The Hated Prodigy

"Okay brats listen up" Anko chewed on a dango stick while her team standing around her waiting for what was going to be said. "Now I know you have all been under from very intense training, and to be quite impressed by how far you have come over the last few weeks" she spoke proudly. Naruto grinned slightly, Katsumi nodded in acknowledgement and Yukari smiled softly under her high collar. "So I would like to give you this" Anko reached into her mesh shirt and pulled out three slips of paper.

"Are those chakra papers? Why do we need chakra paper if we already know our chakra natures?" Naruto asked.

"You don't I just pulled out the wrong thing, it happens" Anko reached back into her shirt.

Naruto dead panned "do you seriously keep everything in you bust or something?"

"Naruto... if you were a woman with assets you would too" Katsumi put a hand in her own shirt. "I mean look at this" Katsumi started to pull out a handle before pulling the weapon out completely. Naruto's jaw dropped as she had just pulled out the executioner's blade, a weapon which was taller than her out of her bust.

"I...I" Naruto began

"Naruto you really are stupid, how do you think Amaya keeps Tora in her bust all the time?" Yukari stated "also when did you take that sword?".

"Just before I took the other 'sword'" Katsumi pulled out the helm splitter. "Did either of you want it, I don't need both swords" she held up the helm splitter "does either of you want it, just take it anyway even if you don't I am sure you could give it to someone else". Katsumi tossed it to Yukari who sealed it in a scroll then passed it to Naruto, Naruto shrugged putting the scroll securely up his sleeve

"Now now don't be too hard on him you two" Anko stopped the conversation "men just don't understand". All three women laughed at Naruto's utter confusion on the logic of it but it was well known for woman they simply put an invisible storage seal there so it would be hard to find if someone was trying to find a hidden seal on them, also just to mess with men and flat chested women. "Anyway I found what I was looking for" Anko pulled out 3 forms. "So as I was going to say before, I am recommending you for the chunin exams that are in a couple of weeks".

"Yes" Yukari cheered "but please tell me you got the dates right this time, we arrived at the end of last years exam and missed out on becoming chunin".

"Oh I only said that because I didn't want to put fresh genin from the academy into dangerous territory" Anko crossed her arms.

Naruto's eyebrow twitched "you said before we were a match for any of the other genin there, what changed your mind".

Anko sighed deeply closing her eyes "I was only sugar coating it for you". Her eyes snapped open as chakra rolled of her body and cracked the ground beneath her to show she was in serious mode. Although Anko never had the same amount of chakra as Naruto or some elite jonin, her killing intent was beyond most and made even some top ninja freak out. Naruto and Yukari who had already faced multiple frightening things in their childhood managed to stay on their feet but were visibly shaking and Naruto had cold sweat running down his back, Katsumi on the other hand suffered the worst out of all of them falling to her knees afraid, dropping the executioner's blade in the process. "You three are strong for genin I will admit that however you have too many flaws to be called a good ninja" Anko glared at her team.

"Naruto, while you do not speak arrogantly I can see it all too well in your actions, that superiority complex will get you killed" Naruto opened his mouth to reply but Anko beat him too it. "Don't try and play innocent, you gave a prime example when you attacked Yin, you were so arrogant that you charged in recklessly and nearly got killed because of it". Anko turned her head to Katsumi "As for you, the way you cooperate with others in team working exercises is a disgrace to put it lightly, while not the worst, in a life or death situation you would probably get one of your team members killed" Anko sighed "you and the Aburame communication skills". Yukari shivered under Anko's gaze now on her "And you Yukari are the worst out of all of you, you have a similar arrogance to Naruto but you hate when anyone tries to help you, just because you have good intentions it does not make them right, the way you also push everyone out of your way to get what you want does not work, to be honest if I wasn't here and it was just you three on a mission, one little issue would make you fail the mission". Anko took a deep breath now that her lecture was over as her chakra and killing intent receded "but I will fix that in the remaining days we have before the exam starts so lets get started."

(Time skip)

It had only been a week since Anko had lectured them and true to her word, she had sorted out their issues mostly with a one on one full day training while the other two did their own training, then it switched round so all of them got full days of training. Katsumi's turn was today and was learning about communication while doing extreme sword exercises with the executioner's blade weight and size making it even harder. Yukari had left Naruto alone to train using her kodachis with a purple haired anbu that helped her in the past with family issues. Naruto on the other hand had to rest after Anko's intense training the day before so was walking through the village.

Naruto yawned looking at the sky lost in thought as he walked, accidentally bumping into somebody "sorry about that... huh?" He looked down to see he had actually bumped into sand not the person in front of him. The person turned half way around obviously female if her figure was anything to go by. She had dark red hair tied into twin tails that reach her shoulders, a kanji tattoo on her forehead meaning love and light green eyes with what seemed to be bold black eyeliner. She wore a black shirt with a mesh shirt underneath, a black pants, ordinary ninja sandals with tape around the ankles. Around over her right shoulder was a white piece of cloth and on he left shoulder was a large brown strap which held up a large gourd half her size on her back.

"Who are you" the girl turned fully to face him, her face unemotional.

"Naruto... um what's with the sand?" Naruto spoke unsure what else to say "and what's your name?"

The girl squinted her eyes "Gaia..." she then moved her mouth slowly into a creepy grin. "You seem... interesting... my existence..."

Naruto raised an eyebrow "what about your existence?" he ignored that she paid his question with little heed.

"I will prove my existence by..." Gaia suddenly stopped mid sentence as a disturbance could be heard from another street. Gaia dropped her grin back to it's unemotional state and jumped off in the direction of the disturbance, shrugging Naruto followed suit trailing right behind Gaia.

"You are a strange one you know that" Naruto told Gaia but was completely ignored. Gaia stopped on a tree branch above the scene while Naruto landed on another branch. Down below a boy wearing a cat suit with face paint and a large object wrapped in bandages on his back was holding up another boy a few years younger than him by the scruff of his shirt. Gaia just remain watching as Sakura was telling the cat dressed boy to let the child go but Naruto launched himself down. "I would advise you let go of him immediately" catching the cat boy by surprise, Naruto gripped the arm holding the young boy up "or you will have to deal with more than just me". Naruto put more pressure on the boys wrist to make him drop the younger boy.

"You better let go of me or else" the boy struggled trying to get out of the grip. Naruto never let go "Alright I warned ya" the boy pulled back his other fist ready to punch Naruto but the blond acted faster placing his palm on the cat boy's chest and sent a pulse of chakra through him. At first nothing happened but a few seconds later the boy fell to his knees holding his stomach as though he had been punched hard.

"Kankuro what are you doing on the floor he barely touched you" A blonde walked up to him slightly worried for the cat boy now named Kankuro.

"Shut it Temari this bastard must have done something to me" Kankuro wheezed out slowly getting up. "What did you do to me?" Kankuro shouted at Naruto. Naruto ignored him as he turned to see Sasuke's dramatic entrance.

"Hey you losers better cut it out, trying to act so high and mighty in someone elses village" Sasuke spoke sitting on the branch Naruto was previously on throwing a small pebble up and down.

Kankuro growled at Sasuke "You are not part of this so butt out if you know what's..."

"Kankuro shut up or I'll kill you like the disgrace you are" Gaia jumped down from her branch. "Naruto... you will be the one to prove my existence" she almost threatened as she started to walk away with Kankuro and Temari right behind her. Naruto shrugged and walked in the opposite direction completely ignoring Sasuke.

It took him 5 minutes to reach his destination of the local blacksmith. "hm I wonder if Tenten is home, she would know what to do with these" he referred to the helm splitter. Opening the door to the blacksmith and going inside he noticed a burly man with a large hammer banging on a sword at his forge. "Excuse me" Naruto called out to the man but it fell on death ears with the sword banging too loud.

"Hey Naruto" Tenten skipped over getting his attention. "Don't try talking to my dad during work, he won't talk while working even if he does hear you" Naruto nodded dumbly at her words. "So why are you here?"

"Well I was wondering if you would know what to do with these?" he took a scroll from his sleeve and gave it to her "I thought you would like them being a weapon expert and all that".

Tenten undid the seal on the scroll and the helm splitter appeared in an instant her eyes turned into massive stars. "Of course I like them, the legendary helm splitter a weapon of the hidden mist swordsman, this is so cool" she picked the weapon up and started giving it a few practice swings.

"I wouldn't swing it like that... ah" Tenten started to lose control of her swings do to the weight and flailed wildly. In that moment Naruto did the thing true friends would do in that situation, he leaped out the door he came in to save his own ass being cut off. Which was the smartest move considering the axe flew out after him and barely missed him between his legs 'why did I give her the weapon'. Naruto went extremely pale as Tenten rushed out to pick up the helm splitter once more to give it another try 'why are you doing this to me?' Naruto tried to crawl for safety as he cried anime tears.
