be that hard to tell us all about yourself." He smiled, thinking that he had caught Kakashi. "Okay, my name is Kakashi Hatake and I'm a jounin of Konohagakure no Sato. I have many likes as well as dislikes. I have one dream and that's about all you need to know." Everyone sweatdropped at his answer, though Naruto knew it was basically the same one from before. "On to you, Blondie."

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki and I'm a genin of Konohagakure no Sato. I like ramen, my precious people, Yuki-chan, and a lot of other things," Naruto stated. "I dislike vegetables and absolutely hate when someone betrays your trust, as well as rapists (well, when it's not a job option with us being shinobi and all)( AN: What I mean is that of the most torturous ways to get information, rape is considered one of the most brutal. I do not promote rape, but am only using it as a way to get information out of somebody, if that is your job as an interrogator. . . and even then I don't agree with it. I hate it when I hear things about a grown ass man having his way with a girl about seventeen and below), murderers (assassins don't really count as after all, it is a way to make money), traitors most of all. Traitors are up there with people willing to kill others for power and trying to seek revenge for something that was probably a big misunderstanding. My hopes and dreams are to become Hokage so I can end this cycle of hatred."

"What do you mean by cycle of hatred?" Sakura asked Naruto, intent on listening to him. "Well, if I didn't have my morals and hit you, or did even worse, your parents would take retribution and have me done the exact way, which in turn would make the people who care about me, which is considerably few, take revenge on the people who did what they did to me. The cycle repeats itself until eventually, we have a war on our hands." Kakashi was surprised. His student, the Kyubi jinchuriki, was able to decipher the cycle of hatred and managed to explain it to the rest of his squad.

"Moving on to you, Pinkie," the early-twenties-old young man called out to Sakura. "Tell us who you are, likes, dislikes, dreams, etc." Sakura blushed before looking towards Sasuke and giggling. Inwardly, everyone groaned as they had to sit and listen. "My name is Sakura Haruno and I'm a genin of Konohagakure no Sato. The things I like. . ." She giggled as she looked over to Sasuke, making everyone else groan yet again. "The things I dislike. . . Naruto-baka, things that don't like Sasuke-kun, my forehead." Naruto flipped her off behind her back. "My dream is. . ." Again. "SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE SASUKE HATE SASUKE!" Naruto yelled at the pinkette. Sasuke looked grateful before it ran by him.

"Finally, Emo-san over there," Kakashi said, thankful that the conversation was going away from the greatness of Sasuke-kun for a moment. "My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I dislike more things than I like. My only dream is to kill a certain someone," Sasuke answered, only for Naruto to laugh aloud. "That was exactly what I was talking about!" Naruto laughed aloud. "Teme doesn't know to let go of something that may or may not have been a big misunderstanding. Itachi could've been ordered to kill you entire family, not of his own free will." That was when Naruto felt Sasuke's eyes on him. "Don't get all pussy with me just because I might be telling the truth," he countered.

"Meet me at Training Ground 3 tomorrow morning at seven o'clock," Kakashi told his team. "I plan on giving you another genin entrance exam." The other two were shocked while Naruto just yawned. "Well, see you tomorrow, Kakashi-sensei," Naruto said as he jumped over the fence. Sakura and Sasuke were about to run to see if the boy had committed suicide. . . only to see him moving from roof to roof, occasionally pulling flips from here to there. ". . . What a weird boy," Kakashi commented before he used Shunshin to disappear and read more into his book.

Naruto made it home to see Konohamaru waiting for him by the door. "Hey, Konohamaru," Naruto said, opening the door as the boy looked with pride at his role model. "Can you teach me that jutsu you used to beat Ebisu-teme with?" the grandson of the Sandaime asked. Naruto thought about it before nodding. It wouldn't hurt the second time around, he thought. But oh how it hurt the first time. "The key is. . ." (AN: I'm only doing this from memory, so everything past the part where Konohamaru gets Naruto to teach him the Oiroke no Jutsu is a blank)

After Naruto taught Konohamaru about the Oiroke no Jutsu, they decided to go for a walk around the city to see Ebisu waiting for them. "Honorable grandson, it is time that we leave this hooligan and take a shortcut to make yourself stronger than your grandfather for you to become Hokage." Naruto scoffed, telling Ebisu that there was no way that there was a shortcut for becoming Hokage. "There will never be an easy way to become Hokage. First off, you have to not die and second off, you don't become Hokage to be acknowledged, you become Hokage because people acknowledge you."

"How would a ruffian like you know that?" Ebisu told the jinchuriki. Konohamaru wanted to show Ebisu what he had learned, and so he did, by transforming into a brunette woman with a pretty haircut and a perfect body, unlike his other times. Naruto closed his eyes as Ebisu tried to brush it off, a smile becoming visible as he remembered how this worked out. Ebisu would chastise the young boy for learning the jutsu and try to drag him away, then Naruto would use something that would make the man fly back with a massive nosebleed. And right on cue, he heard, "Come along, Honorable Grandson. You should not hang around this boy, as he is trying to corrupt you."

"Corrupt?" Naruto asked. "If anything, you're trying to corrupt the boy. Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" (AN: You do realize that in the anime, they do shout out the name of their techniques, those of you who flame me for listing said jutsu.) About twenty of Naruto's clones appeared before transforming into their Naruko counterpart. "Oh, Ebisu-sama," they cooed as they crowded around the Tonkubetsu jounin, making the man fly back with a tremendous nosebleed, as he did before. Naruto laughed as he watched the man sail over Konoha, disappearing as a star twinkled in the distance. He turned back to see Konohamaru staring in awe before smiling. "I am no longer going to call you Boss," he said, his smile growing wider on his little prepubescent face. "I am going to call you my rival. I want to fight you for the position of Hokage when we grow up!"

Naruto remembered how happy Konohamaru was when he found out that he was the blond jinchuriki's predecessor for the title of Hokage after he became the Rokudaime. "Sure, kid, anything you say." Naruto could sense that the old man was watching them and smiled, walking on to his house to see Yuki and tell her all about his day.

As he walked in, he was surprised to see a year-older Yuki standing in front of him. "Welcome home, Naruto-nii-sama," she smiled. The jinchuriki smiled back before relaying to her how his day went.

THE NEXT MORNING

Naruto sighed as he felt a weight shift on his stomach. He opened his eyes to see a ten-year-old Yukiyana Hoshi on his chest and grinned as her tail waved cutely behind her. "Yuki-chan, it's time to get up," he said as he tried to get her up. "Nii-sama, just five more minutes," she said absently, cuddling more into his chest. Naruto silently waited before asking the girl to get up again. Finally, Yuki had began to wake up, sitting up and straddling Naruto as he looked into the girl's eyes. She blushed before getting off of him and started to make him breakfast when Naruto decided that he would do it for her.

"Really, it's no big," he smiled as he went into the kitchen to make eggs and ramen, of course. Yuki watched as he knew his way around the place before setting a plate down in front of her of ramen with boiled eggs, miso soup, broiled salmon, and umeboshi. Yuki picked up a pair of chopsticks before picking at her ramen and picking up a noodle. She stuck it in her mouth and slurped it up before her eyes widened. "Sugooooooooi!" she yelled as she went fangirl on the food. Naruto sweatdropped at the display before telling her he was off for the test.

Naruto appeared on the training field before sitting down and channeling nature energy to see if he still had Sage Mode, which he did (but had to use a low-level genjutsu to hide the fact). "What's up?" he asked with a grin as a certain Uchiha and his fangirl appeared. "If I was you guys, I would've just stayed home a few more hours. Kakashi-sensei has a reputation for being late, or so I've heard." He remembered why it took Kakashi so long to show up. He was undoubtedly reading his book near the monument, though he wouldn't really be reading the book and glancing towards the plaque where his friends had been killed.

If only there was a way to speed up his memory to the time after the war, he thought to himself. Naruto waited for a few more hours before shouting out, "OI! KAKASHI-SENSEI! HURRY UP AND GET OVER HERE ALREADY!" Said jounin came in reading his favorite book. "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING FOR THAT LONG?" Sakura yelled at their teacher. "I'm sorry," Kakashi sheepishly told them, scratching the back of his head. "I saw this black cat and had to move halfway across the village to avoid it." Naruto sweatdropped at the answer before sighing and saying that they should go ahead and start the exercise before he fell asleep standing up. "Alright, as Naruto brought up, we will start the survival test." He set an alarm clock on a stump before telling them that it was set to noon and if they didn't get one of the bells that he held up at an arm's length away from him, then he would fail them. "But sensei, why are there only two bells?" Sakura asked.

"He plans to send one of us back to the academy," Naruto said, all play gone from his face. Sakura looked shocked while Sasuke just looked impassive, though a little put off. What they didn't know was that Naruto was just joking, as he had went through it once before. "Close enough, Naruto," Kakashi told the jinchuriki. "Who ever doesn't get a bell will be tied to a post while we eat our lunch in front of them. And then they will be sent back to the Academy." Guess it had been a few years since he forgot.

"Then again, all three of you could flunk and go straight back to the Academy. You can use any weapon, including shuriken, to help you in this battle. If you do not come at me with the intent to kill, then you will not get a bell." Sakura complained that the weapons were dangerous, until Naruto told her, "Dangerous is in the job description. We will not be going from town to town picking roses for tourists. We are trained killers who die at an early age, which is the reason elderly shinobi like Homura and Ukatane are lucky to live to be Hokage-jiji's age."

If Sakura didn't know better, she'd say that Naruto had gotten a little more aged in the way he spoke (AN: Because I let him keep Sage Mode, every time he uses that, or Bijuu Mode, or any of his cloaks, Naruto ages to the age where he used them to begin with. It helps to set the plot in forward instead of him training to use the Rasenshuriken as it is now. Plus she couldn't see it because of the genjutsu I told you about from before). He seemed more on edge than she knew. When Kakashi said something about being losers, Naruto acted upon it and took a kunai out before Kakashi told them to start. He knew the Jonin had gotten behind him thanks to Sage Mode, but he had to put on a show that he was still a weak genin.

"Don't be so impatient," the older man warned Naruto. "I didn't say start yet." A smirk presented itself upon his face. "You just did." The ground cracked underneath Kakashi's feet and said Jonin stabbed a Kage Bunshin as it tried to grab a bell. "Excellent timing. You even came at me with the intent of destroying me. I'm actually starting to like you guys. But I still didn't mean to say start until. . . now." With that, he disappeared into a plume of smoke.

In the middle of a field stood Kakashi as he looked around to see where the trio were. Sakura was hiding in the bushes under a tree to his left while Sasuke hid in the tree to the right. "But where's the third one?" he asked himself before Naruto stood before him in the same position as he had the first time. The jinchuriki watched as his sensei began to pull a weapon before moving in on his own and pulling out a kunai. He put wind style chakra into said weapon before attacking, not noticing that Kakashi had moved before feeling the man's presence behind him. Not this time! He thought to himself as he moved forward when Kakashi used Konohagakure Hiden Taijutsu: Sennin Goroshi (Translation: Hidden Leaf Village Secret Finger Jutsu: A Thousand Years of Death). Sakura had chosen that moment to speak up, though Naruto moved before Kakashi thrusted upwards and barely missed.

The jinchuriki kicked the man away before running towards Kakashi and using Frog Kata (AN: Remember that he still has Sage Mode activated and has at least two more clones back on Mount Myoboku if he runs out of senjutsu chakra) to grab onto the ground and pull out a massive boulder. He roared as he hefted the boulder up (much to the shock of the rest of Team Seven) and threw it at Kakashi, who barely managed to move out of the way. "Naruto, what the hell were you thinking? You might get him to use his Sharingan to far into the future!" a sudden scolding from Kurama stopped Naruto in his tracks as he shook his head. "Eh heh, sorry about that, sensei," Naruto said, his hand behind his head as he sheepishly grinned. "It was an accident."

Accident my foot, Sakura thought as her eye twitched. That boulder could've hit Kakashi-sensei and crippled him, Jonin or not. That didn't matter, as Naruto sensed an attack from the jounin before moving out of the way and gripping Kakashi's wrist before flipping him over his back. As Kakashi landed, Naruto rushed in with a punch before his sensei dodged it. The jinchuriki tried to spin-kick Kakashi when his leg was caught in the early-twenties-old's hands. Naruto stopped himself before backflipping and kicking Kakashi away.

The last two looking away couldn't help but notice how different this Naruto was from the one they knew not even a month ago. Sure he still was incredibly dense, but now, he was able to go toe-to-toe with a jounin and still come out with minimal damage. Naruto was suddenly changing from a boy into something much greater. They watched intently as more Kage Bunshin were brought into play.

"Well then, it's a good thing you can dish out what you talk, because if you were to ever make it into the shinobi business. But you've still got a ways to go before you're even at my level," Kakashi told him. "It's a wonder you can keep shadow clones up for this long." That was when one had jumped onto the man's back. "What was that about being on your level, sensei?" Naruto asked as he drew closer. "I actually met the person who wrote that book that you're reading before. He was a major perv that didn't know when to stop looking in the women's bath. He said that the book."

"Shut up! Shut up shut up shut up!" Kakashi yelled, jerking his head back with his hands covering his ears before the sound of a ringing bell caught his attention. "Did you forget something, sensei?" Naruto smiled, jingling a bell with one hand. "I read the book but couldn't get into it because of the amount of smut in just one paragraph. Ero-sennin has no self-respect whatsoever." He walked away with Kakashi's one visible eye twitching. "Well, that was unexpected," he sighed. "Up next."

That was when a volley of shuriken hit him before he even finished the word next. He fell to the ground, much to Sakura's shock and Naruto's chagrin. The latter didn't care anymore as he just wanted to rest for a while.

An hour or two later found Sakura tied to the post while Sasuke and Naruto ate lunch. After her failed attempt at getting a bell, being downed by a D-rank genjutsu of a severely wounded Sasuke, the girl fainted, which in turn had made Naruto sweatdrop. Sakura was thrashing around and ordering Naruto to let her go, to which the jinchuriki ignored her before finally giving her some of his food. Kakashi had left under strict orders to not give her food whatsoever, but Naruto knew that it was just a ruse. "But, Naruto, if you give me your food, he was going to fail you too."

"Sure. But answer me this one question: When have you ever heard of a two-person team, or even a three-person team for that matter?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. She thought about it before shaking her head. "I have never heard of it. It has always been a three or more person team with one jounin sensei." That was when Kakashi decided to show up and pass them all before telling them his favorite line: "In the ninja world, those who break the rules are trash, that's true, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash." (AN: Basically the scene from canon with Naruto taking Sasuke's place while Sasuke takes Sakura's and, of course, Sakura takes Naruto's place. I'm too tired to describe it in detail.)

After the test, Naruto made it back home and went to bed, Yukiyana crawling inside with him. "Kiactu-sama had left yet another gift with you, Nii-sama," she said, making the jinchuriki groan as he got up again. He had to go through D-rank missions tomorrow and didn't want anything until he noticed the gigantic cleaver in the middle of the room. Inside the chair was a note that read:

Naruto,

I have left you yet another gift. It is an exact replica of my blade, only this is more designed so that you are able to harness the powers of Kurama into a weapon. This sword will assume forms before giving you a form yourself called Caliber-XR and is extremely powerful. I hope to learn more of your culture, as I will be attending the Chunin Exams once you have gotten to that point in time. And do not worry about Yuki-chan, as she will stay with us when you have to go on your journey with Jiraiya. I hope to see you soon.

Kiactu Maheem,

Prince of the Namae no Nai

And P.S. The forms depend on how much you and Kurama are in sync.

Naruto studied the blade before concentrating hard to draw out Kyubi's powers. As he got further and further into it, he didn't notice that the blade was beginning to liquify before said liquid began to crawl up his arms before making a long hooded coat with orange tufts in the hood, short sleeves, and a black outfit to match. X-shaped ribbons covered his forearms as they themselves were connected to fingerless gloves, which had the Uzumaki symbol on the back. The symbol had eight prongs like his original seal did as well. He had on black jean-like pants with black slip-on tennis shoes. He moved around to notice that hair covered half of his face and decided to run into the bathroom to see a single blood red eye staring back at him and no whisker marks visible anywhere on his face. He moved the bang out of his eye to show that his other eye was sky blue, his regular color. He let it fall back before dropping the chakra flow. All he wanted to do now was fall asleep. Naruto told himself that he would deal with it tomorrow.

CHAPTER END

Prince: Naruto has gotten a new form! It's sort of like Kiactu's original form when Naruto and Kurama are using Soul Resonance. Kiactu's version is called Caliber-X while Naruto's will be Caliber-XR. Cool names, huh. I will update Negito after I get this action bug out of my system. I have this awesome battle scene stuck in my head and I just have to publish it later on this month. Or next month. And then I'll get back to Negito and the others. Sadly, I have to shut down the KoP Beginnings: Percy Jackson because I have lost all hope for it. That and not that many people commented on it.

Kiactu: Caliber-X and Caliber-XR are based off Ichigo's new Tensa Zangetsu bankai and Tasha Godspell's Songs of Moirae. The way to tell them apart is basically by the hair. Naruto's Caliber-XR hair style is that of the late Nagato while mine is Nagi from Negima's hairstyle with Tasha's hair color before he fully uses Songs of Moirae (meaning black on bottom and white on top).

Prince: See ya later!
