I love the fact that I have like 8 different stories with the same, or mostly same MC of mine, it really lets me have fun with his life… Anyway, onto the story.

1: I update all my Ninja work while I don't update my other older ones…

A: Do people seriously read my "Ninja: input" fics just to complain about my older ones that I haven't updated? Cuz its kinda getting annoying when I know better writers don't get comments like this, I mean sure I didn't finish a fic you liked, but c'mon just human here, get bored easily…

2: Is this pre- time hopping?

A: Muhahahaha… It's before that point just after the death of the pain bodies, but does time ever only go one way?

"Speaking"

"Thinking"

"Summons/ bijuu speaking"

"Summons/ bijuu thinking"

"Fire style: Great fireball technique"

"… Why did you do it Naruto? I mean, if you had just told us that… That we were pushing you away…" Spoken a solemn sounding Kushina as her long red hair fluttered in the wind behind her as she watched her son, or rather ex-son Naruto, walk slightly in front of her with his hands shoved in his pockets as he felt the sun bare down on him from above as he glanced back towards his mother.

"Kushina-sama, we both know that it's only now after I left that you realised that I was being pushed away. If you were to honestly back in that same position years ago with me not gone and separated from you and hokage-sama, would you truly believe that my words were true? And not just an attempt to guilt trip the two of you? Because from what I believe, I know you wouldn't have believed me back then. No matter how much times I would say it." Replied Naruto as he roamed his eyes around the area, watching as people turned their heads away from him and Kushina as they walked towards the front of the village in order to get to the training ground where his exam with Kakashi and team 7 was being held within the next… Hour if he had to say anything.

Silence was the response Naruto earned from the woman as she lowered her head down in shame, unwilling to speak the harsh truth Naruto had laid out for her bluntly just moments ago, and as the silence prolonged itself, so too did the awkwardness of the situation between the ex-mother and son duo.

Eventually, the teen couldn't help but want to end the silence, not wanting to have such an atmosphere around him any longer.

"Just so you know Kushina-sama, you still are my mother, and Hokage-sama is still my father, no matter how you look at it. All this legal document of mine does basically just gives me my own identity to form out into the shinobi world outside of the village. Something that would have been near impossible as I would be constantly compared to Hokage-sama for every feat I achieved. Either way, I'm still your son Kushina-sama, you don't have to be so tense around me, what was done was due to my own decision. I hope you can accept that." Murmured Naruto as he turned himself around, his eyes coming into contact with Kushina's downtrodden ones for a brief moment before the woman quickly removed her own eyes from Naruto's gaze.

"Even still…" Murmured a disheartened Kushina as she continued to stare towards the floor in silence for a few seconds as her mind replayed over what Naruto had just said.

But before any conclusive thought could appear, the blond haired teen decided to at least make the situation between himself and Kushina somewhat doable.

Scratching the back of his head as he did so, the teen gave the woman a small smile.

"Ok then… How about you come watch the Genin exam team seven and I have to take now and just see how far my efforts have gotten me. That way, you can see why I think this is the right choice for me… How about it Kushina-sama?" Asked Naruto as he watched his former mother, to this version of Naruto's body at least, seemingly lost in thought for a few moments before finally coming to an agreement with a nod of her head before she relaxed her form slightly.

"… Ok Naruto-kun… But… But I want to make this into a bet…" Replied the woman, drawing a curious stare from Naruto as his blue eyes focused on his mother's own set for a second before nodding.

"Very well… What are your conditions Kushina-sama…?" Returned Naruto as he continued to walk in a relaxed and leisured pace, Kushina following behind him not even a few steps behind.

"… If… If you don't pass your examination… And prove to me that you will be fine on your own…. You have to come back home with me, Minato, Kasumi and Mito… Also, you have to drop "sama" from the end of my name… Just call me "kaa-chan" like you used to." Muttered Kushina in a soft tone as her eyes shone with determination as she watched Naruto stop dead in his tracks and look towards her before letting out a tired sigh as his blue eyes narrowed themselves slightly for a moment before returning to their regular size.

"… Fine… But if I win… You cannot ask me to return to the Namikaze household, and you will give up on me returning to the family of yours. Along that, should I win, I will only call you "Kushina-san" and to finish off… I cannot be questioned as to how I attained my abilities and if they are created from some way… The abilities I have are my own, and will remain my own. Do we have a deal Kushina-sama?" Questioned Naruto as he and Kushina locked eyes for what felt like hours before the woman narrowed her brow before nodding.

"Very well Sochi…" Returned Kushina with a smile, full bent on having Naruto return home where he belonged, where she could now fix her mistake… Her very costly mistake that she was stupid enough to let happen.

Hearing that, the blond haired teen let out a wide smile before placing a hand on Kushina's arm and with a small wink, the two disappeared in a burst of wind.

(Hokage tower)

"… You heard the deal Kakashi… I don't care how hard you fight, but make sure Naruto comes home. It should be pretty easy for someone of your calibre ok… Just bring him back to us…" Muttered Minato as he sat there with a crystal orb in front of him, his student watching the man fall silent before giving an eye smile.

"I'll try my best sensei." Replied the man with a puff of smoke, leaving behind an irritated Minato as he watched his student leave some leaves from his shunshin for no reason.

"Dammit Kakashi…" Grumbled Minato as his eyes moved towards the all-seeing orb once again.

(Training ground 7)

"And in a marvellous entrance, Naruto Hayabusa!" Shouted Naruto happily as he and Kushina appeared in a vortex of wind, sending leaves flying and scattering around them as his technique calmed itself down.

It was also not a few moments after the leaves all calmed down did Naruto get a clean punch to the face courteously of an irritated Satsuki who could now be seen with varies leaves of all sizes and shades of green wedged between each strand of hair on her head, Sasuke having something similar with leaves covering one of his eyes and jutting out from his mouth.

Mito and Kasumi however? Their forms were simply covered from head to toe in leaves, showing how intentional the appearance of the blond haired teen was set out.

Of course, Kushina being with Naruto as he used his technique, was oblivious to this as she simply watched her son getting beaten the crap out of by his friend Satsuki while Sasuke watched on with a silent evil grin on his face.

"Kaa-chan!" Screamed a voice as it ploughed its way out of the leaves covering their form, revealing a disgruntled Mito as she and her long red hair poked itself out from the leave storm surrounding both her and Kasumi, who had managed to escape not moments after.

Giving a caring smile towards the two girls, Kushina walked up to them before opening her arms wide, inviting the two girls to give her a hug, of which they happily accepted while also ignoring the sounds of Naruto getting the shit kicked out of him by Satsuki, who was now enhancing her body with her chakra.

Smiling down towards her two girls, Kushina let out a small giggle as she slowly picked out a few leaves from their hair.

"So you two ready for your Genin test? Did you make sure you got all your equipment on hand?" Asked Kushina, watching as her two daughters nodded their heads.

"Yes kaa-chan. I made sure Mito didn't leave any of her scrolls behind so she should be stacked up." Replied Kasumi proudly as she gave her mother a beaming smile, gaining one back from Kushina as she rubbed the blond haired girls head for a moment before turning her attention towards the pouting Mito.

"Did you make sure your stubborn sister eat her breakfast Mito-chan? You know how she simply loves to follow the rules unlike us troublemakers." Asked Kushina with a grin as she and her mini-me gained a wide smile before looking towards Kasumi who let out a small huff of annoyance before letting out a sigh.

"Sensei said not to eat. So I didn't. If you can't trust your superiors in their decisions, then you can't trust anyone aside from yourself and your direct family. So, until proven otherwise, I will follow my orders no matter what you try to tell me." Replied Kasumi, getting a bored look from both Mito and Kushina for a moment before the mother of three let the two out from the group hug before turning her attention back towards Naruto, who was now sitting on the floor with a small lump on his forehead while listening to Satsuki tell Naruto about the fundamentals about how her hair takes a long time to do.

And when she saw that, Kushina couldn't help but feel a sincere feeling enter her chest as she watched her son, something that she realised she hadn't done in a long time, always being occupied with something else at the time, something she would deem more important than Naruto almost constantly.

"Did I really miss out on my son growing up like this? Just look at him… I… I never realised he was like this at all… How could I have decided anything was basically more important than my own son?" Questioned Kushina quietly as she watched Naruto beg for forgiveness from Satsuki while ignoring the irritated Sasuke as he began to shake the rest of the leaves out from his shinobi sandals, giving Naruto a stink eye throughout the long and drawn out process.

Poof…

"Yo… Now doesn't everyone here seem lively today?" Asked Kakashi as he appeared in a puff of smoke, revealing himself already reading his Icha Icha book before arriving.

However, it was because of him reading his book that he didn't notice Kushina let out a dark chuckle as she walked towards him with a smile.

"Kakashi-kun… What's that I can see? You wouldn't like to lose your hand now would you?" Asked Kushina in a fake overly pleasant tone as she stalked towards Kakashi, who instantly snapped his book shut before hiding it within his pouch with a nervous smile on his face.

"Now, now… Let's not be hasty Kushina-sama…" Responded Kakashi with his signature eye smile before moving his attention over towards the group of Genin before opening his eyes, showing a bored look before clapping his hands.

"Ok… So, before we do anything… I would like to announce that the four of you have already technically passed my test, which is to be able to work with each other, something the hokage has decided you have done within the academy, bar Satsuki-chan and Naruto-kun there. However, considering Satsuki is a sister to Sasuke that gives the belief that she has the capabilities to work with her team. And with her apparent skills shown during the test, she is able to pass with her three teammates… As for Naruto… He will be having a practical session against me. During this, should he display enough skill, he will be placed in the Genin reserves… So with that out of the way, my cute little Genin and Kushina-sama, if you would like to watch Naruto's test, please go towards the outer ring of the training field." Spoke Kakashi with his bored tone dragging along everyone's ears, before pointing towards a section of the training field where he was sure his fight with Naruto wouldn't take place.

Nodding, Kushina and the four other Genin, moved over towards the section of the training ground, Satsuki giving Naruto a small grin as she walked by and Sasuke giving him a supporting "hn" as he shoved Naruto in the shoulder, earning a small chuckle from the now red eyed teen.

Ignoring the little interaction between the two male teens, Kakashi slowly reached into his kunai pouch once again, before pulling out his orange coloured book with a small grin on his face before glancing up towards Naruto, who was giving him a small twitching expression, before lowering his eyes back down towards his now opened book.

"Now, if you would like Naruto-san. You may begin." Spoke Kakashi with his bored tone staying the same throughout his entire appearance within the training field.

Twitching slightly as he was basically ignored in favour of a book, the blond haired teen let out a small animalistic grin before holding his hands into a lone hand sign.

"Well then Kakashi-sempai… I think I will!" Shouted Naruto with a grin as he suddenly brought forth a massive surge of white chakra through his body, before directing it all into his hand sign, of which Kakashi hadn't paid attention to before the sudden surge of powerful energy.

And when he did? He blinked in shock before lowering his book slightly so while it was out of his way, he could still read it if he had the chance.

"Isn't that the hand sign for-" "KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!" Screamed Naruto with his grin widening itself as not a moment later did the entire training ground suddenly envelop itself in a thick clump of smoke, obscuring both Kakashi's and the audiences vision from what was happening… Before hundreds upon hundreds of blond haired, crimson eyed teens were seen standing in a perfect circle around Kakashi, their smirks wide as their leaders was before they all simultaneously stretched their necks.

"So… Kakashi-san… Wanna continue?" Taunted the clones out loud, leaving Kakashi, who was now slightly sweating at the base of his neck, to let out a small chuckle as his hand lowered his book back towards his pouch while waving off the clones with his other hands.

"Now, now… Let's not get ahead of ourselves here~" Chided Kakashi with an eye smile, while internally sweating bullets as he could now obviously feel out the sheer amount of chakra each clone had within their systems.

"How does Naruto have such large reserves?! This is simply impossible! From what I count, its over five hundred clones, all around me in each and every direction. The amount of chakra they have within their bodies is somewhere between a low inexperienced Jonin, and that of a Decent Jonin! That would put the kid's reserves well over a kages!" Shouted Kakashi internally as he had his lone right eye move itself around before shutting itself beneath his eyelid.

"Well I guess… I'll have to put some effort into this one after all…" Grumbled Kakashi internally before he suddenly drew in a small breath…

Before disappearing in the wind. Not long after did this happen, the sounds of clones popping alerted the remaining clones that Kakashi began his attack…

(With Satsuki and co.)

"Show off. Just because he has super strong chakra and stupidly good control over it doesn't mean he has to flaunt it off… Oh who am I kidding? That's all he does when he trains with me and Sasuke, that egotistical loveable asshole…" Growled out Satsuki as she watched the field occupying hundreds of Naruto clones, before the sounds of popping was heard not minutes later, alongside the shouts of victory from the clones as they charged towards Kakashi, who was now flipping himself all around the area while making sure to take out each and every clone he could.

"Hn… Dobe would waste that kind of chakra for a simple demonstration." Grunted Sasuke as he watched alongside his sister Naruto's clones seemingly locked in combat with their sensei, who was gaining the upper hand with each of the clones he had defeated, before turning around towards his sister.

"Satsuki… How strong is Naruto really? I can get a small gist from him training us, but there's just too many things unknown about the Dobe to make a good guess." Asked Sasuke as he watched Satsuki give him a small sharingan enhanced stare, before shrugging her shoulders before moving her eyes over towards the fight.

"Honestly? I have no clue nii-san… But all I know is that Naruto will always beat his opponent and protect those he cares about… And that makes him awesome…" Replied Satsuki with a blush spread across her cheeks as she imagined Naruto holding onto her like he had done when they were kids.

Blanching slightly at the thought of his sister with Naruto in a more familiar situation, the teen shook his head before letting out a small sigh.

"I guess… Hn, the dobe is holding out on us in training." Grumbled Sasuke with a grin stretched along his face, only for Satsuki to slap him on his shoulder in a half-hearted nature before returning to the scene of Kakashi seemingly destroying all the Naruto clones that were all hurling themselves towards the Jonin.

While the two Uchiha were happily enjoying watching the fight and chatting amongst themselves, the other three occupants had something else on their minds.

"I... I-impossible! How d-did he do that?! Both I and Mito-chan can't even create that many kage bunshin! And we're the jinchuuriki of Kyuubi, something that gives us the ability to have more chakra than anything or anyone else! Add both our Uzumaki chakra, and tou-san's chakra… How does Naruto? Who isn't even supposed to have chakra in the first place, have enough to dwarf both my and Mito's chakra amounts?" Asked Kasumi with a dumb struck visage on her face as her blue eyes watched Kakashi nearing the end of the clone onslaught before glancing over towards her sister, of whom was frozen in utter shock, the same however could be said about their mother Kushina, who was speechless from what she was witnessing.

Narrowing her eyes, the blue eyed girl glanced down towards her hands before clenching them angrily.

"So what if he has massive reserves of chakra! I- I probably have higher amounts of control over it, and I know plenty of jutsu, including the rasengan! Tou-san even said that both me and Mito would probably get to sign the toad summoning contract soon, and even begin our training in our elemental affinities to a higher degree… Naruto has nothing on us…" Thought Kasumi with a small relaxed sigh escaping her lips as she calmed herself down before returning her focus onto the battle ahead.

She was stronger than Naruto, she knew it and she also knew Mito was just under her as well. Meaning Naruto was far behind the two of them.

And this fight against Kakashi would prove it…

(Hokage office)

"The amount of chakra that would take… I know the reports of him being unable to utilise chakra was true, I had Tsunade do it… But… Is it possible, that we were somehow wrong? The results being due to a foreign element? Kami… Five hundred shadow clones all able to fight without as much as a hint of fatigue… Naruto…" Thought Minato out solemnly as he stared at the all viewing orb on his desk with a concentrated gaze.

"Gotta give that kid some respect… He's what? Thirteen and is able to do something Kasumi-chan and Mito-chan can't do? I can only think of one person being able to do what he did, and that was Kushina using Kyuubi's chakra before the beast escaped from her seal." Spoke a voice besides Minato, whom of which simply nodded his head.

"Yeah… Kushina-chan was probably only able to do that because of the Kyuubi and her special chakra, of which both Mito and Kasumi have as well… But she was in her twenties alongside that... But, to be fair, her control was lower than our daughters are, so they should be able to produce more clones than she did… But yet… Here is Naruto, doing something my wife could without everything supporting her in achieving the same amount of clones he produced…" Murmured Minato as he continued to stare into the orb in front of him, his sensei giving a small nod of acknowledgement before letting out a small chuckle.

"He's really surprising if anything… And with that, Kakashi has defeated all the clones… Took him a bit longer than I thought it would have considering the brat's just graduated… Without any of the formal training at the academy… But even then, he did pass without it. So the kid must be hiding his strength from prying eyes." Returned Jiraiya, getting a small sigh from Minato as he watched Kakashi finish off all the clones before freezing in place.

Narrowing his eyes, Minato raised his left hand up to his chin, his eyes seemingly trying to identify why his student had frozen in place… Before he suddenly widened his eyes, turning towards his sensei who had a similar expression ridden upon his face.

"Fuinjutsu…" The two muttered simultaneously before looking back into the orb with further interest.

(Training ground 7)

"W-what?! I can't move? When or how did he tag me?" Asked Kakashi within his mind as he tried to furiously move any single muscle in his body, including his eyes as they sat there frozen shut with the darkness enveloping his senses.

"What's the matter Kakashi? Having a bit of trouble there?" Questioned a voice all around the silver haired man as his mind tried to identify the specific location of the voice.

He failed however, and not long after did he suddenly feel himself flopping dead onto the floor, his body still not responsive to his commands.

"Don't worry Kakashi… I'll take the seal off in a second, it wouldn't be fair to beat you like this… But really, you have to take this a little more serious than you have if you want a chance to fight against me fairly." Replied Naruto's voice, once again being heard from every angle and position within the darkness that basked Kakashi.

And with that, the silver haired man suddenly shot up onto his feet, his body feeling heavy and drowsy after having been awoken and placed back into movement once again.

Glaring with his one lone eye, Kakashi spread his senses out into the open, his mind replaying over everything he learnt about the teen… And when he did, his hand immediately shot up towards his headband, before being yanked up. Displaying the crimson three tomoe'd eye of the sharingan.

"Oh! The sharingan! Let's see how well you do now Kakashi!" Shouted Naruto from behind the silver haired Jonin, of which turned around and came face to face with Naruto's fist.

Easily throwing his own hand up against the teen, Kakashi quickly got hold of Naruto's fist before twisting himself, throwing Naruto's body over his shoulder, only for the teen to grasp against Kakashi's wrist that had caught his own hand…

Before sending out a surge of lightning chakra, electrocuting the man as he screamed before getting his feet swept from underneath him, where he then felt a foot smash into his gut…

Or would have hadn't he substituted with a long not all that far from him.

This was going to be tough… Especially if he lost against the kid…

His reputation would sure as hell get a hit after this.

"Kakashi… Your kinda boring me out, honestly? No jutsu? No ultimate secret finishing move? I know you're holding back so you can test me, but if you really had to resort to the sharingan you got, then you should actually attempt to fight properly." Spoke Naruto as his eyes followed Kakashi's movement up within the trees before falling back onto the ground, standing a few metres away from Naruto with a small smile riding up across his face.

"Now, now… I do see that you have a point there, but who knows? I could have pulled out my sharingan to scare the cute little Genin I'm fighting against." Replied Kakashi, his eyes shifting into a set of eye smiles as he spoke.

His response? A very disturbed Naruto who lifted a single hand sign up towards his chest.

"Yeah… No… That's to disturbing for me… So I'm just going to do this… Fire style: Great fire annihilation!" Shouted Naruto as his chest expanded for a moment before the teen spewed forth a massive wave of flames, something that had the audience agape as their jaws dropped.

Kakashi was among them as he quickly ran through a set of handsign's.

"Water style: Water wall!" Responded Kakashi as a torrent of water shot out from his mouth before forming a solid wall of water in front of him, of which soon met the flames head on in a clash for supremacy… And not moments after did the water wall he create falter, the flames destroying the water jutsu at an extraordinary rate.

Gritting his teeth behind the mask, the Jonin quickly ran through another set of handsign's before suddenly sinking into the earth, dodging the flame Naruto spewed forth.

However, when he did so, Naruto let out a wide grin before jumping into the air, where he then went through another hand sign.

"Fire style: Earth scorcher!" Shouted the teen with a wide grin as he held his hands together in front of his chest, where he began to infuse fire chakra between his palms.

Few seconds later, the teen held a small ball of flames, no bigger than a marble before flinging it towards the area Kakashi was hiding under the earth.

And when the small ball made contact, it exploded, sending condensed flames all around the area it had hit, burning everything, including the ground below it.

And like that, the sight of Kakashi's body exploding from the earth appeared, his form heavily sweating from the heat he was under before he darted through the earth's surface before landing out of the hot zone.

Landing into a crouch, the teen grinned while placing his palm onto the floor.

"Earth style: Mud dragon!" Grinned out Naruto, sending forth two twin dragons out form the ground as their dark brown coloured bodies charged towards Kakashi, who was known charging towards them before using their bodies as a way to move towards Naruto, of which stood himself up before clapping his hands together, his crimson eyes still locked onto Kakashi's form as it dodged and weaved the two mud dragons that broke into pieces once they smashed into the ground and disappeared.

"Had enough Kakashi! Because I'm just getting started! Wind style: Gale palm!" Roared Naruto as a torrent of wind rippled through the area, sending the mid-air Kakashi back before raising his fingers to his mouth.

"You're really unpredictable you know! Fire style: Dragon flame bomb!" Shouted Kakashi through the harsh winds, sending a flaming dragon soaring towards Naruto, tearing through the wind he had created before growing in size.

Naruto could only blink before rushing through two handsign's before slapping his hands together once again.

"Water style: Water dragon!" Returned Naruto as he sent chakra into the handsign's… Which resulted in the fully formed water dragon that appeared from thin air, of which wrapped itself around Naruto's form, taking the damage from Kakashi's attack, leaving a mist surrounding the teen.

Seeing this, Kakashi narrowed his sharingan eye as he began to focus on his environment, before suddenly sending a spinning backhand to the air behind him, where the image of Naruto's now crouching form greeted him with a grin… Before disappearing in a flash, blinding the man and his sharingan for a moment before feeling the first of the young teen drill into his gut, sending him into a hunched position before an elbow made contact against his nose sending him back against the ground in a skid, before quickly catching Naruto's follow up charge… Only to feel the Naruto in his grasp disappear in a puff of smoke.

Rubbing his eyes quickly, the man only had a moment to witness the image of the world before suddenly being enveloped in an eternal darkness that spanned all around him once again.

"Don't worry Kakashi… This Time it's Only a genjutsu" Spoke Naruto's eerily distorted tone, of which Kakashi identified before blocking a strike to his head, before sending his own strike into thin air, or what he thought was thin air before the sound of another puff told him what was happening.

"This control, this amount, this skill… This isn't possible! He used jutsu well over B-rank over and over, with no break and is able to utilise genjutsu, fuinjutsu and taijutsu efficiently to a point I'm struggling…. I have to end this soon, I'm going to run out of chakra if I keep it going like this…" Thought the man as he sent an electrical burst out of his body, causing Naruto, who was in close proximity, to release the genjutsu before jumping back, giving the two some distance with Kakashi's sharingan eye staring into Naruto's own eye.

"Got you know! Sharingan: Genjutsu." Thought Kakashi with an internal smirk… Before widening his eye as a large surge of pain struck his sharingan eye.

Grasping his eye with his left hand, Kakashi returned his sight on Naruto's form, of which hadn't moved the slightest…

Aside from the widening grin the teen had…

"Kakashi-san! Let's finish this off with a final jutsu clash!" Shouted Naruto's voice, reaching Kakashi's ears as he lowered his left hand back besides his body where he began to pump chakra throughout his body before giving the teen a nod.

"Very well… However, I hope for your case you surrender right now Naruto." Replied Kakashi in a serious tone, before he blitzed through a set of handsign's once again, before clutching his right wrist, where the sight of a sparking and enveloped hand greeted Naruto, of whom simply widened his smirk even wider.

As for everyone else? They were all gaping, their eyes widening and their hearts thumping as the saw the jutsu in Kakashi's hand.

But, before anyone could call out for Kakashi to stop his jutsu, the man charged, his hand sparking all over the place as he charged towards Naruto, who followed his example, running towards Kakashi with a wide smile.

And as they charged, Kakashi was sweating, his eyes were dropping from exhaustion, and yet, across from him, Naruto continued to charge, his form seemingly perfect aside from slight cuts on his clothes.

And as the two neared each other, Naruto lifted his hand up besides his head, before sending chakra into it…

And like that, his jutsu formed. Drawing another silent gasp from those watching, including Kakashi… Before it changed once more, the orb, which was a brilliant shade of pure white, already differing from the usual blue colouring, suddenly gained small amounts of wind around it, before slowly, ever so slowly, it was encased within a shuriken like shape of wind.

And as the two neared each other, this hearts being audible to their own ears, the two clashed.

"RAKIRI!"

"WIND STYLE: RASENGAN!"

(Hokage tower)

"Impossible…"

"Well I'll be dammed…"

(With Kushina and co.)

"Show off."

"Dobe."

"No way…"

"How…"

"Naruto…."

(With Kakashi and Naruto)

BANG! The jutsu's clashed, their forms pushing against each other as they fought over each other for dominance, the spiralling orb, fighting against the condensed form of lightning.

But alas, like with the natures, wind beats lightning, and that's what happened here as the rasengan tore through the jutsu of the Jonin, leaving him defenceless as he watched Naruto's white orb nearing his face.

Closing his eyes, the Jonin accepted his fate, he knew there was nothing for him to do…

At least, that's what he thought before he suddenly felt his face impacting against a fist, sending him backwards and onto his back with his eyes shut.

"That was awesome Kakashi-sensei… Let's do that again sometime." Chuckled out a calm voice, only distorted slightly by the sound of wind crackling around the air.

Kakashi, opening his eyes and looking towards Naruto's grinning face as he was bathed with light, simply gave a thumbs up before shutting his eyes once more, his mind shutting down as he passed out.

Seeing this, whilst standing above Kakashi's form, Naruto turned towards his audience, before letting a smile take its form.

"Well… What do you think Kushina?"

And that's it. Sorry for taking so long, but hey…
