Chapter 2: Family, chunin exams finals! Behold the power of hell and earth!
Naruto slipped into his clothes as he got out of his hospital bed, and Karin said, "I know one thing we're doing, getting you some new clothes." Naruto sighed and said, "I know, but this was the only thing the stores would sell to me." Kin looked at the jumpsuit in disgust and said, "It makes you a target." Naruto scowled and said, "Guess that was the point. The only good thing would be that it helped make my stealth so good. I was able to paint the Hokage faces in this thing, and no one noticed till I finished." Kin and Karin broke into a fit of giggles, and the trio left the room, Naruto having gun and sword once again on his belt.
As they made their way out, Naruto checked out at the receptionist's desk, and heard from behind, "Well Naruto, nice to see you up and about." Naruto turned and saw Kakashi, still casually holding his book for all to see. Karin and Kin gave the scarecrow a glare, and Naruto asked, "Any reason you're here? Oh wait, i'm guessing Sasuke must be here. I can't imagine you would be here for anyone else." Kakashi gave a glare, and said, "Haha, very funny Naruto. I came to see you too. I wanted to ask you about that strange power of your's." Naruto snorted and said, "Right, so you can hope to tell poor Sasuke about it. As if."
The trio tried to walk away, only for Kakashi to grab Naruto's shoulder, and say, "I wasn't finished. Lord Hokage would also like to speak to you about that power." Naruto shrugged off his hand and said, "Well, it will take a lot for me to even look at that old prick, let alone speak to him." Kakashi's glare intensified as he said, "Show some respect to the Hokage genin! Keep up your attitude and I might not even give you a training scroll." Naruto grabbed Kakashi by the neck as he said, "What, thought I was going to come beg you for training or something? Well FUCK YOU!"
Karin and Kin let a smile cross their faces as Naruto continued, "I don't need the help of a favoritist bastard like you! I have my own ways of training, and the help of someone far more reliable then you!So you can go run to your little boy toy Sasuke, and maybe he'll stroke your ego, cuz you're already sucking his dick!" He then let go of Kakashi's neck, and the scarecrow tried to catch his breath. Kakashi gave Naruto a glare, and Naruto said, "You won't learn a thing about me, and tell Hokage-sama, if he wants to talk, he better come himself, and be on his hands and knees to beg for forgiveness after what he did!"
Karin and Kin, along with all in the lobby of the hospital, had their mouths wide open. A whistle split the silence, and Anko walked into the lobby and said, "Damn gaki, gave him one hell of a tongue lashing that's for sure." Kakashi glared at her, and Naruto said, "I'd quit that look scarecrow, lest you want to lose that eye too." Anko let a snicker pass her lips, and she said, "Let's talk in private, and bring your girlfriends." The trio blushed, and as they left, Kakashi thought, 'That power won't save you during the exams, it will be during the day, and Sasuke will win over you Naruto, as he should.'
Anko dragged the trio into her favorite dango shop, though Naruto noticed a waiter giving him, as well as Anko the same glare as the other villagers. Naruto leveled a glare right back, making the man shrink away. Naruto smirked as he heard, "So, Karin right? I see you are an Uzumaki, just like the gaki here." Karin nodded, and said, "I am, and I was hoping to help Naruto-kun prepare for his match." Anko gained a sly smirk as she said, "Oh, so it's Naruto-kun huh, you sly devil. I wonder though, how closely related are you two?" Karin had a light bulb go off in her head, and she pulled what looked to be results out of her pocket. She then said, "I had this done while Naruto-kun was out cold.' She opened it, and Kin, Anko and Naruto looked over her shoulder, and to their shock, she read, 'We are related, but it seems we're very distant cousins. There's only a five percent match, and by most standards, that's pushing the word related."
Anko let a sly look cross her face again as she said, "Well well, seems the two Uzumaki brats might have some of their own." Naruto and Karin had the decency to blush, though Karin had a lost look in her eyes. Naruto sighed and said, "Well, that's one issue solved, yet another pops up." Anko raised an eyebrow and asked, "Oh? And what would that be?"
Naruto let a smirk cross his face as he asked, "Anko-san, I'm no fool, I doubt that no matter what I do, me becoming chunin is slim, depending on who's judging." Anko slowly nodded, well aware of what he meant. Naruto continued, "So, I was hoping, that regardless if I do or not, to be taken off team seven." Anko let a look of sadness cross her eyes, and she said, "Listen gaki, I can tell that Kakashi is a crappy teacher. Hell, the fact you made it here by yourself, without his help not only shows how neglectful he is, but, it also shows your potential."
Naruto chuckled and said, "Why thank you Anko-san, and, perhaps, you could help." Karin and Kin had an idea of what it was, and Naruto said, "Perhaps, after the exams are over, if I fail to make chunin, or if I do, I was hoping, myself, Karin-chan, and Kin-chan would be put together on a team, and, with your acceptance of course, you would act as our Jonin sensei." Anko let a bit of pink on her cheeks, though she chuckled and said, "You have some gall gaki, but, you've impressed me with how you took out that Kabuto kid, so, sure, what the hell! Well, while we're here, let's celebrate! Waiter, four plates of dango and sake!"
Naruto noticed the waiter nod, only to see him look at Anko with distain, making Naruto give a silent glare. Naruto calmly sat as the girls start to talk, and he noticed the waiter coming back with the sake, and placed the bottles on the table. As the waiter moved away and Kin took her bottle, Naruto grabbed her wrist, and pulled the AotN from his belt, and primed it, pointing it in the waiter's direction. He then said, "What do you think you were trying to pull?" The waiter was nervous, stories of what happened to Kabuto having already started to float around the village. Naruto slowly turned his head in the waiter direction, and said, "Putting bleach in sake? How pathetic. Now either you bring fresh bottles, or I redecorate the walls with your fucking brain. The waiter gulped, and Kin asked, "How did you know there was bleach in these bottles?"
Naruto tapped his nose and said, "Good sense of smell." He heard both the darkness and Jackie laugh, and Jackie said, "Holy shit kid, that's one way to make a guy piss himself. You remind me of me when I was younger, before I became the Don." Naruto mentally smirked and thought, 'Thanks Jackie, coming from you, that's one hell of a compliment.' He noticed the waiter coming back, and set fresh bottles, the previous one having already been thrown away. Anko let a small smile cross her face the food arrived, this time without incident.
(Hokage's office)
Sarutobi had his face on his desk, and he asked, "He really said that? Are you sure?" Kakashi sighed and said, "Yes, word for word." Sarutobi shook in fear as the image assaulted his mind again, and he thought, 'What on earth has he become?' Kakashi sighed and said, "What are we going to do with him?" Sarutobi picked his head up and glared as he said, "No, a better question is what am I going to do with YOU!" Kakashi looked shocked in his one eye as Sarutobi continued, "You were supposed to be the sensei of Squad 7, not Sasuke Uchiha alone! What the hell were you thinking!"
Kakashi flinched, but Sarutobi said, "No, no excuses. How could things turn out this way? I didn't think another Uzumaki would be around after Uzushiogakure was destroyed in the war." Kakashi shook his head and said, "I was surprised about Kushina-sama. I thought she was the last." Sarutobi nodded and said, "So did I, I just hope she doesn't convince him to leave the village, or even worse, turn on us." Kakashi flinched, knowing he might have helped grease the wheels of Naruto's choice. Neither noticed a pair of eyes watching from the shadows, it's lack of a chakra signature made it invisible to the ANBU around the room.
(Naruto's apartment)
Naruto sat on his bed, his eyes closed, yet he could see everything Jakko saw, and heard it all. He fists were clenched tight, and he heard Karin come in, and she asked, "Everything okay?" Naruto nearly snarled and said, "I know what we'll do for this little month. Pay a visit to our home." Karin looked at him for a moment before it clicked. She whispered, "Uzushiogakure." Naruto nodded, and said, "And we should move, I can barely stand this place right now." Karin nodded, and went in the other room to fetch Kin.
(Konoha streets)
Anko patted her full stomach after enjoying the meal with her soon to be students, the thought of it making her stop, and nearly cry, 'They, they wanted me. Out of all the other jonin, they picked me. Why?' She felt her fists clench has she remembered the whispers she heard when she became a jonin,
'I hope they never give her a team.'
'Who in their right mind would let that snake whore teach children?'
'Why the Hokage didn't throw her away like the trash she is i'll never know.'
'She must of used her filthy body to have charmed her way to become jonin.'
Anko merely pushed the thoughts aside as she thought, 'These bastards, I hope Naruto-kun shows them all whose wrong!' She felt her curse mark react to her anger, and she slinked back to her apartment, tears falling down her face. A thought crossed her mind, 'I get the feeling, he'll make them pay.'
(Uzushiogakure- one week later)
Naruto, Karin, and Kin stood in the middle of the village's library, searching through the books in order to find out more on the clan. Naruto pulled a book from a shelf, and caused a wall to slide open next to it. He heard Jackie groan, 'Really? Was like watching Scooby-doo again.' Ignoring the thought, he looked at the book he pulled, 'Myth of the Rikudou Sennin'. "The hell? A secret room?" Naruto went down the stairway, Karin and Kin following. As they went down the passageway, seals started to glow along the walls, and Karin noticed that the seals glowed as she and Naruto passed, 'They must be reacting to our blood, it's why Kin-san isn't triggering any.'
As they reached the end of the passageway, Naruto saw a chamber with a large seal in the middle, and a slab at the end. Naruto walked towards it as he read, 'Only those whose eyes hold the Rinne'gan may read this message, and know the secret to this chamber.' Karin looked at the slab, and asked, "Naruto-kun, what are you reading? Is it that slab, because there's nothing on it."
Naruto walked over to the slab, walking to the center of the seal, as he continued, 'Those who can read this, walk to the enter of the room, there, the paths of pain shall be opened.' Naruto stepped into the middle of the seal, causing it to activate, and he felt a large burning sensation in his eyes. He felt his body changing, and Karin and Kin saw various seals breaking on his skin. Even the Gogyo Fuin Orochimaru placed over the Shiki Fuin broke, restoring the seal to it's proper function. A bright light filled the chamber, and when it dimmed, Naruto stood in the center, changed. He turned toward Karin, and said, "We need to see that library."
(Amegakure- Akatsuki base)
A man with orange hair was facing away from the tower, out into the rain that blanketed the village. He felt something off in the distance, something familiar. He opened his eyes, showing purple concentric circles taking up the entirety of his eyes. His body was covered in an overcoat that was black with red clouds. His face had a multitude of black piercings, and a large amount of paper collected behind him. The paper parted to reveal a woman in her mid thirties, her blue hair framing her angelic face, the only decoration a single paper flower. She too wore an overcoat, same as other, and she said, "Pein-sama, does something trouble you?"
Pein shook his head and said, "I felt something Konan, off in the distance. It felt, familiar." Konan looked at him in surprise and said, "What could it mean? Is it possible someone other then you has the Rinne'gan?" Pein closed his eyes, and said, "It can't be. Only the Uzumaki clan has ever held the Rinne'gan. And the only Uzumaki besides myself is-' 'The kyuubi jinchurriki. Pein-sama, what if he has the Rinne'gan?" Pein merely looked to the horizon as he said, "It is possible Konan. A slim chance, but possible."
Konan looked downcast as she asked, "Pein-sama, no, Nagato, would you go so far as to kill the only family you have left?" Pein merely shook his head and said, "For peace, sacrifices must be made, when the time comes." Konan could only look at her long time friend in disbelief.
(Hidden base)
Orochimaru looked down at the body of Kabuto, as it was laid out on a slab, and said, "Curse that Uzumaki brat. Without Kabuto, I need someone to start the genjutsu." He then heard, "My, I never knew how much I was important." He turned and saw Kabuto standing behind a pillar, and he asked, "How on earth?' He turned back to the body on the slab, and saw it change into that of an Ame ninja. 'You used your Dead soul jutsu, didn't you?" Kabuto smirked, and said, "Of course Orochimaru-sama, the forest provided me with plenty of material. Having it stand in for me made it easy to see Naruto-kun's power." Orochimaru merely smirked and said, "Well now, it seems the plan can proceed as scheduled, soon, the Leaf village will be nothing but ash!"
(Time skip- Day of the finals)
The Chuunin Exam stadium was bustling with civilians and ninja alike. The Daimyos of the different nations sat in the VIP box, ANBU keeping watch from a distance. The winners of the preliminaries stood single file in the middle of the arena, Neji, noticing Naruto's absence, said, "It seems that fool won't make it here after all." He felt glares from Temari, and oddly enough Gaara, while Kankuro said, "Easy there Hyuuga, he'll show, a guy like that wouldn't be a no show."
Neji scoffed and looked away from the line, and Genma, the proctor for the portion of the exam, said, "Stand straight and look to the front, we have a lot of VIPs here." He then held up a sign, and said, "Alright, for those who forgot, here is the line up for the matches:
First match: Neji Hyuuga versus Naruto Uzumaki
Second match: Gaara Sabaku versus Sasuke Uchiha
Third match: Shino Aburame versus Kankuro Sabaku
Fourth match: Temari Sabaku versus Karin Uzumaki
Fifth match: Choji Akimichi versus winner of Fourth match.
In the stands, Shikamaru said, "Oh man, I still feel my head pounding from my mom's cooking iron." Ino scoffed at him and said, "That's what you get for acting so lazy." Sakura looked around and said, "So now where's the baka? Probably so scared of losing without those freaky power of his."
Ino looked at her and said, "Sakura! He's still your teammate! Sure he might act strange, but at least he's kind! He helped Tenten out during her match, and he helped Hinata." Shikamaru sighed and said, "As much as it pains me to admit it, Sakura is right on one thing." Ino looked at him in shock, and Sakura let a smug look cross her face. Behind them, Kiba asked, "What do you mean?"
Shikamaru explained, "That power of his is like my clan Jutsu, it needs the shadows to work right, and in an open field like this, while the sun's out, that's putting a limit on his power, if he can use it at all." They heard someone clap behind them, and they turned to see Kin, though her clothes changed.
Rather then her old sound uniform, she now wore a black kimono with loose sleeves, a red swirl on the back, and her long hair was no longer a long ponytail, it was two shoulder-length ponytails, each wrapped up in bandages, and ended with a gold ring on the end to keep it together. (How Soifon has her's.) Kin then smirked and said, "You have a point, in bright areas like this, Naruto-kun can't use those powers, but then again, that's not all he focused on." Shikamaru sighed again, "What a drag, I should of known that blonde, so, when's he gonna show up?" Kin merely smirked and said, "Sorry, that would be telling."
Anko sat with Kurenai in a different section of the stands, and Kurenai looked at her and asked, "You seem chipper today, something going on?" Anko smirked and said, "Well, let's just say I do not wanna be that Hyuuga kid." Kurenai raised an eyebrow and asked, "Well, he did show that weird power of his, and he has been gone for the month. He must of went training with that cousin of his." Anko's smirk grew wider as she thought, 'If only you knew.'
The immortal chuunin, Izumo and Kotetsu heard people making bets around them, and Izumo asked, "Think Uzumaki has a shot?" Kotetsu nodded, "After what I heard happened in the preliminaries, yeah, I think so. Only problem is the weather, too bright out here. Now if this were held in Kumo or Ame it'd be different." Izumo nodded, and said, "But then again, no one has seen him around town since the preliminaries, he might have some new tricks."
Down in the arena, Genma then said, "Alright, will the participants of the first match come forward, the rest of you head up to the balcony until your match is called." The others walked toward the balcony, though Gaara stopped, turned back and said, "Pray he doesn't show Hyuuga, he's like me, a monster that won't quit." Neji shivered, though smirked and said, "He's not even here, so why should I pray." Gaara started to grip 'his' head, and said, "Mother is screaming, he's here! The real monster is HERE!"
People started to look around, hoping to spot a speck of orange. Kin smirked, and pointed upward, and Shikamaru looked in the direction she was pointing, and he shouted, "HOLY SHIT! HE'S UP THERE!"
People looked up, and to their amazement, someone was floating over the arena, as if he were standing on air. The figure slowly descended, and they couldn't make out who it was, until he dropped to the ground.
The figure had long red hair, with streaks of black and yellow mixed into it. He stood at an imposing 6'0 even, and his body was covered in a brown and ragged cloak (Think the cloak Asura wears after his first return). When the figure looked up, his eyes were shown to be purple, and in the design of concentric circles, the rings spreading out like a ripple in a pond. But the fact that surprised everyone the most, was the dark whiskermarks on his cheeks. Ino shouted out, "Is that Naruto! He's HOT!" She then blushed, as many were looking at her, though in the balcony, Temari felt her face heat up, and thought, 'She's right though, to think he was the same shrimp we met when we first came here.' She Saw Gaara walk into the room, and she noticed 'his' stare wasn't leaving Naruto's form. She thought, 'Is it because he can tell how strong he is, or something else?'
Neji glared and said, "So, you managed to get a change in looks, not that it will do you any good. This match is already mine." Naruto grinned, and in a deeper voice, said, "And what exactly has determined that? If I may ask." Neji let a smirk cross his face, and he said, "Fate has decided this match." To his shock, and the shock of the Hyuuga in the stands, Naruto started to laugh. Neji had a tickmark on his head and he said, "What is so funny?"
Naruto slowly stopped laughing, and he said, "You think fate has any sway here? Foolish punk, relying on fate like a crutch, I might as well break it, and your spirit." Sarutobi was shivering in his seat, his eyes filled with fear. The 'Kazekage' looked over and asked, "Something wrong?" Sarutobi merely shook it off and said, "No, nothing at all, just expecting some good matches." The 'Kazekage' nodded and said, "Of course, what with my son facing the Uchiha next, it's bound to impress the crowd." Sarutobi gave a side glance, but said, "Of course." In his mind however, 'What on EARTH! That hair, those eyes! He can't possibly have obtained the Rinne'gan!'
Neji scowled and said, "Fate controls everything. To go against it is pointless. It seems I will have to prove it to you." He triggered his Byakugan, the veins on the side of his face that led to his eyes bulged, the mark of activation. Naruto started to laugh harder, and Neji clenched his fists, but steeled himself and slid into his clan's taijutsu stance. Naruto calmly stood, and Genma, said, "Well then, let the first match of the Chuunin exam finals, BEGIN!"
(Play Kingdom Hearts 2 Ost Thirteenth Struggle)
Neji felt his anger rise as he saw Naruto do nothing but smirk. Naruto then said, "Show me your strength. Show it, before I crush it, and you." Neji, in a fit of rage, charged, ready to use Jyuuken to destroy Naruto's heart. Naruto's smirk grew as he uttered two words, "Shinra Tensei. (Heavenly Subjugation of the Omnipresent God)" Neji felt something push against him, and the crowd saw a orb surround Naruto's body.
Temari looked in shock, as she thought, 'That wasn't wind, it had to have been something else.' Naruto raised his hand and pushed it forward, causing the orb to spread out, and Neji to go flying. Neji managed to correct himself, and he said, "What was that!" Naruto smirked, and said, "A gift from the eyes of God." Neji shivered as he saw Naruto's eyes, and he stammered out, "What, is that!"
Naruto smirked and said, "The eyes of god, the Rinne'gan, the first, and strongest of the San DaidÅjutsu (Three Great Eye techniques), eyes that surpass even those of you Hyuugas." The Hyuuga that sat in the stands had looks looked aghast, and some of the elders were calling out for Naruto's head. Hiashi, Hinata's father, felt a tug on his kimono's sleeve, and he looked down to see his youngest daughter, Hanabi, look up at him and ask, "Father, is what he's saying true? That his eyes are better then our's?"
Hiashi sighed and said, "There is a myth that the Rikudo Sennin had such eyes. If what Naruto says is true, then he really does have eyes that surpass ours." The elders look at Hiashi with disgust, while Hinata thought, 'Please, go easy on Neji-neesan, Naruto-neesama.' She then felt a cough rip through her chest, the pain inflicted by Neji still affecting her. Kiba moved her up the stairs, and an ANBU in a black cloak started to apply medical jutsu.
Neji shivered in fear, and Naruto grinned and said, "That's right, tremble, for now your hour of judgment has arrived, and I shall be the one to deliver it to you.' He closed his eyes, 'Human path', He snapped them open, and vanished, in a blur not even Gai would be able to keep up with, and neji felt his torso nearly give in. a thought crossed his mind, 'Was that, one punch?' He felt himself moved through the air, only for something to wrap around his ankle. He could barely see a chain around his ankle, before being dragged along the ground, his face kissing the dirt.
Anko tarted to laugh, a certain redhead next to her. Anko turned and said, "You two really worked during the month huh?" Karin giggled and said, "We certainly have. Naruto-koi took to our clan's techniques easily. I wasn't so lucky, but I did manage to learn a few, lesser versions." Anko looked down as Naruto was dragging Neji around the field, and she asked, "Do many of those techniques involve his eyes?" Karin shook her head and said, "That would be telling." Anko noticed Karin's clothes were different from last time she saw her.
Like Kin, she wore a black kimono, except hers, rather then having the sleeves be loose, her sleeves were tied down, her wrists and hands covered in fingerless gloves. Her long red hair was now tied into a ponytail, the hair on the top her head was split into two styles, one half slightly spiky, the other half smooth. Her hair hid the same spiral that Kin had on her kimono. Anko whistled and said, "Wow, looks like Naruto wasn't the only one to get into shape." Karin giggled and said, "Thank you Anko-sensei." Anko froze, and thought, 'She said, she actually said it.' Anko let a smile cross her face, and heard the crowd gasp, making her look back at the arena.
Neji looked worse for wear. Being dragged around in the dirt by only a chain can do that. Naruto was using the chain as a whip, and wrapped it around his chest like a sash. Naruto kept a smirk on his face as he said, "How does it feel? That for once, it's you who's being beaten down." Neji picked himself off the ground, getting to his feet, and he said, "It is my fate to win this match. You claim you have the eyes of god, but I know that's fake!"
Naruto stopped smirking, and said, "Do you think so?" Neji let an arrogant smirk cross his face as he said, "I know it. My Byakugan can see everything. And all I see is the deadlast." Naruto shook his head and said, "Well then, if you will hold on to fate, then I guess I will have to break you, permanently."
A large pressure filled the arena, and Naruto said, "You should have given up, you should not have shown your face here. Now, you will be crushed, just as an ant is crushed by a dragon! Asura path!" One of the rings in Naruto's eyes glowed, and to the shock of those in the stands, Naruto threw off his cloak, showing he wore no shirt underneath, and two silver arms sprouted from his shoulders. Neji looked on his fear as he backed away. Naruto let a maniacal grin cross his face as the extra arms changed. One turned into chainsaw, another into a flamethrower, while the last two turned into claws. Neji felt himself freeze, and a cloud passed over the stadium. When it's shadow reached Naruto, his eyes glowed yellow, and the creeper heads came out.
Neji nearly pissed himself at the sight, and as Naruto slowly walked, the stadium was dead silent, but when the cloud passed, the creeper heads vanished, and Naruto struck. Using a normal arm, he summoned another chain, and wrapped it around Neji's waist, pulling him in, using the claws, he grabbed Neji's shoulders, and aimed the flamethrower at his chin, the chainsaw at his waist. Naruto smirked and said, "Any last words?" Neji paled, but grabbed a flash bomb from his pocket, and detonated it in Naruto's face, Neji being spared the flash because he shut his eyes and his Byakugan. Naruto dropped Neji, and thought, 'That son of a bitch! I'm gonna tear him apart! Deva path!'
Naruto glared at Neji, and got an idea. He then smirked and said, "You hyuuga and your pride, it's almost sinful. Not the first sin this village caused either." Neji glared as he tried to pick himself up, and said, "What are you talking about deadlast? This village is,' Naruto cut him off, "Oh but it has. Have you ever looked at the uniforms for the Chunin and Jonin of this village? Ever see the little spiral that decorates them?"
Many of the chunin and jonin looked at their uniforms, and saw what he meant. On each of their uniforms, they saw the spiral, and Naruto continued, "That spiral is a symbol, a symbol of a long since passed alliance this village had with another." Sarutobi was starting to feel uneasy, as Naruto continued, "That village, was Uzushiogakure, the Village hidden in the whirlpool. And the home of my clan, the Uzumaki." Naruto closed his eyes, and continued, "About a couple decades ago, Uzushio was in line to become the sixth great ninja village, with their power over seals and water ninjutsu, it wasn't hard in those days. Unfortunately, the other villages had a problem with this, namely Iwa. At the time, Konoha had an alliance with Uzushio, but one day, the alliance was cut, right before Iwa lead an invasion and destroyed Uzushio!"
Many of the Chunin looked shocked, and many of the jonin gave Naruto a sympathetic look, while the rookie genin looked on in shock. Naruto snarled as he said, "It was only by luck that my mother, Kushina Uzumaki was sent to this village before the attack, I wasn't even aware of what happened to my clan until I went to the village itself." Neji then got to his feet as he said, "No doubt they were weak, if they needed help, a clan of deadlasts no doubt." He froze as a large amount of killer intent erupted, and Naruto clenched his fists as he said, "My family has deeper ties to this village then you know."
Naruto then continued, "After all, The wife of our Shodaime, Hashirama Senju, was Mito Uzumaki. She was the first jinchuriki of the Kyuubi." This caused many in the stands to gasp, but Naruto continued, "But she wasn't the last. Near the end of her life, a girl from my clan was chosen to harbor the Kyuubi. It was only because of our special chakra that allowed her to do so. Her name, was Kushina Uzumaki. My mother, was the second jinchuriki." Now the civilians were starting to be afraid, while the jonin felt a pang of sadness, as Kushina was very much loved by the ninja of the village. Anko choked by tears, as did Kurenai, and while hidden, a Neko masked anbu nearly cried. Naruto glared out at the civilians and said, "But that's not all. On the day of my birth, a man in a mask attacked my father and mother while they were hidden away, and during the attack, he took the Kyuubi from my mother, and set it on the village!"
Everyone was on edge, civilian and ninja alike, as the ninja were starting to piece things together. Shikamaru in particular said, "Oh shit." Neji felt frozen on his feet as Naruto said, "My father fought the masked man, as well as Kyuubi, and with his last moments on this earth, summoned the Shinigami to seal the beast within me! My father, is your beloved Yondaime!"
A pin drop could be heard, and, as if to hit the final nail, Naruto said, "You fools, you praise my father's name, and yet damn my own. Hypocrites! But that's not the worst of it!" He pointed toward the kage box, directly at Sarutobi, as he said, "He was the one to hide it! He hid my family from me, he hid what my father did from me." Neji merely scoffed, "If it happened, then fate deemed it so."
Naruto shook his head clear, and said, "You little prick, I have had enough of you! Your hour of judgment has arrived!" Naruto vanished, and Neji felt his chest nearly imploded from the force of Naruto's punch, and it sent him skyward. Neji merely looked down at the ground. He thought, 'Am I truly going to die here?'
He then heard the shout of "Bansho Ten'in! (Heavenly Attraction of all Creation)" Neji felt a pull on his body, and his face met with Naruto's fist, causing him to crash into the ground, his mind far from conscious. Naruto smirked as he picked up his cloak and slipped it back on, the arms from the Asura path having already disappeared. Naruto merely thought to himself, 'Why do I always seem to get angry easier when I use the Asura path?' Shaking his head clear, he heard Genma call him as the winner of the match, while many in the stands were speechless. A pair of eyes slowly sank into the ground as the figure thought, 'Leader-sama will want to know of his progress.' He heard Jackie laugh as he said, "God damn kid, that was a good one! The whole 'eyes of god' thing was a great touch!"
Naruto smirked as he thought, 'It wasn't just a touch, the story of the Rinnegan basically has it as the eyes of god. I just used it.' Jackie nodded as he said, "Nicely done kid. I couldn't have done it better myself."
Sakura and the other rookies merely stared in awe, until Kiba shouted, "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!" Kin giggled and said, "That, was the Rinne'gan. Naruto-koi's kekkei genkai. Because he can't use the Darkness in places like this, he used the Rinne'gan." Shikamaru nodded, understanding. Ino merely had a large blush on her face at the thought of the extra arms. Sakura merely scoffed and said, "The freak got lucky." She froze in fear as everyone near her was shooting her a death glare. Kin was shooting her the worst, as she said, "I knew I should of killed you in that forest." Gai and Lee arrived in time to see the end of the match, and Lee asked, "Who was the youthful one to defeat Neji?"
Kin smirked and said, "That would be Naruto-koi." Lee and Gai merely gawked at Naruto's new appearance.
Hiashi sighed and said, "I hope it changed Neji for the better. And perhaps, now I can give him what I should have long ago." Hanabi had a look of fear mixed with admiration, and it made Hiashi worry.
Anko could only laugh at Kurenai's red face, and she said, "Man Kure-chan, you must be thinking of Naruto-kun's extra arms huh?" Kurenai's blush grew worse, and Karin said, "Oh? And how do we know you're not doing the same thing Anko-sensei? And besides, when did it become Naruto-kun, huh?" Anko had the decency to blush, knowing Karin was using the same words she herself used a month ago. Kurenai merely chuckled at her friend's distress, and said, "Never took you as the kind to like younger men." Anko merely pouted and said, "No fair Kure-chan, you too?" Karin merely giggled as she left for the fighter's box.
Naruto heard the crowd starting to cheer as he walked up the stairs. To his surprise, he saw Gaara standing on one of the landings. He was speaking with a pair of rain ninja, who were, as far as Naruto could tell, were telling Gaara that he had to lose. Naruto saw the sand come out of Gaara's gourd and crush the rain nin, despite them trying to run away. Naruto could hear the Darkness say, "HMMMMM, ThAt GiRl KnOwS HoW To Be RuThLeSs." Naruto shook his head and thought, 'You must have gone senile, Gaara-san is a boy.' He heard it chuckle, and Jackie told him, 'It may be a pain in the ass, but I think he's right on this one.' Naruto shook his head, and saw Gaara looking right at him.
Naruto kept an impassive face as he said, "Is there something I can help you with?" Gaara stood as still as a statue, and 'he' said, "Mother is terrified of you. She screams at me, even now, to run as far away from you as possible." Naruto merely asked, "Then why don't you?" Gaara took a slow step forward, bits of sand crumbling off. "Something compels me to do otherwise. I'm not sure what it is." Naruto let a tint of red cross his face as more sand crumbled off Gaara's form. Short red hair fell away to shoulder length, and the lithe male figure gave way to petite feminine.
Naruto's blush grew as Gaara was inches from his face, and she said, "You interest me, my heart races when I see you, I don't know why." Naruto could hear Jackie laugh as he said, "Jesus kid, the little crazy likes you!" Naruto pushed the words away as he felt Gaara leaning against him. Naruto heard her say, "This feeling in my chest, it's so warm, I don't wanna move away."
Naruto sighed and said, "Don't you have a match to get to?" Gaara shook her head and said, "I don't care about that." Naruto sighed and said, "But the natives might get restless before the 'main event', now won't they?" Gaara looked at him in shcok, and Naruto said, "I've had my friends watching the village while I was gone. I know all about Oto and Suna's invasion. I will give you and your siblings one choice, aid my village, or fall.' He then cupped Gaara's cheek, making her blush, 'I wouldn't want to put down someone like you." He then walked away, saying, "And by the way, don't kill the Uchiha, I want to prove how worthless the Sharingan is." Gaara dumbly nodded and she made her way to the arena.
Sarutobi saw Gaara arrive in the arena, but saw that Sasuke had yet to arrive. One of the jonin next to him whispered in his ear, "Sir, we have yet to find the whereabouts of Sasuke Uchiha. Is it possible he fell into Orochimaru's hands?" Sarutobi shook his head lightly, though a voice from behind them said, "I wouldn't think so, ya old monkey." Sarutobi and the 'Kazekage' turned and saw Naruto sitting on the railing, the cloak blowing in the wind.
Sarutobi let out a sigh, and said, "There have been things I've been meaning to ask you, like where you went, and how you gained the Rinne'gan." Naruto gave him a glare, which put even the four hidden sound nin and Orochimaru on edge, as he said, "You lie to me about my family, and then you think I'll tell you anything? Fat chance, let's see how you like being in the dark for once. And as for the uchiha, he's with Kakashi, no doubt they'll show up late just for drama."
The 'Kazekage' turned to Sarutobi and said, "Perhaps we could postpone the match? Alot of the Daimyo have come to see it." Naruto scoffed and said, "Right, and if you actually postpone it, it'll give the little shitstain a bigger ego.' He let an evil smirk cross his face, 'In fact. Let him compete, but not against Gaara-san. Have him fight me instead. A fight between two Doujutsu users would be far more exciting, right? Not to insult Gaara-san of course." Gaara, who heard the whole thing, blushed lightly.
Orochimaru was thinking a mile a minute, they raced even more when he saw that Sarutobi was thinking about it. 'Interesting, the Rinne'gan, and that strange power, no doubt a mere genjutsu, I have yet to see how powerful Naruto truly is. Perhaps this could work, he would be a better measuring stick, and Gaara would be fresh for the invasion.' "Perhaps he has a point Hokage-sama. A fight between Doujutsu users would be more entertaining." Sarutobi sighed, and spoke to the jonin next to him, "You heard it, inform Genma." The jonin bowed and whispered the order into Genma's ear, who then said, "Due to Sasuke Uchiha's absence, he will be disqualified from the exams.' He heard a lot of the civilians start to boo, but he continued, 'However, by the request of Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke will be allowed to fight in an exhibition match at the end of the exam, but under no circumstances will he be promoted."
Sakura screeched in outrage, until Kin gave her a harsh hit to the back of the head. Kiba slowly took his hands away from his bleeding ears, and said, "Damn, thanks for knocking her out, pretty sure she blew my ear drums." He looked down at his hands and said, "Fuck, she did." He then passed out, causing Shikamaru to sigh and say, "What the hell? Well, at least I'm not dealing with any of this." He then noticed Naruto speaking to Gaara as the duo went up the steps.
Naruto smiled as he said, "Alright, I was able to buy you some time. You should let your ninja know that you've been screwed with." She looked at him with a wide eyed stare as he said, "The guy sitting in the booth up there, in the Kazekage robes, smells of snakes and mud. Last I heard, there's no mud in the desert, making me believe that Orochimaru not only killed your kage, but stole his image." He noticed she still had a blank look on her face, and he snapped his fingers in front of her face, making her shake her head clear and blush in embarrassment. She asked, "How do you know that?" Naruto smirked and walked deeper into the dark hallway, multiple pairs of yellow eyes looking out from his shadow as he said, "I told you before, I have eyes everywhere. And my little friends here have no problem tearing through shinobi, Oto and Suna alike. It's why i'm giving you this chance." Gaara nodded, and heard Kankuro shout, "I FORFEIT!"
Naruto sighed and said, "Looks like he'll do it, let him know about what's going on." Gaara blushed and said, "Why are you doing this? Giving my village this chance?" Naruto sighed and said, "Because I know that the daimyo of wind country has been sending Konoha missions that we shouldn't be getting. No doubt Orochimaru fed your kage some story of revenge to get back at us for it. Your village was just an instrument for Orochimaru to play, I'd be a hypocrite if I got angry at you. Now get going, if you move now we might be able to turn the tide." Gaara nodded, and naruto said, "And perhaps, after all of this is said and done, I could help you with you tanuki problem." Naruto walked up to the fighter's box, leaving a blushing girl behind. Said girl quickly pulled herself together and vanished via shunshin to warm the Suna ninja.
Naruto stood behind Karin as she said, "That was a great fight Naruto-koi, I have to admit, even though you only got those paths down, you made great work with them." Naruto smirked as he said, "I only had time for three, even with shadow clones." Karin noticed Temari waiting for her down on the arena floor, so she said, "Looks like I have to go, i'll make it last as long as possible." Naruto smirked as Karin left the box, and Shino asked, "That was quite impressive Naruto-san. Though, i'm certain you would of used that blade of yours if it were a little less bright out, wouldn't you?"
Naruto grinned and said, "Exactly Shino. I would have. But making everyone in the leaf remember Uzushiogakure was fun." Shino nodded, and turned to the match down below. Karin was using chains similar to the ones Naruto did, using them as whips the try and catch Temari. Temari was using her fan to do her title of Wind mistress justice, blasting the chains away. She let a smirk cross her face, which was wiped away when a chain wrapped around her from behind, and she quickly turned to see a second Karin, and she said, "Shadow clone. You distracted me, while your clone hid." Karin adjusted her glasses, and said, "Of course, though, I'd give up if I were you. I could have those chains grow spikes, they'd tear you apart." Temari noticed the spikes slowly growing on the chains, and she quickly said, "I forfeit!" Genma nodded and said, "Winner, Karin Uzumaki!" The shinobi cheered, as they remembered Kushina's chakra chains, and were proud to see them. Karin caused them to disperse, and she said, "Well that was fun." Temari gave her a slight glare, but saw that Karin was already gone.
Naruto sighed and said, "Looks like i'm up again." Shino nodded and said, "It would seem so. Though Gaara-san seems a bit odd. Well, odder then usual." Naruto smirked, and said, "Perhaps." He then shocked them by jumping over the railing, and he slide down the wall, the cloak billowing behind him. He kicked off the wall and landed on the ground, it seemingly rising up to meet him. Gaara appeared in a swirl of sand, her expression a calm one, and Naruto noticed her giving him a subtle thumbs up, and he smirked. Genma looked at them both, and was about to call the match until something happened.
A large amount of wind picked up in the center of the arena, and coiled into one spot. Two figures stood back to back, something many scoffed at considering the fights beforehand. Kakashi stood in his usual garb, while Sasuke wore a black one piece jumpsuit, designed after his old clothes, his arms covered with multiple belts and medical tape. Kakashi merely turned to Genma and asked, "Are we late?" Genma glared at him and said, "Yes you are, we're in the semi-finals now. His match was done over an hour ago."
Kakashi had a shocked look, shown by his visible eye widening, and Sasuke said, "I demand to have my match! I am an Uchiha!" Genma gave a glare as he said, "If you wanted it so badly, you should have been here on time for it. The fact that you are carrying on like this is disgraceful. Not only to us as a village in front of so many VIPs, but to your clan. How would they react to seeing you act like a spoiled brat."
Naruto started to laugh, and Kakashi turned to him, and froze as he took in his new appearance. "Naruto! Is that you? What the hell happened?" Naruto smirked, and said, "I learned about my clan. Now if you'll excuse, get the fuck out f here, before I send you and your little butt buddy flying." Sasuke snarled and said, "FIGHT ME!" Naruto waved his finger, as if talking to a naughty child and he said, "Oh we will, but not just yet. Now then, in the mean time, I have a match, and you are standing in the way." Sasuke tried to charge at Naruto, only for Kakashi to grab his shoulder and shake his head. Sasuke scoffed and the duo vanished via shunshin.
Naruto sighed and said, "My apologies Gaara-chan, but ignorance must be broken. So sad." Gaara blushed as she said, "Yes. Now then, shall we give these people a show?" Naruto grinned, and got into an odd stance. (horse stance) Genma saw that they were ready, and said, "Alright, the match between Gaara Sabaku and Naruto Namikaze shall now begin!"
Kakashi nearly had a heart attack as he stood in the stands, and he said, "What did he just say? Please tell me this is a joke?" Anko turned to him with a fierce glare, making him cringe. She then got in his face, her face taking a very evil and snake like appearance, as she said, "You think it's a joke! You bastard!" Kurenai grabbed her before she could harm the scarecrow, but Anko still ranted, "You piece of shit! First you neglect his training for that cock sucking homo you call an Uchiha, then you have the nerve to talk down about his family! Who the fuck do you think you are!" Kakashi glared and said, "I would know if my sensei had a son."
Anko tried harder to get out of Kurenai's grip, prompting other jonin to try and hold her back. Kakashi felt a tap on his shoulder, and when he turned, he felt a fist hit him square in the face. He looked around, but no one saw who did it. No one noticed a cloud passing by overhead when it happened.
Naruto was moving out of the way of Gaara's sand, making Sasuke seeth as he said, "It should be me fighting down there. Not that deadlast." Kiba scoffed and said, "Cool it emo, you'll get your shot." Sasuke turned and said, "What do you mean by that!" Kiba grinned and said, "If you were here you would know, Naruto talked the Sandaime into allowing you to fight, only after the whole thing is over, and against him. And after what happened to Neji, I wouldn't like it." Sasuke scoffed and said, "Please, that deadlast can't compare to me." Everyone merely shook their head at him.
Naruto smirked and raised his arms, making a slab of earth rise up and act as a wall, the sand slamming against it. Gaara looked around, trying to find him, and she heard, "Funny thing about these eyes, gives me control over the five affinities, and sub affinities. Nature manipulation is as easy as a flick of the wrist." She turned and the sand lunged at him, and he parted the sand as it reached him. "Sand is earth and wind mixed together." Gaara started to show fear in her eyes. "You, you can stop my sand? No one has ever been able to stop my sand except my father." She started to shake, and she said, "I forfeit." Genma sighed and said, "Winner, Naruto Namikaze!" Gaara vanished in a swirl of sand, and Naruto followed.
Gaara stood in a hallway away from the fighter's box, her bijuu screaming at her, "He's able to kill you! You should of taken him down when you had the chance!" She tried to shake her head clear, and she thought, 'No, I won't! I can't! He's been nice to me, I won't!' "'aving a bit of trouble with your demon, ain't ya poppet?" She turned around, trying to find the source of the voice. "Down 'ere!" She looked down, and saw what looked like a monkey. She backed away, and tried to attack it with the sand, only for it to reappear everytime.
Jakku laughed and said, "Easy 'here poppet! I work for the boss! Did ya warn the others?" Gaara nodded, and Jakku said, "Perfect, i'll let the boys know not to attack any of the Suna guys. Be seeing ya around!" He then vanished, leaving her shaking.
Genma stood on the field as he called, "Will Shino Aburame and Karin Uzumaki come down for your match?" Shino merely looked over at Karin, and he noticed his Kikaichu beetles shirking away a bit. He then turned and said, "I won't be able to fight her, as my beetles are useless. I must forfeit." Genma nodded, and said, "Alright then, then onto the final match, Naruto Namikaze and Karin Uzumaki, please come down to the arena floor." Karin and Naruto smirked, and Karin said, "But I'm afraid I can't, if I do i'll get beaten, wouldn't want that." Genma, and most of the crowd had a tic mark, though Karin merely laughed it off. In the stands, Kin sighed and said, "Why am I not surprised."
Genma sighed and then said, "Winner by forfeit, Naruto Namikaze. This concludes the finals of the Chunin exams. And now ladies and gentlemen, we will move on to an exhibition match. Will Naruto Namikaze and Sasuke Uchiha please come down to the arena floor."
Sasuke appeared in a swirl of leaves, while Naruto walked out of entrance way. Sasuke smirked and said, "Ready to lose, deadlast?" Naruto smirked and said, "That's something I should say to you. If you had been on time, you would of seen me take down Neji. But a fool like you certainly wouldn't understand." Sasuke scoffed and said, "As if loser, I'll make you kneel as you should be." Naruto sighed and said, "Sasuke, play those games with Kakashi, because unlike you, I have ladies waiting for me to finish." Many of the women in the stands blushed at the innuendo, and Anko had a small nosebleed from the images in her head.
Genma snapped himself out of it as he said, "Alright, let the exhibition match, BEGIN!" He jumped back as Sasuke charged forward, kunai in hand. Naruto smirked and whipped out a chain, wrapping it around Sasuke's arms and pulling it in the direction of his charge, making him trip and fall. Naruto let a smirk cross his face as Sasuke tried to get up, only for him to smirk and channel lightning into the chain, thinking it would shock Naruto. Naruto smirked as he let go of the chain, making it disperse as it was made of chakra. Sasuke felt his blood boil as he activated his sharingan, and charged forward, going faster then before.
Gai looked shocked as he turned to Kakashi and said, "You didn't!" Sakura asked, "What do you mean? What did Kakashi sensei do?" Gai shook his head and said, "Kakashi copied Lee's taijutsu and taught it to Sasuke." Gai sent Kakashi a rare glare, thought the scarecrow merely brushed it off, and said, "Sasuke needed the speed boost to face Gaara. Lee didn't have the ninjutsu needed to win, Sasuke does." The other jonin gave Kakashi a fierce glare, causing the scarecrow to shirk away.
Naruto saw Sasuke charge, and said two words that caused tension in the stands, "Asura path." Sasuke smirked as he 'appeared' in front of Naruto in a flash of speed, only for Naruto to punch him in the stomach, and grab him him with two mechanical arms that sprouted out from under his cloak. Sasuke struggle to break free, only to feel pain in his chest as another pair of arms sprouted, punching him square in the chest. Naruto dropped Sasuke as he coughed on the ground. "Feel ready to give up Uchiha? I can go all day, you can't." Sasuke glared at him and said, "Screw you you clanless freak! Unlike you, I come from a noble clan in this village! The Uchiha are the elite!"
Naruto snarled as he grabbed Sasuke by the neck, and he shouted, "NOBLE! NOBLE! WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE! How dare you! You dare call me a clanless freak, yet I have a Doujutsu just like you, but unlike yours, mine has REAL POWER! DEVA PATH! The extra arms fell away, and He pointed his palm right at Sasuke's face, and said, "Shinra, tensei!" Sasuke was blasted back, right into the stadium walls, and into blissful unconsciousness. Naruto scoffed and said, "Pathetic. So much for the elite." Genma sighed, and said, "Winner, Naruto Namikaze!"
Stunned silence filled the arena, as many thought that the 'Uchiha elite' would beat the 'deadlast'. Many were reassessing themselves. The silence did not last, as explosions rang out through the village. Naruto smirked and thought, 'The invasion has begun. Time to make you suffer before you die, Orochimaru.'
A/N: ANNNNNNDDDDDD DONE! Holy shit I had some nasty writer's block on a few parts of this. I bet I fucked with your minds huh? And before anyone says anything, yes, I used Bending as a source for Nature manipulation. But think about it, what is bending away? Manipulation of nature. And with the Rinne'gan, and say, a thousand shadow clones a day, not that hard to get things down. Cheap and over used, yes, but still works. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in either review or PM. Until next time, you know what to do, REVIEW!
