A/N: Right then it seems that the hyena summons won in a land slide. After doing some research I found out that hyenas are regarded as beings of great evil and lust. In fact it is said that witches of African folk lore are said to turn into hyenas or are seen riding hyenas. Which gives me an idea. I may have to change this story into a harem. Anyway onto the test and you guys will get to see some of Naruto's skills. Also I will give Naruto a harem but just of three girls and I've already got them picked out, besides I want to try my hand at it.
Naruto walked into training ground 7 at 8:30 where he wasn't surprised to see that Kakashi had yet to arrive. Instead he saw both Sakura and Sasuke looking quite hungry and tired leaning against one of the three posts wearily. He grinned at this, he was quite happy to see both the Uchiha and his fan-girl looking quite miserable.
"You're late!" Sakura yelled at the grayish-blonde haired boy, though due to her lack of sleep and food she wasn't as loud as usual.
"Am I? Well better late than never, besides I don't see our sensei here so I don't think it really matters," Naruto said in a mocking voice. With that he proceeded to take out a weapon that nobody had seen before.
It was a purple revolver with a black handle that could hold up to six bullets. On the handle you could see the picture of a grinning red fox head with yellow eyes. The gun had been a gift from Kyuubi, or as he liked to call her Vixen-chan. Yes, the great and fearsome Kyuubi no Kitsune, was a female and quite a hot one at that. Naruto remembered the day he had met her.
-Flashback-
Naruto found himself inside of a filthy hallway that was lined with steel doors that had little slides in them that allowed someone to look inside. Each door represented a memory and the condition of the door represented the state of the memory. The entire place had the feel of an asylum to it, which Naruto absolutely loved.
He walked down the hall and stopped before a door that had torn and ragged piece of paper on it with the kanji for seal. The piece of paper seemed to deteriorate more and more every day. When Naruto had asked the Kyuubi had told him that the seal was breaking and half her chakra would be transferred to him when it finally did break. She had told him that nothing would happen to him physically and the only side effect was that she would no longer be in his mind, but she'd literally be bonded to Naruto for life. In every sense of the word Kyuubi was Naruto's mate, which actually made both of them quite happy. What made it even better was the fact that since Naruto would be half demon, he would be able to take on more than one mate, though the blonde said he only wanted three mates at the most.
Opening the door he looked in to find a room completely different from the rest of his mindscape. The room seemed to be made out of a dark mahogany with a red carpet floor. It contained a grand fireplace two recliner chairs and a king sized bed with satin sheets with matching mattress and black pillows. There was a bookshelf and what seemed to be a hanging flat screen T.V hanging over the fireplace. The T.V allowed Kyuubi to see and hear whatever Naruto did.
Sitting in one of the recliners was a woman wearing a black dress and a red sash with a slit going up the left side of the dress where it stopped at her mid thigh. She had slit pupils with red irises and long red hair that flowed to the small of her back. Her dress hugged her figure, showing off her beautiful curves and her double C-cup sized breasts, her nine flowing tails and fox ears only added to her beauty, making her seem like some exotic goddess.
"Hello Vixen-chan, enjoying your cell I hope?" smirked Naruto as he sat in the chair across from her.
She smirked at the boy, "Yes I am, and I have a surprise for you Naru-kun," she purred. She stood up and walked over to a chest at the foot of her bed and pulled out a revolver. She tossed the gun to the goggled boy, who caught it deftly in one hand.
Placing his goggles so they hung loosely around his neck, the Uzumaki proceeded to inspect the weapon closely. He cast an amused smirk at his mate and cocked an eyebrow.
"That, my little odokemono (joker) is a revolver pistol I made specifically for you," she said with a smile. "It works by placing one of these things," she pulled out a bullet, "inside the revolving chamber, adding some chakra and voila! Instant flying death or pain!" she smiled.
"Really?" he asked with an eager smile, the insane glint in his eye sparkling.
She nodded. "This thing can fire up to oh, say, 30 yards easy with just the smallest amount of chakra. Give it more chakra or a good dose of youki if you want to launch it farther," she said.
Naruto was giddy with excitement at his new toy. He couldn't wait to test it on some villagers who got to brave, or drunk. If he couldn't use villagers he'd settle for enemy ninjas.
"That's not the best part though," sang Kyuubi while taking the gun away. She pointed it at him and pulled the trigger. Instead of a bullet flying out of the gun out popped a little banner that said BANG! Naruto laughed insanely at this, he would definitely enjoy that feature. "Wait there's more!" she said. Naruto watched in eager anticipation as she pointed the gun at the wall and pulled the trigger again. The banner launched from the gun at high speeds and embedded itself in the wall with another banner coming out the back that said 'HA! HA! HA!'.
Naruto leaped out of his chair and kissed Kyuubi deeply before resurfacing with a pop. "Vixen-chan this is probably the best gift I've ever gotten from you, well, besides the sex of course," exclaimed the insane young man. Kyuubi had giggled at this. 'Soon Naruto… soon I'll be out of here and then we can really have some fun' thought the Kitsune with a sadistic grin.
-Flashback End-
Naruto laughed at the memory and how he had tested that gun. Some ways a way several men in wheelchairs shivered, the pain from when their kneecaps had been blown off seemed to resurface. Some of those men still couldn't sleep at night without hearing the laughter and the bang of the gun that had crippled them.
"Oi, what the hell are you laughing at creep?" asked Sasuke. Naruto glanced at the avenger and a slowly a vicious smile spread across his face. Threatening to split it in half.
"Oh nothing that concerns you," the blonde said. He was pointing his gun at imaginary targets, showing off the weapon to the Uchiha, wanting him to take the bait.
"What the hell is that weapon?" Sasuke demanded, curious about the strange item in the black clad boy's hands. 'Hook, line and sinker' thought the blonde.
"This? Oh this is just something that if Itachi had he could have eradicated your pathetic clan in half the time it took him," the sadistic boy said offhandedly. "You know in all honesty, I'm he left you alive, he probably wants you to avenge the clan or something like that, a complete and utter waste of time in my book," Naruto added, tapping the barrel against his chin in mock thought.
"Give me that weapon," snarled an enraged Sasuke. He was pissed that him, a lowly commoner and orphan to boot, would dare insult his clan and ambition like that. He wanted to take that weapon and kill both Naruto and Itachi. Something that powerful should belong to him.
"You want this weapon? Fine then but first let me show you how it works," Naruto said with sadistic glee. Quick as a whip Naruto fired off a round with a loud bang at Sasuke's head. The bullet lodged itself in the post behind a shocked and terrified Sasuke. The hole was mere inches from Sasuke's head and was still smoking.
"Now for a close range demonstration," Naruto giggled. Slowly he strode over to where Sasuke was sitting, leaking off killer intent as he went. When he was mere feet from Sasuke he lifted the barrel and pointed it right between the surviving Uchiha's head.
Sasuke wanted to scream, wanted to run, but he couldn't move. He was rooted to the spot in fear. Sakura was in a similar position. They both watched in terror as their teammate approached Sasuke slowly. In slow motion they watched as Naruto pulled the trigger.
Instead of the bang they expected, out popped a little banner with the word BANG! on it. When he saw this Sasuke did the one thing that most people did when they experienced something like this… he pissed himself.
Naruto laughed uproariously at his brooding teammates reaction. In his mind he heard his tenant laughing as well. Its not everyday you get to see one of the high and mighty Uchiha soil himself in fear.
This was the scene that Kakashi appeared on. He saw a terrified Sasuke and Sakura looked about ready to faint. He quickly concluded that Naruto was the cause of it. He sighed, 'If these guys pass then we're REALLY gonna have to work on teamwork' Kakashi thought. "Oi, Naruto stop scaring Sasuke and Sakura so we can start the test," the one eyed jounin said to the blonde.
"Whatever you say, Cyclops-sensei," Naruto said while putting his gun back in his trench coat. Kakashi sweatdropped at this, but shook it off and placed a timer on the middle stump.
"Right, your task is simple, all you have to do to pass is get one of these bells," he said pulling out two silver bells with a jingle. "Whoever doesn't have a bell by the time the buzzer goes off will fail and be sent back to the academy," said the jounin seriously.
Sakura and Sasuke tensed while Naruto smiled his sadistic smile again. Sakura then noticed something.
"But sensei there are only two bells!" she protested.
"Exactly, which means one of you will fail," Kakashi, stated simply. Sakura and Sasuke got determined looks while Naruto's grin grew wider. "Also if you want a bell come at me with the intent to kill," he said seriously "The test begins now." stated Kakashi.
Immediately Sasuke and Sakura vanished in blurs of speed, Naruto on the other hand just stayed where he was.
"Um, Naruto, you do realize the test has started?" asked Kakashi.
"Yup just wanted to gibe your hand a shake before we started in anticipation of a good fight," Naruto stated offering his hand with a giant smile on his face. Confused Kakashi shook the odd child's hand. Immediately lightning race all across Kakashi's body before said masked ninja exploded in a poof of smoke.
"Aw, it was only a clone?" Naruto said with a pout, "Ah well, all I have to do is just find the real one, but where oh where could he be?" Naruto said taking out his revolver. He tapped it against his chin lightly chuckling to himself.
Suddenly he turned around his gun pointed at a tree several yards away, "THERE YOU ARE!" he shouted and fired six youki infused bullets at the tree. He laughed insanely as he watched the tree explode in a fiery explosion. "Who knew Vixen-chan's youki would cause the bullets to explode on impact?" he laughed. He then stared at a very surprised Kakashi who had just appeared in the clearing.
"Ah there you are! And here I was thinking you'd left me all to my lonesome with no one to play with," Naruto said in a mock hurt voice. He laughed and attacked his sensei, covering the distance in the blink of an eye. "Now let the fun begin!" he shouted his fist aimed at Kakashi's head.
Quickly the silver haired man twisted his head to avoid the strike. 'Damn this kid is almost as fast as a low jounin! How the hell can he move so fast?' then he remembered his student saying something about Vixen-chan's youki. His eyes widened slightly 'Is this kid using the fox's chakra?' he thought panicked.
Naruto swept his leg at Kakashi aiming for his ribs but the jounin grabbed the boy's leg and threw him away. Naruto landed easily on his feet and laughed. "I must say Kakashi, you make quite a big bang," the blonde laughed. Before Kakashi could wonder what he was talking about several small balls leapt into the air. Each one had a smile on its face and the kanji for goodbye written in green on them. Without warning the bombs exploded, surrounding Kakashi in a fiery explosion and smoke.
"Hm, perhaps I went a little too far," Naruto giggled darkly. "Oh, well as long as one of the bells is intact I pass," he said with a laugh as he walked over to the explosion site.
Walking over he noticed that all that was there were the remains of a log and something that made Naruto grin. Stooping down he picked up his find and slipped them into one of his many hidden trench coat pockets. "Well, time to have some more fun," Naruto said cheerily.
Sakura had been watching the entire thing in fear. She had watched as Naruto destroyed the tree with that weapon. She saw how the goggled boy had attacked her sensei with a bloodthirsty grin. She saw Naruto's bombs go off and heard what he had said. She thought for sure her sensei was nothing more than a charred corpse. In all her life she could honestly say she had ever met someone as terrifying as Naruto Uzumaki, and she shuddered to think of meeting someone even scarier than her teammate.
Meanwhile, Sasuke had watched the entire fight in anger. He couldn't believe someone had that much power. He trained every single day to get stronger and yet here is some no clan freak that is stronger than him. He clenched his fists in frustration; he wanted that power, NEEDED, that power to beat Itachi. Sasuke Uchiha made a vow that he would figure out how Naruto got so strong and he would learn every one of the freak's techniques.
'So Vixen-chan? Should we end this test already?' Naruto mentally asked his tenant
"Yeah you probably should otherwise your sensei," she spat the out the word sensei with contempt "will just humiliate them and the buzzer will go off" said the demon.
Naruto nodded and shouted for his hidden teammates. "Hey Pinky and Broody! Get out here!" he hollered with a smile. There was silence.
Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi were all thinking the same thing. 'What the hell is he doing?'
Naruto sighed, he had tried to make them come out by asking nicely, but it seemed he'd have to do it the 'fun' way. Putting on his patented manic smile the blonde raised his gun and pointed at the forest where his teammates were hiding. "I'll count to three, and if you aren't out here before I finish counting, I'm going to splatter your insides all over the forest like confetti!" he cackled madly.
The reaction was instant, immediately both Sakura and Sasuke were standing in front of him. Sasuke looked angry but also afraid, he did not want this psycho shooting at him again. Sakura just decided to come out so Naruto didn't kill anyone.
"What do you want freak?" Sasuke demanded.
"Just wanted to give you guys a gift," the goggled boy said happily. With that he reached inside his trench coat and took out two silver bells with a flourish. Needles to say his teammates were stunned.
"How?" asked an amazed Sakura.
"The one eyed wonder probably dropped them when he switched himself with the log to escape my happy bombs," Naruto said with a grin. "The lazy fool probably didn't even notice he dropped them," the blonde giggled.
From his hiding place Kakashi could only sweatdrop at his student's words. 'Can you blame me? I know I said come at me with the intent to kill but I didn't actually think you'd nearly kill me!' thought the jounin. He sighed and jumped to where his students were.
"So it seems you have both bells Naruto, what now?" asked Kakashi.
The boy smirked at his sensei. With a flick of his wrist he tossed the bells to his teammates and took up a battle stance.
"Those two can take the bells, I want to fight my way onto your team, after all I do owe you Inu-san" Naruto said mockingly. If someone could have seen the Uzumaki's eyes, they would have seen utter loathing mixed in with the other emotions of his dead blue eyes.
Surprised Kakashi decided to just pass the kids and ask his student how he knew his ANBU name. "Well, then I guess you… pass," the jounin said with an eye smile. Sasuke and Sakura were confused to say the least but Naruto wasn't. "You see this test was designed so that you would you would fight against each other when you need to work together to get a bell," explained the masked man in a hurry. He wanted to get rid of Sasuke and Sakura so he could question the blonde. "Naruto here showed excellent teamwork so because of him you all pass" Kakashi told them. "Now you are all dismissed meet here at 9 for missions, training and so on everyday from here on out," Kakashi informed them. "Now you are all dismissed except for you Naruto, I want to talk to you about something," stated Kakashi. Naruto grinned while his teammates left with very confused expressions.
Kakashi turned to the boy with a curious expression as he was about to speak he was interrupted by Naruto's laughter. "Let me guess you want to know how I know your ANBU name?" he asked. Kakashi nodded. "Trust me when I say it wasn't easy but I wanted to find the man who helped turn me into what I am today!" the blonde crowed.
Kakashi's eyes widened in surprise. "What does he mean? I've never laid a finger on him!' he thought.
"Oh, don't worry I know full well you never harmed but I do know that you were supposed to be one of my bodyguards, funny how you never seemed able to stop the mobs," the blonde giggled. "Yet it's also amazing how I always saw you just sitting there watching the mobs nearly kill me," here the blonde grinned wolfishly.
Kakashi's eye widened and he mentally started to panic. It was true he had been sent to guard Naruto but the lazy nin had never felt compelled to help the boy, in fact until he saw that night eight years ago, he had resented the boy for having a part in taking his sensei's life. Of course he would never attack the boy but he wouldn't help either.
"You do realize if I were to tell the hokage about this you'd probably have your shinobi license revoked or perhaps you'd be forced to take on suicide missions for the rest of your life alone," taunted the boy. He was relishing in his sensei's obvious panic and could actually feel the small waves of fear coming off of him.
"Naruto, I want to apologize for what I did I didn't know-" Kakashi tried to apologize but was stopped by Naruto's howling laughter.
"Didn't know? DIDN"T KNOW! Oh that's rich! Fucking rich!" the blonde laughed. He tore off his goggles so Kakashi could see his eyes, "You saw how I was treated! You knew how much people hated me and you know full well the hell I went through!" he screamed at the silver haired man.
Kakashi stared in horror at the boy in front of him. Many say that the eyes are the windows to the soul and Kakashi could see that his soul was filled with pain and anguish. He also saw the utter contempt and insane gleam I those dead blue eyes. Those eyes coupled with that grin of utter insanity terrified him beyond anything he had ever seen, not even the stories of Orochimaru's experiments scared him this much.
"If you had done your god damned job I wouldn't be like this and you know it!" the blonde accused. "Though if not for your inactions I probably would have been trying to mask my pain by acting like a buffoon and I would be utterly oblivious to what I really am and a total weakling," the blonde told the man. "So Kakashi know this, I thank you for what you have done for me and hope the knowledge that you turned your sensei's son into the one thing he never wanted; a complete and total monster!" With that Naruto gave a shocked Kakashi a mcking bow and disappeared in a puff of purple smoke, the sound of his broken laughter echoing throughout the clearing and Kakashi's horrified mind.
Kakashi slumped to his knees and just stared off into the distance. He knew every word that Naruto had said was true. 'Sensei, Obito, Rin… I'm sorry' Kakashi thought with shame, slowly Kakashi left the clearing and vowed he would try to make amends with Naruto, to try and make up for his creation of the thing known as Naruto Uzumaki. He shivered as that dead laughter still rang in his ears, chilling him to the soul.
