"That will be thirty thousand ryo, please." the innkeeper said with a sweet smile. Atsui's jaw dropped. "WHAAT?! THIRTY THOUSAND?!" he screamed. "Relax, Atsui-sensei, I've got it." Naruto said, walking up to the desk. "Naruto, don't do anything… huh?" Karui said as Naruto pulled some money out of his pocket. "Here you go. Keep the change." he said with a generous smile. The innkeeper was floored. How did a thirteen-year-old have this kind of money? Naruto turned back to his teammates.
They couldn't even squeak. "What?" Naruto asked. Karui rushed him and picked him up by the front of his shirt. "YOU HAD THAT MUCH MONEY ALL THIS TIME AND NEVER ONCE SAW FIT TO TELL US!? WHERE DID ALL THAT MONEY COME FROM?!" she yelled at him.
Naruto held up his hands in the universal "easy there" signal. "The money came from three places. First, I've been helping out the old blacksmith in his shop. Second, old man Raikage decided to make me his ward, so I get an allowance from him, and third, we all got paid for the S-rank mission against Tsubasa. Don't tell me you guys spent all yours already." he said with a smirk. The three sweat dropped. Yugito shuffled her feet.
"Jeez guys. Seriously? One million ryo and you spend it all?" Naruto asked with mocked disdain. "For a bunch of shinobi, you guys are really dumb." he said. Karui reached for her sword. Before she could finish drawing it, Naruto was there, holding her hand down against the guard. "Honestly Karui, is that necessary?" he asked softly. "Huh, stupid baka…" Karui mumbled. "What was that?" Naruto asked. Karui sweat dropped again. "Oh, nothing." Karui said, scared. Kurama chuckled.
"Alright hotheads, let's go to sleep. We still have some travel left to do tomorrow." Atsui declared. "Hai, Atsui-sensei." the three genin answered with a yawn. That night, Atsui and Naruto shared one room, and the girls shared the other.
The next morning, the four Kumo ninja set out for the final leg of their journey. About forty-five minutes later, Naruto froze. "DODGE!" he yelled to his team. They all knew that if Naruto said dodge, you better dodge, and fast. Three kunai whizzed over Atsui, Karui, and Yugito's heads. A single Anbu with a wolf mask landed in front of them.
"Naruto Uzumaki, as a citizen of Konoha, you are ordered by the Sandaime Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi to return to your rightful home in Konoha immediately." the Anbu said in a monotone. "No." Naruto snickered. The Anbu twitched. "Listen here you little demo-" the Anbu was cut off by a massive amount of killer intent. Everyone looked at Naruto, whose face said "Don't look at me" he pointed to his right. Standing there, demon cloak forming, one eye green and the other yellow, was none other than Yugito. The Anbu sneered. "So you're a demon brat too, huh? Whatever, I'll just kill you and your friends, drag Naruto back kicking and screaming, and place a loyalty seal on the ungrateful little wretch." he said. Something inside Naruto clicked. "That voice…" he thought. "I remember... that voice, those words, YOU!" he shouted, adding a demonic edge to his voice.
"YOU ALMOST KILLED ME WHEN I WAS THREE YEARS OLD!" he screamed, getting angrier by the second. "THE ONLY REASON YOU DIDN'T KILL ME WAS SO YOU COULD HUNT ME DOWN AND DO IT AGAIN THE NEXT YEAR!" he exploded. "IT'S IRONIC ISN'T IT? ONE OF THE REASONS I LEFT IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND YOU TELL ME THAT KONOHA IS MY RIGHTFUL HOME!" the Anbu shrugged.
"Beating you was the right thing to do, you demon. You killed the Yondaime." the Anbu said indifferently. "OH, YOU MEAN MY FATHER?!" Naruto shouted. "That's it. Kurama, give me all I can handle. I'm taking this guy down!" "You got it kit." the fox said as he slowly poured demonic chakra into Naruto, while Matatabi was doing the same for Yugito.
Together, the two jinchuriki rushed forward in a flash of red and blue. The Anbu barely had time to blink. Suddenly, the masked man was assaulted by the pair of Kumo ninja cloaked in their tenant's chakra. Dashing forward at blinding speeds, Naruto and Yugito began scratching, burning, and kicking the masked Konoha shinobi. The Anbu fell, and began screaming. Karui and Atsui could only watch.
When the jinchuriki jumped away, there was nothing left of the masked shinobi but a pile of armor, a mask, and a light dusting of ash. Karui almost threw up. She had seen shinobi killed before, but never so… violently. As Naruto and Yugito jumped back and their cloaks receded, Karui stared at Yugito. "I understand what made Naruto so angry, but what set you off?" she asked. "Nobody talks to Naruto-kun like that." she growled. Karui smirked.
At the village gate, they were greeted by a pair of chuunin. Naruto hid his face under the hood of his travel cloak so no one recognized him. Arriving at the exam building, they were almost fooled by a genjutsu until Karui sensed and dispersed it. Walking into the room, they walked in on twelve Konoha genin, who just looked at them, and then turned away like they were insignificant.
As everyone was getting settled for the first exam, a boy with a collared blue shirt and dark hair that looked like a duck's butt approached Naruto and smirked. "I understand you're strong. I demand, as an Uchiha elite, that you train me in all your secret techniques." he said. Naruto stared at him. Was this guy serious? "No." the blonde said simply. The dark-haired boy was stunned. "What do you mean, NO?!" he yelled, attempting to throw a punch. Naruto merely caught the fist and threw the boy backwards over his shoulder, only to be stormed by his two fangirl teammates.
"HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO SASUKE-KUN!" the pink-haired one yelled "I'LL KILL YOU!" the blonde one screamed. They both attempted to kick Naruto, but Yugito and Karui were there to deflect the kicks. Just then, a tall figure entered the doorway.
Sorry for the late update, I just needed a little break. Also, I'm going to be writing an OC fic about a member of the Kaguya, so I will be alternating updates.
