Lord Pain: HELLO MY READER'S AND REVIEWER'S!!!
(Bows to the audience.)
Lord Pain: It's a pleasure to know that your enjoying my story. Sniff sniff... Really I'm touched.
Crow: Yes but that's not the point is it?
Lord Pain: Oh right. Alright to waste time today were interviewing the biggest perv's in all of Konoha. Starting off with the Legendary Gama Sannin Himself! JARAIYA!!!
Jaraiya: HELLO ALL YOU FOXY LADY'S!!!
(Several sharp pointed object's are flung at the white haired man. Lord Pain blinks then clears his throat.)
Lord Pain: Uhhh... Right. Anyway onto the interview Jaraiya. Tell us a little about Jaraiya.
Jaraiya: Ok. My name is Jaraiya the Gama Sannin. My likes include doing my research, and dumping on Orochimaru. My dislikes are any men hitting on me or being held away from my research. My hobby is more like my passion, and that is righting my Icha Icha series! My dream is for my book's to someday become a series of blockbuster movie's!!!
Lord Pain: Anything else Jaraiya?
Jaraiya: Hmmm... Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Besides being the Gama Sannin and Author of the Icha Icha Series. I am also the best dancer of all time!
Lord Pain: (Sweat drop's and walks away from Jaraiya as he then begins his dancing...) Next up is number two on the list. Axel Inuzuka come on down!
(A red haired ANBU in a Wolf mask suddenly appears and makes two peace sign's with his hand's.)
Axel: Whats up Konoha! I'm Axel Inuzuka, distant Cousin to Tsume Inuzuka and one of the best ANBU you'll ever meet! My likes are woman, Shizune, more Woman, and did I mention woman? I dislike it when I'm dragged away from woman by jerks like Naruto! My hobbies include spying on Shizune, and trying to get a date with her whenever I can! My dream is to someday figure out how to get Shizune to have a threesome with me and that totally hot Anko chick...
(With that Axel seems to drool...)
Lord Pain: (Deadpan expression and tone) You have Shizune and woman on the brain...
Axel: (Totally disregarding Lord Pain's remark.) Also my wife died during the Kyuubi attack but I can honestly say that the fox didn't do it. A found a trace amount of evidence that point's to some jackass attacking the clan's in the confusion and got him executed. That's why most of the clan's don't hate Naruto as much as the Civilians. Besides, calling him Kyuubi is like calling a scroll the Kunai it hold's.
Lord Pain: Right, next the third biggest Perv in Konoha. CROW KANJI HIMSELF!!!
Crow: Yo. My name, as you should know, is Crow Kanji in Konohagakure, or Iyoku Onizuka Heir to the Onizuka Clan secrets in Kirigakure. My likes are my Otouto, the Icha-Icha series, and... Well girls... My dislikes are bastard's who treat other's like their weapon's, and when my Vassal's call me Master, even though I've told them not to a million time's before. My hobbies are training with my sword, Tora or Dark Seed, and helping my Otouto whenever I can! My dream... Well that's not really anyone's business...
(Lord Pain nod's and motion's for him to continue.)
Crow: A lesser known thing about me is when I activated the third state of my Blood Cross Eye. It was actually by total accident a few week's after Naruto turned ten. I was working on one of the wall's of the Hotel, and I was concentrating so hard and yet kept so calm that all of a sudden my eye's changed and the wall repaired itself for me... However I don't like to over use it seeing as you never can really never tell when Chakra exhaustion will hit you...
Lord Pain: That's bull! You just like to show off to girl's while you work on the roof!
Crow: I'm neither confirming nor denying any such rumor's...
(Lord Pain rolls his eye's then smirk's.)
Lord Pain: And now last but not least. Kakashi Hatake, the fourth most perverted person in all of Konoha!
Kakashi: Yo... My name is Kakashi Hatake. My likes are my daughter and book's... My dislikes are anyone who steals or threaten's my book's... Hobbies... Dream's... Well... I have them...
Lord Pain: WE ALREDY KNEW THAT DAMMIT!!!
Kakashi: Sorry, but you never said we had to divulge new information to you...(Lord Pain mumbles about needing to dissect Kakashi...)
Kakashi: Something of interest about me is that I am currently one of the strongest ninja in all of Konoha. And that my usual Drinking buddies include, Asuma Sarutobi, Axel Inuzuka, Yamato, The original Ino-Shika-Cho triad, and on Occasion Crow Kanji and Hayate Gekkou...
Lord Pain: WHY THE HELL WOULD ANYONE CARE ABOUT YOU AND YOU DRINKING BUDDIES!!!
Kakashi: I don't know... But they might...
Lord Pain: Errrrrr... Never mind... Anyways you guy's next time we'll get to know Hinata, Ino, Crow's Sister Sango, and a surprise guest. So until then could all you perverts make with the disclaimer?
(The four perv's shrug while Jaraiya state's he's not a perv but a super mega perv!!!)
Jaraiya: Lord Pain doesn't own anything from the original Manga or Anime of Naruto.
Axel: He does own the OC's and the situation in this Fanfic however!
Crow: So don't try and sue, he needs all the money he can get his hand's on.
Kakashi: Now let's get on with the show...
Naruto Ultimate...

(Outside of Tazuna's house...)
Our favorite Team was currently sitting on the lawn out behind Tazuna's house. At the moment, Kakashi was sitting directly in front of Naruto, Sasuke to the Jounin's right and Sakura to his left. Sakura was looking at the New Naruto, Scrutinizing and comparing him to Sasuke in her mind. Sasuke was half furious that Naruto had been able to beat Haku when he couldn't, the other half was curious about why he looked so different. And Kakashi was just sick of all the secrets around the former blond now red-head. He was supposed to be his sensei for kami's sake and he kept THIS big a secret from him!
Currently Naruto was sweating bullet's as Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi all looked at him in his new or really his true form. Sasuke was, at the moment at least, wondering what the hell was up with the supposed Dead Last. To be able to hold some sort of Transformation Jutsu as long as he did seemed nigh impossible, even to him. Sakura was looking between the former blond and the Uchiha, trying to figure out which one was cuter than the other... It was actually more difficult than it should have been...
"Alright... Let's start with why you look like you do, why you were wearing that jutsu, and then what exactly was it?" Kakashi questioned and Naruto gulped. Crow was no help as he was asleep with someone named Sable hovering over him protecting him. Another person named Luna tending to his wound's... Yeah, right now he might be the one being interrogated but he was going to find out why his brother had those two following him...
"Well... I've always looked like this..." Naruto said and Sakura frowned.
"That's a lie Naruto! You had blond hair when you were little!" She shouted loudly and Naruto frowned.
"My... Parents... Placed a long term, near permanent jutsu on me that could even fool a Byakugan, it was to make me look less like my mother... She had a... Very unique hair color... At least in Konoha..." He stated and Kakashi's eye's narrowed. That was true, VERY few people in all of Konoha had that particular shade of red for their hair... But there was one person he knew of... No... It couldn't be... She was dead...
"So then you know who your parents are?" Sasuke questioned and Naruto sighed.
"Yes... But no I can't tell you who they are. You'll have to take that up with the Hokage." Naruto stated and Kakashi nodded promising to himself to do just that. "As for why I wore that Jutsu... Let's just say that looking like this would cause more problem's for me than are normal..." Naruto said and Kakashi inwardly nodded. With hair a color like that, he was sure Naruto would have had even MORE attacks on him... "As for the Jutsu I used to look like my blond self... Well... It's my own off shoot version of a jutsu of Crow's, which he calls the 'Chakra Shell Jutsu'. Basically his solidifies his chakra around his body so he can use it for a shield from any hand to hand attacks, and even some lesser Ninjutsu. However the version I use, is called the 'Optic Illusion Chakra Shell Jutsu' Or just the, 'Illusion Shell Jutsu', it basically combines the nature of a Transformation Jutsu with the Chakra shell to create a solid illusion most Doujutsu can't even see threw." Naruto explained and Kakashi hmmed.
That sounded like a fairly useful Jutsu. If Crow could teach it to Naruto, no matter how smart he really was, then he could teach it to just about anyone. And if that were the case, more Gennin could learn that Jutsu then use the chakra like shell around them for more defense and in that case less would be as wounded as they tended to be while on missions... They seriously need that kid teaching in the academy...
"Hmmm... Alright Naruto. What else were you holding back?" Kakashi questioned and Naruto sighed slumping as Kakashi questioned him further.
"Well... I've already created a few more Jutsu of my own... Two more of them are based after Crow's 'Chakra Shell Jutsu'. The first I think is a C-Rank. It's called the 'Chakra Shrapnel Jutsu', with this Jutsu you shatter the Chakra shell and send the Chakra shooting out like dagger's all around you or in a set direction. Then I use my, 'Chakra Field Jutsu', Combined with an element in order to make an elemental attack with a wide range of damage thanks to the Chakra Field being my chakra only more spread out." Naruto explained to Kakashi who nodded, becoming more and more impressed by the former blond by the minute. Sasuke on the other hand was nearly growling in rage but managed to restrain himself... Barely.
"Why do you know these Jutsu Dobe? That Crow guy unable to find anyone better to teach than you?" Sasuke questioned leaving out the 'Like me' from his statement but Naruto felt he would have said it to him but didn't want to seem to jellous... Prick...
"No. He found two other's to train but their going to be kept confidential. Originally I wasn't even going to reveal myself to anyone but when I fought with Haku-chan, my Chakra shell was under too much of a strain and fell apart..." Naruto said and Kakashi inwardly pondered if he should drag out who else had such a blatant advantage over the rest of the Gennin but decided that it was unimportant... Although he could talk to the Hokage about having Crow become a Teacher at the academy... With increased salary of course... After all, an Onizuka wasn't to be expected to just GIVE away any of their special attacks...
"Hmmm... Alright then. Naruto when we get back to Konoha I want a full report on your current skill. Have Crow help you if you have too but I need to know the current strength of my team and at the moment you might have too much strength to be counted as a Gennin, maybe even a Chunin..." Kakashi stated and Naruto shrugged. Sakura now openly gapped at her now red-haired team mate in surprise. Sasuke glared at Naruto in jealous indignation, but the red head simply looked innocent... Although he was cackling on the inside.
"Kakashi Sensei, seeing as Haku and Zabuza are no longer our enemies... Do you think we could bring them to Konoha with us?" Naruto then questioned and Kakashi took a thoughtful expression... While he was wary around Zabuza he knew that Crow would be adamant about Protecting Haku... And quite frankly he was in absolutely, no hurry to fight Crow over anything, anytime soon... Especially when he had those two bodyguards tailing him...
"I guess if they decide to come... Yes it would be alright." Naruto pumped his fist as he heard that then smiled making Sakura blush and then look between the two boy's again and Kakashi inwardly groaned. 'It's obvious why she can't decide... While before Naruto was short, loud, annoying, and overall not really attractive... The REAL Naruto is a handsome devil, with manor's, a sense of calm just floating around him, and a level head most Chunin don't have... Hmmm... I was right... I really need to recommend he go to the ANBU corp...' Kakashi thought to himself then sighed.
"What I miss...?" Came Crow's groaning voice as Luna and Sable helped their master walk out of the house, to sit next to Naruto. The two then sat back behind Crow their leg's folded beneath themselves. With those three there Kakashi narrowed his eye's on the black and white clothed ninja and then looked at Crow.
"Who are they?" Was all the Copy nin questioned and Crow sighed.
"Sable is the one in black, Luna in white..." He told them and Kakashi frowned.
"No. I mean why are they following you." Kakashi deadpanned and Crow groaned.
"Because it's a family Tradition in the Onizuka Clan, that every new heir has to have two bodyguard's. One for combat and distraction, always named Sable, and one for defense and healing, always named Luna." Crow explained and Kakashi raised a brow.
"And how exactly do they always have those particular name's?" He questioned of the masked boy who was silent for a good while before answering.
"Because... There memories are stripped and blocked by the clan head. Then their bodies are altered into something... Not human..." Crow stated his eye's looking to the ground and Kakashi shuddered. What kind of sick monster did Crow have for a father?! Let alone a family full of them!
"But they look perfectly human to me..." Sakura then said and Sable chuckled heartlessly. Kakashi narrowed his eye's on the black leather bound nin... That voice...
"That's only because you haven't seen UNDER these bandage's yet..." He stated and Luna silently nodded her head in agreement to her own team mate's words.
"Hmmm... So how long have they been following us?" Kakashi questioned and saw a smirk in Crow's eye's.
"Ever since we left Konoha." He stated and Kakashi groaned while Sasuke and Sakura gawked.
"You mean you had two highly trained and officiant Ninja just skulking around in the shadow's when we needed help?! What are you crazy?!" Sakura demanded and Crow's looked at her for a moment then rolled his eye's.
"No. It's just that I don't like making them fight anymore... Most Heir's to the family 'DISPOSE' of their Luna and Sable as soon as they hit thirteen... I just want to try and fix them so they can go back to their normal human lives." Crow stated and Kakashi nodded his head.
"That's a dumb reason to keep them back when your being annihilated by Zabuza..." Sasuke deadpanned and Crow glared at the boy.
"Master didn't wish for us to interfere... He was sure that the Jounin could handle the mission... Our only mission was to find out Gato's plan and to... Acquire his wealth..." Luna said and once again Kakashi could almost swear he'd heard that girl's voice before...
"So that's ware his loot went..." Came Zabuza's voice as he walked out of Tazuna's house Haku beside him and the two sat down next to Crow on the right. "Not bad... But what did you do with it?" He then questioned and Crow chuckled.
"I had Luna deliver three quarter's of it to the Daimiyo of the Wave Country, while I kept one quarter of it as pay for this high ranking mission." Crow stated and Kakashi blinked then nodded his head.
"Good idea... But you do know that would still be a very sizable amount... How are you carrying it all?" He questioned and could almost hear the grin in Crow's voice.
"Seal's." Was all he had to say as Naruto rolled his eye's.
"Niisan is also a master of seal's besides being an excellent teacher. He even made the 'Restriction Seal's' me and his other student's usually wear." Naruto stated and Crow gave him a look... Then shrugged his shoulder's and looked at Kakashi.
"Restriction Seal's? What is that, some way of restricting your Chakra?" Kakashi questioned and Crow laughed.
"No. The restriction seal was an amazing little Seal I made when we couldn't use weight's or gravity seal's for fear of my student's muscle's breaking down. The seal itself is designed not to weigh you down, but rather to act like your body is surrounded in water." Crow explained and Kakashi's eye's widened.
"So instead of tearing muscle's and aching pain's, a Gennin could gain strength much quicker without the risk's. Because Water only restricts movement's, impairing it without putting a strain on the muscle's. Thus by using such a seal your constantly building your muscle's up... Absolutely brilliant..." Kakashi said to Crow who shrugged his shoulder's.
"I try." He said and Kakashi nodded his head slowly in amazement, while Sasuke's frown deepened into a scowl.
"Why do you give the dobe all of this? Why not someone who needs that power?" Sasuke questioned and Crow frowned his eye's darkening.
"I didn't give him that power. He earned it. Just like my other student's had to work hard and that's why they got what they did, nothing more." Crow stated to Sasuke who grunted and looked to Kakashi.
"Are you done interrogating these two?" He asked annoyed and Kakashi was silent for a few moment's before he then looked at Naruto.
"What style Taijutsu do you use?" He questioned and Naruto sighed.
"Offensive, Bloody Claw, Defensive, Steel Claw, Balanced, Demonic Claw..." He stated and Kakashi's eye's widened.
"Sensei... I've never heard of those style's before." Sakura questioned and Kakashi nodded his head.
"You wouldn't have... They only appeared about four year's ago and even then only the Steel Claw style... The other two are almost a myth... How did you learn them all Naruto? There probably more dangerous than most people think and Gai has been searching Konoha high and low for someone who knows those style's..." Kakashi stated and Naruto tilted his head slightly at the unfamiliar name before shrugging.
"It helps when you live with the guy who made the style's in the first place..." Naruto stated with a smirk and Kakashi and Zabuza both gapped.
"Iyoku... I've said it before and I'll say it again... You never seace to amaze..." Zabuza stated and Crow eye smiled nodding his head. Kakashi however was pondering this in his head also. Obviously the style's that Naruto Used were VASTLY inferior to Crow's as he was sure the older boy wouldn't make him into a copy of himself... Which would mean that the style's Crow DID teach him were more for Naruto to start off with and improve so he could make his own style while Crow kept his secret... What was that kid a super genius?!!
"Lord Iyoku always was the 'Number One Most Surprising Kid' in all of Kirigakure no Sato, Zabuza-sama." Haku said with a fond smile and Crow nodded his head.
"I remember that... My sister started it and then everyone else started to call me that..." He said and Kakashi's eye twitched... That explained... ALOT... No wonder Naruto became the number one most unpredictable ninja in all of Konoha... He had a role model who was the same fucking way for Kami's sake!
"Alright then. Does anyone have any clue's about Naruto's Kekkei-Genkai?" Kakashi then questioned and even Naruto didn't seem to know. 'That's to be considered. After all he may know WHO his parent's were but not what they could do...' He mused and then Crow looked thoughtful for a little bit.
"Did anyone happen to get a good look at his eye's... I might know something about them from my travels..." Crow stated and Kakashi was already getting used to the teen finding way's to do thing's no NIN could... Let alone a Civilian... The brat could probably be Jounin if not ANBU if he wanted... At least as far as his information gathering skill's went he could...
"I did Lord Iyoku." Haku stated and Crow groaned at the name, but then nodded to her. "The iris turned silver with a three pointed star for the pupil, black in color, three blue tomoe were around the pupil, the point's of the pupil pointed in between the tomoe. The tomoe in the left eye pointed in a clock-wise pattern, while they were counter clock-wise in the right..." She explained and Crow seemed thoughtful... "Also Lord Iyoku, I must add that while in use the Tomoe and Star would spin in the direction they pointed and that he could..." Haku was silent at that shivering and Crow became intrigued.
"Yes Haku, he could do what?" Crow prodded and received a glare from Zabuza, of course he totally ignored it as Haku then looked at Naruto who was looking to the sky.
"He looked into my eye's... And saw my soul... He said he saw my whole life flash by... It was... Frightening..." She explained and Crow's eye's took a distant look as he sat back and then closed his own eye's. Crow was silent for a little bit before laughing, slowly at first but soon it started to increase in volume and he fell down onto his back laughing.
"Uhhh. What's wrong with him?" Sakura questioned and Naruto shrugged, he gave up trying to figure that out when he was ten...
"Wrong? Nothing!" Crow then exclaimed before grabbing Naruto by the shoulder's. "Naruto mold Chakra into your eye's I HAVE to be sure!" He suddenly said excitably and Naruto blinked but complied. He focused some chakra into his eye's and could see something in Crow's eye's while a voice appeared in the back of his head... 'Judgment... Not guilty...' It said and Naruto shivered despite himself. "It is! Its the fucking Kamigan/Gods Eye! You actually have the Legendary Kamigan!" Crow exclaimed and Zabuza quickly went to look AT Naruto's eye's, not looking into them directly.
"Shit it is..." Zabuza said before looking at Kakashi. "Do you have ANY idea what this is?!" He demanded and Kakashi shook his head no. "This is one of THE most powerful Bloodline's in existence!" Zabuza stated as Crow then released Naruto and nodded his head furiously. Meanwhile the red-head they were currently making a fuss over, was actually sick of not having any clue about what was going on.
"What the hell is a Kamigan?!" He demanded and Crow and Zabuza blinked.
"Right sorry, it was once well known to most ANBU, Hunter nin, and Police as the 'Eye of Judgment'." Crow stated and Kakashi shivered.
"Now THAT I've heard of... It alone made any Nin who possessed it into an A to S-class threat..." Kakashi said then shivered looking at Naruto's eyes.
"What is it already?" Sasuke questioned angrily and with a frown making Crow grin.
"The Kamigan, otherwise know as the 'All-seeing Eye', or sometimes the 'Eye of Justice', is one of the most feared Doujutsu in all of the known Shinobi Nation's!" Crow stated with a large grin on his face.
"Why is that? And why does it have so many nick-name's?" Sakura asked the older and somehow excitable boy. Truthfully, she thought that the 'Kamigan' looked pretty, and she even preferred it to the Uchiha's 'Sharingan' as they made her feel uneasy... The Kamigan on the other hand as far as she could tell made her feel totally relaxed and safe.
"Well Sakura. The 'Kamigan'(Gods Eye) is a Doujutsu that originated in the Land of Whirlpool, it was like their equivalent to the 'Sharingan'(Mirror Wheel Eye) or maybe even the 'Byakugan'(White/Evil Eye). But to make it simple, the Kamigan was the most Feared Doujutsu in it's age for multiple reason's..." Crow stated and Zabuza nodded his own head.
"However, now is not the time to be talking of such thing's. We should leave to reach Konoha and then speak with your Hokage before we do anything else in regard to the kid's Kekkei-Genkai..." Zabuza stated seriously Kakashi nodded while Crow grinned evilly beneath his mask, before he then rubbed his hand's together...
"Ohhh... I can't wait to see what your eye's do when we get to Konoha. I'd say more than half the village will be put under a 'Penance Stare' before Vengeance is satisfied..." Crow said evilly and Kakashi paled... Naruto lifted a brow wondering what the hell, his brother was talking about.
"Anyways, release the chakra from your eye's Naruto. We need to get some sleep for now. Not only to digest all this but cause we need to help finish the bridge so we can go home... Oh, and before I forget, would you like to come to Konoha with us Zabuza?" Kakashi questioned as Naruto did as told his eye's returning to their natural sky blue, and the nuke-nin nodded his head.
"Might as well... Besides, I think thing's with you guy's are just going to get more and more interesting in the future..." Zabuza said the grin in his voice all too present as the nin all got up and walked inside of Tsunami's home to get some rest... But a dark figure was sitting on the roof of the house... Pitch black, soulless eyes, that held no trace of light or humanity stared down ware the group had been... Only the rattling of chain's could be heard as it vanished into nothing leaving not even a slight trace of itself behind...
--------------------
(Two Week's and an exhausting amount of work later...)
Team Seven and company was all packed up and ready to get back on the road. They had managed to finish the bridge thanks to some liberal use of Shadow Clones, and Crow's own Kekkei-Genkai, the Blood Cross Eye. They were now saying good bye to Tazuna, Tsunami, Inari. "Thanks to all of you, our bridge has finally been completed, but... It's going to be awfully dull around here, once your gone." Tazuna said to the group of nin and one civilian and his Vassals.
"We've enjoyed your hospitality Tazuna. But we really must be heading home to give our report to the Hokage." Kakashi told the old man and Naruto smirked.
"But hey, don't worry We'll come back and visit you sometime soon old man." He said and a nearly crying Inari sniffed.
"You better... Aw..." He sniffed again and Naruto shook his head as he saw tear's welling in his eye's.
"Inari... Don't let it get you down." He said with a calm tone to the young boy. "It's okay to cry if you really want to." He said to the boy who sniffed again before glaring at Naruto.
"I'M NOT GONNA CRY!!! B-BUT NARUTO... HEY NIISAN... Y-YOU CAN CRY! GO AHEAD!" The little boy shouted and Naruto smirked turning his back to the kid.
"Me? No way." Naruto said seriously and both Sakura and Haku couldn't hold back a smile as they saw a single trail of tear's fall from his left eye, as Inari broke down into a tearful mess, snot going down his chin. As the group left the land of waves Tazuna suddenly got an idea and grinned.
"That boy touched little Inari's heart... And in turn, Inari touched the Hearts of all the people in the village... Naruto built the bridge that eventually carried our hearts to hope and courage..." Tazuna said as Inari cried watching the Ninja leave. "And speaking of bridges, we still have to officially dedicate this one... And there's only one name that will truly fit." Tazuna said as one of his worker's looked at him from the side.
"And what name is that?" He questioned and Tazuna grinned.
"How about... The Great Naruto Uzumaki Bridge... In honor of the boy who gave our village the will to fight and stand up for ourselves once again!" Tazuna said and gained the approval of everyone present, especially little Inari...
--------------------
(Konohagakure No Sato, Hokage's office...)
"Hey old man, were back!" Naruto called out with a smirk walking into the Hokage's office and the old man let out a sigh.
"Naruto... What happened to you this time?" He asked barely surprised by the former blonde's change when Crow walked in.
"This is his real form Lord Hokage. The one that... Yondaime sealed to protect him from his families enemies." Crow informed and the old man winced as he realized the two knew who Yondaime really was... Soon, Kakashi entered along with Zabuza and Haku, the rest of team seven and Luna and Sable no ware in sight. Sasuke and Sakura had been told to go home once they had gotten back to Konoha. Luna and Sable had both gone to the hotel that the two boy's they were guarding lived in.
"Lord Hokage, the mission to protect Tazuna the bridge builder was a success. As a side note, we have a missing nin requesting to join our village, and both Sasuke and Naruto have each awakened a blood line." Kakashi informed and Sarutobi raised a brow and looked at the red haired jinchuriki. He then looked at Zabuza and smirked.
"I take it you are the nin?" He questioned and Zabuza nodded. Sarutobi then took a thoughtful look before smirking. "Zabuza Momochi, you may join the leaf under the condition that you must answer directly to me, and stay in a probational period for the next three month's. After which you will be allowed free reighn to do as you please." Sarutobi said with a smile then reached into one of his desk's drawers and pulled out some sort of form and quickly filled in some of the part's. "Take this and fill in the rest. Then go to my secretary outside, she will assist you further. Also you will be staying with Crow and Naruto." Sarutobi explained and Zabuza shrugged walking out the door.
"Lord Hokage, I am Haku, and I would like to become a medic and personally tend to Naruto, Zabuza Sama and Lord Iyoku... I mean Crow in their home." Haku said politely as the Hokage raised a brow when he heard what Haku called Crow. 'Must be his real name... But LORD... Who is that boy...'
"Very Well Haku. That is reasonable. And seeing as Naruto and Crow are working on fixing up their hotel. I'll register you as a permanent health inspector of sort's. Besides I know of numerous people who might enjoy staying at a hotel with a medic on staff." Sarutobi said smiling while Crow muttered about the work he still had to do in fixing up the old Hotel. Sarutobi then reached back into his desk and pulled yet another form out and filled in a few place's. "Here, finish this and have Kakashi take you to the hospital Haku. Someone there will be given the task of teaching you medical Jutsu." Sarutobi stated and Haku nodded walking over to Kakashi who shrugged before leaving with her.
Sarutobi's face then turned into the living incarnation of seriousness it seemed as he looked to the two boy's, Naruto especially and then told him simply. "Show me Naruto..." He stated his voice calm and collected. Naruto nodded and closed his eyes, focusing Chakra into them before opening them to show the Kamigan gazing at the aging leader. "Justice... Will be served to the fools in this village..." Hissed a voice in Naruto's mind and he blinked not alerting the Hokage about the voice. "So then he awoke the Kamigan after all..." Sarutobi said while scratching his chin thoughtfully. Crow nodded his head and started to laugh evilly making Sarutobi shiver in fear of Crow's notorious sadistic tendencies among some of the low class ruffian's of Konoha that attacked Naruto... Or rather used to attack him...
"Uhhh... Niisan calm down..." Naruto said with wide eye's before Crow blinked then grinned widely nodding his head. "Good... So Old man what does this thing do anyways?" Naruto questioned and Sarutobi leaned back in his chair and took a puff of his pipe blowing smoke out of the side of his mouth before closing his eye's deep in thought.
"The Kamigan or 'Gods Eye', is one of the more notable Kekkei-Genkai's from the former Land of Whirlpool. The eye's are nothing like the Sharingan or the Byakugan, even though they are compared to them." He said and then looked at Naruto seriously and the red haired boy took a serious face also. "The Kamigan has two nickname's. The 'All-Seeing Eye', and The 'Eye of Justice'. These name's came from the properties of what the eye's could do." Sarutobi said then took a deep puff from his pipe.
"Alright so what do they DO? What makes these eye's so god damn powerful?" Naruto questioned annoyedly his arm's crossed and Sarutobi smirked despite himself.
"Alright Naruto, I'm sure Crow already knows, after all his mother was from Whirlpool so she would have had more info on it than most." Sarutobi said looking to Crow who nodded his head with an eye smile. "Right then he can correct me on anything I may get wrong." Sarutobi stated then sat up and put his pipe down, lacing his finger's together on his desk. "The Kamigan had several abilities that put it on par with the Sharingan and the Byakugan. The first was called 'Aura Sight', or the ability to judge a person's intention's or personality. Aura sight allows you to see an extension of a person's soul, so when you see a calm 'Aura' around someone with the Kamigan, your seeing their mood. This can lead to be helpful in battle as frustration make the 'aura' flail wildly, and then if it's one who is sad, the 'aura' will undoubtedly be more sullen, less visible." Sarutobi explained and Crow nodded his head.
"Wait. Old man how do you know what this 'Aura' thing would look like?" Naruto questioned and Sarutobi chuckled.
"One of the former Kage's of Whirlpool had the Kamigan. He explained it's function's to me as a show of good faith when our two nation's formed an alliance. I never regretted that decision and I still don't to this day." The old Hokage explained and Naruto blinked then motioned for him to go on. "Alright, impatient today, eh Naruto." Sarutobi stated and Naruto frowned. "Next is the 'Life Vision', This abilitie supposedly allows the user of the Kamigan to see threw the eye's of the intended 'Victem' and see their intire life and all the good and bad they have ever done. This ability is linked to a being that has undoubtedly formed in your mind already Naruto..." Sarutobi said and Crow sighed.
"I'll tell him about that." Crow said and Naruto tilted his head slightly to his brother who schooled himself into a serious face. "The Kamigan, while undoubtedly useful, has only one draw back..." Crow said then crossed his arm's. "The Kamigan has so much power that the human mind isn't able to control it all. In the end it takes a similar route to the Kurama clan's 'Living Illusion' Kekkei-Genkai, which will make a split personaility, one to use, one to manage the power." Crow explained and Naruto nodded his head. "However there is a VAST difference between the two. While with the Kurama's split personality they usually end up going mad. With the Kamigan you gain a 'Spirit of Vengeance' If you want. A living creature in your soul and mind that's only purpose is to control the power of the Kamigan and then use you to bring Justice to the wicked of the world." Crow explained and Naruto's eye's widened.
"So... I have not only the Kyuubi, but some warped Spirit of Vengeance living inside of me?!" Naruto demanded and Crow and Sarutobi both nodded. The boy then lifted his hands into the air muttering, wonderful, sarcastically and covering his face. Sarutobi was silent for all of one minute before sighing and breaking it.
"Next Naruto are the last two abilities of the Kamigan. 'Pains Pulse', and the 'Penance Stare'..." Sarutobi said gravely and Naruto paled slowly removing his hand's from his face and looking at the old man.
"Why do I have the feeling I'm not going to like this?" He questioned softly and Sarutobi took another puff of his pipe and eyed Naruto.
"You won't probably... 'Pains Pulse' Is a VERY dangerous ability in your hand's Naruto. It takes all the pain a person has ever experienced and then fling's it into their victim, usually this will end with insanity or death. The ability is a weaker version of the next power. The feared, 'Penance Stare'..." Sarutobi's voice suddenly became as cold as ice and Naruto turned his full attention to him. "When the Spirit of Vengeance inside of you awakens Naruto. He will seek out evil, find it with the 'Aura Sight', then he will judge the person... By using the 'Life Vision', Ability to see their soul and past... Should their soul be truly stained with innocent blood, without good reason. Then the Spirit will force that person to endure the pain they caused, only threw their victim's eye's... And times TEN..." Sarutobi said with a grim look and Naruto's eye's widened in fear. "Yes, the power of the 'Stare' can be overwhelming Naruto... No one has ever gotten away from the 'Penance Stare'... They all fall into insanity or death before hand..." Sarutobi explained and Crow nodded his head shakily.
"That's... That's brutal... Yet... Oddly it sound's satisfying at the same time..." Naruto said and the aging Hokage sighed.
"The Kamigan's only true power is to bring Justice Naruto. The Spirit of Vengeance knows who does and doesn't truly deserve to be punished... They will also help protect you in the future." Sarutobi said and then added on a much less grave note. "With the Aura Sight that the eye's allow you'll be able to tell if a person is lying to you or not by reading the aura." He stated and Naruto was oddly silent, his mind deep in thought.
"Old man... What if someone tried to steal my eye's like they do with the Byakugan?" He questioned and Sarutobi winced.
"That can't happen. The Spirit of Vengeance inside of you is not apart of the eye's. Without it the eye's would destroy anyone using them... As such the clan who held those eye's, the Uzumaki of Whirlpool, all were nearly destroyed. They fled among the Shinobi Nation's and thus far only you have ever activated the gift Naruto... Of course I don't know if any of the other's are even alive or have had children for that matter..." Sarutobi said then muttered. This news made Naruto release a sigh of relief and then smile to the aging Hokage.
"Thanks old man. I feel a lot better now..." He said and Sarutobi smiled to his surrogate Grandson fondly.
"No problem Naruto. If something else should come up please feel free to come see me." Sarutobi told him with his eye's raised into upside down U's. Naruto rolled his eye's before releasing the chakra from them before Turning to Crow. "Hold on. Let Crow stay here Naruto... I have a few question's of my own for him..." Sarutobi said and Naruto nodded taking one last look at Crow before walking out of the Hokage's office...
--------------------
The group had all returned nearly a week ago today, Crow, Luna, and Sable had all stayed out of the Ninja business and were either training Naruto, Hinata, and Ino, or working on the hotel to get it up and ready in a few more month's. Naruto had decided it was pointless to put his disguise back up and Kakashi and the Hokage both readily agreed with him... Besides now no one recognized him as the "Demon Brat".
Iruka and his other close friend's were all informed of his appearance change though most if not all of the villager's were left out of the loop and Konohamaru almost didn't believe it. Until he saw his 'Boss' for himself and said that it didn't matter what he looked like, that he was going to beat his rival to become Hokage. But everyone also heard him mutter about Naruto looking cool now. Team Seven had been on a few more mission's but they were mostly D-rank's again, much to Naruto's obvious displeasure...
However, Naruto was currently walking down the street's, not a single person seeming to realize who he was and it was making the former blond smile. He stopped looking at his reflection then to an old man who waved to him and waved back with a smirk. 'It's good to be anonymous...' He thought to himself then felt a pair of hand's cover his eye's.
"Long time no see Naruto, love the hair..." Came Kisara's voice and Naruto blinked before grinning widely.
"So your dad told you huh?" He questioned and she nodded. As she removed her hand's from his eye's Naruto turned to see her looking at him with a thoughtful expression. Her left arm was level across her stomach, while her right elbow was in her hand and she had the palm of her right hand on her cheek. She looked him over once then circled him and then, hmmmed, before finally eye smiling.
"Not bad. You really didn't need to hide though, I highly doubt the fox was that cute... At least from what I can tell from all the picture's of it..." Kisara said and Naruto's jaw dropped. "What? You think I'm a ninja for nothing? I'm not dumb Naruto, all the glares and mutterings of demon brat. You were born on the same day as the attack, and not to mention those whisker scar's of your's and the prank's..." Kisara told him and he frowned.
"You are by FAR the best Kunoichi I have ever met..." He deadpanned and the silver haired girl shrugged her shoulder's. "But what brings you out here?" The red-haired Jinchuuriki questioned and Kisara eye smiled again.
"Well... Besides finally dragging that fox secret out of you, I wanted to see that Kamigan of your's." She said and Naruto shrugged before focusing chakra into his eye's. Almost instantly the Kamigan was blaring at her and she looked at them, her arm's in their former position's... "Hmmm..." She said thoughtfully.
"Well?" Naruto questioned and she tilted her head to look behind him.
"Why is there a square rock with hole's in it behind you?" She questioned simply with a hint of amusement in her voice, and Naruto blinked and looked behind him too see the said square rock and groaned.
"Hey, Konohamaru who do you think your fooling with that lame disguise? Rock's don't have perfectly smooth angle's and corner's, not to mention big eye hole's..." Naruto stated his arm's crossed and with a large plume of smoke the box vanished and three kid's appeared from the smoke...
"Leave it to the man I have acknowledged as being almost my equal! Your skill's rival almost my own." Konohamaru said with his arm's crossed and Naruto blinked seeing his two friend beside of him.
Konohamaru was first only now instead of a strange hat he had goggles on around his head like Naruto used to. Next to the brown haired boy's left was a girl with her ginger hair pulled into a pair of high pigtails, a pair of goggles on like Konohamaru had. A small blush on her cheek's, a dark red sleeveless shirt over a pink short sleeve one that reached below her waist. A long dark red scarf falling down her neck and back to her ankle's, a pair of light brown shinobi shorts, and a pair of blue Shinobi sandals that had an open instep. Her name was Moegi and she seemed to have a bit of a crush on Naruto.
Beside Konohamaru to the right was a boy. He had brown hair in a bowel cut with goggles on his head also, glasses hanging on his nose. A pit of snot was hanging down his nose and he seemed to have a bit of a lazy/bored look to his face. He had a dark blue shirt with a white collar and stripe down the front on with a pair of light brown shinobi shorts and some blue Shinobi sandals. This was Udon, the kid was smart but was also a bit lazy at time's and could remind Naruto of Shikamaru.
"uhhhh... What's up with the Goggles?" Naruto questioned moving his hand's behind his head. The three didn't answer and instead looked at Naruto's still blaring Kamigan with interest and Naruto felt that stupid voice in the back of his mind speak again. "Innocents... Protect..." It told him simply and he nearly groaned in annoyance. That damn voice was beginning to become a nuisance, every time he passed someone it screamed for them to be punished for what they did to him when he was a child... He really needed to try and figure out a way to tune it out or it was gonna drive him crazy...
"Heh heh heh! You're our idol, right? Were copying the style you used to wear!" Konohamaru said with a large smile adjusting the goggles on his forehead some. Naruto rolled his eye's with a smirk on his face.
"Ohhh... Okay..." He said and Konohamaru frowned.
"What do you mean "Okay?" Suddenly to cool for school, big guy?!" Konohamaru demanded of Naruto pointing at him accusingly and the red head grinned.
"What do you guy's want anyway?" He questioned and Moegi happily answered him.
"We'll show you, Boss! Can you come now?" The little girl said then questioned while Konohamaru was convinced their boss was looking down on them. Naruto took a thoughtful expression... On one hand the voice in his head was saying he should, that Children are innocent and it would be easier to protect them if he were nearby. He figured if he did that though the voice might, and that's a pretty big might, shut up and leave him the hell alone. On the other hand, he wanted to go train or hang out with Kisara. Which would also be nice as he hadn't seen her in almost a month. However, that voice would probably yell and scream at him to go off with the three no matter what the consequences...
"Hmmm... Sorry, can't I need to train." He said and Moegi pouted and Konohamaru growled pointing a finger at the red head.
"But... But you promised to play Ninja with us!!! RIGHT?" Konohamaru exclaimed and Naruto blinked then grinned sheepishly.
"Heh heh... Oh yeah... That was today..." He muttered while he thought to himself. 'Damnit, If I play with them, even a little, I'll never get any training done before tonight...' He thought with some slight annoyance as then Kisara looked over his shoulder to the three kid's.
"And who might those three be, Naruto?" She questioned and Konohamaru came forward and looked at the silver haired girl.
"Hey, Big Guy, who's the babe?" Konohamaru questioned and Kisara raised a brow.
"Uhhh... This is Kisara Hatake, a friend of mine." Naruto said and Konohamaru took a thoughtful expression then grinned and walked over to Naruto. Naruto blinked then looked down on the little boy as he pulled on his sleeve.
"Hey, Big Guy, seeing as how you're so smart and suave and all..." Konohamaru said and Naruto blinked still very confused although the voice was gone as he stopped sending Chakra to his eye's and they returned to there normal blue hue. "The Hottie... I can tell... You and she are..." With that Konohamaru held up his pinky finger and Naruto sputtered.
"What!!? No! We... We're just good friend's is all!" Naruto said blushing wildly and Kisara giggled as she saw him and he almost blended in with his hair. Konohamaru then looked really confused and started to scratch his head before then looking at Naruto with only one eye open.
"Why not Boss? She's really, really pretty after all. A lot more so than that board browed fire breathing girl... Sakura, wait... Is she even female boss?" Konohamaru questioned and Naruto paled while looking behind Konohamaru to see the said pink haired girl cracking her knuckle's. Kisara scooted over to the side with equally wide eye's, she'd made the mistake of getting between Sakura and something that angered her once before... It was something she never wanted to experience ever again...
"Konohamaru..." Naruto said calmly and the boy looked to ware Naruto was looking and paled. "RUN!!!" Naruto shouted and the boy took off an Irate Sakura after him chasing the poor dumb kid around a corner ware he heard a thud. "Should we make sure he'd breathing?" Naruto questioned looking to the rest of the Konohamaru Crew and Kisara, they all nodded and the group ran to make sure Sakura wasn't put in jail or sent to Ibiki for murdering the Hokage's grandson.
Instead they found some guy holding Konohamaru by his scarf the kid's feet dangling off the ground and Naruto frowned. The guy was in what looked like Cat Pajama's with a symbol on his chest, face paint, black shinobi Sandals, and a mummy on his back. Beside him was a girl with her blond hair in four pig-tails, with sea foam colored eye's, a pink dress that didn't cover her shoulder's and rid up high on her left leg, Fishnet under her dress covering her shoulder's and upper chest, her left thigh, arms, and her right shin, her Sand Hittai-Ate tied around her neck, a white sash around her waist, blue Shinobi sandals, and a large fan on her back.
"PROTECT HIM!!!" The voice in Naruto's Head demanded and Naruto felt his Kamigan activate. "Hey! Put him down..." Naruto shouted to the two Suna-nin and the girl smirked. 'He's kinda cute...' She thought but her brother scoffed and looked at Naruto with a Smirk, flinching for a second as he reminded him of someone else...
"I just want to play with him a little... While we're waiting for the nuisance to get here!" The older teen said and Konahamaru yelped as he was lifted up by his neck. Naruto frowned and ran forward towards the two. The boy saw him and moved his finger's. Naruto saw several glowing ribbon's head towards him and jumped up spinning sideway's and evading the ribbon's grasp landing and continuing towards the boy who looked surprised.
The blade's disengaged from the side's of Naruto's gauntlet's and he stopped just short of slicing the boy's head off. Naruto turned his Kamigan eye's to glare at the boy who gulped. "Drop him, NOW!" Naruto demanded and the boy did so quickly Konohamaru landing on his butt. The boy then quickly got up and ran over to his friend's while Sakura noticed that the two were foreigners from Suna.
"H-how did you dodge that?!" Kankuro questioned, shocked, amazed, and slightly afraid with the cold steel of Naruto's blade pressed to his throat. Naruto simply let out a short little chuckle, his inner spirit told him what to say and he decided that it sounded cool.
"My eye's shall always see, what normal men can only hope to dream of..." He said with a smirk. The boy that had Naruto's blade at his throat however, was currently sweating bullet's and gulped to himself as Naruto then looked to the girl. "You're 'Pet' here is very rowdy... I'd suggest getting a leash for him..." Naruto said in a deadpan and the girl fought back laughter at the insult. The boy himself glared at Naruto as he removed his blade from the boy's throat with a smirk. 'That was pretty cool...' The girl thought snickering in her head at the comment of her little brother being her pet.
"Brat, don't stick you're nose ware it don't belong!" The boy said pulling the mummy off his back and the girl's eye's widened.
"Tell me you're not planning on using Karasu?" She questioned and the boy ignored her. Sasuke was watching the exchange from a nearby tree, however his eye's widened as he heard a voice come from behind himself.
"Kankuro, Don't..." The voice said and everyone turned to the owner of the voice. He had the same shade of red hair as Naruto, only it was shorter and more closely resembled fur, a red scar/tattoo on his forehead that said love and no eyebrows, black ring's around his sea foam colored eye's, a black outfit that had fishnet under it, white band's and a brown holster around his upper body, the brown holster holding up an enormous gourd of some kind, his Hittai-Ate was wrapped around one of the strap's of his holster, his pants were tapped off at his shin's, and he wore black Shinobi sandals with white wrapping's around his left foot. Naruto's eye's widened as his 'Aura Sight' was looking at this boy who was standing upside down on a tree branch for some reason. Over the little time he'd used it he had made a few discovery's. One, everyone's Aura was almost identical in color save for a few rare cases, and even then it was all just varying shade's of blue, or in Crow's case Silver. This guy on the other hand had a Dark Yellow aura, and it was moving around shaping into something that vaguely resembled a raccoon or something else of that variety...
"Ga... Gaara..." The boy, Kankuro said in a small voice and Naruto frowned.
"You're a disgrace to our entire village." The other red-head said and Naruto glared at him. His inner spirit going crazy as he looked at Gaara. 'He... He snuck up behind me... I didn't even have a clue...' Sasuke thought to himself looking at the other red head who had turned all of his attention on our former blond hero. 'His stealth skills rival Kakashi's.' Sasuke thought to himself with a frown on his face. "It annoys me that you'd lose control in such a foolish quarrel... Have you forgotten why we came here?" The red-head questioned of the black suited teen and he shook his head no quickly.
"No of course not! But they started it, the little kid slammed into me and..." Before Kankuro could continue Gaara narrowed his eye's on the fool.
"Shut up... Or I'll kill you." Gaara threatened, making Kankuro shiver in fear and Naruto's eye's widened. Judging by the movement's of his aura, Naruto could tell he was indeed agitated... But he wasn't lying... He really WOULD kill him if he spoke up and got out of line again...
"You're right. I was out of line." Kankuro said backing up and the girl started to sweat also before speaking to Gaara herself.
"We're Sorry... Okay, Gaara?" Temari said while mumbling something that Naruto didn't quite catch but sounded like, 'Really, REALY, Sorry...' Sasuke glanced at Gaara as the boy stood their and he frowned. 'So he's in charge, eh? He glares like a Basilisk...' Sasuke thought to himself as Gaara vanished in a swirl of leaves only to reappear in front of Naruto.
"Sorry about them..." He stated coldly to Naruto who frowned. Gaara then glanced to his right side to glare at a still fearful Kankuro. "I know we're a little early... But we didn't come here to play around." Gaara said to the boy with a hostile look... Although that seemed to be the only look he had...
"I swear it won't happen again..." Kankuro quickly promised to placate his brother and Naruto watched the boy's aura cool down while Kankuro and the girl's were both shivering like they were an obvious sign of fear.
"Lets go..." Gaara deadpanned to the two beside him while turning around.
"WAIT!!" Sakura shouted and Naruto winced shaking his ear's from the volume of the shout. Gaara's eye twitched, his aura flaring in annoyance but turned to look at Sakura annoyed.
"Yes?" He questioned monotonously and Naruto frowned.
"According to your hittai-ate, you three are from Sunagakure. Your country is one of Konoha's allies... But according to our treaty, your ninja are not allowed to cross the border without authorization. State your business! We can't just let you go your merry way." Sakura stated and Temari smirked holding her travel paper's to the pink haired Kunoichi.
"... Ever heard the old saying it's darkest at the base of the brightest light-house? Weren't you informed?" Temari questioned and Naruto frowned. Kisara however made her presence know as she snapped her finger's.
"You three are all Gennin level Ninja, so you must be here for the upcoming Chunin exam's, correct?" She questioned and Temari nodded her head. "Ahh... Then that means that it's being held early this year..." Kisara said to herself thoughtfully. Just then Sasuke appeared in front of Naruto and the others before he glared at Gaara.
"Hey! You there! What's your name?" Sasuke demanded and the blond girl smiled looking at the second cute boy she's seen today.
"W-who me?" She asked hopeful and Sasuke rolled his eye's.
"No! I was talking to the spook beside you." He deadpanned and The girl's face fell.
"... Gaara of the desert, at your service..." The red haired boy dead panned before looking at both Sasuke and Naruto. "And you are...?" He questioned and Sasuke smirked.
"Sasuke Uchiha." He said and then Gaara glanced at Naruto who frowned.
"Naruto Uzumaki." He said and Gaara nodded turning once more. "Wait!" Naruto then said and Gaara turned to him annoyed. "Your teammate's never gave us their name's... And it would be rude of us to forget them..." Naruto stated with a smirk and the still unnamed girl smiled. 'At least one of them isn't a prick...' She thought to herself.
"Temari of the Desert." She said and Kankuro rolled his eye's.
"Kankuro of the Desert." And with that the three vanished in three swirls of leaves. The group all stood their for a few seconds Sasuke smirking as he could tell thing's were going to get interesting and Naruto noticed three Aura's close by but didn't pay them any attention. He was however quite interested in that Gaara kid, his aura spoke to him of something far more sinister than he could even hope to imagine... 'Looks like the Chunin exam's are going to be pretty interesting this year...' He thought to himself with a frown.
--------------------
(Later that Night at Naruto's place...)
Our Former Blond Hero was sitting at the dinner table, Crow was working on the food while the sound's of someone fighting a wild animal were coming from downstairs. "Niisan... What's with all that racket down there?" Naruto questioned and Crow blinked then turned to him and eye smiled.
"I'm having Sable and Luna try and clear out all the wild animal's that have somehow managed to find their way into the basement." He stated and Naruto raised a brow.
"Like?" He questioned and Crow chuckled nervously.
"Oh... A bear... Some foxes... A couple rabbit's... and... I think even more than a few snake's..." He stated and the roar of a rather large sounding bear and Sable screaming came from downstairs...
"You're kidding... Right?" Naruto asked hopeful and Crow rubbed the back of his neck.
"You wish... That's why I don't go down there anymore... I almost lost my head last time..." He said and Naruto's jaw dropped. He quickly recomposed himself after a few moments, though looked to the door when he heard Luna screaming also...
"Right... So anyways Crow, what do you know about the Chunin exam's?" Naruto questioned of his brother ignoring the screams from downstairs and the roars of the large animal making them. Crow took on a thoughtful expression his eye's looking to the ceiling before he sighed.
"Well... It's a test of practical ninja skill's usually. Although it verys from village to village in what is tested. Konoha seems' to go with, Information Gathering, Survival and Tracking, more than anything else. So I wouldn't worry too much. Your Kamigan's 'Life Vision' ability will gather information faster than a Sharingan as long as you look into a persons eye's for something specific. And Survival and Tracking are both pretty easy for you also." Crow stated and Naruto nodded his head slowly. Just then they heard the loudest scream of pain yet from Sable and the blood curdling roar of a bear. "Now if you'll excuse me. Your food is done and I think I need to go wrestle a bear to save that idiot Sable..." Crow said in a dead tone and put a pot down in front of Naruto before walking into one of the hall's of the hotel. Naruto looked at the food for merely a second before jumping up and running to assist his brother.
--------------------
(The next Morning...)
Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke were all leaning against one side of the bridge they usually meet at. They were told to be here by Kakashi the day before, after they finished one of the more easy D-Ranked Mission's. Of course it had almost been two hours already and Sakura had ranted about how lazy and stupid their sensei was trying to get kind word's from either boy. Neither offered... "Why are you all scratched up Naruto?" Sakura then asked and the boy turned a single eye to her and winced. That damn fox was able to heal most major wound's yet it left little annoying scratches and bruises alone to be evil to him he could almost swear.
"Me, Crow, Luna, and Sable had to fight, Ten Foxes, Thirty Snake's, fifteen Rabbit's, and one full grown Grizzly Bear that all managed to somehow find their way into our basement..." Naruto said with one eye twitching as Sakura gaped at him, Sasuke merely raising a brow. "Yeah... I'm pretty sure they've all been down there a while and didn't know it wasn't their home... We managed to clear them out but gave one of the younger Snow Rabbit's to Haku-Chan..." Naruto said and Sakura shrugged.
"Morning guy's. Today I wondered a bit from the road of life..." Kakasi said and Sakura shouted her usual 'Liar!' at him. "In any case... This may surprise you... But I've recommended all three of you for the Chunin exams." Kakashi said while thinking in his head. 'Not to mention I'm having my friend and the Current ANBU Black Ops Squad Captain, Axel Inuzuka, keep an eye on Naruto. Just to see if he really does have what it takes to be an actual member... But no need to make Sasuke Jealous or Sakura depressed over it...' Kakashi thought with a smirk hidden behind his mask.
"SAY WHAT!" Sakura demanded of their sensei not believing him.
"Of course first, you have to fill out these application's." Kakashi said presenting three form's to the three teens and Naruto and Sasuke both smirked.
'Now the real fun can finally begin... Guy's like that Gaara and then probably even more powerful opponents... OH YEAH! I can already tell, this is gonna be one hell of a party!' Naruto thought to himself his smirk turning into a bit of a grin.
'Hmph, with strong Opponent's in the exam like that Gaara guy... I'll be able to get stronger to defeat HIM...' The one tracked mind of one Sasuke Uchiha thought to himself with his patented 'I'm so much better than everyone else' smirk.
'Ohh... This is bad, Naruto and Sasuke are BOTH way out of my league?! How am I supposed to enter into an exam that has people like these two enmasse? This Exam could really be too much for me...' She thought to herself as Kakashi looked at the different reaction's his Gennin were having then continued.
"If any of you don't wish to compete, the exam is completely voluntary. The choice it yours." Kakashi told his team as they looked over their form's Naruto wondering how strong the opponents were gonna be much like Sasuke, as Sakura was shaking in fear of what might happen to her. "You needn't turn in those Application forms unless you want to. If you do, report to room 301 at the school by 4:00 tomorrow afternoon." Kakashi said then vanished leaving them with only a few more word's. "That's all!" And with that he was gone leaving the three Gennin to their own devices.
Naruto walked past the other two reading carefully over the rule's and instruction's on the form. Sasuke headed home to train also keeping his own form in hand as he did. And Sakura, she just stared at her own form, she was scared, she knew that she needed to get stronger sometime... But she had hoped it wouldn't be so soon...
--------------------
TBC...
Hope you enjoyed learning about some of Naruto's abilities, not to mention his new Kekkei-Genkai, hope it's not TOO powerful but I wanted him to have an ability that could deal out some punishment. He's not supper powerful and it only work's when someone looks into his eye's, also it's still only a genjutsu, a powerful one like Tsukuyomi but a Genjutsu none the less.
NEXT TIME ON NARUTO ULTIMATE!!!

Just in-case you want to know what Naruto looks like now:
He has his normal Hittai-Ate on around his forehead. His hair is in the same style as the Yondaime only a bit longer so in the back it reaches the top of his shoulders and is blood red like Gaara or Tayuya. He has pale skin but not as pale as Orochimaru or Sai, his whisker mark's are still present and his eye's are still blue. His jacket is like the one from Shipuuden, only it has two red Uzumaki swirls on his upper arm's, Crow symbol on the back, and tiger stripe's down the side's of the torso. A pair of metal Gauntlet's on his arm's that have spike's on the knuckle's, a Konoha symbol on the back of his fist's, and a blade that folds down for compact use, and folds out for combat. Black Shinobi pants with his normal Kunai case on his right thigh, and his Shipuuden Sandals, I think those look cooler than the normal one's.
