Anyways on to the next chapter! Oh and also…………..Please don't be pissed off with Minato. Naruto aint going to be super pissed with him upon his arrival back although he will be disappointed but that will come later.
Now on to the Chuunin Exams yay!
Chapter 8: Chuunin Exams……..Enough said.
(On the way back to Konoha from Wave)
"So gaki, you think that your Hokage is willing to take me into the ranks of your shinobis? You know my record and the bounty on my head is pretty enticing itself." Zabuza said. Although Naruto told him he can join Konoha he still had some doubts himself.
"Ya it won't be a problem. I know the Hokage personally remember? I will just explain the benefit and the situation to him." Naruto replied
"Alright. I'm trusting you but if you or the village even betray me, I will spend the rest of my life ruining and killing every ninja that comes out of your ranks." Zabuza said threatening.
Naruto was a bit nervous as were the group but Haku stepped up.
"Don't worry Zabuza-sama. I believe in Naruto. He won't disappoint us. Besides, it will be great to finally have a place to stay instead of moving around all the time. Not to mention we will be able to build a clan." Haku said while talking to Zabuza.
Zabuza began thinking about the benefits of forming a clan. He knew he would probably be the head of it but would only take a wife if needed. He was going to let Haku deal with having multiple wives. After he heard of the CRA from Naruto, he decided that only one woman would be enough for him. Anything else would just be………..silly.
"Ya, you're right Haku. It is nice to have a place to stay after running for so long. Yo, Yakama, you sent that headband back to Kiri right?" Zabuza wondered.
"Hai, everything is going according to plan. They should have gotten the message by now. If they don't believe it well tough luck. There's no way that they can trace you back to Konoha. Even if they do, you will be under our protection." Yakama replied.
That in itself made a little peace in Zabuza's mind. After further walking Haku decided to voice a bit of concern.
"Naruto-san…………uhm……..where are we going to be staying. I mean, I don't think that the Hokage will be able to give us a hotel room or apartment for now."
"Well, you will be living with me. I have plenty of rooms, a forge for Zabuza if he wishes to fine tune his weapon as well as a lot of materials to improve upon it," that caught Zabuza's attention, "also there's a few training grounds on the property so that you guys can keep training." Naruto said nonchalantly.
"Tell me Naruto……..what kind of materials do you have?" Zabuza wondered.
"Well, I had Ojii-san show me around the forge and he found some special metals. They can be infused with swords, tonfas, kunais, and another weapon I forgot about which will allow them to channel chakra into the weapon. Why? You interested?" Naruto asked as if he didn't know the answer.
Zabuza nodded and continued to chat with Naruto. The girls took the time to talk with Haku to get to know him better. He gave them a demonstration of his KG. The girls were impressed at how easily he was able to make it. Yakama also told him he was impressed and was glad that they decided to join Konoha.
Finally at their journey which took two days at the most, they finally arrived at their destination.
( Gates of Konoha )
"Halt. Present your papers and reaso……." Before Kotetsu finished he set his gaze upon Zabuza. He knew about the missing nin and was about to draw his weapon before Yakama spoke up.
"Its ok Kotetsu. Zabuza and his……………son are here to apply for citizenship in Konoha. We wish to speak with the Hokage on the situation."
Kotetsu lowered his guard and called for Izumo to come over.
"We will have to hold onto your weapon then Zabuza-san until it is time to give it back. I'm sorry but it is security protocol." Izumo said.
Zabuza unstrapped his mighty sword and handed it over. Izumo called over two ANBU near by and had him placed in chakra restraints.
"We will escort him to the Hokage's office with you. This is for the safety of the village. Zabuza, should you make one threatening move, we will be forced to kill you." The ANBU in the Cat mask said.
Zabuza nodded and all proceeded to the Hokage's office at a quick pace.
"Yakama-san, why is Zabuza-sama in restraints and I am not?" Haku asked softly.
"That's due to you are not in the bingo books. Just be quiet for now and only speak when spoken to when you meet the Hokage. He may be a kind old man but he is very strict with punishment on those who threaten his village." Yakama said and Haku just nodded. He was hoping that he didn't piss off the Hokage.
(Hokage's Tower)
After ten minutes everyone arrived at the tower and they walked up to the desk where the Hokage's secretary was sitting.
"Please inform the Hokage Team 10 and Guests are here to see him." The Cat faced ANBU told her.
After a few minutes, three elderly people walked out of the room and they were not too happy. As they walked passed the team, Naruto thought he heard demon brat but shook it off as nothing. After that, the Hokage called them in. Upon their entry, they could tell the Hokage was fuming and not happy about something.
"Hey Ojii-san, you alright? You seem upset." Naruto said.
"I will discuss it after the meeting. So present your report and could someone tell me why two of my ANBU are here along with these two individuals." the Sandaime said hoping that there wasn't a headache for him in the future.
"Hai Hokage-sama let me explain." Yakama said and presented the mission details.
After two hours, the Hokage were looking at the two in the office that were trying to find asylum, and home in Konoha with a bit of suspicion. Although the report was thorough and had Naruto's help as well, the Hokage felt like something was left out. What he didn't know was that Naruto and Yakama forgot about Haku's bloodline.
"That is a very detailed report. Zabuza is it? Why do you wish to settle in Konoha?" the Hokage said already hearing the answer from Yakama but wished to hear it from the horses mouth.
"As your nephew said, I wish to find a place where I can call my own. I know of my previous past activities, however with my headband sent to Kiri with enough blood that should convince them, I no longer want to run. My………..son here wishes to settle as well and create a clan with me as his Guardian." Zabuza replied earning him another suspicious glare from the Hokage.
"What do you have to offer Konoha. I'm well aware of your training as a swordsman and that can be useful for others as well as having a Master here in the village to train others, but that is not enough to openly apply for a clan. Do you have any type of special abilities to offer the village or a type of bloodline?"
"Kami damn it you little fucking gaki. Did you and your sensei forget to mention a certain bit of detailed information?" Zabuza said earning a confused look from the Hokage and a sheepish look from both Naruto and Yakama both realizing their mistake. "*sigh* Hokage-sama, although I do not have a bloodline…………….my adopted son does. He owns the Hyouton Bloodline. He can easily create ice with no problems." Zabuza said.
The Hokage was quite shocked to hear this. He approached the young boy and analyzed him thoroughly. He asked for a demonstration and Haku created a Demonic Ice Mirror. The Hokage was astounded to hear this. Another bloodline limit in Konoha was indeed quite enticing. After further inspection of the boy, the Hokage came to a conclusion but first he needed answers.
"Haku how old are you?" Hiruzen asked.
"I'm 15 Hokage-sama. Why do you wish to know?"
"And if you can rank yourself, what would you consider yourself to be?"
"I would consider myself a mid to high chuunin level shinobi. I would automatically consider myself a high chuunin if not for my chakra reserves and taijutsu skills."
"Hmmm, well Haku, I can't allow you to create a clan as of now in the village……….or should I say create one and be head of it." the Hokage said.
Haku put his head down when he heard that he couldn't create a clan, but then picked his head up at the end of the sentence.
"You see Haku, you are a year too young to be the head of a clan and you are not a Jounin yet. Once you reach the required age and shinobi rank, I can allow you to become the clan head of your desired clan. For now, I will allow you to create a clan and you will have Zabuza be the head of said clan. That is however, after Zabuza is released from ANBU and not deemed a threat to the village. Zabuza, you will go with my two guards to ANBU headquarters will you will be interrogated. Should you reveal all the information that is need and not lie, I say that you will be released by tomorrow afternoon. Also, should you be released, you will be given the rank of Special Jounin for now and be put on probation. After a three month probation period I will discuss with the others about your progress. If they deem you worthy, you will be promoted to full jounin. Do you both comply?"
Both Zabuza and Haku nodded.
"Good, now if or once you are released, I will have to call a Council meeting concerning this. Haku, Zabuza you will both required to attend. Until then, ANBU please escort Zabuza to the interrogation department." the Sandaime said.
After their departure, Haku was the only one left in the room with the group. "Naruto, how about you send a shadow clone with Haku and have him show the village to our new guest?" Naruto complied and made a shadow clone and they both left.
"Ok now that its just us here, Naruto, the reason as to why I was upset is that those three cronies do not wish that you participate in the upcoming Chuunin Exams."
Naruto was shocked that he had heard that. Yakama was livid that the council was preventing Naruto from joining the exams, Ino was mouthing off very vulgar words at those three old bats, while Hinata kept quiet although you can see the rage in her eyes.
"However, that is why I am calling a meeting tomorrow. The council is going to vote on what should happen. I want you to know that I am going to do everything I can to prevent this. Understand?"
Naruto and the group nodded.
"Good, now that you guys are back from the mission, I guess I have to upgrade it for you now don't I? Well, since you face off against two C-rank Missing nin's, that in itself is upgraded to a B-Rank, but with the assault of an A-Rank missing nin as well as a B-rank accomplice, the execution of a world criminal and his bandits, as well as rescuing the town, the mission will be upgraded to A-rank. Congratulations everyone. You are the first Genin team ever to accomplish this feat. I am very proud." Sarutobi said.
Yakama was the only one in the group that didn't blush at the praise although his ego was boosted by hearing it.
"Now, why don't you all go home for the evening and get some rest. Come back tomorrow for your pay. You are given the rest of the week off."
And with that the group left the building. Naruto and the girls took off to his house while Yakama just went to the Sarutobi compound. He was reminded that he was supposed to meet Kurenai for dango and drinks once he returns. Hopefully, she was still in town.
Naruto took the time to find Haku and tell him about the other great places in Konoha. The girls were very happy that Naruto made another friend and they helped him with the layout of the village.
After two hours of walking around the girls and the boys all walked to Naruto's house. He was getting the usual glares from the civilians and Haku was still wondering why. Upon their arrival, they noticed to people at the front gate.
"Hey Fuu-neechan! Shino-san! Whats up!?" Naruto yelled. Fuu and Shino both blushed slightly which didn't go unnoticed.
"Guys, care to explain why you are blushing?" Ino asked with her curiosity getting the best of her.
"H-hai. Naruto-nii, me and Shino well………don't get mad please. We kinda started going out." Fuu said hoping her adopted brother would approve.
"WHAT?!" Naruto yelled. He was seeing the tears start to form in Fuu's eyes so he quickly responded.
"No, no nee-chan. Don't cry. I'm just shocked is all. I never thought that you two would be the ones to date let alone Shino. No offense." Naruto said.
"None taken Naruto-san." Shino replied.
"So………..you approve nii-chan?" Fuu said hoping for the right answer
"Heck ya! I'm very happy for you big sis!" Naruto replied. "Now, Shino, before you leave how about we all go inside, I will cook some dinner. I have some explaining to do about our guest here and what is about to happen in the village." Naruto said in a semi-serious voice but still had some of his humor in it.
The group followed Naruto inside. Naruto introduced Haku to Fuu and Shino and explained the situation about what is going on. From Haku going to create a clan form the council meeting tomorrow while Naruto's shadow clones prepared the meals for the big group. After some rather heated debate about how shitty the council is everyone calmed down and proceeded to bug Shino and Fuu about their relationship.
The girls took Fuu to the side while Haku and Naruto went with Shino. Before the girls could question Fuu, Naruto needed to know something.
"Nee-chan, did Jiraiya-oji fix your seal?" Haku was wondering what Naruto was asking. Fuu just nodded.
"Ya, he said that someone almost ruined the seal matrix or something like that. He fixed the seal by using the same design as yours. He said that I now have full access to my chakra!" Fuu said excitedly. "Oh and I am now an official Konoha chuunin kunoichi!" Fuu said showing her hi-taite around her arm.
Everyone congratulated her and proceeded to talk amongst their groups. Finally Naruto brought everyone back together and told them he had something important to say.
After making everyone swear a blood oath not to reveal this to anyone unless they had Naruto's permission, Naruto revealed to the group that he hold's the Kyuubi within itself and actually summoned him with his Kage-Bunshin. Those who didn't know this were shocked. Hinata and Ino were then shocked when Kyuubi could be summoned.
The Kyuubi told them his story and what happened that fateful day. Naruto already knew this but it was still hard to hear. Everyone in the room were either depressed or crying by the end of the story. Fuu asked Kyuubi if it was possible for her Bijuu to be summoned outside but regretfully he said it wasn't. The seal that was placed on her would not allow it to happen. However, he did tell her to ask for permission for the Beetle Summoning scroll.
Both Fuu and Shino were surprised that there was such a scroll. Fuu asked her occupant and the bijuu told her they would talk later about it.
Finally, the Kyuubi told them about Naruto's plan. They all agreed to keep it secret for now and only reveal it when the time was right. After a few more discussions, the group decided to call it a night. Haku had a long day tomorrow and Naruto was planning a relaxing week with the girls. Kyuubi poofed out of existence and Naruto escorted his friends to the gate.
Once he returned, he showed Haku his room which was next to Fuu's. Haku was quickly settled in and went to sleep. Followed by Naruto, then Fuu after she had a long discussion concerning the Beetle Summoning Contract.
(Following Day - Council Meeting room)
Zabuza was released that early afternoon from ANBU and met up with Haku before heading to the entrance of the Council room.
Inside, the large group of people were bickering among themselves about petty things such as land restrictions, more promise for power, and requests for larger estates. The Hokage finally decided to make his move and quieted the room down.
"Now, I have called this meeting here to bring to the attention of the council about a clan that wishes to be formed."
"Who are they? What can they offer to Konoha?" Danzo said acting as if interested.
"Please, Bear, Cat, escort our guests in." the Sandaime said.
The two ANBU guards went to get Zabuza and Haku from outside. As soon as they entered there was already murmurs about them and a few angry remarks being thrown.
"Why is this Missing-nin here Hokage-sama? He is the Demon of the Mist. Surely he is not the one asking for a clan?" Homura said.
"We cannot allow this. He is a immediate threat to our village and should be killed on sight." Koharu said hoping her fellow advisors would back her up.
"Unfortunately they are the ones asking for asylum, citizenship, be allowed into our ninja ranks, and wishes to form a clan. Zabuza-san here has already faked his death and sent his hi-taite with a rather large supply of blood on it back to Kiri so that should be no problem with asylum. However, in regards to be allowed into the ranks and clanship that is why I bring it up here."
"He is still a missing nin Hokage-sama. He should be killed on sight like the order says in the bingo book." Danzo said.
"No, he will not. Zabuza here along with his son Haku would provide a much needed master in Kenjutsu to the village as well as something else." The Hokage said hoping someone would bite on the bait he laid out.
And like the great fisherman he wishes he was, someone did.
"Oh really Hokage-sama? What does a worthless missing nin and his weak son offer to this village?" a councilman said.
Both Haku and Zabuza sent some pretty lethal KI at said person dropping him immediately making them quiver in fear.
"No disrespect Hokage-sama, but me and my son do not wish to be considered weak. We will not ask again, if someone refers to us as weak, there will be consequences." Zabuza said in a monotone voice.
"Please, Zabuza-san. The room is stuffy as it is without your KI going off the scale. Please calm down." The Hokage said. After a few minutes both people calmed down and everyone in the room eased a bit.
"Now, do you wish to reveal as to why we would openly accept you as a clan Zabuza-san. For you to be recognized as a clan, there are three ways for this to happen and you must atleast have one. The first one is the easiest in which if you have a bloodline then it is immediate. The second is if you possess such a skill that only benefits your clan and would be considered a clan taijutsu or ninjutsu techniques. Same goes for any other skill. The third one is to have the talent for creating ninjutsu or any other kind of jutsu. The third one is the hardest as anyone can create a jutsu but for one to be truly great, it has to be natural and not forced creation." Sarutobi explained.
The council looked on and smirked as they believed that a missing nin and his son can not possibly have these skills. It is just impossible. Or so they thought.
"Well Hokage-sama, I believe we fit the first two criteria." Zabuza said with a smirk which was mirrored by Haku and the Hokage.
The council were a bit stunned. Even the ninja clan heads were stunned to hear this.
"Alright you pups, spill it. What can you do?" Tsume said wondering like the rest of the council about the same thing.
"Well, since you asked to nicely, I will explain what I have and Haku will explain what he has. First off, my master in Kenjutsu would be considered clan techniques as I know how to use the Silent Killing technique as well as two other similar assassination techniques used with swords. I'm a master in using large zanbato's like my original sword as well as many other's. That is a skill that would be taught to the clan later along the line as well as my personal taijutsu regiment that would combine Kenjutsu with it to make it a devastating assault." Zabuza said.
This was earning some glares from the civilian council and nods from the ninja council. Danzo was wondering himself if he can get Zabuza to train his ROOT members about this technique. Or if he wasn't compliant, then he would just kill him after Zabuza put his techniques into scrolls and he would steal them.
"Ok, that qualifies one of the two you claim to contribute to the village. What of the other?" Homura asked. He was already a bit angered but couldn't argue the facts about the uses they can provide to the village.
"Haku, explain please." Zabuza said.
"Hai, My name is Momochi Haku and I contain a Bloodline limit. I hear that this village appreciates them so I am clad that I came here. My bloodline is this," Haku said before doing a few one-handed hand seals and producing two Ice mirrors, "the name of my Kekkai Genkai is the Hyouton. I can easily create ice without any problems."
The council were stunned when they seen this. The last time a Kekkai Genkai like that was in the village was back with the Senju clan. They had the Mokuton or Wood Techniques but their clan died out with Tsunade being the last member and not able to give birth to children.
All the ninja heads were looking at the boy with amazement. The civilians were quickly thinking of ways they can get their children to become his wife and they can gain immense power and prestige from belonging to a clan. Danzo however was trying to figure out how to obtain the boy or atleast a genetic sample so that he can try and breed his own ice users.
"Well, I believe that suffices for now. I call for a Vote. All in favor for Haku and Zabuza to create their own clan by the name of Momochi, given citizenship and ranks in the village, raise your hands." Sarutobi said. The entire room raised their hands.
"Good, now that that is settled, Zabuza, you can remain and take the seat as Head of the Momochi clan. Haku, please leave as we need to discuss other business and I do not believe you want to be bored by said business just yet." Sarutobi explained.
Haku nodded and hugged his 'father' goodbye and wished him good luck. Zabuza took a chair next to Shikaku. He followed the clan heads idea and put his own head down and tried to sleep. Shikaku looked over and smiled.
"Heh, you got the right idea already. Not into these troublesome meetings I see?" Shikaku asked.
"Ya, I'd rather be getting completely plastered right now than be here." He responded.
"Hmmm, me and my other two friends are heading to the bar later tonight across town. Called the Kunai Layer. Good spot for ninja's that enjoy their sake. Care to join us?" Shikaku asked.
"You know what? How can I deny such a request. I do need to drink some sake as its been a while." he agreed.
As both clan heads were discussing their later outing, the Hokage called his final piece of business.
"Now, what is this that you wish to ban Naruto from participating in the chuunin exams?" The Hokage asked towards his three 'advisors'.
"The brat does not belong in the exams. He simply can not be allowed to progress in the ranks. If he accepts missions outside the village on a regular basis, then that's more of a chance that someone can capture him and turn him into a weapon against us." Koharu said.
"Yes, we simply cannot allow the demon container to progress. The stronger he gets, the more problems he will cause if the demon gets loose. We must hamper his progression now!" Homura replied.
"I agree with my colleagues. We cannot allow Naruto to proceed any further. We must keep him at genin level and only allowed around the village. We must keep him on a short leash." Danzo replied still wondering how he can get the boy.
"Fine, lets call it to a vote then. All those that wishes to hamper his progress raise your hand." Sarutobi said.
All of the civilian members of the council rose their hands as well as the three advisors.
"Impressive. Now all opposed?" Sarutobi said.
All the ninja clan heads raised their hand as well as the Hokage himself. The civilian council and the three advisors all smirked since they had finally won a vote to put a hamper on the progress of Naruto.
"Hmm, it seems heavily favored. Very well. Naruto will be allowed to participate in the upcoming chuunin exams. His progress will also not be hampered in any way." The Hokage said with a triumphant smile.
The whole room erupted with anger at that point.
"Hokage-sama! What is the meaning of this!? You were heavily overruled on the issue. This is an abuse of power!" Koharu screamed out with Homura and Danzo seething in anger behind her.
"Suiki, please enter." The Hokage said. From the door a very pale looking man came walking into the room. Everyone knew this man as the leading person of laws and regulations of the village. If he says its law, then its law. Not even the Hokage can argue. This man was always neutral on subjects like he was taught and never took sides no matter the consequences. If this man was called in, then the Hokage had something up his sleeve.
"Suiki, please tell the council, when it comes to a shinobi of this village, whether it be a genin or Kage him or herself, who gets to vote on the future or any matter concerning said shinobi or kunoichi." The Hokage said with a bit of a smirk.
"Hai Hokage-sama. For the matters that involves any shinobi under the command of the Hokage, the ones to vote on the matters are the Hokage's advisors, the Clan heads of the village, and the Hokage themselves. The Civilian Council have no say in the matter as it does not involve them. Should the matter that needs to be voted on have civilian implications, then the Civilian Council may vote." Suiki said in his monotone voice.
The civilian council and the advisors were livid. They couldn't believe that the Hokage pulled a fast one on them like this. After Suiki left the room, the Hokage spoke.
"Now that all business is over. The Council is dismissed. I have many matters to attend to with the upcoming chuunin exams."
After everyone was dismissed the Advisors approached the Hokage while he was talking with Zabuza.
"Don't think that you won here Hokage-sama. That demon brat will be kept on a leash while around the village." Koharu said with venom.
"He will come to me to train one day Hokage-sama. You can believe that much." Danzo said putting his two cents in.
"Hokage-sama, may I explain something to these three fossils?" Zabuza said earning a chuckle from the Hokage but shock from the elders.
"Do not test our patience. You are but a new Clan head in the village that has yet to earn anything. Do not disrespect us again or suffer the consequences." Danzo said with a smirk.
Before anyone could say anything, Zabuza was behind Danzo with a kunai at his throat.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't catch that? Were you threatening me you old flesh bag? And don't try to attack me with that blade hidden in your cane. I know all about it. Good choice in a concealed weapon, but not that great." Zabuza said earning a bit of a sweat forming on Danzo's head while the other two advisors were a bit worried.
"Calm down Zabuza. Release him and explain what you were going to explain." Sarutobi said
Zabuza released Danzo and was chuckling at him.
"You think I'm fast you old fart. Try the kid. He defeated me all on his own. I call myself a jounin to elite jounin and extremely strong. And the boy beat me without his 'tenant'. I know all about the demon as Naruto already explained it to me. If you all are thinking that you were hampering his training, heh, good luck. That boy will be stronger than anyone can imagine." Zabuza said and left leaving the three advisors to gawk at the Hokage. The Hokage laughed at them and proceeded to head back to his office leaving his 'advisors' to their thinking.
(Two Months Later)
Zabuza and Haku were now settled in on their property given to them by the Hokage. They were inspecting the new compound that was now right next to the Namikaze compound. Naruto asked them and the Hokage if it was alright to place it so close to him and they didn't seem to mind.
After their initial entry into the village, Haku was placed on a team with Fuu and had Zabuza as their Jounin leader. Fuu and Haku got along great with Zabuza as their sensei since they were paired. After a few weeks of training together to get their teamwork down, they finally got their first B-rank mission which was a join mission with team 10.
There was a some rumor that in Sea Country, there was a sea monster ravaging their shipping lanes so the Hokage had sent them to go investigate. Upon their arrival their, they started searching for clues as to what is happening.
The group then met up with a young girl that seemed to be considered some kind of monster and people were always throwing things at here and saying she was the reason behind the attacks.
After further investigation, it was discovered that Orochimaru, who Yakama had to explain to the group, had a science facility their. It seemed that this girl tried to run away from it but found herself back there doing their bidding in return for a cure to her condition.
After a confrontation with the group that was guarding the place, Naruto and his team took them out and captured the girl named Isaribi. They put her in chakra restraints and was going to be taken back to Konoha to get some information out of her if she has any on the missing Sannin.
Following that mission, the Hokage gave Team Zabuza a week of as well as team 10 so that they can get ready for the exams.
During that time, Naruto along with Hinata, Ino, and Tenten all were enjoying themselves as much as possible. They all agreed that if they were to some how be place against each other, they will fight with everything they got but still be friends later.
Naruto also got caught up with Chouji and Shikamaru as well as Kiba. Naruto tried to talk with Shino but he just kept wanting to be alone with Fuu. Naruto thought it was cute and said that if he ever needed anything to just ask. Naruto avoided Sasuke and Sakura since they were still annoying from what Shikamaru told him. He said that all they did was barely train while Kakashi-sensei was working with Sasuke mainly since he was the last Uchiha and only Kakashi can train him in the sharingan.
Naruto later found out that their sensei finally nominated their team to the chuunin exams as well as Kurenai with team 8 and Kakashi with team 7. Naruto was surprised that team seven was nominated but he would never underestimate a team by pure looks. All the groups found out and went out for a grand dinner that night with their senseis' with the exception of Kakashi who was off in his own world and Sasuke who was just brooding and being the normal emo kid he was known as.
As the week progressed, Naruto had invited everyone that was at the dinner to go do a little swimming at Naruto's house. When everyone got their, he explained his heritage to everyone. The whole group was pleasantly surprised when they heard this except for Hinata, Ino, and Tenten who knew this already as well as Yakama-sensei.
Naruto told them to keep it a secret as his heritage was going to be revealed during the finals of the exams should he make it that far with his team. Everyone agreed to keep it a secret and would act surprised at the announcement at the finals.
Team 8 with Kurenai, Shikamaru, Team 10 with Yakama, Team Zabuza, Team Gai with the exception of Neji who had 'better' things to do, and Anko who was invited by Yakama since she was part of his teams training followed Naruto to the back of his estate. Everyone was quite impressed at what they seen so far but their jaws dropped when they seen the lake in the back.
"Well everyone, this is my lake that my dad built in. If everyone brought their swimsuits, lets enjoy these final few days before the exams. If you need somewhere to change Ino and Hinata can show you around." Naruto said before going to the little bar area he built by the lake.
"Ino, Hinata, I left my bathing suit here the last time, I think I left it in one of the guest rooms, can one of you help me find it?" Tenten said and Hinata went with her to find her pink swimsuit.
"Wow Naruto, I'm impressed, we are going to have to hang out more around here ain't we Akamaru?" Kiba said standing next to Naruto while his little pup gave a yip in agreement.
"Heh, well you are welcome to come by when my heritage is announced. Till then this will be the only time I hold something like this here. Don't want my secret to get out to the village just yet." Naruto replied.
"Hey Naruto, you got any food around here man? I'm starving." Chouji said.
"Ha! I knew you would ask that. The food is sealed in the scroll here I was about to set up." Naruto said
After laying some tables out, Naruto unsealed a plethora of food ranging from dango, to ramen, to beef teriyaki, to chicken katsu and all the food was still very hot. Everyone went to the table to enjoy a little food before they started playing in the lake.
Everyone was having a good time, especially a certain purple-haired special Jounin.
"So, you're telling me that you can take out several shinobi with that silly sword of yours without breaking a sweat?" Anko said as if unimpressed.
"You know what? You're really irritating me. If it wasn't for that hot body of yours, you probably would last 5 minutes outside of real combat while you were distracting your enemy with your 'goods'." Zabuza said with a smirk.
"What did you say you piece of shit?!" Anko growled at Zabuza.
"You heard me. I know all about you Anko. The Snake mistress of Konoha, one of the only people willing to get their hands dirty to get the job done………………and rejected apprentice to that Snake pedophile." Zabuza said before ducking under a punch that Anko threw at him.
"You watch your ass you small fry. Or else my snakes will have you as lunch!" Anko yelled.
"Pfft. Your snakes can't bite what they can't get. Face it 'little girl', your out of your league with me. No go back and play with that little snakes before you bite off something more than you can chew." Zabuza said mocking Anko.
Anko then threw a spare Kunai at Zabuza's face fairly quickly. Before he could react it had already cut the side of his cheek and Anko was there licking his blood.
"Mmmmmm. I haven't had blood this tasty in a long time. You better not underestimate me. Or else it will be your head next time and not just a slight cut." Anko whispered and turned around and began to walk away.
Zabuza was slightly pissed and…………turned on? "That little bitch got me. Hmmmm, she could provide some amusement. Lets see how she reacts to this." Zabuza thought to himself.
After some handseals, Zabuza whispered "Kirigakure no Jutsu". The mist appeared over the lake and covered the beach blinding everyone with its thickness.
"Zabuza! What the hell man!? Release your Jutsu!" Naruto yelled. He always hated the mist after watching this scary movie how some monster in the mist started taking people and eating them.
The mist receded much to Naruto's appeasement. However, when it did, everyone say something they will never forget in their lives.
Anko was completely topless and she didn't even notice.
Anko turned around and her chest bounced slightly. She had very nice breasts that were atleast a 28 D-cup. Her nipples were very small but apparently they were erect at the moment. When the guys all got a look at her, they all fainted due to massive nosebleeds except for Zabuza who was laughing his ass off. The girls all just blushed and turned away. Before long Kurenai had to speak up.
"Damn it Anko! I know you like your breasts but did you have to show them here!?"
Anko looked down and blushed a very deep red that made violet jealous. She quick picked up her arms up and covered her chest. While this was happening, Zabuza was still on the floor laughing his ass off.
"Next time *pant* don't go *pant* throwing kunai at people you crazy bitch" Zabuza finally got out before catching his breathe.
Anko was now seeing red. Her rage will not be subsided as she grabbed her kunai that was nearby and charged at Zabuza aiming to kill. Zabuza was impressed at the KI she was sending but nothing he couldn't handle. He grabbed the kunai before she realized it and he now cut her cheek and licked her blood.
"Mmmmmm. I can see why you do this. Its fun. Maybe we can continue this at a later time?" Zabuza said in a whisper sending a shiver down Anko's back.
"What the hell is happening? Am I really getting turned on by this? Kami I really am fucking sick in the head……………….well atleast I ain't the only one. Maybe I should amuse him for now and see where this goes. Anyone this sick and sadistic is at the very least fun." Anko thought before whispering back.
"I say we finish this now." She whispered back get a raised eyebrow from Zabuza.
"Kurenai, give me your shirt. Me and Zabuza are going to end this little fight now at his compound. I know he has a sparring area there and I want blood." Anko said with a vicious smile on her face.
Kurenai pulled out an extra shirt and gave it to Anko. After she put it on, she led him away to Zabuza's clan area leaving the rest of the group to wake everyone up.
After Kurenai and the other girls woke everyone else up, Kurenai told them what happened and everyone thought Zabuza was a dead man. Naruto assured them that he will be fine and told them to enjoy the rest of the day.
After what seemed like seven hours of fun, everyone went home to rest for the rest of the time till the exams.
(Momochi Compound)
Haku got into his house and proceeded to walk to his room. After washing up and getting into some comfortable clothes, he heard something coming from Zabuza's room.
As he got closer he now wished he hadn't.
"Fuck me Zabuza!!!! FUCK ME HARD!!!!!" Yelled Anko while she was riding Zabuza.
"Kami woman!! You're going to be the death of me!!! And stop cutting me for kami sake! I know you are in love with blood but this is too much!!" Zabuza yelled while grunting.
"Oh shut up and fuck me will you! I'm almost there!! Oh! Oh!! OH!!! I'm CUMMING!!!" Anko yelled.
"Shit! I'm CUMMING TOO!!!" Hollered back Zabuza.
After a moment of silence, all Haku heard was the sound of two bodies hit the bed and then some snoring. He began to pray that this will not cause him nightmares. As he laid down in bed, it was too late……………the nightmares were starting and there was nothing he can do.
(End of the Week)
Naruto and his team were walking around town enjoying their final day before the exams when they ran into Konohamaru and his friends.
"Nii-san! Come play ninja with me!" Konohamaru asked.
"Heh, not this time. We have to get some gear for the chuunin exams." Konohamaru looked at the two girls behind him and asked.
"Hey nii-chan? Are they your girlfriends?"
"Hai. They are and I love them both. There is another one but she is training right now making some last minute preps. Why do you ask?"
"Have you made love to them?"
With that both girls HEAVILY blushed and the dreams went rampant. Naruto looked at his 'nii-chan' and said, "you're dead!"
Naruto chased Konohamaru when he ducked into a side street. Konohamaru thought he gave Naruto the slip before bumping into someone.
"Ouch. Hey kid what the hell is your problem? You like running into people?" The person said.
"Oh calm down Kankuro, he just a kid. It ain't like he meant to do it." A girl said that had the same hi-taite as he did.
"Temari, shut up will ya? I think I need to teach this kid some respect." Kankuro then picked up the kid by his scarf nearly choking him and cocked his fist back. Right before it hit, Konohamaru looked on and saw another hand gripping the fist.
"If you don't want an incident here in Konoha, I suggest you release the boy." Naruto said in a dead serious voice with both the kids standing behind him ready for action.
"Heh, what are your going to do about it blondie? You don't look so tou…." Before he could finish Naruto gripped the fist very hard and tighten his hold. Kankuro had a pained expression on his face before he dropped the boy.
"Konohamaru, you ok?"
"Ya boss. I'm going to get out of here later!" he said while his group followed him quickly.
Naruto let go of the boy and stared at him.
"You want to go boy!? Fine lets go!" Kankuro said about to unstrap this big object on back.
"Kankuro. Stand down. You are embarrassing Suna and the team." Said a voice in a very monotone voice.
All of a sudden, sand started pouring around the feet of the two boys and took the form of a young blood red haired boy that had the kanji love tattooed on his face.
"Hmm, I knew I felt someone else nearby. Who are you?" Naruto asked
"Gaara. And you?"
"Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto."
"Kit listen to me. This kid aint a push over. He carries Shukaku the Ichibi within him." Kyuubi told his host.
"Are you sure?"
"Ya. I can sense her chakra. No worries though. I think she knows of us and I can tell that shes scared."
"Why is it that Mother is so scared of you Naruto? You are very intriguing." Gaara said as Naruto felt the Killing intent spilling off his body.
Both Temari and Kankuro were now scared and didn't know what to do if Gaara lost it.
"I think I can handle this situation. I battle the Ichibi before and each time we fought she always lost. She was always afraid to fight me when I went into her territory in the past before major villages were set up."
"What do you have in mind?"
"Create a Hyou Bunshin and give it a lot of chakra. I will lend you some of mind to create. I want to make sure the kid doesn't go on a killing spree. I can feel her and she is extremely pissed right now like shes on her period."
"Too much info kyuu-sensei!"
"Just get him to follow you to the roofs and tell the group to stay behind. You need to talk to him."
Naruto agreed and told Gaara what to do. Gaara nodded and they both went up to the roof not being followed.
Naruto then started to do a few signs and said "Hyouton: Hyou Bunshin"
With a poof, and Ice clone came into being but looked different. When Gaara set his sights on it, he was trembling.
"Ah, I see you recognize who I am. Gaara and Ichibi, listen and listen well. I will only say this once. You will not harm any Konoha ninja during your stay here or throughout the exams. Should they attack you first, you will defend and immobilize them but not kill them. I will know and if it happens you both can look forward to meeting the Shinigami." Kyuubi said in his Hanyou form with nine-tails waving behind him.
"Don't be surprised Gaara, I can summon him out if I wish. And I would listen to him." Naruto said.
"Hmmm, I can sense that you are lacking sleep boy. Seems that your seal is unstable which causes her voice to be screaming into your head. Ichibi, I know you can hear me. You will stop trying to take over the boys body and mind. Should you keep attempting, I will find a way to enter that body and destroy you from the inside out. Do you get me my little doggy bitch?" Kyuubi growled.
"H-hai Kyuubi-sama. She understands and tells me that she will not do anything of the sort. She asks for forgiveness." Gaara said now thoroughly freaked out and scared shitless.
"Very well. I am going back to my home. Remember my warning you two. You will not want my vengeance cast upon you!" Kyuubi said before dispersing the ice clone.
"Now, you and your team will go to your hotel and stay there until the exams. Leave." Naruto said and Gaara complied jumping back down to the ground.
"Temari, Kankuro, we're leaving back to the hotel. We go now." Gaara said before taking off with his siblings following behind.
Naruto then jumped down and explained what happened to the girls. They just looked at him and shook their heads.
"Naruto, you are the most unpredictable ninja here. Don't every change" Hinata said and kissed his cheek.
"Hey! Don't forget about me!" Ino said giving him a kiss on the opposite side.
"Hehe, you girls are too much. C'mon, we need to check our gear and prepare for tomorrow."
(Following day - Start of Exams)
Naruto woke up quite early today in preparation for the exams. He took his normal shower, ate his breakfast, and proceeded to the Academy where the first exam is to be held at 9 in the morning. He had an hour to get their but decided to take his time.
After meeting up with his team, they all went to the academy. Once they got their, they saw the sign to go to room 301 and report in.
As soon as they entered, they started to go upstairs and go to their room. Once they got to the second floor, they noticed a crowd gathered at a door. Naruto immediately noticed Tenten and her team and took notice of the Genjutsu cast on the door to make it appear the room they needed to go to but one problem.
They were on the second floor. Room 301 was on the third. Naruto got a look from Tenten that said she knew so Naruto played along. The group figured out this was supposed to weed out the bad elements. So after arguing with the two chuunins there to let them in, Naruto finally decided to head up stairs with Tenten, Rock Lee, and Neji Hyuuga, who kept giving extremely evil glares at Hinata.
Naruto decided to let it go and they all entered the room to notice a ton of genins there already. There were two groups from Kumo who just sent lecherous looks at Hinata due to her being an unsealed Hyuuga, several other teams from Konoha, the sand team, three Rain groups, one Kusa group, and a weird group with a musical note for a symbol.
Naruto found his friends and went over to chill with them. Not long after, Team seven decided to enter with Sasuke looking dead on at the 'dobe'.
"Well dobe, looks like your sensei is letting such a weak team enter the exams this year. You should back out now before you get hurt." Sasuke said smugly with Sakura going head over heels for him.
"Yo Shika, he hasn't changed since the academy has he?" Naruto asked a bored looking Shikamaru.
"Nope. He's been the same troublesome person as before"
"Heh, so you're still the same emo, duck-ass, smug genin as before eh Sasuke?" Naruto said while smirking.
"Naruto-baka! Don't talk like that to Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said while trying to hit him over the head hard only to have it blocked by Ino rather quickly. Sasuke didn't even see her move.
"Look forhead, you will not lay a finger on him. Got it?" Ino said then let her hand go.
"Why are defending such a class loser Ino-pig? He's nothing like Sasuke-kun!" Sakura shouted.
"You're right. He is absolutely better!" Ino retorted.
Before a cat fight can break out a silver haired boy with glasses came over.
"Hey, you guys should keep it down. Wouldn't want to attract any extra attention." He said.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked.
"The name is Kabuto. I'm surprised they let rookies in this year. You know these exams are hard right?"
"How hard?" Ino asked.
"Well, this is my seventh time taking it. Each time was harder than the last but I think I'm ready now."
Naruto looked at the girls and they all nodded. He was lieing. Kabuto had a slight twitch to his eyebrow when he said that.
"Well, since I'm feeling generous today, how about I help you guys. Check these out." Kabuto said pulling out some kind of cards. "These are nin-cards. They have information about ninja that are here."
Sasuke was the only one to step up. "Gaara of the Sand, Rock Lee of Konoha, and Uzumaki Naruto of Konoha."
"Awww that's now fair. You know the names already. Well first off Gaara. Lets see.
Gaara No Subaku
Genin Rank of Suna
Sand Specialist.
No Known Weapons
39 D-ranks
15 C-ranks
4 B-ranks
Gaara has been on many dangers missions only to come back unharmed. Not a single scratch was found and each mission was completed.
"Well that's interesting. First time I'm seeing this. He might be strong." Kabuto said only getting a "hn" from Sasuke before going to the next nin.
Rock Lee
Genin Rank of Leaf
Taijutsu Specialist
No Known Weapons
60 D-ranks
10 C-ranks
Unable to mold chakra correctly due to medical problem. This causes him only have taijutsu as he can never use ninjutsu or genjutsu.
"Ah now that is something else. Now lets get to the final guest."
Uzumaki Naruto
Genin Rank of Leaf.
????
Proficient in Bojutsu and uses Bo Staff
28 D-ranks
9 C-ranks
2 B-ranks
1 A-rank
"Wow. Uzumaki-san. You are quite impressive." Kabuto said having a weird look in his eye.
Sasuke was now thoroughly pissed. He hadn't even gone on a single B-rank mission yet this dobe went on 2 and an A-rank mission! Sasuke then began to glare daggers at Naruto while Naruto was staring at Kabuto.
"Hey Kabuto-san, you know, one doesn't acquire that information easily you know. D-rank and C-rank missions are known throughout the civilian populace but B-rank and A-ranks are considered to be kept in the Hokage's tower in the files and records and need to requested by Jounin's or higher. So tell me, how did you come across this information?" Naruto said.
Many genin's now were staring at Kabuto wondering his answer. If this was true, then how did Kabuto come across this information.
Kabuto was sweating bullets now. He couldn't believe that he was so close to being figured out by a simple genin. Before he could say anything, Naruto snatched the cards out of his hand with extreme speed.
"Here, let me help you dispose of illegal information." Naruto said and crushed all the cards.
Kabuto was now pissed that this happened. He had all the information for his master in those cards and now they were ruined and destroyed. Before he could do something to retaliate, the group of sound nin attack Kabuto. Although the one with metal plates with holes on his arm missed, Kabuto doubled-over and threw up his lunch as his glasses broke.
Hinata knew what happened and would tell her team later about it.
"My name is Dosu. Don't forget it tree huggers. We are the team to watch for."
Before Naruto could react, a very large man charged into the room and yelled gaining everyone's attention.
"Listen up you little fucking maggots! My name is Morino Ibiki, and I'm your first proctor for the exam! If you fight without my permission you will automatically fail. Now take your seats with your designated names on it and shut the hell up."
Everyone in the room took their seats and began to listen to the first proctor.
"Alright the first exam is a written one! There are some rules you will need to know to listen up! First of all, you will need ten points to pass this exam. Each exam has ten questions on it and each are worth two points. For everytime you cheat I will deduct one point from your overall score. If I catch you or any of the other proctors catch you more than three times you are disqualified. Also, this is a team score. If each one of your team mates cheats, it goes against your total score. So you don't have to cheat to get thrown out if your teammates cheat. Now flip over those tests that were handed out and begin!"
Everyone turned over the papers and began to answer the best they could.
Naruto looked at the questions. They were all pretty easy for him and the girls since they all were pretty smart. All though some of the questions were fairly tough they could skip a few and still pass.
After a few minutes, some teams were being thrown out for cheating. Naruto looked over and seen that other genins were cheating. Sasuke had his sharingan activated, Gaara had this weird eye over him looking around., Kiba was talking with his dog, Shino was using his bugs…………that was when it all came together for him.
It doesn't matter if you cheated or not. This is about intel gathering. Naruto probably had a good idea what was coming next so he just relaxed while the others took the test.
After an hour passed by, Ibiki spoke up. "Alright you shitty little wannabe's, time for the final question. Before I ask it there is something you wish to hear. If you don't want to take the question, you may leave and try again another year. No one will hold it against you if you leave. However, if you do take the question and answer it wrong, then you not only failed the test but can will be a genin for all of your careers!"
"That's bullshit! We know there are others that tried to retake the tests several times." Yelled a boy in the back.
"Well tough shit. This year its my rules. If you don't like it then leave!"
After a while, a couple other groups got up and left. Ino and Hinata looked at Naruto who just had a relaxed grin on his face.
"Well, if you're all going to stay here, then I have only one word to say to you…………………………You Pass!"
Everyone in the room except Naruto sweatdropped.
"What the hell was that!?" Kiba yelled.
"There was no final question. Well if you count taking the final question as it then I guess you pass. Not all missions are going to be combat and an all out war. There will be times that you will need to gather intel. Information is a very important tool for any shinobi." Ibiki then took off his bandana to show his very disfigured and scared head, "If one gets their hands on information, they gain a very valuable tool towards the enemy. If you give it up, then you shame yourself and your fellow comrades." Ibiki said.
Before Ibiki can continue a large crash entered the room and a sign was then thrown up on the wall that read "Congratulations for passing the first exam. I'm your next Proctor, Anko Mitarashi."
"Jeez Anko, really? I wasn't even done yet."
"Tough shit Ibiki…………….What the hell?! 16 teams still?! You're losing your touch!"
As Anko went to the front of the class she proceeded to shout. "Alright you little shits. Follow me! We are heading to the Forest of Death and the next part of the exam!"
And with that Anko left with everyone following her.
(Border of Fire Country)
"Well Minato-gaki, you training is complete. When do you wish to leave for the exams? You know they started already." Tsunade said while packing some things.
"We leave in one week." Minato said with a big grin on his face.
(author's notes!)
Hey everybody. I don't really have much to say this time around and no shout outs this week I'm getting a bit sick and might not update next week we will have to see.
So how did you guys like the little Zabuza Anko thing? I think its perfect. Both are sadistic bastards and their kinky sex will over get weirder over time.
Yes I added Isaribi but she will be a prisoner until the end of the exams. Tsunade will try to fix her problem and then I will add her more into the story.
Finally……………Ya I wanted to scare Gaara badly. He will help with the upcoming invasion but I am doing things a bit differently.
Anyways I'm out of here folks! Please leave reviews and see yall later!
MOAR REVIEWS PLX!!!!
