Mostly Harmless has returned with chapter 3. I'm sorry to say this but updates may start to come slow because sometimes next week a very close member of the family has to undergo some really important test and if it doesn't go right, they may have stay in the hospital and I will most likely be on a constant go to the hospital. So I might not be able to get to a computer very often to type. Sorry for the incovience but hey you never know, everything might be just fine. I say that alot nowadays, but enough talk and here is chapter 3.

Naruto opened the door to his apartment, throwing the keys near his futon on the floor. He walked straight to the bathroom, remove his clothes before getting straight in the shower. He sighed slightly as the hot water was relaxing after a chaotic day like his. About fifteen minutes later, he was out of the shower and almost ready for bed. Earlier, He and Iruka returned the scroll to the Hokage and explained the sudden changes about Naruto's eyes before Naruto helped Iruka to the hospital. Naruto asked the Hokage about the eye but Sarutobi really couldn't say much about the Rinnegan because he didn't know much about it, only that it was so rare it was said to be only a legend. After that Naruto returned straight home.

Naruto finished brushing his teeth and rinsed. He then walked out of the bathroom and to the edge of his futon. 'Finally some well deserved sleep.' Naruto turned and fell backwards toward his mattress…..only for the world to dissolve away……


Naruto fell into the water in his mindscape. He immediately came up sputtering, looked around at his surroundings before glaring at the laughing spirit and demon fox that were currently residing in his head.

"What the hell! You didn't have to drop me in the water, y'know!" Kessen was finally able to get his laughter under control, but the fox was still going wild.

"Whew, okay that was funny. Pure comedy, kid." Kessen burst into another fit of laughter for a few minutes before calming again. Kyuubi had regain control of himself as well. Naruto stood up while cursing the two under his breath. All he wanted to do was get some sleep, was that too much to ask? A chuckle...then another, before soon the pair was in another fit of laughter.

"What do want?!" Naruto yelled annoyed. Kessen and Kyuubi finally stopped laughing for good this time.

"Well, I thought you might want to know more about the Rinnegan." At this Naruto began to listen closely. "Alright, let's pick up where we left off. Like I said before, the Rinnegan is the doujutsu I used to create ninjutsu. The Rinnegan helps you learn any jutsu much easier than the average person and can see chakra around you to a short distance. If you pour more chakra into your eye the range increases."

Kessen pause to make sure Naruto had not gotten lost. "The Rinnegan has two major abilities that I want to explain. The first and most simple to comprehend is that, the Rinnegan allows the user to use the six elements or all types of nature manipulation."

Naruto interrupted. "Huh, I remember Iruka –sensei saying once that there were only five elements."

Kessen shook his head. "No there are six. The five main that are the most known, however, are Fire, Wind, Water, Earth and Lightning then you have you sub-elements like Moukuton, and Hyouton but the sixth main element is something I like to call the Yin-Yang element. This element is used for all other ninjutsu that don't have a, umm… how should I put this…"earthly" element."

"What?" Naruto deadpanned.

"It is like when someone performs a genjutsu, like a henge." Naruto nodded and Kessen continued.

"The second ability was discovered by another who wields the Rinnegan in your time. It is a process one would call the Rikudou no jutsu."

"Rikudou no jutsu?"

"He learned that with the Rinnegan, he can reanimate a corpse and copy one of his powers or skills to this corpse. These corpses will bear the Rinnegan and "regain" life by living off a constant feed of chakra. The new body will now become a realm and there is a limit of six realms. Example, since you are bad at genjutsu, you could take a corpse, reanimate it, copy over you genjutsu skills then train it until the realm is a master at genjutsu." Naruto grinned in excitement.

"Though it's kinda creepy but that sounds so cool!"

"But in order for this, He had to gain a material that could transmit chakra. There is one way to get this material and that is to use the Kuchiyose: Gedo Mazo. Doing this for you, however, is too dangerous." At this Kyuubi spoke up.

"You're damn straight it's too dangerous. Even I cannot heal his body, if he uses that summon. The Gedo Mazo's after affect is more like a curse, making it more like a suicide jutsu. Don't think even teaching him that."

"I was never planning on teaching him that. I'm still surprised the other wielder knew that jutsu."

"Why can't I learn this?" Naruto asked curiously.

"Because the minute the Gedo Mazo is summoned, it pierces the user's back with chakra blades. These Chakra blades can transmit chakra from the user to the Gedo Mazo so the user can control its actions. However, through the duration of this technique, the user will become more and more emaciated." Kessen explained.

"What do you mean emaciated?"

"It means your body will lose all fat, and sometimes muscle, making you extremely thin and weak."

Naruto's face took a horror-filled expression. "That's bad. Really bad."

"I know. The Gedo Mazo was the last jutsu I ever created, but it was never ment to be uesd by anyone due to it's horrid side-effects."

"That's how you died then." Kessen nodded.

"Yes, I had just made the jutsu and wanted to test it. The effects of the jutsu was too great and I died a month later." Kessen confrimed. "But we shouldn't be worried about the past. We should be thinking of solutions. If there was a way for you to find an alternate material for you to transmit chakra, then you could start finding bodies to make your realms but sadly I know no other solution."

"Just use a seal." Kessen and Naruto both whipped their heads towards the fox. "Or more specifically a demonic seal."

Kessen eyed the fox. "Just what are you playing at Kyuubi?"

"I am not playing anything. Where do you think your human seals developed from? Demons originally taught humans how to make and perform fuinjutsu before you humans began to call us evil creatures. There are many of demonic seals that can transmit chakra and even store chakra for someone if performed correctly."

"So you know a seal that can transmit chakra for Naruto?" questioned Kessen. Kyuubi nodded. "What's the catch? You normally don't help others unless it benefits you in some way."

"For two reasons. One, I do not want to be dying anytime soon. Two, I want him to kill Uchiha Madara for summoning me thirteen years ago and forcing me to attack this pitiful village." Kyuubi snarled at the last reason.

Kessen wince slightly. "Hmm…feel sorry for this Madara person. He has invoked the wrath of a kitsune." As Kessen was saying this his form seemed to fade slightly. Naruto noticed this.

"Hey, why are you fading away?" Kessen blinked and looked at his hands as they began to fade more.

"Shit I'm running out of time." Kessen quickly drew a circle in the air before reaching through it and producing a small scroll. "Here Kid," He quickly tossed it to Naruto who fumbled slightly to catch it. "In there are three jutsu, I want you to learn. The first two you should be able to learn easily on your own but the last one don't try it until you are at least….uhh…what do you call it….oh yeah a Jounin, wait until you're a Jounin for the last one."

Kessen began to dissolve.

"Wait, where are you going?"

"Back to where I belong, the realm of the dead."Naruto looked slightly sad at the lost of a possible mentor.

Upon seeing Naruto's expression, Kessen shook his head. "I couldn't stay forever, kid. I'm already dead. If I could stay; I would and teach you more ways of using you Rinnegan, but seeing as I can't you're going to have to make your own path." Naruto looked up at to Kessen to see his famous grin on his face. The dissolving was now at his chest.

"I can tell just be looking at you. Even before you got the Rinnegan, you were going to grow up to become someone special. One of those once in a lifetime peoples whose impact may change the world for the better."

Kessen was almost dissolved away now. Before he left he spoke one last message.

"Become that person, Naruto…… A legend ….. one that could change the world for the better…" A blinding flash of light swept through the room causing Naruto to shield his eyes. When it was over, Kessen had fully disappeared.

A long silence followed before Kyuubi broke it. "It seems that you have a lot of training to do."

Naruto glanced up at the fox without saying anything. He looked down before grinning up at the Kyuubi. His grin, so similar to Kessen.

"Yeah, I guess you right. If I can't become Hokage of Konoha. Then follow my second dream. To become a Legend!" At this even Kyuubi grinned slightly.

'Damn! It's contagious!'


(One week later…)

Naruto stood in an empty training field, eyes closed, in a relaxed posture. He took a deep breath before slowly opening his eyes. Naruto formed a cross-shaped hand seal.

"Kage Bunshin!" Smoke erupted from around him, and reveals 50 clones. Naruto's eyes scanned the group of clones, before he slipped into a defensive stance.

The first clone to reach him leaped into a kick only for Naruto to turn slightly causing it to fly pass him. He immediately dropped low to duck under a clone who attempted to close line him from behind. Not given a chance to recover, a clone fell from above, flipping into a hell-drop. Naruto rolled out of the way and back onto his feet. Naruto blocked a behind kick, aimed for the side of his head, before grabbing the clone by its leg, tossing it over his shoulder and slamming in into the ground, dispersing it. He quickly drew a kunai, but forced to spin to the left to dodge another heel-drop. Still spinning he jammed the kunai into the back of the clone's neck, making it leave in smoke. He threw the same kunai into another clone, dispersing it as well. The last two charged at the same time, each throwing a punch. Naruto tossed two kunai above him, before knocking both strikes off to the side causing the clones to stumble. He jumped into the air, grabbing to two kunai, twisted, and then launching both of them into the back of each clone's head.

His victory was short-lived as a clone manages to kick him in his side, knocking him from the air. Naruto grunted as he landed but still threw a shuriken at the still airborne clone, hitting it in the head. More of the surrounding clones started to charge. Naruto dodge a punch aimed for his head, and jumped over a sweep but was caught in the side by a kick. Another clone appeared behind him, but before it could do anything, Naruto had already tossed the clone into a group of three, destroying them.

Naruto landed in a crouch, clutching his side slightly. The clones seemed to back-off and resume the circle made around him. One clone was brave enough to step forward.

"What's the matter boss, can't handle us clones?" Its reward was a kunai in its forehead.

Naruto panted slightly, "You guys shouldn't get cocky. I have yet to use any jutsu yet." The clones seemed to tense at this new bit of information and cursed their former comrade for opening its mouth.

In a rush of panic, another clone speaks. "Quick get him!" The remaining clones charged at this command. Some took to air at an attempt to cut off an escape route.

Naruto calmly closed his eyes, and crossed his arms. 'You'd think they learn after the third spar.' His eyes snapped open, thrusting arm out to his side.

"Shinra Tensei!" The wave was blasted away, dispersing, covering the arena in a large blanket of smoke. Naruto relaxed slightly only to become tense again. Erupting from this blanket came a second wave of clones.

'This is different; I thought they all charged me at the same time.' Naruto began to weave in and out of several strikes aimed for his head or torso. Naruto jumped into the air while forming hand-seals. 'They're not the only one with new tricks.'

"Katon:Housenka no Jutsu!" Naruto inhaled deeply before bringing his hand to his mouth. Naruto then exhaled and released a storm of fireballs than rained down on the remaining clones. The copies tried their best to maneuver around the fireballs, but the time the fireballs stopped, only a few remained after the slaughter. These last few clones tried to regroup in smoke formed from the destruction.

"Okay, we're getting killed out here!" clone one stated the obvious.

"Don't you think I know that!" snapped clone two while glancing around.

"Hey, now is not a good time to be fighting. We need a plan." Spoke the third while trying to defuse the situation. The fourth and last clone sighed.

"We are going to die anyway. Why even try?"The three look at the clone like it had grown a second head, before one and two looked at each other and nodded. They both decked four in the face, destroying him.

Clone three began to slightly panic. "WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!"

The two shrugged, "He was defective. I mean we are copies of the boss. And the boss never gives up."

"BAKAS! DON'T YOU KNOW THAT WHEN ONE OF US DISSAPPERS, HE GETS OUR MEMEORIES!" On que a kunai landed in the middle of the three. The three went rigid but seeing as nothing happen, they relaxed.

Clone two spoke. "That was close. But hey it could have been worse, right?" A fizzing sound their ears and they all glanced back at the kunai to find a paper bomb was just about to explode. One and Three looked back at two with an 'If-I-wasn't-about-to-be-blown-to-pieces-I-would-kill-you-kind-of-look.'

"You just had to say it." The bomb detonated, destroying the clones, and sending another column of smoke into the air.

Naruto let a chuckle at the last memories received by the clones. Naruto had about 3 of these training secessions a day, every day for the past week. Combine that with all the push-ups and drills he does before his brawls, his taijutsu has improved greatly over the week. His combat skills were not the only thing that had improved; he ditched his orange jumpsuit for something less …orange. Kyuubi simply put it as get out of that ridiculous orange monstrosity and get into something that would actually benefit his shinobi career.

He now wore a more robe-like outfit which consisted of a long-sleeved black shirt which went just a little past his wrist and black shinobi pants with black sandels. The only part of his outfit that was still orange was a dark orange sash that was tied around of his waist. His kunai/shuriken pouch was attached to his right leg and he replaced the blue cloth of his headband for a black cloth that reaches to the back of his neck. (For a better picture, think something on the lines of Neji's shippuuden outfit.)

"With all this training, Jiji will be handing over that hat in no time!" Naruto mused to himself as he walked around the area and collected the kunai that was still useable.

"Is that so?" Naruto nearly jumped out of his skin as at the voice.

"Don't do that! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?!" Sarutobi merely chuckled before continuing.

"A shinobi must always be aware of his surroundings, Naruto-kun. You still have a lot to learn if you ever hope to take this hat."

Naruto muttered something under his breath, before picking up the last kunai. "What are doing here, anyway, Jiji. Don't you have paperwork to do?"

"Is it so much to ask for an old man like me to have a chance to visit a friend, every once in a while?" Replied Sarutobi.

Naruto just gave him a blank-stare. "You're using me as an excuse to get away from paperwork again, aren't you?" He deadpanned.

Sarutobi nearly fell flat on his face."No, No I'm just here to give you a gift for stopping Mizuki from obtaining the scroll." Inwardly he was thinking. 'Shit! Am I that predictable?' "For helping protect the scroll, I will grant you the choice of the payment of a B-ranked mission or two ninjutsu of your choice that are under B-rank."

Naruto blinked. "How much does a b-rank mission pay?"

"Around 300,000 yen." (I have no idea if that is even right. Can someone please give me an idea of how much a b-rank mission might pay?)

Naruto nodded before closing his eyes in thought. 'Hmm…on one hand, I get some serious cash that could help me in the long-run or I could get two new jutsu that could help me if I'm in a jam later…Well I do need to expand my ninjutsu arsenal. Kage Bunshin, Tajuu Kage Bunshin, Kawarimi, Shinra Tensei, Shunpo, and the Housenka no jutsu is a surprising arsenal for a genin like me to have but I can control all the elements, and learn almost any jutsu. I should a large quantity of jutsu that should vary between different elements……… Damnit! I hate it when I think over think things!' Naruto eyebrow twitched slightly before opening his eyes.

"Hey Jiji, I'll take the two jutsu?" Sarutobi nodded before biting his thumb to draw a little blood. He flipped through a hand-sequence before slamming both palms onto the ground. A poof of smoke was emitted before it cleared and revealed a wooden shelf filled with scrolls.

"These are some D-C-rank ninjutsu, from my personal ninjutsu library. Normally I would not allow just anyone to pick from this library but you are a special case." Sarutobi explained as he motioned Naruto to come pick the ninjutsu of his choice. The scrolls were separated by their ranks and their elements. After some light searching he came up with five he wanted to learn and after a hard elimination. He ended up with two c-ranks, Fuuton: Daitoppa and Suiton: Mizurappa. The shelf disappeared in another poof.

"Well, I guess that means I should get back to my office. I probably have a giant stack of paperwork to go through by now." Sarutobi mumbled the last part mostly to himself but Naruto heard it.

Smirking, Naruto turned to leave. "I better get going too. Today is when we are assigned to Genin teams, right?" Sarutobi nodded. "Well I'll see you later then Jiji?" And with that Naruto began to walk towards the Academy. Before he disappeared from view, he announced one last question over his shoulder.

"Hey, Jiji! How come you never use Kage Bunshin to do your paperwork?"

First, Sarutobi's face had a expression of pure shock before it adopted a why-the-fuck-did-I-not-think-of-that-myself expression before he summon three Kage Bunshins and sent them to do paperwork. He then walked to one of the post standing in the middle of the field where he began to repeatedly slam his head against it.

"Stupid…Stupid…Stupid…"


(The Academy...)

The room was abuzz with life. Graduates were talking aimlessly about their future life as a shinobi or how they were going to learn cool flashy jutsu to show-off or for most of the girls cases, how they were hoping to get on a certain Uchiha's team, and seducing him so they could be the Mrs. Uchiha which was why an annoying pink-haired girl and a blonde where fighting over a seat by the said Uchiha. This was the site that greeted Umino Iruka as he walked into the room.

"Okay, class. Settle down." Iruka spoke but was ignored as the graduates still chatted.

"Class, I said settle down!" He still was not heard and if he was, he was ignored. Iruka sighed before deciding to use his special jutsu for occasions like this.

"WILL YOU SHUT-UP AND LISTEN!" Iruka yelled as his head grew until he resembled a life-size bobble-head. Instantly the class quieted and was looking at Iruka.

Iruka raised a folder in his hand. "In here is the list of your team selections and your Jounin-sensei." He opened it and scanned the contents of the document before Iruka began to call the teams and Jounin-senseis. When he finished team 6, the class doors opened and in walked a blonde haired boy clad in what looked like black robes.

"Sorry, I'm late. Iruka-sensei, I was pulling some last minute training and had a small chat with Jiji." The room shifted its attention from the scarred chunin to the black-wearing boy.

Iruka blinked. 'Do I know him?' Iruka then noticed the now familiar blue ringed eyes of his favorite student. 'Oh…About time Naruto got out of that hideous jumpsuit.' "It's okay just please have a seat somewhere so I can continue." Naruto nodded before deciding to take a seat next to a pineapple-haired boy who had his head down against the desk. Pineapple boy glanced at him when he sat down, before muttering "troublesome appearance changing blondes" then went back to sleep.

Iruka spoke again. "Okay, Team Seven under Hatake Kakashi will be Uchiha Sasuke…" A boy who could easily be classified as an emo just simply stared out the window. After his name was called he turned his attention to Iruka, "….Hyuuga Hinata…" A shy girl lifted her head. "And…Uzumaki Naruto."

"WHAT! WHY DOES NARUTO GET TO BE ON SASUKE-KUN'S TEAM?! HE FAILED THE EXAMS AND BESIDES, NARUTO-BAKA IS NOT EVEN HERE!" yelled a pink-haired girl. The rest of the girls let out an echoing 'Yeah!' right behind her.

Iruka sighed; He was getting real tired of this shit. "Naruto passed a make-up exam yesterday, Sakura, and yes Naruto is here. Didn't you see him sit next to Shikamaru?" At this the entire class except Shikamaru who was still asleep, turned and gazed at the new and improved Naruto.

'That's Naruto!' echoed through everyone's minds. Naruto just gave them a lazy two-finger salute while grinning all the same. Iruka broke them out of their stupor by announcing the next team.

"Team 8 under Yuuhi Kurenai will be Haruno Sakura, Aburame Shino, and Inuzuka Kiba." The pink-haired girl, now known as Sakura, slumped at the mention of her team.

"Team 9 is still in circulation from last year. And last, Team 10 under Sarutobi Asuma will be Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru and Akimichi Chouji."

"WHAT! HOW COME I'M STUCK WITH LAZY BASTARD AND FAT ASS!" Ino yelled while jumping to her feet.

Iruka sighed. "The selections are final, there is no changing them. Come back here in one hour to meet your Jounin-senseis and Good luck with you future shinobi career." With this said Iruka left the room. Everybody ,with a few depressively, poured out of the door while Naruto simply shunpoed out the window and headed straight to his favorite ramen stand.

Three Hours Later....

Two hours ago, almost all the graduates returned and left with their Jounin-senseis. The only team that had yet to meet their sensei was Team Seven. While this annoyed them to no end, they still managed to find ways to pass the time. For Sasuke, It was thinking up many ways he could kill his brother, For Hinata, It fantasying about a blonde doing things that would most likely never happen in a millennium and for Naruto, it was doing push-ups while thinking of many ways to hurt his sensei for being late. Naruto was facing toward the entrance of the academy and froze mid-push-up when an unknown chakra appeared neared the Academy.

Naruto finished his last push-up. "He's here. He's walking towards the entrance now."

Sasuke glanced at him slightly. "And just how do you know that, dobe?"

"I have physic ability to sense people." Naruto said sarcastically. "In case you haven't notice, teme, my eyes have been upgraded and one of the new features is seeing chakra. And an unfamiliar chakra just entered the Academy."

"Hn, Whatever." Sasuke went back to his thoughts regarding his brother. Naruto shook his head before drawing a kunai.

"What are you doing, Naruto-kun?" stuttered Hinata when she noticed this.

"Simple I going to greet our sensei for being late." Replied Naruto while spinning the kunai on his finger.

Sasuke scoffed. "Dobe, our sensei is a Jounin. Do you actually think you could even touch him?" Before Naruto could reply the door to the room began to open…


One Hour Earlier….

Hatake Kakashi had two goals at life. One, was to own every copy of Icha Icha that was ever made or in the making and two, to get all the copies signed by the author.

So when he heard there was a new Icha Icha at his favorite book store, He just had to be one of the first to purchase a copy. Then he spent the next two hours trying to finish his old one so he could start on his new one. By then Kakashi realized that he had that genin team to pick-up, so he headed off toward the Academy. Still reading his old book.

When Kakashi arrived at the school, he expected his team to be quite irritated with him when he stepped into the room but what he did not expect was a kunai to fly past his face and imbed itself into the wall as soon as he walked in the said room.

"You really shouldn't be late, sensei."

A black blur charged him and Kakashi lazily raised his arm and blocked a kick to his head. Shifting, He grabbed the offending limb and threw his attacker back to the row of benches at which the assailant recovered and launched four shuriken at him. He pulled the kunai from the wall and deflected the on-coming shuriken.

Silence filled the room as the attacker stopped to reveal to be his blonde-haired charge. A shy girl in near the front looks like she's about to faint any second and a raven-haired boy was brooding to himself in the back. Seeing as the blonde wasn't going to attack again, Kakashi closed his one-eye in deep thought before giving them an eye-smile.

"Hmm…..My first impression of this team is………..I find one person interesting."


Well that's the end of chapter 3. If you are wondering if one of Kessen's jutsu was the Housenka no jutsu, then no. That was just a jutsu, Naruto chose to learn over the small timeskip. And I know someone is going to say something about the teams, but let me say this first. Wouldn't it be the dream team to have all of the three great doujutsu on the same squad under a guy who posses the one of them as well.

But hey, your reviews are what make me better, so you know the drill. Review.

Mostly Harmless. Out.
