Hokage Tower the next Day
Hiruzen Sarutobi is a man of many things he is the Sandaime Hokage, was a student of the Nidaime Hokage, was the youngest Kage to come into office next to the Sandaime Tsuchikage, is one of the last surviving veterans of The First and Second Great Shinobi War, he mastered over a thousand jutsus, earned the nicknames The Professor for his knowledge of jutsus and The God of Shinobi for never being defeated in battle, is the only Kage to come back into office, trained his three students who became The Legendary Three Sannin, married a good woman who died of natural causes, had two sons one who is Asuma Sarutobi who was a member of The Twelve Elite Guardians for the Fire Daimyou and another was Tsuno Sarutobi who died protecting the Fire Daimyou also as a member of The Twelve Elite Guardians, his second son had a child before he died; his grandson Konohamaru, embraced his inner pervert, and most of all he has been known to not fear anything.
That is until today, because a very pissed off Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki was standing in front of him.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi what the hell is this?" Naruto shoved his fathers scroll into the old mans face.
"It's a scroll...that lists the girls you're engaged to." Sarutobi paled.
"Sarutobi I ask of you to null and void the contract."
"I'm sorry but I can't do that, both the signatures of every parent is here. This document is one-hundred percent legal so congratulations." the old Kage sighed in relief hoping his torment was over.
"I'll just pretend I never saw it then, I'll deny it all the way to my grave."
"Naruto don't you want to have a family? Don't you want to get married and have kids?" Sarutobi asked, slightly concerned for his mental health.
"No!"
"Why not?"
"Because I'm a wanted felon! For years I've roamed throughout the Shinobi Nation, and committed so many crimes that I'm guaranteed a spot in the darkest pits of hell!" Naruto practically shouted in the mans face.
"Naruto just because-"
"You don't get it!" the blond interrupted him, "I'm wanted in almost every country! If my enemies catch wind that I have fiancees they will be targeted! Not to mention I'm the Yondaime's son, if Earth Country found that out they will demand my head for the crimes my father and I committed against them. If not they will send assassins. And lets not forget I'm the demon container for Kyuubi The Nine-tailed Fox, now I know I'm not well liked in this village, and if these bastards know about this my fiancees will be hated, scorned, beaten, and lets not forget the possibility of RAPE! You may trust this village to do the right thing, but I sure as hell don't!" he raged at the aged Hokage.
"Naruto the only people who know about your true self, is only you and me." Sarutobi said trying to calm the boy down.
"Hiruzen the next issue if The Bingo Book is coming out during the Chuunin Exams, I don't know the exact date but if the shinobi of this village get it everything will go to hell in a hand-basket."
Sighing at the detailed information Naruto gave him Sarutobi had only one thing to say, "So you're going to die a virgin aren't you?"
Not expecting this Naruto almost face faulted, but he recovered and yelled at the old Hokage. "You perverted old monkey I can not not die a virgin because I'm not one!"
This almost gave Sarutobi a heart attack, "WHAT? BUT-"
"Two times and only that, now can we please get back to what we were talking about?"
Sarutobi mentally cursed himself for getting off topic, so after a minute of thinking he finally remembered what the were talking about, "Naruto if they don't know your identity nobody will find out that you're-"
"They do."
"...Dammit...well we'll think of something when the time comes."
"I can't get out of the marriages can I?" Naruto asked.
"Nope."
"Then will you tell me the status of them?" the blond sighed tiredly, starting to feel a migrane coming.
"Of course, as you already know Hinata is the eldest daughter of Hiashi Hyuuga. Hiroshi Higurashi has a daughter named Tenten, they own the Higurashi Weapons Shop that is only a few blocks from here. Kaze has only one daughter named Temari, and Sousetsu Kazahana died ten years ago from a coup d'etat by his brother and his daughter Koyuki is presumed dead as well." Sarutobi answered him.
"...So I have the Hyuuga heiress, a weapons girl, the daughter of the Yondaime Kazekage, and a dead princess." Naruto sighed again, turned around, and started walking toward the window.
"Naruto where are you going?" Sarutobi asked.
"Even though I really hate this, I'm going to get to know my girls." was all he said before jumping out the window.
Higurashi Weapons Shop Ten Minutes Later
Pushing open the door, Naruto was greeted with a sight that would make any Shinobi worth his salt drool. Weapons of all shapes, sizes and colors adorned the shelves of the store, and not only that, but they looked to be crafted tremendously well. Even at a passing glance, an untrained eye could see that they were made with the greatest of care and precision, he took off his left glove and traced his finger down the blade of a particularly nasty looking katana and it drew blood without even the slightest effort.
"Hello, is there anything I can help you find shinobi-san?" Naruto turned around to face a slightly scared man at the cash register, he looked to be in his late thirties to early forties. He was a muscular man who had short and spiky hair and brown eyes, he wore a black shirt that hugged his body a little but not to tight, a pair of blue jeans and a blacksmith apron.
"Actually yes, I'm looking for Hiroshi Higurashi. I suppose you are him?" Naruto asked him.
He seemed to appraise him for a moment before grinning slightly, "Yep nice to meet you, so what can I do for you?"
"Nothing really, but I am here on business though. You might recognize this." Naruto then handed Hiroshi the scroll.
After reading it Hiroshi put on a serious face, "So you're alive."
"Yes, and I'm looking for your daughter if it's not too much trouble."
"Not at all should be here in a few-" before he could finish his door opened, and four people came in.
The first was a man who looked to be in his late twenties. He had black hair that was in a bowl shape hair style, black eyes, and MASSIVE eyebrows, he wore a green spandex suit, the standard Jounin vest, orange leg warmers, blue shinobi sandals, and wore his Leaf hitai-ate as a belt.
The second was a boy at least a year older than him, but was the carbon copy of what Naruto believed was his Jounin sensei.
The third was also a male. He had brown hair that reached down to his shoulder blades, an white pupil less white eyes showing that he was a Hyuuga. He wore his hitai-ate like a bandanna that covered his forehead, a tan shirt, black shorts with a kunai holster on his right thigh, and blue shinobi sandals. But what Naruto thought was odd was that his entire right hand and leg was wrapped in white medical tape, and it looked like he had a stick shoved his ass. How did he know that you ask? Well lets just say he cause some people absolute torture with just a stick.
The last was a female. She had brown hair tied into two Chinese buns that made her look like a panda with two short bangs that came over her Leaf hitai-ate, and chocolate brown eyes. She was dressed in a sleeveless pink Chinese-style blouse that was trimmed in red around the neck and arms with dark green pants that came to about mid-calf and open-toed blue shinobi sandals. Her kunai holder was strapped to her right thigh while her shuriken pouch was on the back of her left hip. Still analyzing her he noticed her hands had many callouses that showed countless hours of weapons training.
"Hello Hiroshi how have things been going." the Jounin asked.
"I'm doing fine Gai, but you aren't very cheerful are you? Let me guess Kakashi beat you again?" Hiroshi asked.
"Again? Don't tell me he has a rivalry with Kakashi?" Naruto asked.
"YES KAKASHI AND I ARE ETERNAL RIVALS!" Gai shouted.
"So you and my sensei are rivals, I don't believe it."
"YES WE ARE AND SO FAR WE ARE TIED AT FIFTY FIFTY, AND I LOSE THE NEXT CHALLENGE I WILL RUN AROUND THE VILLAGE TWO-HUNDRED TIMES ON MY HANDS! IF I CANNOT DO THAT THEN I WILL RUN TO WIND COUNTRY AND BACK ON ONE DAY WITH A BOULDER ON MY BACK! IF I CANNOT DO THAT I WILL-"
"I'm sorry did you say something?" Naruto asked not knowing the horrors that awaited him.
"NOOOO! CURSE YOU KAKASHI AND YOUR HIPNESS SPREADING ON TO THE NEXT GENERATION!"
Then his mini-me student shouted at almost the same volume. "DO NOT WORRY GAI-SENSEI! YOU WILL DEFEAT HIM ONE DAY!"
This was the catalyst for one of the sights that would be burned into Naruto's mind forever.
Gai turned to his little clone. "OH LEE!" he shouted and ran to his student which made Naruto wonder how the hell they were able to run like they were in a field, when they were in a medium sized store...and they were only four feet from each other.
"GAI-SENSEI!" Lee ran at his teacher.
"LEE!"
"GAI-SENSEI!"
"LEE!"
They met each other in the middle, then their famous "genjutsu" activated. The background turned into a sunset on a cliff with splashing waves.
Naruto put his hand in the tiger hand seal and whispered, "Release!" but nothing happened. "What the hell?"
"Naruto that's not a genjutsu...it's real!" Kyuubi screamed at him, "Stop them now my eyes can't stand it!"
The blond didn't need any encouragement from the demon residing inside him. As teacher and student began hugging each other and crying, then they found their necks wrapped in iron. Hiroshi looked to see that the iron wrappings on Naruto's stomach were gone. "Separate now or you both will find yourself without heads!" Naruto threatened the two and his eyes glowed red for a brief second.
The spandex freaks instantly broke apart and stood on opposite sides of the store, still in tears.
Naruto snorted and retracted his blade, and re-wrapped it around his stomach while everyone stared at him. He had managed to do what no one had ever done before, hell not even The Genjutsu Mistress Kurenai Yuuhi or the Kurama Clan has even been able to do...dispel Gai Maito and Rock Lee's unbreakable genjutsu.
When everyone snapped out of their stupor Tenten let out a fangirl shriek seeing his weapons, "OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD! DAD DID LOOK AT HIM HE'S CARRYING!" she then calmed down a bit and continued in her normal voice. "The Hakujin no Tachi , Renbato , Mugenjin, Kami's dagger, and the Kiku Ichimonji Norimune."
Naruto sighed sadly hearing her talk like that, 'Great I have a sword loving otaku fangirl as a fiancee.'
Tenten then pulled out a book out of nowhere skimming through the pages, Naruto looked at the cover it said Sword Fortune. Which made him sweat-drop remembering about the purple-haired Anbu member during the Wave Country mission.
"Tenten what is going on?" Neji asked, sort of freaked out by his teammates behavior.
"If you read Sword Fortune you would know it says here that these one of a kind blades are worth a fortune. The Hakujin no Tachi is five billion dollars, the Renbato is worth five billion dollars as well, Kami's Dagger is worth ten billion dollars, the Kiku Ichimonji Norimune is sixteen billion dollars, and the Mugenjin IS WORTH TWENTY-FIVE BILLION DOLLARS!" she told them with hearts in her eyes.
If there was one thing everyone was thinking about, it was holy shit! But instead of shouting it they just stared at Naruto like deer caught in the head lights.
"So I have them big deal." was all he said.
"What are you saying? You have the rarest blades on earth how did you acquire them?"
Naruto turned a his head away from them, "I don't want to talk about it." after a moment of silence he looked at Hiroshi, "Please tell her tonight." he he was about to leave when three Chuunin came in.
"Hey Hiroshi I need you to...YOU!" one of them pointed at Naruto.
"He's trying to destoy the store! Die demon brat!" the second one pulled at a kunai and charged at Naruto.
Sighing Naruto ran at him, and punched him in the face, making him fly into a shelf, knocking over the boxes, and just making a big mess. Pulling back he uppercut the second Chuunin making him fly into the ceiling and hang there. He saw the last Chuunin try to flee when he unsheathed Kami's Dagger and threw it into the lower back of the mans spine making him blackout because of the pain, but he didn't fall he just stayed standing.
Sighing again Naruto reached into one of his hakama pockets, took out a wad of cash, and threw it at Hiroshi. "Sorry for the mess." he apologized then walked over to the what was supposed to be the paralyzed Chuunin and pulled out the dagger which made the body fall to the floor, and walked out into the street leaving a stunned Team Gai and a happy Hiroshi.
Namikaze-Uzumaki Mansion A Few Days Later
For the first time in his life Naruto was confused why do you ask? It was very simple really he didn't kill those three Chuunin, and he spent the last three days thinking, why didn't I kill them? They broke the law and they should have been executed. Groaning in frustration he finally decided to ask Zabuza about it.
Wandering around the halls, and going down two flights of stairs. Naruto came across The Demon of the Mist training in the dojo.
"Zabuza I need to talk to you." Naruto called out to him.
"Sure Lord Naruto what is it you need?" Zabuza asked after swinging his massive sword.
"Well first off stop it with that master crap, we are both equals." sitting down in the lotus position Naruto told the older man his problem, "Zabuza you found out about the marriage contract am I correct?"
"Yea I kind of overheard your converstaion with the Hokage." Zabuza admitted the fact he eavesdroped.
"Well three days ago I went to the Higurashi Weapons Shop to visit one of them, but I was attacked by three Chuunin and I fought them. But I didn't kill them, I just knocked the first two out and paralyzed the last one. What I want to know is why didn't I kill them?"
After a minute of silence Zabuza finally answered Naruto's question, "Was she there?" seeing him nod he continued, "Well I don't know too much about the human mind. I usually just stab them there, but I believe you unconsciously didn't kill them because your fiancee was there, maybe you didn't want her to reject you."
Naruto sighed got up and walked away, no doubt to think about what he said.
After he left Zabuza realized something was wrong very wrong. He sensed a feeling of great sadness, if he turned a little bit he would have noticed a feminine figure sneak away from the room.
One Week Later
Naruto was doing something us average citizens usually do on a daily basis, sorting out mail.
"Bills, bills, bills, bills, dammit Meizu not another porn bill!, hate mail, hate mail, hate mail, junk mail, bills, payment from my mission in Wave...hmm what are these two?" Naruto muttered to himself.
He opened the smaller one and started reading it.
Dear Mister Namikaze,
In one months time you are invited to the Hyuuga estates for a formal dinner party, and bring the contract.
Sincerely,
Hiashi Hyuuga
"Sarutobi probably told him about the contract...damn blabbermouth." he sighed not liking the looks of the letter, "Oh well onto the next one."
Naruto opened the last and larger one and about five-hundred thousand grand fell out of it. And then proceeded read the letter that came with it.
Dear Naruto,
In case you didn't already know that's your reward for the bounties of Aoi, Stone Bear, Stone Ox, and Mizuki. Yes Mizuki got a small bounty on his head after we found out he was the one who defected, don't ask me why I just let the Anbu Organization deal with it so I don't have to do anymore damn paperwork! On a serious note during your mission in Wave Country you made Team Seven and Eight experience death first head, and I would like you to assist Team Ten on a C-rank escort mission to a small village called Mikasa that's in River Country. Bandits have been seen on the trail leading to the village, I want you to show the new Ino-Shika-Cho trio what it really means to be a shinobi, and if you can I want you to straighten them out.
'Straighten them out? What the hell does he mean?' Naruto thought to himself before he continued to read, and sweat-dropped reading the first part.
Right about now you're wondering what the hell I'm talking about, you see my son; Asuma Sarutobi, their Jounin instructor is very lazy and doesn't really train his team. Here are the teams problems, Ino is a fangirl and will probably die on a more serious mission I need you to do whatever it takes to rid her of that horrid obsession, and I mean anything don't hold back. Shikamaru has no motivation what-so-ever, and is as lazy as my son, I need you to try and get him motivated even just a little bit. And finally Chouji is more focused on eating instead of training, and as you already know their family techniques rely on them using large amounts of calories but this is just ridiculous! I need you to make him cut back on the snacking and more on training. They begin tomorrow a twelve o' clock sharp.
Now under these circumstances their Jounin would be in charge, but because this team needs A LOT of help I'm making you a temporary Special Genin. And if I see that the team has improved I'll let you keep that title.
Sincerely,
Hiruzen Sarutobi, The Sandaime Hokage
"So the old monkey wants me to straighten the team out? This will be fun...well for me anyways. Hey what's this?"
P.S. I told Kakashi about the mission, and told him to give Team Seven a vacation until you get back so you don't have to worry about team meetings and those crappy D-ranked missions.
P.S.S. Focus some chakra on this seal, I believe you deserve what it contains.
Seeing said seal at the bottom of the paper he focused some chakra onto it, and in a puff of smoke a object fell into Naruto's hand making him gasp is surprise.
The Next Day 11:59
Team Ten and their client were waiting at the village gates waiting for their other squad member, and they must say they were very curious. When they got their mission the Hokage said they were going to have another person accompany them, when they asked who the aged Hokage just smiled and said it was a surprise.
Sick of the silence around them Ino finally broke it, "So who do you think will be our other teammate?"
"I don't know, but the Hokage would not have put him with us if he wasn't strong." Chouji commented while eating a bag of chips.
"I just hope he won't be troublesome." Shikamaru sighed.
"I just might be." a voice said behind them, making them jump ten feet in the air. When they landed they turned around to see...Naruto?
"Naruto what are you doing here!" Ino yelled at him.
"I'm your other teammate." he simply said.
"No way, why would my dad-" Naruto shoved the letter into Asuma's face to prove that he was their temporary teammate for the mission. "Alright team lets move along." he sighed after reading the fine print.
"Hold it." Naruto turned towards the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, and pointed at Ino. "Empty your backpack."
"No! Why would I-"
"Ino just empty it." Asuma ordered her leaving no room for argument.
Sighing Ino took her items out of her backpack, Naruto grunted in frustration seeing she packed only clothes, jewelry, and makeup. He told Chouji to do the same, and sweat-dropped when he saw that he only packed bags of chips. And finally it was Shikamaru, he nearly face-faulted when he saw that he only packed a toothbrush.
Sighing he talked to the group of idiots, "I have one thing to say to you three," he paused making the three lean toward him. "YOU'RE ALL IDIOTS!" he yelled at them making them face-fault.
"I want you three to put that stuff back in your bags, go back to your compounds, pack the proper essentials, and return here in thirty minutes if I'm not satisfied we'll do it over again until we get it right." Naruto told them.
"Why should we do as you say?" Ino asked him.
Naruto quirked an eyebrow. "The Hokage hired me to help you with this mission, why you ask? Simple you all suck! Your teamwork is almost as bad as my teams, you all know only a few jutsu that are pretty much useless, and you're all likely to die on your first serious mission!"
They began to argue with him when he yelled at them again, "This is not a democracy, this is a dictatorship. There is only one opinion that matters, and that is to get you sorry excuse for ninjas ready to face the harsh reality of ninja life! Now hurry up and get back here in thirty minutes!" (guess what movie I got that from)
This made them quickly pack up their things, and run to their compounds.
Thirty minutes later the Ino-Shika-Cho trio returned to their meeting spot and sweat-dropped when they saw their client, sensei, and Naruto smoking and laughing like they were old friends
Well minus Naruto laughing.
However the three were rudely interrupted when Ino started yelling at Naruto. "Naruto you can't smoke!" she yelled at him.
Sighing Naruto finished his cigarette and told the the fangirl the logic that I believe in today, "Ino if you're old enough to kill, you're old enough to smoke, drink, and do other things." (but I don't support people smoking under the age of eighteen, or drinking under the age of twenty-one because that will seriously fuck you up)
"Now shut up and let me see what you three packed." he ordered them.
They grudgingly did what they were told, and Naruto was sort of satisfied with what they packed. In Ino's pack she had four sets of clothes, some food rations, a small book labled "The Waves of Love", and a nail filer. Chouji had three sets of clothes, fifteen military food rations, a pill case, and three bags of chips. And finally Shikamaru had three sets of clothes, a scroll, some binoculars, and his toothbrush.
"It's good enough come on lets going." Naruto sighed, wondering if the Hoakge was going senile in placing these teams.
Four days later
On the way to Mikasa only two things happened to the group, first Naruto decided to put the right sleeve over his arm. Because he was freaking out the client with his slightly scared body.
The second was when Ino, Shikamaru, and Chouji accidentally spotted Naruto bathing in a river on their second night. The next day Naruto noticed that Ino was blushing when ever she looked at him, and that Chouji and Shikamaru were for the better word examining themselves. (yes it is exactly what you might think it is, but it's mainly their muscle mass)
But on the fourth day Naruto decided that they needed a boost in their training, because on the third day he saw their training and almost killed Asuma. Why you ask? Because he saw that he and Shikamaru where playing shougi, Chouji was eating, and Ino was doing whatever the hell girls do.
During one of their breaks Naruto decided to put his plan into action.
"Team Ten front and center!" he called out, and they reluctantly did. "It has come to my attention that your training is...oh what am I saying you have no training!" he paused when they glared at him. "So before we continue to do anything with this mission, I'm going to train you into the ground and won't stop until I'm satisfied."
He then turned to Asuma, "Asuma I want you to show them the elemental affinity training."
"If you know it why don't you show them?" the bearded Jounin retorted.
Naruto took out a blank piece of paper, pumped some chakra in it, and showed Asuma that he could control the five elements. He was lucky the he had his back to the three Genin because they saw Asuma go deathly pale, and in a quiet voice he sworn Asuma to secrecy and told him that that he didn't want his team finding out so he had to do it.
Regaining some of his color Asuma walked to his team and explained the elemental affinity training. "Okay team I want you to channel chakra into the paper so I can find out your elemental alignment. Now before you ask an elemental alignment it's the element that you are intoned to."
"What do you mean sensei?" Chouji asked.
In response Asuma channeled some chakra into the piece of paper Naruto gave him, and it split in half.
"You see I have a wind affinity that means I'm great using Wind Style techniques, however I'm not so good at using other elemental techniques. I can still use them but not as good as my wind affinity. If you're lightning natured the paper crumbles, wind cut it in half, fire burns it, water gets it wet, and earth turns it to dust." he told them and then handed them each a slip of blank paper.
He and Naruto waited for them to focus their chakra into the paper. It unfortunately took a while because Asuma didn't teach them how to focus their chakra properly. But fifteen minutes later they found out their affinities.
Ino's burst into flames, Chouji's turned into dust, and Shikamaru's turned pitch black.
"Well Asuma you got a interesting team," Naruto complimented him for once, "Ino is a fire user probably from he fiery personality," he said, missing the blush on the girls face, "Shikamaru is a darkness user but I expected as much since he is from the Nara Clan. But Chouji I'm surprised that you're an earth user they are rare in Fire Country."
He let them absorb the information for a minute before he talked again, "Now I'm going to teach you Tree Climbing."
"Naruto we already know how to climb a tree." Shikamaru stated the obvious.
"That's right, but there's just one rule. No hands," Naruto said now letting Team Ten know that they'll have try to climb tree with this condition.
"Umm, are you serious Naruto? You're kidding, right?" Ino looking at their temporary sensei.
Without responding he then did the tiger seal and they saw faint bit of dust lift from his feet. He then proceeded to walk towards one of the trees in the surrounding area. What they expected see when he put his foot on the trunk of the tree and try to walk up it was to see him fall straight on his ass, but that was not what they saw and it surprised them. Because there he was, casually walking up the tree with hands in his pockets.
The first to say something was the closet genius, "He's actually climbing the tree."
"Straight up and he's only using his feet to do so." Chouji agreed getting out of his stupor.
When Naruto finished his walking, he was hanging upside down from a branch, "Well you guys get the idea. Focus the chakra to the bottom of you feet and use it to connect to the tree. This is one way to apply the power of chakra."
"Naruto that is cool and all, but how will this help us?" Ino asked.
"First, you'll learn to draw on a precise amount of chakra to a precise point in your body. This is difficult even for an advanced ninja. This type of climbing requires a subtle mix of physical and spiritual energy, and the bottoms of the feet are the most difficult points to focus chakra. Are you guys getting the picture? If you can master this, you'll be able to master any jutsu...well theoretically. The second point is to learn to maintain you chakra levels, when a ninja is focused in battle it's even harder to control and maintain his chakra levels. A deadly mistake, to avoid this maintaining chakra must become second nature, effortlessly." their temporary sensei said finishing up his long lecture.
"Well I can continue this all day but that won't advance your skills will it? You need to apply the power of chakra, through training," Naruto added while taking out three kunai's from in between his fingers and then throws them in front of their feet.
"Use the kunai knives that I just threw to mark the tree at the highest point you can climb, without using your hands. Then try to get past that mark the next time, and the next. At first you'll to run at the tree and use your momentum to get as high as possible, until you get used to it. Ready?" Naruto instructed on how to do this exercise for the almost hopeless Team Ten.
"Well, if were doing this now, then that means we're ready, so let's do it." Shikamaru said in a bored voice, while in the meantime taking out the kunai that had struck the ground.
"Yea, I know we can do it!" Chouji getting just as enthused as his best friend while also picking up the kunai from the ground.
Ino cheered saying she'll do great and win Sasuke-kun's love as she quickly got the kunai free from the ground.
All three of them did as instructed and molded their chakra to the bottom of their feet, having dust faintly kick off the ground signifying that the chakra was emitting from their feet. When they all felt they had enough they ran towards their trees at the signal Ino shouted, "LETS GO!"
They all ran as fast as they could to get as high as they could on the tree they were running towards...only to fall on straight on their asses.
Naruto palmed his face, muttering to himself, "What have I gotten myself into?"
And for two weeks Naruto's hellish training affected the team greatly. Chouji spent more time training instead of eating, Shikamaru also spent more time conditioning his body instead of his mind, and because he used shadow clones he personally trained Ino himself. And because of this she spent little to no time on her looks or Sasuke fantasizing. And most of all they almost mastered the tree climbing exercise.
After they had better control of their chakra Naruto started teaching them their affinity jutsu. However Naruto is still teaching Ino Fire Style: Flame Bombs, but he taught Chouji Earth Style: Mud Wall Jutsu. He wished he could teach Shikamaru something but he didn't have the darkness affinity, so he just showed him some usefull bodybuilding exercises.
Their client started complaining that they were deliberately wasting his mission money, because he paid for a simple C-ranked mission that would last only a few days. He stopped when Naruto told him that he already sent a messenger pigeon to the Hokage, informing him that the mission might take longer than needed and to take away his payment for the mission.
Now Team Ten has finally started moving again, and after several hours of walking they arrived at a dock was to take them to Mikasa. After they paid their ferryman he smiled and gestured to the boat, and that's when he saw Naruto. A tingle went up his spine, the guy just made him feel nervous. He tried to remain calm as he told the Naruto that the boat could only hold so many people, when Naruto just stepped down onto the surface of the water.
"I do not need to ride in the boat." he stated to them.
Then Team Ten, their client, and the ferryman's eyes bugged out, how was he walking on the water? Asuma just ignored it, sat down, and continued to smoke his death sticks.
"Are we leaving now?" he asked the ferryman.
Snapping back to reality, the ferryman pushed the boat of the dock. As soon as they began to leave, Naruto began to walk along side them, not even looking at them.
After about fifteen minutes, Team Ten, their client, and the ferryman were expecting Naruto to get tired and stop, but he showed no signs of fatigue, even his breathing was regular. Asuma was starting to understand why his father sent him, that was when the first patches of fog came into sight. Naruto stopped and looked over to the left. Suddenly he sped off to the side.
Wondering why Naruto left Team Ten let out sigh of frustration, the entire time Naruto was with them they barely knew anything about him. Either he was being their sadistic drill sergeant or was training by himself where they couldn't find him; which was usually at night. Asuma was thinking what would drive Naruto to leave them so suddenly, was there an enemy ahead? Shrugging, he resumed smoking his cancer sticks.
However unlike their lazy sensei the Ino-Shika-Cho trio didn't drop their guard. They scanned the area outside of the boat, but found no sign of their teammate.
They searched until they caught sight of something coming straight at them, it was a ship. During their mission briefing the Hokage said that they might face some bandits. Ino tensed and grabbed her sensei's sleeve and pointed towards the incoming vessel, Asuma stopped smoking and brought out one of his trench knives in case he had to engage in combat. As the ship got closer and closer, all they could see was a black silhouette. Soon, it crossed their path and Team Ten got a good look at a blood splattered vessel, complete with bodies hanging over the side. It was at least sixty feet long, and had several decks. It was leaving behind a trail of blood, causing several sharks to follow the ship.
All of them were shocked, until they saw Naruto, then they were scared. He was holding his wakizashi, and though it was the body of a bandit. As he slid his wakizashi out, he turned his head to look at them. All the Genin immediately retched over the side. Asuma only sighed and put his trench knife away.
"I would appreciate it if you stopped scaring my students for life."
Naruto only casually leaped off the ship and landed on the water with a small splash. Then he made the tiger hand seal, and several explosions went off in the ship. Team Ten watched the ship sink before their very eyes. After several minutes, the boat had completely sank into the depths of the surprisingly wide and deep river.
"The Hokage hired me so that your students wouldn't freeze up when somebody dies in front of them. And he said to do whatever is necessary so they won't die during a high level mission, so shut it." the blond said to the chain-smoking Jounin.
After that there were no other threats during the rest of the boat ride to Mikasa Village, nor was there anything life threatening on the four hour walk to the village.
One Day Later
"Fire Style: Flame Bombs!" an explosion of fire erupted from Ino's mouth, turning into a large fireball not unlike a miniature sun before hurtling itself towards the single tree off in the distance. In a brilliant flash of blinding light, the fireball exploded on contact, burning the tree and scorching the ground a seared black. Taking her hand away from her mouth, Ino turned to face her temporary teacher.
"So Naruto how was that?" Ino patiently waited for his answer, but was actually happy on the inside. She was sure her temporarily sensei was going to be happy, after all, that fireball was pretty big.
"Not bad, not bad at all." Naruto complimented after a moment of silence, "You still haven't mastered it, but that's good for just three weeks of training."
Naruto then turned his head towards Chouji who was going through some hand seals. "Earth Style: Mud Wall Jutsu!" Chouji called out, and threw up a huge pile of mud that quickly hardened into a ten foot wall, it wasn't too thick to hold off a jutsu, but it was enough to protect him from a weapon barrage if that ever happened to him.
Then he saw Shikamaru punching a tree tearing it up on for each time his fists hit it.
"Team Ten front and center!" he called out, and they did a second later.
"I just wanted to say...well I don't say this much but I'm..." Naruto struggled to say the right word, "p-proud of you three."
Before they could say anything Asuma appeared in front of them scaring the three Genin. "We're heading out." was all he said.
It would be hours before they talked to each other again until they came close to a clearing. There was at least thirty to fifty tents, however there were only a few thuggish looking men out and about.
"From what I could gather there used to be about three-hundred bandits total, but Naruto took care of the majority when we were on the river. So there are about sixty to seventy bandits now. We strike tonight." Asuma told his team, but Naruto dragged him away from them until they were out of hearing range.
"You mean I strike tonight." Naruto corrected him.
"You? Naruto I don't think-"
"Damn right you don't. Listen you might have confidence in your team, and I respect that, but they aren't ready yet." the blond retorted to the son of the Sandaime.
"Aren't ready? Naruto they need to kill eventually, and tonight is the perfect time." Asuma rebutted
"I agree they need to kill, and they will, I'll see to that. But you need to trust me alright?"
"Fine have it your way, but you better have a damn good plan!" the bearded Jounin whispered as loudly but quietly as he could.
"Don't worry about it everything will be perfect." Naruto reassured the chain-smoking Jounin.
After waiting for countless hours night finally fell upon the team, and Naruto was ready to do some damage. "Alright I'm going in now you three to promise me, no matter what you hear or see you won't come into the camp until I say so." he saw their unsure looks so he had to raise his voice a bit, "Promise me!"
"We promise." they said in a union.
Without a word he disappeared in the darkness. Fifteen minutes later they saw an explosion, and then came the screams began. For an entire hour the Genin saw the explosions, heard the screams, occasionally having a body part fall on them, and saw flashes of Naruto literally destroying everything in his path. After hearing the final scream and hearing Naruto call out "It's all clear!" Team Ten went into what was left of the camp. The sight wasn't pretty there were huge craters in various parts in the camp, bodies that were relatively intact, mutilated bodies, body parts, blood splatters, ruined tents, various fires, and an unscathed Naruto standing in the middle of the destruction.
"Naruto what the hell did you do?" Shikamaru gasped seeing the devastation.
"Do you really want to know?" he countered a question of his own making them shake his head.
"Now follow me." he told them which they hesitantly did seeing the destruction around them. After a minute of walking they came across four men all tied to post and each one had bandages tied around their mouths to hinder their pleds and cries for help. Naruto however had a very serious look on his face.
"Now it's time to pop your cherries." he said earning himself a two confused and one hated glare. "What I mean by that is, it is time to earn your title as a shinobi."
"How are we going to do that?" asked a really confused Chouji.
"It is really simple take one of your kunai and kill one them." he said to them ignoring the pleading from the prisoners.
"So that's what you meant by popping our cherries, we kill and we won't be umm...killing virgins?" Shikamaru asked trying to get his facts straight.
"Close enough." Naruto sighed, at least they were getting it.
"But Naruto I don't think I can take a life." Ino hesitantly protested.
"One you do it it is as simple as breathing, here let me demonstrate." the blond said as he took a knifw from a dead bandit, calmly walked over to the one on the far right, and stabbed him in the face.
"Now who will go first?" seeing no one volunteering, he did one of things men use to decide who should go first if they're being stupid or a coward. "Fine I'm thinking of a number from one to twenty, whoever is the closest goes first."
"Troublesome blond fine I choose five." Shikamaru sighed.
"Sixteen." Ino gulped.
"Eleven." Chouji said.
"Shikamaru you're first." Naruto told the lazy Nara.
Shikamaru sighed, muttered troublesome, and pulled out a kunai. He stepped forward to the man on the left, but he didn't do anything.
"The sooner you do it, the sooner we can get out of here." Naruto tried to motivate him, it must of worked because he stabbed the man between the eyes.
"And then there was two." Asuma commented before putting a cigarette up to his lips.
"Now who's next? No one? Fine I'll do it the hard way." Naruto sighed as he took out a quarter; the thing all men use if they stuck between two choices. "Chouji is tails, and Ino is heads." he then flipped it and it landed on tails, but Chouji was hesitant so Naruto decided to use a little motivation.
"Chouji if you kill this guy I'll treat you to an all you can eat at your favorite restaurant."
That got him going, because he ran up to the dude on the right, stabbed him in the eye, and immediately threw up on the corpse after his mind just registered what he just did. After retching for a minute he finally went over to Naruto, and the others.
"Boys welcome to manhood." Naruto patted both of them on the shoulders. "Now it's your turn." he said to Ino.
They waited patiently for nearly another minute until Naruto decided to motivate her, "Ino, think about it what has this man done in life? How many innocent people has he killed? How many women has he raped? How many lives has he ruined? If you don't end this scumbags life he'll just do it again and again."
He saw a brief fire light up in her eyes, and without thinking she threw it and it went through the guys neck decapitating him. However after she did the deed she broke down crying, but thankfully it only lasted like twenty seconds and they went back to the village.
Right after Naruto made some clones to clean up the mess of course.
Later That Night, Hotel, Naruto's Room
The sound of knocking awoke Naruto from his slumber. Yawning he rose up from his bed only clad in some gray sweat pants and a black wife-beater shirt. He walked over to the door and swung open, only to come face to face with turquoise eyes twinkling in the dim light of the hallway staring back into his own surprised sapphire orbs.
"Ino?"
It was indeed Ino, she was dressed in what looked like a silk nightgown, a light blue color that beautifully matched her eyes. The gown itself went to the middle of her thighs, and was split on the sides allowing her to show off her beautiful legs. It stuck to her almost like a second skin showing off her curves. And her hair that was usually in a ponytail was now free and went to her hips all in all it was a pretty exotic sight.
"I was wondering if I could talk with you?" she asked quietly.
Blinking owlishly at the sudden and strange request from Ino of all people, Naruto took a moment for his thoughts to sort themselves out wondering what the hell is going on here. "Sure...come on in." he quickly stepped away from the entrance and let her inside before closing the door, locking it in the process with a soft 'click'.
They reached his room where they sat down on his bed, there was an awkward silence until Naruto broke it. "I'm guessing this is about your first kill?"
"Yes, how can you and the other shinobi do it? H-How can you live with yourself taking a life and feel nothing?" Ino asked calmly, but her voice told him she was close to crying.
"I can't speak for the others, but for me I'm just used to death. I've been around it for so long I pretty much became immune to it. However not everyone can handle the stress in doing this type of work." Naruto truthfully answered.
"What do you mean by that?" she asked.
"Take Asuma and Kakashi for example they do stuff to relieve their stress. Asuma smokes because of his dutie, or it runs in the family, but Kakashi, he reads porn to relieve himself after losing both his teammates in The Third Great Shinobi War, doing what ever he did when he was in the Anbu, and losing his sensei the Yondaime from the Kyuubi attack. They just use those items to dull the pain but it doesn't make it go away. They're just too stubborn to cry once and awhile." Naruto sighed at the corny speech.
Without warning Ino wrapped her arms around him, and his shirt started to feel wet. 'Oh crap! Oh crap! Oh crap! She's crying, damn me and that stupid speech. Ok calm down what did Yumi-nee-chan do when this happened to me after my first kill? Think dammit think! Think! Think! Oh yea now I remember.' acting on instinct wrapped his arms around the blond-haired girl's shoulders and muttering soothing words as her small body shook with silent sobs.
"Shhhhhh it's okay Ino, let it all out, I'm right here." a few minutes passed before the kunouchi's sobbing died down to little sniffles, Naruto rubbing her back gently. However doing this rarely kind action Ino fell asleep in his arms.
After realizing she fell asleep Naruto tried to pry her off, but her famine-like grip wouldn't allow it, "Aww dammit this is the last time I'm going to be nice to someone." the blond sighed as he picked her up, settled themselves is the bed, pulled the covers over themselves, and he fell asleep with her in his arms.
Armageddon: Hello fans sorry for the huge delay I had a massive case of writers block, computer crashed so I had to use the libraries computers, and went to a camp for awhile. My next update will be sooner than later.
As for Sarutobi's his second son...well how the hell do you explain why Konohamaru is alive because it certainly wasn't Asuma.
