Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. Derp.
(Next Day; Hokage tower)
"That is everything that happened, Hokage-sama," Kakashi said, telling the events of the Wave mission, "Naruto was also strangely quiet the trip back, isolating himself from Sasuke and Sakura."
"Sakura was the most affected by Naruto's lost of control, but Sasuke didn't seem to care that much," Kakashi added. "Do you think they are able to compete in the chunin exams?" Sarutobi asked. "It's too early to tell sir, but I can give the answer by the end of this month," Kakashi said. "Alright Kakashi you are dismissed," Sarutobi said.
Kakashi nodded and left, but bumped into an older woman with long pink hair he recognized as one of the civilian councilors named Kiichigo Haruno, Sakura's mom. "Hello Ms. Haruno," Kakashi said politely. "Don't hello me Kakashi! I want to know why your student Naruto attacked my daughter!" Kiichigo yelled, making sure not to call Naruto a monster in front of his sensei. "I'm sorry but you will have to ask the Hokage that," Kakashi said while walking away, not wanting to deal with the civilian councilwoman.
Kiichigo suddenly calmed down since she knew demanding something from the Hokage wouldn't help her. 'Crap! I'm not going get that old buffoon to do anything about the demon,' she thought, but gained hope when she saw Danzo. He was the only one she knew that might help her since the civilian council held no power. At best they were advisers and administrators for the economic part of ruling Konoha. They had no voice in the matters of shinobi affairs.
"Danzo, there is a matter that needs your attention," Kiichigo said, causing Danzo to lift his only visible eyebrow, "Naruto attacked my daughter on a mission in a foreign country and I know there are repercussions for attacking a teammate." When Sarutobi had announced Naruto was holding the demon and the civilian councilors ordered for his death, but the Hokage laughed at them before telling them to leave or they could face the consequences of trying to order him to do something again. This made all but one councilor leave out of fear, and he was never seen after that day. Konoha was a dictatorship, not a democracy like everyone else thought. The Hokage ruled with an iron fist and use the clan heads as advisers only.
She knew Sarutobi held Danzo in high regards since he was a longtime friend and teammate he survived many battles with. "That depends on the severity of the attack," Danzo said, "And since Sarutobi hasn't ordered for a council meeting; it must be something light like a few bruises and scratches." "I still think he should be punished," she said stubbornly. "What punishment would you give him," the bandaged man asked. "I would take his status as ninja of this village," she answered, causing Danzo to laugh. "I would leave if I were you, the Hokage nor any of the shinobi councilors would agree to that," he said going into the Hokage's office, leaving behind a fuming Kiichigo.
As Danzo walked into the room, he saw Sarutobi writing a letter. "To Jiraya I presume," he said. "Yes it is, and I guess you know about the Wave mission," Sarutobi said. "Only that Naruto attacked Sakura," Danzo said. "Naruto lost control when an accomplice of the A-rank missing-nin, Zabuza Momochi, put Sasuke in a near death state," Sarutobi said. "An acceptable reason, sudden loss of a teammate usually makes people go into an emotionally fueled rampage, especially greenhorns," Danzo said, "Should I get some men of mine to watch over him for the next few weeks?" "Yes, I think that would be appropriate," Sarutobi said.
Contrary to popular belief, Sarutobi allowed Danzo to keep his ROOT program. They were to be used on black op missions that even Anbu couldn't accept, mostly posing as missing-nin. They were a necessary evil to Sarutobi.
"You know that Suna is bringing their jinchuriki to the next chunin exams," Danzo told Sarutobi. "Yes, I but Kakashi needs a month to see if his team will still work properly enough to enter the exams," Sarutobi said. "Well, if they can, I want to train Naruto so he will be prepared for Suna's jinchuriki," Danzo said, "I won't make him a ROOT agent, rest assured."
Sarutobi thought hard and long on Danzo's offer. At the end of the training, Naruto would definitely be chunin material and Danzo would probably stomp out some of the boy's annoying characteristics, like his love of orange and naivety. But, Naruto would not probably be the smiling ball of energy he loved. Then again, Naruto would be calmer and would be easier to obtain his dream if he was under Danzo's wing. The boy would have the political backing of four kage level ninjas in the future: Danzo, Jiraya, Kakashi, and Sarutobi himself.
"I can agree to that," Sarutobi said, standing up to shake Danzo's hand, cementing his decision. "Train him well old friend," Sarutobi said smiling, getting a smirk out of Danzo.
(With Naruto)
Kakashi had given team seven a week off and Naruto was heading towards the one place he thought he would never go to. He still remember how the team reacted, Sasuke said he was going train as he left and Sakura trailed behind him before giving Naruto a heated glare.
Naruto soon arrived at his location, Konoha's shinobi library where all the clanless ninjas came to find things to research and train. The four-story high building made Naruto cringe at the thought of the amount of books it held. 'You need to read some of those books to become a better shinobi overall,' Kyuubi told Naruto. 'Don't worry, I'm not going to chicken out,' Naruto assured the fox demon.
As soon as he entered, he noticed a few people staring at him in surprise. 'People must really think I'm stupid if they thought I would never go to the library, but I will show them I'm not that stupid,' Naruto thought. 'You are that stupid,' Kyuubi said. 'Shut up!' Naruto thought.
"Excuse me sir, but I won't allow you to do you any of your pranks if that's what you're planning," a middle-aged man said, who Naruto guessed as the librarian. "I'm not, I'm here to improve myself," Naruto argued. "Sure you are," the librarian said unconvinced, "Just keep the books undamaged please."
Naruto walked away from the man, not even acknowledging he heard him. Naruto then took the chance to look at the library in detail. He was in awe as he took in the number of columns and rows of bookshelves on the first floor and then he glanced up to see about the same amount on the next three floors. 'Where did we get all this information?' Naruto asked himself. 'A lot of research, stealing, killing, grave robbing and negotiating,' the Kyuubi answered. 'I can understand why we used three of those tactics, but how does grave robbing help?' Naruto asked. 'When you perform an autopsy on a dead enemy shinobi, which is the inspection and dissection of the body, you can figure out how they were able to perform certain techniques,' Kyuubi explained, 'I don't want to hear some whining about how it is disrespectful to the dead from you.'
"Naruto, what are you doing here?" he heard someone ask him. He turned around to see it was Iruka that addressed him. "I'm here to find ways to improve my chakra control and some books on jutsues," Naruto said. "Your chakra control has always not been the best and what jutsues are you looking for?"
"Some elemental ones," Naruto answered. "Naruto do even know your own affinity?" Iruka asked. "Affinity?" Naruto asked dumbly, causing Iruka to sigh. "It's what element you are most tuned to, making that element the easiest to use and use the least amount of chakra. You should have paid more attention in class!"
"I know, but I'm going to make it up in here during this week off Kakashi gave us," Naruto said. "Why did he give your team a week off," Iruka asked curiously. "We took a mission in where the client gave us false information for a lower ranking mission, but that's the most I can tell you right now," Naruto told Iruka. "OK Naruto, I can help you find what you need," Iruka said, while motioning Naruto to follow him.
(Hour Later)
Naruto and Iruka had gathered books on chakra control and wind chakra. "Iruka-sensei, how do you find which affinity you have?" Naruto asked. "At the academy we tested everyone for their chakra levels and affinities and stored that information for later use," Iruka said, "Remember about three years ago when we made everyone put chakra into those two different slips of paper we told everyone to pour chakra into?" "Yeah, I remember you were freaking about the first one," Naruto said with a smile, remember the funny memory, "Why were you freaking out like that?"
"The first one told me your chakra level, which is graded on a scale on one to five," Iruka explained. "What was my chakra level?" Naruto asked. "Four, which means you have the chakra a low level kage would normally have, but also what you are," he said. "So people like me always have the chakra of a kage?" Naruto asked. "Yes, what's inside of them gives them their vast amount of chakra," Iruka said.
"That makes sense, so the second slip of paper must have tested my affinity, right?" Naruto asked. "Yes and yours is wind since the paper sliced in half," Iruka said. "So wind is when the paper is cut in half, but what about the other elements?" "Fire is when the paper burns into ash, water when the paper is soaking wet after you put chakra in it, earth makes the paper turn to dust, and lighting makes the paper crumble into a ball," Iruka answered.
"Naruto, wind is the battle element because it is very versatile in terms of attacking, but not so much in defense," said Iruka. "So you really can't protect yourself with wind then?" Naruto asked. "Yes, but it has more defense capabilities then the fire element," Iruka said. "So how is it so versatile in attacking?" Naruto asked. "It can attack in the form highly pressurized projectiles or be insanely sharp in the forms of many weapons, make bladed weapons sharper, cut and pierce objects easier, and cause mass destruction in the forms of tornadoes," Iruka explained, "Well here is the beginner book if you need more information." "Thanks, Iruka-sensei and next time ramen is on me!" Naruto said as he took the last book and left the library.
(Tenten's Family Shop)
A girl with brown eyes and dark brown hair that was up in two Chinese-style buns on each side of her head, also wearing a pink sleeveless blouse and dark green pants, was idly waiting for another customer. 'I wish some cute ninja guys would come in and not some civilian thinking he is the shit because he can afford a high-grade katana that he doesn't even know how to use,' Tenten thought. It was her one of her few days off from team training and her parents made sure she was here during them.
The sound of bell chiming alerted her that a customer just came in. "Welcome, how may I help you... Naruto?" she asked. She could recognize the boy from two years ago because he was still wearing that hideous orange jumpsuit when he took class with her. She also noticed his headband. "Naruto, congratulations on passing this year!" she said happily. She felt sad for the boy when he failed because he just stood alone while everyone else was with their parents showing off their headbands. She found it weird that it was the second time taking the test and he was a year younger than her.
"Thanks, Tenten!" He said which brought a smile to the girl face since he remembered her. She was one of the two people of that class that didn't treat him like the civilians did, the other was Rock Lee. "Why are you here?" she asked. "Do you have some dark clothing I could get, I realized these are not fit for a ninja," he told her. 'New clothes for Naruto! I must do my best so he will never wear those eye blinding jumpsuits again!' she thought, her eyes containing flames of determination, emulating her sensei, 'Then everyone will praise me as a hero!'
The sight somewhat scared Naruto however. "Tenten, are you alright?" he asked worriedly as the flames seem to get bigger. She suddenly extinguished the flames, calming down Naruto. "Everything is fine Naruto, but let's got the clothing section," she said as she moved from behind the counter and dragged Naruto by the hand towards the back.
On the way there, Naruto took the chance to look at the different weapons the store sold. There were katanas, wakizashis, and tan-tous. He also saw more peculiar weapons like scythes, bows, and spears. 'Bows are really outdated weapons for ninjas,' Naruto thought, staring at the bows, which Tenten caught.
"I see you must have taken an interest in bows," Tenten assumed. "No, I was just thinking of why would you sell bows if ninjas don't really use them anymore," Naruto told her. "Well, we just don't sell equipment to ninjas, but also to civilians, wandering mercenaries and samurais that pass by," Tenten explained. "OK, that makes sense," Naruto said.
Once they got to the clothing department, Tenten quickly found some plain black Anbu pants and mesh shirts. 'These probably won't do, they need a little flare if Naruto is going to buy them,' she thought. "Hey Tenten, do you have something with just a little bit of orange?" Naruto asked, giving Tenten an idea. "Wait a minute Naruto, I'll go to the stockroom for to see," she said as she left.
While Naruto was waiting, he saw many articles of clothing more fit for a ninja, but they were so boring and plain. He still wanted to stand out from other ninjas, but not as much as before when he was a living traffic cone.
"Here you go Naruto, go and try them on in the dressing room right there," Tenten said, giving Naruto a pile of clothes and pointing to the dressing room. Naruto went into the room and looked at the clothes he was given. Tenten gave him a black short sleeve mesh shirt with a burnt orange spiral on the back. The pants were the ones Anbu typically wore with a pair of burnt orange stripes going down on each side. There was also a matching burnt orange sash. He put on the clothes and tied the sash around his waist and looked in the mirror. 'For once you don't look like a buffoon,' he heard the Kyuubi comment. 'This does look way much better than what I had before,' Naruto thought. 'Almost anything looks better than what you use to wear,' Kyuubi said.
Before Naruto could make a rebuttal he heard Tenten trying to get his attention from the other side of the door. "Naruto, do you like what I gave you?" Tenten asked. 'If he doesn't, I have the rest of the day to get him something satisfactory to make him not wear those jumpsuits,' she thought. "This is great! I want at least twenty sets of these!" Naruto said smiling as he walked out the dressing room. "Of course, I'll get the rest from the stockroom while you wait at the register," Tenten said, "And you can leave your jumpsuit here, I'll take care of them."
(A few Minutes Later)
"Naruto, why did you get these books when you could have asked your sensei on these subjects," Tenten asked curiously after Naruto paid for his clothing. Naruto had spent about 3000 ryo on his clothing. "Kakashi-sensei gave us a week off because of this mission we went on turned out badly," Naruto said, "And I can't give any more details."
"Wait, did you say your sensei is Kakashi?" she asked. "Yeah," Naruto answered. "He actually passed a team this year! Your team must be exceptionally strong to pass you since he has never passed any team before," Tenten said. "That's because those students didn't look underneath the underneath," Naruto said, getting a confused look from Tenten.
"It means you have to read between the lines, kind of," Naruto answered, "We were tested on our teamwork. He had two bells with him and said the one that didn't get the bell failed." "I bet you three split up first, didn't you?" Tenten asked, getting a nod from Naruto. "Yeah, somehow we taught we could take down a Jonin, but we all failed miserably," He said. He then told Tenten how Kakashi beat him with a perverted move, Sakura with a simple genjutsu showing Sasuke dying, and had Sasuke underground to his head.
"So your team has a fan girl, arrogant member of a clan, and a dead last. Sound exactly like my team except I'm not some fan girl," Tenten told Naruto. "Who's on your team?" Naruto asked. "I have Neji Hyuga and Rock Lee," Tenten said. "How did Rock Lee pass if he couldn't use chakra?" Naruto asked. "He can use chakra, but only for tree walking and water walking, and our sensei pulled some favors to let him past," Tenten answered. Naruto wanted to say how unfair that Rock Lee passed because someone in a high position let him, but he thought how Iruka and Sarutobi let him passed.
"Naruto, is your team going to the Chunin Exams this year?" Tenten asked. "Chunin Exams, what's that?" Naruto asked dumbly. "It's a big test that genin takes to become a chunin and genin come from almost every other village comes," Tenten explained, "It's also a great way for the other countries to show off their strength."
"I don't know if we can since we can barely stand each other," Naruto told her, "Sasuke hates both me and Sakura, who somehow loves the guy no matter how cold he is to her, and Sakura hates me too for some reason." "Those fan girls are so stupid and a disgrace to kunoichi," Tenten said, "They are just dead weight most of the time, acting like a cheerleader on the sidelines, rooting for their crush , and depending on their so called love and other teammate to save them all the time." "That's Sakura in a nutshell," Naruto said chuckling, "Well, I have to go, I'll see you late Ten-chan!" "Come back again sometime, Naruto," she said giving the boy a small wave good bye but as soon as Naruto left, Tenten picked up the orange jumpsuits and put them in the furnace her family placed in the back room.
(Training Ground Seven)
Naruto was relaxing under the shade of a tree reading his book he checked out on chakra control. "Tree climbing with chakra! Done it!" Naruto said as he flipped the page to go to the next chakra control exercise, "Water Walking, let's see what it says."
"Before starting this exercise, you must have mastered tree climbing. You must be able to walk in the tree, able to dodge incoming projectiles and jump from one trunk to another and stick without difficulty," the book said. 'I know you aren't able to do that, so get to training!' Kyuubi commanded. 'How do you know that?' Naruto asked, 'I remember I was able to do tree walking before we fought Zabuza!' 'Just barely and if I was you, I would use your shadow clones,' Kyuubi said.
'How will that help?' Naruto asked. 'The main ability of shadow clones that any person exploits is its ability to transfer memories of the clone to the original and gain any experience the clone gained,' Kyuubi explained, 'Which in theory will allow you multiple the progress of your training enormously.' 'Why didn't I ever notice this before?' Naruto asked, angered that his progress was once again hindered by someone or something. 'Before you were able to communicate to me, I would gain the memories of your shadow clones instead of you, but now we both do, which isn't my fault,' Kyuubi explained. 'So I should spam clones until I master tree walking?' Naruto asked. 'No! The amount of sudden information you would receive would overload your brain and you wouldn't retain most of the knowledge," Kyuubi explained, 'And you would probably get brain damage.'
'So how many should I make?' Naruto asked. 'One hundred and fifty,' Kyuubi answered. 'That is still a lot of clones,' Naruto remarked. 'You usually make about twice as many or more clones in a single battle, so this is nothing,' Kyuubi said. 'What am I'm going to do with that many clones?' Naruto asked. 'A hundred will work on tree walking and the other fifty will work on taijutsu with you,' Kyuubi said, 'The first ten will practicing on tree walking will go first and then when they dispel the next ten will go and on and on until there is no more.'
'Wait, do clones gain the memories of other clones too?' asked Naruto. 'Yes, why do you ask,' Kyuubi asked. 'I figured out why you said do the exercise in groups of ten because the memories of the clones will transfer to the waiting clones and they can improve on the first ten clones' progress,' Naruto said. 'Wow kit. You spontaneously grew a brain,' Kyuubi said. 'Hey! I always had a brain,' Naruto argued. 'Your past actions say otherwise,' Kyuubi said ending the mental link, not wanting to distract Naruto anymore from his training.
Naruto then made his clones and ordered them to their respective jobs. "Alright, you all are going to fight me, so it's one versus fifty!" Naruto yelled at the remaining clones. They all got mischievous smirks before about fifteen of them all jumped to attack.
Naruto had to jump away from the attack and noticed his clones had made a ring around him. Some of his clones had weapons drawn and started to throw them at Naruto. "Hey! Watch where you're throwing those things!" one of the clones yelled as he dodged some shurikens with the real Naruto. 'If my clones are disorganized, I can use this to my advantage and cause to them to accidentally pick off some of their own,' Naruto thought. Naruto deftly dodged some more shurikens and rolled immediately to the side to dodge a punch from one his clones causing that clone to dispel one clone that was planning to attack him from behind.
"What the hell man? We're not the enemy, Boss is!" a nearby clone yelled to the clone who had just 'killed' another clone. "Sorry," was all he got to say before a kunai went through his skull and a shuriken to the nearby clone. Naruto had taken advantage of his clones' distraction to take out both of them. Shock was etched on the other clones' face because they had never really done such an underhanded tactic. One clone was unfazed and proceeded to drop kick Naruto with a way cry.
Naruto stepped to the side as the kick passed by his face and grabbed the clone by the arm and threw it like a rag doll towards another clone, dispelling both. This made all the other clones snap out of their stupor and move into action. Naruto was hit by a barrage of brutal kicks and punches until he was able to pull off a substitution with a conveniently placed log.
"OK, don't ever let the clones swarm you," Naruto muttered to himself as he wiped some blood off his chin. He had to find a way to beat them, and he knew he couldn't do it by bull rushing like all his other opponents. 'I can just treat this like I'm being chased by some chunin after doing a prank and pick them one by one since they aren't too durable,' Naruto thought. He enacted his plan quickly by jumping into the forested area of the training ground because the horde of duplicates was moving towards him.
(Five Minutes Later)
Naruto was hiding in the bushes as his clones tree jumped over him. He waited until he saw three clones at the very rear and threw kunai at them. He noticed one clone had turned around and caught a glimpse of him. When they dispelled, the other clones immediately looked at his hiding place and proceeded to pelt it with their projectiles. 'Crap! I forgot the clones would also receive the memories too!' he thought as he darted away from his clones spraying of kunai and shurikens. The memory showed his exact location and he figured he would have to move as soon as he took out a clone.
Naruto felt something smack him the face suddenly as he ran. He flew into a tree to see one clone coming towards him and cocking another punch. He ducked and felt the wind from his clone's powerful punch. He gave the clone an uppercut and immediately started to run again because he knew his clones would be instantly on him. He slapped an explosive tag on a branch as he saw a few clones coming his way.
The clones never noticed the explosive tag before they were sent to a fiery death. 'OK, that's three clones,' Naruto counted the amount of memories transferred to himself. He pulled out a kunai with an explosive tag attached by a thin wire. He threw it towards his clone horde. "Explosive kunai incoming!" yelled the clone in the front, getting most of the clones to jump away. Unfortunately for some clones, Naruto had remotely detonated the explosive tag, dispelling about seven clones in the middle and causing a distraction for him to hide again. Naruto suddenly got the memories of the latest group of clones who were practicing tree walking and they seemed to have it mastered.
"Everyone split up into groups of five and split up to capture him," the clone in front said a little too loudly, "I'll handle Boss myself." 'Man, I have to work on not yelling out my plans like that,' Naruto thought. He took a peek out of his hiding place to see that all the other clones had left and the only one there was staring intently at him.
"Why did you tell everyone to leave if you knew I was here?" Naruto asked. The clone didn't answer and instead opted to attack by jumping towards Naruto with a right hook. Naruto easily dodged the attack by side stepping, causing the clone to lose balance, and Naruto grabbed the clone to throw it towards a tree.
To his surprise, the clone easily caught his balance on the tree trunk and jumped off while throwing a few shuriken at the Naruto. 'Looks like a mastered tree walking,' Naruto mused to himself as he deflected the shurikens with a kunai. Naruto then blocked a swipe from the clone's kunai with his own. Naruto thrust at the clone that backed away and threw his kunai at Naruto. Naruto rolled to the side but was kicked in the face by his clone, causing Naruto roll on the ground uncontrollably.
Naruto threw a smoke bomb as soon as he stopped rolling, seeing that his clone was still coming his way. Naruto threw some shuriken at the silhouette of his clone, which barely dodged them. Naruto then jumped towards his clone and grabbed him by the back of his knees, pulling the clone to the ground. Naruto quickly moved on top to send a jaw cracking punch and noticed the smirk on the clone's face as smashed its head.
"What the hell was he grinning about?' Naruto thought to himself before he heard the cries of his clones. 'He gave away my position when I dispelled him,' Naruto thought, "that sneaky bastard!'
Naruto looked up to see his clone quickly descending on him and he knew he need something to substitute with. His answer was an extremely large log nearby and he threw a smoke bomb.
"Uzumaki Gihou: Sauzando Doshaburi Doroppuhama! (Uzumaki style: A thousand Pelting hammers!)" His clones yelled, all furiously pounded the spot Naruto was at. As the smoke cleared, all the clones only saw rubble of the log in the center a large crater they had made. Naruto threw the rest of his shurikens and kunai at the clones, dispelling about fifteen of them. 'There should be fifteen left now,' Naruto thought as he jumped from branch to branch with his remaining clones following him.
Naruto landed in the clearing where the last clones were training. "Hey Boss, you're back!" One of the clones yelled, "Shouldn't you be fighting the others?" Before Naruto could answer, a clone came flying at him like a torpedo, hitting Naruto in the stomach and dispelling. Naruto was thrown back a few feet and landed on his back. He saw more of his clones coming at him, and he got up into a crouching position and did a sweeping kick to the first clone.
He rolled to the side to dodge one clone's punch and elbowed the two clones behind him. The clone from earlier tried to roundhouse kick him, but Naruto caught the kick and slammed the clone into an approaching clone. Naruto jumped forward to kick the clone in front of him, who blocked but was still dispelled from the force of the kick.
One clone jumped on Naruto's back and Naruto grabbed the clone and slammed it on its back before it could choke him. Naruto stumbled back after a clone kicked him in the chin. Naruto sent a straight punch to stop the following attack of the clone. He then kicked behind him to dispel the clone who tried to sneak attack him, who he saw from the memory of the clone he had just dispelled earlier.
The remaining six clones cautiously approached Naruto. The clones looked at each other before a pair broke off into a sprint towards Naruto. Naruto got into a defensive stance as the two approached. Naruto watched as one clone suddenly jumped high into the air and over him. During his lack of attention, the other clone used a haymaker on Naruto, who lost his footing. The clone that had jumped kicked Naruto in the back, sending the boy hurling towards another clone who had moved when Naruto had diverted his attention to the two sprinting clones. Naruto was sent into the air by an uppercut from the clone.
He felt another clone hit him in the back of the head with its heel while he in mid-air. Naruto was sent spiraling downwards head first before another clone kicked him in the gut while he was still in mid-air, causing his body to flip continuously towards a tree. When Naruto hit the trunk of the tree, he felt a strong punch in the gut that caused an indentation of his body in the tree. "Uzumaki Gihou: Roku Bushi Keigoku! (Uzumaki Style: Six Point Punishment!),"yelled the final clone as he pulled back his punch and letting Naruto fall to the ground.
Naruto coughed up blood as he struggled to get up. 'I'm not about to lose to some delicate duplicates of me!' Naruto thought to himself as the clones were walking away. Naruto struck the back of the head of the clone that had punched him. He flew to the closest clone and sent an elbow to its head before it had a chance to defend itself. He blocked a haymaker from one clone and countered with his own haymaker.
Naruto took a kick to the ribs, but tanked it and sent a nasty uppercut to the clone. He grabbed the wrist of one clone planning to punch him and threw it towards the last clone that barely dodged the makeshift projectile. The last clone tried to use a haymaker that Naruto blocked and then kneed Naruto in the gut. Naruto grabbed the clone by the back of the neck before head butting it, dispelling the last clone.
Naruto then limped home from the furious battle and decided a nice bowl of ramen and a long hot bath was needed.

AN: I am sorry it took so long for this chapter. I lost my flash drive and started to nerd rage and procrastinating at home. Then I got Mass Effect 3, so you know I was distracted by that. I have not beaten it yet, so I do not know why everybody is raging over the ending.
