Chapter 3 training
Namikaze Estates, 16 days to the chuunin exams
Naruto woke up ready for another day of training with his fiancé, Ao, and Chojuro. So far it was going great chujuro improved naruto's reflexes by dodging his hamekiri or a katana as a drill to help him dodge the juuken strikes that made the hyuuga so feared. Ao was training him in staying in the dead zone, the 5-10 meter spot where a hyuuga's long range are to close but his short range cannot reach. But the main work Ao was doing was gathering intel on his opponents, at first naruto thought it was cheating. But that earned him a contemptuous remark from Ao. "Are you a ninja or a samurai? I don't know what konoha teaches these days but we ninja don't follow 'fair' and 'right'. We do whatever it takes to win back in my day-" kami knows that geezer likes to ramble.
But currently he was eating some ramen while getting ready for ninjutsu training?
"Naruto, it's not healthy to eat ramen all the time, especially considering that you're still growing". Mei chided in a motherly like way to her fiancé.
"Yes mother" naruto responded causing mei to get tick marks on her head.
Then at that point Ao came bursting through the door "Mizukage-sama, Mizukage-sama! After he took a few breaths and composed himself, Ao told Mei and Naruto what his findings on his latest surveillance trip .
Flashback start
"Alright sasuke, I an going to teach you my one original technique, the chidori." Kakashi informed him, "However I want something in return, you are to kill your teammate in the finals with it,but he has someone strong training him so he will defeat neji."
"Of course sensei he will die" Sasuke said without hesitation as he will do anything for power.
"Good now, this technique is an a-rank technique and is my strongest technique. With it the demon will die"!
Flashback end
"My sensei wants to kill the son of his sensei" Naruto said out of shock with so many emotions running through him he was having trouble comprehending the world around him.
"Naruto-"Mei started only to get cut off.
"I-I'm sorry mei-chan but I need some time alone so we can't train this morning".
"Of course naruto, if you need someone to talk to, you know I'm here for you." Mei said in a sympathetic voice.
"Thanks mei-chan but I really need some time to myself." Naruto said giving her a weak smile.
'Naruto, I hope you will be okay' thought a concerned Mei.
Naruto hopped through the trees and around the village until 4 pm when he decided to go where he used to sulk at, the academy tree swing.
'Those who abandon missions are trash, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash they're the lowest of the low.'
"Congrats Hatake you are the lower than trash" Naruto muttered with a sigh.
"Hey Naruto, didn't expect to see you around here!" Iruka shouted, approaching the tree swing where naruto was sitting at.
"Oh, hey Iruka-sensei, how are you?" Naruto politely asked the first person besides hokage-jiji to not see him as 'the fox-brat'.
"I'm doing well, is something wrong Naruto?" Iruka asked as he knew naruto only came here when he felt lonely.
Naruto told him of what happened with Kakashi.
"Damn naruto im so sorry, I'll tell you what. Meet me at training ground 44 and we will have some Ichiraku's ramen on me. Sound good naruto?" Iruka said kindly.
"Yes ramen!" Naruto yelled before speeding off like his old hyperactive self.
'So, kakashi was going to try to kill you demon. Too bad it will not be necessary you die tonight demon'. Iruka thought with an evil glint in his eye.
Training ground 44 300 yards from the entrance
"So sensei, why did we come inside the training ground again?" Naruto asked as the forest of death is a spot reserved for people at and above the rank of tokubetsu jonin.
"Simple naruto nearby there are three bars and with your history with drunken mobs I figured it would be better to be safe then sorry." Iruka recited, as he planned that lie out.
" But sensei I am not helpless I can protect myself from pesky villagers." Naruto retorted slightly offended that his sensei thought he was that weak.
"Oh I am not worried about them harming you" Iruka said with an evil glint. "I am worried about them DIE DEMON"! Iruka shouted as he stabbed his kunai downward at his neck but naruto was quick he grabbed and broke Iruka's wrist and looked up at iruka with anger in his rippled eyes. Anger in his rinnegan it was unlocked and Naruto was furious. Naruto pulled out his mother's blades and stabbed him in the chest.
"What was I thinking; I should've let Mizuki kill you. The elders told me everything, rot in hell demon scum".
With that, the first person to accept naruto, as a Konoha shinobi passed away.
Namikaze estate, 10 pm
"Naruto where in the shinigami's name were you for 10 HOURS" Mei shouted worried and annoyed beyond belief.
"I-I'll explain" Naruto stammered, "l-lets go inside".
"Naruto where in the 9 hells have you been! Kids these days, back in my day shinobi-".
"Ao shut up or I'll kill you." Mei whispered with a bit of venom. "Anyway Naruto what happened to you?" She asked going back to her concerned voice.
Naruto began telling the events of how he went to his swing, how iruka lured him to the forest of death, his history with iruka, iruka's betrayal and his final words. But he saved the most shocking part for last. Naruto dropped the henge on his eyes and revealed the rinnegan. Ao and Chojuro both fainted due to the fact they weren't privy to that knowledge. But mei just said
"Normally Naruto, some congratulations would be in order, but given the circumstances I think you need some time to yourself. Go to sleep and I will teach you more yoton and futton in the morning."
2 days until the final exam
Naruto has managed to perform both yoton and futton techniques under his fiancé's tutelage. He is working on Hyoton (Ice) techniques from a scroll and has mastered 2 of them, but that's not what the main event in the estate, the real thing is packing the mansion, or more specifically the mansion's contents. Namely all jutsu, furniture, cash, weapons and anything of importance for naruto's new life in kiri. Large quantities of possessions all sealed up into several scrolls sealed up into one very large scroll.
"That's the last of it". Chojuro said with an exhausted sigh, he was the one spending his chakra on it after all. "Anything else I forgot naruto?" Chojuro asked hoping he could be done.
"Nah that's-".
Naruto's response was cut short by the arrival of a masked anbu. "Naruto you and your fiancé are summoned and requested respectively to appear before a session of council". The man drawled before departing.
'What the hell is it this time cant those pigs leave me alone one damn time'. Naruto wondered annoyed at being in a room with a mummy (danzo), old fossils (the advisors), and a howler monkey/banshee bitch (sakura's mom).
"Welcome namikaze-san, mizukage-dono. Do either of you know why you were called here?" Asked danzo in that annoyingly calm voice of his.
"NO and it better be good or I'll use my new bloodline to beat your asses six ways to Sunday" growled naruto because he hated these bastards to the core. 12 years of mistreatment and abuse tends to bring some bad blood to a boil.
"It is about that bloodline actually. While we do not call of your engagement to one Mei Terumi, we call of your bet in regards to you leaving the village. Furthermore, we invoke the clan restoration act compelling you to have 6 wives."
Everyone expected Naruto to react badly but he actually used a calm, casual tone. "Alright, I understand, you gotta do what you gotta do, but so do I. If you do that then I will go to the middle of the village, rip off the seal and before I die I will request that in return for freeing the kyuubi. The kyuubi will level konoha and everyone in it with the exception of ichiraku's, the konoha 12 besides sasuke and sakura, ino-shika-cho trio's clans and the sarutobi clan."
Everyone was shocked.
'Damn that kid has balls larger than fire country' asuma thought.
'He threatens my daughter and uchiha-sama, damn demon' the haruno women's inner haruno yelled.
'Now I really need him in Kiri, our council is getting out of line maybe my fiancé can scare them? My death threats are starting to get old.' Mei thought with a smile imagining her council getting scared shitless.
Those were a couple of the ideas on everyone's mind.
But one councilor decided to say something stupid. "Ha! You can't release the demon from its prison because you are the demon".
"Excuse me but do you remember what I said last time? You know about calling my fiancé a demon. She said in a sweet voice with a smile but there was venom laced under the surface. The man paled and went stiff as a board. "I will take your body language as a yes. Yoton: Lava Bullet!" The poor moron never had a chance.
Homura was outraged that she would dare defend the demon."Look Mizukage-dono I don't know how things work in kiri but here, if we tell the Hokage to jump he asks how high.
"Is that so?" A cold voice asks.
"Yes and-" Homura began until he turned around and saw an angry faced Hokage.
"Hiruzen we didn't mean-"Homura began only to be cut off by a hokage who has beef
"It's Hokage-sama to you and what is the meaning of calling a session without my consent?" Roared a certain very angry, very pissed Hokage.
"I can answer that," Naruto said, "they called me here to call off the bet, forbid me from going to kiri, and also force me into the CRA."
"Oh really is that so" said a very angry professor, who was shaking with rage.
"hokage-sama you must understand it is for the village, the boy, he acquired the rinnegan". Homura pleaded hoping that the aged kage would see reason.
"You have a lot of nerve considering the law is in effect," at that he nodded to naruto who launched an air missile decapitating the councilman. "As for naruto and his bloodline I always knew of that. Oh yeah while I'm at it the bet IS off." Getting smug looks from the council. "He's going to kiri either way." That caused their faces to go from smug to really annoyed. "Before I adjourn this meeting I will say this, I am the hokage, MY word is law and the council is MY bitch. When I tell you assholes to jump, you ask how high. AM I CLEAR! A furious nodding of heads affirmed their understanding.
"Now if you idiots don't mind I have to get back to the paperwork".
"Hey old man I know how to get rid of paperwork". Naruto said causing both kages to jump in anticipation.
"Really! How! How! HOW!" The old hokage said in a childish display that caused the council to sweatdrop.
"I will tell you after the exams old man consider it a going away present." Naruto smirked, watching the old man cry anime tears.
"Why WHY Naruto have mercy on an old man"
"Naruto-Kun can you please tell me your secret" Purred Mei using the greatly feared advanced version of the puppy eyes no jutsu; the chibi head: puppy eyes no jutsu.
Somehow, with great effort, naruto resisted the powerful jutsu. "Sorry mei-chan you will have to wait as well." Mei pouted despite being impressed that he could resist that formidable jutsu.
After giving the council a one fingered salute. Naruto walked out causing both kages to cry anime tears and the whole council to glare daggers.
Final exam day, Konoha arena
"Welcome one and all to the final phase of the Konoha Chuunin exams!" The 3rd hokage boomed and the crowd roared in approval. "These promising young genin have worked hard to get here in hopes of achieving the rank of chuunin. Without further ado let the fights, begin!"
"Match 1 Neji hyuuga of the leaf versus Naruto Namikaze of the mist. Do either of you need to know the rules?" The proctor asked receiving a nod from both opponents.
The odd thing was the leaf villagers heard two words that scared them, namikaze and mist.
"The demon child is the heir of the fourth".
"Why is he going to the mist? Is he betraying konoha?"
"What's with his eyes?"
"New eyes, new name, it doesn't matter. Fate has decreed me the winner so you may as well forfeit, no one defies fate". Neji trumpeted arrogantly.
"Fate this fate that is that really all you hyuugas can talk about? Tell me neji, what's it like groveling towards old farts that have sticks so far up their asses they cannot shit right without assistance". Naruto taunted causing the whole arena to laugh at the Hyuuga clan's expense.
"Hajime!" Genma said before jumping out of the way.
Neji went for a strike to the chest but it was quickly dodged. Naruto flipped backwards and began making hand seals "Yoton: Lava Bullet".
"Kaiten"
"Shinra Tensei"

Flashback end
"The Kaiten so much for the ultimate technique of the hyuuga clan eh neji?" Naruto taunted, insulting neji's clan again.
"Think you're funny dead-last? You're in range of my divination!"
Your ass is mine peasant! "Two Palms"
Sorry but I don't swing that way! "Shinra Tensei!"
Neji flew back into the wall, crashing in a crumpled heap.
"Hmph so much for the almighty hyuuga but I'll give you a conciliation prize Jinchuuriki art: Seal Break. Neji's caged bird seal slowly faded from his head. The elders roared about him interfering with clan affairs but naruto flipped them the bird. "Take your clan matters and shove 'em up your asses you old relics. Frankly I don't give a shit, and fate is an illusion for a clan with an all seeing eye you sure are blind." Naruto finished leaving the Hyuuga main family furious and the arena in awe at naruto's insight.
"Shousa uzu-… Namikaze Naruto".
Everyone was shocked especially the rookie 9 Naruto shunshin'd to the competitor's booth.
"Naruto what the hell-"Shikimaru started only to be cut off.
"We will have a 10 minute wait for uchiha sasuke" the proctor announced earning cheers from konoha and boos from visitors.
"I'll explain, before I was born I was entered into an arranged marriage by my father, the yondiame hokage." That statement earned gasps and holy shits all around. "The woman who I was betrothed to later became the godiame mizukage, and was told that I died in the night of the kyuubi attack. She later came here on the night after prelims; she found me and offered me a position in kiri which I accepted."
"Naruto-baka you no good traitor!" Shouted a certain pink haired banshee who tried to hit him on the head but was parried and had her wrist twisted by Naruto.
"Oh I'm the traitor this is coming from someone whose mother contributed to 42 assassination attempts on my life and the need for 3 surgeries on my ears!" Naruto shouted leaving Sakura outraged and all the others shocked. "I'll tell you what I said to the council. I am going to Kiri and if anyone manages to stop me I will rip this seal off, and ask the fox in return to level konoha and everyone in it." Naruto growled scaring the rookie nine shitless.
"Damn, the dead last was the son of a hokage and the fiancé of a kage. Who would've known. " was all kiba could say.
"Naruto-kun could you come up to the kage's booth with me in need you to talk some sense into hiruzen he wants to give the uchiha more time" Mei said slightly disgusted scaring everyone by her sudden appearance.
"Are you stupid? Sasuke is elite he deserves more time because compared to him naruto-baka will only amount to trash compared to him! Naruto is so dumb his parents threw him into the orphanage and left the village out of shame." Sakura screeched making Ino sigh that her friend could be so dumb.
"What did you say about my fiancé howler monkey?" Mei growled shocking everyone that this beautiful and slender woman was the mizukage and Naruto's fiancé.
"Mei-chan she's not worth it lets go". Naruto pleaded shocking everyone when he effectively calmed down an angry kage.
The 2 shunshined away leaving a very shocked group of genin.
"Damn THAT was impressive the loudmouth that we once knew is long gone." Chouji said
"Troublesome." Muttered a certain Nara.
"Naruto landed THAT damn gotta give him props." Said Kiba still shocked that all kage's aren't old bags and that women can be kages. "I know it's an arranged marriage but she could back out of it. Lucky bastard", unfortunately, that statement earned him a slap from all present kunoichi.
"Old man, how come sasuke gets special privileges?" Naruto demanded shocking all present that he would speak to the hokage in such a manner".
"Now naruto the counc-" Hiruzen began only to have naruto pull out his trump card".
"Withdraw his privilege and I'll give you the secret weakness of paperwork!" Naruto smirked causing both kages to go wide eyed.
"Have mercy Naruto! WHAT IS IT TELL ME!" The kami no shinobi began getting desperate.
"Fine, kage bunshins make 5 and you get it done five times faster and when you dispel you get full knowledge of the work it did." Causing both kage's to look at him in a stupor before mei grabbed him and glomped in her ample cleavage causing naruto to go "Mmph"! While Sarutobi called a chuunin and ordered him to disqualify sasuke from the tournament. Then he began hitting his head on his chair saying "stupid, stupid, STUPID"!
When this happened Orochimaru was seething. Then he signaled his plan into action. He threw a smoke bomb and grabbed the aged sandiame hokage while throwing of his kazekage robes."Hello sarutobi-sensei are you not happy to see your old student?" Orochimaru taunted with a kunai to the aged hokages throat.
"Mizukage-dono please grabs naruto and run this is a personal fight". Sarutobi stated in a firm hokage voice known to naruto when he addressed crowds that embarked on demon hunts.
Mei looked to Orochimaru thinking that he would be to savage for them to get off scott free."I don't mind" Orochimaru shrugged, "He isn't part of my plans so I could care less rather he lives or dies."
"Hell no old man I want to kick this pedo's ass". Naruto said with an angry defiant tone. "I want to pay him back for having a snake swallow me in the forest of death!" Only for him to get silenced by a chop to the back of his neck by Mei. Causing Orochimaru and Sarutobi to sweatdrop
"Sorry Naruto, I've seen you when you're stubborn it's for the best" Mei murmured as she hoisted him on her shoulder and began to leave toward the rendezvous point.
(A/N sorry for those of you who might want to see naruto fight orochimaru but naruto needs to leave this point for a reason in the plot so the battle between hiruzen and orochimaru follows canon)
Outside the Namikaze Estates
Ao, Choujuro, the two gennin teams that were eliminated during round 1, and their jounin senseis were waiting for the mizukage and naruto to arrive while watching the battle between the leaf and oto-suna forces. However the only battle they faced is who gets to hold the popcorn bucket.
"Hey assholes we could sure use a hand over here!" One leaf nin shouted at the Kiri group thinking that they were obligated to help them for some unknown reason. "I don't care about what your old bitch of a mizukage said you cannot just let us die like this"!
"We're under no treaty or obligation to lend aid and furthermore, call her that again and we just might do the opposite of helping you" Ao shouted at the loud mouthed leaf nin.
"So what can you tell us about Naruto-sama" one of the genin asked Ao.
"Where to start, he has had a rough past beaten over 100 times by age 9 and has every organ and bone in his body damaged to an extent at least once. He has well over kage level chakra reserves and is more stubborn than any human I have ever seen. However he was the dead last in the academy. He is also considered the hero of several countries including wave and spring. There are also two things you should never do with him one attempt to coddle him in any way, considering that he can release enough killing intent that can dwarf mei-sama's own. But worse, never EVER offer to treat him to ramen he can eat more ramen than you can get pay from an A-rank mission." Ao concluded getting looks of rage, shock, awe, and…. sweatdrops.
"Still lucky bastard he landed a kage" one of the male genins muttered gaining eyebrow raises from the rest of the group.
"Aw is someone jealous of him?" One of the female genin taunted."Or perhaps you were hoping that for you failure in the exams, the mizukage would discipline you properly."
"Shut up guys they're coming!" One of the jounin said pointing to an auburn haired lady carrying a blonde teen on her back.
"Naruto wake up!" No response whatsoever, "Naruto! Free ramen!" His head bolted up at a speed that would put the yellow flash to shame.
"Hahaha, very funny" Naruto grumbled before getting off of her back
Then the real problem began, both of the kunoichi genin had to refrain from drooling. Let's just say the month without his weakening seals has been kind to him. His face took a more mature, muscular look. His body grew to a husky 5 foot 8 inches (don't know the metric equavilant sorry) along with an 8 pack and toned biceps that complimented his swimmers body in perfect synchronization.
As they exited the compound the leaf nins where furious they would help the demon brat but not them?" Hey! Mist nin! Why will you aid that purple eyed, demonic freak but not us?" The same loudmouth from earlier demanded.
"Excuse me, would you run that by me again? For a second I thought you called my fiancé a demon." Mei said with that sweet tone that made all kiri nins rigid with fear.
Most leaf nins detected the venom lying underneath her kind tone. Not all of them did however. "Damn straight bitch if you help us I'll let you spread your legs for me and I'll take you like a real human would." Poor idiot never had a chance. Mei ran through a series of seals before she stopped abruptly to see Naruto decapitated the man. "The sandiames law is still in effect regardless of my new allegiance." Naruto calmly stated in a cold tone.
"Unless there is something else then let us depart". Naruto said in a casual tone shocking all the genin how he can kill like that and still be relaxed".
Other than the glares from various leaf nin, two shadowy figures were watching the departure of the kiri delegation and their village's new member.
"Target is leaving the clan estate should we ambush," a masked nin asked another.
"Negative danzo-sama wants to eliminate them away from konoha but within fire country borders so we will set up an ambush 25-30 miles outside village walls". Replied the other man in the same monotone as his partner.
