Hello again FanFiction, this is Mostly Harmless. Sorry about the long wait, but I was having some issues in school. You know the usual, state tests before the final exams. Now I'm back, out for the summer and hopefully can get back on my groove. Also the latest Naruto releases have opened a lot more door for my plans on Naruto's Rinnegan. But enough talk, here's chapter two.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. Can't believe I forgot this on the first chapter.

Spirit Speaking "................."

'You are the Kyuubi no Kitsune…'

That one phrase caused Naruto's whole world to come crashing down. The wind blew, making some of the surrounding trees to sway.

'You are the Kyuubi no Kitsune…'

"This is why everybody hates you. You are the demon fox that attacked Konoha 13 years ago." Mizuki unclipped one of his giant shuriken from his back. "You killed their love ones and destroyed their homes." Iruka had had enough.

"Stop it Mizuki!"

Mizuki ignored him. "You destroyed their shops and businesses. But most of all, you killed our Yondaime Hokage. Now Die!" He threw the shuriken at Naruto who had no intention of dodging. The news of his jailer had sent his mind in the gutter. Iruka seeing this leaped in front of him, taking the shuriken in the back. Naruto looked surprised that Iruka jumped to protect him.

"Don't listen to him Naruto… He's lying…" Iruka managed to say through the pain.

"This is shocking. I never would have expected you of all people to go this far to protect the demon-brat. I thought you hated him."

"Shut-up! Enough of lies, Mizuki."

"Am I Iruka? Even I know you secretly hated Naruto."

Naruto's eyes widened. He glanced up at Iruka who turned his head in another refusing to look Naruto in the eye.

Mizuki saw this and smirked. "Iruka hated you because you were the very thing that separated him from his parents."Mizuki continued not missing a beat. Iruka not denying the claim served as confirmation to Naruto. Naruto grabbed the scroll and dashed into the forest. Mizuki tried to stop him but he was forced to dodge his shuriken from Iruka. Iruka crouched on one knee, the pain so unbearable he couldn't stand.

Mizuki scowled. "Don't worry Iruka. A soon as I'm finish with the demon-brat I will come back for you later." Mizuki quickly began his pursuit of the fleeing blonde. Iruka struggled to get to his feet.

"Not if I have anything to say about it."

Iruka hopped from tree to tree scanning the area around him. 'Where is …' A flash of orange entered his vision. 'There!' He sped up to catch to Naruto.

"Naruto! Hurry, give me the scroll before Mizuki com-" Naruto stopped and launched himself at Iruka slamming his knee into his gut. Iruka fell from then tree tops into a clearing. Naruto landed near the trunk of a tree.

Iruka glared. "How?" He disappeared with a poof and Mizuki was in his place. "How did you know I wasn't the real Iruka?"

Naruto grinned before he too disappeared in a poof of smoke to reveal Iruka. "Because I'm Iruka." He leaned against the tree before sliding down into a sitting position. Mizuki scowled at him.

"Why are you trying so hard to protect him, I know deep down that you hate him."

"You right. I did hate him at one point," Mizuki smiled at this. "But that was before I ever met Naruto. When I did things changed. I was so stupid to believe a little boy could actually do the things Kyuubi did during the attack." Iruka lifted his head and looked directly at Mizuki. "When I met Naruto, I learned he was just a boy who wanted a family. He wanted friends. But most of all, he wanted recognition. He wants to be recognized by this village, and to prove them all wrong about their views on him and when you look past all of that, you find he is a hard-working student who could accomplish any goal when he puts his mind to it. He's the boy who I have grown to consider to be like a little brother to me. He's Uzumaki Naruto, a proud member of Konohagakure."

Naruto who was hiding behind a tree during Iruka speech was silent. Iruka did hate him, but that was in the past. Now he was a little brother to the man, and Iruka proved that by taking that shuriken to the back. He finally had someone who thought of him as family. He knew the Hokage thought of him as a grandson but he had a job to do and that was to look after the village. He was cut from his musing by Mizuki's next words.

"How sweet you found yourself a demon for a brother Iruka." He unstrapped his last shuriken. "But now I'm going to put you out of your misery." Mizuki threw the shuriken at Iruka aiming for his head.

"Goodbye, Iruka!"

The shuriken rushed at him at an alarming rate. With his current injures, he could hardly stand. There was no way he could dodge in time.

'I guess this is it!' An orange blur shot from the edge of the clearing, right into the path of the shuriken. 'What!'

Naruto stared down the shuriken with no fear even as it continued its flight.

"Naruto, what are you doing get out of the way." Iruka yelled. Whether Naruto heard him or not, he didn't budge. Naruto was too busy trying to think of a plan that didn't involve him getting impaled by a shuriken just to stop it.

'Crap. Maybe I should have just grabbed Iruka and just moved him out of the way. The shuriken is too close for me to do that now. Shit, this is really bad!' Unnoticed to Naruto, the world around him was slowly slowing down. Mizuki became frozen mid-laugh. Iruka was frozen mid-scream.

Naruto noticed this when couldn't move his body. 'What the…' Everything slowly began to melt away. A distant sound echoed in the back ground. The sound seemed to slowly move closer and closer until…

*Drip*

Naruto blinked. He was no longer in the clearing with Iruka and Mizuki, but in a large dark sewer. Water dripped from pipes across the ceiling into like knee-deep water.

'How did I get here?' Naruto glanced around but was greeted by only more pipes and an endless flow of water.

"Hello" his voice echoed for a while. "Iruka-sensei!"

Naruto noticed sewer he was in was a tunnel. 'Maybe he went this way?' He walked down the long pathway before it branched into a large room. It was very dark. So dark that Naruto could barely see in front of him as he walked.

'What is this place?' A low ferocious growl broke him from his thoughts. 'What was that?'

Naruto glanced around frantically before backing into a giant cage. Naruto turned in surprise at such a massive structure.

"Who the hell puts a cage in the middle of a damn sewer?!" Naruto wondered aloud.

Naruto saw the there was a slip of paper on a gate with kanji written on the slip, but it was too dark for him to read.

'Wish I had some light or something. I can't see a thing in here.' On cue a small torch appeared and lit in Naruto's hand. Naruto stared in disbelief. 'What just happened? Torches don't magically appear in someone's hands and especially not in a sewer!'

Deciding not to count his blessings again, Naruto shone the light in front of the slip.

'Seal?' thought Naruto curiously as he read the slip. Another growl emitted through the, this time it originated from behind the gate. Naruto eyes bulged slightly. His not so natural six sense of danger kicked in and Naruto leapt back as hard as he could from the gate, narrowly avoiding the giant claws that swiped at him.

"What the hell!" A dark chuckle followed.

"This seal. I can't seem to reach you because of it." Red-slit eyes glared at Naruto. The small light from the torch allowed him to see a row of white teeth fixed into a grin.

"Do me a favor and walk a little closer so I can rip the flesh from your bones."

Naruto sweat dropped. "Uh, how about a NO! And who the hell are you!"

"I'm shocked. You just learned of my existence and yet you still do not know who I am? Why did I have to be stuck in this baka?" He spoke while shaking his head.

Naruto's eyes widened. "Kyuubi!"

"One point to my baka of a container! So you're not hopeless after all." Mocked the fox.

Naruto twitched slightly at the comment. "Where the hell am I?"

"Stupid Mortal, we are in your poor example of a mind."

"What did you say you walking carpet?"

"I said your head is as empty as a desert, shrimp!"

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A SHRIMP, YOU FURRY BASTARD?"

"THAT WOULD BE YOU. FOUR FOOT TALL MIDGET!"

"I AM NOT SHORT! I'M JUST VERTICALLY CHALLENGED!"

"BAKA! THAT STILL JUST ANOTHER WAY TO SAY YOU'RE MIDGET!"

Kyuubi and Naruto were so into their argument, they never noticed the chuckling white haired man in standing right next to the cage. He wore light grey armor similar to the Shodaime with a headband with two horns jutting from a metal plate. He also wore a black cloak over his shoulders.

"Man, if I knew you two would be acting like this I would have brought some popcorn."

The two then rounded on the white-haired stranger. "WHAT DID YOU SAY/WHAT DID YOU SAY!"

"I said you guys look like retards shouting at each other. Now would you please stop yelling, I am standing right here."

This just made the two angrier. "Screw you/Screw you!"

The man just gave them a grin. Suddenly the air around them seems to thicken and bear down on them.

"I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that. What were you two saying?"

Naruto grunted as he was forced to kneel due to the pressure while Kyuubi was unaffected. The demon eyed the man for a second. The man continued to grin while pouring off more KI. (Killing intent for those who don't know.)

'This stranger' Kyuubi plundered. 'Why do I feel like I know this person?' He concentrated and plundered more. 'White hair….old style armor that is similar to the Shodaime….dark blue eyes with black ripple like look… from… the pupil.' Kyuubi's eyes widened.

"YOU!" Kyuubi's pointed at the smaller being. "What are you doing here?"

"Finally remember who I am, huh. I should be asking you the same question. The king of all demons stuck in a cage, how sad." He replied while shaking his head. His response was a growl from the biju. 'Looks like you're a little rusty since we last met.' He continued completely unaware of the KI coming from Kyuubi.

"Rusty! I was simply caught by surprise. How was I supposed to know that a human could summon the shinigami?" It spoke while growling.

"Excuses, Excuses. If I remember correctly, when we fought I didn't summon the Shinigami and I still kicked you ass."

"One, I had just got out of battle with that blasted Hachibi. Two, that's not the point, besides, you threw a moon at my freaking head!"

"Still kind of sad if you ask me."

"Enough of about my defeat at the hands of you or that blasted Yondaime. The real question is what you are doing here. You died 200 years ago."

"It's complicated. You see, the kid you're sealed in is my reincarnation."

Kyuubi stopped and stared. After a short pause, Kyuubi began to laugh uncontrollably. "That was…..a…good one….reincarnation……..." After coming down from his laughing high, Kyuubi noticed the man had not once cracked a smile. "Dear Kami….your serious."

"You should be happy to know that you were contained by the reincarnation of the Rikudou Sennin."

"But how? I know this boy is of no relation to you."

Before the fox could answer, Naruto decide to join the conversation.

"Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on?" The Sennin glanced at him, before turning back to Kyuubi.

"How long you did freeze time." Kyuubi's face took one of concentration.

"Not long. Originally I was going to force my powers on him to save him because when he dies, I die as well."

The man frowned. "Okay, that was stupid. What would you do if he went on rampage and I know your chakra is toxic to the body, so if you forced too much, you'd kill his cells. That effectively shortens his life-span. Geez, you really have gotten rusty." The fox glared from its position in behind the seal.

The Sennin shrugged."Guess that means I have to make this quick then." The Sennin turned towards Naruto and studied the blonde. He smiled before finally asking.

"Okay kid, what do you want to know?"

"Who are you?" He blurted out.

"I am the legendary Rikudou Sennin. But you can call me Kessen. And well…you're my reincarnation."

Naruto was confused. "Reincarnation? How is it even possible, we look nothing alike and I know I don't have eyes like that, plus I am a blonde and you're ...a white-head… And just what the hell is a Rikudou Sennin?"

"Hey just what's wrong with my hair! Anyway, Rikudou Sennin is just a title, but I am the creator of ninjutsu and yes, reincarnation, so basically you are going to become more like I was but you might not get the looks, kid. Sucks for you. But you do get my some of my knowledge in ninjutsu... Kid, pick your jaw up off the floor." Kessen chuckled while saying the last part.

Naruto did as he was told but his mine was trying to process this new information. 'The creator and master of almost every ninjutsu is standing in front of me…and I am his reincarnation…and I get some of his skills in ninjutsu…. Score!' Naruto's eyes became giant stars.

"As for the eyes they are a doujutsu called the Rinnegan. With its abilities, I was able to create many different ninjutsu. It allows the user to-" Kessen started before he was cut-off.

"We are going to have to cut this short. Time is returning back to normal. Kessen, just jump-start his Rinnegan activation, so the brat won't get us killed." Kessen nodded before turning back to Naruto. He placed a hand over Naruto's eyes and suddenly the started to burn slighty.

"We'll talk about the abilities later; right now go kick some ass..." With that Kyuubi forced Naruto out of his mind-scape.

(Time is normal)

The spinning weapon soared through the air, its intended target was the blonde who had yet to make a move to evade or dodge.

'Damn it Naruto! Snap out of it!'Iruka grunted in pain at his attempts to rise.

Mizuki looked on with excitement. 'Yes, Die you damn fox!' The shuriken was a couple feet from hitting Naruto.

Iruka looked on with horror. 'Come on Naruto! Move….Move…Move!"

"Naruto! Get out of the Way!" Naruto's eyes snapped open. As if acting on instinct, He thrusted his palm out in the path of the shuriken.

"Shinra Tensei." The spinning buzz-saw stopped an inch from hitting Naruto's palm. Iruka ceased his struggles and stared in silence. The shuriken slowed before falling harmlessly to the ground.

'What…' Mizuki's jaw dropped. 'How did he stop my shuriken?' Naruto turned and glared at Mizuki before smirking.

"Hey Mizuki-teme, I know shuriken like these are rather expensive at most ninja stores." He picked up the shuriken. "So how about I just give you this one back!"With a powerful throw, Naruto sent the shuriken back at Mizuki. Mizuki was force to take to the air to dodge and the shuriken lodged itself into the trunk of a tree. A swishing sound reached his ears. He quickly drew a kunai and used it to block to a handful of shuriken thrown by Naruto.

Mizuki tossed his kunai as hard as he could at Naruto. Naruto smirked before chakra poured off of him and he disappeared in a burst of speed. Before Iruka could blink, Naruto had appeared in front Mizuki and planted his elbow in his gut. Naruto twisted so he could follow up with his knee as well. Mizuki grunted but retaliated with a punch. Naruto pushed off and landed a little near the middle of the clearing. Mizuki landed on a branch on the other side of the clearing hunched over in slight pain. Iruka saw now as a good chance to speak.

"Naruto, run now while Mizuki is…" he stopped when Naruto turned towards him revealing that his eyes have changed.

They were no longer the ocean blue that he was accustomed to, now they were a darker shade with black circles that seem like ripples surrounding the pupil

"You can relax now Iruka-sensei. I promise to finish Mizuki-teme quickly." Naruto's voice was full of so much confidence; Iruka didn't know whether to be worried about his safety or question him about his eyes' sudden change.

This statement angered the said person. Mizuki growled as he flipped through seals. 'Demon thinks he can beat me does he! I'll show him.' He brought his hand towards his mouth. He angrily poured chakra into the ninjutsu

"Katon: Endan!" A medium-sized fireball shot towards Naruto at an alarming rate.

"Naruto!"

With his attention on Iruka, Naruto never saw the fireball. Naruto turned but it was too late as the fireball was already at him. A large explosion was caused and cloud of smoke shot into the air. Mizuki sneered.

"Hah! Where did all that talk go? Maybe in hell, you'll learn your place!"Slowly the smoke dispersed to show that a burning log was in Naruto's place. Now Mizuki and Iruka were both victims of shock. 'A substitution! And he did it sealess!'

"That was very rude, Mizuki-teme." Naruto cracked his knuckles while he sat on a branch above Mizuki. Mizuki immediately tossed a handful of shuriken at him. Naruto simply disappeared in a burst of speed and smashed his fist into Mizuki's face knocking him from his perch. Naruto appeared above him and axe- kicked him in the chest. Mizuki was sent crashing into the ground, causing it to crack slightly at the force of the kick, though it was more the speed of the fall.

Naruto reappeared by Iruka causing the man to jump slightly. 'When did he get this speed? Hell, when did he get this strong! Just what the hell did he learn from that scroll?' If only Iruka knew that Naruto was currently acting only on instinct or maybe some of Kessen's instincts. Most of the ninjutsu he used was because he was the rush of the moment, but the speed and the barrier like ninjutsu, those two felt like he knew them forever. Also Naruto knew he never learned a set taijutsu style.

'Maybe this is what Kessen meant about some his knowledge transferring to me.' Naruto concluded. Naruto was finally able to get his breathing back to normal; he noticed Mizuki was beginning to rise. 'Shit, the Kage Bunshins from earlier and whatever the hell that speed move was, is staring to tire me out.' Naruto paused. 'Wait I could have used Kage Bunshin from the beginning!' He resisted the urge to slap himself as he stood and form a single hand-seal.

"It's over Mizuki-teme! I'm going to beat you with my next move."

Mizuki simply glare as he stood. "Let's see you try it!"

"Tajuu Kage Bunshin!" Naruto put as much chakra as he could into the jutsu. A thousand clones appeared in the trees surrounding the three. At the sight of so many clones, Iruka became speechless and Mizuki nearly had a heart attack. Each clone glared menacingly at Mizuki, all while cracking their knuckles or pounding a fist into its palm.

"Like we said it's over Mizuki-teme!" All the clones leaped at Mizuki and proceeded to beat him to an inch of life. His screams could be heard all over Konoha. When he was hardly recognizable, Naruto decided to dispel his clones.

He walked back towards Iruka who still speechless at the amount of clones that were just in the clearing.

"You okay there, Iruka-sensei."

Iruka snapped out of stupor. "Wha?'

"I asked if you were okay." Iruka nodded before a thought entered his head. 'He has got to become a genin. If he had more experience he would probably be a low chunin level. I would have to be crazy not to pass him'

"Hey Naruto close your eyes for a sec." Naruto blinked in confusion but complied with the request. He heard Iruka move slightly and then felt something being tied to his forehead.

"Okay you can open your eyes now." Naruto did so and immediately notice the absence of Iruka's headband and the smile Iruka had on his face. Naruto lifted a hand to his forehead. Cold Metal.

"Congratulation Naruto, you pass."

Naruto was speechless before smile appeared on his face that radiated pure happiness. Naruto pulled Iruka into a fierce hug all while laughing.

"Alright! I passed!"

"Ow Naruto! That hurts!"

Kessen smiled slightly as he watched the image fade from the water.

"This kid is going to have a bright future ahead of him."

Kyuubi grunted in agreement. "He was able to use the basic of two of your signatures. Honestly I was a little surprised when he able to use that Shinra Tensei but when he used your Shunpo technique, I was really shocked then." Kyuubi admitted from his position near the cage.

"You weren't the only one. I kinda expected him to use Shinra Tensei but to Shunpo as well. Though he needs work on control. The shuriken should have been immediately deflected but instead it was stopped and slowed. Plus Shunpo is at least three times faster than that. But if the kid is trained by the right person, he'd be a force to reckon with."

Kyuubi eyed Kessen in suspicion. "What do you mean by that? I thought you were sticking around to train the brat."

Kessen shook his head. "Sorry but I can't. It was hard enough to get Kami AND the Shinigami to let me come back to meet the kid and leave some of my knowledge. I don't want to push my luck with those two. Hmm….I think I'll leave the kid, three more jutsu though."

"Then you better choose wisely."

Kessen simply grinned at the fox. "Don't worry, I already have three others in mind." The fox twitched slightly. Even though he wouldn't admit it Kessen's grin always ticked him off.

'Damn Kessen and that grin. The brat better not inherit that piece of shit, or their will be hell to pay.'

Wow that was a long chapter. Oh, for the guy who asked, of course this is a hetero story. Its just that I am going to keep him single till about the one month break in the Chunin Exams. As for who the lucky girl, I dont know yet. I was thinking of a short relationship with Ino, Temari, or Tenten. The reason for this is becasue I plan Naruto to eventually hook-up with either Yugito, Anko, Shizune or Kurenai. I am leaning towards Yugito but who knows and that not going to happen until after the time-skip. Also no Harems. I don't have anything against them but I really doubt I could write a GOOD harem fic.

Well That's all for today! You know the drill. Review!
