Sorry I took so long. I was looking into the other ideas and some of those vicious plot bunnies (they are frikkin evil!) attacked me, my muse barely saved me from them. So yea, I might write the bleach or tenjho tenge cross soon as a side story.
Note: I wanted to clear up that Dante will have his guns Ebory and Ivory (it wouldn't be Dante without them) and he will be the only character in this fic to use guns. Blue Rose will not be a gun.

Preliminaries
Loud knocks pelted the apartment's door.
Lady had to stop herself from running at the mere thought of Naruto's return. Throwing the door open she couldn't help the disappointment that filled her tone. "Oh its only you."
She absently wondered when she started missing Naruto so much. "You okay? You don't look so good…"
Hana stumbled in the apartment. The girl looked more feral than the last time seen with disheveled hair, more prominent canines, and a wild look in her eyes. "I need Naruto-kun. Is he here?"
"No, he's still at the chunin exams, why?" Lady answered, closing the door behind the Inuzuka.
"I'm in heat…"
As Sarutobi explained the third exam he looked over the seven teams who had made it past the second exam. Four of them from Konoha and three of the four were still rookies, having graduated only a year ago. He resisted the urge to smile at them.
He did, however, nod in the new Naruto's direction approvingly, strange that the boy avoided his gaze. Naruto had already explained his sudden growth to Iruka, and while not detailed, it had something to do with his bloodline.
Stranger still, most of the kuniochi were sneaking glances at the new Naruto and blushing. Even the Kazekage's daughter was not immune to the boy's charm. The red head seemed completely smitten with him and ready to attack any of the kunoichi beside her.
"Now," Sarutobi said wrapping his speech up. "On to the third exam…"
"Please excuse my interruption Hokage-sama but if you don't mind I'll take over from here." The sickly looking man asked, shunshining in front of him.
"Not at all." Sarutobi answered.
"Hey Hayate-sensei, I see you still look as ill as ever!" Naruto shouted.
"As for you who do not know me, I am Gekko Hayate and productor of the third exam. But it seems that we still have too many genin so we will be holding preliminaries." Cries of outrage came from all the genin, except one.
"Well what are we waiting for, lets get this party started!" Naruto shouted over the complaints.
Anko nudged Kakashi in the ribs causing his one eye to look away from his book and focus on her. "I like that one Kakashi. Can I have him?" She said pointing at Naruto.
Kakashi's eye returned to his book. "If you can get past the girls that have already sunk their claws into him."
Anko pouted. "Awww… I don't want to share. Oh well guess I'll just go after you instead." The woman said with a thoughtful look.
"Guess so…" The copy-nin was once again engrossed in his book.
………
"What!?" Kakashi looked back at her with a wide eye.
"Nothing," She gave him an evil smile. "I'm just plotting, don't mind me." Kakashi closed his book and continued to watch her warily out the corner of his eye.
"Now anyone who feels they are not able physically or mentally to compete may forfeit now." The coughing jounin said.
"Well, I'm outta here then." Kabuto said raising his hand.
Naruto tensed as Kabuto passed by him. Forcing himself to relax he glanced at an unmoving Sakura. "Not going to forfeit? Those arms of yours are still useless."
Sakura smiled. "No way, I can't stop thinking of it as a challenge. You and Sasuke-kun are rubbing off on me."
Naruto look at the pink hair girl with a new respect, even Sasuke looked at Sakura in a new light. The fangirl was gone, this girl standing in front of them was a kunochi.
"Now if you would turn your attention to the board we can begin." The section on the wall behind Hayate rumbled, sliding open to reveal an electronic display board that was already shuffling through names.
Uchiha Sasuke v.s. Akado Yoroi
"Would the two fighters step forward? All others clear the battlefield and make your way to the observation area."
Both boys walked up while the others made their way to the upper balconies.
"Don't use the Sharingan." Kakashi said as he passed Sasuke.
"How'd you know?" Sasuke asked surprised.
Kakashi either didn't hear the question or didn't care, most likely the latter. "If the examiners see any signs of the curse mark beginning to take over, you will be disqualified." The man finished, walking away.
'Disqualified!' Sasuke's eye twitched at the slight throb of pain the cursed mark gave off. The masked boy across from him caught it and chuckled.
"Its not to late to give up Sasuke-kun" He said mockingly.
Sasuke ignored him. 'This thing seems to respond to my chakra. That just leaves me with taijutsu.'
"Its your fault we're weak!" A younger version of himself shouted. Sasuke shook off the images of his nightmare.
"Begin!"
He grabbed a kunai to deflect the shuriken thrown at him, but the cursed seal flared painfully sending him to the ground.
"Its your fault Itachi killed Mom and Dad!" The boy continued while peeling away a layer of his skin off his face to reveal serpentine eyes.
The Uchiha looked up and rolled out of the way of a fist that crushed the ground where he had been previously. Digging his kunai into the ground as a break, he hooked his feet around the masked genin's leg and took it out from under him. He then brought the boy's arm into a painful looking arm lock.
The masked nin grabbed the Uchiha by his collar with a glowing hand. The Sharingan wielder could feel his strength fade at the contact. Akado then broke his grip and sent a strong punch into his chin. Twisting around he grabbed the Uchiha's head with his glowing hand. Sasuke tried to pry the genin's hand from his head but his strength left him and his arms fell to his sides.
"You let them die!' His snake eyed counterpart cried in anguish.
Sasuke grabbed his discarded kunai and plunged the blade into the masked genin's arm. The boy cried out in pain as the metal bit into his skin. The cursed seal began to flare and electricity crackled around the kunai, burning the skin around it. Sasuke kicked the boy away and tried to fight off the vile but addicting chakra.
'I don't need this power to defeat him!' The cursed seal receded and Sasuke let out a sigh of relief. For some reason his kunai felt heavier. He looked down to find an intricate claymore crackling with electricity in his hand. A deep voice spoke in his head.
"I am Alastor, the weapon of an avenger. The weak shall give their heart and swear their eternal loyalty to me. Can you control my power?"
Sasuke move in a stance he'd seen Naruto use so much. 'Watch me.'
Naruto recognized his Streak attack stance. 'Even if you do have a sword I doubt you can pull it off on the first try.'
'Do not doubt the power of Alastor, my vassal. Dante used it with Ifrit to defeat Mundus.' Kyuubi spoke softly. 'The Uchiha will become either become a powerful ally or a deadly enemy, Alastor will not have a weak arm wield him.'
Sasuke glided forward and took a powerful step while thrusting his blade. The resemblance was similar to Naruto's Steak attack but was fit for a weapon that pierced instead of cut. Akado's eyes widened as the blade stabbed through his chest and burst out his back in an explosion of blood.
"But I thought Konoha shinobi were to soft to kill." Akado said, coughing up blood. Sasuke pulled his blade from the boy's chest, letting him fall to his knees, then wiped it on his shoulder to clean off the blood.
"You thought wrong." The Uchiha said simply with no emotion. The masked genin's eyes glazed over and he fell to the ground.
"Uchiha Sasuke is the winner!" Hayate shouted to the crowd as the medics bustled to remove Zaku's corpse. Many of the Konoha genin were stunned that Sasuke had actually killed his opponent but the Suna genin and team seven were unfazed. Team seven had already been introduced to killing.
"Hey, that's my move you bastard!" Naruto shouted.
Sasuke looked up and smirked. "That's my move Naruto, its Stinger not Streak." A hand came to rest on his shoulder.
"Not bad, making your own technique from Naruto's. Now lets get rid of that seal shall we?" Kakashi said. They both disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
Naruto just crossed his arms and sighed. "What a fucking copycat. I'm going to have to show him how its done when we fight." He said glancing at the board shifting through names.
Zaku Abumi v.s. Aburame Shino
Zaku smirked, confident in his victory even with his bandaged body. "Who's this loser?"
When both entered the stadium, Zaku a little stiffly due to his injuries, Hayate brought his hand up.
"Second match, begin!" He said bringing his arm down.
"Do you think Shino-kun will be alright?" Hinata stuttered after the Aburame got hit with a Zankuha. Kiba remained silent, contrasting greatly with his normal loud personality.
"I sure Shino will be fine Hinata." Kurenai answered, giving the Inuzuka a strange look.
"What happened to him?" Sakura asked. The boy's body was covered in bandages, most taking on a red tinge from his movement.
"Yamato." Naruto said simply. Shino had already trapped Zaku in a type of bug technique.
Sasuke swallow the scream that threatened to escape as intricate seals slithered up his body to circle the cursed seal. He let himself fall to the floor when the sealing was finished.
"This seal will hold back the cursed mark should it awaken in the future Sasuke but only if you have the will to for it to do so. Its power is derived from you, should you lose yourself the seal will weaken and the cursed mark will run rampant." Kakashi explained.
Sasuke closed his eyes and relished in the feel of the cold stone on his burning flesh as exhaustion claimed him.
"So advanced in the methods of sealing I see, but it will do little good."
Kakashi turned to face the snake summoner, his visible eye narrowing. "Orochimaru…"
"You think my influence over him is just manifested through the seal but it is also the sword. Alastor is a powerful weapon, but difficult to control. He'll need the cursed seal to master it." The Snake sannin said walking out of the shadows.
"Just what are you after?"
"Why I want your team, Kakashi! I was just going to take Sasuke for the sharingan but soon the rumors of the Kyuubi boy caught my interest and then the girl surprised me in the forest. I really must thank you for developing them so well for me. But I'll be taking them off your hands soon." The snake sannin cackled insanely. He was cut of by the sudden sound of a thousand birds.
"I won't let that happen." Kakashi said dangerously, holding his signature move.
"Oh really, just how do you plan to do that? The rift between them is small now but it will grow. Hasn't the council already forbidden you from teaching Naruto in order to focus on Sasuke?
"How-" Kakashi's attack faded from view.
Orochimaru began to walk away leaving his back wide open. "Don't look so surprised Kakashi, the council is so very predictable. Its funny really even with the Hokage defending them, the council is becoming increasingly suspicious of the women that live with the boy. And yet if they only looked under their noses they would see me." The man finished, fading back into the shadows.
Kakashi picked up Sasuke. "I don't care how powerful you are Orochimaru. I'll kill you if you threaten my team, even if I die in the process."
"So what I miss guys?" Kakashi asked walking out a cloud of smoke. Sometime while he was gone Gai and his pupil, Lee, had joined Naruto and Sakura along with the Kazekage's redheaded daughter, who seem content just to cling to Naruto.
"Nothing just a puppet fighting a rubberband." Naruto answered. He was seemly unfazed by the redhead clinging to his arm or the fact that she was between him and Sakura and giving the pink haired girl wary glances whenever she got to close.
'Naruto must be oblivious to not see the girl's affection.' Little did Kakashi know, Naruto wasn't nearly as oblivious as he was believed to be.
"Will Sasuke-kun be alright Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked.
"He'll be fine, but I think you should be more focused on your fight." Kakashi said, pointing at the electronic board that had chosen the next fighters.
Haruno Sakura v.s. Yamanaka Ino
"Match four, begin!"
"Give up Ino, you can't beat me." Sakura said.
"Don't get cocky with me, Forehead-girl! Without arms you don't have any jutsu." Ino shouted forgetting her brief concern for her friend.
"Who said anything about me using jutsu." Sakura raised her leg and stomped the ground causing a spiderweb of cracks in the stone. "I've gotten no where near to mastering this, but I'm getting pretty good at it."
Most of the spectators were in awe of the technique not seen since Tsunade left. The jounin were all thinking along the same lines. 'Just what the hell has Kakashi been teaching those kids?'
None really expected the lazy jounin to train his genin, to say they were surprised was an understatement. First the Uchiha is able to generate and focus lightning chakra through a weapon and now the girl has phenomenal chakra control to the point of recreating Tsunade's legendary strength to a certain degree. All of them glanced at the silver haired member of the Copy-nin's team wondering what his skills were.
"What was that?" Lee asked. "It couldn't be her strength alone."
"That, my youthful student, is chakra control." Gai answered in serious tone, glancing at Kakashi. "I was not aware you had the knowledge to teach such high level chakra control, Kakashi."
"It was her alone who expanded on her control. I merely taught the basics and guided her." The one eye jounin answered back calmly.
Sakura rushed forward and ducked under the blond's punch while driving her knee into the girl's stomach. Ino stumbled away but Sakura didn't press her attack.
"Stop holding back, Ino, because from here on I'm not." Sakura said charging again.
'When did she change so much?' Ino thought as she ducked under a roundhouse and punched the pink haired girl. While Sakura out matched her in strength and speed, her attacks were limited and slow without the use of her arms.
Sakura stumbled back for a brief instant before retaliating with a strong kick. Ino crossed her arms infront and sent as much chakra as she could in a hasty block. The kick slammed into her guard and sent her flying back. Shifting her weight, Ino used her momentum to backflip and land on her feet. 'With just one kick she almost broke both my arms, even though enhanced with chakra.'
"What's wrong Ino? All that hair getting in the way?" Sakura tensed when Ino reached into her weapons pouch only to be surprised when she cut her ponytail off.
"This means nothing to me!" The girls shouted before throwing the hair to the ground and making the handsign for Shintenshin. "I'll make you give up!"
"Shintenshin no Jutsu!" Sakura moved to dodge but found her legs caught by chakra guided hair.
Ino's body slumped while Sakura continued to stand still. Suddenly she spoke. "Examiner, I Haruno Sakura-" She grabbed her head in pain.
'Ino get out of my HEAD!'
Ino was hit with a force to put an enraged Akimichi to shame. She found herself back in her own body with Sakura hovering above her. 'She ejected me!' The blond found herself unable to move. 'I don't have anything left.'
She sighed. "I yield."
As soon as the words left Ino's mouth Sakura's legs collapsed, but was caught by Kakashi before she hit the ground. Asuma appeared to gather Ino in his arms.
"You did well Ino." He said gruffly.
Kakashi brought Sakura back to the balcony. He set her on the ground gently. "I'm very proud Sakura."
"Thanks Kakashi-sensei." She said.
Tenten v.s. Temari
Naruto watched as the weapon mistress's attack was shut down despite her green clad teammate's cheers. Gaara's sister defeated her easily by catching her in an high level wind jutsu and catching her with the battle fan where the bun-haired girl bent at a painful angle.
Lee was furious by the Sand-nin's disrespect toward his teammate but was held back by Gai.
Nara Shikamaru v.s. Kin Tsuchi
Naruto found his want for Kin dwindle as he saw her out strategized so easily by the Nara, despite his genius. No jutsu besides a bell technique and very basic abilities, he couldn't even see any potential.
"With the lust that came from your sudden maturation you saw her only as a female. Now you see she will not last if you mark her. There is no place for weakness among your mates." Naruto sighed, she was right as much as it annoyed him to admit that.
Inuzuka Kiba v.s. Uzumaki Naruto
"About damn time." Naruto said.
"Nyu?" She asked tilting her head in question.
Naruto turned to her and patted her head, which she leaned into. "Don't worry I'll be back before you know it."
The demon hunter blurred and reappeared in the arena with air trick, shocking the spectators. They were all eager to see what the last member of Kakashi's team was capable of.
Asuma noticed even Shikamaru was watching intently. 'So what's this one's power? The Uchiha is skilled with the sword he summoned and the girl's chakra control is phenomenal.' The man wondered while studying the boy's arm. 'And that arm is unlike any bloodline I've ever seen.'
Kurenai was confident in Kiba's victory. The Inuzuka was top in his class in taijutsu, there is no way he'd lose to the dead last.
"Lucky me." Kiba said seriously, jumping over the railing. 'I'll make that bastard pay for marking Hana.'
"Match seven, begin." Hayate said calmy. 'Show me how far you've come Naruto.'
Kiba calmly took out two chakra pills out. "So it was your scent. I wasn't sure before but now I'm positive. It was you who marked Hana!"
'I marked Hana?' Naruto wondered before realizing something. 'Shit! That must have been why she acted so weird after our battle.'
Kiba swallowed one pill and gave the other to Akamaru, turning the dog's fur red. He then brought his hands together in a seal. "Shikyaku no Jutsu."
The Inuzuka got down on all fours and suddenly took on a more feral appearance. "Now, Akamaru!"
The small puppy jumped on his back. "Jujin Bunshin!" In a burst of smoke the dog was replaced by a second Kiba that looked just as feral as the first.
"She may be okay with it but I'm not! Show me you can protect her!" The original said while both bounded on all fours at Naruto with impressive speed.
"If that's the way you want it, I'll gladly kick your ass." Naruto said, unsheathing Yamato.
"Not so fast!" The Inuzuka let loose a smoke bomb blanketing the area in front of him in smoke.
"Gatsuuga!" Two small vortexes tore into the blinded Naruto sending him crashing into the wall with enough force to make a small crater.
"You're not good enough for my sister." The original Kiba spat. The other took a few steps closer to stiff the air.
'That's it?' Asuma thought in obvious disappointment. 'You taught the Uchiha and the girl but not him?'
'I knew it, the boy is still just the dead last.' Kurenai thought.
Both were stunned by what happened next.
Naruto blurred in front of one of the Inuzuka, slamming his devil bringer arm into his face. The Kiba flew back but was caught by the ethereal form of Naruto's arm and thrown into the air.
He blurred out with an Air Trick and reappeared behind the Kiba swinging his sword down to summon a Judgement Cut. The blue crescent slammed into the Kiba sending him crashing into the ground. Naruto landed lightly next to the smoking trench. The smoke cleared revealing the small dog whimpering weakly.
"Its just you and me, Dog-breath." Naruto said, sheathing Yamato.
"I'll tear you apart!" The Inuzuka recklessly charged at Naruto in anger.
Naruto's human arm blocked the wild slash aimed for his head. A powerful uppercut from Naruto's ethereal devil bringer knocked Kiba off his feet. Naruto caught him by his collar with his human hand and reared his ethereal devil bringer back. The silver haired devil hunter then unleashed a flurry of punches on the Inuzuka that slowly increased in intensity.
Kiba felt the world around him disappear when the glowing devil bringer slammed into his stomach. He fell to his knees, coughing up blood and almost slid down to the ground, but Naruto picked him up by his head and forcing him to look up.
"I'm not interested in your bullshit! When I marked Hana, she became mine! I'll destroy anything that tries to harm her!" Naruto's ethereal devil bringer then crashed into the Inuzuka's face sending him across the arena.
Hayate went to check the Inuzuka. 'Strange, the boy is beat up but nothing is broken or ruptured. Its almost as if Naruto pulled held back in that assault.' Hayate looked back at the boy who was pulling his sleeve over his demonic appendage.
"Winner Uzumaki Naruto!" The coughing jounin finally announced. The medics were quick to gather up Kiba and avoid Naruto like the plague.
'Now that's more like it.' Asuma thought. 'That bloodline limit is something else.'
"Impossible!" Kurenai couldn't believe her crimson eyes. "He defeated Kiba so easily."
Hyuga Hinata v.s. Hyuga Neji
"I never thought that I'd be meet you here Hinata-sama." Neji said with a cruel smirk.
'N-n-neji-"
"The heiress one of the noble founding clans of Konoha, stuttering! Don't you have any pride? I wonder if you even had the nerve to join this exam of your own will? Or did you believe your teammates could protect you?"
"I-I e-entered to c-change m-myself!" Hinata shouted, betraying her shy nature.
"I can see with my eyes that you will never change!" Neji said, activating his byakugan.
"Then you are truly blind!" Neji's veined eyes focused on Naruto, the one who spoke. "I see the potential in her."
Naruto's support was all Hinata needed to focus. She calmly slid into a gentle fist stance. Negi looked shocked by her sudden boldness, but moved into a stance that mirrored hers.
The distance between them closed in a flash and they were soon in a beautiful but deadly dance that was the gentle fist fighting style. The blows were so powerful that the chakra could be seen when deflected or blocked.
Naruto struggled to keep his temper in check as the fight raged on. It became apparent that Neji outclassed Hinata in terms of skill when his closed her tenketu.
'How can he do that to his own family?' Naruto said watching Neji brutally knock the girl down only for her to struggle back to her feet. Faint traces of red was beginning to bleed into Naruto's blue eyes. Nyu's presence kept him from acting rashly but when Neji went for the killing blow even though he already won Naruto lost it.
Neji found himself looking into blood red eyes that made his blood run cold. Yamato trembled near his neck, the only thing keeping it back was Hayate's blade. Kakashi stood behind Naruto holding his devil bringer in a hammerlock. Gai caught Neji in a headlock to keep his chakra enhanced palm from striking anyone. Kurenai appeared next to a pale Hinata.
"Stand down Naruto. That's an order." Kakashi said calmly, but in a tone that left no room for argument.
Naruto's eyes lost their red glow as he sheathed Yamato. Kakashi released him but was standing in a place where he could intercept the boy easily should he try to go after Neji.
Hinata suddenly collapsed, coughing up blood and Naruto was there to catch her. Naruto could faintly here someone calling for the medics. Everything seemed to slow down, it was like watching Kyrie die all over again. 'No. I will never let that happen again.'
With everyone watching, Naruto brought his glowing devil bringer above Hinata's chest and let the soothing blue light seep into her. Kakashi moved to hold Kurenai back while uncovering his Sharingan.
"Get him away from her!" The genjutsu mistress shouted.
"Wait Kurenai, he's healing her!" Kakashi could see Naruto's chakra flowing into Hinata to neutralize Neji's.
When the glow finally faded Hinata was breathing normally. Naruto took a deep breath and turned, unleashing focused killing intent on Neji.
"If we meet in the finals, I will crush you!" And with an Air Trick Naruto was back on the balcony, leaving Hinata in the med-nin's care.
Rock Lee v.s. Gaara
Lee's eye seemly set on fire. "Yosh! It my turn and I will not disappoint!" He jumped down eager for his fight.
Nyu's went from innocent to annoyed showing her shift in personalities before disappearing in a swirl of sand.
Lee's taijutsu was extraordinary but he didn't get in any solid hits, even when he took off his weights the green beast only managed to land in a single axe kick.
When he opened five of the eight chakra gates he became powerful enough to break Gaara's defense but after using the gates the green beast was nothing but a sitting duck. Gaara, who had survived the powerful Ura Renge, surprised all of the sand and sound ninjas by not moving in for the kill.
The match went to Gaara because Lee was unable to continue. Since Lee didn't sustain any damage other than the gates themselves he was expected to, in time, make a full recovery.
As soon as the match was called Gaara appeared next to Naruto in a swirl of sand. Still in her Gaara persona, she asked. "Did I do good, Naruto-kun?"
"Yea, I very proud of you for not killing him." He said patting her on the head. She smiled and, much to his embarrassment and Sakura's and Kakashi's amusement, glomped him.
'She's not exactly what I expected when they warned us of the sand jinchuriki.' Kakashi thought while watching Naruto smile at the girl who had shifted back to the Nyu persona. 'But you can bring out the good in anyone if you try hard enough, Naruto.'
The last match between Choji and Dosu was kind of pathetic really. Choji attacked with his clan technique but when he stopped Dosu managed to take him out in one hit. The Akimichi was quickly moved by the medics.
The Hokage now stood in front of the winners. "Congratulations on passing the preliminaries, now please draw a number from the box Anko has to decide the order of the final exam."
Naruto didn't miss the sly look Anko gave Kakashi when he drew for two his students.
Naruto: 1
Sakura: 10
Sasuke: 4
Shikamaru: 8
Kankuro: 5
Dosu: 9
Gaara: 3
Temari: 7
Neji: 2
Shino: 6
Ibiki showed them a chart giving the order for the finals.
Match One: Uzumaki Naruto vs. Hyuga Neji
Match Two: Sabaku no Gaara vs. Uchiha Sasuke
Match Three: Kankuro vs. Aburame Shino
Match Four: Temari vs. Nara Shikamaru
Match Five: Kinuta Dosu vs Haruno Sakura
Neji couldn't help the shiver that went down his spine when he caught the Uzumaki boy glaring at him, faint traces of red bleeding into his eyes.
Naruto groggily woke up to the sound of someone knocking on his door. He ignored it and pulled the nearest pillow closer to him for warmth. But when that pillow let out a small, tired moan and snuggled into him his eyes shot open to find all his mates in bed with him. And no matter how hard he tried, all he could remember from yesterday was the chunin exams, he didn't even remember how he got back.
"My poor vassal, you can't remember? I sure can." Kyuubi said, mocking him.
'What happened, damnit!'
"A devil's lust can't be surppressed forever, but when I released it your mates were all to happy to sate that lust when you came back. It was so very satifying to watch through your eyes."
'You possessed me?'
"No, it was all you. A different side of you, but you none the less."
The teen was brought out of thought by the person's relentless knocking. Whoever he or she was they were determined to speak to him or break down the door.
Untangling himself from the women, causing some tired groans, he slipped on a pair of boxers that were laying around while making his way to the door. He opened it a crack and peered out.
"What do you want closet pervert?" After making sure his room door was closed the teen opened the door.
Ebisu seemed to stumble over himself at the degrading, but true, nickname. "That is Ebisu-sensei to you! Are you deaf? I have been knocking for the past ten minutes. And such indecency is inexcusable."
"I was sleeping and this is my house." The teen answered evasively. "What do you want?"
"Why if I had been an assassin-"
"You'd be dead right now."
"And I could have sworn I heard voices." The tutor said looking around the apartment behind the teen.
"Listen, I going to make this as simple as possible. You tell me why you're here or my door is going to slam in your face."
The man stood a little straighter. "How dare you, Kakashi sent me with a scroll. I believe it contains training exercises you are to do while he's away…"
"Away?" The teen asked taking the scroll.
"Yes away, he must train the Uchiha to face the sand moster." Naruto's eyes narrowed, not liking the way this man spoke of one of his mates.
"Naruto-sama come back to bed." One of the girls called out.
"Who was that? You had better not be doing vile perverted acts." The tutor said furiously.
Naruto seemed to study Ebisu's face for a moment. "Hey Ebisu, did you get a doctor to look at your nose yet?"
Ebisu's anger turned into curiousity. "Why what's wrong with my nose?"
SLAM!!
"OOOOWWWWWW! MY NOSE!"
Naruto clapped his hands together, brushing off the imaginary dirt. "Now to find out what happened yesterday."
"Where is Naruto, isn't he coming too?" Sakura asked, struggling to keep up with the weights they had to wear.
"The council would not grant me permission to bring Naruto." Kakashi's eye didn't stray from his book.
"Why should the council care?" The Uchiha fiddled with the new sheath he had bought for Alastor.
"The council can be very…difficult to deal with sometimes, Sasuke. But just because Naruto isn't coming doesn't mean you two will be allowed to slack off."
The two groaned, just thinking about the torture this guy called training made them ache all over.
End Chapter 11
Hmm... Now which devil arm should Naruto kick Neji's ass with? Decisions... decisions...
