Hey there everybody, the reviews have gotten me past 3 chapters, but lve also been criticized, though I dont mind, makes me realize what I need to change and trust me I will improve. But on the other hand, there have been complaints about hinata, and im gonna clarify something right here and now, hinata didn't oust him, but because she was always shy, I still think even now she'd be a little shy and still not have full confidence, so shed be too shy to confront him when everyone goes back to treating him like he was 6 again, but hey that's me, I will though have hinata and sakura have a one-on-one talk with naruto each. First hinata in this ch and sakura in the next one, but it will be narusaku, but hinata will also get some VERY good points in the romance department so please don't worry, anyways Mr. Sulu set a course for chapter 4. Also I read one piece and I remember this guy who was also a sage, but used his hair as a weapon using a technique called Seimei kikan, which ill make naruto explain in the ch, but the meaning of it means Life Return, and I looked up what real sages did in our world, which naruto will also explain and go with the technique, but the way im gonna use it is good so im gonna use it.
Don't own naruto……………….*cries in chamber* just…..just go…..i need time to mourn
I also don't own one piece or kumadori

"So, the old advisors, the old mummy, and the old hag, jeez, I might be the old sage if this keeps going." As Naruto had finished with his meet-and greet with the advisors Tsunade's fist quickly reminded him whos "old" and who's not.
"Right forgot, only 3 old people, my bad."
"Uzumaki Naruto this is serious, tsunade, you as well should know the seriousness of the situation, this is no time for idle chit chat, now as you know, the reason youre here is to help with defeating the Iwa-Mizu-Oto alliance, help restore ties with Suna, and to help turn the tide of the war, which has already cost us hundreds of ninja."
"Yeah yeah I know, and the only reason im here is to save the orphans of this and every village drawn in to this pathetic war, so a little respect, or my feet just might drag me back to myobokuzan, got it?" With this bold yet truly threatening statement both elders seemed to understand who had the true power, not even Danzo seemed to think him leaving was good what with all the reported lost ninja.
"Fine, we apologize for our rashness, but we need to implement you as quickly as possible, but first we will show you your old team, whom will accompany you on both S and SS missions vital to the war, Hatake, Haruno, Uchiha, enter." As Homura stated this, all 3 entered the room, all with somewhat happy faces as team 7's reuniting had been too long in the works.
"Of course before anything, to please the daimyo's and other beauracrats of the village, we will need you to prove your fighting ability to 3 teams of ANBU black Ops, naturally we assume this is easy, but this will be required if we will receive any war funds, so we ask nicely for you to seriously show your ability and to not hold back and joke around, understand?" Koharu stated factly, though he had his doubts the boy would take this seriosuly, he knew he would fight nonetheless.
"Sure, you got it, but Im not fighting any ANBU, and before anything else moves along in this meeting, I want these demands met, or I walk out the door right now!" As naruto stated this sasuke couldn't help but add.
"What, still a dobe, all act no power." Sasuke's bold statement caused no visible anger to naruto, if anything, naruto seemed to be happy about that statement.
"Good one teme, but shut up before your six feet under just like mommy and daddy, and thanks to you, your big brother."
As the insult flew out of Naruto's lips and into Sasuke's ears, Sasuke's hand became a finely controlled electric conduit for his chidori, as it was put right under Naruto's throat.
"SHUT UP DOBE OR I WILL KILL YOU RIGHT HERE AND PROVE THIS VILLAGE DOESN'T NEED YOU, ONLY THE SUPREME ABILITY OF THE UCHIHA." Naruto simply shaked and sarcastically added. "pppllleassee sssaaassuukkkee-sssaammmaaa bbee gggeeennntttllleee." As naruto laughed on the floor, almost painfullly writhing after his joke, sasuke seemed to calm down, the only plausible reason being he got some satisfaction knowing naruto was still a immature brat, meaning he was probably still as strong as the brat he was.
"Hnn, whatever dobe."
As naruto got up, he seemed to collect himself, and started again on his 'demands'. " I want these things met as soon as possible, one, for the fight I only want to verse one person, two if I win, any and everything I want is free of charge, three, I want the orphans to have front-row seats to this, I want them to see one of their own, to help them believe they can be someone, like I had with Iruka, and four, I want the entire village to bow to me, and say "PLEASE HELP US NARUTO-SAMA" all at once, then I will help in whatever way you wish of me."
Naruto's demands, at the least were not crazy, like asking for women to bed, or control of the council, on the other hand, he could possibly bankrupt them if he could have whatever he wanted, but if they werent met, they'd be dead instead, so they thought of a counter-argue.
"Fine, on two conditions, one the village will bow only after you have proven yourself in the one-on-one fight and two, you will have a limit on how much you buy a day, but it will be a high amount, do we have a deal?"
"Yeah, fine, ill accept."
With the "negotiations" of the meeting done, all that remained was who Naruto wished to fight, when asked, he simply stated
"Sasuke Uchiha."
"But, naruto, team 7 just became legit, you want to already start a fight with sasuke-kun, why?" Sakura stated, with the recurring thoughts of the hospital rooftop in her mind, as if it had happened right in front of her all over again.
Sasuke himself was surprised with this, the rivalry they had was to see who the strongest was, not to one-up the other in humilation.
"Im doing this for sasuke's sake, im trying to be the good guy here, if I don't pull that stick out his ass now, he'll just keep thinking hes so good, when in reality, hes only about as half as good as me, im trying to teach him humility, you guys are the bad guys here, for letting his attitude stay, im trying to help my dear old friend." Naruto said, almost looking vurtious, but smiling wickedly
"Who are you kidding, dobe, you just wanna end the rivalry because you lost at the Valley of the End, and want a rematch, only to lose again, but fine, I accept, tomorrow at training field 1, its big enough for a battle of our size, wouldn't you agree?"
"Yeah perfect teme, cant wait to show you sage mode and my little upgrades." "Now then I have a 5-star hotel to enjoy, courtesy of konoha hehe."
As Naruto walked off, sakura couldn't help but realize that even with naruto back, HE wasn't back, just a pessimistic man, angered at a world that had denied him the happiness he gave others in exchange for his. Though, no one would say he didn't deserve to be either happy or angry, with all hed endured, she was surprised when he was banished that he didn't just let the kyuubi out and end it all.
"Hatake, Haruno, Uchiha, please wait a moment." Homura stated getting a file from a ANBU. "Yes Homura-sama, what is this?"
"Uzumaki's bingo book bounty and specifications, we need you to personally make sure hes safe while you do missions, undoubtedtly with a bounty like this, the enemies will go to him like flies to sugar, we need him alive and unharmed throughtout the entire war, if he was overwhelmed or had to use a technique costly enough to put him out of commission for even a month would hurt the war effort, so all three of you need to protect him, Haruno, we hear nothing but applause of your abilities from Tsunade and we expect nothing less then what she says, understand?"
"Yes Homura-sama, I'll make sure naruto's in good health before we reach home every mission."
With that the team was told to take the day off, especially sasuke as he needed to prepare for the fight.
Naruto was walking towards the orphanage, wanting to see the children there and play with them and tell them they would have a front row seat to a fun spectacle that would make their dreams happy for a while when he met up with the Konohamaru Corp, seemingly just getting back from a mission.
"Yo konohamaru, hows it going?"
With that greeting came the exasperrated yell of.
"NARUTO-Nii-san,its really you!"
Had konohamaru been younger, hed no doubt go into naruto's arms for a brotherly hug, but he was 18, and a jounin, he was to old for that, naruto was just happy he was still considered a big brother.
"So 18 huh, hows it feel?" "Feels great, all these super cool missions are great, and the Rasengan you taught me has really come in handy the last few years, thank you nii-san."
'Heh if only he was 8 again like when I first met him, I would tell him he'd be perfect to take on the Toad Sage mantle after I go, but I need someone younger, at least 5 or 6, oh well, hes meant for bigger things, hes gotta take over my dream of hokage for me and him now.'
"Where you headed to nii-san, Ichiraku?"
"No, im gonna visit the orphanage, Im fighting Sasuke tomorrow, and I got the kids a front row seat, and im gonna tell them personally, so they can look forward to it."
"Wow nii-san, that's nice, well unfortunately we have almost non-stop missions cuz of the war, so we only have 2 hours of rest, so we need to get to our homes to relax while we can, sorry nii-san."
"No problem, konohamaru, I understand, ill probably be doing every S or SS mission out there, see ya."
"Wait nii-san, before you go I wanna say…..im sorry for not sticking up for you, we tried, but no one would listen to a bunch of kids, I should have done more."
"Konohamaru, never apologize to me again, you did everything you could, I will never ask for more then that, to me you're the next hokage, so don't stay in the past, train for the future of this village, and for your dream, got it, big brothers orders."
With that order, konohamaru immediately gave a thumbs up and said. "Of course, who else could lead this village?"
When Naruto arrived at the orphange, he was glad to see it was well kept looking, and many people were watching the kids, making sure they were being safe, and they had plenty of toys for the younger ones as well. But when he got closer, he saw one child, a blonde-haired boy, punching a tree, this intrigued Naruto as he didn't seem lonely as naruto was, but didn't want to play with the others. He went up to the kid and aksed him.
"Why ya punching the tree?"
"To become strong, so I can beat all those stupid villagers who glare at me, ill show em, I have friends here, ill gang up on those villagers with my friends and beat them up, then they'll stop glaring at me." When naruto heard about the glares his anger rearose quickly, and immediately he felt for the child, but was at least happy he had friends.
"Why do they glare at you?"
"Sakura-san says its because of some guy who had my hair color who was wrongfully treated by the village, and they think im his kid, I never knew my dad, why should I suffer for someone who might not even be him."
"So you wish to inspire fear to make them stop?"
"Yeah, I learned along time ago, pain is like math, a positve and a ngeative just make a negative, but two negatives make a positive, so if you show them hatred itll cancel each other out, none of that ' forgive and forget', that's just crap spewed by you grownups.
'This kid, I can tell his anger, just like mine, and already his ideals are like Peins, I want to say hes a genius but I thought that way too after what happened to me.'
"Tell me, whats your name kid, I like you."
"Naota, baka-sennin, now leave me alone, I wanna get a good night sleep for the match tomorrow."
"Youre not fighting, and how'd you know I was a sage."
"Sakura-san said the guy learned senpo, you fit the description of the guy who saved the village, so I guessed, and when you beat that sasuke guy im gonna beat you, if you beat that pein butthead, and I beat you, this village will respect me, and ill be looked up with a commanding presence of a superior shinobi."
"Well Naota, good luck, I don't pull punches, seeya gaki."
"SHUT UP BAKA-SENNIN, JUST WAIT, ILL KICK YOUR TOAD ASS TOMORROW"
"Naota, watch your language, the young ones are here, you might be 9, but you should never swear." One of the supervisors scolded.
"Hmm, whatever, back to training."
As Naruto walked to his hotel to rest for the match tomorrow, as he put the key in the fancy new room, he suudenly felt a familiar presence.
"Hello Hinata, whct'cha doing out so late, s'bout 10, you should be asleep."
As he said this Hinata jumped out of her hiding space, and walked over to Naruto.
"Gomen, Naruto-kun, its just you've been acting so harsh to everyone I didn't wanna agitate you further."
"Hinata, those people derserve it, you've doen nothing but be a good friend me to me, even…………telling me what I am to you, im sorry I wasted my love on sakura, I know the pain, please forgive me." As naruto stated this, he got on his hands and knees.
"Hinata, because of you, I inadvertently met my father, with the 8-tails coming out, for that much alone, I owe you a life-debt, and you're selfless sacrifice to save me, never will a face of anger be on this face in your presence, I want you to understand this right now, and never forget it."
As naruto got up, hinata couldn't help but hug and cry on naruto's shoulder. "Im so sorry for not defending you, I was still so shy, even after I told you how I felt, I just didn't want to be hurt, since you became so distant, and then by the time I thought it's be better to face you, you were bansihed, please forgive me."
As hinata cried on his shoulder, he couldn't help but think what he'd do to this village to force it to be better, If only he was feared, hed MAKE them change their ways in the village, and if they didn't like it, screw them, but he held no politicial power, and as strong as he was, he couldn't change free-will, but oh could he bend the body that held the will.
"Hinata I cant forgive you, you did nothing wrong, you've always been shy about your feelings, and became self-conscious because of it, and after you admitted your feelings, you only became more at the thought of me rejecting you, I cant blame you, I wouldn't want to put that pain on you, I know it well, so please stop crying."
Naruto's kind words helped soothe hinata and they both went in for coffee and to talk about their lives, when hinata told naruto how she finally gained enough of her father's respect to be the heir of the hyuuga, naruto was elated, even more to know she'd immediately destroy the act of using the sealing jutsu her family had used for so long.
As time passed, hinata had to leave, due to her having to judge the winner, as she was now a political representative of the hyuuga family.
As hinata left nauto thought to himself.
'Please hinata let go of your feelings for me, the only thing that will come with loving me is pain, I care for you too much to give you that.'
With the rise of the sun came Naruto, eating some ramen with a note from tsunade.
"I knew youd complain to us if there wasn't any, so here, theres 5 weeks worth, at least for a normal person."
"Hmm, like she has any right to say whos normal,vain, greedy, and an alchoholic, eh what are ya gonna do?"
As naruto ate his ramen, he couldn't help but wonder what the outcome of the battle would mean for team 7 as a whole. Sasuke obviously would be pissed that he'd lost, but the last time he lost to naruto led him to defect from the village, had naruto in fact never beaten gaara, and sasuke had, maybe sasuke would have stayed. But then, sakura would have probably died. As the thoughts on the various outcomes crossed his mind, he remembered that he never visited the onsan the other day.
"Hehe, well I got time right?"
And with that, he was off to enjoy some relaxing hot water and sleep.
4 Hours later
The training field 1 was built specifically for exhibition matches of jounin to see who was superior. It was a wide open field for the various jutsus, and had a stand to hold the entire village and any additional spectators. Stood around the stone walls that surrouned the field were sealing ANBU, so no jutsu would harm the bystanders. Truly this battlefield was meant for their kind of fight.
"Alright children, single file, we may have front row seats but we need to stick close and stay near sakura-san to make sure were all here and okay." Said the overseer of the orphanage.
"Hello sakura-san I did a head check on all the ones 5 and above, the young ones and babies are with other supervisors behind us."
"Good, I wouldn't want the babies eyes or ears to be hurt too bad, knowing sasuke-kun and naruto, this battle will not be quick and silent, for all we know, putting the children so close was a bad idea."
"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING SAKURA-SAN, I NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN BAKA-SENNIN WINS I CAN IMMEDIATELY GET ON THE FIELD AND GET THE ADVANTAGE OF SURPRISE."
With Naota's boisterous yell, sakura couldn't help but worry that he might try to get on the field during the fight, rather then after.
"How do you know naruto will win, you've never seen either one fight?"
"Cuz baka-sennin is strong, I can feel it, I choose my rivals based on whos more powerful, not whos more of a drama queen, like that weird moody guy, whas his name sasuke."
With that came a accompanying yell of "YEAH", as naruto had come to them the other day to play, and imparted with these words to make them feel good about themselves.
"For those of you think those who are naturally better are the superior ones in life, youre wrong, those whos blood is not noble, but shed every day working hard are the ones who will become the greatest, im living proof, tomorrow youll see me beating the last Uchiha, natural ability vs hard work, so don't blink even once, got it."
To them, those words meant hope, hope that if they tried, they too would become great, and maybe even good enough that someone would want them in their life, for this, they consider naruto their Master and Boss. It didn't surprise sakura then that they all had written a giant "GO NARUTO-OYABUN" in giant kanji, all of them contributing to hold it up, even Naota, who even though never knew his dad, had hoped that he was as strong as naruto.
The daimyo's had their asses kissed by the council all day to make sure large grants for the war would be in their pockets by the end of the day, truth be told, the daimyo's didn't falter once in their belief in "Noble Uchiha blood overcoming, filthy gutter blood", and as such promised full funds if the uchiha lost. This greatly brightened even Danzo's day knowing a full days fund for death might be his if the uchiha lost.
The spectators themselves had become interested in the fight and the stands were fully filled to the brim, but one thing remained for everybody to wonder.
Where was the mighty Toad Sage?
"Hnn, chickened out I guess, ill wait though, 10 years since that day, I can wait for the ANBU to find him."
'Where is he, its not like naruto to chicken out of a fight' Tsunades mind raced thinking where he could be. But her fears were replaced by anger when the ANBU had whispered. "Hes in the onsan, godaime-sama, sleeping, my men are waking him as we speak."
With that in mind, she now had a good reason to bop him instead of the old baa-chan suffix he no longer used as much.
Within 15 minutes, a naruto wrapped in nothing but a towel, still wet and sleepy, was being gently poked towards the stands.
"Hmm, whas going on, trying to sleep here, cant we do this tomorrow, I still got 20 minutes I payed for here?"
"NO, YOU LITTLE BRAT, THE DEAL WAS FIGHT OR NO MONEY OR BOWING."
With Tsunades words ringing in Naruto's ears he had become about half awake now and saw Naota in the stands, thinking hed better tell the kid to stand back during the fight he saw sakura and said.
"Why the hell are you with them, the invite was for them to be in the front row, not you, go by your sasuke-kun and tell him what a baka I am to make him feel strong."
Naruto's harsh words did nothing but cut at sakura's self-consciouss thoughts, but nonetheless, she promised no more tears, she was gonna stick by it.
"Im one of the overseers for the childrens safety, I feed and change the babies and nurse the little ones wounds, when I have free time, so im part of this goup, now go to center stage, you have a fight."
Naruto though still sleepy, still knew why he was poked here, and started his walk to the center, still clinging to the towel.
"What is this a joke, whys he only in a towel, is he mocking the uchiha kid or something?" Said the person occupying the seat next to sakura.
"No, hes just……….…….half asleep and doesn't know hes just in a towel." She said while a large sweat and gloomy look overshadowed her face.
'This wont turn out good, for anyone's ego, I can tell.' She stated
As Naruto sleepily walked to the center of the stadium he heard Naota shout.
"YOU'D BETTER NOT LOSE BAKA-SENNIN, ITS MY JOB TO KICK YOUR ASS, NOT SOME MOODY DUCK BUTTHEAD."
"NAOTA, WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE, HE IS YOUR ELDER, DO NOT INSULT HIM!"
"Whatever baka-sennin is the only one whos got my respect."
"Jeez, have I got myself into some crap." Naruto knew by the end of the day, he'd be more annoyed and tired then he was in the morning.
"Ah well, s'for the kids."
"This match will have no time limit, and will only end when one of you loses consciousness, do you both understand these rules?"
"Yeah, you got that dobe?"
As naruto was snoring, his hand let go of the towel, revealing his birthday suit.
"PUT SOME CLOTHES ON YOU IDIOT!" The entire crowd roared, the councilors had enough trouble closing all the childrens eyes, but their own eyes at his length.
"Oh yeah, forgot, gotta wear clothes, someone get me some pants, or something?" Naruto was staring at the crowd, not realizing how creepy it was to see his entire body.
After a lighting quick dash to his hotel to get clothes, and naruto putting only his pants on, the rest being "Unnecessary", the fight was about to begin, when Tsunade quickly added.
"Do not kill each other, this is just an exhibition match, no intent to kill." To some degree, she could trust sasuke, he had cooled down over the years, it was naruto's unknown new personality and mindset on who his friends were that troubled her.
Before anything else happened, naruto made two shadow clones wait and meditate by the children, to keep them company, one for the kids, and one especially for naota.
"Alright, so what do we wait for a whis…..uhhhhhhhh"
Sasuke immediately kicked naruto in the gut, hurling him to the wall.
"First hit, early victory, dobe, remember it from now on."
As the dust cleared, naruto could be seen getting up with no visible trouble.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT BAKA-SENNIN, GET DUCKBUTT OR HE'LL DO THAT CHEAP SHOT, COME ON, I CHOSE TO BEAT YOU CUZ YOU LOOKED STRONGER, AND IM NEVER WRONG, SO GET UP AND FIGHT!"
"Hes not even scratched naota, don't worry, hes just insulting sasuke-kun, to make him angry, hes not even caring because he thinks hes already won." Sakura somberly said.
'If hes gonna do nothing but mock sasuke-kun, sasuke-kun might use that technique, and if he does out of anger, it could lead to more then them being hurt.'
"JEEZ TEME, that was cheap, my skin's got some dirt on it, im gonna need the whole afternoon in the onsan to make it silky smooth again." As naruto dusted himself off, sasuke immediately dashed to him, kusanagi in hand.
"Im gonna end this now, without any delay, dobe!"
With that statement, sasuke's kusanagi was inches away from naruto's head, when easily naruto's hand stopped it with just a finger pointed at the tip.
"Come on now, first you dirty my skin, now im gonna need a band-aid for this boo-boo, mind if I borrow this blade for a quick haircut?"
Naruto quickly cut off his hair, up to his neck, making him look the 4th, to the spectators in the crowd.
"Just thought I'd make it easier to see, cant trust your eyes, if its muderous intent on them, its sulking."
With that, naruto smiled and the battle quickly became serious, and somewhat one-sided as well.
No matter what, naruto's movements were too fast for sasuke, and his pride wouldn't allow him to use sharingan.
"Whats the matter, teme, for every punch you throw, I hit you 5 times more, want me to slow down a bit?"
"SHUT UP DOBE, I SWEAR THIS BLADE WILL BE SLICING YOUR NECK!"
As much as sasuke hated this, the look on naruto's face as he would admit defeat allowed sasuke's pride to falter to activate his sharingan.
With that in place, the battle seemed to even out, much to sasuke's dismay.
'Dammit even with this, im barely above him, he should be struggling just to catch up to me.'
'Crap, teme's speed increased, I might need one of the clones for sage mode.'
Both of them, once or twice clashed chidori to rasengan, forcing them miles apart from each other, both in a sweat from the force of the each one's jutsu.
'Thanks a lot kakashi, cuz you decided to play favorites, this battle has gone on to the point where I gotta try now!'
"Kage Bunshin No Jutsu"
With 4 extra clones beside him, two powered Cho-Oodam-Rasengans, while the other two helped maintain control.
"Alright you know what to do boys!"
The naruto's quickly, but in a predictably swervy path, went to sasuke, though the rasengans brought fear to the sasuke, the way they handled trying to trick him only made him calm down, and laugh.
Each one flew and landed near sasuke, though sasuke quickly jumped far away, easily avoiding them both, though naruto's boisterous yell, made him get on guard.
"They weren't meant to hurt ya, their shockwave is good enough to put you off!". Naruto quickly appeared behind sasuke, ready to strike, when he backed off noticing nothing but snakes.
"Come on, im the TOAD SAGE, animals and me kinda have a thing, they wont attack me."
"They don't need to, I just needed a quick second to distract you, dobe!"
Sasuke's giant fireball raced to naruto's position, and naruto seeing no way out seeing as it was 3 times his size, knew what he had to do.
"Jeex, that technique always gives me a sore throat." "Fuuton: Piercing Roar." Naruto quickly breathed in a whole two lungs of air, and exhaled it, roaring like the kyuubi in its 4-tail form. The fireball was immediately put out like a candle to a breeze. Sasuke cursed his rivals expansion on his natural element to the point where even the chain of elements strengths/weaknesses didn't apply, he'd have to rethink his strategy, but knew immediately what he needed to do.
"It's the only thing I can never lose to him in."
As naruto coughed till he was on the floor, he was eye to eye with sasuke.
"SHARINGAN."
In naruto's mindscape, sasuke tried to remember where the cage was, if he could try to help the kyuubi overpower naruto, yamato would have to stop him, and he'd win the match.
"This is low, even for you, sasuke, trying to let the kyuubi out, I thought it was your families job to control this damn beast. Not let him run rampant for a cheap victoty."
"Whatever means I win, I win."
"It wont work, I've 'played around' with the seal, I got this new tweak to the seal, its one of my other upgrades, though if I did it here, I couldn't guarantee anyone's life, including my own, so that will have to wait now wont it?"
"You kept bragging about a new sage mode, but im surprised your ego hasn't made you use it now, I wonder why?"
"You gotta pass the test first sasuke, then I show you it."
As both conversed, naruto quickly became a blur to sasuke and soon the real world reappered to him, followed by a punch from what he guessed was an extra kage bunshin in the event the original was incapacitated.
"You passed the entrance exams, so you get to see sage mode, lets see if you pass the graduation test now?"
Naruto quickly closed his eyes and disspelled both the clones used in the attacks, the one next to him , and one gathering chakra by the children, and reopened his eyes, showing his orange eyes, vertical pupils, and black outline, much like gaara's.
With this, as well came an intense feeling of chakra emanating from naruto to which sasuke felt a huge pressure on his body.
"Kuso, I need to use it, If I don't use either technique, the damage to my eyes will be minimal." As naruto's chakra was calming down and he opened his eyes, he noticed sasuke holding his hand over his face.
"What is he a kabuki actor about to be introduced in the scene?"
When sasuke could feel his eyes change, his hand became electrified and was whipped behind him as he sped to naruto as fast as his element.
"MANGEKYO SHARINGAN!"
"Jeez, that's it, a little speed boost, sage mode offers a lot more in terms of ability, here let me give you a free sample."
Naruto easily made a rasenshuriken one handed without even looking like he needed to concentrate on forming the wind chakra.
He immediately threw it at sasuke as he was running to naruto, both simply smirked, and sasuke easily dodged while naruto kept his smirk.
"Should have jumped over it, instead of just swerving around it, lets see how fast you can run. Naruto immediately made the shuriken's blades get longer and longer unitl they began catching up to him.
"shit how far can the blades expand?" The more he kept running the farther they crept until it stopped.
'2 miles, have to remember that if he tries it again, wait where is he?'
"JUST CUZ I THREW IT DOESN'T MEAN I CANT RETHROW IT, BAKA."
Naruto immediately ran towards the shuriken and using some handsigns made it retract the blades till it was just a normal Fuuton:Rasengan, and then made the blades begin their expansion and rethrew it.
"All im doing is making the blades retract, its not costing me any chakra, I could do this all day you could say."
And so naruto did, until sasuke messed up and tripped, about to be blown away by the shuriken, he made a critical decision.
'Get hit by shuriken, or simply speedup my blindness? Dammit, oh well, shinobi's lives arent long, and besides, ill have an heir soon enough, my life wont matter after hes born, all I have to do after hes born is teach him to use the sharingan, just wait dobe, you wont forget the might of the Uciha after this!'
Sasuke immediately closed his left eye and concentrated his chakra to his right eye.
"AMATERASU!"
"Shit is that bastard crazy, he'll kill both of us, have to get away!"
Naruto ran like hell to the other side of the stadium, back against the onlookers.
"Whoa, that's the Uchiha's legendary doujutsu technique, the fire that burns everything, Amaterasu!"
"Yeah, I heard only by doing some crazy ritual can you do it, if youre an Uchiha."
"Wow, know what it is?"
"THIS ISNT THE TIME TO BE AMAZED, THAT FIRE CAN KILL ANYONE, AND THE BAKA CANT CONTROL IT, IT JUST BURNS EVERYTHING, INCLUDING US, SO SHUT UP AND BE ON GUARD!" Naruto was pissed that they honestly thought they were safe.
'Dumbasses, just cuz hes a fellow ninja doesn't mean hell do his best to make sure they aren't hurt.'
Naruto needed a strategy and quick if he was gonna survive this. 'I could undo the seal, and use that form, I know for a fact that form can withstand Amaterasu, but im not sure the sealers here arent as competent as the frogs, no, I cant use that form, but the sage form, might have to finish this quickly, good thing I learned how to seal Amaterasu from fukusaku-sensei.'
Unfortunately for Naruto, he did not know that sasuke had in fact learned to control Amaterasu, and while still distracted by the fire, didn't see the electrified sword pierce his right lung and push him to the stands, breaking the stone bleachers.
And just as quickly as the sword was made, both it and Amaterasu were gone, and sasuke came from behind the flames, a victoriosu smirk adorning his face.
"Never doubt an Uchiha, dobe, I learned to control Amaterasu years ago, when I versed the eight tails."
Naota was astonished that naruto had been defeated.
"WHAT THE HELL BAKA-SENNIN, GET OUT OF THERE AND WIN, COME ON, WHAT THE HELL KINDA SENNIN ARE YOU IF YOU GET BEAT BY THAT MOODY OKAMA, GET UP AND WIN!"
Besides that little outburst, no one else could speak, for the entire fight, even the simplest villager knew naruto was playing with sasuke, but to think he lost so violently and quickly.
"Hahahahahah, that's what happens when gutter blood challenges noble blood." All the daimyo's seemed to be in unamic agreement upon this statement, and continued to laugh at the failure of naruto.
But that quickly changed to a shocked gasp when naruto shuffled out of the stone, limping, but conscious. But the true spine tingler was his laugh, almost as if he wanted sasuke to do this to him.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, JEEZ TEME WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG, GOOD NEWS THOUGH, YOU PASSED THE GRADUATION EXAM, BUT BEFORE YOU LEAVE US FOR HIGHER LEARNING, LET ME JUST TELL YOU THE REASON A SAGE DOES WHAT HE DOES, SO WHEN I SHOW YOU MY TECHNIQUE YOU UNDERSTAND."
Naruto quickly got out and went to Naota and patted him on the head.
"Thanks naota, cuz of youre shrill, girly yell, I regained enough consciousness to get up sooner then sasuke would have gotten to me."
"WHAT GIRLY YELL, THAT WAS THE BATTLE CRY OF A MAN, MAYBE IF YOU WERE ONE, YOUD BE ABLE TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE!"
"Hah, proabably, hey after this is done, wanna get some ramen?"
"Yeah, that stuff is pretty good."
"Good, then just listen and watch."
Naruto began to dust himself off and began his explanation of a sages purpose in life.
"First off, sasuke, why do you think I look so buffed out?"
"IM NOT GAY WHY WOULD I CARE TO KNOW!" Sasuke immediately lost his patience but was halted when naruto stopped him.
"Its so if this situation happened, the muscle would be big enough to absorb the blow, and still make sure im conscious enough to use my technique, which leads me to the explanation of why a sage is a sage."
"Its actually kind of sad, the point of a sage is to be as one with nature as can be, to practice Senpo, and harness natural energy to control involuntary functions of the body, thereby creating the appex of man, but after he reaches this stage, he is to go no farther in his practice, any farther, and he would tread on the path to godhood, a sage is a sage not for power, but simply to be one with nature again, as we are supposed to be. I have reached that appex, and the technique im gonna show you will show you a human at its truest limits, get ready, I cant promise more then 6 minutes before my body uses every ounce of energy, all that ramen back then really helped give me a natural layer of reserve fat for energy to use."
"SENPO: SEIMEI KIKAN!"
Naruto immediately grasped his knees and seemed to be fighting a lot of pain. His body seemed to become a shiny light hue of red, and his hair began to grow immediately faster back down to his original size. He clenched his knees tighter as it seemed the veins on his body became visible. His canines and nails grew to the size they were in his kyuubi form, he soon even looked like he grew 2 in and his skin seemed paper thin, but soon went back to normal, Naruto gasped in pain one final time as his chakra exploded and surrounded the entire stadium.
When naruto seemed not be in pain anymore he stood up and through harsh breaths said.
"This is…….the appex……….of a human……..every cell using the energy in my body to the max, my heart racing twice as fast as normal, leading to a high amount of energy, my lungs almost completely inhaling nothing but pure oxygen, and my brain's neurons increase my reaction time to the absolute limit, all the important involuntary actions we have no control over, I now decide how much work they do, with this my body is Olympian, come on, just see if you could touch me, if you do, Ill imediately forfeit(1)."
"Stop thinking youre above me dobe, its not healthy to lie to yourself."
Sasuke immediately went after naruto, though simply seemed to take a step and vanished, reappearing behind sasuke and elbowing him in the back, the reappearin in front of him and gut-punching him. Naruto then kneed sasuke to the air, and appeared above him using both arms to make two Rasengans.
"Rasenrengan(2)."
Sasuke was pelted by two rasengans in each hand, and rocketed back to the ground, but before he could even reach it, naruto once again gut-busted sasuke back to the arena.
"Get up teme, wheres that uchiha pride now, I doubt you can even breathe properly, let alone stay conscious enough to fight me at a level where you'd stand a chance."
"bleh, uhhh, hahahah dobe, you really are stupid, AMATER……"
Naruto's hand immediately covered sasuke's right eye, while his other had uppercutted sasuke to the air, followed by a kick back to the stands.
Naruto picked sasuke up by his collar, and something happened within naruto's mind. For some reason, the events of his childhood reappeared within his mind, almost like a movie in fast-motion. His birthdays ignored and beaten, sasuke's birthdays where hes showered by gifts. Naruto who struggled simply to keep up, sasuke easily performing a katon jutsu, while naruto could barely do D rank jutsu. Sasuke overcrowded by sakura, ino, and any other girl you could think of, naruto who never even got one date from sakura after all he did for her. Sasuke, taught chidori by kakashi as he was left to a closet pervert who couldn't even teach him water walking. Sasuke, welcomed back to the village like royalty, naruto banished because he was nothing but the 'replacement'.
'Sasuke, sasuke, sasuke, sasuke,SASUKE,SASUKE, IM GONNA KILL HIM'
Naruto immediately raised his other hand, and began to club sasuke with it, right hook, left hook, right hook, left hook, on and on, never ending. All the while naruto not even noticing the pool of blood forming under him and sasuke, and the odd sound of a 'CRACK', he only remembered all the times he was unjustly treated while sasuke was thought of as a king, and the thought of finally balancing the world's unjust treatment.
"Hey naruto stop it, you won, eveyone help me." Shikamaru yelled.
Immediately, kiba, shino, kakashi, kotetsu, izumo, choji, sakura, ino, and tsunade all tried to stop naruto, but all unamimously thought.
'jeez all of us and hes just slightly stopping, we need more ninja.'
"All available ninja, help us detain naruto at once!" Tsunade shouted.
After what seemed like the entire konoha ninja force stopped him, he seemed to calm down long enough to let sasuke go.
"Hah hah hah hah hah, that my good dumbasses is what a true elite can do, hey sakura, s'gonan be pretty hard to look at sasuke when you fnally get to around to screwing him now isnt it?"
"DID YOU JUST ATTEMPT TO KILL SASUKE SIMPLY BECAUSE OF JEALOUSY, I CAN BARELY FEEL A PULSE TSUNADE-SAMA!"
"No, not because of jealousy for you, out contempt of how we each were treated, when I was nothing but a godsend for this village, while he almost killed a fellow ninja, I simply evened out the world."
Wit that he released the jutsu on himself and seemed to shrink a small bit, and his skin became its normal hue, though his hair and nails were still the same.
"TO ALL KONOHA DUMBASSES, AS OF NOW AT TOMORROW AFTERNOON, EVERY AND ALL NINJA AND CITIZEN MUST BOW TO ME AND ASK FOR MY HELP, AND ANY AND ALL THINGS I WISH FOR ARE FREE OF CHARGE, IF YOU WISH TO COMPLAIN, THE COUNCIL ELDERS WILL TAKE ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS, BY THE WAY, I ALSO WISH TO SAY RIGHT NOW THAT I HAVE BEATEN YOURE GREATEST NINJA, WITHOUT THE KYUUBI, SHOWING THAT HE IS WEAK, SO IN A WAY BECAUSE HE WAS SO ARROGANT, YOU MUST BOW, SO TRY TO DETER QUESTIONS TO HIM AS WELL AS TO WHY HE WAS SO WEAK, THANK YOU AND PLEASE BE CAREFUL IN AVOIDING THE LARGE HOLE IN THE STANDS, HAVE A GREAT DAY!"
He went to naota and patted him on the head.
"Sorry I lost control like that kid, did I scare you?"
" A little but you still won, uh what was your name baka-sennin?"
"Naruto, don't forget it brat."
"I like baka-sennin better, hee hee."
"Whatever, whats your favorite ramen, mines extra pork?"
"Shrimp ramen is the best."
"Hold on for a sec I need to talk to sakura bout something."
"HEY SAKURA, THE KID HERE IS MY RESPONSIBILITY NOW, IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT, SAY NO NOW!"
Seeing as sakura was helping to stabilize sasuke he heard nor saw any sign that he was heard.
"Okay kid, youre my responsibility now, youre coming home with me."
Naota's eyes widened at the prospect of a father, especially one like him.
"Really, you mean it, youre gonna be my dad?"
"I guess, but more like your master, im gonna train you one day In Senpo, you have that drive like I do, just a little misguided, but ill help you with that, but yeah, you can call me dad, if you want ill call you son?"
Naota's eyes watered, he finally had a dad, and someone who seemed like he valued him.
"Thank you, I promise ill be a good son."
"Hey, you don't need to be good, I don't want you to believe ill leave you if you simply act bad, I was a prankster too, so be yourself, now lets get that ramen."
He picked naota up like one would a barrel, arm around the stomach, and holding him to the side.
As both left the arena, everyone didn't notice the two happy blonds walking off, the only bit of happyness in the whole area.
_____________________________________________________
Jeez, 8k words, that's more then all other 3 chapters combined, well I stillt think the fight wasn't too good, but ill let you judge that, and if you have any ideas to help me with fight scenes please do, this is an adventure.
(1)I looked up why sages do what they do, its to learn how to control involuntary functions, as they believe it was a barrier humans were meant to overcome, what I did was, I remembered how individual cells work, how organs work, and thought how to make it a good technique, I hope you like it
(2)Rasenrengan is a sage technique shown in ch 420-429, where two rasengans are wielded, I thought it needed to be included, as I always hoped the manga would do that
If sasuke seemed too weak please tell me, cuz they might be fighting again, and I want to know if I made him seem capable enough. And finally, the fox transformation im thinking about will be further explained in 2 or 3 chs, I think I like the fox one better, but its too perfect and in all essence if I made him use it, sasuke would have to die, or it wouldn't seem the same when I use it later. Well review and enjoy.
