Chapter three: Naruto's old… old? Self
"Oh look! It's her!"
"Who's that with her?"
"Is he a demon sympathiser?"
"I hope not… Scum like her doesn't deserve friends".
"Shut up! I think he heard you?"
"So what? Have you seen him? He's glowing!"
"Yea… so?"
"That means he's probably already a demon like her!"
The frown now currently upon the "glowing" persons face was so annoyed/angry that he had to hold himself back from going to these people talking and beat the hell out of them. The glowing man takes a quick look at his companion, a red-haired pre-teen known as Kushina and sees no negative facial expression on her face. However that didn't mean that she hadn't heard what people had been saying and the glowing person knew this by the way that she had gripped the glowing persons hand even tighter than before and began to walk ever so slightly quicker down the path to the ninja academy.
"Hey… Naruto-Aniki, how strong are you?"
Naruto turned his head to the left to see Kushina looking at him with a curious expression on her face, Naruto realised that she was simply attempting to get her mind away from all of the negative whispering people were doing as they strolled, hand-in-hand down the street. Naruto took a second to assess how much he should reveal about his strength.
"Well… I'm not too sure to be honest, if I were to hazard a guess, I'd say that was pretty strong". Naruto turned his head back to Kushina to see a blank expression on her face as she simply stared at Naruto, annoyed.
"You told me nothing from that…" Naruto smiled cheekily at the young girl as he lifted his fore-finger to his lips.
"Shhh, that's a secret Kushi-chan!"
Even though Naruto had turned his head back to the road he could feel the infuriated glare that she was giving him, that just made Naruto grin even larger as he realised that his new favourite activity was to irritate little Kushina.
Naruto felt the young girl beside him shove him slightly and Naruto chuckled slightly as he gave a gentle squeeze to her hand in response. For some reason, any of the awkwardness that he had felt from before had left him, he was just jolly that he was able to make Kushina feel happy, it was… fulfilling to know that he hadn't lost his gift of kindness from all of his solitary years back in his universe.
No… c'mon Naruto, no more thinking of the past… best to simply move on and live in the now.
The pair had now come up to the ninja academy and Naruto saw all of the students going inside of the academy, it felt nostalgic to Naruto, the Academy looked almost exactly the same when he went to the academy in his time. However one of the many benefits of being his age right now was the fact that he didn't have to go to the academy himself. He wouldn't be able to handle that boredom.
Turning his head to look at the young girl beside him, he sees the nervous, almost hesitant look she had on her face, Naruto took a second to look at what she was staring at, Naruto's eyes widened slightly as he saw the blonde haired pre-teen that was his father in his universe; Minato was staring at the pair looking incredibly apologetic and nervous. At this moment Naruto's mind had a brilliant idea.
Turning back to Kushina, Naruto lowers himself to his knees and turns her to face him.
"Okay, now I'm going to ask you to listen to what I have to say. I think you should give the little guy another chance of friendship".
Kushina opened her mouth to argue as his brows lowered into a frown, Naruto found it to be incredibly cute as her lips pouted.
"Hey, no back-chat Kushi-chan, I'm your Aniki, and as your Aniki you have to do as I say!" Naruto stated proudly as he grinned cheekily. Kushina blushed at the grin but still managed to bop Naruto on the head for his command, Naruto shook his head in joke pain as he chuckled slightly.
"But seriously, you should always try to makes friends… otherwise you might end up regretting it in the future".
"No… No! He left me, he didn't try to save me!" Kushina had now closed her eyes as the memories of being kidnapped came flooding back with a vengeance. Naruto instantly held Kushina In a hug, knowing that his glowing form would calm her mind, he leaned his head to her ear as she shook, keeping the tears from flowing. He lowered his head to her ear to whisper to her.
"Hey, hey it's okay! No-one's going to harm you with me around, you hear me? Now, I'm not saying that you have to instantly forgive him, just hear him out yea?" Kushina looked up at Naruto's to see his kind smile and managed a small nod as well as a weak smile in response.
"Now wipe your eyes and give me a huge smile!" Naruto said boldly as he patted the young girl upon the head. Kushina giggled lightly as she hurriedly wiped her puffy eyes from the horrid memories of two days ago. Once she finished wiping her eyes she gave Naruto a huge bright smile and surprised Naruto even further by lunging her arms around his neck and giving him a tight hug. Naruto laughed happily as he hugged her back in care.
"See! That's the sort of attitude that I want to see from you, no more sad faces okay? That just makes me sad as well!" Kushina pulled back and blushed as she untangled her arms from around Naruto's neck.
"Okay Naruto-Aniki! Thanks a lot!"
"Anytime Kushi-chan! Now get inside and makes sure to keep that happy smile you hear me!?"
Kushina giggled as she nodded and turned away from Naruto and walked over to where Minato was standing nervously.
Naruto stood back up and chuckled to himself, Kushina had a lot of problems but all she needed was people to be there for her… just like Naruto back when he was in the academy. Suddenly Naruto remembered something that he needed to find out.
"Kushina, wait a sec!"
Said young girl turned around as she stood next to Minato and she looked at the golden glowing ninja.
"What time do you finish!?"
"Half four! Why!?"
"Because I'm going to be picking you up! Why else? So make sure to wait for me here if I am not here straight away! I'm going to buy you Ramen!"
Naruto knew that he shocked Kushina with saying that and he turned around.
He also knew he made her really happy due to the girlish scream of joy coming from Kushina's direction, the small smirk couldn't be stopped from forming on Naruto's face as he headed towards the training area where he would receive the test from the Hokage to join Konoha's shinobi.
I wonder who'll be testing me. Probably a no-named chunin or Jonin, I don't really know about anyone in this time that's above an academy position except from the obvious.
Naruto stopped in his walking, before he arrived at the training ground, he had some… misguided citizens to… correct.
With a golden flash Naruto disappeared and reappeared right in-front of a few male/female civilians who were the ones talking rather rudely about Kushina and himself.
"Why hello there my good men and women! I couldn't help but notice that you were all saying some rather rude things to little Kushi-chan whilst we strolled by so I could take her to the academy. I'd like to know why!" As Naruto said this, his tone was strangely too joyful. Whilst two of the civilians had began to sweat bullets one of the rather… brave? Civilian's chuckle as he gets up into Naruto's face.
"Isn't it obvious? Because she's a demon… It's that simple!"
"Is that right?"
"Ha! Yea, that's right, and I recommend that you stay away from her as well, otherwise you might start to become a demon!"
Throughout the whole short conversation Naruto had nothing but a smile on his face, however if you looked in his eyes you'd see that he was not amused at all.
Naruto places his hand on the man's shoulder, the smile still on his face as the man smiles back smugly.
"I think I might kill you!"
Silence permeates the air as everyone nearby gasp at the words spoken.
The man Naruto placed his hand shoulder on eyes are opened wide, sweat now pouring down his face as his teeth begin to shiver.
"You see I might just do that! Buuuuut I'm not going to!"
The man stopped dead as he attempted to say something, finally after a few seconds of simply flapping his gums, he manages to stutter out "wh-what!?"
"I'm not going to kill ya! What don't ya understand from that! Instead I'm going to tell you something really important!"
"Wh-what is that?"
Naruto leaned in slightly, his smile disappeared, replaced with a blank look as he stared directly into the man's sweating face.
"If you ever even think something bad about little Kushi-chan… I will destroy everything about you and when you reach hell and I catch up to you I'll do it all over again… you understand me?"
The man nodded hurriedly and Naruto removed his hand form the man's shoulder as the smile returned.
"That's super! Glad we understand each other. I'm going to go now and remember… no bad thoughts!"
With that Naruto simply turned around and strolled away, whistling innocently.
Another thing to be noted about Naruto compared to when he was sixteen within his universe is that the new universe's Naruto had already lived for many years within his universe and thus has also been accustomed to a lot more violence then even the fourth Shinobi war showed. This Naruto was mature, smart, kind and ruthless when needed, unlike the old Naruto who didn't have a ruthless bone in his body.
This Naruto had lived on past the war, past all of his friends and loved ones, this Naruto understood that some people couldn't be convinced through words or even through the use of fists. This Naruto knew that some people just needed to be ended and usually this Naruto would have simply followed through with his death threat from before, however this Naruto had also been subjected to Kushina, the sad but wanting to be happy young girl that was his mother. And meeting her had changed him from his old ways. He was beginning to become like his old… old? Self.
And he loved it! He loved becoming like his old self, after all of the crap that had happened to him back in his universe he was happy that he was still able to be happy in this new universe, it was like all of the despair that he had been holding in had simply vanished when he met his not-mother mother.
I really need to sort my thoughts out on that… It's getting really weird on how I should refer to her in my head.
However Naruto couldn't think further on this as he realised that he was in-fact going to be very late if he didn't start to speed up, so without a second thought Naruto hopped from street level onto a nearby roof and began heading towards the specified training ground.
A few minutes later, Naruto had arrived to the training ground and it was if nostalgia was following his today because the training ground that he would be taking his test in would be training ground seven.
Ah training ground seven, brings back all of the memoires of how much of a dumbass I was back then! And there's a lot of them!
"Ah, just in time Naruto-kun! Allow me to introduce the person that I have chosen to test you". The Hokage motioned his arm towards the only other person in the training ground and Naruto groaned in his head because Jiraiya of the Sannin was standing there.
Out of everyone possible to test me, the Hokage deems it necessary to have one of the Sannin's to test me? Kami hates me it's confirmed.
Naruto took a good look at his late sensei in his universe and all of the repressed emotions came flooding back with a vengeance, thankfully Naruto had become used to the submergence of sealed away emotions since he came to this place.
"Naruto-kun, allow me to introduce one of pupils when I was a Jonin-sensei; Jiraiya of the Sannin!"
Jiraiya stood proudly behind the Hokage with his hand son his hips, and a smug grin on his lips.
Yup, he's still an ass.
"Hiya kid! As the old man said, I'm Jiraiya of the legendary Sannin and I'm going to be testing you out right now!"
Naruto nodded dumbly, unsure on what to say to the exuberant man. Thankfully the Hokage saw the need to explain a few important details first.
"Now, it may seem a bit weird why I've chosen one of my best ninja's for this test, but I had a feeling about you… that you might be something else entirely!"
Naruto had the decency to blush but thankfully his glowing form hid it from the other two.
"I think you may be overestimating me Hokage-samma!"
"Nonsense, the old man doesn't get his feeling's wrong and with that cool looking Kekkei Genkai I can see why he feels that way!"
Naruto shook his head in exasperation, trust that his golden form would give someone the idea that he was powerful and normally he'd be more than happy to show off his skills.
But I can't really show off too much, I'm trying to be incognito and raise any suspicion as to how I have so much power in the first place.
"Okay, even though my bloodline ability is nothing more than a calming aura, I'll accept your feeling but I fear you may be disappointed".
The Hokage nodded pleasantly, it'd be hard to disappoint someone who was so kind to everyone.
"Do not fret Naruto-kun, you won't be judged harshly, now shall I lay down the rules?"
Both members nodded as Sarutobi began his rules.
"Everything is allowed except from killing blows and anything above A-rank Justu's" The Hokage took a moment to make sure that both competitors had heard him correctly before continuing.
"You will both begin when I say and when I have seen enough I will stop the test". Both other members in the field nodded and Naruto began warming himself up for the test.
I may be going to hold back a lot, but that doesn't mean I can't show off a little. I mean I want to able to give Kushi-chan a story about how her Aniki manage to hold his own against a sannin!
Naruto finished warming and then took his fighting stance which consisted with Naruto bringing his fists up to his face in a somewhat unprofessional street fighting stance. Naruto had never been a fighter who cared to have a real fighting style, when it came to the physical aspect of fighting Naruto simply used what he felt was best in the situation at the time, he'd do unusual things such as go from a feinted punch straight into a head butt, shocking his opponent.
Now most people would consider Naruto's no-style-fighting weird but Naruto would argue and state that it simply another factor that added to his unpredictability, something that he thought every ninja should aspire to be.
Yes Naruto had maybe grown a small ego. But who could blame him? After all, in his universe he was considered the single man who ended the fourth shinobi world war, as well as bringing peace about the world.
A peace that not everyone got to experience…
At least he hadn't become asshole Uchiha levels of arrogance coughSasukecough.
Naruto certainly wasn't bitter about that Uchiha prick!
Naruto shook his head, best to be prepared, even though Jiraiya of his time was super strong he was also quite aged, Naruto would now be fighting him in the prime of his life, he couldn't let up at all otherwise he'd be humiliated and end up with a genin rank or something.
And I refuse to be stuck with that rank again! I never had the chance to apply for a higher promotion… even after the war. Now, Oji-san said no jutsu above A rank… that leaves… nothing… Nothing except from the academy basics and my Sexy transformation and something tells me that whilst the result would be hilarious to witness, it wouldn't really impress anyone in the end.
Naruto couldn't even use his signature move; Kage bushin as it is a sacred move known only to the forbidden scroll.
Physical fighting it is then!
Before anything could happen, the Hokage once again spoke.
"Ah! I'd like to ask before we begin, we recently imported a new machine called a TV into Konoha which can transfer moving images live to any other TV through the use of a satellite, I am just wondering if both of you wouldn't mind being recorded during this test to also test if this contraption works?"
Naruto pondered about that information for a moment, by the time he was born in his Universe, TV's had already been implemented into every house and classroom… what the Hokage just said reminded him that he had not only left his universe but that he had gone far back in time as well.
"Who would be watching this match?"
The Hokage turned his head to his past pupil "This would be live to the academy to show them what they can become with determination and the Will of Fire as well as a select few clan locations!"
Naruto and Jiraiya looked at each other and nodded and the Hokage smiled as the contraption that would record the test was set up.
"What the hell is this?"
"Slot A into slot B? What fucking slot B?"
"Where the hell is the adaptor lead?"
"The fuck's an adaptor lead?"
Naruto couldn't stop the hand that palmed his face in embarrassment as the supposedly professional crew to set up the contraption were seeming less and less competent as the seconds went by.
"Ah! Crap!"
"What?"
"I cut myself!"
"On what?! There's nothing to cut yourself on!"
"Up yours Ikomo!"
Naruto just stared as the Hokage stepped in to help the crew and in seconds the contraption was working.
The reason why it wasn't?
Someone didn't turn on the power source.
The idea that Naruto had travelled into a universe where everyone was a dumbass crossed his mind briefly before he shook that thought out of his head.
"Okay, we're live in three, two and one!"
"Begin!"
With the shout from the Hokage both competitors charged forth at each other.
Naruto ducked underneath a fist from his late master and brought his own fist up to strike his late sensei's chin, Naruto already knew that his master was going to dodge that strike so instead of waiting for his sensei to dodge, he jumped back, in an attempt to gain distance between him and his master.
Once he landed and once again raised his fists in-front of his face in his no-style fighting. His late master chuckled.
"Impressive, you managed to keep up with my strike, granted I am holding back considerably as we have no real knowledge what you can handle!"
Naruto grumbled, he was being underestimated and no matter what Naruto may go through in his life…
He hated being underestimated.
Naruto jumped forward at half his max speed, however he was still fast enough to be hard to seen by anyone except from the Hokage and the Sannin.
In a flash he was within range of the Sannin who looked mildly surprised at seeing the glowing man so close so quickly. Naruto punched outwards with his right fist and was unsurprised when the Sannin managed to lean to the side slightly to avoid the punch. Jiraiya countered by grabbing his arm and throwing the universe traveling ninja over his shoulder. Naruto took this in stride as he flipped in mid-air and landed safely on his feet. Before anything else could happen Naruto shot forward at the same speed as before and tried to punch his master once again. Once again Jiraiya dodged to the side and reached out to grab his arm.
Naruto expected this however and pulled his arm back in a feint and just like he thought of before, he leaned in the same direction as his sensei and brought his head forward and bashed it against Jiraiya's in a violent display.
Silence was everywhere as all the people present simply stared, slack jawed at Naruto's frankly bizarre attack.
A groan of pain could be heard throughout the forest as Jiraiya stumbled backwards, holding his forehead in pain, he knew there would be a lump there tomorrow after that.
It took a second for Naruto realised that he had just head-butted one of the sannin in the forehead.
A forehead with a head protector on! How did that hurt him more than me?
A chuckle is heard as Naruto turns his head to see the Hokage chuckling slightly.
"That was… an unusual attack Naruto-kun, although I must say that I'm surprised that you managed to hurt Jiraiya-kun even though he had his head protector on… Makes me wonder what your head is made of!" Naruto grumbled as he returned to the fight, he briefly wondered if Kushina was watching the fight through the TV, the Hokage did say that the fight would be broadcasted to the academy and select locations.
Little did he know that Kushina was in-fact watching the fight and safe to say she was incredibly amazed at what she saw her Aniki do.
LINE-BREAK
Kushina had just entered the academy, excitement running through her core as she just heard from her Aniki that they were going to get ramen after lessons.
YES! This is awesome!
Kushina took a moment to calm herself as she and Minato walked down the corridor towards their classroom. Kushina didn't know what to think of the boy walking next to her, just yesterday she had slapped him and accused him of abandoning her, however just like Naruto had told her she listened to what he had to say and after hearing his explanation… she felt like she could've handled the situation yesterday better.
Minato told her that he was following the trail that she had left with her red hair but for some reason the trail just ended, Minato had just found another piece of hair and followed the direction that was garnered from the hair and then… there was simply no more hair to be found anywhere.
Kushina thought about that for a while, how could the hair just have stopped? She kept cutting strands off… Suddenly her brain had a thought. Naruto had found her, he found her by following the red hair so did that mean he was the one who moved her hair strand?
So that means that the only reason Minato didn't save me was because Naruto found the next hair strand first?
So it was her red hair that allowed her to find her new Aniki?
Kushina smiled slightly at that thought, it was just another reason why she now loved her long red hair.
She took a quick glance at Minato and saw him nervously smile at her, she knew that he was scared of her not accepting his story. But when she smiled at the young boy, he knew that he was forgiven and that maybe their friendship could re-continue.
They entered the classroom and both were confused by the strange black box present on the instructors table.
They both take their respective seats, Kushina sat between her best friends; Hitomi Hyuga and Mikoto Uchiha with Taji sat in-front of her on the row down.
Hitomi took a second to smile kindly at Kushina before an apologetic look crossed her face.
"I'm sorry for not coming to see you Kush-cha but there was a clan meeting and I was needed there". Kushina just smiled back and gave her pale eyed friend a tight hug.
"It's okay Hitomi-chan! I'm actually almost happy about the whole thing because now I have my Aniki!"
Hitomi smiled happily at Kushina's excitement.
"Oh yea, I heard from Miko-chan and Taji-chan that this strange glowing man saved you, but isn't he a little old to be your big brother?"
Kushina shook her head.
"No, he's only sixteen, three years older than us!"
"What! That's amazing! What's his name anyway?"
"It's Naruto Kurama!"
Before anything else could be said, the instructor came into the classroom and quieted down the students.
"Hello students, today we have something very special in store for you all, I assume all of you have seen the black box on my desk correct? This object is called a TV or television, its purpose is too show recorded moving images through the black screen, this is a new development of which the Hokage imported from a neighbouring village. The reason it is here is that today we are going to be showing you a fight between the Toad Sannin; Jiraiya-samma and a new ninja who wishes to join our ranks, what we hopefully want is to show you all what you can aspire to be in your Ninja career with lots of determination and hard work, we should be receiving a signal soon, until then please talk quietly."
With that the instructor sat down at his desk and began to write some reports whilst waiting for the signal to the TV.
Throughout the wait all of the students were wondering who this new ninja could be, but Kushina had a feeling that she knew who this new ninja was.
I finally get to see what Naruto-Aniki can do! I bet he's super strong Dattebayo… I shouldn't use that anymore, that's Aniki's saying… hmm, Dattebayo… Dattebayo… Dattebane? It means the same but I feel like I prefer Dattebane more.
Suddenly the TV turned on and the training field in which Naruto was at appeared on the screen, it was showing the beginning of the fight as Naruto and the sannin charge at each other. Throughout the first half of the match Kushina was awestruck at her Aniki's skill, he was able to stand up to a sannin… a freaking SANNIN! A happy smile broke out onto Kushina's face as she saw Naruto land from the shoulder flip from the sannin and charge at him again, his speed was so fast that she couldn't even see him move.
However she couldn't stop the face palm that she did when she saw Naruto head but the sannin.
Did he not notice that he's wearing a head-protector?
She saw the sannin hold his head in pain whilst Naruto simply looked sheepish.
Is his head made of steel? What the hell!
Kushina felt someone nudge her arm, she turned to see Mikoto giving her a curious stare.
"That's your new Aniki? How strong is he?"
Kushina just shrugged, she had no idea herself how strong Naruto was as he had been very vague with his answer on the way to the academy. With that she glued her eyes back onto the TV, she didn't want to miss a single thing.
Naruto-Aniki is so awesome, he's also a fellow ramen lover, even better!
With everyone so glued to the screen no one saw a certain blonde haired boy scowling harshly at the glowing figure on the screen.
I'll show you he thought in anger.
THIS IS A LINE BREAK
Naruto had just let Jiraiya recover from the vicious head but that he had delivered, he wasn't going to attack during this because this was a simple test and therefore shouldn't be taken as life and death depended on it.
"Ha ha! I like you kid! I bet you and Minato-gaki would get along really well… remind me to introduce you to him later!"
Naruto nodded, slightly excited to be formally introduced to his late father; Minato Namikaze.
Without warning Jiraiya went through some hand-seals in quick succession, Naruto prepared himself.
"Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu" (Great fireball technique) and with that a huge fireball shot from the sannin's mouth, heading straight for Naruto.
Naruto grinned, he knew that he was going to be considered a show off for what he was going to do but he didn't care, he had a certain someone to impress. Naruto charged towards the fireball and jumped at it, at the last second before the fire touched him, Naruto went at his full speed and seemingly disappeared for a split-second from everyone's view. In that split-second Naruto appeared on the other side of the fireball as it continued forward and exploded a few trees behind him. The Hokage quickly got rid of the fire before it could spread.
However before Jiraiya could understand how Naruto seemingly went through the fireball, the glowing ninja moved in-front of Jiraiya and aimed his fist at Jiraiya's face, Naruto was slightly surprised when the Sannin managed to grab Naruto's fist just inches from his face. Jiraiya smirked.
"You're something else kid! I can't believe you said we'd be disappointed! You're about as strong as a mid-level Jonin right now!"
Naruto never thought being considered a mid-level Jounin would be a vast underestimation but to him it was.
Naruto simply smirked back at his late sensei and grabbed the fist that Jiraiya had sent his way in retaliation to Naruto's attempt, this made it so that the pair were in a physical dead-lock. Before either could make any other movement Naruto jumped up and kicked his legs out onto Jiraiya's chest, this caused the sannin's grip to loosen which made Naruto jump away as he kicked out. Once again a move that most normal shinobi wouldn't think of.
Naruto landed safely whilst the sannin stumbled backwards, holding his chest in pain.
"You okay there Jiraiya-san?"
Jiraiya grumbled as he charged forward, he was done holding back.
He arrived in-front of Naruto and attempted to kick the glowing ninja's feet from under him, Naruto wasn't having any of it though and he hopped over the kick and responded by bringing his leg down from the hop straight onto Jiraiya's head, the Toad Sannin stepped back and punched forward.
"HALT!"
Jiraiya stopped with his fist an inch away from Naruto's face which he was very glad as he hadn't recovered fully from the missed snap-kick he attempted on his opponent.
At the same time the recording equipment was disabled as the test was over.
The Hokage walked over to the two combatants with a kind smile on his face.
"That was amazing Naruto-kun, I can see how you managed to save Kushina-chan with that kind of speed and strength! Although I did notice that you didn't seem to utilize any kind of jutsu's or genjutsu, why is that?"
Naruto scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Well, I kind of can't use Genjutsu's my Chakra reserve is so large that I can't possibly focus my Chakra for delicate things such as that! And my jutsu's are either A-rank or above A-rank, and I'd rather not show them to be honest… don't want to reveal all of my tricks!"
The Hokage nodded, he had to respect Naruto's wishes, and he came to join them and saved a fellow shinobi so he'd respect Naruto's wishes.
"That is respectable and I will allow this, Naruto for the skill and ability you have shown me in this test, I am happy to give you the rank of Special Jounin, I would rank you at regular Jounin but since you can't use Genjutsu and your Jutsu's are specifically above A rank I believe this rank is appropriate due to your specialisation in speed and unique fighting style, what do you think Jiraiya-kun?"
The toad sannin quickly looked over Naruto once more and beamed at him.
"This kid has scary speed and that fighting style sure is a surprise, I can even tell that his potential is so much more, I'd even say that he is high-end Jounin level now!"
Naruto beamed proudly and snickered on the inside.
I wonder what their response would be if I told them that what I used was only using half of my full power of my current power and in my universe where I had Kurama's backup power, it would be about 10% of my power. Man, I've lost so much of my power since coming here.
Naruto was brought back when he was presented with a head-protector with the Konoha leaf emblazoned on the metal slab on the headband.
"Thank-you Hokage-samma!"
The Hokage inclined his head in acceptance as he turned to his pupil.
"Jiraiya-kun, thank you very much for agreeing to this test, I am grateful!"
"It's all good Sensei, in-fact I'd like to get to know the kid a little better, he's quite the character!"
The kind-old Hokage nodded as he turned back to his new Shinobi.
"Well, you will be given a week to settle in and then you will start to receive missions, most of your missions will be with a full team of four or three for a few months before single missions will be given, report to my office in one week In which your first mission will be assigned, congratulations and good luck Naruto-kun". Naruto nodded as the Hokage vanished along with Jiraiya.
Naruto smiled brightly to no one in particular as he whopped in the air, he was in the Konoha Shinobi again, quickly tying the head-protector around his fore-head like he used to, just like all of his clothes the head-band lit up in a golden fire and the loose ends of the band floated upwards just like his hair due to the form he was in.
He didn't care though, he was a Konoha ninja again.
He felt complete now, he didn't feel naked anymore due to not having the band around his forehead.
Not letting this go again, I miss my original one but this one will suffice. I can't wait to show Kushina! But I still have a few more hours before her lessons end. I better make sure that my idea of where to get Ramen is still there!
With that thought Naruto vanished in a flash of golden light in the process of checking what he wanted to check out.
THIS IS A LINE BREAK
Three hours later the Academy had ended and all of the kids were leaving out the front gate of the Academy, Kushina stood at the gate and waved goodbye to her friends that she had, she even waved to Minato who smiled happily as he travelled on his way.
Kushina looked around for a while wondering where Naruto was.
Where is he? He said he'd come to pick me up, come on Aniki!
Kushina began to frantically looking around until a pair of hands covered her eyes in surprise, she briefly became scared until she began to feel incredibly calm and because of this she smiled happily.
Naruto Aniki!
Quickly turning around in Naruto's grip Kushina hugged Naruto around the middle in happiness. She felt Naruto's arms wrap around her and she giggled inside.
"Whoa! I guess you must've missed me eh?"
Kushina moved back from his hug and smiled brightly at him, noticing the headband she gasped and started to jump in place due to excitement.
Naruto laughed as he watched Kushina jump in place.
"You passed!"
"Yes I did, I gained the rank of Special Jounin!" Naruto stated proudly, pointing his thumb at his new headband.
"Spe-Special Jounin!? That's so COOL!"
"I know right! Now, how about I tell you everything about what happened over some wonderful ramen?"
Kushina's eyes lit up like fire as she nodded excitedly.
"Well then, follow me Kushi-chan" With that Naruto reached his hand out and smiled kindly when Kushina grabbed his hand in return.
"Where are we going?" Kushina asked as they strolled together away from the academy.
"Well, after I passed my test I wondered around for a place to eat Ramen and I came across this brand new Ramen stand called Ichiraku's, it's run by this kind old man with a moustache called Kaiso and his young son; Teuchi and they make the best Ramen in the world trust me!"
With that the pair continued onwards, hand in hand.
I think I can do this, I actually think can fix everything that went wrong in my universe, I need to do… for the sake of my friends to be born… for the sake of great five ninja nations.
For the sake of Kushina.
CHAPTER END
Hello, I'm not going to say much here due to the fact that I am still recovering and as I finish this up am going through a particularly bad case of chest pain, just like the doctors said I would be dealing with for a few months.
Thank you very much for reading.
