Chunin exams Part 2: Training to the final exams, Demons, Swords and training!

"Who is she!" Naruto demanded as he nearly died for her. Tsunade got red faced yelling at him so much.

"I told you brat I can't tell you!" Tsunade screamed back at him. Naruto wasn't going to give up and neither was Tsunade. Two of the sand ninja where watching the fight with interest.

"What happens when an unstoppable force mean an immovable object?" The one sand Jonin joked. The other one turned to him and responded.

"Duck and cover sir." Before they had to duck and cover from Tsunade punching Naruto over their heads. They looked at each other as the older ninja turned and said,

"I guess duck and cover works." Before the two sand ninja started laughing. After things had calmed down between the two of them, Naruto and Tsunade struck a deal that he would live out the next 5 days in the castle for the survival training, but under close eye of his status and vitals by medical nin. It was also agreed that the medical nin would only treat him for the injuries from the battle and not the survival training wounds, such as the ones that Tsunade inflicted. Nothing interesting happened other than a few intruders in the area but other than that nothing else went wrong. After the five days where up, teams picked up and escorted everyone back to Suna where they where de-briefed.

"Welcome back to Suna for those of you who survived the desserts. There are only three squads total left so as you can see; we do a fairly better survival exercise then the forest of death." The announcer quickly realized that Tsunade was there and it was an insult, he apologized and continued. "Now each of you will have a month before the finals begin. In the month's time you may do whatever you want, we will brief you two days before the finals are set to begin to tell you who your opponents are. If you miss that announcement it doesn't matter. But if you miss your match, then you will be out and you will have to try again another year. Until then, good luck and train hard. Dismissed." Naruto didn't like speeches very much but it gave him time to plan as he knew the upcoming finals where his tickets to Jonin and two large steps to Hokage. The road he was on was paved in blood and sweat but he gave his word and we wouldn't go back on it. The day went by really well and Naruto got home and told everyone he passed and was in the finals.

"Congratulations Naruto-kun. We all knew you can do it!" Hinata expressed as she gave him a kiss. "I got a present for you Naruto-kun!" Hinata seemed overly excited about her gift which she was more than happy to shove in his face. It was a small box and he wasn't sure he should open it.

"You know you don't have to give me anything Hinata-chan!" As much as he appreciated her getting him a gift he knew he probably didn't deserve it.

"Trust me Naruto-kun, you'll love it." Tsunade seemed more happy then usual and seemed… SOBER???? Ok something was really going on and he almost felt like it was huge. He started opening it to find a card inside. 'Ok... So everyone is excited over a card?' Naruto thought as he took it out and read it.

You are invited to a wedding

To be wed on October 19th, we invite you to a wedding of the ages. We hope you can make it and would appreciate your involvement in the wedding ceremony.

Naruto didn't want to read anymore. She was giving him a wedding invite to a wedding he wasn't apart of. He looked over to see her smiling.

"Read the rest of it." She said in a giving him a smile to rival his famous one.

We hope you can make it.

Sincerely,

Hyuga Hinata and Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto

Naruto was confused.

"I don't understand I thought you were married?" Naruto wanted so bad to be happy but it's hard to be when you get a marriage offer from someone who's still married. Hinata shook her head.

"The counsel wanted me married off to a Hyuga but thanks to Tsunade-sama they found a few flaws in the marriage which Tsunade-sama quickly exploited to announce our marriage!" Hinata squealed. Naruto was in shock. Then again Hinata got married so quickly, there was bound to be mistakes in procedure and everything. "They couldn't do much when Tsunade-sama announced that under the articles of the Clan Rules that no one really paid attention too, all clans must get an approval from the Hokage or the counsel before marrying off higher ranking family members. Until now it wasn't really enforced because it was placed because some family members used to sell off their sons and daughters to other family members. We are finally going to get Married Naruto-kun!" Naruto couldn't believe it. He gave the biggest smile he could before wrapping his arms around Hinata and twirled her around both of them in a joyous frenzy, Or at least that's what Naruto and Hinata felt like they weren't even in a room full of their friends when Hinata and Naruto gave each other a deep kiss while still hugging. Time seemed to fly for everyone except the new couple. They watched for seconds with a smile on their faces, and for once Jiraiya wasn't thinking like a hentai. Minutes went by as some of them wondered if they were stuck to each other. It was broken finally as Kushina cleared her throat loudly reminding them that people where watching. They broke the kiss and Naruto placed Hinata back on Earth. They both blushed as they smiled and chuckled at each other.

"Naruto-kun, I want to give you a present as well." Kushina said walking into the other room, coming back a few minutes later with a long box. "This used to be a family hairloom that the Uzumaki leader would carry as a symbol of royalty and the pride of the clan." She said handing him the box. Naruto opened it to see a bright katana that had many engravings and some burn marks on it, obviously from the day that the Uzumaki family came all but extinct. Naruto loved that his mother would give this to him but he didn't know how to use it.

"I love it but, I don't know how to use a katana." Naruto explained. Suddenly the fox came into his head. 'Hey kit, since you're getting so many presents, I got one for you too.' Suddenly Naruto felt a small burning pain in his stomach before a large animal was standing next to him. When Naruto looked next to him, he saw the nine tailed fox standing next to him with his fur radiating orange chakra that made it look like his coat was on fire. He tails where swaying. The majestic colors added with the fox's chakra made it look like his tails where releasing ambers across the floor.

"Hello Kit." The fox grinned as Naruto jumped in surprise along with everyone in the room backing up in fear. Tsunade and Jiraiya knew that if this was the fox then they were in some deep shit.

"Fox… you're…" Naruto stuttered.

"I rather like being out of your body. Less cramped." The fox joked. As much as the fox loved tormenting people, he was rather proud of Naruto. In the last few years he considers Naruto almost one of his kin. "Though if I was full sized it would be even more cramped." The fox tried to joke again. No one was laughing. The fox sighed. "I'm trying to lighten the mood mortals not kill you…yet." The fox laughed and once again remembered that he was in his fox form and was probably imitating. "Anyway I came out to give you a very special gift." The fox gave a small dramatic pause just for the fun of it. "I want to bring you back to the demon world to train under me for 4 weeks." Naruto was stunned. It was not every day that the most powerful demon in the known world offers to train you. Naruto starting laughing.

"Good one fox." Naruto started calming down when he noticed that the fox wasn't laughing this time. Naruto froze up a little.

"I wasn't joking kit. You have real potential and I think I can make a true warrior out of you yet. It's a onetime deal. Most mortals never see the inside of the demon realms and you have a chance to train under me kit." Naruto couldn't believe what he was hearing and furthermore… wait what about Hinata and him? He turned back to Hinata and noticed she was looking at him. She still had a look of nervousness' of her face being as a creature that could literally kill them all in on swipe of his paw was in the room and according to rumors was a fierce and unmerciful demon. But here the same demon was, offering the man she loved a one time opportunity to learn from him. Naruto didn't want to do something and not have his family, his soon to be family and his friend's approval.

"Well, you know I can't go without my Fiancé's approval." Naruto took her hand. "What do you think?" Hinata tried to think about it hard for a moment. This was a demon, she wasn't sure if she could trust him let alone take Naruto back to the demon realm with him. Who knows what could happen to him. On the other hand if the fox was going to do what he said, and to her that was a huge IF, Naruto could learn so much and become even more powerful.

"But you will be gone for only four weeks, how will you learn a lot in that amount of time?" Hinata said only thinking that four weeks it enough time to learn one jutsu or a few depending on Naruto's control and how fast he can learn what the fox wants to teach him.

"The demon and human realms are not connected unless they are forced. What you humans know as four weeks will be the equivalent of ten years in my realm. The Kit will train under me for ten years, which will be more then plenty for what I have to teach him. In the demon realm because time is much faster there, I do not know if the kit will age ten years or if he will only be four weeks older but one thing I can promise you. He will come back alive you do not have to worry about that. I swear on my blood oath." The fox stated. Hinata didn't even know if the fox could be trusted. "I understand that humans don't have much of a tolerance of demons or other otherworldly creatures. I also can tell by your expression that none of you trust me. Except for maybe the kit. The choice is his, not mine. If he says you must agree to let him go, then so be it. Just when I thought I figured you humans out, you make changes to your rules." The fox sighed. The last part of his statement was partly under his breath. Naruto turned back to the small crowd to see that the fox was right; he too could see it in their eyes. They all had disbelief and doubt against the words of the fox.

"I don't know Naruto-kun." Kushina stated. "If you should trust him or not. If you're asking my opinion I'd say no, but if you want to train under him for awhile I'd support and worry about you. While I have no doubt that some demons are misjudged, the fox here isn't exactly known to us as friendly. We all have some grudge against him one way or the other. He took away my husband and I'd rather die than see him take my son too. I can never forgive him for that." Kushina stated holding her hand to her heart. "I have seen my own family murdered in front of me, then my husband taken from me. My heart cannot take any more if you were taken from me too." Kushina's eyes showed that her hurt was real and her pain was present making her not the wisest person to trust to be unbiased. But she did have a point, the fox did take many lives and wasn't exactly remorseful about it either. But Naruto's mind was simply put on wanted to train under the fox so he could become strong and powerful, enough to protect everyone he cared about a lot better. So many people were hurt and in pain because the fox exists, but if he could grow strong, learn from the fox, then maybe save everyone somehow. Jiraiya was the first one of the bunch to come over the fear of having the nine tailed fox in the room. He walked over to Naruto and placed his hand on his shoulder.

"You know, I trained in a demonic realm once. It wasn't half bad. Perhaps we should let Naruto-san have a shot at it. When I was in the demonic realm, most of the demons where very friendly, so maybe we let our hate of demons get the best of us. Naruto-san I know that if you go, you will have a great time and learn a lot. So if you want my advice, I'd say go for it." Jiraiya put a look over at Tsunade and she nodded in agreement. It was true, Jiraiya was in the demon realm with the toads learning the art of the sage. While she did not fully trust or even slightly trust the nine tailed fox, she found out that the demon realm, from Jiraiya, was a peaceful place mostly. Tayuya was a bit skeptical but was also envious of Naruto getting an opportunity like this. She nodded in agreement. Kushina looked down for a moment before hesitantly raising her voice.

"Maybe I…" Kushina thought about what she was going to say for a moment. "Maybe I branded all demons bad. While I still don't trust the fox on anything he says, if Jiraiya-sensei says that the demon realm is alright then I suppose that I am alright with you going." Naruto smiled at his mother. "Just please came back home safely." She glared at the fox. "While you may not have my respect or my trust, you obviously have my son's. Just know this, I don't care what realm your in, if you hurt my boy then…" Kushina was silenced by Tsunade who didn't want to piss off the Kyuubi who was obviously trying to be nice. The fox chuckled.

"Don't worry. While he is human, he is as worthy for my training and respect as some of my kin. I will bring him back safe." Kushina glared at the fox again before going over to her son and giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"That just leaves you Hinata-chan. Your opinion means the most to me." Naruto said glaring a smile at her. She shared the opinion of Kushina in the beginning but now from the testimony from the Jiraiya, she was starting to think it would be good for him.

"Only if you promise me two things." Hinata shyly stated. "One is that you come back alive and unhurt." Naruto agreed.

"Ok and what else?" Hinata tried to hide a smile.

"You help me plan the wedding." Naruto scoffed.

"Ok that'll be easy." Naruto smiled. Kushina bowed her head in embarrassment. 'Kids…' Kushina thought. Naruto looked back at the fox. "So when do we leave fox-sensei?" Naruto asked looking into the spliced eyes of his new sensei. The fox laughed.

"Human boldness is so entertaining. It is one reason why you are loved and hated in the demonic realm. But to answer your question kit, whenever you are ready. I'll give you cloths to wear and training weights and such but I'd take your mother's sword. I'll teach you how to use it." Naruto turned to ask his mother for the sword but she already had it out and held it out to him. He carefully took the blade off her hands. It was light but perfectly balanced with the handle to create a perfect weapon. As he looked at it he noticed just how much the blade shinned and reflected the light off the etchings in the blade. It was truly a spectacular blade and knew it would serve him well. He took and carefully planted a hug on his mother who was hugging him tighter than normal, hoping that it would not be the last time she saw him. They parted and Kushina felt reassured that he would come back to her with that wonderful smile and spark in his eye, just like his father. Hinata turned to him and wrapped him in a hug for awhile never wanting to let go. It was painful for her but she hesitantly removed her hands from his body and scanned over him one last time before giving him a kiss similar to the one they were doing awhile ago. She was threatening to hold him longer for this time before the fox this time interfered.

"The longer you try to delay this the harder it will be to leave kit." The fox was right and Naruto parted lips with Hinata. Naruto put two fingers to his lips and kissed them then placed his fingers on her lips.

"I'll be back soon. Promise me that you both will behave." Naruto said directing the question at Tayuya who nodded her head and to Hinata who nodded and kissed his hand. Naruto gave her a quick smile and walked away bringing his finger with him. The fox and the kit stood next to each other. Naruto nodded at the fox and gave a final look at Hinata. To him, I'd be the last time he'd see her in ten years. A black hole opened in front of them and the fox looked at him.

"Time to go kit." Naruto turned away and him and the fox walked into the hole to have it disappear behind them causing Hinata to break into tears.

"You promised me you come back Naruto-kun! You promised all of us!" She stuck out her fist like Naruto does. "You promised and you never go back on your word!" She screamed as if Naruto could still hear her. She doubted he could but at the same time she had a feeling the message got through.
