Hey. So everyone, ok majority, enjoyed the last chapter quite a bit. Thanks. Anyway, hope you enjoy the chapter as much as the previous one. Also, sorry for taking a while to make this chapter, had a very… Irritating… Week which consisted of my boss screwing me over by constantly giving me the wrong pay, which now equals to 1.5 thousand dollars he now owes me, ass-hat won't probably pay me even now after harping on about it for over many weeks.
That was the main reason for me taking a while, but aside from that I had my birthday on the 9th and yeah… It was distracting and all. Anyway, sorry for how my life seems to just enjoy screwing my fanfictions.
1: Is Naruto being turned into a cliché drama character?
A: No. While I may have made Minato give Naruto a mandatory mission which is mostly payback for saying that thing to his daughter, Naruto won't ever become a cliché drama character. It's Naruto, my version of Naruto, who is cunning and intelligent and uses his wits and equipment to live. But that also doesn't mean a good laugh can come from Naruto's unfortunate events.
2: Will Kurama use Naruto's mindscape as a vacation place of sorts?
A: Ok, so basically, Kurama's main consciousness likes to reside in Naruto's mindscape while Kurama's body, chakra and subconscious hangs out within both Mito and Kasumi's bodies. So Kurama's actual consciousness likes Naruto's mindscape for the peace and stuff, so he lets his mind sit there instead of his host's mindscapes. But he can still interact with the two while hanging out with Naruto.
3: Does the Kurama within Kasumi only have the link or both?
A: Both.
4: How will Naruto treat his teammates when he sees them?
A: All is not what it seems to be. And in a ninja world, the possibilities are as numerous as they are endless.
5: Will there still be an invasion seeing as how there are 5 kage there?
A: Read and find out.
6: Was Naruto's name deliberately left off the battle pamphlet?
A: No. Naruto's name wasn't on the pamphlet because he had originally lost against team 7 during the preliminaries. Because of this, Naruto wasn't even meant to participate in the finals. However, because Dosu had not arrived, the five kage had decided to give him another shot at the chunin exams as they wanted to see more of him.

Silence was the only thing Naruto heard as he stared towards the red haired genin that had stood across from him in silence.
He didn't exactly know what to do since this genin had just up and appeared in front of him after his battle with the so called "Uchiha prodigy" not a few seconds ago.
However, as he appeared, he hadn't said anything at all, just stared at him with a blank gaze.
(Kage booth.)
Minato turned his head towards the Kazekage with a raised eyebrow before sending his attention back towards the arena.
"Kazekage-sama. May I ask why your son just appeared in the arena just now? Would there be a reason for this?" Asked Minato with a curious tone permitting through the room as the Kazekage simply gave a small chuckle.
"My apologies Hokage-sama. My son Garra just can't stop himself from wanting to face the strongest opponent he can find. It for some reason proves his existence within the world when he… Battles strong opponents… If I may Hokage-sama… Can we have my son Garra battle that Naruto boy now? And seeing as how we already changed a good deal of the rules with Naruto-san's re-entry, I won't believe the crowd would care about seeing him fight again-" However, before the Kazekage could finish, the shouts of members within the Uchiha clan soon broke through the arena silence as they finally registered what had happened.
"You cheat! How dare you cheat against the mighty Uchiha clan you commoner!"
"I dare you to battle us Uchiha fairly!"
"My sharingan will send you to hell you bastard!"
"If I find you in the alleyway you better pray for your life!"
"People call us thieves for stealing common jutsu! You are worse than a thief for stealing hokage-sama's legendary jutsu!"
The Kazekage seemed to chuckle slightly before returning to his conversation with the hokage.
"- And seeing as how loud the crowd is getting, I'm sure a fight would help change the anger against poor Naruto-san into cheers of excitement and entertainment. Anyone else agree with me?" Asked the Kazekage with a grin hidden behind his face cloth.
The other three kage's gave each other a small glance before Ay spoke up.
"He does make a small point… And I wouldn't mind watching the black haired brat continue fighting on. It would make the exam a bit more interesting." Muttered Ay with a huff while internally giving a narrowed glare towards the black haired teen down below.
"It would also give me some more information to place in the bingo book about the brat. From what I see, he not only healed the upper part of his chest, but also had time to train himself in-between the month break issued. He may have a possible Bloodline to heal wounds faster… And kumo could definitely benefit from having a gene like that within its village… If not… One less potential future S-class enemy." Thought Ay with a blank stare.
Unknown to him, the Tsuchikage Onoki had a similar thought as he gave a nod towards the Kazekage.
Mei however seemed to be against it as she gaze the black haired teen a small narrowed stare.
"While it would be different and interesting to watch Naruto-san battle even more, if you call the last fight between the Uchiha a fight at all, it wouldn't be all that fair for the child to have a battle straight after he already had one." Replied Mei as she stared towards the protector of the event trying to calm the crowd, mainly the Uchiha there, down as Naruto and Garra simply stared at each other without moving a single inch.
Minato seemed to grit his teeth slightly before releasing a small sigh.
He wouldn't lie, he also had been curious about Naruto's abilities since the month break, which he knew was the reason for the Raikage and Tsuchikage to ask for Naruto to continue in battling.
Either way, as a leader of his village, not knowing what one of his own Genin's skills were was a very bad thing… But showing those skills to his competitors was also a bad thing…
But from what he saw… He knew Naruto would be fine. Even if his enemies seemed to have some basic knowledge on him.
Releasing a small sigh, Minato gave one of his anbu a small nod.
"Neko. Tell Genma that the next match will be Naruto vs Sabaku no Garra." Spoke the fourth Hokage, gaining a small nod from the anbu, causing her long purple hair to sway slightly before she disappeared in a plump of smoke, only to re-appear next to Genma and whisper into his ear.
Genma giving a nod, the anbu disappeared with a plump of smoke once more before appearing besides the hokage as if she hadn't moved in the first place.
Sitting down with his hands interlocked and covering his lower mouth, Minato couldn't help but mutter a quick "Let's see what you got Naruto." Before focusing his eyes on the black haired teen.
(Arena Floor.)
Having the Neko anbu disappear a few moments after telling him of his orders, Genma brought his hand up to his face before giving a small cough, which in turn then caught the attention of everyone with the stadium.
"As a special request from the Kazekage, which was then seconded by both the Tsuchikage and Raikage, Genin Naruto will now battle against the son of the fourth Kazekage!" Shouted Genma, causing the crowd to roar with excitement, aside from the Uchiha of course, before watching Genma raise his hand up into the air.
(With the other Genin.)
Kasumi Uzumaki Namikaze was pissed. Not just slightly pissed, full blown Uzumaki pissed as she stared at the black haired teen known as Naruto, the one who had been defeated against her team in the preliminaries just over a month ago.
Why was her father letting the black haired teen compete? Hell, why was the other kage's so…. Interested in him? He was just another shinobi, a civilian one at that.
Sure he had Yamato-sensei train him before he was requested to help her and Mito with their own bijuu control training, but that was it. Who cared if a genin did a few B-rank missions and all? She and her team had completed an A-rank not even a month into their lives as genin.
But… This genin… Irritated her beyond measure… And she didn't know why! Why was he so irritating? Why did he just seem so…
And that was it. There wasn't a word to describe him in her mind…
And that pissed her off Dattebane!
"Nee-chan. You got an idea how the dobe beat Sasuke-kun? I mean, he did get his ass beaten by us in the preliminaries right?" Asked Mito as she placed herself besides her minute older sister while moving a strand of long red hair behind her ears as she gazed towards the black haired teen in the arena.
Kasumi simply blew some air upwards, sending some of the hair covering her left eye up slightly before it feel down back into place.
However, before she could comment, a bored tone joined in on their conversation.
"I honestly don't understand your reasoning's. From what I saw, it was just that Naruto had been over-run by two jinchuuriki's and an Uchiha with their sharingan activated. Man it was such a drag to watch. Troublesome if you ask me." Muttered Shikamaru as he looked up towards the sky where he watched a lone cloud drifting by in peace.
Kasumi gave a huff along with Mito.
"That was only because he insulted that my breasts were stolen from Tsunade's." Replied Kasumi as she turned her head away from the arena to glare at Shikamaru, who, had completely ignored her.
Mito gave a small nod in agreement to her sister's statement. The Baka shouldn't have said that.
"Yeah! The dobe should have easily lost to Sasuke-kun! It was a fluke, right Mito?" Asked Ino as she appeared behind the three genin, causing the only male of the group to mutter "troublesome" before falling silent once more.
Mito gave the blond Yamanaka a small nod before noticing Sasuke returning from the medical section.
Giving a small wave and smile, Mito welcomed the now brooding Uchiha.
"Hey Sasuke-kun! Unlucky fight, the dobe must have slipped you something before your fight." Spoke Mito, getting a nod from Ino as the two of them stood in front of Sasuke, who, had simply gave the two of them, more Ino than Mito, an irritated stare.
"The dobe couldn't have done that since he wasn't even supposed to fight… But the dobe is going to pay for what he did to me… I swear it on the Uchiha clan name." Muttered Sasuke with a glare directed towards the arena floor.
Because of this he missed Ino gushing over how cool her "Sasuke-kun" is while Mito held a small sweat-drop on her forehead.
Sure she had known Sasuke since both she and Kasumi were kids, but even she got irritated from his "Emo-mode level 2" as Kasumi likes to put it after a while.
Giving the black haired teen a wave, Mito sat next to her sister, who had once more taken to arguing with Shikamaru about Naruto.
"I'm just saying. The dobe couldn't have beaten Sasuke, especially since he had Itachi Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha and even Kakashi-sensei and probably more of his family training him in Nin, gen and taijutsu. Hell, I've seen him use a sword a few times. From what I got, the Naruto guy only got his wires, a few jutsu's and a mouth on him. There isn't any way that a mediocre shinobi could beat a teammate of mine." Argued Kasumi as he pointed towards the black haired teen in the arena once more, only to watch as he gave her, along with everyone in their general direction, a blank stare as he motioned towards his ears.
This seemed to give Shikamaru a small grin as he pointed towards Naruto once more.
"Troublesome red-eyed teen isn't mediocre as you put it." Returned Shikamaru with a small grin as he focused his attention back towards the sky, much to Kasumi's irritation.
(Hyuga area.)
"Hinata. Hanabi. Remember what I told you. Dissect the taijutsu styles of all your enemies so that you may understand the basis of how they move. You never know when an ally can become a possible enem-" "Hiashi Hyuga. Leave our daughters alone so they can enjoy the match." Cut in a stern tone of a woman as the Hyuga head fell silent for a few moments.
The man in question had long straight black hair along with the pale lavender eyes of his clan along with a standard long sleeve kimono hadori combination with the main colour being a deep shade of brown, the hadori, and the kimono underneath being a similar pale lavender to that of his eyes. This was Hiashi Hyuga, the head of the Hyuga clan.
Besides him sat Hitomi Hyuga, the wife of the clan head Hiashi Hyuga.
Hitomi had pale blue straight hair that easily cascaded down towards her lower back with the similar pale lavender eyes of her clan. However, instead of a hadori and kimono crossover, Hitomi decided to go towards the event with just a pale lavender Kimono highlighted by a similar pale blue bird like design that flew throughout the entire kimono.
All in all, most people would say that Hinata was a smaller version of Hitomi, and most wouldn't be wrong as the two were nearly identical in their appearance.
Although, there was the small noticeable changes that the two had, but it took someone who was paying attention to notice.
Hinata gave a mental sigh of relief when she heard her father become silent, most likely fearing her mother as she was one of the only people within the world who had complete control over her father, as such, she was thankful for her mother.
Hanabi however just huffed. She actually enjoyed her father's advice thank you very much!
However, the relief Hinata had felt instantly washed away when she felt her mother's lips sitting beside her left ear.
"So is that the boy that's caught your attention Hinata-chan?" Whispered Hitomi with a grin as she could feel her daughters face heat up slightly before cooling off just as fast as the heat had appeared.
Hinata simply chose to ignore her mother as she turned her attention back towards one of the most interesting people in the village.
That interesting person just had to be the genin Naruto.
She wouldn't admit it to anyone, but she may, and that's a big MAY have gotten some feelings for the black haired teen after he had single handily saved their whole squad way back before the chunin exams.
So, with the intent of thanking him properly, Hinata had, after the mission, had taken to look for him. However, he was nearly impossible to find, for reasoning being previously unknown to her, she found out he's a training nut.
However, when she had finally managed to find him, the black haired teen had been helping out around the local orphanage the day she found him.
So, she did what any respectable person would do in this situation.
She walked up to him expecting him to react to her presence.
She was sorely mistaken when the black haired teen blew her off in favour of helping the orphanage build a larger shed so that there could be more sports equipment for the kids.
After that little event, Hinata had been determined to get her fellow teen to react to her presence as a respectable figure.
It never happened as Naruto didn't for all care about anyone aside from the hokage as they did have unlimited power within their village.
Either way, during her time attempting to get the teen to recognise her as an heiress, she may have developed a… childish crush… That hadn't gone away after a few months…
It would go away, she knew it would.
(Arena.)
Genma gave the two shinobi a small narrowed look before releasing a sigh.
"Are you sure you want to battle?" Asked Genma, directing his attention towards Naruto, who, had taken to grin at him with a cheeky smile.
"Bring it." Replied Naruto, causing the protector to raising his hand up towards the sky.
"Then… Fight!" Shouted Genma as he slashed his hand down to the ground.
And that's it. Sorry, but you saw the reasoning's at the top. Anyway, hope you all enjoyed the fic and I will see you all later.
