A/N On we go. Now I must say thank you to all of my reviewers you have all been wonderful! One in particular brought up a good point and that is the name of my OC Chris. This is the name of a friend who recently died and it was the first name that popped into my head while reading so please do not make fun of names someone may choose it could have a serious meaning to it beyond what you like. I have a backstory for why his name is so different and have plans to put him with Anko however, Shinikage brought up a good point in the name does not really fit. So! since I am torn in two I will let you decide. Go vote on the poll on my page, (I like polls if anyone noticed) and vote for the names. I will list all of Shini's replacements and a vote for keeping the name the same. Either way this guy will be paired with Anko and he will treat her with as much love as Naruto does his girls!
For all you Hinata fans out there Please read the reasons on my profile page. Hinata is by no means weak I will prove it later on. She needs a kick in the ass as does every other girl. Should Naruto accept her he would be her crutch! She would never grow strong on her own! If something would happen to Naruto one of two things would happen in this case. She would suddenly grow a backbone, which when you think about it Naruto is Hinata's backbone! or she would break down. Hinata is not going to be in the harem and if you want more information either PM me or look at my profile for the reasons.
Now for the unveiling of the Harem Sisters! Did anyone guess who they were? Well... no one messaged me or left reviews with guesses (when I was typing this) so NO COOKIES FOR JOO! I was honestly surprised with the amount of unusual pairings I got voted for. Mei Terumi was top of the list so expect some short scenes with her showing up and possibly a mission to Mizu no kuni. Next up was Anko but I had chosen a guy who will pamper her above and beyond what I could write so she will be a little bit in the background while making appearances being happy. Next up was surprisingly the little used ANBU Neko Yugao. Happy for this I really like the pairing. Finally! It was a tie. Between Hana, which I have already referred a story to you Hana fans out there to go read just check chapter 3 for the name, and ... dun dun dun FemKyuubi everyone. You will see why she acts the way she does in the previous chapter and should connect some dots now. She will be referred to as female from now on. So Harem Sisters are: Kurenai Yuuhi, Mei Terumi, Yugao Uzuki, and FemKyuubi which I think I might have to come up with a last name for her.
I personally like Kakashi but seeing as this is my first fic. I am going to bash him a little. He will be a little bit of Sasuke's bitch in the beginning but he won't stay that way for too long. And it won't be because Naruto is his Sensei's son either.

Chapter 4- The Unmasking
The Hokage sighed looking at the team placements. This flawed system seemed to hurt more than help. Indeed because Naruto had come in at the last year instead of being mid class as he had been trying to do instead of excelling he had wound up tied with Kiba Inuzuka for the dead last position of the class. No doubt due to tampering by the academy but the Hokage had no proof so he had to accept it. He did not expect more than three teams to pass the final test but the question was who would get those teams. Kakashi Hatake was one. Sarutobi was considering his son for the Ina-shika-cho second generation. That left one spot to fill. The Hokage went and looked at the list for the Jounin sensei and chuckled. "O! This will be interesting." A drop of blood fell from the Hokage's nose before he wiped it and decided on the teams. He would let people plead their case later but he was rather happy with the way he had the teams and only someone with a VERY good argument would change them.
The Hokage mused as he waited for more of his DAMNED paperwork to arrive. The past 6 years had been good to Konoha. He had managed to wrest most of his power back at this point though the council still held too much power. He had an iron grip when it came to enforcing the laws now. He chuckled as he thought of the pranks Naruto had played and hoped the boy realized that it was two fold. He was pretty sure he did but Naruto was one of the people the Hokage had a hard time reading since he acquired his blade and began living on his own. Oh he could get a bead on what Naruto was thinking but he always managed to surprise him. That ANBU prank was hilarious. He sighed as he looked out at the Hokage monument when it shimmered and... wait a minute shimmered? All of a sudden the Hokage monument was covered in paint for the Hokage's. A tree painted on the first's face, a sweatdrop on the second, a nosebleed for the third and for the Fourth... a yellow streak across his nose. Sarutobi was amused and angry at the same time. Funny for his grandson's skill and angry for showing him as a pervert and nothing more. Then a primate shimmered onto the Third's face. Sarutobi nodded his head as if that settled the issue and started to laugh.
Timeskip That evening
All of the Jounin sensei had arrived minus one. The Hokage was waiting for this person and had told him to be here 3 hours earlier so when he arrived one hour late the Hokage sighed and said "Welcome Kakashi!" Kakashi's eye narrowed. "You told me to come earlier than the actual time didn't you?" The Hokage chuckled "Now why would I do something like that?" Whistling innocently. Before sporting a grin that had some of the former ANBU flinching. "Now then let us get on with the team placements shall we. Please if you have any preferences state them now."
Kakashi spoke up, "I would like Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki." Many were surprised who would want the demon boy? The Hokage narrowed his eyes. "Why Naruto?" "Because they have a form of rivalry and it will spur them both on but Sasuke must remain stronger for it to work." Kakashi stated. "So you would intentionally weaken a potential ninja just for the betterment of another. Pathetic Kakashi. Sasuke is granted and Naruto... I will see." Kakashi seemed taken aback by the venom in the Hokage's voice before nodding and sitting down to read his favorite little book. Only to cry out "My eye!" someone had changed out his precious smut with... with! Yaoi! There was a chibi Naruto with a V sign. All the females chuckled when they noticed it and made notes to treat the boy nicer next time they saw him.
Asuma spoke up, "I would like to request the next generation Ina-shika-cho." "Very well any objections?" None of the jounins spoke up so the Hokage nodded and jotted it down "Granted."
The Hokage looked up and noticed someone he was hoping for. Kurenai had made it to her Jounin rank and she was willing to take on a team. She stepped forward and said, "I would like Hinata Hyuuga. the rest of my team I would prefer a tracker team." The Hokage nodded then a small smile graced his face. "Any objections." Kurenai was a little worried when the Hokage smiled that usually meant he planned something and with him being the guiding force for the strongest ninja village in the land that was something to be wary about. No one spoke up and the Hokage smiled a bit wider "Granted!" he said with some enthusiasm. He chuckled pervertedly in his head. O did he have the best prank!
The rest of the pickings went by fast with no one of particular interest until they were finally done. The Hokage was pleased with all of his Jounin except Kakashi that remark about Naruto reminded him too much of what Naruto had already gone through in life and said, "Ok the decisions have been made and the teams are..."
Timeskip Next Morning
Naruto awoke from his peaceful slumbers with Kyuubi and Kamikaze. "Morning Kyuubi Kamikaze." he thought. The fox replied fastest "Kit" and Kamikaze right after "Good Morning Naruto-sama." He was in a good mood. Today was when he would find out what his team was. But this was a bad omen to Naruto. whenever he was in a good mood something always happened to send it down the toilet. Now Naruto was by no means a pessimist but he believed that very good mornings were really only ok when you had someone to share it with. Somewhere within the city and in Mizu no Kuni 4 women sneezed. Deciding to just enjoy it while it lasted he started on his usual morning ritual but did not do as much training as normal so as to get that new outfit he had promised himself and to be ready for whatever his team training may entail.
After breakfast, Naruto made his way to Chris' shop yet again. He had told Chris pretty much everything about himself he was his closest confidant and he could count on Chris to help him should he need it. As such he knew about all his pranks and honestly roared with laughter at what he did a year ago. Walking into the store and greeting Chris "Ohayo Chris-nii-san" "Ohayo otouto." Chris replied back. "Coming to get your new wardrobe?" "Hai!" Naruto responded. Chris pulled out a long black box and set it on the counter. "Consider this a present from me to you for graduating. It has repair seals and growth seals so it should be nigh indestructible."
Naruto took the box and opened it. Inside lay a beautiful coat. It was black with some streaks of crimson on it. Upon its back rested a Kyuubi surrounding a sword with wind whipping it up. Seeming almost as if the Kyuubi was protecting the sword while at the same time riding the wind. Naruto was stunned with the intricacy of the needlework and hoped he never broke this. "That is Ninja silk made from nin spiders so only the hottest fires will burn the cloak wear it with pride. I have set aside some of the money you paid when you came here and have saved up to make this for you with you paying half." "Arigato Nii-san." Naruto said.
Naruto ventured further into the store to pick out compliments to his new coat. Choosing a mesh shirt to go underneath a crimson shirt made with lightweight metal links within the shirt. Black cargo pants with a place for his kunai and shuriken and a hidden pocket for some senbon. He grabbed some sturdy sneakers to house his feet. He always wondered why a ninja would wear sandals when he would be attacking with his feet. Unfortunately boots were too heavy but these lightweight sneakers with a steel woven tip. made him a bit toe heavy but it would have to work for now. So wearing his new outfit he stepped out of the changing booth and donned his new cloak. It reached down to about mid calf and did not obstruct mobility. All in all he was very pleased with his new outfit. He paid for his outfit and ordered about 5 more like it and headed off to school.
As he walked he received weird looks but few were of hatred. They were wondering who would wear the Nine Tails on his back but he was proud of it "Damn straight your proud!" Kyuubi remarked. Naruto smirked behind his face mask.
He had finished the Anti-rape seal and got the old man to test it and he had some punk named Jiraiya to look over the seal. It had been accepted as a revelation but he had not announced when it would hit stores or even that he was going to sell it none of the women had been told of it yet to avoid a riot because Naruto refused to sell it yet. He had finished its testing days ago and was finally cleared to get it start selling. He found chakra holding seals within the shiki fuuin and modified them to hold chakra so the Henge/Transformation would last up to a month. It may not save all of the Women but it would save a good amount. It worked by storing chakra in it when it was applied and had a one time usage. Once activated it would remain active until the Kunoichi decided to cut it off. Because of the small amount of chakra a henge takes the small henge could last a month before dispelling. Once the technique was stopped or dispelled you had to reapply the seal to have access to it again. As a side note it was able to be turned off. It activated when a person tried to invade the Kunoichi's pussy or ass or if the Kunoichi activated it. The seal would sense the intrusion and automatically activate should the Kunoichi have it turned on. This kept them from being raped while knocked out. It would knock the person back with a small burst of chakra and engage the henge. No side affects have surfaced and it was hailed as genius even by Jiraiya. The caged bird seal was next on his list after that. Naruto liked seals but too many could become a problem within the world he would make some for his family home and the like but that field was too dangerous to tamper with.
Naruto arrived at the academy. He made quite the imposing figure he had grown a few inches in the last year making him a flat 5' with his cloak billowing in the wind, his face mask covering his mouth and cheeks and the hilt of his sword (the swirl is hidden by that demonic genjutsu) sticking up from his right shoulder. Some of the students avoided him outright and he smirked underneath his face mask as he made his way to the classroom for what was, hopefully, the final time. When he walked in all of the class froze. Stunned at the new appearance. He had never come in so blatantly obvious. "Trying to look more like me eh dobe?" Sasuke said trying to bring some of the attention back to him. "No if I were, I would cut my hair to look like a duck's ass." Naruto responded quickly. Now that he was a genin he could let loose a little because the council could not touch him. The rest of the class snickered after looking at Sasuke's hair.
Sasuke hned and turned around to continue his brooding satisfied his fangirls had returned their attention. Naruto sat down next to Shikamaru and Shino. "Morning Shino, Shika." Shino and Shikamaru looked at Naruto and responded "Morning" before going back to their usual quiet selves. Naruto looked around and waited for Iruka to get here for the Team placements. He hoped he would not get the Uchiha or any of his fangirls. God they were annoying. He noticed Hinata's blush and really hoped he would not be on her team either. He would break her heart to make sure she stayed alive but he did not relish the idea of hurting a woman. "It is for the best Naruto-sama she cannot remain the way she is if she is to survive." Kamikaze remarked. "Kill or be killed." Kyuubi simply said.
While Naruto had been musing Iruka had entered and started his speech on what it means to be a ninja and all the responsibilities it entails and he finally came to the team placements. "... So I wish you luck in your new careers. Now, Team 1 will be..." Naruto tuned him out and felt sorry for the ones who were going to fail the next test for Genins. He was sure the Jounins were to test them because the academy test did not make a ninja ready for the rigorous life of ninja. "... Team 7 will be Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and Kiba Inuzuka." Ignoring the cries of 'True love prevails' and two head smacks against the wood Iruka continued. "Team 8 will be Naruto Uzumaki," Naruto's head picked up. "Shino Aburame," Naruto nodded at his new teammate and comrade happy so far, "and Hinata Hyuuga" 'THUMP' everyone turned to see Hinata passed out on the floor. Naruto groaned and looked at Shino. Shino seemed amused at the turn of events with a hidden sadness at what Naruto was going to have to do. Shino was one of Naruto's only friends them being, the old man, Chris, Shika, and Shino. Naruto was close to Choji but he was more of an affiliate than a friend. So he knew what Naruto planned for their new teammate. "Team 9 is still in circulation so Team 10 will be Ino Yamanaka, Choji Akimichi, and Shikamaru Nara." Your Jounin Senseis will be here shortly. Good luck once again." With that Iruka exited.
Kurenai was walking to go pick up her team when she thought back to the team placements.
Author Yami Style Flashback no Jutsu
"The teams will be..." They were shocked when they heard Kakashi was not getting who he wanted. It was the first time he had actually requested somebody and he was being turned down. Kurenai was quite happy the way he talked about Naruto showed he did not care at all. Kakashi spoke up, "Why is Kurenai getting him she did not even request him." The Hokage narrowed his eyes angry he had been questioned as to his methods after his earlier outburst. "Because she will treat him fairly not merely as a stepping stone for another. What is your ultimate rule Kakashi?" Kakashi bowed his head in shame when he thought about that and said "Hai Hokage-sama."
Kurenai spoke up then, "I am happy however, what does Uzumaki-san bring to a tracker team?"
The Hokage chuckled, "I see none of you read the report I sent out eh? I had hoped one would notice. He has sense advanced FURTHER than a nin dog." This set the Jounin ablaze with jealousy at such high sense that they had to train for years to reach. "He will be the perfect addition and Kiba will balance out team 7 while giving them what they need a tracker and close combat expert. Naruto will be become your ninjutsu expert and with Hinata's Jyuuken and Shino's bugs combined with your genjutsu it is a all around perfect team setup." After the Hokage's explanation no one had a comeback for why she should not have him. "You are all dismissed. "Kurenai please stay a moment."
Kurenai nodded her assent and waited while the others filed out. The Hokage put up a privacy seal and said "Now that no one can hear us let me hear your opinion of Naruto." Kurenai
responded almost immediately. "I see no wrong in him Hokage-sama his pranks brighten our day and if he were the Fox why would he do such things. He is simply a misunderstood boy who is yearning for attention and guidance."
The Hokage stared at her a full three minutes before sighing and saying, "I am glad you feel that way. I am aware you are friends with ANBU Neko correct?" Kurenai nodded. "Please bring her with you when you test your teams. She will not have any missions for a few days. Naruto is much stronger than he appears. He has a sword that I think Neko might find interesting." That mischievous glint back in his eye. The Hokage said "You are dismissed." Kurenai turned around and walked out wondering about the enigma that is Naruto.

She continued on her way with Yugao in regular Jounin attire next to her carrying her sword. After explaining to Yugao the Hokage's suggestion she immediately agreed happy to see someone so young interested in swordplay. They walked up to the door with the rest of the Jounin Sensei and proceeded to enter.
Naruto watched as the door swung open and in walked 11 people. His eyes widened as he took in the last 4 though. Hatake Kakashi, the copy ninja, Son of the White Fang, and so called prodigy or Konoha. Asuma Sarutobi, son of the old man, wielder of Trench knives and the only other wind user within Konoha, part of the twelve Ninja Guardians who protect the Fire Lord. But it was the final two who had him sweating bullets. Murasaki-hime who he had found out from Chris was Yugao Uzuki and his own Megami-chan, Kurenai Yuuhi. "Hehe caught like a deer in the crosshairs." Kyuubi was amused by the predicament. He was not expecting to have both of them here as Jounin Sensei. He watched as they scanned the room and waited with bated breath as their eyes passed over him. He had removed his own genjutsu but his sword's hilt remained hidden. They did not linger on him and he let out a sigh of relief. Which quickly turned into curses to the Old Man for he was sure to have set this up. "Team 8 please follow us." Kurenai said and motioned for them to follow her and Yugao.
"Damn now I can't use Kamikaze." "Do you not think it would be ok? perhaps she has done as you asked and put it behind her." Kamikaze remarked. Naruto responded "Perhaps but I will still try to refrain from using you if that is ok Kamikaze." "I am not happy Naruto-sama but you do it for the right reasons I will accept this for now but should you put yourself in danger I will not hesitate to take control of your arm and pull myself consequences be damned." Naruto was a little surprised at Kamikaze but accepted nonetheless. He got up with Shino and Hinata and headed out to their senseis.
Once they were outside Kurenai turned and said "Meet us at training ground 8 in about 20 minutes." And both She and Yugao shunshined away. Naruto made a pointed look at Shino "Keep Hinata busy for the 20 minutes" was the silent message Naruto sent and Shino nodded as Naruto shunshined to the two women to inform them of Hinata's crush and how he was going to break it.
Kurenai and Yugao appeared in the training grounds area. It was a all around training area with some rocky places a forest a small waterfall and a meadow. Not 1 minute later Naruto shunshined in as well with a little burst of air. Both Jounin were stunned that he could do such a high level technique already but hid their surprise well. He turned to them and smiled, or it appeared he did and spoke "Unfortunately We are probably going to get off on the wrong foot. I am about to do something that must be done to allow this team to succeed. Shino is taking care of the preparations but you must not interfere until I give the signal." The Jounin were surprised here was a genin telling them what to do. Kurenai spoke up, "What are you going to do?" Naruto smiled sadly and said "Break a girl's heart." At that moment Hinata walked into the training ground followed closely by Shino.
The Jounin were stunned at his declaration and he spoke up saying "Well maybe we should introduce ourselves." That snapped them out of their stupor and they started the introductions.
"Yes well. I am Kurenai Yuuhi, I like Genjutsu, Anko-chan, Yugao-chan, and Romance novels. I dislike perverts and that orange book that shall remain nameless. My dream is to be the foremost Genjutsu master in the world and to see you get to Jounin." Kurenai said
"I am Yugao Uzuki, I like Kenjutsu, Anko-chan, Kurenai-chan, and Mystery Novels. My dislikes are the same as Kurenai. and my dream is to become a Kenjutsu master and pass it on to my kids." said Yugao
"You will call us Kurenai-sensei and Yugao-sensei. Now Shino your up."
"I am Shino Aburame, I like Naruto, bugs, and learning about different types of bugs. I dislike those who kill bugs for no reason. My dream is to become clan head and help Naruto achieve his." Shino said.
"Um... I am Hinata Hyuuga, I like lavender and... " she glanced at Naruto "I dislike perverts and the caged bird seal. My dream is to abolish the caged bird seal and become clan head." (Imagine her stuttering) Hinata stuttered out and Kurenai smiled at the shy young girl.
Naruto sighed as he caught her glance. " I am Naruto Uzumaki, I like foxes, Kenjutsu, Ninjutsu, and seals. My dislikes are perverts, rapists, and child beaters. My dream for the future is to become the strongest shinobi in the land to protect all my precious peoples."
Kurenai blinked and smiled softly at her team. She got a good bunch. Now it was time to test them. But before Kurenai could speak Naruto beat her to it again. "Hinata if there were another test for genin to become genin besides what was taught in the academy what would it be based on? Shino?" After a few seconds Hinata's eyes widened at her answer and Shino nodded. They said in unison "Teamwork." "Hehe smart kids eh Kurenai-sensei?" Kurenai was flabbergasted he deduced there was another part of the test and completed it all without even being given the test. Who is this kid? Definitely not the dead last of the academy.
"Now Hinata what would you say would be the best teamwork a team could come up with?" Naruto questioned. This put Kurenai on edge she knew of Hinata's crush and was hoping Naruto would not crush her. Shino put himself in the way and shook his head at Kurenai a clear indication not to interfere. "Ano... I am not sure Naruto-kun." Hinata stuttered again. Naruto steeled himself and said "Being able to kill one another." Hinata seemed confused until Naruto took a taijutsu stance that had Yugao gasping. Yugao recognized that style even if it wasn't the true style. It was the Fourth's style! Where did he get information on that it should be locked up in the Hokage Vault!
Naruto lunged forward as fast as his seals would allow and started to fight Hinata. He went for a right hook she blocked and spun away to get some distance and took her stance and hesitantly activated her Byakuugan. "What are you doing Naruto-kun?" Hinata stuttered. "I am breaking you of your naive ways Hinata and allowing you to fight to your full potential by killing you." With that he put his deadly taijutsu to actual work for the first time. Accurately dodging her Jyuuken strikes because she would not attack any vitals and delivering debilitating strikes on his own. Kurenai and Yugao watched transfixed and horrified Naruto was actually hurting his teammate! Nothing too hurtful but she was clearly going to be hurting in the morning. Finally after a nasty roundhouse kick Naruto stood looking down on Hinata. "You are weak Hinata. You allow others to walk all over you and will not fight back. This team will not continue with you as you are. You must be willing to attack and kill. A ninja is destined to kill. It is our lot in life. If you are afraid to take a life then you do not belong within the shinobi ranks." He then leaned down and cupped her chin and pulled her eyes to his.
"That is what makes you weak and what makes you strong. Your kindness is rarely found within a human. Draw strength from it. Allow yourself to be kind to those around you. Use that kindness that makes you want to protect someone to kill your nice side within battle Hinata. You must be able to strike me in the heart with a Jyuuken strike for sparring with me while ignoring my vitals means you will ignore the vitals on a bandit. What happens when that bandit you are fighting turns around and kills me because I trusted you to have my back but you held back not wanting to kill? Do not relish in killing. Simply do it because you must. Your crush for me is built out of adoration. Adore yourself. Climb to your peak and become the serious Kunoichi you are destined to be." Hinata stood with tears in her eyes and said "Hai Naruto." She would not call him Naruto-kun not after that. Kurenai was angry that he had been so brutal but what he said seemed to have worked and Shino lowered his bugs.
"I am sorry for resorting to such extreme measures Hinata but for this to work. I need you to focus. Do not love me. I am incapable of loving you. I will not allow myself to. I have noticed the hatred of my village just as you have and you know your father would never allow it. Try Kiba he is a bit of a pervert but if you make him yours he will be loyal to a fault." Hinata nodded still crying but with determination shining in her lavender orbs. Satisfied he had accomplished what needed to be done he walked up to Shino and said "Arigato." Shino punched him in the jaw. "Don't ever hit your comrades again and I will consider it thanks enough." Shino was not happy he went further than he had planned but he accepted it. His logical side said it was for the best but he needed to get that out of his system. "Hai Shino." Naruto was not angry he knew what Shino was thinking.
Kurenai just shook her head. It seems she got the crazy bunch. But they will be great she was sure of that. Already showing a comraderie that was rarely seen even within Konoha. "Alright since I have seen Hinata's fight and Naruto's Taijutsu. Shino come spar with me. Taijutsu only. I wish to see where you stand." About 40 minutes later. Kurenai was breathing slightly fatigued while Shino was sweating bullets. Stamina was not their strong suit. "Enough, Yugao would you like to test Naruto's blade?" Yugao nodded her eyes shining. Naruto thought, "So much for not using you Kamikaze. You ready?" "Hai Naruto-sama. You have only used me to kill some worthless bandits since those genins. This will be a true test of your skills progress." Naruto walked to the edge of one training ground and asked. "So what are the rules Yugao-sensei?"
Yugao pondered for a moment. "Kenjutsu only, no jutsu." Naruto raised his eyebrow at the little limitations and said, "Very well let us begin." He got into his stance his body completely relaxed and unsheathed his sword with a slight "shing" sound mirrored by his opponent. His sword point facing towards the ground. He whispered "Kai" and released the level 5 resistance seal down to level 3 so he could survive the coming ordeal. He said "Whenever you are ready Sensei."
Yugao took in his stance. It seemed to be full of holes in defense. Obviously an amateur swordsman. She watched him careful. He remained still only really moving when the wind would blow across the training ground. They stood there for 2 minutes before Yugao moved dashing across the meadow at low chuunin speeds. Naruto saw her coming a mile away. He had already moved his weapon into the block before she swung. She came from high and stroked down to come across his chest in a arcing pattern. Their blades collided with a resounding
CLANG
Clang
Clang
Clang
Every attack she tried on him. Every skill was blocked. She decided to step it up. Moving to low Jounin speeds he seemed to be slowing down and managed to block most of the cuts but he would always avoid the hits. A Downward slash blocked. A thrust parried and thrown away. A horizontal slash back stepped and stepped up into her guard. He was showing skills of a Kenjutsu master! Indeed according to Kamikaze, Naruto has almost completed his own style of Wind Style. Once mastered it would be unable to be copied for the erratic movements required and should someone try to copy without the proper training it would result in horrible muscle pains and possible tearing. Finally after 20 minutes of straight Kenjutsu, Yugao stepped back she was breathing slightly heavy but could see Naruto was only slightly winded that legendary stamina of his holding out. She admired the blade and could say it seemed familiar. All of a sudden Naruto's eyes turned red and he looked into the trees to his right.
"Yugao-sensei! protect Hinata, Shino get with Kurenai-sensei!" As soon as he shouted two Nins came out of the Forest. One wearing a scratched headband from Iwa looking to be a jounin by his attire. The other was wearing a scratched headband from Kumo looking to be a chuunin. "Well well well... Look who we have here. The Genjutsu Mistress of Konoha Kurenai Yuuhi. Swords-mistress Yugao Uzuki. and some frightened genin." The Iwa nin scowled. "You killed my brother you bitch of a mistress." looking fiercely at Kurenai. "I will bring the Byakuugan back to my village and I will be hailed as a hero! Perhaps I will be allowed to father the first of the new Byakuugan." He finished with a perverted leer at Hinata who shrunk back. "How the hell did these guys get within the city walls?" Naruto thought was he gauged his opponents. Naruto spoke up and said, "Well you have about 5 minutes before the ANBU get here so lets get started neh? I will take a Kumo nin, Yugao sensei stay next to Hinata till this is finished. Shino assist Kurenai in her battle." They all nodded and went to their respective jobs as they faced off. The Chuunin sneered. "You think you can take me little boy? I was fighting battles before you were sucking bottles." Naruto shook his head, "Enough banter lets get this started. Fuuton: Daitoppa(Great Breakthrough)" blowing out of his mouth he sent a large wind at the chuunin who just stuck to the ground and retaliated. "Raiton: Kaminari Saji (Lightning Surge)" The lightning spread across the ground going after Naruto.
Naruto jumped back and avoided the attack. He sent another jutsu at him "Fuuton: Renkuudan(Spiraling Fist)" the ball of compressed air went flying at the enemy and Naruto came charging right after it with his sword drawn. The enemy nin jumped and dodged the jutsu but came down to Naruto attempting to slash him on his downward arc. He quickly put his hand guard up and blocked the strike. Starting a fierce close combat fight. Naruto sent another slash his way. The enemy nin using lightning manipulation put some electricity in his hands and went to grab the blade expecting his chakra enhanced gloves to catch it. He screamed a few seconds later when he noticed how the blade dispelled his lightning and cut right through his hand. "Nice work Kamikaze." "You have advanced well to defeat a chuunin at this point Naruto-sama." Once he realized the nin was still screaming he promptly took advantage of the situation and beheaded him. Confidant he has dispatched his enemy he turned around to look at the other fight going on. He cursed in his head and disappeared with a "Kai" and a burst of speed.
A few moments earlier...
The fight had been going well with Kurenai stopping the Jounin with her genjutsu and Shino sucking him dry of chakra with his bugs when it all changed. They heard a scream from the other ninja and their opponent seemed to sense the genjutsu at the same time. He broke the genjutsu and after spewing a Fire dragon jutsu on all the surrounding bugs proceeded to make handsigns. Kurenai tried to catch him in another genjutsu but he finished his jutsu right as she did and it did not catch in time. So now Kurenai and Shino were staring down a fast moving spike of earth with fire rolling around it making it seem like a flaming bullet. Kurenai knew she did not have the speed to dodge or pull off a Kawarimi and stood there looking in abject horror at how she was going to die on her first day as a sensei. "Hmmm, I wonder what that swordsman is doing now." Thats when someone showed up in the path of the bullet holding a sword high.
Naruto cursed as he had wanted to keep this a secret. His crimson aura flowing around him unknowingly dispelling the demonic genjutsu. He swung his sword down like he did so many years ago and spoke the name of the attack, "Benikaze" it sent the wave cutting through the bullet and saving his sensei and friend and because of the genjutsu cast by Kurenai slicing the opposing jounin's arm and leg off. He screamed and fell down to his knee. Naruto ignored the 3 gasps behind him 2 from recognition one from the brutality and walking over to the enemy, beheaded him as he did his comrade. Sighing once more. "Looks like the fox is out of the bag Kit. Though I have to say you have quite the devious mind to account for every interaction but a fight here." Kyuubi said before laying down for a fox-nap. He pulled down his face mask, "No reason trying to deny it now, damn you old man I am sure you set this up!" He turned around to face the music.
Kurenai couldn't believe it, here was the swordsman who had saved her so many years ago. Living right under her nose. It was the pariah of the village! Then another thought occurred to her. The Hokage lied to her! He knew he was here and told her otherwise. O she was pissed!
Yugao was transfixed on the blade. It had appeared in her dreams a few nights in the past year. She would always wonder who it was who could prank ANBU with a sword. She had suspected Naruto but he never had a sword with him so she could never verify it. That swirl and that attack such grace and definition. O She had to know more!
Hinata and Shino were just in awe of the attack and seeing their teammate kill two higher ranking ninja. Hinata was wondering if she could get as powerful. Shino was wondering if he had always been this powerful and if this was the reason for his bugs skittishness.
Naruto turned around and Kurenai and Yugao gasped yet again at the red eyes shown by their young charge. "Hello again Megami-chan, Murasaki-hime, been awhile has it not." Naruto spoke having a deeper voice than normal with his battle mode activated. Whenever Naruto had activated this state before he would gain speed and strength as well as better eyesight. After contacting Kyuubi he asked if it was its chakra he was tapping into but Kyuubi said it wasn't so he just chalked it up to a bloodline or something since he could not accurately account for another power source.
Shino and Hinata were a little confused as to the names until they saw the looks of shock on their senseis' face.
"Naruto I believe an explanation is in order." Shino stated
Naruto sighed and said. "Hai, follow me, we will go to the Hokage's office. What I have to say should not be heard by the wrong ears." All of them just nodded as Naruto deactivated his battle mode and his features returned to normal. He sheathed Kamikaze and they all shunshined to the Hokage's office.
Hokage's Office
Naruto and his team shunshined into the office and Naruto glared at the Hokage. "I know you had something to do with this you old geezer! Dammit I had a reason for that request!" The Hokage blinked and then took in the state of the team and said "What happened? yes I put you with Yugao and Kurenai but nothing else should have happened."
After explaining the stuff on the team training ground and handing in the two heads which gained them a C-rank and A-rank missing nin bounty. The Hokage shook his head. "I had hoped you would have built a little bit of your relationship before having to discard with your pretenses though I think this will be good for you." Kurenai spoke up before anyone else though and asked "Why did you lie to me about him Hokage-sama?" "Me too" Yugao pitched in. The Hokage turned his eyes to Naruto with a questioning glance. Naruto sighed and scratched his head. "Because I told him to." Kurenai turned a hurtful gaze on him and Yugao was just shocked he wouldn't want recognition for what he had done.
"I suppose I should start at the beginning lets get some food and get comfortable this is going to be a long story." "Are you going to tell them everything Naruto-sama?" Kamikaze spoke up. "Hai if it is ok with you. I must trust these people and they have proven trustworthy so far." "Just be careful mentioning you can speak with me these people, even the Hokage, are fearful of what they don't understand." Kyuubi informed. "I will leave out talking to you and just say I met you and you threw me out the mindscape. Keeps with your demon persona right?" He said with a little bit of sarcasm and returned his attention to the people sitting around the Hokage's office with some food on the table. Sighing one last time he began his tale. "Jiji put up a silencing barrier. Please" After pausing for the glow of the barrier. "It all started on my seventh birthday, I was... then I passed the exam and am now assigned to your team. Should you not wish to work with me anymore I will understand."
The Hokage waited in bated silence to see what his teammates would do. Shino spoke up rather fast and said "So you are hated for what you carry as well it makes no difference what you hold you have saved the village every day you draw breath. You will always be my first and best friend." Having said that he bumped fists with Naruto and he waited patiently for Hinata's decision. Hinata finally spoke up after about 2 minutes of silence. "Naruto that is a lot to take in. Though it is amazing what happened to you when you were younger. I would be proud to call such a brave person as you as my friend." surprising even herself by not stuttering. Naruto laughed happy for his first few friends acceptance and said " Well Hinata it seems my lesson is working rather fast eh?"
He turned to the two elder women within the room and his eyes saddened for having hurt them. They had been looking for him but he was trying to save them pain. "Gomen Megami-chan Murasaki-hime. I had tried to hide from you in an attempt to keep you from pain but it seems all I did was compound on it." Yugao spoke up "Damn right you little blonde swordsman. Well we will have to have an all out Kenjutsu battle to the end of time to figure out whether I should forgive you." She turned away from him with a small smile on her face. Kurenai was still trying to digest everything he had said. "Well I guess I could forgive you but can we talk after this?" Naruto nodded and said that he would take her to his apartment later. The Hokage then spoke up.
"So Naruto you did not think it prudent to tell me you had a sentient sword eh?" Naruto smiled sheepishly. "That you had also taken the book of seals written by the Yondaime! That you had made contact with the Kyuubi!" Naruto flinched at each accusation but turned to his Hokage and said, "I was not a ninja at the time and I was not required to inform you. I needed an edge should the civilian council find a way to go around you Jiji. I am sorry." He hung his head. The Hokage sighed, "All of that is true and stealing the book of seals is a serious offense. However, I think we can overlook it in light of recent events. Good job Naruto in protecting your team from those missing nins. I would like to see your taijutsu and if I can I will get you the actual Hummingbird Style since you are obviously the only person within the village who can use it." Naruto's eyes lit up and he said, "Hai Ji-san."
Naruto paused remembering something "So Ji-san my seal is ready to be sold correct?" "Hai Naruto." "Good Kurenai-sensei, Yugao-sensei, Hinata come here a moment." Naruto reached into his pouch and took out 15 anti-rape seals. "Kurenai-sensei after hearing your account of how you were almost raped three times in a single day and looking over the seals of the Yondaime, I decided to make what I call an anti-rape seal. I had made my sexy jutsu off of it but no one knows the true purpose of that jutsu. It is an actual transformation." All of the women were hanging off his words at this point. "This seal I have created, tested, and perfected will be sold in Konoha soon but I want you three to have five each." He handed them to them and after explaining how they worked Kurenai and Yugao immediately slapped theirs on their necks under their hair. "I ask you keep this a secret so people do not come banging on my door I just finished this recently and I will get it in stores as fast as possible." They all nodded amazed at such a thing.
"I believe that is it for today and judging by the sun it has been a long day. We should all head home. Be at the training ground tomorrow at 8AM. You all passed." Kurenai said. All of them nodded and the Hokage disengaged the privacy seals. Yugao gave Naruto a kiss on the cheek for the anti-rape seal and headed off home with a spring in her step. Kurenai chuckled at Naruto's stunned face. Shino and Hinata headed off to the clan district while Naruto walked to the ninja district. Naruto led Kurenai to his apartment and they entered. Naruto asked "Would you like something to drink?" Kurenai nodded to his offer and took a seat on the sofa. She liked how his living room was set with a few pictures here and there. Could use a woman's touch but it was homey enough.
Naruto set the drinks down and wondered what it was she wanted to talk about. "So, was that everything from when you saved me to now?" Kurenai asked. "Hai though I might have changed my words around from in front of Hinata." Naruto answered. "O really? How so?" Kurenai teased. "I believe the exact words I used were 'a beautiful woman such as Kurenai does not need to have such hate throw on her.'" Kurenai blushed at his compassion even from such a young age. "You know I wasn't searching to thank you. Not many people would do what you did. Many would have killed the others just to take me for themselves, or would have left me there without risking their own necks." Naruto nodded and responded "What did ji-san tell you I said when I saved you?" Kurenai thought for a moment before it dawned on her, "That rapists were the worst beings aside from child beaters." Naruto nodded again.
Kurenai thought to herself a little bit "he is so young yet he acts so mature what must he have gone through at the villagers hands? he is so compassionate it rolls off him in waves even with the Fox's presence he is not tainted." Naruto spoke up "I act mature for my age yes. I noticed you pondering that let me say that my childhood was one that necessitated me be very careful as such I have read many things and learned as much as I can to survive. Some things I know nothing of compared to others. I only hope what I know is enough to keep me afloat." Kurenai was struck by his words yet again and decided to call it a night before her mind took her to a place she was pretty sure it would lead to eventually anyways. So she bid Naruto good night and stood up to leave. As she was leaving she leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek opposite Yugao. "Thank you my little blonde swordsman." Naruto stood there stunned for a second before replying, "Good night Megami-chan."
Naruto closed his door when Kurenai was out of sight and they both went to bed thinking of each other and what the future might hold.
A/N Ok so I believe I have finished up the long explanations of the timeskips and Now the longest time skip should be no more than a month or so when nothing really happens. Naruto has not shown the full extent of his abilities and probably will not until Orochimaru. Shows up or something else I am considering. Please keep reading! Ja ne!
