Kindred Spirits
Chapter
2: Team 9
Naruto had arrived home that night, happy and content. After he had shown off his new hitai-ate to Anko, she had jumped on him, hugging him tightly.
He and Anko had eventually stopped partying, and Anko had left back to her apartment next door. He had taken a long time to fall asleep after that.
The next morning, he woke up to Anko's shouts, as usual, and dashed off getting ready. After he finished, he had reverently place his new hitai-ate on his head, tying the bandana in the back, several of his long hairs falling out of the front.
The two of them dashed off, making it to the academy in record time.
Naruto smirked as he walked into the classroom, making everyone hush.
"But you failed! Why are you here?"
"Stupid dobe, how could you not do three bunshin?"
Naruto just laughed. "Whatever. I'm here now, so it's not really important."
The two took a seat near the back, and started to whisper.
Everyone tried to figure out what had happened, and why the dobe had passed, but Naruto wasn't saying anything.
Iruka-sensei eventually came in, and calmed the class down with his usual morning shouts.
"SHUT UP!"
Everyone quieted instantly, shivering in fear.
"Better. Now, I'm going to be reading off the team list. Each team is a group of three, and they are approved by the Hokage. If you have any problem with your team, nobody cares."
Anko and Naruto zoned out a bit, not really listening to the second large speech given to them about their life and roles as a Genin.
And then, Iruka-sensei started calling out the teams. One by one they went down. "Team seven will be Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke, and Tsukiko Gina with the Jounin-sensei of Hatake Kakashi. Team eight will be Inuzuka Kiba, Hyuuga Hinata, and Aburame Shino, with the Jounin-sensei of Yuuhi Kurenai. Team nine will be Uzumaki Naruto." Naruto's head shot up at his name. "Mitarashi Anko." Anko looked over at him and smiled, "and Kazama Corinna." Naruto and Anko looked around the class, trying to find this classmate, and new teammate, before seeing a girl with silky bright blonde hair past her ears, and grey-blue eyes looking back at them.
"Your sensei will be Shiranui Genma." They all nodded, and went back to not really paying attention.
"Team ten will be Yamanaka Ino, Akimichi Chouji, and Nara Shikamaru. Your Jounin-sensei will be Sarutobi Asuma."
"That concludes the placing of the teams. Wait for your Jounin-sensei's to pick you up. I hope you have a good life, and I am glad to have met you all."
The class looked up, realizing for the first time that this would probably be the last time they saw their sensei for a long while. "Thanks, Iruka-sensei! Same to you!" the class shouted as one.
Iruka nodded. "Then get out of here, take a separate empty class room, and wait for your sensei."
The class cheered, happy at finally becoming Genin.
Watching from the front of the classroom, tears threatened at Iruka's eyes. He was proud of this class. After all, they were his first academy class to graduate, fully under his tutelage. He had two other classes graduate while under his teachings, but this one was the first one he taught from beginning to end. He knew that most of them wouldn't pass the second Genin exam, and give up on being ninja, and that most of the rest would die on missions, but he was proud of them anyways.
And there went his two favorite students, out the door.
Anko and Naruto walked out the room, towards an empty class somewhere down the hallway, their other teammate following behind them.
Once inside, they closed the door, making sure people knew they were in there, and sat down to talk.
"So, Kazama-san, I haven't heard much about you. What sort of techniques do you use?" Naruto asked.
Kazama Corinna's eyes narrowed. "What reason could you possibly have to know my techniques?"
Naruto's smile drooped a little. "What do you mean?"
"You know very well what I mean, demon!" she hissed, careful to not talk too loudly. "You killed my father!" she whispered.
Naruto's eyes closed. Another one was caused pain by the demon, and this one actually knew who he was. "How… do you know about that?" he asked.
"Of course I know about it, my father was the one who sealed Kyuubi! He wouldn't leave his only family without telling us why!" the girl sneered.
Naruto took a deep breath. So she was the Yondaime's daughter, eh? Damn, just his luck that she didn't accept what happened.
"Alright then, I suppose I'll just have to accept that." Naruto nodded. The girl glared at him, and walked to a nearby desk to sit down.
Anko sauntered up to him. "So what's stuck up her butt?"
Naruto just shook his head. "She's the daughter of the Yondaime. She's upset at me for him dying when Kyuubi was sealed away," he said.
Anko, who he'd told of the Kyuubi right after he found out, just laughed. "She'll get over it soon enough, hopefully. I hope it doesn't end up destroying our team." Naruto smirked as well.
A knock at the door interrupted their conversation. Corinne, who was closest, opened the door, politely bowing to the man in a bandana that walked through the door. The senbon that hung from his mouth twitched. "Don't bow to me. I'm only your teacher, not some royalty," the man said, jauntily.
Corinna nodded, and stood up straight, and Naruto finally got a good look at her. Her long coat, much like the Yondaime's, flowed around her legs. She wore simple baggy pants that hung low on her hips and a tight t-shirt, the combination of which left about an inch of skin bare above her jeans. Around her waist was a pair of wide belts, one hanging down from each hip. On her feet were boots, much like the ones Naruto wore.
On Corinna's left side, a two foot long kodachi hung. The tsuba formed the shape of a twelve pointed star. On her right leg a small kunai pouch sat. It was filled with what appeared to be numerous long thin throwing knives, not the senbon or kunai that would normally fill such a pouch.
The man who stood in the middle of the deserted classroom spoke up, "I'm Shiranui Genma, your new team sensei. Let's get out of here, I'd rather not spend time remembering my schoolboy days," he said with a laugh.
Together, the four of them walked out of the room. They followed their sensei to an abandoned looking training area, area thirteen. There was a small park like area in the center, with several benches surrounding a table. They all took seats, Naruto and Anko together, with Corinna and Genma taking a bench each.
"Well, I don't know any of you, and I doubt you really know your teammates, so we'll be introducing ourselves today. Give me some of your likes, dislikes, favorite techniques, what you do in your free time, stuff like that," Genma said.
The three nodded before asking the man to give his intro first. "Well, I'm Shiranui Genma, a Jounin. My job is usually being an examiner for the Chuunin exams when they come here, but this year I was pressed into service being a teacher for Genin. I'm a weapons specialist, and that's what you all are probably going to become as well." He drew the senbon out of his mouth. "This is my lucky senbon. He's saved my life several times." He put the senbon back in his mouth, chewing on it lightly. "I like to study in a library, and practice using weapons I don't know how to use. I don't really dislike much, besides dango." Anko snarled at him, and he released a laugh. "Well, yeah, that's about it for me," he said. "You, Naruto, you're up."
Naruto nodded. "I'm Uzumaki Naruto. I'm a Genin. I like Anko-chan, and ramen. I love training! I hate having a disadvantage, like my inability to use chakra properly through hand seals. My favorite techniques are all taijutsu, most of which focus on never using my hands in battle. In my free time, I study up on new ninja techniques that don't have hand seals, so I can use them."
Corinna snorted at his inability to use hand seals. Genma pointed at her to go next.
"I'm Kazama Corinna." She said shortly. Genma's eyes narrowed. So she's the Yondaime's daughter, eh? "I like my mother, and I dislike the fact that my father had to die to seal away the demon." She spit out the last word as if it were the devil himself. "I hope one day to live up to my father's legacy. My favorite techniques are any ones left to me by my father. In my free time, I like to practice playing the guitar, and training." Genma nodded.
Anko's brash voice came quickly after Corinna's speech ended. "Mitarashi Anko. I'm a Genin as well. I think dango is the coolest thing since sliced bread. I hate people who judge others before getting to know them, and my family. In my free time, I like to go with Naruto to the library, looking up new techniques for myself."
Anko quickly drew out her sword. Its blade was tinted lightly red, as if so much blood had been spilled on it that it had permanently dyed the blade. It had a golden handle, with an undecorated oval tsuba. "This is my partner, Tyrfing. It was originally cursed to kill all who wielded it, and to be the cause of three great evils, but these curses have broken recently. The original user of this blade was Mitarashi Arngrim, long ago. It has been passed down the family, for hundreds of years, possibly even from before the Cataclysm."
Genma nodded. The legendary Tyrfing sword, that which had caused the downfall and disgrace of the Mitarashi family. The only one left was Mitarashi Anko.
"Alright, now that we know at least a little about each other, I have a surprise." Genma let out a laugh.
"Oh, a surprise?" Corinna asked.
"Yes, possibly the greatest surprise you'll ever get. You see, tomorrow, you three have to take another test."
"Another… test?" the three asked in unison.
"A survival test… with me as your opponent. You have a very large chance of failing the test, and if you do, I send you back to the academy."
The team's eyes widened comically. "Back… to the academy?"
Corinna growled, "But… we passed the Genin exam! You can't send us back!"
Genma shook his head. "Sorry, but that test was only to see if you had the knowledge to become a Genin. Now you have to actually prove you can do it. Only three, or occasionally four, teams pass every year. Only nine to twelve students actually become Genin, the rest fail, and usually decide to stop trying for ninja-ship."
Three collective jaws dropped.
"I'm not going to fail!" they all proclaimed together.
Genma smiled a secret smile. "We'll see about that tomorrow. Now, go home. We're done for today. Come back here at 0900 sharp tomorrow."
Naruto, Anko and Corinna nodded and left the training area together. Corinna immediately dashed away, leaving the other two alone.
Anko giggled, almost sounding nervous. "That was… entertaining. We ended up with a teammate who dislikes you, and knows who you really are." Naruto nodded, looking slightly sad. He had been hoping for a teammate who wouldn't look down on him for the demon, if he ever got around to telling them. This one was prejudiced against him at the start, but not for the same reason. Corinna hated him because her father had died, giving his life to seal away a beast that resided in Naruto.
"Well, anyways, lets get out of here." With a burst of speed, the two of them ran off.
The Second Day!
At nine, the three teammates were relaxing lightly in the strange training area. Corinna was occasionally glaring at Naruto, who was laying on one of the several benches throughout the area. Anko was sitting at the base of the same bench, and the two were conversing in hushed tones.
With a popping noise, and a burst of smoke, Genma-sensei arrived. He smiled at the three of them, and motioned them over.
"Alright, Genin, it's time to take the actual Genin exam. I've got these," he held up a simple bunch of bracelets. There were three in each color, and four sets. One set was a blinding orange, one was a light blue color, one was a dark brown, and one was a simple green, "and they're part of your test. The three of you will be pitted against each other, and me. Every time someone hits you, one of your bracelets will transfer to them. The two who get six bracelets pass. If I happen to get six of them, then two of you will fail. If you loose all of your bracelets, you are disqualified."
The three Genin solemnly nodded. This was a test of skill, and he said only nine to twelve Genin teams actually pass. "And the failures are sent back to the academy, correct?" Corinna asked.
Genma nodded. "You got it! Now, everyone take these," he passed out the bracelets, orange to Naruto, blue to Corinna, and brown to Anko, "and we'll get started."
The three nodded, slipping their three bracelets on. They turned towards each other and nodded, silently saying May the best man/woman win.
Genma raised his hand. "This test will go on for two hours, until 1100. Begin… now!" In a flash, all three Genin were gone.
Naruto was wondering about this test, it seemed a bit too fishy. Genma had said last time they had meet, after the introduction that three or four teams usually passed, but this test seemed to contradict that. This test was saying that people, not teams passed. It didn't add up. "Not much I can really do about it anyways. Let's go looking for Anko. Hopefully she'll have a better idea about this than I do."
Naruto leapt off the tree he had taken refuge in, and put on a huge burst of speed. In a flash, he vanished, leaving behind a small trail of slowly falling dust.
He found Anko quickly, but hid behind a tree as he heard speech. "Look, we need to work as a team to pass this test!" Anko was shouting, dodging around Corinna's strikes.
"Fuck off! I'll never work as a team with that demon! I'd rather die!" Corinna drew her kodachi and swung it, intending to shut up Anko.
Instead, she found Naruto's boot blocking the blade. Naruto was contorted in a slightly uncomfortable looking position, his leg quite high in the air, holding the blade back with his heavy boots. "Look," he said, "do you want to become a Genin?"
Corinna just jumped away from him. "I won't let you stop me from becoming a Genin. This whole test is a test of skill, not teamwork!"
"Then why did Genma-sensei tell us that three or four teams only pass each year? Why do they make the teams at all, especially ones that have the Hokage's approval? You're a fool!" Anko snarled at her, stomping her foot, as if to prove a point.
Corinna just glared at Naruto. She charged again, and this time Anko blocked the sword with Tyrfing. Corinna jumped back again.
"Look, I understand that you don't want to work with me! Let's just do this test, pass it, and then I'll even let you take out all of the anger you want on me!" Corinna's eyes narrowed. It was a good deal.
"And what if that's not the reason behind the test? Then what?"
"Then we'll fail, not every one passes, get over it! I want to be a ninja just as much, if not more than you do!" Naruto shouted.
Corinna just glared at him. "Fine. But afterwards, I'll kill you." She said.
Naruto nodded in acceptance. "Alright, let's do this!"
"Let's do what?" a voice came from the trees.
Silence came from the group. It took them a second to register the words spoken.
"Shit!" The three spun around, forming a tight circle with their bodies, backs to each other.
Genma walked out of the trees with an even pace, and stopped a few meters away. "What, you've been having a party without me?" he asked, with a sad look on his face.
A throwing knife shot out of the group, heading right towards Genma. He smirked, and spit out his senbon, using chakra to aid its speed. It struck the throwing knife, knocking both off course. Before the senbon hit the ground, it disappeared, reappearing in Genma's mouth.
All three of the Genin's eyes widened. So this was a Jounin. Fast enough to get the senbon that several meters away from him, and get back into position without any of them noticing.
"Ready, children?" Genma asked, with a smirk on his face.
And then he was gone.
The three students were thrown apart as Genma appeared in the middle of the circle. The three green bracelets on his right arm jangled.
Naruto, Anko and Corinna jumped back together in a group, this time all facing Genma. "I'll go first," Naruto whispered to the others, "Cover me."
The air around Naruto's feet started to swirl, almost unnoticeably. Genma smirked. The boy was already awakening the heart chakra!
Naruto jumped off the ground, the wind aiding him. He shot forward, towards Genma, and struck out. Genma lightly caught his hand, flinging him behind him, and then quickly dodged the rain of throwing knives, kunai and shiruken that followed. The rain of weapons continued on their path, straight at Naruto.
Naruto quickly righted himself, and spun around. Upon noticing the rain of blades heading towards him he took a flying leap up, unknowingly propelling himself with the small amount of wind chakra. He shot out of the way of the dangerous wave of weapons, and landed safely. Looking around, he found Genma, engaged in a weapons match with Anko, who had Tyrfing out. Genma was holding her off with his single senbon, and easily blocking all of her attacks.
Corinna attempted to sneak behind Genma, only to be knocked away by a seemingly random back swing, loosing one of her bracelets in the process. She snarled, and flung another wave of the strange throwing knives at her new opponent. Their sensei jumped out of the way, leaving the deadly weapons to fly at Anko, who promptly deflected them with kunai.
Naruto jumped at Genma, pulling himself into a flip, and bringing his foot down towards his opponent's head. Genma easily caught the foot, and pushed it away from him.
A wave of green and silver passed Genma, missing him barely. A single hair fell in front of his face, sliced off by the strange attack. Genma spun around, and glared at Anko, who stood winded from the attack. A light shot from Genma's wrist, and spun itself around Anko's, forming into a green bracelet.
Genma disappeared, and reappeared behind Anko. His green bracelets jingled. "If that's the way you want to play. Katon: Housenka no Jutsu!" he quickly grabbed his senbon from his mouth, before breathing out deeply, sending a sending several balls of fire at Anko's back.
Naruto jumped in the way, swinging his foot in another kick, which released a wave of green and red chakra, similar to the one that had struck Genma before. The blade sliced through the fireballs, which faded away.
Genma jumped out of the way of the strange wave of energy. A second later, he was glad to have done so, as the strange blade passed through the tree behind him, cleaving it in half.
As he landed, a normal throwing knife nicked him on the back of his hand. He cursed as another one of his bracelets vanished, leaving him with two, and he vanished quickly. The jingling of his bracelets echoed around the forest training area.
Corinna smirked as her bracelet returned to her. "Got him!" she celebrated.
Genma appeared behind Naruto, and struck him in the back, making one of his bracelets disappear, and reform on Genma. Naruto was flung to the ground, but quickly jumped up, spinning and swinging his foot. This time, instead of a wave of energy, a small bolt of blue lightning shot out, heading straight for Genma. Genma jumped, but the bolt followed him.
He hit the ground, hoping that this wouldn't hurt. Luckily, it didn't. The lightning was a temporary paralyzing technique. It would require much more chakra to make it hurt.
Genma watched as the bracelet he had just gained shot over to Naruto, who took his paralysis to his advantage. Naruto sprung over to Genma, and kicked him in the chin, sending him falling backwards, and making him loose another bracelet. Only one left.
Genma was still lightly affected by the paralysis, making him move a little slower than usual. It annoyed him. For a second, he did nothing as he stood up, but then, he drew in a tremendous breath.
Naruto, fearing a large scale attack, jumped straight back, and brought his foot up, hoping to have a jutsu that could block the coming attack.
Instead of a jutsu though, Genma spit out his senbon at an incredibly high speed.
Naruto's eyes widened at the high speed weapon heading towards him. He closed his eyes, knowing he couldn't intercept it.
With a ping, the small needle struck.
But not him.
Naruto opened his eyes to see a senbon and a throwing knife on the ground in front of him. Seeing Corinna in the corner of his eye, he smiled. He gave her a thumbs-up, and she responded with a snarl.
"Just don't loose to the bastard," she said.
Naruto nodded, and pushed himself towards the bandana wearing man.
Naruto slid under the punch that headed towards the man, and swung his foot up, crashing it into the man's chin. Genma floated away, and the last bracelet glittered for a second, before fading away.
Naruto smirked as he noticed the fifth bracelet form on his arm.
Genma stood up, and nodded to them. "Good job, you three. Now, you still have one person left to eliminate."
The three turned to face him.
Naruto put on a thinking pose. "Nah, I don't think so."
The other three turned to him. "What do you mean?" Genma asked.
"Well, I think I'll just give up my bracelets to the other two. They shouldn't fight, and they deserve to be ninja more than I do anyways," he said, as he pulled off the bracelets. He threw two to Anko, and three to Corinna. "They'd be better ninja than me, since I can't even do ninja techniques that require hand seals." He turned around, and started to walk away.
Genma nodded, unsurprised. When Naruto was out of sight, he continued. "Alright then, you two pass." He said, pointing to Anko and Corinna.
Anko looked disgusted. "No way, I'm not passing without Naruto." She threw her bracelets on the ground in front of Genma. "You can have 'em. Naruto and me go together, or neither of us go."
She also turned and started to walk away.
Corinna and Genma looked at each other.
Corinna slowly reached to her wrist where the bracelets resided. She caressed them for a moment, before pulling them off. "They may not be my friends, but we do make a good team. And even so, I like working with them. Even if Naruto was the reason my dad died…" She too threw her bracelets into the pile at Genma's feet, and walked away.
If any of them had looked back they would have seen the smile on Genma's face was radiant. "Good job, you three. You all… pass."
Naruto had walked back to his apartment quickly, hoping that the tears wouldn't begin to spill before he got there. He knew he had given up the chance for a good reason, but he couldn't help but feel sad. At least Anko and Corinna would be good ninja…
"Hey Naruto!" Anko's brash voice brought him out of his ponderings.
"Anko? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Genma-sensei?" Naruto asked. Anko huffed. "Not without you, dumbass!" she slugged him in the arm. "We're supposed to become ninja together, damn it, remember? Not you give up your chance to become a ninja for me!"
Naruto smiled. He was glad that Anko had thought of him. "Anko, you need to go back. He won't pass you if you're not there," he said, his tone sad.
Anko just punched his arm again. "Damn it, I said not without you! I'm not becoming a ninja to leave you behind! Either you come with me, or we both quit trying to become ninja! I already gave up that chance to pass when I threw the bracelets down at Genma-sensei's feet."
"C'mon Anko, you deserve it more than I do. You should-" he was interrupted by Anko smashing her fist into his face.
"Shut up! Stop belittling yourself! Damn it! 'You deserve it more than I do', what kind of bull shit is that?" Naruto looked up at her, to see tears running down her face. "Naruto, don't do that to yourself! You're just as worthy as I am to be a ninja!" Her breath hitched. "You idiot…"
Anko threw herself on him, and started to sob quietly on his chest. A soft sad smile formed on Naruto's face. "C'mon, Anko, lets get home then." He wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and started to pull them back to the apartment complex.
"Naruto, Anko!" another voice interrupted them. "Wait for me!"
Corinna landed beside them with a crash. She had apparently tripped on something while landing, and was sprawled out on the ground. "Oohh, that hurts!"
Anko sniffled, her tears slowing. A small giggle escaped her lips.
Corinna jumped to her feet. "I may not like you, Naruto, but anyone knows that to try and fix something that already works is pointless. We made a good team, so if you two weren't passing, I wouldn't either. The next time you two take the exam, call me, please. We'll take it together." She held out a small piece of paper, with a phone number on it, to Anko. Anko swiped her tears away, and grabbed the paper. She slid it into one of her pockets on the inside of her long coat, and looked at Corinna. "Thanks a lot." She whispered, shyly.
It was the first time that she had made a friend outside of Naruto. It was surprising how much different she seemed right then.
"Naruto, I owe you a beating." Corinna said, turning to face him. He nodded. "Tomorrow. I need to take care of Anko first." Corinna smiled, and nodded.
"I'll meet you here, tomorrow. I'll be here at 1300, sharp. Be there." Naruto's smile turned serious, and he nodded.
For about an hour, the three conversed, talking about nothing.
"I need to get home, remember to come here tomorrow, Naruto." Corinna glared at Naruto.
Corinna turned and was about to leave, when another voice interrupted them.
"Hey, you three." Their sensei's voice sounded from a nearby wall.
The three spun around, seeing Genma standing there.
"You three pass, by the way. You all are now Genin."
Three jaws collectively dropped.
"Wha…?"
Genma nodded. "Anko was correct when she said that the whole test was based on teamwork. You three were a good team. You teamed up to take out the biggest threat, and then, when internal strife was created, Naruto stepped forward so that no fighting happened between teammates. Good job!"
Genma held out his hand, and there were the collection of bracelets that he had given them for the test. "You guys are my team, so you can keep these. I gave 'em to you, after all."
They all took their own color bracelets, quickly looking back at each other.
The three Genin slipped the bracelets on, taking a second to admire them. It was almost as if they had their own personal trophies to say they passed the true Genin exam.
Naruto thought for a second. "How about we change bracelets, so we all have one of each color? Then, we'll all have a reminder that we're three different parts of a whole, that we're a team." He held out two of his bracelets to his team members.
Anko quickly grabbed one, and switched it with one of her own, which Naruto slipped on his wrist.
Corinna just stared. "We are a team, I suppose a reminder would be good for something like this…" she trailed off, before grabbing the bracelet out of Naruto's hand. "Don't think this changes much, now I just can't kill you," she hissed at him.
Naruto nodded, and Corinna turned to Anko to switch bracelets as well.
Genma clapped, they really did have the essence of teamwork.
"Alright, now tomorrow, I need to meet you early to begin your training!"
Chapter End!
Tsukiko Gina – She'll be introduced later, but, when I came up with her, I thought she was pretty cool, so hopefully you'll all like her. Name means Silver (Gina) Moon Child (Tsukiko), and then I spun it around to make it a Japanese name. And she definitely won't be what you're expecting with a name like that.
Kazama Corinna – Yes, she is the daughter of the Yondaime, and no, she isn't related to Naruto in any way, before you even ask. Naruto isn't the son of the Yondaime in this, even though most people think that he is in the actual story. And yes, I did use Kazama because that's just the most commonly used name for the Yondaime. At the moment, she doesn't know very many of Yondaime's jutsu, mostly because of a lack of chakra. She doesn't know the Hiraishin no jutsu or the Rasengan, yet…
Corinna means Maiden, in Greek.
Naruto Not Being Able to Use Hand Seals – There is an important reason behind this, but it won't come out until the Chuunin exams most likely.
Tyrfing – A legendary Goth sword, cursed to cause three great evils, as well as kill any person who wielded it. Anko's Tyrfing has had both curses broken, thus it isn't any more or less dangerous than a normal sword.
The Bracelets – There's a reason behind them too. You'll have to wait for it though.
Heart Chakra – Looking up the actual ideas behind the seven major chakra points in the body, I found that the heart is the place that has the greatest connection with the air. Thus, Genma calls Wind elemental chakra Heart Chakra. Naruto has a higher concentration of Heart Chakra, thus making him have a higher amount of devotion, love, compassion and healing, as compared to other's who don't have higher Heart Chakra. For more information, go to Wikipedia and search "Chakra".
Naruto's and Anko's green and another color wave attacks – Sword based jutsu, doesn't require hand seals. Naruto modified it so he could use it with his legs.
Naruto's paralyzing lightning bolt – Another jutsu. Hand seal-less, temporarily paralyzes an opponent, leaving them open for a more devastating attack.
Naruto not using the Junpaku Youganryuu – Well, even for Naruto, that attack does use up a lot of chakra. It probably won't be his signature move, like the Kage Bunshin became in the Manga/Anime.
A/N: Well, chapter 2, done. Yay.
