Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
Two years had passed again. During this time, Naruto used his spare time to improve his skills and expand his arsenal of jutsu by 'borrowing' from his parent's and the library. Over this period of time Naruto had spent majority of his spare time learning about other stuffs he thought was useful like ninjutsu knowledge and fuinjutsu.
Naruto was currently on level six, he was having problem with the higher level seals since he had no-one to teach, fuinjutsu was a dead art and not even his sensei, Aja knew beyond the knowledge head gained from Naruto. Naruto couldn't asked his parent or his godfather but his pride and his beliefs stopped him from doing so as he didn't like the thought of relying on them after he had spent so long becoming independent and being able to do things on his own.
Naruto improved in other arts, like genjutsu. After Naruto got rid of the kyuubi, his chakra reserves stopped expanding at a rapid rate and that made it easier for Naruto to master chakra control and was about to use some of the advanced genjutsu as he didn't have enough chakra control to use the basic ones. Naruto also had a few aces in the hole, one of which was the rasengan which took a five days to master it, Naruto had stumbled along the scroll to learning the rasengan when he was looking through the drawers for something more powerful than a bunch of C-ranked jutsus.
Naruto was not the only one that improved, Kiba had also improved, he was able to master chakra control due to him being trained and taught about the chakra control exercises from Naruto. Kiba had learned some ninja from Naruto and some jutsus from his clan, however out of all the arts, Kiba had improved on his taijutsu most.
Kiba was now strong enough to give Naruto a challenge but not enough to beat him as Naruto had trained harder and longer than Kiba, so Akamaru had learned a few jutsu from the clan and a few ninjutsu from Naruto, just like Kiba. Akamaru and Kiba had grown significantly stronger and many, if not all of his clansmen noticed this. Many of the clansmen thought that the cause was Naruto's influence on Kiba.
Right now, Naruto was waiting for his turn to do the exams and become a genin with Kiba in besides of him sweating nervously, "Kiba, would you stop being nervous." said Naruto as he turned towards Kiba. Naruto was wondering if Kiba managed to get the results that they both wanted him to get.
"Kiba Inuzuka, please step up." said Iruka and Kiba walked to the front, Kiba ready to pass.
"I want you to demonstrate these jutsus in order, Henge, Kawamiri and Bunshin." spoke Iruka as he held a fair and righteous tone that Kiba knew meant that Kiba didn't have to be nervous.
"Henge." called out Kiba as he used the jutsu to create an illusion, just like that Kiba turned into Naruto. "Kawamiri." Kiba performed the jutsu and suddenly he switched places with Iruka, "Bunshin." suddenly there were two Kibas.
Iruka evaluated the performance, "The henge was identical, the Kawamiri was quick and effective, the bunshin was in perfect conditions." once Iruka evaluated Kiba's performance and congraduated the boy as he gave the boy a Konoha headband.
"Naruto Uzumaki, please step up." Naruto walked to the front with little hesitation, fear or nervousness.
"Just like the other, perform the Henge, Kawamiri and Bunshin." said Iruka as he had a scratchpad and a pen to evaluate Naruto with.
"Henge."Naruto turned into the shodaime Hokage, "Kawamiri." Naruto replaced himself with Iruka, just like Kiba which seemed to irritate Iruka, "Bunshin." Naruto had a cross with both index and and middle finger joined together, suddenly there a identical clone of Naruto straight besides Naruto and the clone wave at Iruka.
"The henge was perfect though I question why you picked the picked the shodaime Hokage, the Kawamiri was quick and effective, the bunshin were exact copies of the original and was able to move it's hand." said Iruka as he evaluated Naruto's performance, Iruka smiled as he handed Naruto a Konoha headband.
Naruto held the headband with pride as his years of hardwork had paid off, he walked to his seat with a grin as he and Kiba were now official shinobis. Naruto and Kiba grinned at each other as they looked happier than ever.
After about twenty minutes, everyone had taken the test and became genins. They were smiling and talking to each other as they felt pride for getting the headband and passing the test.
Iruka was swiping tears from his eyes, "You have all congraduated, you are now genins and shinobis of the hidden leaf. You can all go!" said Iruka as tears rolled out of his eyes, he watched the students leave with smiles on their as Iruka felt pride.
Naruto and Kiba walked up to Iruka, "Hey Iruka-sensei, let's celebrate with some Yakiniku Q beef." said Naruto as he and Kiba dragged the proud sensei to a dango shop, despite them dragging him to a dango shop Iruka was distracted by the thought of his students when he first meet them.
Naruto and Kiba walked towards the most famous eatery, which had an all-you-can-eat-buffet. On the way Naruto and Kiba wondered if Choji knew about that place as they talked stuff, like who was gonna to teamed with who and other stuffs, like their favourite colours and whatnot. Kiba and Naruto let go of Iruka, when Iruka snapped out of his delusions and they headed to Yakiniku Q
"We're here!" stated Kiba as he, Kiba and Iruka walked to see some of the other students, like Choji, Shikamaru and Ino. Naruto, Kiba and Iruka decided to take the vacant place next to Choji and Shikamaru.
"Hey guys, you celebrating graduation too?" asked Shikamaru since Choji was continuously eating the beef with little to no stop and Ino watched him in agony as she struggled to control herself while having watch Choji eat those food in front of her.
"Yeah, that's what we were going to do because we've never tried this place and heard that it was great from a lot of people, so we decided to celebrate her." said Naruto talking to Shikamaru as he had a simple conversation with Shikamaru while Iruka and Kiba were ordering the food.
"So who do you think the Hokage is gonna team up?" asked Naruto as he looked at Shikamaru, knowing that he was probably right considering Shikamaru did have an IQ of 200.
"If I had to guess..." Shikamaru thought about the teams, "... Me, Ino and Choji will teamed as the next generation Ino-Shika-Cho; Hinata, Kiba and Shino will be teamed as a team specialised in recon and tracking; Mito, Sasuke and Sakura will probably to teamed up and that means that you'll be put in one of these teams or be in a team with only you and a sensei." stated Shikamaru, he looked at Choji and Ino to see that Choji was ordering some more while Ino started to get that crazy look on her face.
Kiba and Iruka saw the waitress bringing the food and Kiba decided to inform Naruto, "Hey Naruto, the food's here... why are you raw? Should they be cooked?" asked Kiba as he looked at the food from different wondering how they were supposed to eat it and got closer to sniff. Yeah, it was definitely raw all right.
Iruka laughed as he watched Naruto and Kiba wonder how to eat the food before deciding to break the ice, "You're supposed to pick up the beef with your chopstick and place it on the griller to cook it." explained Iruka as Naruto and Kiba 'Oh'ed before they took the while plate of raw beef and put it all on the griller in the middle of the table.
Naruto looked at Iruka, "Iruka-sensei, could you tell us where Kiba and I am?" asked Naruto as he got Iruka's attention, Naruto quickly looks at the beef and started to turn them when he thought the beef were cooked enough.
Iruka looked at Kiba and Naruto as he wondered if he should tell them or not. Iruka decided that it wouldn't hurt to tell them, "Kiba, you're in a good place doing better than almost half the people in your class. Naruto, you're near the bottom, being better than a few of the people in your class." said Iruka as he told them how well they had done in the test.
Naruto dropped his jaws in surprise, "How could I have done worst than majority of the class?" asked Naruto as he picked he jaw up, Naruto had done great in in every single one of those tests, he even read every questions properly and answered to the best of his ability. Even Kiba couldn't believe it as he knew that Naruto would have gotten through all the tests like a breeze.
"You did great in all the test, except the questions where he got zero and questions are worth 30% in total, majority of your classmates did well on all test, which caused them to get a higher percentage than you." said Iruka as he explained to Naruto how he was near the bottom.
"That's impossible, I know I answered the questions correctly." stated Naruto before he looked at his cooked beef and saw that they were fully cooked, he grabbed those beef and started eating them.
"To be honest, your answers were noteworthy but you wrote the right answers for the wrong questions." stated Iruka as he picked up some of the beef and tarted eating.
Naruto topped eating his the beef and looked at Iruka, "Would it be okay if I looked at the qeustions I did?" Asked Naruto with a serious tone as he had a serious face to match his serious tone.
Iruka was surprised by the serious tone of Naruto and was surprised even more when he saw Naruto's serious face, "Well, I am supposed to saw them to the Hokage but if you think it's that serious then I guess the Hokage shouldn't have a problem with that." stated Iruka as he took a scroll out of a pocket on his flak jacket. He opened the scroll and channeled chakra into the scroll and multiple scrolls popped into existence with small clouds of smoke.
Iruka looked through the scrolls until he found the one with Naruto's name on it and handed it to Naruto as he sealed all the other scrolls back into his scroll. Naruto opened the scroll and channeled, which caused a pile of papers filled with questions and answers. Naruto looked through all the questions on every single paper and got angrier as he read through more of the papers. Naruto held the last paper with his clenched tightly to it, Naruto hand was turning white as he kept clenching the paper.
Iruka saw this, "What's worry Naruto?" asked Iruka as he looked at Naruto concerned as he had never seen Naruto act like this.
Naruto's eyes were still glued to the papers, "These questions aren't questions I had in the test." stated Naruto as his hand had turned white, Naruto let go of the paper and placed it back on the pile of papers before he gave it back to Iruka.
"So that means..."
"Someone must have tampered with my test, and I wouldn't surprised if it was a teacher because a lot of people do hate me." stated Naruto as he used his chopsticks to pick up those fully cooked beef and started eating them.
"Really! Then I might have to go through all of these test papers to make sure that it didn't happen to anyone else." stated Iruka as he mentally noted to check all the test paper, which made him sigh as he realised that it would take most his time to go through all the test papers.
Naruto, Kiba and Iruka ate all the beef and patted their bellies in satisfaction as the waitress came to them and handed them the bill. Iruka, Kiba and Naruto decided to split the bill as they paid together and headed out of the eatery. They stood outside and thanked each other for the great meal before they went their separate ways; Naruto was heading to his house; Kiba was heading to his home as well; Iruka was heading to the Hokage's tower to speak to the Hokage about what Naruto said.
Naruto was heading home and on the way he saw Mito heading to the main gate with a big scroll strapped to her back, which looked important. Naruto decided to ignore Mito and just head home as if he saw nothing.
"Family is forever! So hold on to them and never let them go."
Naruto remembered what Ajax said about family and mentally cursed as he took a few deep breaths before he chased after Mito.
Mito was happy as she had graduated and was heading home when she bumped into Mizuki, "Hey Mizuki-sensei, I'm an official ninja now!" exclaimed Mito as she pointed to the head band on her forehead, much to Mizuki's fury.
Mizuki put on a fake frown as he was laughing in his mind, "Mito, it seems that you failed your written test and it looks like you're the dead last." stated Mizuki trying to sound sad, despite the fact that he was the one who tampered with her written test and caused her to get a zero.
Mito's smile turned into a frown as she thought about how her parents would feel and what would happen if they found out that she was the dead last. She frowned at the thought of what would happen. "You know there is way that you can get extra-credit and not be the dead last." Mito suddenly looked at Mizuki with hope in her eye.
"All you have to do if go the Hokage's office and bring the big scroll to this location without letting anyone know." said Mizuki as he handed Mito a paper with the location, where she was supposed to take the scroll to. Mizuki mentally laughed even more as he put his plan into action.
"Sure thing Mizuki-sensei." said Mito as she rushed to the Hokage's tower with the piece of paper on her hand, leaving behind a happy Mizuki with a smirk on his face.
Mito headed to the Hokage's tower and walked into the Hokage's office as he looked around for a scroll and saw the big scroll on the side. Mito quickly picked it up and was about to head out of the office when Minato suddenly entered, which caused Mito to panic and use the Orioke no jutsu. Lots of blood came out of Minato's nose as he passed out from seeing a nude beauty with huge boobies, Mito took this chance to flee.
Mito ran through Konoha as she jumped from rooftops to rooftops, she got to the main gates and managed to get through by using her Orioke no jutsu to knock the gate guards from nosebleed. She headed to the place where Mizuki told her to meet him at and saw that she had some time, she looked through the scroll and saw the jutsu she despised the most, the bunshin jutsu.
She had to keep doing the same chakra control exercises for a week begore she could create a clone and even then she could only create ten at minmum. She decided to learn the jutsu thinking that if she learned the jutsu then she would get even more extra-credit.
Naruto looked through the forest that surrounded Konoha but they were so huge and there was so many of them. He looked around near the main gates and decided to expand the area that he was searching when he didn't find her. Naruto kept searching and after a while, he looked up to see that the sun was start to go down.
Naruto kept looking for Mito and he almost lost hope until he heard a voice "Yatta! I did it.", Naruto decided to go to the source of the voice hoping that it was Mito. Naruto rushed to the source of the voice to see Mito.
Naruto ran towards Mito, "Baka, what are you doing out here with that scroll?" shouted Naruto angrily as he was angry at Mito for making him worry about her like that.
Mito smiled as she showed her lick to Naruto, "Mizuki-sensei told me that if came out here and bring this scroll then I would get extra-credit." stated Mito happily.
Naruto listened and narrowed his eyes, he had always suspected Mizuki was up to something and couldn't be trusted, especially when Naruto went his test papers. This was something he had to tell Iruka-sensei and the Hokage as he was about to drag Mito to the Hokage's office.
Suddenly Naruto the sound of a giant shuriken slicing through the air and he looked around to see that the giant shuriken was headed for Mito, he looked at Mito and saw that she didn't. Naruto ran in front of her as he blocked the giant shuriken with his back, Mito and Mizuki watched as the giant shuriken pierced deep into Naruto flesh.
Once the giant shuriken pierced hs back, some blood rushed out of his mouth, "Why? Why did you get in the way?" asked Mito as she looked at Naruto, she and Naruto had never talked for years, so she did understand why he saved her.
Naruto grinned, "Baka, we're family and nothing's gonna change that." said Naruto as he fell on his knees, Mito looked at Naruto and Mizuki before she did the only thing she could think to do, she ran away and hide behind a tree with the scroll.
Naruto took out the giant shuriken embedded into his back and threw it at Mizuki, Mizuki dodged the shuriken and joined down, " She's always ignored you, she gets all the praise and the attention while you get the glares and the mistreating. How is that fair for you? She's never done anything for you? How you can even stand her? She's the Kyuubi in disguise. She going to use that scroll to get stronger and then destroy Konoha." said Mizuki as he tried to turn Naruto against Mito. Meanwhile Mito listened to everything Mizuki and Naruto were talking bout.
Naruto looked at Mizuki, "It's true that she's never done anything for and it's true that she got all the attention and praise, and yeah she can be a pain in the butt..." said Naruto as Mito lowered her head in shame and Mizuki grinned thinking that he had turned Naruto against Mito.
Naruto looked at Mizuki defiantly, "... However she's my sister, I care about and I will always love her even if the feeling isn't mutual. The thing is that I chose to get the glares and the mistreations, it's my duty as her older brother to protect from her from the mistreations and the glares." said Naruto as he finished his speech, Mizuki was angry at Naruto for going against Mito and Mito widened her eyes as she felt respect and admiration for her brother.
Mizuki took out a kunai, "If that's how you feel then I'll kill you since you have no use for me." stated Mizuki as he walked towards Naruto with the kunai at hand but stopped to dodge a kunai that was headed towards him.
Mito stood in front of her brother, "I won't let you hurt my brother." said Mito as she stood defiantly between Naruto and Mizuki.
"Baka, what're you you doing? Get out! Go!" shouted Naruto as he tried to get Mito to leave, but she stood defiantly with her resolve as she refused to leave Naruto behind.
"Looks like I get kill the Kyuubi after all." stated Mizuki as he charged at Mito.
Mito made a cross with her both of her index and middle fingers, "Kage bunshin no jutsu." called Mito and suddenly there were hundreds of her surrounding Mizuki, Mizuki stopped charging and gulped as he looked at all of the clones. Without a second to waste, the clones all attacked and pummelled Mizuki into the ground as he cried for mercy.
All the clones dispelled, leaving a beat up Mizuki with bruise lying unconscious on the ground. Naruto got up with the help of Mito as they watch a group of Anbu appear and take Mizuki while Minato and Kushina rushed towards towards Mito and Naruto.
"Are you two all right?" asked Kushina as she checked Mito for any bruises or injuries.
"Yeah, we're fine." said Naruto as he got up slowly and walked towards home, Mito grabbed Naruto's shoulders.
"You're hurt."
"I'm fine." stated Naruto as he made a few handsigns and shunshined to home, not wanting to deal with them for today.
Naruto appeared in his house and was surprised to see that everyone was there, Naruto just ignored them and headed to his head room to rest. Naruto laid down on the bed when someon knocked on his door, "Who is it?" asked Naruto as he got up and sat at the side of is bed.
"It's me, Kiba." said Kiba as he continued to knock on the door, Naruto sighed before he walked up the door and opened it. Naruto saw Kiba with a smile on his face as he was carrying a box, that looked like a present.
Kiba handed it to Naruto with a smile on his face, Naruto decided to see what the present as he ripped the wrapping paper and opened the box to see the twin katanas that he wanted since a couple of years ago, "How did you know I wanted this?" asked Naruto with a smile on his face as he looked at the katanas with amazement.
"Well, sometimes when we go there to buy new kunais or shuriken, you always keep talking to the owner if you can buy the twin katanas in reserve and he always tells you that you have to be a official ninja first." said Kiba as he talked about the past.
Naruto looked at the gift and frowned, "I sorry I didn't get you a gift, I should have gotten you a gift." said Naruto as he felt bad for not getting Kiba a gift.
Kiba told him that it was all right and asked Naruto about the wound on his back, which prompted Naruto to tell Kiba about Mizuki and how he was a traitor. Naruto quickly took his shirt off and wore another shirt before he and Kiba headed downstairs.
Naruto and Kiba had a lot of fun as they played games with the other and they also ate a piece of the cake, they enjoyed the celebration until it was time to give gifts to each other, Mito and Sasuke got a pile of gifts while the other kids got some gifts. Naruto and Kiba got gifts from Hinata and Shimamaru, and Kiba gave them gifts as well. Naruto apologised to Shikamru and Hinata as he told them as he didn't have a gift for them and they told Naruto that it wasn't a big deal.
"Everyone, we would like to take this time announce that Mito is our heir and is the future clan head of the Namikaze and Uzumaki." stated Minato, to which many people celebrated while a few people, like Kiba and Hinata were wondering how Naruto was taking it but saw that he was nowhere to be seen.
Naruto was in his bedroom as he tried to calm himself down, "Naruto, I want you to summon me now. I got you a present." stated Ajax as he activated the mental link between him and Naruto.
Naruto decided to do so as he shunshined to the place where Mito defeated Mizuki and made a few handsigns before he slammed his hand down, "Kuchiyose no jutsu." called out Naruto as he summoned Ajax, Naruto looked at Ajax to see that he was injured with blood coming out of his wounds and Ajax was covered in bruises.
Naruto looked at Ajax, "What happened?" asked Naruto as he wondered why Ajax was so beat up, like Mizuki was a while ago.
"Here, it's a gift for graduating and for working hard." said Ajax as he took his hand from a wound, his moved his hand over Naruto and opened his hand to drop a box.
Naruto looked at Ajax then the box, Naruto carefully opened the box to see twenty crystals, the crystals separated into five crystals with different colours; bright red, blue, light green, brown and yellow. There was four of each crystals, "What are they?" asked Naruto as he stared at the crystals bedazzled.
"They're rare elemental Crystals with special properties as they make it easier for you to use elemental jutsus, they also increase the speed and strength of your elemental jutsus as they amplify your the power and speed of your chakra nature." stated Ajax, once Naruto heard what the crystals could do, he was even more bedazzled by them,
"Wow, thanks for this awesome gift." said Naruto as he thanked Ajax for the gift. He took the box of rare elemental crystals and carried for the time being as he planned to put it in his bag when he shunshined back.
"I am glad you like because getting it was not easy, so if you excuse, I'm gonna go rest." said Ajax as he poofed out of existence, leaving Natuto there standing with the box of crystals in his hands, Naruto decided to go back home as he shunshined into his bedroom.
Naruto walked to his bag and put his box of crystals inside the bag before he headed back downstairs and apologised to Kiba, Hinata and Shikamaru for leaving. Naruto sat down on a sofa as he watched the other people interact; Minato, the Uchiha clan head and the Hyuuga clan head we're talking to each other; Naruto also saw that other people were talking to each other, even the future clan heads while Sakura and Ino fought over Sasuke again.
Naruto sat on a sofa, Naruto was bored so he looked around and saw a book about the human body on the table next the sofa he was sitting, Naruto was bored and decided to pass his time by reading the book. He read the book and oddly enough, Naruto was intrigued by the book as he learned about the location of the heart and the other vital organs, like the kidney and liver.
While reading about the book, he had an idea: what if he created his own taijutsu stance and use the same concept as the Hyuuga and percisely hit the tenketsu points in a person. That was a great idea, all Naruto had to do was gain the knowledge of where the tenketsu points are located and figure out ways to join that with his own speed-based taijutsu. Naruto had a grin on his face as he decided to continue reading the book.
Naruto read the whole book and Naruto was pleased by the knowledge he gained from the book, Naruto looked up to see what time it was and saw that people were leaving. Naruto saw Kiba and walked towards him, "See ya tomorrow." said Naruto as he walked Kiba out and waved Kiba goodbye.
*Yawn*
A yawn escaped Naruto's as he grew tired and decided to go to asleep, he headed upstairs for the last time and entered his room. Naruto laid on his bed and dozed off into asleep as he didn't hear Minato calling his name.
Ajax laid there on his stomach as he licked his wounds, "Is it time for me?" as,ed a mysterious voice coming from the shadows in Ajax's cave.
"Soon but not yet."
"How much longer before I see him, I wish to see him again." stated the mysterious voice as it spoke about a person.
"You'll see him in about a week from now." stated Ajax before he went back to licking his wounds.
"Finally after all these years, I get to see my master again." spoke the mysterious voice in a excited tone.
Hope you enjoy, make sure to review.
That's all folks.
