Chapter 2
Naruto smiled as he landed in outside the window of the Hokage's office and entered precisely at noon. The Hokage was there talking to a man, by the sound of voice it was a man anyway, who was dressed in a plain white robe with a white mask. Neither the Hokage nor the man seem too noticed as Naruto slipped into the room and stood waiting for one of them to notice him.
It was barely a three seconds though, before the Hokage spoke to Naruto, "Well it seems you are perfectly on time. But where is the rest of your team?"
"Waiting for me to call them in," Naruto answered simply. Today he was wearing a black robe that had slits in the back for his wings. It was to hide any weapon he was carrying, that and Mavis insisted that they all wear the same thing today. Though he was unsure how many would actually follow this idea as Holly if she showed up and Tinkerbell would often choose their own clothes before anything else.
"I see," The Hokage said nodding before turning to look at Naruto fully, "Anyway Naruto, here is the man who will be testing your team."
"One person?" Naruto asked gaining a slight look of surprise, "You really think my team is that weak?"
"He is the captain of part of the Anbu forces. He should be a good test of you and your team's skills," The Hokage answered.
"Okay don't say I did not warn you though," Naruto said resisting the urge to roll his eyes.
"Do not underestimate me," The Anbu Commander said looking at Naruto.
"I am not, but I am sure I know of at least five of us who could probably take you on without any assistance, including myself," Naruto said not boasting so much as it was likely very true.
"We shall see," The Anbu Commander said turning back to the Hokage.
The Hokage sighed lightly to himself; this was going to be interesting to say the least. Motioning the two to follow him, he led them out the window and onto a roof top path towards the training grounds. The Anbu followed leaping from roof to roof while Naruto took the air path flying not far behind keeping up with ease. Soon they reached their destination, Training Ground Eight.
Naruto landed by the Hokage noticing there were other people around. Looking at the Hokage he asked, "And who might these people be?"
"Those three over there are my advisers Danzo, Homura, and Koharu. The other four adults are the current Jonin leaders and the twelve young ones are their current three man genin squads. If you are wondering why they are here, well I felt it would be a good teaching tool for them to see that there are many out there they can still learn from," The Hokage said.
Naruto nodded glancing at the group of nineteen. The three advisers where rather old but he could tell they were all former ninja as just by the way they carried themselves. The Jonin all were wearing the basic vests with only one looking truly different from the others, that being the female of the Jonin group. The genin ninja Naruto noticed were watching him some with wonder, other with indifference, though he recognized one. It was Hinata, or at least he thought it was Hinata, was looking at him with something of slight confusion.
Naruto tapped a button on the body suit he was wearing giving out the signal for the team to move in on his current location. Looking around he noticed the area had only a few trees around a big grass field. This allowed for easy viewing by the spectators but was not so good for stealth combat.
The Hokage soon spoke again, "So Naruto do you want to get started or wait for your team first?"
"Oh we can start whenever you want," Naruto said turning and smiling as he looked at the Anbu.
"I thought you worked with a team?" The Anbu asked shifting into a stance as the Hokage jumped back in case this fight started without warning.
"I do, but each member of a team must sometimes also work as a lone unit," Naruto said off handily.
"I understand that rather well," The Anbu said before vanishing.
Naruto yawned lazily as he ducked a kick aimed for his head, then a few punches aimed for torso. Naruto then grabbed the next punch and used the Ninja's own weight and threw him over his shoulder towards a tree. The Commander was able to right himself in midair landing safely and surprisingly sticking to the side of the tree. Naruto smirked looking at him barely even affected by the speed of the small bout.
"Well Naruto. I will give it to you that your skills are well worth your own praise, not many can boast that speed at such a young age," The Anbu said. As the Anbu spoke, he wove his hands through a few jutsu using his robe to hide the movement of his hands.
"I was trained by the best, to be the best," Naruto said.
Then without warning another Anbu appeared and moved to strike Naruto down in a single blow. Only it froze stock still half way through the movement, held in place by a weird purple glowing mist. Then next to Naruto a bat flew in and changed revealing a young lady wearing black robe just like Naruto. She smiled at him showing pointed hangs before she spoke.
"Well Naruto it seems you are getting a jump on our test target without even bugging for back up, shame on you," She said shaking her head and fake annoyance.
"Come on Mavis, you know you would have done the same if it had been you," Naruto said.
"Fair point, now pay attention. I doubt Tinkerbell would be happy if you got beaten for making a dumb move," Mavis said as she flicked her hand sending the second Anbu into a tree.
The Anbu collided and burst into smoke on impacted. But as this happened two more Anbu appeared out of nowhere from underground. Naruto and Mavis were at once stuck in close combat but soon after a few moments of battle both Mavis and Naruto were able to send both of the Anbu flying with a throw. As the two new Anbu landed a bolt of light struck both of them causing them to disappear in a burst of smoke again.
"Well it seems Holly made it back in time," Naruto said happily having noticed the bolts.
"You really think she would miss a chance like this?" Mavis asked.
"No, I didn't," Naruto said as they looked at the Anbu Commander again.
"So now it is three on one," He said walking down from his spot on the three.
"No, it is four on one," A voice said behind him as a heard an even weirder noise.
Using a replacement Jutsu the Anbu disappeared from his spot as a log reappeared and was cut into three pieces by beams of light. The Anbu reappeared, standing on top of a nearby tree and looked to where he had been standing and blinked in surprise. Whereas the first two he had been fighting looked normal this person was not. For one her skin was a shade of light orange, with white markings around her face. Her hair looked like horns bundled together on either side of her body handing down to her belly. In her hands were two metal tubes from each extending a blade of green light about three foot long each.
"Somehow I don't think I would be alive if those hit," The Anbu said to himself.
He was not able to keep along this line of thought for long as Naruto and Mavis appeared behind him. With a spinning kick they sent him off the tree and into the ground hard. The new comer rushed at him drawing her blades along the ground scorching it as she went. As she drew close to him to finish the fight he was able to recover and roll out of the way. Spinning in the air he was suddenly blasted by another bolt of light and his world went dark.
The Anbu Commander fell to the ground out cold as Naruto walked over and smirked checking to see if he was indeed out cold. Nodding to himself he waved at the new comer, "Hi Ahsoka! Nice to see you could be here."
"It was my pleasure," Ahsoka said deactivating the blades and returning them to her side underneath the cloak.
Naruto smiled and gave her a hug as another figure appeared, shimmering into view. Unlike the rest she had on a silver body suit and helmet that covered her head completely and like Naruto she had wings on her back.
Naruto smiled waving at her, "hi Holly glad to see you as well."
"Yes it is, but that was rather boring you know," Holly said shouldering a rather long barreled gun.
Naruto shrugged as he turned to the Hokage, "So you going to actually give us a proper work out, or is that all the good our tester really is?"
"I must say I am rather surprise you could take on and defeat an Anbu Commander without injury. Clearly I have underestimated you," The Hokage said.
"That and I don't think your Commander thought we were much of a threat to begin with," Naruto said stretching.
"I agree as such, Kakashi, Guy, Asuma, and Kurenai I would like you to finish the test." The Hokage said turning and giving the four Jonin and order.
Naruto at once smirked, "Now this is more like it. Hermione, Tinkerbell, get down here!"
Out of the sky dropped two females, one wearing a black robe, while the other was wearing green clothes with the cloth having a very leaf like appearance. Each of them stood a little taller than anyone else in their group so far, and each had an air of power about them. They both smiled as they drew their own weapons of choice, Hermione her staff, Tinkerbell a set of daggers.
"Now you shall take us all on," Naruto said as he drew from his belt on his own body suit a pistol and a short bladed sword. Holly followed suit holstering the rifle on her back before pulling out two pistols as she started hovering a foot above the ground barely putting her head level with Naruto thanks to her short height.
"Wasn't there one more of you," The Hokage asked looking at the group.
"Yes, but it would not do for a thief /assassin to be know before they struck," Naruto said smiling.
"Okay, then begin," The Hokage said.
