"Uchiha-teme and the Pink fan-girl." the boy frowned. "Then there is our Jonin; Hakate Kakashi. The ANBU say he is slower then..." the boy then turned to look at the only full jonin in the room. "Kakashi-Sensei. Is there a reason you are here an hour early? Or is three hours?"
Anko laughed. "He got you on that one Sempi"
But the blond continued to look at Kakashi-Sensei. He sniffed twice, "Or should I say Inu?"
that brought all eyes to the blond.
"How did you get to that conclusion?" Anko asked.
"He smells of Ozone and dogs, but is not of the Inuzuka clan." Naruto shrugged, his hands finding his pockets, "Inu was my primary ANBU watchdog. The only other guy to watch me around the clock was a guy who smells of trees." he grinned, "But he always smelled of the wrong trees."
Kakashi deadpanned, "Yeah, him." turning to the 'young' female, "Are you done tormenting the teachers here?"
She shrugged, "Most were under orders from the council or believed him to be the demon reborn." She pulled a scroll from behind her back. Tossing the scroll to Kakashi, "Thought that this Jutsu would help the gaki, with his reserve, he can take it to the next level. I can teach his clones the tree climbing jutsu while you meet with your team."
Kakashi-Sensei opened the scroll read it, then raised his eyebrow at the Sub-commander.
"Hey, the Hokage gave that to me." She said. Looking at the gaki. "If he can get that jutsu down in time, I will take him to Ramen for lunch." an Orange blur snagged the scroll and was out the door.
Iruka snorted, "Big mistake, girly. He likes Ramen like you like Dango."
Both males got a chance to witness something almost no one had seen since Anko returned to the Village after her Master went Nuke. They got to see her go pale.
[What you got there?]
Naruto skidded to a stop in an unused Training Ground. Unrolling the scroll, he scanned it. 'It looks like a Clone Jutsu. But not the normal one. They call it a Kage Bushin.'
[A rank jutsu. Nice. But be careful with that one. I have heard of some Ninja dieing from using to much chakra.]
Reading through the steps, Naruto ran through the hand-signs … fifteen clones popped into being, only to explode into smoke.
[good first attempt.] the avian dropped low over the training area. [Step to the center of the field.] as the boy did as instructed as the feathered wings draped over the shoulders of the gaki. The tendrils on the 'bird's body uncoiled and wrapped about the boy. [this would be better if there was no clothing. We will worry about that later.] suddenly the colored bird lifted into the air. [Now slowly...the hand signs]
again, fifteen clones popped into the air around the boy...this time they were okay... until they hit the ground below them. The boy frowned. Raising his hands he tried again, this time the fifteen landed on their feet, and turned to wave up at the real Naruto.
[okay, now I see the problem... it is not that your focus sucks and your control is shitty... you have neither.] the wings on Naruto's back shifted, [have your clones send up the scroll, and then we will race them back to Anko-sensei.]
No sooner then the blond leaving the school, did theTokubetsu Jōnin remember her purpose here at the school. "I came looking for records of Naruto's instruction, but most were destroyed by the those who did as they were told, or those who believed that there should be no paper trail for the 'demon child'.
Iruka frowned as he turned to his private desk and pulled a thick file from a bottom drawer. "It is not much, but it all I have." he handed the file to the scary woman. "It is my copy of his file, I started it the third day he was in my class." from a top drawer, "I have yet to include the paperwork from the genin test. But if you look closely," he passed a sheet to the Jonin rather the female, "His knowledge of things not covered by the course, is impressive. But he is lacking in key areas across the board. I wanted to teach him directly, but that would have meant letting the others in his class suffer."
the sheet in Kakashi's hand was a sheet of questions that only a Chunin or higher would know.
And the blond had most of the answers correctly, if only in the most basic of ways.
Anko was flipping through the file in hand. Her brow furrowed. "Who taught him Chakra Control? Henge? And Clone?"
"Mizuki asked to teach him, and in the beginning, I allowed it, but when Naruto showed little improvement, I offered a few pointers." Iruka-sensei rubbed his jaw, "I had him and a few other troublemakers stand in the hall holding leaves to their foreheads, but that is the most I could do. He does seem to have the henge down, he calls it his 'sexy jutsu',"
"Heard about that one." Anko frowned, then smirked, "Heard he dropped the old man with it last night. It was how he got away with the Scroll in the first place."
"His clones always sucked, but now that I think about it, we might try him on elemental clones." Iruka-sensei shrugged.
"The old man sent him a copy of the Kage Bushin." Anko set the stack of papers on the desk, "that is what he is learning right now."
Suddenly a shadow blocked the sun, drifting into the room. Behind them, the door burst open and a scene replay from this morning between Ino and Sakura was played out but with ten Narutos. A sharp elbow, and one puffed away, causing one to fall on another, both went puff.
All three watch the ten clones try to fight their way in the door, only to pop one another. As the last one died from a kick to the balls from a dieing brother, the three instructors turned back to the window. Naruto waved from the binding from the Aeon Phoenix.
"Meet you at the Ramen Hut!" the gaki called out as the the wings beat down, lifting the two of them into the air.
"Damn, there goes my Dango budget for the week!" Anko whined. Turning to the Chunin. "Bring these files to the Emerald Palace, tonight. Sunset." and she vanished without a breeze.
The old Hokage leaned back in his chair as he looked about his Office.
The Night before Danzo had grabbed for Naruto, and was cut in half. From the right shoulder to left hip. Seeing the damage the Phoenix could do, the other elders were quiet willing to answer a few questions from Ibiki.
But did the damn bird have to slice off the entire Tower?
The entire office looked as if Susanoo had attacked the Tower, cutting the top two thirds of the top floor from the rest.
'On the upside, no paperwork survived.' the old man lit his pipe.
Already the Civilian craftsmen were hard at work repairing the damage.
'And no new paperwork until my office is finished!' the old monkey grinned and proceed to blow smoke rings.
It was a good day to be Hokage.
Anko watched as the blond downed his seventh bowl of ramen. "How many can he eat?" she asked the girl on the other side of the counter.
"After a full day of training, his record is fifteen, but he usually stops at twelve." Ayame smiled at Anko. "But given that he said he has to be back to class to meet his Jonin-sensei, I am cutting him off at seven."
"Me-Nee-San! I am still hungry!" the blond whined as he dropped the bowl onto the counter. She just bopped him on the head with a dry ladle.
"I told you not to call me that." she grinned, "So what did you do to earn this quick bite?"
the blond smiled as he buffed up. "First, I got this contract that allows me to summon Powerful..."
[we are Aeons, child] the two females jerked as they heard for the first time, the voice of Valefore. [I am Valefore, Lord of the Air]
"...Aeons, and then when it turned out I was tricked into stealing the scroll from the Hokage, and had grabbed the wrong scroll, Mizuki-sensei tried to kill me, and Valefore cut him in half. Reporting to the Hokage on this, and one of the Elders tried to take me hostage, and again had to face the rage of my Summoned Aeon." Naruto's face held no mirth, then he smiled at Anko-sensei "Then my private trainer showed up just before lunch with a scroll for a Clone Jutsu, said if I learned the jutsu, she would treat me to lunch."
"It is time for you to be getting back to class to join your genin group." Anko-sensei sighed, as she reached for wallet. "Pop me off twenty Kage Bushin, and go."
Naruto ran through the hand-signs and twenty clones popped in to play. The original dashed off to class.
As Anko started to count out ryu, the noodle girl just patted her hand. "I got this one, my gift to him, and to you." she smiled, "Pa always says that he and his mother are alike, bottomless pits when it comes to ramen."
Naruto sat in the seat in the center of the room, sharping a kunai. The three of them had been waiting the last three hours. Sasuke was peering out the window in true emo form, while Sakura-chan gazed upon him with hearts in her eyes.
An hour after the last genin team was called from the room, Naruto set up a chalk eraser in the door. Thirty minutes later, he used a clone to do a bucket trap, in addition to the eraser. It had been twenty minutes since the blond had stretched the ninja wire across the door way. In ten more minutes he was going to do something else.
The door opened, and the Eraser fell on a gray haired Jonin. The cloud of dust obscured his one eye, causing him to stumble further into the room. It was at this point the wire snapped, causing the bucket of water to drench the man.
He looked at the Blond. "I so could hate you."
"Hey!" the blond shrugged. "You are three hours late. You were here three and a half hours ago, and you said nothing. Just be happy that I did not go after your little book."
the look of annoyance turned to fear, then hate. "You wouldn't dare!"
"Try me. At least keep me focused else where." he put his hands in his pockets, "I am told that my 'Fire of You...'" the Jonin-sensei had moved so fast to cover the blond's mouth, his eye showing true fear.
"Never, ever speak aloud those words in this Village." the jonin hissed. "Ever since he got his private student he has been ever more perky." he looked about, "Gai I can handle. But them both together..." the Jonin-sensei shivered.
"What could two ninjas give you to worry about?" Sasuke asked.
"Think twenty of your most...devoted Fan-girls." Naruto drawled. "Then dress them in green spandex." he grinned at the look of confusion on the Uchiha's face, "Now the one who catches you, gets you for the next hour." the stoney look was back, but he could see the fear in the boys eyes. "But if they team up, they get you for three hours."
"Damn you Dobe!" Uchiha-teme hissed, careful not to look at the pink-haired girl not ten feet from him.
"It gets worse," Kakashi-Sensei muttered. He shook himself to rid himself of the shivers, before shaking his head. "Roof, three minutes." then he popped into smoke.
Naruto frowned, "Kage Bushin?"
[looks like. Out the window. I will catch you.]
the other two genin had already bolted from the room. Naruto shrugged and ran and dove out the window, just the tendrils of the Aeon caught him and lifted him to the roof. He landed next to the Jonin-sensei as the phoenix soared into the sky. Just as the two genin burst panting onto the roof.
