I'm going to update Mokuton Heir in the next couple days or so, but I wanted to make up for lost time on this, my main story.
"Well, you guys seem pretty strong. Troublesome." a voice said from behind Naruto who had just landed behind Naruto. A boy with black hair done up in a pineapple style and a bored look on his face appeared with a pudgy boy with red swirls on his cheeks and the blonde fangirl he saw with the Uchiha.
Naruto scowled. He wanted to tell this boy that he didn't know the half of it, but he didn't want to reveal any hint of his full power to this Konoha shinobi. He changed his scowl to a grin, and he nodded. "I guess. Really though, we're just average in Kumo. Maybe Konoha's standards are falling." he said with a smirk. The blonde fangirl stepped out in front of him. "I'll have you know I was the best kunoichi in the class." she said with a smirk of her own. Yugito and Karui were merely watching, hoping Naruto didn't incinerate the fangirl. "Exactly my point." the spiky-haired blonde said, and the girl's teammates stifled a laugh.
The board flashed again, and the next two names appeared. "Will Sasuke Uchiha and Kankuro of the Desert please come down?" Hayate said. "Sasuke's not here!" the pineapple-haired boy yelled down to the proctor. "Where is he?" Hayate yelled back. Naruto leaned over the rail. "I broke his nose. He's in the infirmary." he yelled. Unfortunately, a single member of the civilian council was in attendance. "How dare you injure Uchiha-sama!" Mebuki Haruno, Pink Banshee Senior screamed from her place by the Hokage. As head of the civilian council, she had a reserved seat at all the official village affairs.
Naruto fire shunshin'd down in front of her. "He insulted my parents, and my family. He's an arrogant idiot who thinks who gave birth to him makes him better than everyone else. I have a feeling that you civilians coddle him, give him everything he wants. He deserves to get his nose broken. And if it doesn't heal right and he loses all his fangirls, I'm just going to laugh." he said, getting angrier and angrier as he spoke, adding a little demon chakra at the end to emphasize his point.
In response, the woman spat at him. Before she could react, his wild instincts kicked in and suddenly he was behind her. "I really don't think you want to provoke a war with Kumo. My use of the Lightning Style Armor means I've been personally trained by the Raikage, and, you may not know this, but I'm actually from your village originally. Think about it." he said before jumping back. She thought for a moment, and her eyes widened.
"You're… the demon…" she said incredulously. Naruto nodded slowly, with heavy sarcasm. Sarutobi glared at her, but realized he had lifted the law on not mentioning the Kyuubi, so it was also logical that the entire younger generation knew as well. "Stupid banshee" he thought "Now he'll never rejoin the village."
"I guess that mob I hired eight years ago failed then." Mebuki said nonchalantly. Suddenly, she felt two cold pressures against her neck. Opening her eyes, she saw Karui and Yugito, weapons drawn, prepared to kill her. "What did you just say?" Naruto said in the background. Suddenly, Atsui appeared. "You three stop right now or we're going home!"" he yelled. Yugito and Karui backed off, and Mebuki smirked. Seeing this, Naruto began to activate his kinjutsu, but Atsui stopped him. "She's not worth it." he whispered. The Kumo team jumped back onto the deck and Mebuki, once she was sure that Naruto was secure, she laughed. "Uchiha-sama is better than you, DEMON! Guess what? For assaulting Uchiha-sama and threatening the head of the civilian council, I have the right to throw all three of you in jail! And by the way, Uchiha-sama automatically passes." she shrieked at them.
Now, Naruto was tied down, but Yugito wasn't. She pulled out a kunai and charged it with her technique, and prepared to throw it. She was calmed by Atsui, who stepped out into the light. "I apologize for my team's behavior." he said. Suddenly, Naruto jumped onto the railing. "HEY BANSHEE!" he yelled down. "GUESS WHO MY PARENTS ARE!" she turned, looked at him, and gasped. "No… you're a monster… you couldn't be…" she trailed off.
"THAT'S RIGHT! SOMEONE TELL THE WOMAN WHAT SHE WON!" he yelled again, dripping with sarcasm. Getting confused looks from the rest of the villagers, he began to explain. "I'm originally from this village, I have blonde hair and blue eyes, and my last name is Uzumaki. Put it together, and leave it on my desk when you finish." he said, even more sarcastic. One by one all the villagers began to realize it. Seeing this, Naruto inhaled deeply.
"THAT'S RIGHT MAGGOTS! MY FATHER WAS YOUR PRECIOUS YONDAIME, AND MY MOTHER WAS KUSHINA UZUMAKI!" then, turning to Mebuki he yelled; "TRY DEFENDING THE UCHIHA NOW, FOOL!" with that, he stepped back, waiting for the next match. "Will Yugito Nii and Rock Lee come down here?" Hayate called. Sighing, Yugito turned, and in an extremely bold move, kissed Naruto on the cheek. Not giving him a chance to react, Yugito flipped expertly over the rail, and down to the floor.
Across from Yugito stood a boy with a shiny bowl cut and massive eyebrows, who was dressed in green spandex. His red Konoha headband was tied around his waist, similar to Naruto's.
"HAJIME!" Hayate called, and the two rushed at each other. The boy spun and swung his leg out with a cry of "Leaf Hurricane!" however, due to her immense flexibility, was able to bend over backwards, allowing for the kick to pass harmlessly over her, and she swung her legs back over, kicking the boy in the back in the process, knocking him to the ground. He soon got up, and gave intensely corny thumbs up and grinned. "YOU ARE A TRULY YOUTHFUL OPPONENT! IT IS AN HONOR TO FACE YOU!" he shouted.
Yugito sweat dropped. She decided to just shut up and fight. They then clashed in a furious taijutsu brawl, and Yugito broke it by aiming a kick at Lee's head, and he caught her foot and threw her towards the wall.
Up in the balcony, Naruto was approached by Pink Banshee Junior, who had woken up in time to see the blonde's rant at her mother. "HOW DARE YOU LAY A HAND ON SASUKE-KUN AND THREATEN MY MOTHER!" she screeched, and she threw a sloppy punch at the blonde, who totally ignored her, and the girl's fist connected with the side of his face. A loud crunching sound was heard, and Sakura began to cradle her hand. "HE BROKE MY HAND MOM! ARREST HIM!" she shrieked. Mebuki stood up, but Sarutobi pushed her back into her seat. "I saw what happened. Your daughter punched the boy, but she is too weak to hurt him." he said. Mebuki shot up. "LIES! DEMON LOVER! HE IS A MONSTER HE MUST HAVE ATTACKED HER!" she yelled.
Naruto couldn't think straight. "Why? I like Yugito-chan, but I didn't know that she liked me. I mean, I assume she does, after that, but, I don't know what I should do." he thought.
Down on the floor, Yugito was still engaging Lee in taijutsu. Realizing what needed to be done; Yugito jumped back and wove hand signs. "Fire Style: Giant Blaze Jutsu!" The boy was engulfed by the flames, and he tried to block; only to faint, and Yugito quickly extinguished the flames.
Afterwards, Lee's teammates fought, starting with a Hyuga boy named Neji, who faced an Oto genin who shot air waves from his palms, which Neji defeated by shutting his tenketsus.
Then, a girl named Tenten, who was a weapon summoner, faced another Oto genin and pierced her leg, forcing her to forfeit.
All the remaining genin fought eventually, and, had Naruto not been so caught up in his own thoughts, he would have noticed the red-haired Suna genin who brutally crushed his opponent with sand.
"Now that everyone has fought, we will take a one-month hiatus and hold the finals at the main arena." Hayate said. As the teams exited the tower, Yugito walked up to Naruto. "Listen Naruto-kun, about before, I…" Yugito couldn't finish as Naruto hugged her tightly. "Listen Yugito-chan, how about during this break, I take you to dinner?" he whispered. Karui just stared. "About damn time" she thought.
One Month Later
As everyone gathered in the arena, the representatives from Kumo appeared. Karui was carrying a new sword, forged from chakra metal; Yugito had begun to wear a sleeveless shirt to allow more flexibility. And last but not least, and maybe the most drastic change, was Naruto. The blonde had taken to wearing red in the past month, commissioning a shirt from Kumo that was identical to the old one, only with red and yellow wings on the back, and he did the same thing with his pants. He also took to wearing the medical tape, replacing the orange with red as well. In addition, after a conversation with Kurama, Naruto learned that Kurama could alter his physical appearance, and he asked the fox to change his hair color. The fox obliged, and Naruto's hair gained a tinge of red, making it appear a strawberry-blonde color.
As the three Kumo genin entered the arena, they were greeted with cheers from the crowd.
I know this isn't the most accomplished story on this site, but I feel like I need to thank everyone who has read this for putting up with my short chapters and not a lot of physical description, and I'm just happy that there are people out there who like my work.
