Well, I'm back at 3am, three hours before I'm supposed to shower and get ready for my 40min drive to school. Let's go!

Yes, that was Those Who Hunt Elves, the second set as a matter in fact. I think the princess was a dog in the first, but in the second series she transformed into a panda. "Forgive me for stripping you!" Sounds very hentai-ish, but it is not...sigh.

Ok, A few notes. Well, someone sid that they were confused with the time laspes, with how I had the students start the acadamy at age twelve. I am sorry mysterious stranger, but they started at six. I started chapter two at age 12, the end of thier final year at the acadamy. Naruto then fell asleep and dreamt of the past, first of the beginning then of the start of jutsu training. Not sure how someone can be confused by this, but ok.

On the first: I figured that his attacks fell under Earth or something. He does use Mukodon (wood based) jutsus. I'll fix it eventually.

OK, start!


It was the day after graduation, and Naruto, Saskue, And Sakura were waiting for thier new sensei. It was already three hours late, and Naruto started to come up with differant senarios in which made thier nsensei late.

"Oh, I bet that an enamy ninja army is attacking and he is going to single handedly beat them all up!" Sasuke kept on ignoring the dead last baka while Sakura yelled at him.

"Naruto, will you shut up! You're annoying Sasuke-kun!"

"But Sakura-chan! I'm bored! I can't help it!" He started to jump up and down like any other sicx year old child would. Of course he was twelve, but he was bored damn it!

"You don't see Sasuke complaining!" Inner Sakura gave a yell 'But he is taking forever!' "If you were strong like him, then you wouldn't have time to be bored or complain." With that, she took a rather large fan and smacked him on the head. He yelped in pain, rubbing his head, before getting an idea.

"That's it! Thanks Sakura-chan!" He sat down and closed his eyes. He looked to be meditating, but his face kept on scrunching up in frustration and boredom.

"What are you doing?" Sakura asked in annoyance.

"I'm training! But you can join me if you want." Susuke raised an eyebrow with Naruto's responce as if to say 'You need as much training you can get to even stay alive baka'

"No thanks! If you were like Sasuke-kun, then you wouldn't have to train. He was better than you are now by the time the acadamy started. The young Uchia resumed ignoring the conversation. Slowly, the air became stifle as Naruto's meditation took place. Under normal meditation, one would enter some tranquil place in thier mind, like a beach or grassy feild. However, the Kyuubi/Arashi vessle went into sewers in his mind. He walked around for a bit, making to the center faster than last time. He seemed to of appeared closer to the cage than before.

"Yo Gaurdian! You know any moves that would make me stronger?" The gaurdian sighed. No 'hello, how are ya doin?' or 'How is the seal holding?' But 'Make me stronger!' The gaurdian looked at the boy.

"Yes, and no. Remember the bunshins you made yesterday? Well, they re similer to the kage Bunshin" He made a seal and performed the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, so that three Gaurdians were infront of the boy. "While the bunshin makes ghosts, kage bunshin makes real clones." The middle one spoke as the one on the right lightly punched naruto's head. ":However, with very little force, " The Gaurdian punched one kage bunshin on the left, which dissipeared in a 'poof' "And the jutsu is dispelled. However, the clones you made yesterday had enopugh chakra so that they were soli, butt not enough to be true kage bunshin. With the right manipulation, you could make certain parts of it solid while the rest uhh, ghosty." He figured that it would be the easiest term for Naruto to understand. "Just remember, that it must be made like a bunshin, then reneforced. And if you make differant parts solid, chakra pathways must exist rather than just strings." Naruto cocked his head in a confused manner.

"OK, try this' The Gaurdian pulled down a diagram or a human outline with movining lines in it. "With normal humans and kage bunshins, the person has a chakra circulatory system to move chakra through the body and out of the 251 tenketsus, or chakra holes." Naruto nodded, getting all of this so far. "With the bunshin, chakra strings are created, or rather created during the jutsu to help stabalize the jutsu. Of course it can be taken out to save chakra, but it is so minute that it is worthless unless your reserves are so small or you are doing a lot at once. Now, with most people, the center of thier chakra is at thier heart, while you also have your seal here." He pointed to the stomach on the chart." This would be ideal for you to focus chakra there in your bunshins as most people aim for the heart or chest. Now, lets say that you want the head and feet to be solid while the rest wasn't." He turned a page to show chakra pathways leading from the stomach to the head and feet while strings branched out to the rest of the area. "It will take a while to get, butwith excellent chakra control, you can do it.

"Chakra control?" The Gaurdian flipped another page revealing a picture of chibi gaurdian and chibi Naruto

"Ok, lets say you have ten chakra, and a move needs three. So that means that you can do it three times with some to spare. How ever, with bad chakra control, you may need to use five or even six to pull off that same move, and it may not even be good." He flipped to a picture of them doing bunshin with little bars under them. The gaurdian's bar was split into three 30 percent section with a green part behind it. Naruto's had a red bar the lenght of The Gaurdians red and green bar combines, plus a little more purple, symboling wasted/depleted chakra.

"Of course" The Gaurdian took naruto's attention away from the chart "This can be fixed with proper control exersises. Like wall climbing and water walking."

"Wall, climbing? How does that help?"

"Simple" The Gaurdian walked to the wall and walked up it, as if he was still on level ground. "Just put enough chakra on your feet to stick to the fall. It is often learned on trees due to the height and ease of marking progress. Well, it's time to meet your sensei. I see that Kakashi is still late. Remember, three genin and one leader, no more, no less." The world started to warp as he was bought back to reality with fresh ideas, though perplexed by the last sentance.

"Naruto looked around the room. The clock said that a little over forty minutes had passed. Sakura gave him a dirty look for whatever reason, and Sasuke looked frozen, having not moved an inch since this morning. Did they guy ever go to the bathroom or anything? He stood up as the door opened.

"You're late!" Sakyura yelled. KLakashi was about to give his excuse when Naruto interupted with his wild theory.

"So how many were there Kakashi-sensei?" remembering what The Gaurdian said.He ignored the inquisitive stares from the three about knowing his name. "I bet there were hundreds, no thousands!" Kakashi simply smiled

"Nope, just one, but that mime put me through quiet a maze of invisable walls." Naruto and Sakura fell to the floor while Sasuke, better at not displaying emotions, smacked his head on the desk. Ignoring his studnets' reaction, he continued. "Let's have a quick meeting on the roof and then we get on to buisness." He smiled and disapeared in a cloud of smoke. The three looked at each other and ran upstairs where thier jounin sensei awaited.

"Ok., first, introduce yourselves. Include your dreams, ambitions, goals, likes, etc. That way we can get to know our team better." He smiled under his mask, the lone visiable eye turning to an upside down 'U'. Sakura spoke first

"Uhh, could you start? That way we know what you are like and how it's done." He shrugged and stated his stuff.

"Name is Hatake Kakashi, many likes and dislikes. No real dreams or goals, nothing interesting. Uchia, youre turn." Sasuke narrowed his eyes.

"Don't like much, dislike many things, including you. You seem to piss me off for some reason. One thing I will do before I die, kill a certain man, no matter what." 'interesting...' The silver haired jounin thought as he looked at Sakura.

"Pinky?" The kunoichi to be glared at him for a bit before introducing herself.

"My name is Haruno Sakura. I like..." glances at Sasuke "My goals and dreams are... "glances at Sasuke again, giggling. "And I dislike Naruto." She said it coldly. Naruto stared at her dumbfounded. What did he ever do to her? He only asked her out every week. She begged Sasuke at least ten times a day, and he flat out ignores her.Should he even bother. He looked at her, closely. Yeah, he should, for now. Kakashi looked at Naruto, waiting for him to start. Naruto saw that it was his turn, and introduced himself. Again, he did it in Naruto fashion, very very loudly.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto! Twelve years old, i will beat old man Hokage and become the Godamine!I love ramne, but hate waiting for the water to boil sometimes" his tone died down. "I also hate, being judged and praised for what I am, rather than who..." he looked a little sad for a moment, then stood up and yelled towards the hokage tower. "I'll beat you someday old man! Just wait and see!" If he were in the tower, he'd hear a very old man chuckle at a young boy's determination. The other three had differnt thoughts to Naruto.

'Hmm, it seems that he does know of the Fourth, but I wonder if he knows the reason.' came from Kakashi.

'What? What does he mean by what he is? What is he?' Sasuke thought, in conjunction to how he passed in the first place.

'What a loud idiot.' Yup, that was Sakura judging him.

"Well, now that that is over with, let's get down to buisness.Tommorow, 6AM sharp, meet me at training area 14 for your final test." All three looked confused. Were'nt they genin? They had the forehead potecter to prove it. "No, not yet are you genin. Out of the twenty seven students, only nine is allowd to pass. So basicly, unless my math is wrong (Which i just noticed now that it is), One of you isn't going to pass. Two of team seven thought Naruto, while the third(naruto, tried to find a hidden meaning beneath all of this. Something was off, and he could tell .The three were waiting for some sort of reaction from the 'dead-last'. All they saw was a blonde with red highlights thinking very deeply of what was going on. Kakashi knew what he was thinking, and decided to wrap it up quick before any questions were asked.

"Remember, 6AM, and don't eat, you'll probolly throw it up. Any questions?" But as soon as he asked he poofed away, leaving the three to fend for themselves.

"Sasuke-kun, do you-" the pink haired girl started before being shut down, again.

"No" He started to leave before being stopped by someone he didn't expect.

"Yo teme."

Baka" It was more of an acknowledment than anything else.

"I want to test some stuff out, care for a spar." He looked serious, untill 'Grrr urgle' His stomach growled. "Err, after lunch first. Didn't eat breakfast." Sasuke scoffed at him and walked home.

"Baka" Naruto turned to Sakura.

"Sakura-chan? Want to grab lunch then do some training? Get to know each other's fighting style." Despite his seriousness, she looked about to laugh.

"Why? You're gonna be kicked out in the test tommorrow. You should just give up." She chased after Sasuke as Naruto got a little angry. Why did everyone have to treat him like that. To the older generation, he wasn't Uzumaki Naruto, he was the Gaurdian. To his classmates, he was nothing but dead last, unable to improve or get strong. Didn't he pass the test? Didn't anyone feel his chakra. He just wanted some recognation as Uzumaki Naruto. He'll show them, he'll be stronger than all of the Hokage's combimed. he turned to the rest of Konoha.

"I AM UZUMAKI NARUTO, NO ONE ELSE! I WILL SURPASS ALL THE HOKAGES AND BECOME THE STRONGEST! YOU HEAR ME! I AM U-ZU-MA-KI NARUTO!" Nearly all of Konoha heard his little outburst and wondered why he was so angry. Even Saklura and Sasuke went back up to check on him. All they saw was a blur heading to the training grounds. Shrugging it off, they went home.

Next Morning

It was early in the morning, 5:50AM to be exact, and Sasuke and Sakura arrived at nearly the same time. Apparently they had the same idea of not being late. When they got there, they were shocked. It looked like a massacer place. Blood was everywhere. And in the middle was Naruto, in the same clothes he wore yesterday, but torn and bloodsoaked. They rushed to his aid.

"Naruto!" They cried in unison. Sakura believed he was dead. Sasuke had doubts, however as he noticed a faint rise in his chest. "Naruto!" sakura cried. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to be so cold to you. Please wake up. If you do, then, I'll buy you ramen." With Sakura saying the magic word, Naruto bolted up.

"Ramen!" He looked at Sakura, hearing every word she said. Instead of a happy relieved Sakura, he saw a very angry Sakura.

"Naruto! I thought you were dead. I'm going to kill you damn it!" She reached her fist back and swung it hard into his face. He flew fast and landed in a tree, hard. They heard various sickening cracks. Naruto fell over in pain, tears glistening in his eyes.

"Damn it Sakura! The hell you do that for!" Retort in hand, Sakura approached Naruto ready with another punch. As she got closer, she releaised that his arm wasn't supposed to bend that wy, neither was his leg, nor the rest of him for that matter. He was bent where he wasn't supposed to bend and joints twisted too far for normal lmitations.She looked at him in horror. She didn't mean to punch him that hard. Sasuke was astounded at the way Naruto was. Something happened to make him like that, was it from his training? With great pain, he set his bones and joints back together with sounds that would make most non-shinobi cringe. Back in one peice, he yelled for help.

"Oy, Sasuke-teme! Mind giving me a hand here? Help me over to Ichiraku's. I havn't eaten in over thirty hours." Sasuke smirked. Though he intended to help, he wanted to give the dobe some trouble.

"Do it yourself." He approached, gainng new respect for the dobe.

"Fine, screw you then!" grumbling he, slowly and painfully got up. "Damn it and they were almost healed. Stupid Sakura hitting me and damn Sasuke-teme." He said that to himself mainly, but his teammats heard it. Slowly, he he walked towards and finailly pasted a stunned pair of genin. Finially, Sakura pipped up.

"But what about Kakashi-sensei?" Sasuke actually agreed with her. She did have a popint.

"Bah, he's always late. He won't be here for another three or four hours." ((With Naruto shattered, now would be a good time to say that my left wrist is starting to cramp up a bit. But whatever.)) Slowly, Naruto made his way into town, slowly picking up speed as he began to feel better. After almost an hour, he found his place at Ichiraku's, his favorite place to eat.

"Miso ramem! And I'm starving!" The father/daughter duo happily fufiled thier favorite customer's request. Before he could start, a pink puffball jumped up on the stool. The two looked at each other, as if to challenge each other to an eat off. It was on. They ate, and they ate, and they ate. About 28 bowls and an hour later, Naruto was was full while the puffball was literaly on his 50th bowl. For everytime the puffball ate, he sucked in not only the ramen, but the bowl and other random thing that got in his way. Naruto, consided his victory to the mysterious stranger. BBoth paid and went on thier way, which was easier sdaid than done. He ended up emptying out gambu-chan and still owed about three bowls. Of course they decided to forfeit the extra since he was the only reason they were in buisness, aside from the new stranger. They can afford giving him a few free bowls now and then. Happily, he slowly made his way back to the training grouds where Sakura and Sasuke were still waiting. He had improved though, getting there in only twenty minutes. He was still limping from his injuries. He gave the pair a victory sign and laid agains a tree to nap. Food and sleep often had good effects on the mind and body. Though he didn't just sleep away idly. he concentrated his chakra onto his broken bones to speed up his now fast healing even more.

Sasuke and Sakura were bored standing around, while Naruto slept peacefully. They watched in amazement as pangs of guilt entered thier minds breifly as pain flashed on his face. An hour had passed like that untill Kakashi finially appeared. He didn't wake up till he heard Sakura yell 'You're late!' to thier new sensei. He opened his eyes to reveal his one-eyed jounin staring at him.

"Sleeping is not part of being a shinobi." He stated, his face inches away from Naruto's.

"Yes, but sleep is vital to regain lost energy to complete missions" Naruto retorted as he slowly stood up. Though lessened, the pain was still there. Kakashi noticed the pain, and the ample blood in the area. It didn't take a genious to figure out what happened. he over exerted himself with training Well, it's time to see if that training paid off. He jumped onto the middle of three logs infront of a camp setting. He got out two bells and held it in front of the three.

"Two bells, three contestents. Looser goes home. Finish by noon, or no lunch. Understand?" The three nodded. "Go" Instantly, the three, no two dissiapered. Naruto stayed there, not moving. Slowly, he walked up to Kakashi.

"I won't loose." He gave a foxy grin and dissiapered in a puff of smoke. 'Bunshin? When did he do that? Damn he's fast. Well, there's only one thing to do, page 87' Kakashi took out the latest volume of Icha Icha Paradise and began to read. The three were confused. He stood there reading for a few minutes, each shinobi concocting thier own plan. Suddenly, kakashi jumped as naruto lept up with him, hands close to the bells. With great speed, kakashi grabbed his hand and attempted to throw him away, but Naruto grabbed Kakashi's wrist and swung around, using his momentum to power a kick. Kakashi grabbed his foot and this time succedded in throwing him into the lake. It would of worked except he only sunk knee deep in the deep lake. Though far from perfect, Naruto was using his chakra to walk on water, well, more like wade, but still very imporessive for a genin.

"Looks like your training did pay off." Naruto smirked and did a few simple hand seals.

"Bunshin no Jutsu!" He yelled as two clones appeared on either side.

"Bunshin?" Kakashi scratched his head. 'Just what the hell is that kid thinking? Bunshin is best when not seened in order to confuse the enamy, not like this.' The five Narutos charged. They were fairly fast, but it was nothing for a jounin.He didn't even try to mix them up to confuse him. He was about to punch the real Naruto in the middle when the clone closest to his left punched him. His surprise was nothing when he reached to punchNnaruto in the chest, and it wne through it. 'Kawarmi? No, it couldn't of been. I didn't sence any chakra being used.' Kakashi tried to think of the possiabilities. He wasn't that fast. He could be faster, but his injuries were slowing him down. Suddenly he got kicked in the side and punched in the face at the same time. He attempted to elbow both of them in the chest, but it went through. He saw another punch aimed for his head. This time, he was going to catch it. he closed his fist as Naruto's came inches away as it went through his hand, and head. Naruto's fist didn't phase him at all, but his knee did. Boy, did it. He dropped down to avoid three more oncoming punches and sent a punch straight into one of the five naruto's gut. It disiapeared with a poof. 'The stomach? So the chakra is condensed around the stomach, exactly where the seal is. Interesting.' He reached around and got two more, leaving the remaing two to back off.

Naruto slowly started to do a bunch of hand seals, which Kakashi instantly recognized.

"Chidori! How can that be?" He felt chakra well up in the boy's hands as WAM! Kakashi got hit from behind. He turned around to see a Naruto grinning.

"You might want to look behind you Kakashi-sensei" Slowly, he turned to see the real Naruto, with a bell. Then it hit him. He just got fooled by a random set of seals. He felt really stupid. Suddenly

:Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" Kakasahi jumped suddenly as Sasuke sent his signurature fire technique at Kakashi. barely touching the ground, he jumped to the side as a wave of kunia was launched at him. No sooner than he landed the ground beneath him blew, sending him flying. Before he could react, Sasuke was back on him with incredible taijutsu. In mid air, kakashi heard a kunai coming, but each move was block or parried by Sasuke. He knew that it was over as he felt his bells torn off his belt by the kunai. Wait a minute, bells?

Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto stood infront of the tree where the kunai caught the two bells at. Sasuke and Sakura took a bell each while Naruto threw his to Kakashi. He caught it as the bunshin was dispelled, revealing a rock. He couldn't believe it. How could an ex-special ANBU get fooled by fake seals and a bunshined rock, not to mention get thrashed by three genin? As if to answer his question, Naruto spoke up.

"Teamwork. How else could three ninjas beat someone ten times stronger than each of them." Kakashi chuckled right now he wanted to strangle each and every one of them. But he said the one word that they wanted to hear.

"Pass." They cheered for a bit before he calmed them down. He walked over to Sakura first. "Excellant aiming and kunai ability. I know of another kunoichi who's sole ability is weapon. I could see if you two could meet." He turned to the Ucha "Sasuke, very impressive taijutsu and ninjutsu. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone mastering such a powerful jutsu before genin." except for Itachi, but he didn't find it appropiate to mention his older brother right now. He turned to the blond/red head. "And what can I say about the dead last rookie? Clever useage of the bunshin. Escellan chakra control and for a moment I thought that you were about to perform a move that I invented a few years ago." He backed up looking at the three, beaming with pride. Well, Sasuke seemed to look at Naruto with some resentment, but that was to be expected. "I know officially decree you genin of Konoha. report to the bridge at 0-900 for your first assignment, and don't be late." He nodded to them before telaporting to the acadamy to give his results. What a great bunch of ninja they will make one day.


Whoo, not bad for thier first test. If you couldn't guesse, the kunai was all Sakura's doing. As far as I know, she is preety much worthless untill later in the series where she starts to train under Obaa-chan. Well, tell me what you think, who thew cross over is, and please vote for more pairings! So far I'm partial to the SakIno relation. I need someon for Naruto. I'm not sure if I want him with hinata, since i did a NaruHina fic recently. I could though, but it's all up to you,so vote!

Woo, go me!
