She took a deep breath before blowing out many small fireballs toward Chrono and his group. Chrono sheathed his sword and looked at Jaffar as the pair nodded. Jaffar rushed toward the oncoming fireballs and dodged each one of them. Chrono saw his chance and pointed his finger at the oncoming fireballs. The fireballs curved around Emerald, Nino and himself before returning toward Yuugao, rushing out infront of Jaffar..
"What!?" Yuugao exclaimed as she pulled out her Katana and dodged the flaming balls before deflecting several slashes from Jaffar.
The pair went into a deadly blade duel as each attacked and deflected deadly slashes and stabs from the other. From the sidelines, Naruto watched in awe as he saw Jaffar taking on Yuugao.
"Cool. Jaffar looks cool with those swords of his." Naruto said.
"You can't even hold a sword properly, Dobe." Sasuke muttered.
"Teme." Naruto retorted.
Two fist slammed on his head.
"Baka! Don't talk bad about Sasuke-kun!" Ino and Sakura yelled just before going into a stareing match with each other.
Behind the two fighting girls, a white eyed violet haired girl looked at Naruto and blushed slightly.
"Naruto-kun." The girl whispered as she poked her forefingers together.
"You say something Hinata?" Kiba asked looking at her.
"No nothing." Hinata replied quickly.
The Hokage watched intently at the battle as the other Jounin on the rooftop watched also.
"What do you think Kakashi?" A man with a cigerette in his mouth asked.
"The man in red is good with Kenjutsu. If I have to say anything, he could be decent in Taijustu also in his own rights Asuma." Kakashi replied.
"What about the others?" A red eyed lady asked.
"We'll see Kurenai." Kakashi replied.
Back on the battlefield, Jaffar and Yuugao managed to get into a deadlock when Chrono looked to Emerald and Nino. The pair nodded as they assisted Jaffar. Emerald shot three arrows toward Jaffar's back as Nino quickly chanted and unleashed an illusion over the two sword fighters. Jaffar noticed the field blurring a bit and he shoved Yuugao back before jumping backward as the arrows soared beneath him. Yuugao noticed the arrows and deflected them before running through another set of handseals before finishing it. She jumped into the air and cried out,
"Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!"
She inhaled some air before blowing into hole made by her hand. The flames rushed down toward Chrono and the girls. Chrono smiled as he rasied his left hand in a gripping motion.
"What's that idiot diong? He's gonna get him and the girls killed." Kiba laughed as Shino and Shikamaru looked at Chrono's action.
'He has something prepared.' Shino and Shikamaru thought.
Their prediction came true as the fire stopped in it's track.
"What!?" Asuma exclaimed as he saw that.
"How can he stop that jutsu just like that?" Kurenai asked.
"Remember the boy's eyes glowing? They might be a Doujutsu." Kakashi replied.
"What kind of bloodline limit would allow someone complete control over an element like fire?" Asuma asked.
Kakashi shrugged as he resumed watching the match. He slightly lifted his Hitate to reveal a red eye with three commas in them. He then looked over at Chrono's group. His eyes widen as they set on Chrono.
'His chakra... It's not normal.' Kakashi thought as he placed his hitate back over his eye.
Yuugao pulled out several kunais with explosive tags on them and threw them at Jaffar. Jaffar dodged them but failed to notice the tags on them, resulting with an explosion that sent him backward and crash landed infront of Nino with several burns.
"Nino, take care of him." Chrono muttered as he stepped foward.
Nino nodded as she began chanting a healing spell. Chrono stepped out to see Yuugao pulling out her sword.
"Now now. Pulling that stunt is good and all. But when you pull that when I'm around, I'll send it back to you." Chrono muttered as he prepared to attack.
"That's the fighting style of a ninja boy. Bunshin no Jutsu!" Yuugao muttered as she made a quick handseal.
As soon as the words was called out, twenty clones appeared and charged at Chrono.
"That's good. But not good enough." Chrono muttered as he quickdrawed his sword and slashed widely as his magic took over and sent a quick air slice at each clone.
Chrono smiled as all of the clones instantly dispersed, leaving a semi shocked Yuugao. Chrono took this time to rush in and engage in his own sword duel with Yuugao. As he watched the fight, Sasuke looked at each of Chrono's group with determination in his eyes.
'Their fighting style. They don't deserve something like that. I will see to it that I get their secrets out one way or another.' Sasuke thought.
Iruka was in sheer awe as he watched the fight continue.
"They are not ninjas, but they fight even better as one. What could they have gone through to fight like this?" Iruka wondered quietly.
Naruto smiled as he saw Chrono go into action. His mind replaying each attack that Chrono did and he was itching to try them out himself. Within his mind, inaudible words was heard. But Naruto pushed them to the back of his mind as he wanted to see who would win. Back on the field, Chrono slowly backed up as Yuugao slowly overpowered him.
"I see you mainly use ninjutsu to fight. But you are rather decent in Kenjutsu." Yuugao muttered before shattering Chrono's defense and rushing in for a slash.
Chrono jumped back just to barely miss the blade as it sliced his robe off completly, leaving only his pants left. It was then that Yuugao's eyes widen as she saw a scar at the middle of Chrono's chest and that his 'cape' was actually wings. All the girls except for Ino, Sakura, and Hinata drooled slightly at Chrono's form. Sarutobi's and the jounin's eyes widen as they saw the scar on both side of Chrono.
"It looks like he was stabbed. In all rights, he should not even be living." Asuma muttered.
"Yeah. He must be very lucky to survive that." Kurenai muttered.
Chrono had to think up of a quick plan to end it fast as he landed. Calling back to the group, Chrono yelled, "Jaffar, you back on your feet?"
"He is now." Emerald called out as she prepared several arrows as Nino and Jaffar got back to their feets.
"Ok. Pin her." Chrono yelled as he channeled his thoughts to the energy stones that he gave the three of them when they were is Eliwood.
Everyone nodded as they prepared to attack. Jaffar rushed forward with his swords out. Chrono saw Jaffar coming behind him and jumped on his shoulders before using them as a spring board to jump higher. Once in the air, Chrono suprised all of the ninjas except for Yuugao more by taking flight.
"Those were wings!?" Kiba exclaimed.
All of the jounin were mildly suprised as Sarutobi smiled a bit.
"That must be his bloodline limit." He mused.
"What's a bloodline limit?" Naruto asked.
"It's an inherited ability." Iruka replied as he watched Chrono fly.
Emerald and Nino then started to bombard Yuugao with arrows and magic. Yuugao dodged that attacks as best as she could, but slowly sustained minor injuries as Jaffar rushed in and engaged in another sword duel at the end of the girl's volley. Yuugao felt hard pressed to dodged all of Jaffar's attack as Chrono flew behind her and rushed in for his attack. Jaffar saw this and shattered Yuugao's defense with a kick before Chrono tackled her to the ground. Yuugao tried to get up before Chrono and Jaffar placed their swords on her, effectively ending the battle.
"You lose." Chrono muttered as he and Jaffar sheathed their swords and got Yuugao up to her feet.
It was then that the rookie nine managed to see the 2 scars on Chrono's chest. Hinata gathered her courage to ask the question everyone had on their mind,
"Ano... Chrono-san? Why is there two scars on you?"
Hinata's words made Chrono smile bitterly.
"That is something personal only that us four know about. If you want to know what these two scars mean, you have to pass my test. I'll give you one chance for an answer." Chrono replied.
"The question would be?" Sarutobi asked.
"Suppose there was another race besides humans and they seek to conquer. You are a part of that race and you are against their ideals as the opposite side only wants to live. Are you willing to abandon your kin, family, and friends to protect the other race?" Chrono replied.
"Of course not! Baka." Kiba replied back quickly.
"Is that your answer sir? You all have only one reply as a group. Don't throw it away." Chrono said.
That effectivly shut him up.
"In any case, the jounins are here to pick up their teams." Sarutobi said.
The rookie nine turned as their respective jounin instructor picked them up. Sarutobi walked up to Chrono and beckoned Yuugao to leave. She nodded and left, leaving the Hokage with Chrono and his group.
"Where do we stay for the time being?" Chrono asked.
"I suggest that you stay with Naruto for now until arrangements can be made." Sarutobi replied.
Chrono nodded as the rest of his group gathered to him.
"Let's get going shall we?" Sarutobi muttered as he started walking.
Chrono followed Sarutobi along with his group until they reached an apartment complex. They accended a flight of stairs and finally reached a barely kept apartment door. Sarutobi pulled out a key and opened the door. Everyone saw ramen cups laying about as most of the items inside the room was nearly busted.
"What happened?" Chrono asked.
"Apart from the need to clean up?" Emerald replied.
"I know Naruto's place is not clean. But I'm sure he would'nt mind the company." Sarutobi said as he handed Chrono a spare key and left.
"Well, what do we do now Chrono?" Jaffar muttered.
"Clean up and get our stuff set for the night." Chrono replied dumbly as the group entered.
Later at night, Naruto left Ichiraku Ramen patting his stoumach and smileing.
"Yup, after all that. A good bowl or twenty of ramen hits the spot." Naruto said to himself as he reached his apartment complex. He grabbed his key and opened the door with it when he saw his place, cleaned to a shine with Chrono and his group lounging around.
"Chrono!!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Do me one favor and throw out the spoiled stuff." Chrono mumbled as he laided on the couch.
"But how did you get in here?" Naruto asked.
"The Hokage told us to stay with you for the time being." Emerald replied as she patted Chrono.
"Besides, we decided that since you are letting us stay here for a time being, we decided to pay you back somehow." Nino added.
"Really! Then how about some of those jutsus you used eariler today?" Naruto asked hopefully.
"Well... I guess the basics wouldn't hurt." Chrono muttered.
"Yatta!" Naruto exclaimed as he ran over to Chrono and started pulling him.
"Do you have anything tomorrow?" Chrono asked.
"Just a survival test." Naruto replied.
"I'll go with you tomorrow. Now go to sleep. You need to be at your best." Chrono stated.
Naruto nodded as he rushed over to his room. A voice quietly rang out from his mind.
'Keep away from the God.'
Naruto looked around and saw no one. He shrugged and quickly went to bed.
*Next morning*
The next day dragged Chrono out of his sleep due to Naruto's prodding.
"Chrono. Wake up. We have to go now." Naruto muttered.
"Yeah Yeah, I'll get up now Lyn." Chrono mumbled in his sleep.
"Lyn?" Naruto asked.
Chrono opened his eyes to see that it was Naruto.
"Ok Naruto. Just get me something to eat and we'll be on the way." Chrono mumbled as he got up and stretched his wings.
Naruto went to the kitchen as the dragon boy reequiped his sword and staff and yawned a bit. Just after that, Naruto returned from the kitchen with some cup ramen already made.
"That's fast." Chrono muttered as he grabbed the ramen and ate it.
He looked around to see that the two girls saw still asleep and Jaffar was not around.
'If I had to guess, Jaffar's out training.' Chrono thought as he went outside with Naruto.
"So, where do your team meet?" Chrono asked.
"At training ground seven." Naruto replied.
"Which direction?" Chrono muttered.
"That way." Naruto answered pointing out east.
"Ok then. Hold on tight and don't, for the love of all that's tasty, look down." Chrono said as he grabbed Naruto by his arm and took off toward the direction of the training ground.
"Ahhhh!!!! I'm gonna fall!!! I'm gonna fall!" Naruto screamed out.
Eventually, the pair made it to training ground seven where Sakura and Sasuke were waiting. Sakura and Sasuke looked up to see Naurto and the winged boy landing.
"Sakura-chan! Teme." Naruto muttered as the pair landed.
"Dobe." Sasuke retorted as Sakura started to get angry at Naruto.
"Don't call Sasuke-kun that Naruto!" She yelled.
"Who are they?" Chrono asked.
"I'm Haruno Sakura." Sakura replied as she edged next to Sasuke.
"Uchiha Sasuke." Sasuke replied.
"That's some reply." Chrono saracasticly muttered as Sasuke got up and looked at Chrono.
"Teach me." Sasuke muttered.
"Teach you what?" Chrono asked.
"Teach me to use those ninjutsu that you used." Sasuke demanded.
"If you are demanding it from me, then no." Chrono bluntly stated.
"What!?" Sasuke exclaimed.
"The only way to know is not through knowledge, but from the enviroment." Chrono crypticly replied.
"Then I'll beat it out of you." Sasuke muttered as he pulled out a kunai.
"Well. Looks like you guys are ready to go." a voice muttered.
Everryone turned to the source of the voice and saw Kakashi.
"Kakashi." Sakura muttered.
"You are their teacher?" Chrono asked.
"Yup. That's right Chrono. For your survival test, Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke. You are to take these two bells from Chrono." The white haired man said.
"What!?" Everyone exclaimed.
"When did I agree to that?!" Chrono yelled.
"When you got here." Kakashi replied.
To that, Chrono had no answer to that. Kakashi handed Chrono the two bells.
"Take it easy on them." Kakashi said.
"I won't take it easy on them. If they intend to fight on the battlefield, they should know what to expect. A battle and war is the same thing. They have to be ready to die for their goals." Chrono coldly retorted as he tied both bells on the hilt of his sword.
Kakashi sighed as he pulled out a timer and set it.
"You three have until noon to get the bell from Chrono." Kakashi muttered as everyone nodded.
"Start!"
