As Naruto walked by Team 8, his eyes locked with those of Yuhi Kurenai. If someone looked close enough that would have seen the hatred and disgust being exchanged between the two. Then as quickly as it happened, the two broke their stare and Naruto continued down the catwalk only to stop when someone spoke to him.
"Uzumaki-san, a moment of your time?" Turning to the speaker. The Saiyan recognised the high collar jacket and black sun glasses of Aburame Shino, bug user and (In Broly's opinion the strongest, human, Genin from Naruto's class). The entire room was staring and waiting for whatever Shino had to say or to see what Naruto would do. "Regardless of our sensei and team-mates choices neither myself or Hinata see you as a demon" Blinking owlishly Naruto looked at the young girl and saw her swiftly nod her head, while keeping it in a low submissive pose (that or she was to embarrassed to look up and end up staring at the bare chest of her not so secret crush)
"Is that so? Maybe there is hope for this village after all" Looking straight at Shino and Hinata, Naruto gave them a small nod of his head and turned away down the walk way. A small smirk appeared on his face when he picked up the traces of arousal coming from the Hyuuga heiress. When he reached his team, Naruto noticed the looks he was getting from Sakura and Kakashi. "I know what you're thinking Kakashi-sensei and no he is not the reason behind this. That doesn't mean he isn't involved"
Sakura who had remained quiet during this was about to speak when Naruto cut her off "Sorry Sakura but until I have spoken with Hokage-sama I am afraid I can't tell you anything!" "Actually Naruto, that isn't what I was going to ask!" This caught the former blond by surprise "Ok then Sakura, what were you going to say?"
Sakura noticed that Naruto was leaving chan off her name, and it shocked her how much it hurt, but she quickly pushed that thought out of her mind….well almost. "Well Naruto I was wondering if maybe" A blush of Hinata sized proportions lit up the girl's face as she turned away from her team-mate "I-if maybe y-you could put some…eh…p-p-pants on?" This got a reaction no one expected, or maybe they did, every female from age thirteen to thirty took one look at the now pants less Naruto and were blown back by massive nose bleeds.
At that moment in Konoha hospital, Uchiha Sasuke sat up in his hospital bed with the feeling that he was missing out on something he would really enjoy seeing. (Come on if he isn't gay then Ireland is the capital of the world)
After Naruto had gotten some new pants and all the women had recovered from their little perverted episode the preliminaries continued with Rock Lee vs. Hyuuga Hinata. It was an interesting match-up and although the Hyuuga heiress tried her hardest, she was unable to counter Lee's inhuman speed and ultimately lost when the green clad shinobi caught the heiress in the side of the skull with a vicious kick. When Hinata woke up and learned that she had been beaten, she was devastated but Shino informed her that her opponent could have been a lot worse. Seeing the confused look on his team mates face, the bug user casually tilted his head towards Hinata's cousin Neji.
The next match did involve Hyuuga Neji and his opponent was Akimichi Choji. Sadly for the rotund boy he was simply no match for the Hyuuga prodigy and was brought down with a quick Jyuuken strike to the back of the neck. When medics arrived they discover, much to the relief of his friends and team mates, that Choji was very much alive he was just unconscious. After the Akimichi was carted away by medics and Neji was named the winner, the preliminaries moved on to the final match Kinuta Dosu vs. Sabaku no Gaara.
"Well now, I was hoping to fight Uchiha Sasuke but I guess I'm going to have to kill you before I can fight him" Laughed Dosu thinking that this was going to be an easy fight. "You do not interest me or mother. Killing you would be pointless" Replied the ever emotionless Gaara as he turned away from Dosu. "Pointless huh? Well lets see if you find this pointless!Kyomeisen" Dosu swung his melody arm creating a sound wave that immediately cause Gaara to hold his head in pain. With his head throbbing in pain from the sound and Shukaku's demented screams of anger. Gaara turned to face Dosu, out stretched his hand "Sabaku Kyu" The sand shoot out and wrapped around the sound user, quickly in casing him in it's crushing grip. "Die. Sabaku Soso" Curling his hand into a fist, Gaara willed the sand to crush Dosu. He never stood a chance. When Gaara was named the winner, nothing remained of the sound Ninja other then a bloody stain on the floor and walls.
The winners of the matches soon assembled on the arena floor.
"Congratulations on passing the preliminaries. (Cough) If you would all come and draw a number from this box," Hayate said and indicated to a box Anko was holding. Anko walked over to each one with a box with slips of paper with the numbers 1-9 on them, and each of the competitors took one of the slips in the box at random.
"State your name and number you have," said Ibiki, as he looked at Neji first, and saw the boy show him the number in his hand.
"Hyuuga Neji. I got # 2," said Neji showing the paper with the number written on it.
"Sabaku no Temari. I got # 5," said Temari showing her slip of paper with the said number.
Sabaku no Gaara. I got # 3," said Gaara, as he had his sand hold the paper with the odd number for him.
"Rock Lee. I got # 7. YOSH!" said Lee
"Aburame Shino. I have # 1," said Shino showing his paper with the given number.
"Nara Shikamaru. I have number # 6, troublesome" Said Shikamaru in his usual lazy tone.
"Sabaku no Kankuro. I got # 9," said Kankuro while silently dancing around inside at not having to face Gaara or his sister since both could kick his ass all over the place.
"Uzumaki Naruto. I have number # 8," said Naruto turning his head to Lee, who was now grinning happily at the thought of fighting Naruto and his new form.
"Which means Uchiha Sasuke is number #4" Said Ibiki seeing that it was the only number left.
"All right. We have your names, numbers, and who you will be facing one Month from now in the finals in the Chuunin Stadium," said Hayate showing them the list on the board.
First Match: Aburame Shino VS Hyuuga Neji
Second Match: Sabaku no Gaara VS Uchiha Sasuke
Third Match: Sabaku no Temari VS Nara Shikamaru
Fourth Match: Rock Lee VS Uzumaki Naruto
Sabaku no Kankuro faces the winner of the last match
"You now know who you are fighting in two Months. Good luck to all of you, as you will need it for the road ahead in preparing for what lies ahead of you, and make your nation proud," said the Hokage. "Why two months," Shikamaru asked. "Because we have to send out invitations for everyone who has to be here to witness the exam," Hiruzen replied, "The judges will decide who becomes Chuunin and not." "Judges," Shino asked. "In this exam," Hiruzen explained, "The ones who get promoted to Chuunin are those that show the judges that they have the qualities of a Chuunin. A ninja's true strength can only be measured in combat, and that's the purpose of the main matches. Judges are made up of important people from the villages, including the daimyo of the different countries." "The second exam is finished," Anko barked, "Meet in the main arena in two months. Dismissed."
All of the Genin left the chamber with their respective Jounin. Naruto however was held back by the Sandaime.
"Naruto," Hiruzen said, "We have much to discuss"
(Hokage's tower, half an hour later)
"*sigh* So I am to understand that you are the descendent of some all powerful alien warrior, who's power was so dense in you're mother's DNA that when you were born you were no longer human and when the Yondaime Hokage sealed the kyuubi in to you he also sealed away that power, which was released during you're fight with Inuzuka Kiba resulting in you're….new appearance?" Sarutobi said as he relit his pipe for the fourth time. Naruto sat across from him, his tail twitching occasionally out of boredom "That is correct old man, from what Broly-sama has told me it will require a month for me to learn how to use all of my new abilities and that it is best done away from….thieving eyes" The Hokage knew who the boy was talking about and couldn't help but agree "That still leaves you with an entire month before the final exam" The aged shinobi paused for a moment to think about things until an idea came to him, quickly taking out a pen and paper he wrote down something and handed it to Naruto "Tomorrow I want you to go to the hot springs and look of a long white haired man named Jiraiya. When you find him give that note to him" Naruto looked at the note and back to the Hokage "Why?" "Because he will train you for the first month, leaving you free to take the second for you're personal training" The Saiyan's eyes went blank for a moment as he conversed with the voices in his head
(Mindscape)
"That idea is agreeable" Broly said getting a nod from the Demon who also resided in the boy's mind "Agreed, from what I know about this Jiraiya he was the man who taught that damned 4th everything he knew" Both Naruto and Broly looked up at Fox as if it had grown a second head "What? An all powerful demon lord can't take interest in the world he lives in?" The two Saiyans continued to stare up at the demon until finally it was Naruto that broke the silence "There's nothing wrong with that…we're just shocked to hear you actually praising a human" "*cough*I'm not praising a human…I'm simply stating what I know about him" If it was possible Naruto and Broly knew the fox would be blushing from embarrassment "I don't really care if you were praising a human or not. Boy!" Naruto flinched when Broly snapped at him "Tell the old man that you except his proposal" "Yes Broly-sama, Kyuubi-sama" Naruto bowed to the Saiyan and demon as he slowly disappeared from his mind.
(back in the Hokage's office)
As Naruto came back to the world of consciousness he was met with the sight of Third Hokage reading a very familiar orange book. Sarutobi was so immersed in the book that he failed to notice that Naruto was awake until a cough drew his attention away from the novel. As he watched the man he saw as a grandfather try to hide the book, Naruto chuckled lightly "Hokage-sama I'm ashamed that you would read that in front of a minor" Naruto smirks as he pulls a blue book out of his pocket "The new copy is much better" The old man stared at the book as if it held the secrets to eternal youth "w-where did you get….that?" "Oh this? No idea, I get a new book every so often in the mail. Never knew who sent them but I'm not complaining" "Do you think I could borrow that when you're finished with it?" Naruto's energy suddenly flared and he cradled the book to his chest "Hell no you old mooch, get your own" Sarutobi matched Naruto's energy flare with one of his own "Listen here brat, I am you're Hokage and I am ordering you to give me that book or I will make you suffer" Slamming his fist down on the table Naruto stood up and glared at the aged leader "Bring it on, you old monkey. I'm more then powerful enough to beat you" "You're new power has gone to you're head boy, if you actually believe you have a chance against me" The hidden Anbu in the room were cowering in fear from the combined pressure of Sarutobi and Naruto's power levels. "Let's go old man" "ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS!" The jaws of the Anbu in the room hit the floor at the site of their Hokage actually competing in the childish game for a book "Rock beats scissors old man, the book stays with me" "Noooo" Anime style tears poured down the man's face at his defeat "Best two out of three?" The three other occupants in the from hit the floor at the Hokage's response.
(Later that day at Ichiraku Raman)
A very happy Naruto leaned back in his chair and belched loudly while an awe struck chef and his disgusted daughter stared at the mountain of raman bowls laid out on the counter in front of the Saiyan. Ayame slowly turned to her father, fearing that if she moved to quickly she would throw up after watching the sickening display she just witnessed. "He…he ate every ounce of raman in the shop. We are completely out of raman" The poor girl had to sit down as that statement finally hit home "That's never happened before, not even when…" Ayame lowered her voice and leaned into her father's ear "When we served both his parents at once" "I know what you mean. However one good thing will come from that" Teuchi said while eyeing the mountain of bowls "The money we'll make from this will more then make up for our supply losses ten times over" Ayame stared incredibly at her father who could so easily disregard the stomach churning sight for the option of large amounts of money. Completely oblivious to the discussion between two of his precious people, Naruto simply cracked his neck and turn to address the two "That…was the best meal I have eaten, Teuchi I bow to you're skill. Now how much do I owe you for this meal?" The brunette waitress had to smack her father in the head before he could inflate the already outlandish price "That will be 500.000 rou Naruto-kun!" Retrieving his frog wallet Naruto handed a wad of rou notes to the young woman and left the store.
The crowds in the street gave Naruto a wide berth as he walked back to his apartment, many of them heard about what he did to Inuzuka Kiba in the preliminaries, the others did it for the same old reason and the boy could easily hear the mutterings of 'demon' and 'finally showing it's true nature' but he ignored them all as they were of little threat, unlike the three drilling forms coming towards him. Grabbing the one coming from the left Naruto sent it into a wall, the right one he back handed into a fruit stand and the one coming down the centre Naruto jumped onto and kicked off it, sending it into the ground and catapulting the Saiyan towards the triple twisters owner. "Hello Hana" Standing before him was Inuzuka Hana, eldest child of Inuzuka Tsuma and older sister to Kiba. "So if you're here that means" Looking back Naruto sees that his three attackers were the Haimaru Sankyodai or Haimaru three brothers Hana's Nin dogs. Turning back to the female Chuunin the Saiyan quickly bent backwards to avoid the kunai blade that Hana swung at him. "Bastard! Because of you Kiba may never use his hands again" Explained the enraged Inuzuka as she continued to swing the knife at Naruto "The little fool got what he deserved, be lucky he isn't dead cause that's what I was aiming for" Hana froze, not wanting to believe what she heard. Behind Naruto the three dogs had recovered from their first failed assault and were getting ready to attack again. Seeing this Hana backed away from the boy in preparation to join her dogs in the attack. "what giving up already?" mocked Naruto, who was clearly not aware of what was going to happen however Broly was "Boy when I tell you to, you are to expel you're energy from the very core of you're body until if completely surrounds you" "What! Why?" "Do not question me, just do as I told you" "No I'm not giving up, I'm putting you in the hospital. GATSUUGA" Hana and the three dogs jumped forward and twisted their bodies until they turned into four swirling twisters of claws and chakra "
Do it now gaki!" Naruto nodded and focused on expanding his energy. What happened next would have caused the Hyuuga clan elders to have heart attacks. Energy exploded around Naruto forming a protective shell that repelled the four chakra twisters similarly to the Hyuuga clans Kaiten, only without the spinning. Hana slammed into a shop wall, cracking it, and slumped to the ground.
Walking up to her prone form, Naruto ran his tail up along Hana's face and down the centre of her body "Hmm strong, aggressive, fearless. Three things I like in a female" smirking at the sight of the Inuzuka heiress squirmed under his touch, Naruto squatted down until he was face to face with her "You and every other female I like shall be mine, and I will destroy anyone who tries to keep you all from me" By now the full moon was starting to raise and not wanting to find out what happens if he were to look at it, Naruto stole a kiss from Hana and vanished. "Why?" Hana tried to pull herself up but the pain in her back was to much and she collapse back to the ground "Why do I feel this way?" "because you know he's right" "What?!" startled by the voice Hana looked around for it's origin "hehehe don't bothered looking Hana-chan because you won't find me" "W-who are you?" "Who me? Why I am you're primal desire, every Inuzuka women has one. Oh and you also have a concussion so I could also be a figment of you're imagination hehe" "ugh" Hana welcomed the dark of unconsciousness when it came, as it removed her from the pain her body was in. The team of Anbu that arrived at the scene a few minutes later found Hana and brought her to the hospital, unaware that they were being watched the whole time. "Kyuubi what did you do to her?" "Nothing much, just used a little kitsune seduction to awaken something inside of her, something you will enjoy immensely kukuku" "great I've got a psychotic mass murderer and a perverted demon inside my head, do you think I should check myself into a mental home?" "no/no" "ok then"
(The next morning at Konoha hot springs)
The sounds of insects, birds, running water along and the soft spoken words and laughter of women permeated the area, only broken by the occasional giggle from a long white haired man, otherwise known as Jiraiya of the Sanin, that was facing one of the springs outer walls. A sudden ripple on the water alerted to the arrival of Uzumaki Naruto, dressed in a new pair of black pants and boots. Floating not an inch above the waters surface, his eyes scanned the immediate area until they came to rest on Jiraiya. "*sigh* why do I always get stuck with the perverts?" He quietly asked himself as he moved up behind the distracted Sanin. "hmm decisions, decisions? Should I get his attention, or blow his cover as a pervert" A look of pure evil appeared on Naruto's face as he reared his right leg back and, putting all his newfound strength into it, boots Jiraiya right in the ass sending him head first through the fence and into the women's spring.
(the following beating is so graphic that the censor monkeys have not allowed me to write it, sorry to disappoint anyone who was hoping to see Jiraiya getting beaten)
After dragging himself away from the enraged hoard of naked females Jiraiya goes in search of the one who kicked him and ruined his research. He found his attack sitting in the lotus position using his tail, which he had channelled chakra into, to balance on top of the water. "I see you have escaped you're punishment" the smirk on his face told that he had enjoyed the old man's suffering. "You brat, do you have any idea what you did?" Jiraiya was seething at the loss of his research. "Eh you're monthly attempt at getting an ever failing boner" The Gamma Sanin practically fossilized on the spot at Naruto's reply "I'm going to go out on a limp here and say that you are the one that the Hokage sent me to find, right?" "Gaki do you even know who I am?" Naruto opened his eyes and gave Jiraiya a bored look "No should I?"
A giant toad appeared in a cloud of smoke under Jiraiya and struck a pose with it's left front foot raised up, while Jiraiya himself posed as well "I am 's holy master Sennin, also know as Jiraiya the Gama Sennin, Remember it!"
Now it was Naruto's turn to be speechless. Standing before him was not only one of the legendary Sennin, Broly scoffed at the idea of them deserving to be called legendary, and the writer of his all time favorite series. Dropping to one knee in front of Jiraiya, bowing his head and thrusting his limited edition of Icha Icha paradise "My lord forgive me for not recognizing you. Please do me the honour of signing my book"
"Oh ho ho ho so you're a fan of my books are you. Well then I'm willing to forgive this transgression this time" Taking out a pen and taking the book from Naruto "So kid what's you're name" "Uzumaki Naruto" The pen and book hit the ground in Jiraiya's shock. Taking a good look at the boy before him, and except for the blue eyes and whisker marks, he could find nothing that showed this man as his godson "N-naruto? What happened to you?" "…you're the one you sends me those packages every month, aren't you?" Jiraiya nodded "Why?" "Because Kushina, you're mother, named me as you're godfather" Whatever Jiraiya was expecting, it wasn't the fist that crashed into his face braking his nose. Holding his nose to stem the bleeding "You hit me!" Naruto grabbed the front of Jiraiya's clothes and pulled him closer "I'll do more then hit you if you don't start talking Ero-Sennin" Waving his hands in front of him as a sign of acceptance "Alright alright. Sarutobi-sensei sent me out of the village to keep tabs on Orochimaru and other enemies of Konoha. I'm the villages primer spy master and I wouldn't of been able to keep my spy net work up and running if I had stayed here"
Naruto remained silent for a number of minutes before sighing and releasing Jiraiya. "Fine that's an acceptable answer" Naruto turned away from his godfather, his tail lazily swinging from side to side "For now I am willing to work with you because I respect you're strength, outside of being a warrior I knowing nothing about you. As for why I look like this, let's just say that my mother's legacy is finally shining through" Turning back around to face Jiraiya, Naruto gave his famous face splitter grin "So when do we start training Ero-Sensei"
A fist collided with the back of Naruto's head causing him to stumble and a large welt to appear "Ow what was that for Ero-Sennin" Complained the Saiyan/Shinobi hybrid as he rubbed his head "Stop calling me that Gaki, Now get over here" Biting his thumb and spreading some blood across his palm, Jiraiya went through a series of hand signs and slammed the palm down on the ground. In a cloud of smoke the same toad from earlier reappeared this time with a large scroll in it's mouth. Taking the scroll from the toads mouth, Naruto unrolled it on the ground "This is the contract with the toads that has been passed down through many generations. You write your name in blood, and under that you press your finger-print in blood" Naruto did as he was instructed "Then when you want to call them, produce chakra and place down the hand you signed the contract with. The hand seals are 'Boar, Dog, Bird, Monkey, Sheep'" "Wait before I do this there is something I need to you look at" "Oh yeah. And what's that?" Jiraiya watched as Naruto channelled his chakra and what the Gamma Sennin saw he did not look happy about. Getting down to have a closer look at the Kyuubi's seal, Jiraiya was even more unhappy "This is clearly Orochimaru's work. That fork tongued traitor never was any good with seals, but putting on uneven seal over an even one is just idiotic" Five flaming symbols appeared on Jiraiya's fingers "Hey kid lift you're arms" Naruto did so "Gogyo Kaiin" Jiraiya slammed his hand into the seal, releasing it, fixing it and causing Naruto a great deal of pain. "You old bastard, THAT HURT!"
Chakra exploded upwards in a great pillar from Naruto's body, his hair stood on end and if Jiraiya was seeing right, then the hair on Naruto's tail and head flashed gold along with his blue eyes changing to teal. The ground cracked and lifted into the air. Jiraiya was actually afraid of what he saw and then it stopped, all the power just vanish and Naruto's hair and eyes returned to normal. "G-gaki what the hell was that! that definitely wasn't the fox's power, that was something entirely different. Sarutobi-sensei better have a good explanation for this" Naruto, even though he was winded by the power explosion, looked smug at Jiraiya's shock and awe. "I told you…that was my mother's….legacy"
