Chapter 2: The Third Test and Back to Konoha!
"So, your final test will be proctored by our resident mechanic and boss, Jacob Fazbear. He will probably have you fix something, either Foxy or one of the older animatronics, maybe The Mangle. I don't know." Mike said, scratching his chin. "Alright, then, I'm not a master with mechanics, but I have had to fix some of the facilities in my apartment before… so it shouldn't be too big of a problem." Naruto said. "*YAWN* Just.. give me about 3 hours... to sleep… *GHAAAA… phew.*" Mike facefaulted as Naruto fell asleep, although he didn't blame the kid. "G'night, kiddo, and remember, sweet dreams are overrated."

"Hey, Naru! Wake up, time for your next test!" Mr. Fazbear said, gently prodding him "*YAWN* Time to get up already? You… *Yawn*... must be Fazbear-san." Naruto said, obviously tired. "Well, I don't want you working on an empty stomach. C'mon, Chica's making pizza." "What's pizza?" That question stopped Jacob in his tracks, and he grabbed Naruto's hand. "Pizza is one of the foods of the gods, alongside burgers, ramen, and CAKE!" "O-okay then, just slow DOWN!"
(In the kitchen)
"Wow, this is actually pretty good!" Naruto said, tearing into a large pepperoni and sausage pizza. "Good to hear!" Jacob said, a smile shining on his face. "I NEED to learn how to cook someday. It might save my life, especially if I learn to make this!" Naruto declared, rising out of his seat. "Alright then, but first, you need to pass my test. Follow me!" Naruto was then taken to Pirate's cove, where Foxy and another animatronic where deactivated next to a box of costume and endoskeleton parts. "Your mission is to repair these two animatronics. Foxy just needs his costume repaired, but you will have to rebuild Mangle here from the ground up. You have until the end of the day. Good luck."

"... And with that, Foxy has been fixed. Might as well to activate him now…" Naruto pondered. He turned the robotic fox on, and was greeted with a gruff voice. "YA-HAR! Are ya the one who fixed me, little man?" Foxy asked, sounding extremely glad. "Yes sir, Cap'in! My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I would like your help fixing your first mate, Mangle!" He said, pointing to the broken white fox. "Of course, matey! I would be honored to help ye!" Foxy roared, grinning like a madman...er...fox. 'Wow, he and Lee would get along great.'
(Another 3 hours later)
"Wow, kid, color me surprised. Not only did you fix Foxy, you got him to help you fix Mangle! Needless to say, you passed my test! Congratulations, you now get to sign the Animatronic Summoning contract, and get to be trained by me, Mike, and Vincent!" Naruto promptly started to bounce around in excitement. "YES, SOMEONE'S FINALLY GOING TO TEACH ME!"
(3 years later [A.N.: I don't do training montages])
Naruto exits the old, decrepit building, wearing a purple hoodie and a pair of blue jeans. He has two kitchen knives in custom holsters on the sides of his hips, and a broadsword on his back. "Looks like it's time to go back, Fredbear." He said to the golden teddy bear tattooed on the back of his right hand, signifying his status as the Animatronic Sage. "Let's go!" He said as he started freerunning to Konoha.
(In the Hokage's office)
"*Sigh* Another boring day, things have really gotten stale ever since the villagers ran Naruto out of the village." Hiruzen said, looking at one of the pictures of him and Naruto. "Well, it's good to hear that at least one person missed me. How ya doing, Jiji?" Naruto said, as he had come in through the window. "GACK!" "Dammit, I gave him a heart attack! Raiton: Jumpstart!" Naruto's hands were covered in electricity, and he pressed them to the old man's heart. "C'mon, c'mon! Don't die on me, Oji-san!"
(5 minutes of CPR later)
"Thank Kami, you're back! Sorry about that." Naruto said, scratching the back of his head. "What was that jutsu, Naruto?" The Hokage said, questioning why the young man knew a lightning jutsu. "That's part of my new taijutsu style, the Kikaiken (Mechanical Fist). I am the first and so far only person to know the style. Oh! And I got a summoning contract! I'm a sage now!" Sarutobi's jaw dropped, which made the pipe in his mouth fall to the ground. "... You're kidding." "Nope! Here, let me show you! Summoning Jutsu: Puppet!" A large puff of smoke was made beside Naruto, and when it cleared, a large figure in a black button-up suit wearing a mask made to look like a crying clown was revealed. The figure had large hands and legs that just... end. He did not have feet, and seemed to float over the ground. "Oji-san, meet Papettobosu, the boss of the Animatronic Summoning Clan! Puppet-sama, this is The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, my honorary Oji-san!"
The Puppet then looked at the Hokage, before his mask adopted a wide grin. "So, you are young Naruto's grandfather figure, it is a pleasure to meet you. I am Papettobosu, as the boy has named me, but you can also call me The Puppet, The Marionette, or just Puppet." He said, holding out his hand. "Nice to meet you, Puppet-sama. Tell me, is Naruto really a sage of your clan?" Hiruzen asked curiously. "Why, yes, yes he is. We wouldn't have given him a bloodline if he wasn't our first sage, now would we?" "He has a bloodline!?" "Yeah, my bones are made of metal now, and my skin is as durable as plastic! I'm even fire- and lightning-resistant!" Naruto said, punching himself to prove his point. "See, not even a bruise! I also have three unique jutsu elements! They are Akumuton (Nightmare style), Sekyuton (Security style), and Tekuton (Tech style). " "That's… quite impressive. You said Naruto was your first sage, Puppet-sama?" "Yes. Sit down, Hokage-san, this will be a long story."
(30 minutes later)
"Wow, that's sounds… almost unbelievable." "I know, right?" Naruto exclaimed. "By the way, Naruto, what's with the sword? It's not like any blade I've ever seen." Hiruzen stated. "Oh, this is a broadsword specifically designed for my kenjutsu style, the Kiraburedo (Killer Blade). It's name is Burraddoejji (Bloodedge), and it is my best weapon." "Alright then, so, what will you do now, Naruto?" "I would like to register for the Ninja corps, AND I would like to take a test to go straight into them." He said, a confident smirk on his face. "Well, if you're sure… I'll have you face a gennin team as your test, okay?" "Alright then."
