After meeting Ibiki who showed him the underground training grounds, the weapon room, and the library which 'Hydra' instantly created 4 Kagebunshin to begin looking through much to the amusement of Ibiki, he then had 'Hydra' list all the weak spots in the village that he was aware of so far and how he would bypass them to get into the areas that should be guarded as well as what the security in the area was failing at. After 6 hours of this Ibiki looked at Naruto who was still filling out reports and thought "If this kid wasn't an ally he would be our deadliest enemy."
After finishing up with security Ibiki called for a couple of ANBU and when they arrived Ibiki said "Neko, Dragon. I called you both here to inform you that I am putting you both with a team along with Hebi who is currently in the hospital and Hydra here. Now your team is a specialist team."
Dragon asked "What will our specialty be Ibiki-sama."
Ibiki said "Your specialty will fall into 3 categories, village defense, spies, and demons."
At this Neko said "Pardon me sir, but would you go more into our specialty to clear up the confusion I am having with some parts of it."
Ibiki said "Very well but first since we are in my office and the security seals are up go ahead and remove your mask and introduce yourself. Since Hebi isn't here I can inform you if you were not already aware of this that Anko is Hebi."
As the 3 took off their mask 2 sets of eyes widen and Ibiki said "Naruto Uzumaki, meet Yuugao Uzuki and Tenzo Yamato."
Yuugao said "Since when has he been ANBU."
Naruto said "I was made an ANBU by the Sandaime Hokage and was nominated for the position by my gennin squad leader Hatake Kakashi due to my ability with seals that has surpassed even the Yondaime Hokage as well as other things that I am sure Ibiki-sama will go into detail since I can see how most of our specialty will evolve around either Tenzo with his Mokuton bloodline, Anko with her interrigation experience, or myself due to the fact I've spent the last 6 hours going over security problems in the village I have encountered over the years with him as well as you heard earlier my bloodline that will allow me to drain a demon or bijuu of their chakra."
Ibiki said "Very good Uzumaki, as he stated he has in fact given me an entire list of security flaws and I would like you both to look at them." as he handed a folder to them and as they both began to read their eyes got wide and Tenzo said "I'm impressed with your detection skills at finding all these as well as the way you thought of to bypass them." as he skimmed it.
Yuugao said "No wonder you were able to pull the mountain prank off...I'm glad your on our side." as she skimmed it also.
Ibiki said "Now, what you see here is part of what your duties are going to be. The Sandaime original orders for Hydra here was for him to find weak spots and then exploit them to not only increase our village security but to also get our ANBU who are getting to complacent in their duties to get their butts back into shape. Your squad will be assigned to find these weak spots like those in your hand and after getting them I will give you an assignment you will carry out to exploit those targets. That is what your specialty of defending the village falls under. Now Hydra bloodline has a side effect that allows him to detect other peoples chakra making him a sensor though he is only begining to exploit these abilities he has already found 1 confirmed traitor who was in possession of several stolen bloodlines but also has been able to detect Orochimaru curse seals on another possible traitor and 2 others as well who has been hiding in plain sight for some time. Once he informed the Hokage of detecting it the Sandaime put this traitor team under ANBU surveliance as the team was already set to go on a mission outside of town before they were discovered and the ANBU team sent one message back and has not been heard from since. In 3 days time the team of possible traitors will be marked as such if they do not return by then or we hear from the ANBU by then. Also Hydra witnessed an S-rank missing nin of Suna named Akasuna no Sasori IN our village."
Yuugao asked "What, are you sure."
Ibiki said "Yes, we confirmed it as Hydra was able to identify something on Sasori that he could not have known the importance of and only someone who has met him would even have known about it. Hydra has never left the village so the only way he could have seen it was if Sasori was in the village."
Tenzo frowned and said "It appears that your going to be a very valuable asset to our village Hydra."
Naruto said "I'll try to be because I wish to prove myself and prove I'm me, nothing more, nothing less."
Ibiki said "Now your squad leader will be Tenzo with Anko as second in command. Naruto will still be on his gennin squad because the Sandaime wanted to try and pull a double deception by making it appear we have a skilled seal master in ANBU as well as an up and comming one in our regular ranks. The Yondaime has agreed with this decision so now any spies in our village will believe Konoha has 4 seal masters counting Jiraiya."
Yuugao asked "What about the rest of our duties sir."
Ibiki said "The rest of your duties will be looking for anyone who seems suspicious. You will inform me of this person and if I believe they warrent it you will capture the person and bring them here for questioning. The last of your duties lies in 2 folds. The first is if anything possibly related to a bijuu, Jinchuuriki, or demon appears you squad will be first to respond to it. The second part of your duties will be Orochimaru."
Tenzo said "Orochimaru."
Ibiki said "Yes...Hydra, please explain what you have discovered the true objective of the curse seal is."
Naruto nods and began to explain it and by the time he was done both Tenzo and Yuugao were shocked and Ibiki said "Now you understand that we can't have Orochimaru to continue to switch bodies and gaining more power and power as well as bloodlines or he will become to powerful for us to ever stop. With this information your squad will work on ways to counter his immortality jutsu as well as follow up any leads that we get about him. What I want from you is to begin training to take him out. Hydra, while you are a power house of chakra your actual skills and experience are low. You will have to work the hardest to get to the rest of your teams experience. Hebi is a trap, capture and poison expert, Dragon is a ninjutsu and taijutsu specialist and Neko is a Kenjutsu, genjutsu specialist. Ask them for help getting to their levels as quickly as possible. I'll send word to Kakashi as well who has informed me you know about his ANBU status as well and have him work with you to get your ninjutsu up even more and to help solidify your skills. Do you understand."
Naruto smirked and said "By the time the Chunnin exams gets here I'll be at their level."
Ibiki said "Big words, but can you back it up."
Naruto said "I don't take back my word. That's my nindo."
Ibiki said "Good, Dragon, they are all yours. Hebi should be released from the Hospital tomorrow knowing her."
Dragon nods and said "Alright both of you. I haven't ever worked with you before Hydra and it has been some time for you Neko so we will goto the training ground and spar to see what you both can do. Lets go." as him and Neko who had put on their mask disappeared in a swirl of leaves.
Naruto said "I have got to learn that." as he put on his mask and took off running.
Ibiki laughed and said "Now it's time to play with Danzo mind some more." as an evil smirk appeared on his face as he left his office and walked into another room where Danzo had been writing for several hours now once he had came back to ANBU headquarters with Naruto and Ibiki.
The next day Naruto arrived at training ground 7 and Sakura said "Hello Naruto."
Naruto yawned and waved and Sasuke said "Your actually tired."
Naruto said "Yeah, didn't get to sleep until 4 am this morning."
Sakura asked "ANBU."
Naruto frowned and said "Sakura, Sasuke...I know the baka let that info slip but don't use it...if we have to talk about it lets use studing history as a code word for it alright. I don't want to see either of you get in trouble for the baka mistakes and yes, studing was hard yesterday and last night."
Sasuke smirked and said "Learn anything new."
Naruto said "Yeah, never piss off a cat, they have sharp claws that hurt." as he raised his shirt and showed that his stomach and sides were taped up in medical bandages.
Kakashi who arrived said "Especially female ones huh."
Naruto said "Yeah, but you should have seen the tree get scratched up." with a smirk.
Kakashi said "Since the Hokage told you I will give you a little info about his team so you don't have to ask questions later. I was in ANBU as a captian and my mask was INU. Naruto teammates are Hebi, Neko, and Dragon who has a bloodline similar to the Shodaime Hokage. That is all I can tell you and for now I like your idea of redirecting for the code word but just use training and studing, not history since you won't get hurt like that studing history but you would training. Now Hokage-sama wants to see us for a mission. Lets go." as he turned and began to walk away and Naruto walked over and placed his hands on both Sasuke and Sakura shoulder and shushined them to the Hokage door shocking both and Naruto yawned and said "Told you I studied and trained hard last night."
Both nod as Kakashi appeared in a shushin behind them and said "Damn, I wanted some more reading time."
Naruto said "And I want to avoid the villagers. I got a fanclub now."
Sakura asked "Really...who."
Naruto said "Ami and half the girls from our class. I told them that Sasuke was still their best bet because he's rich and I'm flat ass broke. That got rid of some of them." with a smirk as he opened the door and ducked under a punch from Sasuke.
Minato who looked up when the door opened said "It appears that team 7 will always have teammates trying to kill each other, huh Kakashi."
Kakashi said "It appears so Minato-sensei. Team 7 here to request a mission."
Minato said "Ah yes, I have several here for you...are there any request you would like as a team." as he looked at Naruto which both Sasuke and Sakura notice.
Naruto notice as well and said "No Hokage-sama, after all we haven't earned the right to recieve special treatment of chosing our missions."
Minato sighed as Kushina came in carrying some paperwork from the side office and Naruto raised an eyebrow and said "Why do I feel your desk is about to be trash from to much moving."
Kushina blushed and said "Hey, it's back in it's original spot son."
Sasuke, Sakura blushed while Naruto made a face and said "Can we get our mission. I'm suddenly feeling sick."
Minato said "Yes, you have a mission of meeting Hiko Dika at the building department to help him in renovating and repairing a couple of houses on the east side of the village that have fallen out of code from not being lived in. This mission will take you the next 3 weeks. Your dismissed."
And so over the next 3 weeks the village was nailed with over 70 different surpise attacks by Team Serpent. As a result 144 ANBU were forced to do D-rank missions, while wearing a sign on the front and back of thier uniforms with a picture of a bullseye on the front and back...which the Konohamaru squad aka the KON squad, took turns nailing with water balloons filled with anything from water, paint, to mud...the signs also made it where the ANBU couldn't use chakra while wearing them so they got hit more times then you would expect...of coarse some of the ANBU later chased after the KON squad for revenge.
Outside of Team Serpent, Naruto had been doing one to 2 missions with his team as well as training with cross training with the other gennins.
Kiba said "What, why not. I mean you must have access to really powerful and cool jutsu. Why can't you show us or get us some of them."
Naruto sighed and said "Kiba, do you know how much I am having to work to hide my status. I'm having to create 2 seperate fighting styles that are different from each other to keep my cover. Take this for example." as he pulled out a scroll and unsealed a kunai and threw it and when it hit the ground a kagebunshin appeared.
Kiba said "So what, we saw you do that already."
Naruto said "Think so. Punch him." as he crossed his arms.
Kiba punched the clone who had picked up the kunai and when it hit the ground 2 Naruto appeared in a puff of smoke and one of them picked up the kunai and Naruto said "Punch the one with the kunai again Kiba."
Kiba frowned and then there was 3 and one picked up the kunai again and Kiba punched it and said "Wait, you mean every time that kunai hit's the ground it makes a kagebunshin."
Naruto said "Nope, those aren't kagebunshin."
Asuma said "Then if thier not kagebunshins. What are they."
Naruto said "I met a guy who could drain an enemy of thier chakra by touching them. It took me over 300 hours of trail and error with my kagebunshin to create this. I call them drain clones. Like a kagebunshin the knowledge when dispelled is transfered back to the original and the other clones...but a little known fact about Kagebunshin is any unused chakra is transfered back to the original and the clones as well...and so every time that seal on the kunai gets chakra it creates a clone but every time you touch one of the drain clones it absorbs your chakra so while they can only take one hit, like a hydra, the more times you cut off it's head the more that will appear until your facing an army or defeated."
Kakashi said "Or you use a wide area jutsu to take them all out."
Naruto said "That's the fun thing about this though, I took that in accounts also. Remember the Ho-bunshin jutsu I made. Well if you use a wide area jutsu instead of making kagebunshin which have no element, the clones that will be made will be elemental clones of whatever type of chakra was used to take them out...The only way to beat this is use the elemental counter like use fire against wind clones, water against fire clones, lightning against water clones and wind against lightning clones or weapons that don't have chakra reinforment."
Sasuke asked "What about earth."
Naruto said "I couldn't really come up with a counter for earth so if someone uses earth chakra against the clones then the clones will just become suicide clones who will charge at the enemy and explode."
Sakura said "Is that for you or for..."
Naruto said "That's for the other. Basically I'm going to just try to use the legend of the Hydra for my entire fighting style for him. Kill one and 2 pop up in it's place."
Asuma said "Not that bad of a strategy...but wouldn't people realise he's, you by the amount of chakra your using."
Naruto said "No, I got my seal master certification publically known now so after the Hokage had a couple of medics test the medical battery seal and approve of it I was able to get another seal called a battery seal acknowledge also for ninjutsu users. Now that the fact a battery seal publically exist now will draw attention away making others think he's got one of those battery seals. Especially with Tenten shop starting to sell the dress sphere seal and the anti-rape seal."
Sakura said "Wait, you finished it."
Kurenai said "Yeap, finished and tested already. A group of bandits was cut to pieces by one of our civilian cortesian spies last week."
Sakura turned and said "And you didn't tell me."
Naruto yawned and said "Sakura, look at my eyes, I've got bags under my bags. Between my duties on team 7, my duties there, training with my mother, my teams, group training, training with Tenten, and avoiding my fangirls and villagers, even I'm getting tired."
Kiba said "What are you doing avoiding. You scared of them like Sasuke."
Naruto said "No Kiba, the only reason I have a fanclub is because of the fact I'm the Yondaime's son. They don't care that most of my life they hated me or made my life hell, they just see the fame of being with someone whose the Yondaime son. They don't care about me as a person. For that reason I want nothing to do with them. I told my team already when I found out I'm engaged to the Yondaime Kazekage daughter, I rather be married to a poor peasant woman then a rich powerful princess if it meant I come home to love then come home to a woman who doesn't love me. Money and power are things I can get with my own hands. I don't need to be born to it or have it handed to me. I've done 143 D-rank missions since I've been a gennin. I've paid my rent, buy my own food, cloths, and supplies all on my own."
Kiba said "But why. I mean you could live with your parents and have more money to have fun...and why do so many D-rank missions."
Naruto shook his head and said "You could never understand Kiba...none of you could understand. Sensei, I'm not feeling well. Mind if I call it early today."
Kakashi said "Sure. Go get some rest."
Naruto bowed slightly to Kakashi shocking everyone there and he began to walk away.
Tenten bit her lip and said "Your not heading to your house."
Naruto said "I've rigged a deadman seal to the seals on my door after the baka and mom got in the last time. If I try and deactivate the seals to my place to get in before my normal hours off then the seals will send me to the ANBU holding cell in the forest of death for...you know...that might not be a bad idea now that I think about it...no, never mind, Anko will try raping me again. I'll just stay in the woods." as he moved into the woods away from town.
Tenten said "But what about the cabin."
Naruto said "That's the 2nd place THEY come look for me at now. I had to steal the Hokage crystal ball just to be able to hide from one of them. Mom and Iruka can find me no matter where I hide. Cya." as he shushined away.
Kiba frowned and said "I don't get him."
Kurenai said "Well I think we should all just...Hmm." as she saw an ANBU arrive.
The ANBU said "Good your all here. The Hokage needs all 4 of your teams for a mission."
Kakashi asked "What kind of mission Boar."
The ANBU said "B-rank, possible A...where is your other student Kakashi."
Kakashi said "He occupied at the moment..why."
The ANBU said "I was told to make sure he came."
A tired voice said "I'm here, I'm here." shocking everyone as Naruto crawled out of a hole near a tree on the edge of the clearing.
Ino screamed "What are you doing hiding in a tree."
Naruto said "Theres a cave underneath that tree I found when I was 6. I've hid in there a couple times on my birthday. Lets go see what the baka wants." as he put his hands in his pocket and began to walk away.
Some of the others frowned as they began to follow him while thinking of why he had to hide in a tree.
