Hey guys! Sorry it took so long to make a new chapter but I've been extremely busy and well it's a bit emotional in my family at the moment because of reasons I think none of you should be privy to….
Currently there is a poll on my profile for what pairings and well I won't disregard the reviews of the pairings so for you lucky people to have voted on the review, will get two votes if you do it on the poll as well. DON'T put pairings as reviews after this chapter because I won't count them to the Toll!
Anyway I'll carry on with the fic now and I'm sorry!
Confrontation!
"You were never loved!" "The Hokage never liked you!" "You're a demon that no one can Love!"
The voices seemed to come from everywhere and every corner of this dark, damp and lonely Room. The room had no windows and no doors only four walls that vaguely could be seen through the darkness of what seemed like an abyss, the flooring was hard and cold like the earth itself had died along with the void that was the room.
"Why are you saying this?" was the response that came from the only living thing in the room. A blonde haired boy no older than what seemed to be 6 was lying on the cold, hard floor staring into the darkening void of what he believed to be the roof. Voices were attacking him from inside the darkness as he embraced the cold and calculated comments that were hitting him hard on a mental level.
"The Ichiraku's are glad they no longer have to put up with you!" was the one voice that struck the hardest in our blonde Hero, he lay there, with tears streaming down his face and his bright blue pools of never ending ocean had died. Now his eyes were dead, no life or happiness was seen in his now growingly cold eyes as tears poured down his face and of the side of his cheeks. His eyes were changing slightly, though he couldn't tell, they changed to complete steel silver with a tiny black triangle in the middle with four concentric rings surrounding the tiny triangle. The strangest part was that from the triangle, 3 circular spikes shot out and seemed to start spinning wildly and stayed within the confines of the first concentric circle.
His eye sight blurred for a minute before the darkness of the pitch black room seemed to brighten up, it kept brightening up and after a few seconds he could see the entire room as if the sun was shining through a none existent window. He saw nothing in the room, however, that changed when a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes appeared out of thin air and started chanting comments that further attacked the blonde mentally.
"I'll never love you, you are delusional to think that I like you!" she then continued "Actually, I hate you! More than words can describe."
It was at that moment another girl appeared out of thin air only this time was had red vibrant hair and dark red eyes with slits in them (A/N: 1 guess who!) appeared just like the last girl.
"I only took pity on you when I first saw you because you were weak!" "I've never cared for you and never will!" was the only words she said before the Blonde haired boy broke down into sobs of hysterics. It was at that time the room started shaking and a small yet angelic voice could be heard.
"N….ruto…..Wa…e….up…Na…..r…to"
Then his eyes shot open to the find the ever so dark sky with stars shining brightly and the moons luminescent grow covering the clearing that he was in.
He regained his bearings and sat up with tears noticeable on his cheeks, his wild unruly red, spiky hair shooting out into different directions and the bangs on the side of his face still in their normal position. The only thing different about the boys appearance was his eyes had changed from purple to steely silver with the triangle and circular spikes still in place.
He looked around and found a hand on his shoulder; the hand was a creamy colour as was her arm that followed as he traced the hand to the owner. The red haired girl from the dream was kneeling over our blonde hero with worry and concern visible in her fiery pools for eyes. Her red hair travelled down half way to mid back still holding its silky and smooth look and texture, her face was angelic like it was made to be an angel and her body was the perfect hour glass shape that women could only dream for. She wore a red Kimono with pictures of foxes on the arms and back. He stared at her before slightly cowering away because of his dream about her, she say him squirming out of her grip and this little act saddened her but all she could do was bring him closer and hold him until he calmed down.
"Y..Yo…You were there. You said that you never cared for me and called me weak! Why did you call me weak Natsumi" Naruto said through a strained voice
She looked him in the eyes in disbelief, never once had she called him weak or even said she never cared for him. Then she understood, it was the dream he just had that brought him to this, so she ever so lightly whispered soothing words into his ear until he calmed down enough to talk
"Naruto, I've always cared for you. I can safely say that you are the only person I have ever truly cared for in my life." She said with a small tingle of pink marrying her cheeks as she said it
Naruto stared at her for a minute or two before hugging her and apologizing for thinking his first friend had never cared
"I…I'm so, so, so, so very sorry Natsumi. I really am, it just seemed so life like and real that I freaked out." He said as his conscious slowly started drifting again as she played with his hair and held him close.
Her only response before he fell asleep was "It's Ok Naruto, It's Ok because I….i…L….Love you!" However, Naruto was already asleep by the time she confessed. So she made it her job to make sure he knew by the end of the Chunin exams as she lay there with her back against a tree and his head on her lap as she played with his hair before falling asleep.
(Three days Later)
Konohagakure no sato was the epitome of happiness and joy. The trees were as green as ever, the flowers were blossoming and all the Villagers and Ninja were especially excited when they realised it was one day until the Chunin exams. One particular Ninja was exceptionally happy, why you might ask? Well, Hiruzen Sarutobi was happy because Konoha had been given the Chunin exams to hold and his favourite surrogate grandchild was coming back to participate. Hiruzen's mood was one of a child's that just got a new toy.
Currently Sarutobi was stood in the Window of his office looking over his mighty village with the biggest grin plastered on his face, Today was the day, Today everything would change for him, Today was the day he would see him…Naruto!
(Outside the Gates of Konoha)
At the Gates of Konoha two teams both sporting Kumo headbands were casually walking up to the eternal Chunin gat guards for the village.
Both teams had two girls and one boy, on one team there were two dark skinned genin, one is a young, dark-skinned Kumo-nin with short, spiky, white hair and dark eyes accentuated with lines curving upwards from the corners. He wears a dark outfit consisting of an overlong shirt with a hood, with red bandage hand guards, Kumogakure shin guards, and a black forehead protector. While the other is a dark-skinned kunoichi with long red hair and amber eyes and wears a long, short-sleeved dress with frilly edges complete with the Kumogakure flak jacket, two simple yellow earrings, fishnet stockings, thigh-high boots with white soles and a forehead protector which she wears like a bandanna. She also carries a long sword on her back. The last team mate is a fair-skinned woman of tall stature who is wearing a stoic, aloof expression on her face. She has blue eyes and straight, blonde hair framing her face cut in an asymmetrical bob style with the front bangs reaching her shoulders. She wears a very low-cut outfit which displays her sizeable cleavage, with mesh armour underneath, a short skirt and red hand guards, high boots, and what appears to be a modified Kumogakure flak jacket that covers her stomach only, similar to a girdle. She also has a tantō strapped horizontally to her lower back.
The other team was a red haired girl named Natsumi while her team mates were Yugito Nii and the blonde hero that Hiruzen was talking about…Naruto, however, his steely silver eyes had changed and were now the bright blue pools of the ocean and not spiky or circular in anyway.
They strolled up to the gate guards and handed them their ID's for the Chunin exams and Naruto was under a fake alias of Akihiko Natsu.
The Gate guards let them past so they all entered the village and found a Hotel that they could stay in. They were all about to leave for something to eat when they were surrounded by Anbu guards.
"Naruto Uzumaki, Lord Hokage wants to see you!" The Anbu with a bear mask demanded
Naruto's only response was "I don't see a Naruto here, my name is Akihiko Natsu and I don't have to see your Hokage as he isn't my Hokage."
The Bear masked Anbu was starting to get enraged and decided that he would force the 'Genin' to come weather he wanted to or not. So thinking he was some super big bad Anbu elite decided to charge the red haired boy who didn't move and inch. As soon as the Anbu was within touching distance, Naruto Vanished and with a quick fluent chop to the back of the Anbu's neck knocked him out. By the course of this happening, Natsumi and Yugito looked ready to move in and team Samui would join in if needed, but it was then that all four Anbu jumped the red haired boy and Shunshin'd to the Hokage mansion. Natsumi and Yugito were about to follow and demand they release 'Akihiko' when Samui placed a hand on their shoulders and whispered something only they could hear "If he is in danger, he would blow where ever he is up….Remember with Killer Bee when they were surrounded by 30 missing Nin? Naruto levelled the whole clearing into a 20 metre pit."
After hearing those words, the two girls calmed down, but not much and went to find a stall that sold food.
(At Hokage Mansion)
The Hokage was sat behind his desk with four Anbu knocked out on the floor and a stoic looking Naruto staring at him from the chair.
"Well they didn't last long, did they Naruto?" Hiruzen stated with a dead serious face before he and Naruto burst into laughter
"I've missed you Ojiji, you and a few others were the only ones that really cared for me here," Naruto said with a grin on his face before continuing "So where is Anko, Kurenai and Yamato anyway jiji?"
Hiruzen stopped laughing and started talking again "I've missed you too Naruto, these last three years have been boring and to answer your question, Kurenai has been training her Genin team that will be participating in the Chunin exams so you will see her there, Anko is the second Proctor for the Chunin exams so you will see her too and Yamato is outside." As if on cue, Yamato walked through the door with an exhausted expression on his face and glaring at the floor as he started talking
"Hokage-sama, I've finished the new clearing with Mokuton for Kakashi's Genin team after it was destroyed." He then looked up and saw something that made his heart skip a beat. His surrogate little brother was standing there was a foxy grin on his face as he also started talking
"Want some help Yamato-Nii-san with the Mokuton Business."
Yamato stood there like a gaping fish as words wouldn't leave his mouth "N…Na…Naruto, Is that you?" he asked in disbelief
Naruto acted hurt with what he just said "I'm Hurt Yama-nii-san, I've come here for the Chunin exams and my older brother doesn't even recognise m-"he was cut off by a flying Yamato that picked Naruto up into a bear hug, slowly but surely suffocating Naruto.
"Naruto, I can't believe it's you. How have you been?" asked a slightly teary Yamato
"Well Yama-niisan, I've been great, I've been training with my Sensei's and overall living life to the full. BUT, I'm A Kumo ninja know so my loyalty only lies with the few people that I cared for here and Kumogakure and the Raikage." He said in an assertive tone
Yamato flinched slightly when he said he was a Kumo ninja but was also very proud that his little brother wouldn't leave a village he was sworn to protect. (I know Naruto left Konoha, but that wasn't him. He fell unconscious and was taken, so he could have left but know he has lived in Kumo….A place that wanted him, which he didn't want to come back.)
Hiruzen nodded at his resolve before remembering that the council had requested a meeting with young Naruto Uzumaki.
"Naruto, The council have requested a meeting and have asked for you to be there."
"Well I guess I've got nothing left to lose." He said as he sighed and followed Hiruzen out of the room and said his good byes to his Niisan.
(Council Meeting Room)
The council were in uproar…Well, the Civilian side and elders were anyway. The Ninja side either didn't care or wanted the blond boy to live a happy life.
The Ninja side of the council consisted of all the major clan heads; The Inuzuka, Hyuuga(Sp?), Yuhi, Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi, Aburame, Kohaku, Sarutobi and Kurama. While the Civilian side consisted of no names really, like Haruno etc… (Off topic a little)
And the three trusted councillors, Danzo, Homura and Koharu,
As if on cue, 'The Professor' and 'Akihiko' had entered the chamber and successful quietened everyone present.
Hiruzen took his seat before Hiashi Hyuuga spoke up "I thought Naruto Uzumaki had the Rinnegan? So this isn't Naruto Uzumaki, Hokage-sama."
Hiruzen eyed Hiashi before answering nonchalantly but was also curios "I assure you Hiashi-san that this is Naruto Uzumaki and I'm also intrigued as to why you haven't got the Rinnegan?" asked the Sarutobi
Naruto chuckled and replied in a monotone and bored demeanour "Yes Hiashi, I am indeed Naruto Uzumaki and as for my Doujutsu….. Lets just say some 'things' occurred and allowed me to turn it on an off at will." He then shrugged "I'm not showing any of you because 1) the civilians will gets pissy and say the Kyuubi is taking over and 2) the Elders will demand me to stay and use me as a man Whore…..or Breeding stock" he said through stifles of giggles.
Danzo stood up enraged that the boy had the decency to insult the elders. "You boy will show respect when infront of the Council!" he seethed
The boy in question glared at him before smirking and replying "Danzo-KUN, Respect is a two way street and the way I see it, Its earned not given. I will only respect those who deserve it and My sensei's."
Danzo was livid now, but seeing his chance at humiliating the boy by asking who his Sensei's were because he was weak and needed two decided to pipe up "Who are your sensei's boy. Are you that weak that you need two?" he grinned
"Well you can ask him yourself, he is over in the right hand side of the room." He said as he grinned playfully as a shadow made him known but was still only a silhouette.
Everyone was shocked bar Naruto because they never sensed anyone in the room apart from the people present. Danzo was about to call his 'ROOT' Anbu to arrest the man and the Villagers were seething in anger now, but where all silenced by the powerful commanding voice that was given off by the silhouette. "Now, now people, I only came to inspect my student's progress in the Chunin exams. I must say, I'm a little disappointed in the crop this year." He said smugly, mush to the annoyance of the clans and Danzo because their kids were this years 'crop' "I doubt even with your precious 'Uchiha', that and all of this year's Genin could fight Naruto at full strength." He said while laughing
It was at this point Hiashi lost his cool and flared his Byakugan to see the man; however, he came up short because it looked as though the man wasn't there at all, only the Silhouette of the man he saw with his normal eyes.
"Tsk…tsk…tsk… Hiash-kun, you didn't think I'd let the 'Almighty, All-seeing Byakugan' see me now did you?" he asked in a playful manner
"I don't know who you think you are, but this is a private meeting for the Village. If you don't leave now, I Will force you!" Danzo retorted as Hiashi dropped his Byakugan and the people present in the council hall were sickly quiet.
It was a minute or two of glaring between the figure shrouded in darkness and the council before a cough broke their musing
"Well…If that is all can I go?" Naruto asked innocently
The hokage just nodded and Naruto was on his way out when Danzo decided to be 'Almighty Village patriot' "Hiruzen you can't let the boy leave! He has a Kekkei Genkai that could secure our place on the top!" It was just then that the hall dropped in temperature by 30 degrees. All of the temperature drop radiating of the blond haired Hero.
"I could secure your place on top hmm…I have a Precious Kekkei Genkai huh… Where was your consideration to me being 'Precious' to Konoha when the Villages civilians beat me? Where were you all when I needed someone to help me? Care for me? YOU all were nowhere when I needed it the most! DON'T you DARE say I need to stay in this village because if it weren't for Ojiji, Anko, Kurenai and Yamato, I'd let this whole village burn to the ground!" He shouted and slammed the door on his way out.
All of the council on the ninja side had the decency to look ashamed of what had happened to the boy when most of the time one of them could have done something to help him. The civilians however, were raging and screaming about the boy being a 'Threat' before they were silenced by Hiruzen.
Hiruzen looked happy at the boy because he mentioned him as one of the few that he liked, but was ashamed of his village for what they did to him. It was then that the civilians were moaning about him being a threat and Hiruzen's mind just…Snapped.
"ALL of you QUIET! The boy is not a threat to this village as long as his special people stay here." He then sighed "You all have yourselves to blame for his actions, however, I will give him a chance to join us because this is his birthplace and he wouldn't want it to be destroyed." He finished
All the council nodded to each other before getting dismissed to go back home. While Hiruzen had to fight the Immortal, Fireproof and bane of all Kages…Paperwork.
"For once, why can't you all just BURN!" He screamed as he threw the paperwork stack on the floor and shouted a fire jutsu for it to bounce of the paperwork and hit Hiruzen In the face and leave him with singed faced and hair.
He sat on his floor and cried for all of Konoha to hear.
(Inn)
Crying could be heard all over Konoha as Naruto had just gotten back to the Inn and his room. What Naruto hadn't counted for was that he had spent nearly all day talking to the council and the Hokage that he didn't notice the time as it seemed that it would be a few hours till the sun started rising again for the next day.
He pried open the door slightly to see if Natsumi was in his room, sure enough she laid there on his bed in the most angelic position with her hands interlocked on her chest and the blanket covering her fully.
Naruto just chuckled to himself before stripping off to his night wear and snuck under the quilt and lay neck to Natsumi when he heard slight talking
"I was wondering when you would get back." She whispered and laid her head on his chest and wrapped her arm around his stomach and waist.
"Well I didn't notice the time," he replied sheepishly "But it was worth it for this!" Naruto said as he kissed her forehead before slowly falling in a deep slumber.
(Chunin exams)
They had all been seated and just received the briefing about not cheating and the rules of the exam, as well as the describing of the pointing system.
Before they had been seated, Naruto's team and Team Samui had been standing in the halls with a few teams eying them for potential threats. The two girls from a Team from Kiri had all been drooling over the blond hero because of what he did for their country, and well let's just say…..Some women are attracted to power.
The Genin teams from Konoha were all conversing with an older genin from Konoha called Kabuto. He had been supplying them with info on the competition, but when asked for Naruto Uzumaki, it came up blank (Because that isn't his name in the Chunin exams) and all the other teams just simply didn't care. It was then that a sound Team made their presence known by attacking Kabuto before they were quickly silenced by the Proctor Ibiki.
Now we find our Favourite blond and his red haired companion sat next to each other, with tests filled out and looking like they had fallen asleep. Their other teammate, Yugito, had also finished the test and kept glancing at the blond of her team.
It had been 45 minutes and the test had finished with Ibiki revealing his last question of 'Take or don't take' with your Career of a Ninja on the line.
"Hey Blondie!" Ibiki shouted to Naruto "You could never be able to get higher than Genin ever again if you get the question wrong." He stated
Naruto looked at him impassively before waving him off and answering "Ah well, Its not like rank has anything to do with strength. Sure, it might do to start with, but even a Genin can become a Raikage or Hokage. So it doesn't matter if I don't pass this, I'll still become Raikage!" The blond said as he saw Ibiki's smirk contort into one of anger.
Ibiki looked around the room and saw that after the blond kids declaration that most of the kids had decided to stay. He could only smirk to himself and thought 'there is a good crop this year' before he continued on with his 'speech'
"Well if that's how you all want to be? You all…..Pass!" he said as most of the teams looked pissed but a banner and purple blur shot through the unopened window before hitting the wall head on.
The now revealed women that burst through the window stood straight back up and grinned sadistically "Well hey there Maggots, I'm Anko Maharishi and as the Banner says, 'The young and Sexy Jounin proctor'"
Naruto and Ibiki just sweat dropped before Anko took a good look around the room. "Hey Ibiki, what gives? There are 19 teams here. Are you losing your touch!" she then shrugged "All of you meet me at training ground 44 tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock!" she shouted as she burst into a pile of snakes that soon just 'poof'd' out of existence.
Naruto sighed as everyone got up to leave. He so badly wanted to see his big sister again but couldn't do it here. He made it his ambition to talk to her again tomorrow at the training ground before he was sent a mental message from his Sensei
'Come meet me at the base. I have some training for you.' And with that the voice vanished
Naruto…Sighed once again before telling his team he would be back before tonight and disappeared in a swirl that came out of his eye.
(At the Base)
Naruto had just appeared at the base, just outside of Kumo. He walked down the long hallway before coming into a grass clearing with his sensei looking at him.
His sensei voiced out what he wanted Naruto to know
"Naruto." He said "It's time I taught you how to control your new eyes."
Naruto nodded before activating his steely silver eyes with the circular spikes spinning rapidly.
"Ok, I think it would help if I knew what it was called….Rikudou-sensei."
Dun Dun Dun… How did I do? I thought it was alright of a chapter, but tbh the first bit of the Chunin exams was rushed. But, I hate the first exam anyway, it's so boring and full of talking and mind games that it loses its thrill. Don't worry though, the next three parts to the exam will be action packed and thrilling! (Grins sadistically) I thank the guest for the idea with the council aswell.
Well that's all from me today people and you probs already know but there is a Poll on my profile for you to decide what pairings. If it comes to Harem, I might change the story to Kyuubi and Naruto because Kyuubi is also one of Naruto Sensei's as well as….. In fact I won't tell you what else 'She' is MWHAHAHAHAHA
