Konoha's Second Yellow Flash
Author's Note : Hello again, looks like things aren't going too badly, as people are showing interesting in how this is going, so thanks for the reviews for far. Not too many specific things yet, but to answer the question that I'm sure some of you share with Darksnider05, Yugito truly doesn't look much older than Naruto when she appeared in canon before she was captured and killed. So predictably, she's one of Naruto's girlfriends. As for how old Yuuki is, I didn't specify other than saying that he looked like a younger Minato with minor differences. The thing is, he was 16 during the time of the Kyuubi attack, so he's actually fairly young, as was his brother before he died. So now adding on the 12 years, that would make him only 28, not terribly old to catch the eyes of the older women in the continuity. As for who else I pair our two main characters with, you'll have to wait and see. Until then, keep on R & R-ing, thanks!
Chapter 3 : Genin Exam Part 1, Closet Pervert Bashing and the Claws of the Kitten
Konoha Ninja Academy, Hallway Outside a Classroom
As children began to gather into the class for their genin exam, kids that saw were surprised when two columns of swirling leaves and one of flames suddenly appeared. After staring for a few moments, the kids shrugged as they continued to walk in and sit down while beginning to chat about various things, but especially of the three unfamiliar people.
The trio entered the room and were greeted by Iruka and Mizuki, who had a look and surprise turned into disdain as he recognized the village's 'demon' by his whiskers. Naruto noticed the glare and returned one of his own without much attempt, not wanting his killing intent to cover the room. Iruka, not noticing this, asked as he recognized the Proto Flash. "Ah, Namikaze-sama! What brings you here to our academy?"
Yuuki had a slight vein showing, annoyed at the choice of formality that he was greeted by again as he answered, "Damn it Iruka, I know it's been a while, but I told you not to call me that. It's Yuuki, YUUKI! Now as for why I'm here, my nephew here's got permission to take the exam with all the kiddies here since he's been away on a training trip with me for the past nine years. Here's a note by the old man." With that, he handed Iruka said note.
The two chunnin were shocked at hearing that the demon container of the Kyuubi was none other than the nephew of arguably the strongest shinobi in the village. Iruka stuttered out, "Yo-your nephew? But wouldn't that make him-?"
Yuuki's look of annoyance changed to a bored one and replied, "Yes Captain Obvious, he's Minato's son. Now are you going to let him sit down and start this thing or am I here to collect dust?"
Iruka snapped out of his stupor and said, "O-of course." Turning to the class, he spoke slightly more loudly, "All right class, today it looks like we have one more student that will be joining us in taking the exam. Naruto, why don't you introduce yourself before finding yourself a seat?"
A familiar Inuzuka that we all know asked rudely, "What the hell? Why did he have to see through years in the academy when this new kid just gets to walk in here and take the exam with us?"
Iruka and Naruto were about to retort when Yuuki cut in sarcastically, "Two reasons gaki. One, he has Sandaime-jiji's permission. And if that's not enough for you, he learnt all the baby stuff you all know from me already. My name's Namikaze Yuuki by the way, what's yours tough guy?"
Kiba's face immediately paled at hearing that the newcomer was trained by none other than the Proto Flash himself, whom he has just offended and put his head back down. The children of the class had various reactions. The future members of Rookie 9 had looks of intrigue to indifference. A certain Uchiha's top 1-2 fangirls looked at Naruto for a second. The pink-haired banshee right away looked back at Sasuke, thinking nobody was better than 'her Sasuke-kun' while the fellow blonde had a slight blush on her face before turning back to the Uchiha herself, thinking that there's new fresh meat on the market so to speak. The rest of the males in the class looked interested while the fangirls had hearts or stars in their eyes, ogling at either or both of the Namikaze duo. At that Yugito's eye twitched a bit in annoyance. Said Hyuuga had the expected reaction, blushing and beginning to push her forefingers together.
Naruto showed his trademark foxy grin and said vibrantly, "My name is Namikaze Naruto, nice to meet you!" With that, he just walked to the nearest seat and sat down. Yuuki asked Iruka if he minded while he and Yugito watched the exam, which he prompted replied no. The students began to line up, and it went as usual until it ended with our hero.
"Naruto, please perform the Kawarimi-(Body Replacement Technique)" Before Iruka said anything more, Naruto disappeared in a poof, with a kunai dropped to the ground where he was and him back in his seat already. Naruto asked, "Sorry sensei, you were saying?" Out of his stupor, Iruka resumed asking, "Y-yes, please perform the Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique) of the Hokage and three Bunshin (Clone)."
Without raising his hands, sounds of poof appeared and the room was filled with 30 Narutos. The two chunnin had their jaws dropped, and the clones were gone from the room as quickly as they appeared. Naruto then said, "Prepare yourselves senseis. Henge!" Out came a naked woman like the one Naruto changed into in anime episode 1 or the first chapter of the manga, and the two chunnins had predictable nosebleeds, flying back and on their backs, knocked out. His uncle and girlfriend stifling their chuckles, Naruto walked up to the desk and grabbed a hitai-ate (forehead protector), and the three shunshined out of the classroom, leaving the class in stupor.
Hokage's Office, Midnight
Mizuki was entering through the window as quietly as he could. Just as he was reaching for the Forbidden Scroll, the lights turned on and he found himself surrounded by the Hokage and the Namikaze duo.
Naruto turned to his uncle and asked, "Aniki, looks like Ero-sennin's (Perverted Hermit, if you don't know who Naruto means, you're an idiot) lead was true eh?"
Yuuki nodded with a smirk on his face and said, "And the idiot had the nerve to glare at you too. Serves him right. Well you're out of your league, what're you going to do now traitor?"
Mizuki pulled out a small vial of strange fluid, which was immediately knocked out of his hands and shattered by a kunai when he found Naruto already behind him, kunai by his neck. Sarutobi said, "Well done Naruto. Would you be so kind as to bring Mizuki to Ibiki's office while I get a sample of the fluid he dropped? Other than that, you're dismissed. I'll transfer your mission pay into your bank accounts, good night." The Namikaze duo nodded as they put each put a hand on Mizuki's shoulders and shunshined out of the room.
Hokage's Office, a Few Hours Later
Having just gotten her new forehead protector and taking photos with Naruto, Yugito and the Namikaze duo were about to leave the old man's office when said Hokage's grandson yelled, "Jiji! I challenge you, today I'll be taking your place!" With that, the boy charged at the old man, tripping on his scarf not 2 seconds later and face planted on the office floor, causing raised eyebrows from the four.
He stood up right away and pointed at the other three standing, yelling, "You tripped me!" Naruto chuckled before replying, "Uh, no. You tripped on your scarf that's hanging too long on the side of your body?" Konohamaru was about to retort when a jonin in and all black outfit wearing a pair of sunglasses walked in and called out, "Honorable grandson! What are you doing? Please don't hurt yourself!"
Recognizing the man, Yuuki greeted, "Hey it's closet pervert! How's it hanging?" Ebisu facevaulted as he immediately recognized the only man to have ever called him that. He got up and said, "Yuuki-sama, please don't call me by such false and vulgar terms. My name is Ebisu." Yuuki smirked as he retorted, "We'll see about that." With that said, the room is suddenly filled with naked brunettes that looked like a certain female lead of Love Hina (This one's for you Naru fans!) . The said pervert received a major nosebleed attack and passed out, as did the Sandaime. Seeing what the expected aftermath after changing back, Yuuki scoffed, "Che, amateurs."
Konohamaru, with a look of amazement, said Yuuki, "Boss, you're really strong, beating the jiji just like that." snapping his fingers as he continued, "Can you teach me how to do that so I can become Hokage please?"
Naruto snotted at his words and said, "Oh please. That just now didn't mean anything. There's no shortcut to becoming Hokage, even if that did knock him out. If you want to become Hokage, you gotta get through me first," said our hero with a confident smirk on his face.
Hearing Naruto's words, the young boy retorted, "Hmph! Like I need any of your help anyway. I'll definitely become Hokage! From now on, we're rivals!" Naruto nodded and changed his smirk into a smile in response, and the trio shunshined out of the room again, leaving Konohamaru with a look of amazement, now more determined than ever.
Konoha Ninja Academy, the Same Spot as Yesterday
The graduate children began to file in the classroom when the same three swirls appeared outside the door again, slightly surprising the students. Naruto took the nearest seat again while Yuuki and Yugito stood waiting inside the classroom just next to the door, for Iruka to show up with the team results. Said man entered the room, not surprised to see Yuuki and Yugito again, since they were with Naruto during the exam.
He sat down, gave the same monotonous speech that nobody was paying attention to, and began announcing the teams. It kept going until they heard, "Team 7, Namikaze Naruto, Haruno Sakura, and Uchiha Sasuke, jonin instructor Hatake Kakashi." Naruto had a look of indifference on his face, not at all surprised. It made sense that he was teamed up with the so-called rookie of the year, since the only grades that he had were those from yesterday. He didn't know who the girl was, but as long as they can work decently together, he didn't care.
Iruka droned on until he was finished the list and talked some more. After he wished the new graduates good luck and left the room, jonins began to enter the room and lead the respective squads away. As only the rookie 9 were left, a pair of jonin walked in, a beautiful woman with red eyes and a certain son of the current Hokage. As they called out their respective teams to go with them, Yuuki called out and waved, "Yo Ku-chan, Asuma! It's been a while!"
Said people turned around in surprise to face the man who hasn't been in the village for the past nine years. Kurenai had a sight blush on her face while Asuma fought the frown and returned the greeting. You see, Kurenai had a major crush in the Yondaime growing up, but also a slight one in his brother. It only grew after Minato got married and years away helped. It was a fine example of time apart making the heart fonder. This also made Yuuki the #1 rival in love for Asuma as it was no secret that he had a thing for Kurenai as well. The others in the room watched in interest at the tension shown on the three's faces were fairly obvious despite their attempts to mask them.
As the two jonin were about to lead their respective squads off, Yuuki asked, "Hey, how about a night out at the usual place this Saturday? Our old group hasn't gotten together in a while!" Kurenai could only nod as the shade of red on her face only became darker, giving Hinata a run for her money while Asuma reluctantly agreed, knowing that Yuuki meant well asking for a group gathering to reacquaint themselves with one another. At the exit, the only ones remaining were Team 7, Yuuki and Yugito.
Knowing the lazy shinobi's habits after he was introduced to by his brother, Yuuki stood up and said, "Lazy mophead's at it again. I'll go and get him. Hold on all right?" Not knowing what the man meant, only Yugito and Naruto nodded as their trainer went to get the loyal fan of the writing of a certain super pervert. About 5 minutes later, Yuuki appeared with Kakashi with a shunshin, one of his hand holding Kakashi by the top of his shirt, holding him like a clothes hanger as he quipped, "You idiot. Go wallow anytime you want, but not while you have an appointment with my nephew's team."
After Yuuki dropped him, Kakashi, with no choice, first said, "The first impression I have you guys is that… I hate you." immediately earning a whack in the head by Yuuki. After telling the team to meet him on the roof, he disappeared in a shunshin along with the trio, leaving the other two prospective genin that didn't know how to use the technique. Sasuke began to walk up to the roof, wondering how his fellow blonde teammate knew shunshin when he didn't, with Sakura behind him following like a puppy.
On the roof of the building, Kakashi was surprised when he saw the two jinchurikis and not only Yuuki already here and asked, "I'm surprised that you taught Naruto shunshin already Yuuki. And who is the young lady?"
Yugito answered, "Nii Yugito, prospective Konoha-nin at your service. I believe you and a few other jonin will be testing me for my rank later today?"
Kakashi smiled, nodded and said, "I see. So you're one of Naruto's girlfriends. I look forward to seeing what you can do. So is there another reason why you and Yuuki are here?"
Yuuki replied, "For Yugito, not really after today unless she's assigned a mission with any of us. As for me, he's officially my apprentice, so wherever he goes, I go. Don't get me wrong though, he's more than capable of defending himself."
Kakashi raised his only showing eyebrow as he said, "I'd imagine so, seeing as he survived 9 years with you. I'll have to see for myself tomorrow." Just as he finished that sentence, the other half of Team 7 finally showed up and took their seats.
Kakashi then began to ask the team to introduce themselves. After asked by Sakura to do himself as an example, he began by saying, "My name is Hatake Kakashi. I like many things, and I don't particularly dislike anything. My hobbies and dreams… are none of your business."
Two of the three prospective genin thought 'All we learned was his name.' when Naruto cut in and said, "Don't worry about it. Anything he likes has to do with that porn in little orange books that a super pervert writes like the one he's holding anyway." With that said, he, Yuuki and Yugito had smug looks on their faces, knowing an important trait of his already from reading that garbage.
"Okay Blondie, tell us about yourself."
Naruto changed his smirk to a foxy grin and replied, "My name is Namikaze Naruto. I like ramen, training and people who acknowledge me for who I am, K-chan and Yugito-chan." Hearing that, Yugito blushed. "I don't like people who can't see past their own hatred and hate others for something out of their control and the 3 minutes of waiting that it takes to cook ramen. My hobbies are ramen, training and hanging out with my girlfriends." Yugito blushed again, with the female fox inside Naruto doing the same. "My dreams are to become Hokage and make everybody in the village acknowledge me and have a big family."
Kakashi thought, 'Not what I expected, but then it HAS been 9 years.' "Very good Naruto, you're next pinkie."
Sakura screeched with a vein showing on her huge forehead before she began, "My name is Haruno Sakura. I like stare at Sasuke, I dislike Ino-pig! My hobbies are stare at Sasuke, and my dream is…" she finished by staring at Sasuke one more time with a blush and giggled.
Everybody else sweatdropped at the same time as they all thought, 'A fangirl, terrific.' Kakashi pointed at Sasuke and said, "You're next."
Sasuke began with his hands connected together like a bridge with his elbows on his legs (Think the trademark of Mr. Burns in Simpsons) and said in a brooding tone, "My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I don't like many things and I dislike many things. I don't have hobbies. My dream… which is more of an ambition, is to kill a certain man."
Sakura thought 'Sasuke-kun is so cool!' while everybody else were thinking of one name, 'Itachi, figures.'
Kakashi then gave the quick speech about the real exam and passing rates, with expected reactions from two of Team 7. Naruto looked indifferent since he was taught enough to know the point of the so-called 'true exam.' After being 'advised' not to eat breakfast, those able to shunshined left, leaving Sasuke, who walked off with the usual scowl on his face while Sakura followed him to try and ask him out again.
The four who just left the school roof via shunshin reappeared on a training field, where already waiting were the two older Sarutobis, Kurenai and a man in green spandex. They all shuddered at a glance of Gai, who just gave them his trademark 'nice guy' pose, thumbs up, sparkling smile and all. The Sandaime coughed as he said, "Good, everybody's here. I've gathered you here today in a rather impromptu fashion in order to give a quick evaluation in consideration of making a recently defected kunoichi by the name of Nii Yugito join the jonin ranks, by the recommendation of Namikaze Yuuki."
The jonin other than Kakashi had looks of slight surprise as they took a first glance at the young woman Yuuki recommended. Young ninja of high ranks were not unheard of, with former examples made by such as missing-nin Uchiha Itachi and the porn-reading pervert himself, but females were less common. The three along the same line of thought were eager to see for themselves what Yugito was capable of.
Kakashi was the first one up to test her ninjutsu. Kakashi seemed to be just standing there, still looking at his choice of reading while waiting to see Yugito's first move. Strangely enough, said woman's first move was slightly wiggling of her body, making her breasts juggle a bit. At the suggestive sight, he had what seemed to be a perverted look on his face when all of a sudden came a sharp sensation of pain in his sacred temple. The next thing the others saw was Yugito with a smug look of satisfaction while Kakashi had his hands in the area of his family jewels while doubled over the ground in pain. A poof showed that what Kakashi thought was Yugito was a Kage Bunshin. What our gray-haired pervert failed to notice was that the bunshin's breasts were slightly bigger than the original, meaning it was in combination with a weak version of Naruto's Oiroke no Jutsu (Sexy Technique).
The Sarutobis had thoughts of sympathy on their minds, thinking that could've been them but were impressed with how swiftly Kakashi was dealt with, with a combination of a jonin and another technique of unknown level, taking advantage of the mophead's weakness. Yuuki and Naruto were surprised that Yugito would use a technique that some would consider degrading to females, while Kurenai was unsure of who to be angrier at, Kakashi for being a pervert or Yugito for resorting to tactics that she found insulting to women.
Kurenai was up next to test her in the area of genjutsu. Before it began, Yuuki only uttered the words aloud, "Go easy on her." Not wasting anytime, the red-eyes beauty did a set of hand seals fairly quickly, and Yugito began to notice vines seemingly coming out of the ground, ready to capture and immobilize her. She didn't make the slightest movement however other than turning back in Kurenai's direction. Said jonin was about to put a kunai around her neck, ending the match when all of a sudden, she felt like she was stunned all over as images of beating, bondage and torture flashed across her mind, dropping to her knees as tears appear out of her eyes. Yugito then proceeded to cut herself free with a kunai and extended her hand out for Kurenai, who accepted and use the leverage to stand back up, the match seemingly over.
Only then did Kurenai understand that Yuuki was speaking to her opponent and not herself, who then asked, "What was that you used on me?" Yugito calmly replied, "Nothing really, the moment our eyes met, I just used a technique that only I can use to show you some of my past memories."
Shocked at the horror that she saw was actually real, Kurenai couldn't help but wonder who Yugito was as she turned around and said to the Sandaime, "She passes."
With a nod of acceptance, Asuma walked up as he was next to test her in prowess in battles with weapons and elemental affinity. As Kurenai walked back to where the others were watching the fights, Yuuki put one of his hands on her shoulders, giving her a smile of reassurance. The kunoichi returned a weak smile of her own before returning to her thoughts at what she saw. He took up his chakra knifes and put them around his knuckles, chakra showing as he took a stance, ready to start the moment Yugito was ready.
The blonde heroine took out of a storage scroll what seemed to be a pair of metal claws and proceeded to fit them around the backsides of her hands. A slight red glow appeared on the claws while she bundled her fingers up in the form of fists. The two charged at each other as the match began.
It seemed to be a stalemate as the two's blows went back and forth, cuts in their clothing and only small scratches on their bodies as they read each other's movements pretty well. The next thing the others saw was Asuma's blade in the right knuckle making contact at the skin in Yugito's left hand that connected the hand with the fingers. Yugito winced at a clear trail of blood began to slowly appear.
Asuma was smiling a bit, thinking he was finally gaining the upper hand as he asked, "Looks like you're about at your limit huh? Getting careless being hit where you hold your weapon." Yugito, however, despite the pain from being cut by a wind chakra blade in an area of sensitive joints, smirked as she retorted, "Maybe, but sometimes it's about taking the first hit."
Asuma, who was confused by her statement when he noticed the claws of Yugito's right hand inches away from his heart. The test match over, Asuma said, "I forfeit. She passes in both areas."
As Asuma walked back to where the spectators were, the few scratches that he had on him with a smidge of burnt smell, Yuuki looked proud while Naruto cheered loudly for his girlfriend. Yugito smiled warmly at the praise of her love despite the pain on her hand. Gai was the next up to test her taijutsu (hand-to-hand combat), as he put on his usual Gouken (Strong Fist) stance. Yugito took the claws off and pocketed them while a slight red blot of chakra appeared her bloody cut and began to heal her wounds. Immediately after that, she took a stance of what seemed to belong to most brawlers. Regardless, Gai charged forward, the match begun.
Unlike the previous fights that Yugito ended fairly quickly, the match with Gai seemed a bit one-sided, as Gai was easily pushing the kunoichi back, with signs of fatigue beginning to show on her face. What wasn't all that apparent but happening however, was slight burning pain on Gai's arms and legs wherever he used to land a blow. As Gai landed every blow, which did have an effect on Yugito, there was a always a slight glowing layer of red chakra to soften the blows and burn Gai's skin. All of a sudden, Yugito seemed to have dropped out of sight. Gai wanted to wait to see where she was before resorting to open any gates.
What happened next surprised all but the Hokage and the Namikazes. All the spectators saw was Yugito behind Gai, her right arm holding Gai's own right while her left hand was in a chop position by his neck while she was standing on the back of taijutsu specialist's upper thighs. The fight's result decided, the blonde let go of the man in spandex and jumped off him and he leaped back to his feet as well. Gai turned around and asked Yugito, "So that WAS a burst of chakra I saw. Does that mean that you're able to open the Hachimon (Eight Gates) as well?"
The kunoichi smiled sheepishly as she answered, "Well, something like that." The man with a head of bowl-shaped hair said to the Hokage, "Her style was interesting, taking blows in an attempt to wear down the enemy before moving in for the kill, but risky as well to an opponent such as myself. If not for that burst of chakra, I would've had her. Regardless, she passes."
Yuuki looked at Gai and said, "Not bad Gai, but not entirely true. You see, she also has things slowing her down, if you know what I mean."
Fire began to appear in the energetic jonin and he started to speak loudly, "YOSH! IT SEEMS THAT YUGITO-SAN'S FLAMES OF YOUTH ARE BURNING BRIGHTLY UNDER YOUR GUIDANCE! I MUST TRAIN MYSELF EVEN HARDER IN THE NAME OF YOUTH TO KEEP UP!"
The others cringed at Gai's behavior and volume level as he spoke, especially the older Namikaze as he replied, "Yeah sure Gai, let's just make our next spar another time all right? I'm kind of tired, and I want to face you at my best." The fire in Gai's eyes looked even bigger as he charged off to continue his inhuman training regimen, a huge trail of dust behind him.
The group sighed in relief of Gai's exit, Yuuki literally exclaimed "Whew!" as he saw Gai leave. Sarutobi smiled warmly and said, "Well after hearing the jonin each passing you with satisfaction with the skill you've shown today, I declare you, Nii Yugito from this moment on to be a jonin." With that, he handed a tired but happy Yugito a jonin vest.
The test over, everybody said their goodbyes and shunshined away. Naruto in particular would try to get some rest tonight for the test tomorrow while Yugito would try rather aggressively for the 'reward' of her hard work from her love before bedtime.
