AN: Here we are folks chapter 3, Time to reveal some secrets, get some training done and maybe start lighting the flame of Romance. Characters you'll be seeing a lot of in the next two chapters with everyone else is Fem. Kyuubi(I know a lot of you have been waiting for this.), Anko(Oh yeah), Tenten, and Jiraiya. The polls are really starting to tighten and sadly I had to cut the stragglers loos from the Harem: Shion, and Koyuki. To those that wanted to see them I'm sorry but they didn't get enough votes. Don't mope though I might change my mind later on but for now they aren't in the running. No bashing of Sakura from this chapter on folks, but instead we've got some Kakashi bashing this chapter, full blown Orochimaru bashing, and possible Yondaime bashing although I'm not 100% on the last one yet. Also in this chapter we might have possible Hiruzen bashing but only briefly.
Author Shoutouts:
the DragonBard: I though the same but I wanted that sword to be a testament to The original Sesshomaru himself but that doesn't mean that Naruto won't have a weapon of his own creation when he comes fully into his powers. As for his heart, I don't want to reveal more just yet though. As for Sakura trying to get answers from Kakashi, that ain't happening.
KuroYuro: It would be an insult to the legacy that is Jiraiya-sama if he wasn't added to the story.
GenoBeast: Believe me when I say that Naruto isn't done with Neji just yet.
Deathmvp: Kakashi will be good to Naruto and Sakura but not until after the Chunin Exam Arc and before the Sasuke Retrival Arc, remember he basically blew them off during this time for Sasuke's training and that is gonna stay the same.
thanatos's-shadow: That was how it was pronounced during the anime, so I went with it. Watch episode 50 to see what I mean when Gai explains the Ura renge.

Chapter 3- Weapons, Training, and Emerging romance? Part 1
One day later at Konoha's main street just inside the Village Gate
Naruto was heading for home to sleep in his bed after a long day of training for the Finals, when the memory of his conversation with Sakura sprang up in his head not too long ago.
Flashback:Fuin
Naruto had just gotten inside the village gate when he heard a female's voice as they were running to catch up with him, glancing back he saw Sakura as she ran up and hunched over to get her breath back.
"What Haruno?" He asked while turning to give her his full attention even though he'd rather had keep going.
"...Listen, I've been doing some thinking since we were in that forest yesterday and well..."Sakura said with a small look of hurt that he still didn't address her as Sakura-chan anymore but still forged ahead.
"Out with it already, I'd like to get home sometime this century."Naruto said as he looked at Sakura with an indifferent expression that was boarding on annoyance at being held up like this.
"I was wonder if you could help me, get stronger than I am now." Sakura asked in one breath without stopping and if it were anyone else they would ask her to repeat what she said. But Naruto for being around her for so long growing up, he learned to read in between of her speech patterns when she was like this.
"Let me understand this: you want me to help you get stronger? Do I look like the Shinobi section of the library?" Naruto asked getting skeptical at this sudden change of heart in his rosette haired teammate.
"No, and I know I wasn't exactly the friendliest person to you when we were growing up." Sakura started only to get a look from her teammate that said she'd better skip to the point real quick.
"But, your my teammate, if you don't help me than who can I turn to? Kakashi-sensei ran off before I could ask him and Sasuke is in the hospital recovering, so will you help me out?" Sakura reply close to tears as her teammate turned his back to her, she took that as her answer and went to leave only to stop a moment later after hearing what was said next.
"...Haruno, honestly I can't stand you or the Uchiha and would rather end you both to save the world the trouble of dealing with you." This statement caused Sakura to take an unconscious step back as if he was going to attack her.
"However, seeing as I can't do anything about my 'choice' of team for the time being, I offer two small steps in the right direction. First: get rid of your obsession with the Uchiha, it will only bring trouble in trying to make yourself look good for him at the cost of your career as a kunoichi or your life."
"And the second?" Sakura asked while wiping the tears that sat on the edge of her eyes.
"...Study that scroll for chakra exercises tonight and we will try something, meet me tomorrow morning at 7:00 in Training field 7 with you gear. However this is a one time thing, seeing as your predicament was of your own making therefore you'll fix your own shortcomings as a kunoichi." Naruto replied as he tossed a small scroll over his shoulder at the girl before walking off.
Sakura caught the thrown scroll and looked at the retreating back of her blonde haired teammate with a small smile on her face, before he was completely gone she whispered her thanks before taking off for her home.
Naruto just continued on as if he didn't hear her at all.
Flashback: Kai
Naruto reached his rundown apartment in the slummy part of Konoha, and just looked at the building in renewed disgust. The outer walls were an unsightly brown with the pain chipped or eroded badly in certain places, most of the windows had holes in them where rocks and bricks were thrown by the villagers who thought themselves better than the demon they claimed to live here. Naruto had to mentally shake his head at the irony of that one, a demon did reside here now just not one of the kitsune variety.
Wasting no more time he climbed the stairs that lead to his apartment on the second floor and wasn't surprised at what he found as he approached his door. 'DIE DEMON' scrawled in red and black paint was written on his door, 'GO BACK TO HELL WHERE YOU BELONG' was on the opposite wall in what he could smell to be feces. With a practiced speed of handsigns a low powered Suiton: Tepodamma(Water Release: Water Bullet) was shot to remove the offensive message before he stood in front of his door, having taken up Fuinjutsu(Art of Sealing) from a young age Naruto was able to keep people from entering his small sanctuary and destroying his stuff on a regular basis ever again. Not unless they wanted to lose their hand like one poor slob did when he thought he could pry open Naruto's bedroom window to leave a nasty surprise when he found the door not budging despite how hard he kicked at it.
After getting inside and locking his door in place with the seal, Naruto grabbed a shower only to find out that the landlord turned off his hot water again despite the fact that he paid the greedy bitch the night he came home from the first exam. Never the less he washed quickly and got dressed for bed, and just before he laid down to sleep he looked out his window at the village.
"Just 7 more months and I can be free of this accursed place." Naruto thought as he laid down on his pillow and drifted off to sleep. (I bet you're all wondering about that statement. It will be revealed later in the next chapter.)
Next Morning, Training Field 7
Sakura, walked up to training field 7 with sleep still in her eyes, to find Naruto waiting for her while setting crossed leg on the ground meditating. She was about to call out to him when his voice rang out.
"You're late, I said 7:00 not 7:15." Naruto said without opening his eyes
"Sorry my alarm clock didn't wake me up." Sakura said with a blush of embarrassment while looking at Sesshomaru's sitting form.
"Rule 1 of the shinobi world: Never make excuses for your actions, they waste valuable time. Did you look over the scroll I gave you last night?" Naruto replied with a sagely voice as he finally opened his eyes to gaze at his teammate.
Sakura could only nod weakly in silence at how Naruto was taking this entire training seriously, that's why after getting home in a daze last night she made a silent promise to get stronger no matter how difficult and to earn her blonde teammate's respect back.
"Then I want you to start by practice the leaf balancing exercise while running suicides from the lake in groups of ten until you reach one hundred, then you're going to do squats in groups of twenty until you reach one hundred again. You are going to build endurance and leg strength by performing these exercises." Naruto said as he got up and pointed out where Sakura would start her training regiment, when she started to walk off he stopped her before hand.
"Just a minute, You're also going to wear these five pound weights on your arms and legs. By doing this you add muscle resistance; which will strengthen your existing muscles while forming new ones from the training." Naruto added as he unseal a set of four weights for her to wear.
Wordlessly Sakura strapped the weights on which felt weird and proceeded to run the suicides, as Naruto walked over the the lake with a bunch of leaves and stepped out he found his chakra control unstable and surmised that it was in part to that extra seal on his body. Once he got to the middle, Naruto slapped the leaves on his arms and forehead and began katas for a taijutsu/kenjutsu style that was based around multiple, fast, and unchained strikes that moved together to inflict massive amounts of damage while making use of his speed to keep his opponent off balance. Punch, weave, kick, spin, elbow, these motions went on for about an three hours until Sakura's voice brought him out of his stupor.
"What is it, Haruno?" Naruto asked as he tuned down his katas to a crawl but never stopped practicing while addressing Sakura.
"I said, I've finished the exercises what's next?" Sakura asked with what little breath left in her aching lungs as she attempted to drag in more air.
Naruto stopped his movements all together as he stared at his pink haired teammate standing on the water's edge, Sakura was covered head to toe in sweat and dirt, her hair was matted to her head slightly and her breathing was shallow but regular the normal symptoms of training. Her eyes however showed determination to keep going, looking at the morning sky Sesshomaru could guess that it's been about three hours since they started so he suggested she stretch her muscles as a cooldown method.
When she was done with her stretches, Sakura could feel the protest they put up but was pleased with the results so far. She walked over to Naruto and sat near him and pulled out a bottle of water to drink as she soaked in her small progress. Looking over she saw her teammate once again meditating and wanted to try for herself, so she did the only plausible thing.
"...Hey Naruto, how do I go about meditating? I know what it does but I don't know how to go about doing it." Sakura asked hesitantly as she looked at her teammate, when he didn't answer right away she assumed he didn't want to answer her at all but he surprised her after about two minutes.
"Relax your body and let go of you fore thoughts while concentrating on one simple thing to keep focus, if you've done it right then everything else will click into place." Naruto replied while still focusing on his meditation.
Sakura sat down and followed his instructions to the letter and soon found her mind pulled away from her body in a detached sense, then she felt someone shake her shoulder and she came back into her senses and looked up to see Naruto standing over her.
"What is it? I just got down to meditating." Sakura asked after finding her voice.
"Take some time to eat lunch then you can go find Kakashi-sensei to get more help."Naruto said as he turned on his heel and headed for the village.
"But I don't have a lunch packed." Sakura called out with sheepish embarrassment as she scratched the back of her head.
"Then perhaps it's time you learned self preservation, Haruno. I'll see you later." Naruto threw over his shoulder as he continued towards the village to eat not caring how she got lunch.
In Konoha, Jounin Lounge
All the jounin of the rookie nine were seated at large booth table with Anko, Gai, Genma, and Morino Ibiki from the I&T dept. Anko was currently in the middle of describing how the prelims when to Ibiki and Genma when a shadow was cast over the table.
"Hey everyone, what did I miss?" the female voice asked causing everyone to look up to see who it was.
They recognized who it was right away, not that she was hard to miss with her waist length purple hair, slightly pale unblemished skin, bright chocolate eyes and warm smile. This was Uzuki Yuugao one of Konoha's elite ANBU force, and right now she was off duty and in her civvies as she sat down with her friends who all give greetings in their own way, except Anko who wrapped an arm around Yuugao.
"You missed one of the craziest prelims we ever had for the Chunnin exams, you should have been there. The greenhorns actually managed to prove me wrong that they all didn't suck." Anko said with a smile as she started from the beginning for Yuugao's benefit and then caught up to where she was stopped and finished the story. When Anko was done, Yuugao and Genma had looks of disbelief on their faces, Ibiki on the other hand had a scowl of irritation on his face.
"Who knew your brat was capable of that, I gotta say Kakashi he's really got a pair to top his performance from the first exam." Ibiki muttered as he downed his saucer of sake.
"What do you mean?" Kurenai asked with curiosity as the jounin senseis weren't informed of how their students did even when that portion of the test was over just whether or not they passed.
"What Ibiki means is that, it's Uzumaki's fault there was so many of them for my exam and the prelim matches. Although I should find him and thank him for the show he brought with him and the one he put on himself when he stuck it to that oto-genin's head like that. Oh man I have to say he's got style." Anko butted in as she gulped down two-thirds of her fourth bottle of sake while still hanging off Yuugao who was busy pouring a saucer of her own.
"Personally I think you should talk to him about the fact he made his first kill, Kakashi. We don't need another incident like with Itachi happening." Asuma warned as the mood at the table became tense for a moment.
"I know and after I talk with Hokage-sama I'll see to my student. Speaking of which I'm late as it is for my own meeting" Kakashi replied as he stood while flipping his book and vanished in a poof of smoke while causing everyone else at the to groan at his habits.
"I swear, anyone wanna place a bet on him being late to his own funeral?" Anko asked and immediately she got a show of hands from everyone at the table except Gai who ranted about youth as usual.
At the Hokage Tower
Kakashi appeared right in front of the desk of the Hokage's secretary, she was a woman in her early thirties with brunette hair in a stylish yet proper bun and a little makeup to highlight her features. All in all she was a beautiful woman, however Kakashi knew he wasn't here to ogle a civilian.
"Excuse me, I'm here to see Hokage-sama is he in?" Kakashi asked as he put away his Icha-Icha while talking to her.
"Yes, you can go on." She replied as she filed papers with a practiced ease.
Kakashi gave his thanks and walked past her to the double doors of the Hokage's office which were guarded by a pair of Anbu that were like statues on either side of the doors. He knocked twice and waited to be let in. A muffled 'enter' had Kakashi stepping into his leader's office to see the veteran shonobi swamped with paperwork as usual.
"Ah Kakashi, I'm surprised to see you, you're only an hour late instead of your usual three." Sarutobi said with a kind smile as he looked up from his work to see who it was.
"Well I felt it prudent to be here, earlier than normal so I can get all the info I need." Kakashi replied as he walked to the center of the room and no further knowing full well of the four Anbu stationed inside the office that acted as a last line of defense against an attacker and their Hokage.
"Certainly what did you want to know? I'll try to answer as much as I can." Sarutobi said as he pulled out his pipe, packed and lit it before motioning for Kakashi to continue.
"Well sir, it's about Naruto. I was wondering if you could tell me anything about the skills he displayed in the forest two days ago." Kakashi said while looking directly at his leader for the answer.
"I'm going to be frank with you Kakashi, I could tell you but those are Naruto's secrets to share at his discretion, so all I can say is you'll have to make due without it." Sarutobi replied as he took a long pull on his pipe and breathed the scent of cherry tobacco into the air.
"I understand but if I'm going to help him, I will need all the info I can on Naruto to do that." Kakashi said as he tried to get the venerable Hokage to see his side of reasoning.
Suddenly the entire room was flooded with Killer Intent so dense and potent, it took all of Kakashi's willpower not to buckle under its pressure. Eyes widening, Kakashi began to subconsciously sweat in fear a bit, for Sarutobi ceased looking like a frail old man and more like the Kami no Shinobi that he was known for in his prime as his eyes hardened yet he never changed his position or anything.
"Are you questioning my judgment and disobeying a direct order from your commander, Jounin Hatake?" Sarutobi asked with an edge in his voice that spoke of nothing but trouble for Kakashi if he didn't salvage his blunder right this instant.
"Forgive me Hokage-sama. I was completely out of line and it will not happen again." Kakashi said as he instantly dropped to a knee and bowed his head in submission.
After what felt like eternity the overwhelming KI was slowly pulled back into the fire shadow until it was easy to breath again. Kakashi risked a glance at his leader only to see the man calming his fury that was almost unleashed.
"...Rise Kakashi." Sarutobi said tiredly as he just took another pull of his pipe.
"Hokage-sama I-" Kakashi started before the Hokage held up a hand for silence which Kakashi did instantly.
"It's quite all right Kakashi, I know you only have but the best intentions for the boy but I'm wondering, does Sasuke or Sakura tell you every facet of their lives?" Sarutobi asked with his knowing gaze that seemed to look right through Kakashi.
"No Hokage-sama."
"Then how can you expect Naruto to reveal what's his if you aren't holding the entire team to the same standard? Basically what I'm saying is that everyone is entitled to privacy where their lives are concerned, if Naruto is willing to share his secrets than fine, but I don't want you trying to coerce them out of the boy and claim you did it in an effort to help him. Do you understand this Kakashi?" Sarutobi asked as he set his hardened gaze back on the Copy-nin.
"Hai, Hokage-sama."Kakashi replied as he bowed briefly before standing straight up again.
"Well if that's all you're dismissed." Sarutobi said while waving off the silver haired jounin with his hand before putting his nose back to the grind stone.
Kakashi got all the way to the door before he remembered his second question.
"Hokage-sama, I have but one more question. What do you intend to do about Orochimaru?"
"I hear your concern and to be frank I haven't figured out what I'm going to do just yet, however that's why I've sent for Jiraiya. When he gets here in the next few days we'll begin coming up with a plan to deal with whatever my old student has planned for the leaf." Sarutobi replied as he looked up to answer Kakashi who just nodded in return before leaving.
All across Konoha the finalist were preparing to start training in different ways or even just getting the lay of the land just to pass time before getting down to work.
Inuzuka Compound
Kiba was laying underneath a tree near the house, relaxing with Akamaru laying next to him. Ever since winning a spot into the exam finals and then coming home, Kiba has done nothing but lounge about as if he didn't have a care in the world.
"I heard about the exams and I must say that I'm proud of you, pup." His mother Tsume said as she stood over him with a grin on her face.
"Thanks kaa-san." Kiba said with a grin of his own before he closed his eyes to doze off
"Since you'll be going up against some very skilled genin, we are gonna get you as ready as can be for this exam." Tsume said dropping a backpack on Kiba's lap.
"What's this for?" Kiba asked picking up the pack and looking inside to find tools and food provisions.
"Training, we're going deep into the forests surrounding the village to get you ready for the next three days."Tsume replied with a deep growl at the word 'Training' which didn't bode well for Kiba who gulped in fear at what his kaa-san had in store.
"Kaa-san don't you think this is a bit extreme?" Kiba asked while pulling out a pair of harnesses before looking up at his mother who's smile grew even more feral while looking at her son.
"I call it incentive. Now then get ready to go unless you'd rather tend to the pups for the next three days instead?" Tsume asked with a sickly sweet voice as she hoisted Kiba to his feet and he took off like a madman with Akamaru in his arms only to come back and grab the bag before taking off again. His kaa-san followed at a much more sedate pace while sporting a feral grin all the way.
The Nara Compound
Shikamaru sat across from his jounin sensei Asuma, as they played an intense round of shogi while relaxing. Asuma knew that preparation was the key and decided to ask his student for his thoughts.
"So you have a month to prepare for the finals."Asuma started
"Yeah." Shikamaru replied with a heavy sigh as his rook took Asuma's pawn.
"Do you have a training plan yet?"
"No, besides it's too troublesome to think about. Kaa-san's been trying to get me motivated about training but, why waste precious cloud watching time for that?" Shikamaru replied with a scowl as Asuma took his rook with a knight.
Asuma just laughed at his student's typical response as they continued to play shogi for the rest of the afternoon.
In the hotel room of the Suna siblings
All three genin were in the main sitting area in different spots, Temari sat stretched across a loveseat with a book in hand that she was reading. Kankuro sat in a recliner with one of his puppets across his lap as he was performing maintenance to keep the joints in working order, Gaara was standing still as a statue in front of the window when their sensei walked in the room.
"Good morning you three." Baki said as he sat in the last available recliner as Temari and Kankuro gave a greeting before returning to what they were doing. Gaara just looked at Baki in the reflection of the window glass before deeming what he had to say as unimportant.
"In all the excitement the other night, I wanted to congratulate you all on advancing to the finals. Now then we have a whole month to wait before the invasion, I don't want any of you bringing unwanted attention to us until then."Baki said this while subtly looking Gaara's way hoping the boy could control his bloodlust for a while before deciding to indulge the demon within.
After getting a yes from both Temari and Kankuro, Baki got up and left the hotel in search of something to preoccupy his time leaving the three siblings alone. When Baki go out of earshot, Gaara decided to move away from the window which of course startled his brother and sister who looked warily towards their little brother as he walked right past them towards the bedrooms.
"He's becoming increasingly unstable, I wish there was something that we could do." Temari whispered as she watched Gaara retreat into the hall, despite the fear she had of her imouto(little brother) she wanted to do all she could to keep him safe and whole.
"Nevermind that for right now, what are we going to do about this invasion? I don't want to risk my life on whatever that Orochimaru promised our father in return for his help." Kankuro said looking up from his puppet to answer his sister who had a complete look of worry on her face.
"And you think I do? The best we can do is hope that we can find a way out of this without losing our lives or our brother." Temari said jumping to her feet to pace while Kankuro watched.
With Samui and Yugito
Both the Nii sisters were walking the main street of Konoha getting looks from its citizens, looks of want and lust from the men and looks of jealousy from the woman. There was also a combined look of distrust among the elder populous, as they watched the two kunoichi walk around freely. Both girls ignored this having grown accustom to being view in such a way, who could ignore the obvious beauty both girls had or the past transgressions of their village.
First there was Samui who was the older sister by a year making her 16, wore a kunoichi style bodysuit which hugged her curves and showed off her generous bust which was a borderline D-cup. Her hair was cut short to the nape of her neck and allowed people to see her face, which was in a word: perfect, and she had eyes as blue as a certain youkai's but her entire demeanor screamed business. Meaning she was more likely to slid a kunai in between your ribs than flirt with you.
Yugito on the other hand had her blond hair pulled back in a single ponytail that reached the small of her back, she wore the standard attire for a genin of Kumo black shinobi pants with a black short sleeved shirt. On top of the shirt she wore Yugito has a small black breastplate for added protection, her face like her sister's was beautiful and was exotic. She had sea foam green eyes that were slanted in resemblance to a cat's, what many outside of Kumo didn't know that she was the jinchuriki of the Nekomata no Nibi. They got along fine most of the time but now wasn't one of those times as she was having an inner rant with her tenant about the same old subjuct: Yugito's lack of a love life.
'All I'm saying kitten is that it wouldn't hurt to find some love to fill your life.' The biju said as she laid on her paws behind the cage of Yugito's mindscape.
'Nibi, we've been over this. I don't want nor need a relationship to be be happy.' Yugito threw back as her face gained a scowl on the outside as she walked along.
'All right kitten, I'll drop the subject for now. But it wouldn't hurt to remember what I said ne?' Nibi replied as her voice slowly faded into the back of Yugito's mind as the connection was muted.
Yugito let out a small sigh which, didn't go unnoticed by her sister as she looked at Yugito out the corner of her eye.
"Nibi, hassling you again?" Samui asked with a quiet voice as they kept walking.
"Not really it's just the usual with her. So what do you want to do until Bee-sensei comes back to help train us for the finals?" Yugito replied as they stopped near a shop that sold weapons.
"To be honest, I'm going to the famous hot springs that are here. I need to soak my aching back." Samui replied as she reached up to rub her shoulders.
"You do that. I'm going to find something to eat, that hotel food wasn't enough." Yugito said as she started heading off towards the restaurants.
"One day I gotta figure out where you put it all Yugi." Samui said as she walked off towards the hot springs.
Yugito waved at her sister without a backward glance as her stomach was in the mood for food, to be more specific: Ramen. Back in Kumo she ate the noodles on a daily basis and now she wanted some so here she was following her nose which put her right outside a quaint little place called Ichiraku's. Wanting to fill her raging belly, Yugito walked into the small restaurant and sat down as Ayame came over to take here order.
"Welcome to Ichiraku's, what can I get for you today?" Ayame asked as she pulled out a notepad and pencil then looked to Yugito expectantly as she looked over the menu.
"I'll have five large orders of shrimp to start please." Yugito said with a bit of drool rolling out the side of her lips at the delicious smell that made her want to purr.
"Coming right up." Ayame said with a look that said read 'Oh great, not another Naruto.' as she went to give the order to her father in the kitchen.
As Yugito waited for her food, she was unaware that she would come face to face with her third jinchurikki after setting foot in Konoha.
Naruto had left Sakura to her own devices as he headed into town to get some food, while walking he didn't miss the discrete glares or the outright hatred that the villagers thought were hidden very well.
Knowing full well that he wouldn't put up with the villager's shit anymore, Naruto headed to Ichiraku's to get his fill of lunch before going to do his own personal training. Some things never changed he thought like his taste preference to ramen.
Narito walked into Ichiraku's with a sharp eye as he spotted a few other patrons enjoying ramen, one that particularly caught his attention was Nii Yugito from team Kumo if he remembered correctly.
"Hey Naruto, I haven't seen you all morning." Ayame greeted with a bright smile as she wiped the counter clean.
"I've been training is all. The finals are practically around the corner and I aim to be prepared for them." Naruto replied with a shrug and a small smile to her as he sat at the counter.
"Well I hope you do great. So what will it be today?" Ayame said with a small laugh as she got ready to take his order.
"One large miso." Naruto said which caused Ayame to drop the bowl she was getting after writing down his order.
"Only one bowl? Who are you and what have you done with Naruto?" Ayame asked looking at the blonde with pure shock on her face.
"It's me Ayame, I just want a large miso ramen that's all."
"S-sure." Ayame said going off to place his order in a daze.
x-x-x-X-x-x-x
Yugito had gotten her five bowls of ramen and began to dig in, after testing the noodles and found them to be absolutely delicious. She was half way through her second bowl when Nibi began to stir.
'Hey Kitten, feeding your Ramen addiction huh?' Nibi joked as she stretched from her nap.
'I don't have an addiction to ramen. I just happen to enjoy it very much.' Yugito replied as she gulped down her second bowl and started on her third.
'I think that chunnin back in Kumo would disagree.' Nibi said with a yawn.
'He had it coming. So what woke you from you infamous cat naps?' Yugito asked as she could feel her tenant stretch out again as if to get comfortable before answering.
' I felt the presence of a second jinchuriki nearby.' Nibi said in the most lazy of tones, like she was talking about the weather.
'What? Who is it and are they nearby? ' Yugito all but shouted in her head while outwardly looking around with a calm expression.
'Why it's the young Tom sitting at the counter of course.'
Yugito whipped her head around to the counter so fast, she may have snapped her neck doing so. Her gaze came upon one of the five other blondes in the Exams sitting at the counter eating a bowl of ramen, Uzumaki Naruto was his name from what she recalled, quickly she questioned why anyone would name their child fishcake but, shrugged it off to focus.
'Him! Why didn't you say anything in the forest?' Yugito asked as she returned her head towards her own table but kept a sideways glance every now and again.
'Maybe it had to do with Shukaku in that Suna kid, leaking his bloodlust everywhere. Damned if he wasn't the craziest of us all but, there were times when he made the most sense. Anyway because of that I didn't pick up on the jinchuriki over there until I had this moment to feel the familiar sensation of one of my kin.' Nibi said as she took a brief trip down memory lane before getting back to the matter at hand.
'So which biju does he have?'
'Don't know, perhaps you can get him alone to ask. And from the looks of things you might just get that he's leaving kitten.' Nibi pointed out as she looked through Yugito's eyes to see the boy getting up to leave the building.

Naruto sat at the counter eating his ramen, when he felt a pair of eyes lock onto him or a long minute only to move else where. After ordering three more bowls of ramen to placate Ayame and digging in he could feel the eyes on his back at random times as if to see if he was still there, getting fed up and deciding to confront this person he got ready to leave.
"Ayame, thanks for the lunch. I've got to get going, money's on the counter." Naruto called out to the brunette waitress who went into the back to help her father.
After getting a brief goodbye, Naruto casually walked out the restaurant and out into the street knowing that whoever was tailing him wasn't too far behind. Walking out the village gates and into the forest, he headed for the completely hidden away training ground that he used to hone his skills during his academy days. Taking off at a leisure pace Naruto headed towards a waterfall that was near training ground 17, when he got there he walked across the water's surface to the base of the waterfall itself. Channeling chakra through his body to keep from being plunged beneath the water, he walked through knowing that his pursuer was still there.
x-x-x-X-x-x-x
Yugito was starting to get fed up with chasing Uzumaki just to speak with him, she tailed him for what seemed like hours as he walked as if he had all the time in the world. Of course he knew she was following him but this was ridiculous as they came upon a waterfall, Yugito couldn't help but marvel the beauty of what she was seeing. Making a note to come back here she watched her target walk across the water and disappear behind the falls, wasting no time she followed his example and found herself in a hidden cavern which she walked to keep up with Naruto.
Light soon appeared at the end of the tunnel and Yugito found herself on a small hill overlooked what appeared to be a hidden training ground, a stream ran from the left and fed into a lake that looked very inviting. Surround a moderate sized clearing the brush was at the perfect height to provide cover while still giving a line of sight to attack from, trees dotted the area well enough to provide more training and tactic options. All in all Yugito was awed by what she discovered, so much that she didn't register the kunai at her neck or the tip of a claw on her back before it was too late.
'How did he get behind me without Nibi or I detecting him?' Yugito thought to herself as Nibi was eerily quiet as well.
"Why have you been following me, Kumo-nin?" The soft voice came from behind Yugito making her skin tingle from the warm breath that touched her neck.
"I only came to speak with you, I know of your secret." Yugito said quickly knowing that no matter what she tried all it would take is a twitch of Naruto's muscles to kill her.
"What secret of mine could you possibly know Nii Yugito?" Naruto asked as he walked around to look Yugito in the eyes while never lowering his weapon from her neck.
"That you are a jinchuriki...like I am." Yugito said without fear, why should she lie and to further prove her statement, she channeled a bit of Nibi's chakra into her eyes causing them to become purple and glow dimly.
"So which do you hold?" He asked removing the kunai but not putting it away as he accepted her answer before asking another question.
"Nibi. What about you?"
"Kyuubi."
That caused Nibi to sit up completely within her seal, she couldn't believe the strongest of them was imprisoned. All this time she like the rest of their kin thought that Kyuubi had gone off on one of her little vacation sprees that lasted for a hundred years give or take, she usually used that time to cause some real underhanded mischief in the world. Then again all the biju only came together on anything when they had disputes to settle with each other over territory, talk about the affairs of Makai in general, or a serious threat to the delicate balance, such as that Jubi Chimera that thought to call it's self the ruler of all Makai. Bastard ain't such hot shit now that he's rotting in the afterlife, all though they did lose the original Yonbi during the battle Yami bless his soul.
'Kitten ask if he's made contact with Kyuubi-sama yet?' Nibi all but yelled causing her container to wince at the volume before asking the question.
"Nibi wants to know if you've made contact with your tenant yet?" Yugito managed to ask after getting the Neko youkai to stop raving in her head.
"No, and I don't intend to." Naruto said as he was starting to get annoyed with the line of questioning as he turned and walked towards the middle of the clearing to practice his taijutsu.
His answer brought Yugito up short, 'what jinchuriki didn't want to contact their tenant in an effort to harness their chakra?' well the blonde kunoichi decided to find out as she followed her target to the clearing and just watched him move in a simple pattern knowing her wouldn't knowingly show his skills to a potential opponent and a foreign shinobi at that.
"Why don't you want to harness the power of your biju? Something like that could be a useful trump card in the future."
"I will make it in this world relying on my power alone and no one else's, I would only contact the Kyuubi in an effort of finding a way to be rid of it. Is that all Yugito-san?" Naruto asked as he continued his simple taijutsu training.
Yugito could only nod after hearing his answer not really trusting her voice, she went to leave the training ground only to decide that it was big enough for both of them to practice and not have to really look at each other. She went off to the other side of the clearing near the dense tree line was to train, of course over the next few hours Yugito would find herself always gazing to where Naruto was working on an exercise in an effort to practice. He never let on that he knew she was watching but Yugito had a feeling that he did, Nibi as usual was teasing her constantly about this.
'Taking an interest in Kyuubi-sama's container kitten? I approve, in a couple of years he's gonna be a real looker.' Nibi purred as Yugito was making her was looking back at Naruto's position as he continued to train.
'It's not like that, I'm merely observing his habits so I can effectively fight him in the the up and coming finals.' Yugito replied with a soft snort.
'So when the Tom took of his jacket, your eyes roving over his corded muscles with a glazed look was observing his abilities?' Nibi asked as Yugito became silent which caused Nibi to get a shit eating grin knowing she had her container.
A flustered shut up reached Nibi who laughed at her container's expense as the poor girl gained a blush that thankfully no one else was around to see. Soon enough as the sun began to set, Sesshomaru got ready to leave and looked directly at Yugito's training spot.
"When you leave make sure that no one sees you do, I want to keep this a secret." Naruto said to the girl as she was throwing kunai.
Yugito stopped mid throw to give a reply and turned around to find her fellow blonde already leaving through the cave exit.
'You are a puzzle I aim to solve, Uzumaki.' Yugito thought as she continued to practice a bit more before going back to the hotel.
x-x-x-X-x-x-x
Over the next few days, Naruto continued to help Sakura when he could, knowing full well that this was Kakashi's job in the first place. When he tried to find him the day after he started training, the sensei of team 10 Sarutobi Asuma stopped by to let them know that Kakashi had left on a mission and would be back as soon as possible. This info of course got the young youkai annoyed his sensei if he could even call the silver haired jounin that, was out on a mission when he had students that needed his help growing stronger.
The blonde genin decided to confront the man the next time he seen him, so imagine Naruto's surprise when he spotted a group of jounin for the rookie teams, Gai, and a few others heading his way with his sensei at the head of the group. As usual his face was buried in his orange book, well he was in for a rude awakening as Naruto stepped in front of the jounins.
"Kakashi-sensei, do you have a second? I want to talk with you." The blonde asked loud enough that he got the entire groups attention as they stopped and looked at the orange wearing genin.
"I wish I could be I've got something to do, I wanted to speak with you about your first kill but theses things happen." Kakashi said glancing out the side of his book to look at his student.
The others looked at Kakashi with disbelief as he basically brushed aside one of his genin that was formally asking for his help, as a sensei he had an obligation to his students. Naruto merely narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Kakashi.
"So you won't take a moment to listen?"
"I know what this is about but I just don't have the time to train you for the finals, however I've set you up with a substitute sensei to help you in my place." Kakashi said as he returned completely to his book.
"Let me guess, someone that won't adequately train me properly while you run off to cater to the Uchiha's training? Stop me if I'm wrong." Naruto said looking dead at his 'sensei' who didn't even have the moral courage to face the person he's turning away directly.
"Now don't get all worked up like that, Sasuke needs the help considering who he's facing in the finals. You seemed to be doing well on your own, especially since your battles in the Forest of Death" Kakashi tried to deflect as the others looked on with increasingly disappointed glances at their fellow jounin.
"That's besides the point. What if I wasn't adjusted like I was when I killed that Oto-nin?Would you have done what you did and brushed me off or would you have done the sensible thing and talked to me about it." Naruto threw out making Kakashi give another sideways glance that was from what he could guess was a glare.
"You're overstepping the chain of command genin, I will not tolerate being spoken to by one of my own students like that."
"Like I care Hatake, did you know that while you were failing at the main aspect of your position so poorly that I've been helping Haruno bring her skills up to snuff. I'm suppose to be using this month to hone my skills for the finals of the chunnin exam, not doing your job." Naruto replied as he ignored the heated glare Kakashi was trying to intimidate him with while leaking killing intent his way.
"What's wrong I hit a sore spot? Don't know why your surprised Hatake, after all your lower than trash seeing as you can't even follow your own motto. I'd stand here and point out your obvious lackings as an instructor but I have to go see Hokage-sama." Sesshomaru said as he stepped back and proceeded to walk around the group of jounins, before he got too far he stopped and called bak to Kakashi.
"One more thing Hatake, leak anymore killing intent at me and I will make you a cyclops permanently." Sesshomaru said as he hit Kakashi directly with a large amount of killing intent laced with a bit of his youkai chakra to get his point across before disappearing around the corner.
Kakashi watched his student walk off with a slow anger rising in his chest at how he was just talked to, he looked to his fellow jounin only to find them either shaking their heads in disappointment or disgust at how he lead his team.
"You guys don't believe what he said right?" Kakashi asked trying to save face by appealing to his fellow jounin for support. Unfortunately they had some negative responses to share with the copy-nin.
"Kakashi, I'm disappointed in you my friend."- Asuma
"You shame yourself too greatly right now."Kurena
"Most unyouthful my rival."- This came from Gai who was unusually serious at the moment.
"I outta feed you to my snakes, but I don't want them to taste such failure from one such as you."-Anko growled as a snake peeked out from her coat sleeve.
With their piece said the other jounins left Kakashi standing in the street feeling like a real jackass, before he took walked off towards his destination. However one of them noticed a figure sitting on the wall which over looked the hot springs that Sesshomaru and Kakashi had their confrontation in front of.
"Hmm, not even home five minutes and I get a front row seat for two great shows at once. Maybe I can see how Jiji is doing. After collecting my research of course, hohohoho that's it splash each other with more gusto! Man I love this place!" A voice said in a jovial tone before becoming filled with perverted giggles.(That's right we all know who this is. More of him up ahead.)
The Hokage's Tower- 15 minutes later
Naruto entered the tower with a purpose as he headed for the Hokage's ooffice, as he reached the top floor he spotted one of the top people on his most hated list: the Hokage's secretary. This bitch made it her life's goal to make his very existence miserable., so it came as no surprise that she had a glare on her face that could rival the Shinigami's.
"What do you want boy?" The secretary sneered as Naruto reached her desk.
"It's obviously not to see a miserable hag like you." Naruto threw back as he walked pass the woman.
"Where do you think you're going demo-" The secretary started to yell in a red haze of anger only to stop as she felt the cold chill of a kunai next to her neck.
"Finish that sentence and it will be the last you ever do. I don't know why the Ojii-san(old man) let's this carry on in the worst way, if it were up to me you'd all have been hanging a long time ago." Naruto warned while watching as the woman nearly had a heart attack right there on the spot. When she didn't say another word he let up knowing that killing this ningen isn't what he came here for.
Leaving the terrified secretary at her desk, the blond continued onto the Hokage's office. Not even sparing a glance at the two Anbu guarding the door he knocked twice and walked in after hearing an enter, naturally the Hokage found himself swimming in paperwork as he struggled to not be consumed by the great beast.
"Ah Naruto-kun, what can I do for you today?" Sarutobi asked with a kind smile as he noticed it was his surrogate grandson that came to see him.
"I need to speak with you about something important." Naruto said as he walked towards the desk at a leisure pace.
"Certainly, why don't you tell me all about it." Sarutobi said sitting up straighter knowing that whatever Naruto had to say was important, especially with his change as of late.
"It's something for your ears alone." Naruto replied as he pulled a chair in front of the desk indicating the Anbu stationed in the room.
Sarutobi motioned to the four Anbu that they were to disperse from the room, however one Anbu leapt from their position and came to rest in a kneeling position in front of the village Leader. Naruto took a side glance at this masked shinobi, from what he could see the build was obviously of a male that wore the standard attire of the Anbu. That is were the similarities ended as he took in the the immaculate black cloak that hide majority of his features including the color of his hair. On his face was the pale white mask of what appeared to be a Dragon.
"By your leave Hokage-sama." The masked nin said with a bow before fading out of the room.
"Of course Ryu" Sarutobi says with a kind smile after watch the effective display by one of his shinobi, as he lifted his hands and was about to do seals for a jutsu when Naruto spoke up.
"Before you activate that jutsu, tell the idiot outside the window to reveal himself then you can send him away."
Instead of answering, Sarutobi decided to sit in silence as he knew who was sitting outside his window, it was one of his students. He wanted to see how he would react to such a comment, luckily he didn't have long to wait as smoke filled the room behind the sitting blond.
"Idiot? Sensei, you should enlighten this kid that he stands in the presence of the great, powerful lady killer: the Densetsu Gama Sennin no Jiraiya (Legendary Toad Sage Jiraiya)!" The voice said identifying itself as Jiraiya.
Naruto turned around to look at the male who's scent he noticed from the moment he started to tear into Hatake near the hotsprings. Jiraiya was dressed in brown shinobi pants with a green net shirt covered by a red vest and wooden geta rather than sandals, his white hair as long, spiky and hung low against the large scroll strapped to his back. He wore a large headband with small horns on the side with a kanji in the middle that said oil instead of the leaf insignia, he had two vertical red stripes running down both his cheeks. All this was topped off by an extremely dramatic pose complete with him standing on top of a Gama.
"Look Naruto, I know you wanted this to be just between us but if there is one person I can trust not to say anything it's Jiraiya over there. Will you let him in on your secret as well? If it makes you feel better he knows of the Kyuubi in your belly, as he was the one to help the Yondaime complete the array for the seal." Sarutobi said in an effort to ease the blonde's mind as he activated the security seals for the entire office making this the most secure place in all the village at the moment.
"...Very well Ojii-san." Naruto said after a small period of silence.
With that out the way Naruto dropped the henge he cast in the Forest as he told of his run in with the disguised Orochimaru (Jiraiya stopped the story at this point to reveal his ex-teammate to Naruto), and how something was done to the seal causing his connection to the Kyuubi's chakra to halt. Then he told the Gama Sennin and the venerable Hokage about his meeting of his ancestor and the awakening of his demonic heritage as an Uzumaki. Needless to say both men soon found they needed sake to help digest all that they learned until we came to the current moment.
"Let me see if I understand, your ancestor appeared before you while you lay unconscious in the Forest of Death?"Sarutobi asked as he had just lit his pipe while listening to the end of Naruto's tale.
"That's pretty much the gist of what I've told you" Naruto said looking at his commanding oficer.
"Well if you're truly adamant about making the world know your strength, then I say be a maelstrom of change like I've seen from you so far." Sarutobi said knowing his surrogate grandson was turning over his words in his head.
"...You make a valid point ojii-san. If I'm to be recognized then I will do so with my own hand however I want you to add the name of Inu Taisho to my file." Naruto said as he looked at Sarutobi with the with a slight change in expression as he gave Sarutobi a very small smile, letting the old man know that he still was important to Naruto.
"Done and if you will, allow an old man to correct another foolish error on his end." Sarutobi said getting up and walking over to one of the few pictures in his office of the three previous Hokages and his own picture. Stepping up to the picture of the Yondaime, Sarutobi waved a chakra infused hand over the photo causing two small scrolls to fall into his waiting hands. He then handed them to Naruto before returning to his seat.
"Before you open those scrolls, know that they will answer the question you asked me all those years ago regarding your parents." Sarutobi said solemnly as he sat back to wait for the inevitable blow up.
Naruto opened the first of the two scrolls without hesitation to find it addressed to him from the Yondaime Hokage: Namikaze Minato aka Konoha No Kiroii Senkou (Yellow Flash of Konoha).
To my most cherished son Naruto...
As Naruto sat there reading the scrolls, Sarutobi looked to his face for any signs of resentment or anger towards the man now revealed to be his father, instead his saw a mostly stone face that didn't register anything only to take a side glance at Jiraiya who began to squirm under the blondes gaze as the boy found out that Jiraiya was to be his designated koufu(godfather) through the letter. After that one he opened the second one to find the name of his mother: Uzumaki Kushina also known as Konoha no Shinkyo (Crimson Death of Konoha)
Once he was finished and put both letters down he merely looked at the Hokage for confirmation.
"Is what's in this letter true?" Naruto asked with a tone of indifference.
"Yes it is and I would understand if you are upset with your father-"Sarutobi started only to be interrupted by the blonde.
"Why would I be mad? He did what he had to as is expected of a leader, however his method leaves me questioning his competency as a parent." Naruto said while rolling up the two scrolls, of course this didn't sit well with Jiraiya.
"How could you say that his actions are what saved this village! Besides it's not like he had another choice, the Kyuubi would have destroyed us all!" Jiraiya said looking at his godson with anger rising in his eyes.
"His actions are also what condemned his entire family to ruin, however I care not what my tou-san's choices were from what my kaa-san wrote in her's I was going to become the jinchuriki regardless. So your anger is unneeded. If you want I could yell at you for not doing your job if you'd like Koufu?" Naruto said pointing out that he knew about Jiraiya's position in his life.
"Naruto listen, I know that-" Jiraiya said realizing what Naruto was talking about and tried to justify his actions only to be stopped by his godson.
"Save your apologies they aren't needed, what's done is done besides I survived alone as you can see. Now then it's been a long afternoon, I want the keys to my family home Hokage-sama." Naruto said with maturity as he made Jiraiya realize that he didn't need to waste time arguing about what can't be taken back anyway.
"They are in the scroll left by your father. Are you going to reveal your heritage just yet to Konoha?" Sarutobi replied seeing Naruto take this all in stride.
"Not just yet save that for the day of the Chunnin Exam Finals, I want to train in peace before the damned council tries sticking their nose where it doesn't belong. Speaking of the council, it's time you shaped up old man." Naruto said looking dead at the old Hokage with two shards of sapphire that seemed to pierce Sarutobi to the core.
"I'm not following." Sarutobi replied as he tried to follow what his surrogate grandson was getting at.
"Are you not the Hokage? The man that was chosen to protect and lead Konoha and all her citizens including the council? It's timed they and you realized that this village is a dictatorship with you at its helm, not a democracy that entitles them to undermine your authority. You are to answer to none in this entire country save for the Daimyo himself. Be a real man Sarutobi!" Naruto said as he got to his feet and leaned over the desk to look Sarutobi directly in the eyes while flaring his youkai to get his point across.
Stepping back both Naruto and Jiraiya watched Sarutobi have an ephinany about how he's been running this village ever since he took office again after Minato's death. They caught the fire in his eyes go from a flicker to a full on blaze as he sat up straighter at remembering that his was the de facto boss inside these walls and what he said goes.
"...For too long have I let this beautiful village decline into the cesspool that it's become, my sensei's must be rolling in their graves at their hard work and dreams being tarnished. It's time everyone learned just why they chose me to be the Hokage of this village. Thank you, Naruto for rekindling the fire in this old man. Things will be different in the future, if there is anything I can do for you let me know." Sarutobi said with a newfound sense of purpose as he undid the security seals.
"No problem, I'll just hold onto that favor until I need it down the road. Oyasuminasai(Good night) to both of you. One more thing...until these exams are over I would stick close the Hokage Jiraiya, from what you've told me then something might happen between now and the end of the exams with Orochimaru who definitely has plans for Konoha." Naruto replied before he turned around and walked out the office carrying his parents scrolls leaving Sarutobi and his student behind.
"...Sensei, just what kind of person has my godson become?" Jiraiya said with a look of pure shock on his face.
"Someone destined for great things, Jiraiya." Sarutobi replied with a genuine smile as he leaned back in his chair smoking his pipe while enjoying the silence, of course before Jiraiya shattered it with a giggle so perverted that women all over the village were up in arms to search out the pervert and beat them within an inch of their lives, while the males shivered or silently weep in fear of the mob of vengeful estrogen sweeping throughout the village.
"What is so funny Jiraiya?" Sarutobi asked looking to his long time student as he puffed out his chest with a proud gleam in his eyes.
"Since Naruto has unlocked his Uzumaki bloodline, meaning that he falls under the CRA...which means...He's going to get a harem of bodacious honeys to help revive both his clans!" Jiraiya said with a running nosebleed at the lucky future his godson is going to get.
"You think I could take that boy on as an apprentice?" This of course caused Sarutobi to burst out laughing at his student's expense as he swiveled his chair around to look at the sun setting over the village wall.
"That's for your nephew to decide Jiraiya, but whatever happens from this point on will be a sight to see. I hope I'm around to see it with my own eyes." Sarutobi mused quietly as he watched the sun give way to night with a smile on his face.
AN: Another chapter come and gone, stick around for chapter 4 when we finally get to see things really unfold as the Kyuubi is unleashed and training starts to get intense. Now before you all go crazy and start flooding my inbox with complaints I'm going to explain a couple of things before the next chapter:
Sakura: I know all of you wanted to see her get bashed but I decided to change that around for this story. I'm sorry about it but someone pointed out that I was being completely biased towards her and I'm not a biased person like that, so she will be a bit more useful and whatnot during this story. There will be other stories where I can totally bash her, it just won't be this one.
Naruto's name: Again I know many of you liked the name change but I was getting a bit confused as I saw the story pan out in my head so I decided to change it back.
Inuyasha impliments: The only thing that will be coming from the Inuyasha universe will be Tessaiga, Tenseiga, Tokijin, So'unga, and Ryukotsusei and possibly the band of seven( haven't decided on the last one.)
Now let's move onto the final tally for the harem polls, know that if I could I would have all these ladies in here as part of a massive harem but that will only be for a purely smut based one. Anyway here are the results:
Nii Yugito
Mei Terumi
Nii Samui
and as an added bonus: Hana will be automatically added to the harem alonside her mother. I decided to add Tayuya who was right under these three winners as well as Kurotsuchi. As of now the Harem is closed so now I will give the names of the entire Harem:
Female Kyuubi
Tsume
Hana- Automatically added
Tsunade
Tenten
Hinata
Female Kimimaro
Anko
Yugito- Winner in Harem polls
Nibi- Automatically added
Mei Terumi- Winner in Harem polls
Samui- Winner in Harem Polls
Tayuya- Added because of number of votes
Kurotsuchi- Come on, don't tell me you guys wouldn't want to see this. The Tsuchikage blowing a gasket over his granddaughter falling for the son of the Man that decimated his forces single handedly during the Third Great Shinobi War. Such a juicy plot twist.
One last comment: Thanks to everyone who has contributed reviews to Kitsune Inu Youkai, you guys are what is making me keep the chapters coming so keep on reviewing, or I will sic Gai on you while he spouts his flames of Youth everywhere
