Chapter Five
"And that's what happened," Kakashi finished his explanation. The Genin were dismissed, and Naruto had run off carrying his weapon, after of course he reclaimed the broken blade he sealed away to seal Zubuza's weapon.
Sarutobi had listened to the whole tale, finding that Naruto's change the most was... unsettling. Of course, unsettling because the boy seemed to be changing a lot more now that Naruto no longer held the Kyuubi within him, not after it was ripped right from his body from the unknown man.
"Well, Naruto's new clothing wardrobe... I find it acceptable, since from what I had heard, orange was all those damn shop keepers would sell to the boy, or just outright throw at him."
Kakashi nodded a bit, having heard that one of a few other shop keepers would give the orange clothes to Naruto just in the chances of him getting killed. Orange was a bright color after all, and a large very noticeable target if in enemy territory.
"So tell me, what about this broken sword blade Naruto found in this... hidden grove outside of the village?"
"It's weird, it's as if Naruto was following some sort of invisible voice, and then we watched him stand in front of this pedestal, and despite drawing blood, yanked out a broken blade piece. He seemed to have found its other part, which was carried by a young boy Naruto befriended in the end of the mission named Inari."
They still never knew of Naruto's new tenant. When Sarutobi asks to describe the blade's broken status, he was surprised that its style was a double-edge blade. The only double-edge he knew of was the weapon that Orochimaru wielded.
"So, Naruto has a sword of one of the legendary Kiri-nins, and this broken sword. Hm, well, there is only one person in the village that I know could fix a broken sword such as the one you described." Sarutobi however had enough thought that didn't need to be shared.

"Old man! I need your help!"
Tankou walked out the back, only to have two broken pieces of a sword handed to him.
"Can you repair this blade... you see, this is a very important blade, and I do not want any damage done to it while being repaired, please? I'll pay you for your work."
Tankou placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder, setting the two items down. "It's okay Naruto... for a reason I am inclined to believe you, though, you do look better wearing your new outfit... a tunic?"
"Yeah... well, I thought it was time to not wear the orange, though I do like the color... besides, do these clothes make me look like a hero?"
Midna grinned within Naruto's mind.
"Of course, Naruto," he replies, smiling a bit, "oh yes, I also finished your first project you asked of me to do for you. I sent Tenten to your place, since I had asked the Hokage for your address, but you were apparently on a mission."
"Yeah, we actually got back today. It took us three days to get back, not after I had acquired a rare weapon."
Tankou headed to the back, before he reemerged up front by the cash register. Midna formed beside him, but as a shadow. She was amazed at how closely it resembled the Fused Shadow piece she wore when she escaped the Twilight after Zant forcibly taken control of the throne centuries ago. Of course, it appeared to have a more modern appearance.
"Yes, I used the lightweight metal, and melted it into a more malleable form, so I can craft it to the design dimensions you wanted it as." Yes, Midna was impressed. "The eye piece I crafted it with the one-sided glass mostly used with the Oinin masks. I also styled the impression after our very own Konoha symbol." He hands it to Naruto, who smiled.
(Naruto obtains Midna's Headgear. This is a modernized replica of the Fused Shadow helmet Midna worn centuries ago during Zant's tyranny.)
"Oh yeah, I built a hidden feature with the horns. You can take them apart from the main headgear, and connect it into a boomerang, which you can throw at your enemies, or use it as a whacking device against thugs if your friend is not a shinobi or kunoichi."
Naruto nodded. He took out his new wallet, but Tankou held his hand up.
"No Naruto, this time there's no payment. Besides, I have a feeling this is for a personal friend... a female friend."
The old man held a slight perverted grin, and Naruto blushed, hearing Midna's giggles within his head. He took it anyway, and headed out of the shop, Tankou's laughs heard. He stopped of course and wondered what kind of girl Naruto landed around his arms. Looking at the broken sword, he could tell that this has a great importance to it, so he worked on crafting the weapon back to its originality. It can't be that hard in repairing a broken double-edged blade like this... he also would have to construct a sheath for the sword as well.
=0=0=
You need to work on wielding a heavy weapon, Naruto, Midna tells the blonde, taking notice on several people took a double look at Naruto's tunic outfit.
I know, but where?
Suddenly he's tackled to the ground. It was Konohamaru. Konohamaru was the grandson of the Sandaime who Naruto met once the Genin Teams had finally been allowed to form after Naruto's recovery from his little incident with the masked man, who Midna now swears is another Shadow Lord Zant... whoever that Zant person is. Despite Midna bashing him over the head once he returned to his apartment later that day, Naruto taught Konohamaru his original jutsu of Oroke... let's just say, Ebisu was knocked out with a heavy blood loss after the two transformed girls seductively held one another by Naruto's lead. It was from that moment on Konohamaru became Naruto's friend, and by off chance, friends with his two friends Moegi and Udon. Together, the three were the Konohamaru Corp.
"Hey boss! I like your new threads! But why are you wearing a skirt?"
Naruto got up, gently pushing Konohamaru off him. "It's a tunic. I bought this in Nami during my first mission outside the village."
"How much did it cost?" Moegi asks Naruto.
"Three thousand ryo. The shop keeper was poor, so I paid five thousand just for the guy to provide for his family."
The three were in awe.
"Wow that was so generous of you."
Naruto smiled foxily. Still his old trait...
"Growing up as an orphan, I always saved up on my money. So, what are you three up to?"
"THERE YOU ARE!"
Naruto knew that angry voice and he now stared at Konohamaru, who looked a bit pale.
"You did not..."
"I did."
Sakura can now be seen running to them. Konohamaru had insulted that she could never be a real ninja if she always just worried about how she looked. Of course, he also insulted that because of her giant forehead she was stupider than female blondes.
"RUN!"
The four were now being chased by a pissed off fangirl.
"I TOLD YOU TO NEVER INSULT FANGIRLS!"
The three kids were beating him in the foot race, and Naruto, by proxy, was seen in the fangirls' rage as part of the group, henceforth him running for his life as well. Around the corner, Konohamaru runs smack into a teenager. The ninja wore a black jumpsuit and had on purple face paint, and wrapped in bandages was some sort of bulky object. And behind the male teenager was a kunoichi with her blonde hair in four pigtails and a large fan strapped to her back, currently folded.
"Hey you punk!"
Konohamaru yelped a she was lifted off the ground.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing? Let me go!"
Before the teenager could make a reply, or the blonde next to him say anything, a poof of smoke, and Naruto was now holding the Hitsu Karatakewari no Tsurugi, though he had it stabbed into the ground.
"Let him go, or else you wish to incite war for harming the grandson of the Sandaime Hokage of Konohagakure."
Konohamaru was dropped onto his rear, and he rushed to hide behind Naruto and his impressive sword. The blonde next to the man in black swats the teen upside the head.
"Kankuro, you jackass! You almost started a war with your pigheaded brawn!"
"I'm not pigheaded, Temari!" the teenager now identified as Kankuro yelled.
"No, you look like Catman," Naruto snickered.
Kankuro hissed. "Shut up you!"
"Kankuro! Knock it off. I'm sorry for my brother's rash idiotic actions. I'm Sabaku no Temari from Suna."
"Ah, Uzumaki Naruto."
"Say... is that really the Kubikiri Hocho of Momochi Zubuza?" she asked, her voice lit with surprise.
Naruto nodded. "He died, and he allowed me to take it." Kankuro raised an eyebrow. Even he had to be impressed. No one can just claim one of the swords of the legendary Kiri Swordsman, unless you were a thief. Because Naruto was honorable enough to take the sword in Zubuza's place, Naruto had unofficially become a Kiri Swordsman.
"So, by the look of your hitai-ate-"
"What are you doing here?" Sakura finally found her voice. Oh, the foursome had forgotten about the no-longer angry fangirl, "even is Konoha and Suna are allies, you can't be here unless you're on a mission or have papers allowing entry."
Temari was put off by this girl's attitude. She figured this girl was a fangirl. Looking at Naruto, and seeing how his face was scrunched up in a way that showed he too did not like fangirls... she felt sorry for him.
"Well, if your hot friend here was going to ask what I think he was going to ask," Sakura stared, thinking that Naruto couldn't be hot, even if he was no longer wearing orange. Kankuro stared at Naruto, growling a bit, and Naruto gained a bit of a blush around the cheeks, "Yes we are from Sunagakure, and we're here for the Chunnin Exams."
"Oh, really... we were not informed by our sensei yet," Naruto said.
Temari frowned. "That's too bad. I hope you will be there, Naruto-kun," she now says with a sweet smile, causing the Konohamaru Corp. to snicker. They heard someone fall out of a tree. It was Uchiha Sasuke. Konohamaru started laughing, but calmed when another person dropped down from the same tree, which was the cause for Sasuke's sudden fall from the tree.
"And you are?"
The redhead looked at Naruto. He had a giant gourd strapped to his back, and he had the kanji for love tattooed on his forehead.
"I am Sabaku no Gaara... if you are entered into the Chunnin Exams, I look forward to our next encounter." Temari and Kankuro paled a bit. If Gaara was now interested in Naruto, he would soon end up dead, whether or not he enters the Chunnin Exams.
Sasuke, despite his slight mishap, and utter embarrassment of not even noticing a foreign ninja behind him until it was too late, shot to his feet. "Who are you three?" They ignore him as they disappeared. Sasuke growled, and walked off, causing Sakura to follow him as usual, leaving behind the three Academy kids and one young teenager.
Well... you seem to have made yet another friend, Midna said.
Did Naruto imagine it, or did Midna just held a hint of jealousy in her voice?
=0=0=
He was minding his own business, two days from the encounter with the Sabaku siblings that he was tackled from behind. The one who pinned him was Tenten. "Looking good Naruto... so much better than all that tacky orange you wore previously." Naruto blushed, realizing that she was trying to get a feel of his chest. Midna kept on staring, having appeared as a shadow.
"So, what is this about a rumor of you holding the Kubikiri Hocho?"
If there was one thing about Tenten, Naruto definitely knew she had a slight fetish for all things sharp and pointy.
"Well, it's in the scroll I keep attached to my left hip."
Tenten saw said object, and took it off, unsealing it. When the smoke cleared, there was the fabled sword. Tenten seemed to drool, as she stared at the weapon, feeling the cool metal.
"Oh my... it's the real thing."
"Uh, you're drooling?" She didn't hear him.
She is probably getting an orgasm from all the excitement.
Naruto got a bit of a nosebleed, and his cheeks flared a light pinkish red. Tenten was too busy fawning over the giant zanbato to notice Naruto. Midna grinned, snickering at Naruto and his claims of not being a pervert, though right now he was displaying perverted tendencies.
"Excuse me Tenten, but uh..."
"Oh, sorry," she said, blushing.
"It's alright, but... you think you can help me so I can wield this weapon more effectively?"
Tenten blinked, and then she smiled. "Of course, Naruto-kun."
Because of the height, Naruto couldn't wear it on his back, however she did teach him how to use chakra to act as a magnet for the weapon, so it would stick to his back, but just sideways instead of a slant-over-the-shoulder. When asked she grinned and said to get used to the weight. It acted as the perfect weight counter, so Naruto's movements were very sluggish. In the one week of this, he had gotten stronger, and Midna watched the progress over the week. Link wasn't strong enough at first when he obtained the Ball and Chain weapon from the Dark Hammer that attacked them at the Snowpeak Ruins, but as he gotten used to the heavy weapon his strength improved that he could to an effect swing the weapon and launch it. It helped when Yeta was possessed by one of the Twilight Mirror shards, and they had to knock her out to dissolve the mirror's possessive hold on the poor girl. Of course over the week, Naruto had reclaimed the Master Sword, only for it to be taken by this Priestess who had appeared in the village two weeks ago, resting before she would continue on her wandering journey. Today was when he would reclaim the sword back from the eighteen year old priestess who went by the name Kururi.
=0=0=
Midna had a strange feeling about this Kururi girl. There also was the fact that the girls' ears were at a bit of a point, but what was passed off as some sort of harmless birth defect, she had a reason to believe that she was some sort of solid spirit that remained clung to the planet. She couldn't prove her theory, so she had stayed silent. The sword was repaired, but it looked like any other sword; it had no power in it, non of its mystifying energies that had also been infused within the blade itself. When Naruto arrived to the secluded grove, which was also recognized as his own hidden area from the village in the past, there was a block of stone where the sword was stabbed into it. Around it was a shrine of runes painted into the ground with black ink paint. There were also several round stones at the four directional points, and smaller stones at the diagonal directional points.
The young lady, Kururi, wore pink and white clothing, depicting her as a priestess. Her dark pink hair was done in twin ponytails that cascade down her sides, the rest of her hair let down in silky curtains. Her eyes were a beautiful cerulean, with a sweet smile. The vest was pink, and the undershirt was the white robes, which from below was cut and sewn into a stylized skirt overlapped with pink fishnet fabric. The sleeves of the outfit reached to her elbows, which had attached crimson ribbon tassels. On her arms past the elbows, she wore pink arm warmers, and pink socks and leg warmers on her legs, said socks went to her thighs. All in all, she was a beautiful young lady.
"Ah, there you are Naruto."
"So, uh, what is all of this?"
"When you told me that you had found this weapon four days ago, I spent all this time preparing the ritual site." He blinked twice, "you see, not only am I a priestess, but I also have the power to enchant weapons, so to speak. This weapon of yours, I have very brief detailings of it. This is supposed to be a legendary weapon of unknown origins. I don't know how you obtained it, but the fact of the matter is that you are destined to wield the sword."
Naruto nodded a bit. As Midna suggested, he switched out his black clothing under the tunic for white. Of course, they were specifically made clothes for a bit of armor protection. He also got some better gloves, and leather items such as boots, arm guards, leg guards. He also ha the sheath fo the sword strapped to his back with a snap belt. On his belt around the waist, the left hip was a scroll which held the Heavy Blade. On the right hip was his kunai pack, next to it going back was the Senbon pack, and next to that was a pack filled with specially made Ninja Bombs, a new creation that Tankou created as an off project. Many people still use Explosive Tags, but the creation of civilian bombs made for ninja affairs still hasn't caught on yet. He called then Nin-ombs.
The sun had set when the ritual had ended, allowing Naruto to finally draw the blade again. This time, he could feel the thrum of power coursing through it. When he and Midna turned to face Kururi, she had vanished...
(Naruto obtains the Master Sword. This is a sword of legendary feat, wielded by the ancestors who faced off against evil. Its power was somehow restored by the mystical powers of Kururi the Priestess...)
=0=0=
Naruto ignored the looks he got from those he passed. His two team mates Sasuke and Sakura were also very intrigued at the difference in Naruto. Before they had learned of Naruto's cursed fate he was annoying, a prankster (which has lessened somewhat, but he still does them form time to time with the Sandaime's grandson) and had always tried asking Sakura out on dates, but now... after that attack, Naruto had changed, and seemed to be getting stronger much to Sasuke's annoyance. Even if Naruto no longer held the Kyuubi no Youko within him (since he is a former Jinchuuriki), Naruto's increasing strengths made Sasuke fight to become better than the new and improved Naruto. Not to mention try and claim that weird sword the blonde now carries on his back like some sort of wannabe hero. As they entered the Academy on the day of the Chunnin Exams, already there was commotion when they reached the top of the stairs.
I may not be a ninja but I had gotten enough to notice differences in the environment, Midna said.
Eh?
Just walk past them because there's some sort of illusion set-up here.
"Hey, drop the Genjutsu," said Sasuke with his arrogant voice. Naruto and Midna scowled. Because of the Uchiha, those who would have failed the exams have gotten free reign into the exams.
Idiot boy, Midna growled.
"What makes you say we're up to something?"
"Because Sakura detected your Genjutsu the moment we entered, right?"
Sakura looked confused but quickly schooled her features into a believable lie. "That's right, it's pathetic."
The sign shifted to the second floor room, which was also the Academy's Gym Arena.
Now she's just plain lying, Naruto muttered.
Well, you're probably the only one with the power in this group, Midna told Naruto, though...
Yes, I know Midna-chan. That Kururi person... she knew what the sword was, stole it from us, and then promised to give it back, and she did after she had infused power back into the weapon.
Midna nodded, as she and Naruto ignored the events that occurred. Something just bugs me about that Kururi girl... if we ever see her again, we should be more cautious, Naruto-kun.
Naruto gave a mental nod, before he was grasped around the left arm by Tenten.
"Hey Naruto-kun."
Now Naruto heard Midna scowl at Tenten.
"Uh, hi Tenten-chan."
"So... you going or not? Your two team mates entered the gym."
"Uh, no... Why?"
"Sasuke challenged my team mate Lee to a Taijutsu match."
"Oh, Lee-kun?" Naruto blinked twice, "now I know Lee will win... we should just wait for them upstairs, hm?"
Tenten smiled. "That sounds good." The two then headed off to the right location, with the prick Neji following behind the two.
Now, Sasuke got his ass handed to him in a minute, and then the two were scarred for life by the Sunset Genjutsu that appeared when the two carbon copies had performed their manly hug after the end of the match (and Gai punishing Lee for attempting to us his special move), loudly calling out one another's names... horrifying.
=0=0=
There were various other Genin in the room when Teams Seven and Nine had entered. Team Ten was there, as Naruto had gone over to Hinata and bid her a greeting. Hinata got a glare sent to him by Neji, but Naruto never noticed as he was talking to the incarnation of Zelda.
"Man Naruto," Kiba spoke up, "you look a bit better without all that damn orange on you."
Naruto smirked. "I also managed to get myself several more pairs of my tunic stored away. I'm getting used to the outfit..." He also unstrapped the sword and now held it in his hand, noticing a few looks he got from various other foreign Genin and Tenten of course due to her love for swords.
"Naruto-kun!" Hinata was shoved aside, as the Suna ninja, Temari, clung herself to Naruto's arm, surprising the rest of the Rookie Nine and Team Nine (Team Gai). Hinata and Tenten both glared with heat towards the Suna-nin.
"Uh, hey Temari-chan," he said hesitantly. He noticed the dark glare from Kankuro. Gaara couldn't care les, though he was interested in fighting Naruto.
"So, you finally made it huh? I bet it's just because of you, and your two team mates are just following you?"
"Uh..."
Now Sasuke growled, and Sakura glared, as she did not like being called weak. She may not like Naruto much, but the boy was changing her views. However some things will remain the same, such as her fangirlism for Sasuke.
"Keep it down, will you?" All turned to see a silver-haired Genin with glasses walk in with two other guys.
"And you are?"
"Yakushi Kabuto. I can see that for most for you Leaf-nins, it's your first time... as you can tell, this is the Chunnin Exams, and Genin Teams from various villages all around the Elemental Countries have arrived, since our village has been chosen to host it."
"I'll talk to you later Naruto-kun," Temari whispered into Naruto's ear, causing him to break into a blush when she kissed his cheek, and sat back down next to a scowling and protective Kankuro. He quickly picked up the sword that slipped from his hand, and help the weapon close.
Tenten, Hinata, and by proxy, Midna, were now angry that this girl made a move on Naruto. Kiba was snickering at the surprised red-faced Naruto, as Shikamaru sighed, muttering his trademarked catchphrase. And Shino took a step away from Hinata since his bugs detected small flows of Killing Intent filtering from the sometimes shy Hyuuga Heiress.
Kabuto chuckled softly.
"Well, that was amusing."
Naruto glared, trying to rid the blush away. Temari smirked from her seat.
"Uh, is this your first time as well?" Sakura questioned the glasses-wearing Genin.
"Nope, seventh."
"That must suck."
"Well, this exam IS hard. I have no doubt that not many of you first timers would make it as well. This is a very studious exam you're in, and there's no room for weak hearted ninja. Anyway, in my time being in the exams, I have gathered enough data which I write down in what I call Ninfo Cards." No one laughed at his poor attempt of a joke, "Anyway, as you may have noticed, Genin are from every single village known. They are the crème ala crème. The best of their village."
"Okay, so, how does your Ninfo Cards work?" Naruto asks, handing his sword to Tenten to hold.
"Well, I have placed what little seal work I know into these cards so that only my chakra can reveal the information I have written on them." A bit of chakra flare and he shows a mini map of the Elemental Countries. He puts that away, and holds the rest of his deck.
"So, you have information on just about anybody?" Sasuke asks.
"Yes, I do."
"Rock Lee, Sabaku no Gaara, and Uzumaki Naruto."
"Oh... joy, you know their names..." He takes out the three cards and flares his chakra, revealing the printed information, "Rock Lee... his accomplishments so far are 24 D-rank missions, 14 C-rank, and one A-Rank. His Taijutsu has improved this year, and he has gained attention as a talented Genin but didn't partake in the exam last year so this will be his first time just like all of you. However, compared to last year his Taijutsu skills are almost off the charts, while his Genjutsu and his Ninjutsu are below average. His team mates are Hyuuga Neji, and Higurashi Tenten."
Sasuke glared at the energetic Lee, still embarrassed that his Sharingan had a weakness which the boy with fuzzy eyebrows pointed out while literally kickin his ass in a minute.
"Sabaku no Gaara is from Suna, so I know not much. He however has accomplished all of his missions with no injuries whatsoever. All I know of his team mates are that they are his brother and sister. And Uzumaki Naruto... he is a Genin and this is his first time in the exams as well. His Taijutsu are at best average, as is his Ninjutsu with his clever ways. His Genjutsu s non existent yet he can detect them easily if he focuses."
Naruto had to agree with that...
"Hm, Naruto was what many call a Jinchuuriki."
Everyone's heads had all turned towards the blonde Genin.
"However, on the day of the Team Placements Naruto was attacked by an unknown enemy, who had made quick work of him, up to nearly killing him before forcibly ripping out the Kyuubi no Youko from his battered and heavily injured body. The man is still out there, and still has the Kyuubi sealed away. However since the forced extraction, Naruto has begun improving a lot, up to the point of becoming the next Kiri Swordsman after Momochi Zubuza, since he now wields the Kubikiri Hocho."
"What!? Bull fucking shit!" They heard the outcry from the Kiri Genin team.
"Yeah, like you have the Kubikiri Hocho!" The team mate yelled, KI leaking forth.
Naruto simply took off the scroll hanging off his left hip, and unsealed it with a poof of smoke. Once it cleared, thanks to Tenten's training, he could now to an extent lift the heavy weapon with slight ease. He revealed the fabled sword of Zubuza, now putting proof in the fact that he does own the weapon.
"Well, you can lift the weapon, that's impressive," Temari adds her two cents with a grin.
"Zubuza came to me in a dream I had... if passing out and seeing Kiri's gates in a slight foggy atmosphere counts as one, and told me that I can carry forth his weapon as my own..."
The three Genin charged him, yelling for his death, but Naruto had swung the weapon, causing everyone to jump out of the way as the three ninja were sent flying to the ground, cuts across their chest. He stabs the sword into the wooden floor and unsheathes the Master Sword, and held it up as one Genin struck him with a kunai. He had effectively countered, and now he was holding his side, crying out in pain from the cut that Naruto released with the counter of the Back Slice technique. Ibiki rushed into the room, kunai held as Naruto leapt back. Other various ninja had also filled the room, weapons drawn.
"What the fuck is going on here!?" He yelled.
"The Genin from Kiri are pissed that I now carry Momochi Zubuza's Kubikiri Hocho upon the man's death wish, and attempt to kill me for it." Naruto noticed the look he got from Ibiki as he walked over to the heavy sword, and sealed it again before attaching the scroll to his hip.
"Well, you three shits go to the hospital to get those wounds treated, and then get out of the village; you're out of the exams."
"That's bullshit!"
Ibiki growls. "Then you shouldn't have attacked first. I saw it all... get out of here before you bleed all over my classroom."
The three ninja sent Naruto hated looks, and left the classroom, shoving past the team from Oto.
"Mendokuse," Naruto mutters.
"That's my catchphrase, get your own," Shikamaru mutters.
Naruto was handed the Master Sword's sheath, and he gently places it back in its case.
"Now then, with one team out already... this will be much harder for you. Anymore attacks, and I'll kick your asses out, got it? My name is Morino Ibiki, and I am the First Proctor of the Chunnin Exams. Sit down you maggots intermingled with your peers. I don't want to see any of you sitting next to any of your team mates... this exam shall be a written course." He smiled sinisterly.
In the next five minutes, the only sounds was of scratching pencils, the slight buzz of a fly, and soft barks coming from Akamaru. In fact, the test was a written, except if anyone was caught cheating five times you are out of the Chunnin Exams. The true exam was to gather information without anyone seeing you. Which meant you're supposed to cheat! Everyone stopped when music started up, and turned to Naruto. He had his Ninpod out, and was playing random songs. The song was Let It Rock. The sounds was silenced when Naruto put on earphones and stuck them in his ears, and returned to his test. Ibiki watched the blonde wearing the odd green tunic outfit, but returned to gazing out at the other ninja, while several teams had been kicked out for being caught five times.
What is this music? Midna asks Naruto.
My kind of music... before I would never listen to the radio, but after that Twilight character had ripped the fox out of my body a month ago, well, you've seen how much I've changed, Midna-chan.
Oh, I see... this is weird music, and so are the lyrics.
Well, it's probably much different from the music you've listened to or have heard.
True... I know for a fact that there was no music quite like this centuries ago. In fact, the only music I have heard are parade music, or that music form the ragtag band that plays everyday for entertainment in Hyrule Castle's town.
At the end of the hour long test, a total of eight teams were knocked out of the exams (not counting Kiri beforehand). Naruto turned the volume down on his Ninpod, as Ibiki explained the tenth question. Naruto had answered the best he could, but other than that, just sat there listening to his Ninpod. He then told that if anyone who felt that they cannot go on, due to the ruling that if you failed the tenth question, you can never become Chunnin, a few more stragglers left. Sakura was about to quit, but she saw Sasuke glare at her. She didn't' want to seem weak, so she kept her hand down.
"Well, anyone else?"
No one said anything, and Naruto simply yawned. Ibiki took a second look at the blonde.
Where did he get that threat and needle from?
Naruto had taken off the plate of his hitai-ate, and was sewing it onto this green... hat like item he had taken out.
"Well, those who are still here, you pass."
Naruto took off his earphones, and put away his Ninpod after switching it of.
"Did you say something?"
Sweatdrops. Ibiki was reminded of Kakashi all of a sudden.
"Didn't you hear what the hell I just said, Uzumaki?" Ibiki yelled.
"Nope, too busy sewing." Snickers form the guys was heard, while the female audience all glared at the guys but Sakura and Ino because, well, sewing isn't just for girls of course.
Have to thank Hinata for showing me how to needle sew, Naruto thought. He finished with his little project, and the window crashed as Anko leapt into view, a banner loudly and colorfully proclaiming the sadistic Jounin. Naruto had just placed the green hat on his head, and made sure it was a perfect fit. The hat was a replica of Link's, and Midna could now see Link in Naruto, just that Naruto had attached the silver plate with Konoha's icon on the front of the green hat.
"Anko!" Ibiki yelled, "You jumped the gun!"
Now, I have a few doubters... I will make this work... I made the crossover beetween HP and YGO following the YGOverse work very well despite how weird it was, and I can do this as well.
