The referee had decided that Gaara had lost so he announced, "Gaara can no longer battle. In this case, Uchiha Sasuke would win, but since Uzumaki Naruto interfered, Uchiha Sasuke is disqualified." But Naruto wasn't listening. He looked up at the Kage box and yelled, "It looks like your plan failed. I have all your subordinates here." Naruto summoned 5 portal seals and 5 bodies flew out. There was Tayuya, Jirobo, Kidoumaru, Sakon/Ukon and Kabuto.
"You can have them back, Kazekage-sama. Or should I call you by your actual name, OROCHIMARU?"
4 hours earlier…
The forest of Konoha was silent. Not a thing made a sound, which created the problem. Konoha was the Hidden Village of the Leaf, emphasis on leaf. There was supposed to be wildlife around doing their own business. But all the animals were afraid. They didn't want to meet the newcomers that had intruded into their forest.
The Sound ninja army was crouching mutely. They were waiting for the signal, which was the genjutsu, to invade the village. They watched with determination. This was the day that their Otokage would lead their village to victory.
The still air broke with a yell, "Invaders!" Every ninja stood up and took out a kunai. They had the ninja in the back turn around to do a 360 search. But, there were no sign of any attack. The ninja exhaled a tense breath. They could not be found out. The leader of the army looked toward the source of the yell and shouted, "Who was it that alerted everyone? Bring him here, immediately!"
Two sound ninjas dragged another by his arms. They threw him in front of the leader. The leader commanded the two to execute him. "We cannot have any failures if we are to help Orochimaru-sama. Kill him quietly." The poor man started to blubber trying to make a defense for himself. "But… I saw… there was this one… a light… My team has all been killed! How could we ignore that fact?"
"Enough!", the leader shouted. "We will not have any more of your nonsense. Kill him no- What? What is this?" The entire floor that the army stood upon glowed white. One of the ninjas reached out to touch it. "It feels tingly. What could this be?"
C-Cra-Crack! The point where the sound ninja touched the white glow a crack appeared. This crack spread throughout the entire white glow and shattered it, revealing a blue tunnel made of an unknown substance. The entire army fell through, people and trees and all.
The leader, Fujit Iteki, landed hard on his feet. He looked back to his army and saw that everyone was unharmed and okay. Well, except the guy that yelled Intruder. He was shaking and pointing at something. Fujit looked around and saw a cave of metal with different metal contraptions hanging down from the ceiling. "Where am I?"
"You're in my base. I'd welcome you as a guest, but it seems you have malicious intents." The guy who was trembling and pointing started to scream. Fujit followed the finger and saw what made this guy afraid. He saw three dead bodies, crushed, scorched, and/or twisted beyond cruelty. He looked up and saw a man with red/gold armor standing above them with his arms crossed. Next to him, an old man in odd clothes stood bored.
"What- What did you do to my men? I'm going to kill you!" Fujit jumped up and raised his kunai. The man in the armor laughed. "You kill me?" He lifted up his hand at the leader and said,
"Don't get so cocky."
2 hours earlier…
"Shut up, you fat bastard.", the red headed kunoichi whispered to the large ninja. Jirobo's eye twitched. He was always the target of Tayuya's foul mouth.
"Tayuya, enough.", said Sakon. "We can't let anyone discover us until Orochimaru-sama has initiated the battle with the Hokage." The Sound 4 were hidden in a building next to the stadium. The top floor window had a perfect ant's eye view of the Kage box. They watched anxiously, knowing that they could not fail Orochimaru. They had to perform the Shishi Enjin to make sure no one interfered.
"Man, why do we need to be stuck with these kinds of jobs? Why don't some genin do this?", said the 6 armed man.
"Kidomaru, you know exactly why. We are the only ones capable of protecting Orochimaru-sama.", said Sakon.
Kidomaru, annoyed, spit at the ground. "I know that. But I'm itching for a fight."
"Then why don't you fight me?", said a new voice. The Sound 4 whipped around and got into their battle stances. "Who are you?", asked Sakon.
"The Dark Annihilator."
Tayuya ridiculed, "Trying to be cool? You ain't even worthy of wiping my ass, you piece of shit."
The stranger shook his head. "What a foul mouth you have. Are you sure you're a girl?"
Tayuya snapped at the question. "Sakon, this bastard is mine."
The man nodded. "Fine, but don't get too arrogant. We have no idea what he's capable of."
Tayuya smirked as she looked back at Sakon. "We are the strongest ninjas in Orochimaru's service. Do you really think he could defeat us? Ack!…" The stranger picked up Tayuya by her throat. He spoke, "Allow me to answer that for you." His palm ,that was against her neck, glowed.
"Yes."
30 minutes earlier…
"Sasuke is still impressing me.", said the disguised Kabuto, the right hand man of Orochimaru. "But is seems that I will have to start the invasion soon." But then, "Argh, wh-what?" He was stabbed through the shoulder by a sharp blade. He looked behind him and saw a red-black circle shining in the shadows. Kabuto felt fear grip him as he saw the dark eyes barely illuminating itself in the dark. "Dark Annihilator: FATALITY." Kabuto felt himself be pulled in to the darkness. The last thing he felt before he breathed his last was the pain of his tongue and arms being cut off and the slow insertion of the blade into his heart.
0 minutes earlier…
The "Kazekage" yelled at the bodies that flew out of the portals. "What are you doing? Attack him, NOW!" He was furious. How could one person knock out five of his best people? But if they were just unconscious, they could… Orochimaru's hopes were dashed as only one body moved, Tayuya's.
"Don't bother. The four of them are dead. But it seems that I can't be completely heartless. Otherwise, she would have shared their fate." He kicked the body of the survivor and sent her flying a few meters. "But, don't fret. You'll be joining your precious subordinates soon."
Orochimaru laughed. "Even without my forces, I am not weak. You, defeat me? HAHAHA!" The Kage box exploded with smoke and there was a crash. Orochimaru ditched his outfit and grabbed the Hokage. He then jumped through the ceiling of the box and stepped onto the roof, releasing Sarutobi.
Naruto gathered an enormous amount of chakra in his human left leg. He leaned on it and jumped up to the roof, creating a crater. He landed on both feet and pointed his right human arm toward Orochimaru who laughed again at the genin. "Do you really think you can defeat me all by yourself?"
Naruto shook his head. "A little too confident, are we?"
Orochimaru's eyes squinched. "What?"
"Let me tell you a story. Kabuto died without his tongue or arms. I killed him personally, but that was 30 minutes before I helped Sasuke. So what do you think I did?"
"You killed Kabuto? What a ridiculous story. How could a genin like you kill him? But, I'll humor you. What did you do?"
"I strategized."
"Wha-" There was no time for the snake to finish his question. 4 ANBU's came down and stuck their swords into each of Orochimaru's limbs, pinning him to the roof.
"I used that time to talk with some ANBU and made a plan. See, I know that you truly resemble a snake. You are crafty and sly. So I decided that the best way to defeat you is to kill you with one shot."
Orochimaru's eyes widened as Naruto began to build power. 'Wha- What is this energy? This is not chakra, and why is it being concentrated at his chest?
"Arc Reactor Blast, charging. Using 90% of total energy in attack."
"Thanks CECI. How much energy do I need to move this suit?"
"…At least 5%"
"Good." Naruto felt the power rising in his chest. As the energy rose in his power core, he slowly brought his arms to his shoulders so his elbows would cross.
"50%"
"42%"
Orochimaru felt the amount of power rising and began to panic. 'I can't let a shot like that hit me! "Get off. RELEASE ME!" Orochimaru opened his mouth and Kusanagi flew out of his mouth. Naruto was about to yell to CECI to stop charging when a wall of sand appeared in front of him. He looked at his right and saw Gaara, floating on sand. "Thanks, but there was no need. I heal fast."
"But, I want to protect my friends. I don't want them harmed." This brought a small smile to Naruto's face though no one could see it.
Orochimaru started to yell again. "STOP IT! I CAN'T DIE YET! THERE ARE TOO MANY JUTSU'S UNMASTERED, UNEXPERIMENTED ON!
"29%"
"Well, that's life, you snake bastard. Tell that to the ninjas you killed in the afterlife!"
"10%, firing!" Naruto flung his hands to his side and the energy was released. The white energy hit the visor and turned into a red-black color. The charge left the suit and hurtled toward Orochimaru. The ANBU left their swords and shushined away.
BOOOM!
There was a great explosion as smoke and debris flew everywhere. Everyone shielded his/her eyes. You know, except for Naruto.
The smoke eventually cleared and revealed Orochimaru. Sasuke had jumped onto the roof at the moment the explosion stopped and looked at the result of the blast. Sasuke gagged and threw up at the sight of Orochimaru.
Orochimaru's legs were completely blown off. His intestines were strewn across the roof like confetti. The blood slowly oozed out of the torso, coloring the roof a dark red. Naruto looked at this with no feelings of disgust or remorse. "It seems he's tougher than we thought." He walked over to Orochimaru's head who's mouth was gaping open due to the shock of the pain.
"But I should have foreseen this coming. There is truly only one way to kill a snake. CECI, gather 5% of the remaining energy to my left arm and add any chakra I release to it."
Orochimaru's eyes filled with terror as he saw the arm of the suit glow blue. 'No. No! NO! I can't die yet. I have to regenerate fast. But- why won't my body respond? Move, damn it, MOVE! He still couldn't say anything as just watched.
"To kill a snake, you crush his head." Naruto brought his enhanced fist down onto the forehead of Orochimaru.
Boom
A smaller explosion occurred on impact. The smoke covered Naruto's hand and Orochimaru's head. Sasuke had steadied himself from the last gory scene and went back to puking when the smoke went away.
The head was completely crushed. The jaw had flown off and was resting near the feet of the ANBU that had helped Naruto. They stumbled for a moment before regaining the composure the ANBU was famous for. The Hokage stood still the entire time, not showing any emotions. But, he would be lying if he said he wasn't disgusted and surprised at Naruto's actions toward his former student. He turned a little green when an eyeball with a snake like pupil rolled past his feet.
"Dark Annihilator: FATALITY.", said Naruto.
The Hokage watched the people of the council. Naruto stood behind him, waiting with his arms crossed and leaning against the wall.
The members of the council were staring at the Dark Annihilation suit Naruto still had on. They had seen power that never has been recorded in shinobi's history. Finally, Hiashi asked, "So was this the reason you were late to the match against my nephew?"
Naruto shook his head. "No. As I told Orochimaru, I was taking measures against the planned invasion." Hiashi nodded as this was an acceptable answer. "Then let me ask the question that we are all thinking. The question that compelled us to come to this meeting anxiously. What happened to you?"
Naruto looked up at the ceiling for a moment. He sighed. Then he looked back at the Hyuga head. "I grew up."
Hiashi furrowed his eyebrows. "Elaborate."
"I saw the world in a different light. I changed from the over-enthusiastic, goofy kid to the serious man I am now."
"Yes, but what caused that change is what I'm asking."
Rather than answering Hiashi, he said, "CECI, unequip Dark Annihilation." A white glow illuminated Naruto's power core. It then started to spread out to his arms and legs. When the light reached them, it pulled back quickly into the power core and revealed the human inside. Naruto still had the long trenchcoat on and removed that as well.
Multiple gasps were heard from some of the members of the council as they saw all of Naruto, power core and all.
Naruto started, "When I was training with Ero-sennin, he pushed me off a cliff to make me learn how to use the Kyuubi's chakra." Some of the councilmembers nodded. They had a feeling on who this Ero-sennin could be and knew that he was capable. "As I fell, I hit multiple rocks with my arm and leg, shredding it to something I couldn't recognize. I hit the ground with terminal velocity. I should have died that day. However, I was found by my friend, healer, and teacher, Tony Stark. He comes from a place where technology had advanced far beyond our imaginations. He had some problems and had invented this." Naruto tapped his power core. "His and mine are needed to keep us alive. It's a reactor, something that can produce energy." He waited for the information to sink in before continuing. "Tony had also replaced my useless arm and leg with these metal substitutes. They are powered by the reactor as well. It also powers the machine in my head that fixed the brain trauma I experienced.", Naruto said while pointing at the gear sticking out of his head.
Hiashi nodded, "And I would have guessed correctly if I said that your reactor powers your suit too."
"Bingo."
One of the members on the civilian council asked, "How could something like that produce that much energy? That's completely preposterous."
Naruto looked at speaker. "Naïve people should be on the council."
The civilian councilmember stood up enraged. "What did you say to me?"
The Hokage held up one hand. "Please sit down, Surei-san. Let Naruto talk." Surei hesitated before sitting down and giving a glare at Naruto.
Naruto continued, "The device this reactor is based off of could produce enough energy to power all of Konoha." Many gasps were heard as well as snorts of unbelief.
Another councilman shouted, "Then give that power to the Uchiha! He should wield that sort of power and not some de- poor genin." The Hokage had placed his hand on a kunai. That guy was lucky he caught himself before saying the d-word.
Naruto looked again at the speaker. "Stupid people shouldn't be on the council as well."
"What did you- Disrespectful! Ninjas should listen to the council and show them proper respect."
"Correction. Ninjas should show the ninja council and the Hokage respect. Civilians cannot interfere in the military operations."
"You little-"
"ENOUGH!", the Hokage shouted. "Naruto is right, though you could be less blunt about it." Naruto shrugged and went back to crossing his arms and leaning against the wall. Sarutobi said, "There will be no more talk about taking Naruto's power. It seems that it is keeping him alive and if anyone here should take it, they will be sentenced to death for trying to kill a ninja. In my opinion, Naruto should be awarded a hero's welcome as well as Chunin rank for showing strategy and power needed. He should also be paid the bounty of Orochimaru. Anyone agree?" Some hands on the civilian side rose. Naruto recognized the hands to be the people who had not treated him harshly over the years. Naruto scanned the rest of the civilian council and saw that no more hands would rise. He was about to tell Sarutobi that he didn't need all that, but stopped when he saw the ninja council. All hands were in the air as some of the ninja councilmembers smiled and/or nodded at him.
"It seems that Naruto is the hero of the leaf. He will be paid the full price of 600,000,000,000 yen (about 7,000,000,000 US dollars). Some of the eyes of the civilian council widened at the mention of the pay. None of the ninja council did though. They knew that Orochimaru had a high bounty on his head. He was a traitor to the Leaf and had killed the Kazekage. There was no reason for the bounty to be low. Sarutobi chuckled inwardly as he saw some of the reactions of the council. He heard a crash and turned around to see what had happened.
Naruto's eyes widened until it hurt the sides of his face. His jaw literally hit the ground when he heard the price of Orochimaru's head. Some of the ninjas laughed at this spectacle, including the Hokage. Naruto lifted up a hand slowly and slapped himself, hard. "Jiji, where would I keep that much money? No, the better question is how the hell would I use that much money?"
"First, you could keep the money in the bank. I'll make an account for you. Second, I'm sure you'll find a way to spend that much money. But first, here." The Hokage threw a box at Naruto. It was big as a school desk. Naruto caught and opened it. Inside there was a Chunin vest and two scrolls. "Those two scrolls are from your parents. They wanted me to give this to you when you became a Chunin."
Inuzuka Hana raised a hand. "Who was his parents, Hokage-sama?"
Sarutobi looked at Naruto. "Naruto, your parents were-"
"The Yondaime, Namikaze Minato, and Uzumaki Kushina, a former ninja of the Whirlpool Country.", said Naruto. This time Sarutobi's eyes widened. "You knew? How?"
"Tony has a friend that is an expert when it comes to ninja stuff. He knew about my parents and told me."
"Who is this expert?"
"A really weird old man named Yamanaka Goyaji."
"GOYAJI-SAMA?", yelled Yamanaka Inoichi. Naruto looked at the screaming man. "Oh yeah, your last name is the same as his. Did you know him?"
"Know him? Of course I did, he was the head clan before me, my father." Naruto put his hand to his chin and thought. He looked at Inoichi and thought of Goyaji's appearance. "Nope, don't see the resemblance. Anyways, I'll say hi to him for you."
Inoichi sat back down. 'So that's where the old man went. Not surprised, he was always interested in that kind of stuff.
When the council heard that Naruto's father was their precious 4th Hokage, the room went silent. No one talked except the three above. When they finished, the room went silent again.
"I can see the resemblance. It makes sense that Naruto is the son of Minato.", said Aburame Shibi.
Sarutobi just remembered something. "That's right. You were close to Minato, weren't you Shibi."
Shibi nodded. Then the famous Ino-Shika-Cho trio spoke up. "We knew Minato too.", said Inoichi.
Akimichi Chouza said, "Don't forget about who introduced Minato to ramen."
Nara Shikaku added, "It was troublesome to hang around that blond, but we all had great times."
Hiashi decided to join the conversation. "I didn't know Namikaze that well, but Kushina was a friend of mine. I can vouch for Naruto's heritage just on the fact that he acted like her before this transformation."
The Hokage raised his hand again. "Please, enough. You can have a who-was-closer-to-them contest , if there are no more questions, then meeting adjourned." The councilmembers all stood up and left except for Hiashi. "Hiashi-san, is there something else you would like to say?"
He nodded. "I would like to talk to Naruto if I could."
"What is it, Hiashi-san?", asked Naruto.
"I wish to talk about Hinata."
"Hinata? What about her?"
"Well, you must already know that Hinata likes you." He was about to continue but stopped when he saw Naruto's blank look. "Sir, Hinata doesn't like me."
Smack! The sound of the Hokage facepalming himself brought the attention of the two other males in the room. "Naruto, she does like you. I know that for true. Heck anyone, who's seen you two, has known it."
Naruto rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "Really? I never noticed it before."
"…. HAHAHAHA!", laughed Hiashi. "You are so much like your mother. Kushina was as dense as you when it came to any form of affection. HAHAHA! Speaking of Kushina, this is what I wanted to talk to you about. As I told you, I was a close friend to your mother. No, maybe it's better to say that I owe her much. I want to repay her and since she's…not here anymore," Hiashi had a sad look on his face. "I should repay you as her son."
Naruto waved his hands side to side frantically. "No, no. I really don't need anything. I mean, I just got tons of money."
"Maybe I can give you something that you can't buy with money."
"huh?"
"I would like to give my daughter's hand to you in marriage."
"…huh? Jiji, what…does that…mean?" 'Please don't say what I think it means.
The old leader shook his head. "Naruto, he's asking you to marry Hinata."
"…WHAT?" Naruto stood in a surprised position, frozen to that spot.
Sarutobi rubbed his goatee thing. "Maybe this would be a bad time to tell him about the Clan Restoration Act."
"W-Wh-What's that?" Naruto asked still in the same position.
"well, I think that's the last of it." Tony said. He and Goyaji just spent the afternoon cleaning the blood stains and removing the bodies of the Sound army. His lab never looked cleaner.
"?"
The entire room shook as some of the contraptions on the ceiling fell down. Other machines on the tables rolled off, shattering as they hit the ground.
"Aw, come on. I just cleaned that.", whined Tony. "Oi, Goyaji. Looks like we have to-" Goyaji was gone. In his place was a letter. "Dear Tony, I decided to take a 2 hour vacation. Happy cleaning!"
"…OLD MAN!" Tony shouted.
Naruto walked like a zombie down one of the streets of Konoha. He stumbled constantly and his eyes were the anime wide eyes, you know the white circles. He had reequipped his suit before he left the tower. Now, he was walking to the hospital. For some reason, Hinata was sick. Naruto wondered what happened.
"Fight me.", heard Naruto. He turned around and saw Hyuga Neji standing there. "What did you say?"
"I said, fight me." Neji got into a common Hyuga fighting stance.
Naruto sighed. "Look, I don't really have time to play. I have to go and see Hinata." Naruto dodged quickly as Neji made the first attack. "Fate has decided I will win today."
Naruto sighed again. "Fine, I'll make this quick." He jumped back to the side of the street. Everyone had cleared the area so they didn't get in the crossfire. Neji snickered. "I will make this quick. Fate has decided that I will win. My eyes can see everything." He activated his Byakugan.
Naruto stood there, unmoving. Neji decided to attack again, but this time with, "Eight Trigrams: Sixty Four Palms" Neji's hands moved with lightning speed, hitting all of the places with chakra points. His last strike sent Naruto to the ground. "I told you. Fate has decided that I'm the victor." He sneered at Naruto. At least, until he was met with a punch in the gut. A knee came up to meet him next and snapped his head back. Naruto uppercutted his chest and sent him in the air. Then he did a palm strike of his own onto Neji's stomach. As soon as he made contact, Naruto said, "Thrust power at 10%. Firing!" Neji was blown back by the charge and was sent sprawling on the ground. Naruto walked over to Neji who had a look of pain and confusion on his face. "How? How are you standing? I hit all of your chakra points."
"You idiot. Did you forget that I have armor on?"
"No, this is impossible. I should have won. Fate had decided that I would be the victor."
"Hyuga, you should have figured this out already. Fate is a liar. No matter what we predict, no matter what we think, Fate doesn't go by our plans." Naruto left Neji on the ground and left to the hospital.
Naruto went through the front doors of the building. He got the number of the room from the creeped-out nurse and got to the door. He took a deep breath and slapped himself. 'Come on, Uzumaki. You can talk to her. Nothing's changed. You just know some more stuff. That's it. Come on!
He slid the door open. "Hey Hinat-" Naruto eyes widened. Three doctors stood over her, arguing and thinking about something. But Naruto was concentrating on that. He looked at the patient on the bed and yelled, "Hinata!"
The blue haired girl laid on the bed. She was deathly pale and was breathing short, quick breaths. Naruto ran up to the side of the hospital bed. One of the doctors saw and him and recognized him from the Chunin Exam. He said, "Hey kid! You can't be here. Leave n-"
"What happened?", asked Naruto. The doctor who spoke got a look of annoyance. "KID! Didn't you hear me? You have to leave right now!"
"Enough.", said one of the doctors. His name was Shiro Ryoshi. He was one of the doctors that took care of Naruto when he was young. "He can stay." The doctor grumbled and looked away from Naruto. Ryoshi looked at Naruto. "I'll tell you what's happening. It seems the damage that she received on her heart while fighting her cousin has gotten worse."
'Man, if I knew that, I would have kicked his ass harder. "Then what's wrong? You can fix this, right?"
"No, I have no idea what to do."
"But I think I know someone who knows. CECI, open a channel with the Iron Man suit."
"…Understood. Connecting…"
Naruto waited a few moments, but soon enough he heard static and a voice. "Naruto, what is it?"
"I need you and Goyaji here now. One of my friends is hurt and none of the doctors know what to do."
"Fine. We both can come since Goyaji is BACK FROM HIS TWO HOUR VACATION! Just summon a portal." The connection cut off. Naruto made the 5 one handed seals and created the portal seal that was as tall as the room. Tony and Goyaji came out of it, arguing. "But I told you, I really needed that vacation.", said Goyaji.
"Vacation, my ass. You just didn't want to help cleaning up.", replied the pissed off Tony. "Now, what's the problem." Ryoshi repeated what he said to Naruto to Goyaji. "Hmm, I see. Naruto, could you do a scan of her heart?"
"Yeah. CECI, you heard that, right?"
"…Understood. Scanning… scanning… scanning… scan complete." Naruto pressed a few buttons on a panel on his forearm and a hologram of the scan came up. Tony looked at it and said, "Sorry, I have no idea what to do either."
"That's because when people in America have this problem, you just get a heart transplant when it's not necessary.", said Goyaji.
"Then what do you do in a situation like this?"
Goyaji, instead of answering Tony, looked at the doctors and asked, "Do you know why her heart is so damaged?"
The doctor that had previously yelled at Naruto scoffed at Goyaji. "Of course we do. It's because of the Jyuken strikes. They blocked off the chakra momentarily."
"You say that like it means something.", Goyaji said with a shake of his head.
"What? Do you know what's going on here then if you're so all knowing?"
"Of course I do. The heart needs chakra to work. Chakra is the combination of mental and physical energy and our body is constantly giving our heart chakra. That's why we don't need to think about beating our own heart, why it moves involuntarily. But when chakra disappears for even a second, the heart slows down and won't go back to its original state."
"Then what do we do?", asked Ryoshi.
"We need to engulf the heart in chakra. Naruto, place your hand over her chest and generate as much chakra as you can into your hand." Naruto nodded and did exactly what he was told to do. Naruto took a deep breath and concentrated. His hand became engulfed in chakra and it spread down to Hinata's heart. But, "What is this?", asked the last doctor. "He's producing enough chakra for a Chunin and doesn't even looked wiped out."
Goyaji watched in fascination. "So this is the power of a jinchuuriki, the awesome amounts of chakra." The blue glow of the chakra faded as Naruto stopped. "How is she now?"
The doctors did a checkup and Ryoshi nodded and gave a smile. "She's completely fine now, thanks to you." Naruto let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.
"Naruto," Tony said. "I'm glad you contacted us. Come back with us for a moment. I need to talk to you." Goyaji and Tony went back into the portal they entered in. Naruto nodded and looked back. "Take good care of her." He then ran into the portal, which shattered as soon as Naruto went in.
Naruto walked into the lab, the portal closing behind him. "So what did you want to talk about?"
Tony looked at Naruto with a worried look. "Sorry, Naruto, but it seems my hands will be full for a while. I won't be able to contact you for maybe months."
"Months? But I might need your advice. What should I do if I need your help?"
"That's what we want to talk about." Tony walked to a device that stood upon a seal. It looked like a parking meter without the coin slot. Instead, there was a hole where a USB plug was seen. Tony grabbed the plug and pulled it out. "Naruto, remove your helmet."
Naruto didn't know what was going on, but he trusted Tony to make sure nothing undesirable would occur. He said, "CECI, unlock the restrainers connecting the helmet to the suit."
"…Understood. Unlocking now." There was hiss as smoke blew out of the helmet and the sound of bolts moving. Naruto reached up and took off his helmet, making sure he didn't touch the gear that stuck out of his head.
Tony then said, "Naruto, feel the back of your neck."
Naruto did exactly as Tony ordered and felt a hole in the back. It felt rectangular and small. "What is this?"
"It's a USB port. It allows this to connect to your nervous system, more specifically the machine part of your brain." He plugged the USB in. "Now, pick anything that we might know that you don't."
"Hmm, tell me all about my suit. It seems you added things without my knowledge of it." The parking meter like device beeped. Suddenly, Naruto saw 0's and 1's in his vision. Outside of Naruto, Tony and Goyaji saw the right eye, the side with the gear, glow blue due to the electricity flowing through it. "Uhh, Tony? All I see are two numbers repeating themselves."
"Ask CECI to convert it."
"Right, CECI you heard the man."
"… Converting… done." Multiple drawings and designs replaced the 0's and 1's. "Are these the schematics for my suit?", asked Naruto.
"That's what you asked for, isn't it?"
"So this can give me any information I want?"
"Not any information. Only the info that I have stored in my database. Goyaji added his ninja knowledge too if you need it."
"All right, let's download the whole thing."
"NO!", shouted Tony and Goyaji simultaneously. Naruto jumped back in surprise. "What?"
"Naruto,", Tony began, "if you do that, not only would CECI be converting for 3 months, but the information would overload your brain if you don't give it rest."
"Ohh, whoops." Naruto rubbed the back of his head. But then he went deep into thought.
"Naruto, what is it?"
"Tony,… can I have one more piece of information from this… this.."
"Info Port. Yeah, sure. Why not? What do you want to know?"
Naruto looked at Tony. "How to build things like you do."
"…"
"…"
"..HAHAHAHA!" Tony laughed at the blond but stopped when he saw that he was serious. "That's a crapload of information."
"I know. But if I can't come to you, I can't make modifications. Remember, you said we would modify my suit after the Chunin Exams after I met Rhodey."
How could he forget? Naruto begged him through the entire day and night.
Flashback: 2 days ago
"So this is all I need?", asked Naruto.
Tony nodded. "Yep, this should be all you should need for the exa-"
"Tony! How you doing, man?" Tony looked up and saw his friend from the military, James Rhodey or Rhodes for short. "Is this the kid you told me about? Man, his suit looks bad ass, but not as much as mine."
"Tony, who is this?", asked Naruto.
"This is Col. James Rhodey."
"You could just call me Rhodes or Rhodey though.", interrupted the colonel. "I'm the wielder of the War Machine suit."
Naruto's eyes widened. "You have a suit too?"
"Yep, here it is." Rhodey placed a hand on the wall and the panels slid back showing a silver suit that was much bigger than the Iron Man suit due to the armor and weapons.
"Tonyyy,", whined Naruto, "Why does he have all that stuff and all I have is this?"
Tony rubbed his forehead. He was trying to avoid this. "You're suit is a prototype. I never created one using ninja and my knowledge. Until we test it in a real battle, we can't modify it."
"Aww, please can we modify it now?"
"No."
"Pleasee?"
"No."
"Pleaseee?"
"No."
"Pleaseee?"
"No."
"Pleaseeeeeeeee?"
"I said no, and that's final."
Flashback End
Of course, Tony just saying it was final didn't end the begging. "All right, but don't get into a fight. CECI will be too busy converting to help you." Naruto nodded and Tony said, "JARVIS, upload the knowledge on the basics on building onto Naruto's hardware."
"Of course, Master." The Info Port glowed and the info was sent to Naruto who saw the 0's and 1's. "Uhh, CECI, can you get those out of my sight? It's really distracting." All the 0's and 1's disappeared. "Thanks."
Naruto turned to Tony and Goyaji. "Thanks for everything. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. Literally."
"No problem.", said Tony.
"Don't try dying again, got it, Naruto?", said Goyaji.
Naruto was already in the portal when Goyaji spoke. "I got it." He disappeared.
Tony looked at Goyaji. "Let's get to work."
"Can I have another 2 hour vacation first?"
"NO!"
Naruto landed in an area right outside the Hokage Tower, just as he wanted. "Thanks to you, Tony, now I know what to spend my first billion on. Time to buy some real estate."
