After the incident, Naruto and Iruka made their way to the Hokage to report the traitorous actions of Mizuki and his death, to which Iruka and the Third comforted Naruto because even if it's for good reason, the first kill -for a 12 year old no less- isn't always emotionally easy to handle.
Naruto however was quick to get over it since Mizuki was after all, a bastard. He had also seen much death in Ace's memories
"Naruto, first thing I would like to say, is congratulations on graduating." Hiruzen smiled warmly at Naruto as said blonde grinned back at him with a thumbs up.
"So Naruto, would you mind telling me and Iruka what exactly you learned from the scroll to be able to perform such astounding nature manipulation?"
Naruto kept silent for a few minutes, unsure if the Third or Iruka would believe him. "Well Jiji, I didn't really learn anything from the scroll. I ate a Devil Fruit. The Mera Mera No Mi."
Iruka had a look of confusion on his face but Hiruzen looked shocked, before he sighed. "Your the third one to find and eat a Devil's Fruit." He said causing Naruto's eyes widened.
"A Devil Fruit is a special kind of fruit that gives the eater power in exchange for being unable to swim. At least, from my knowledge." Hiruzen explained to Iruka.
"Jiji! Who were the other two? Which fruits did they eat?" Naruto asked. Hiruzen only shook his head as he chuckled. "That's not my place to tell."
Hiruzen laced his fingers together and placed his elbows on the office desk.
"This will be troublesome to deal with. Once the council catches word of this then they'll most likely try to have you go through CRA." Hiruzen sweatdropped while Iruka gaped.
Naruto only tilted his head in confusion. "What's CRA Jiji?"
Hiruzen released a tired sigh with a trace of amusement. "CRA is the Clan Restoration Act Naruto. They'll have you make a clan thinking the power of the Mera Mera No Mi can be a potential bloodline for future generations."
Naruto blinked once, once more, and then once again then his cheeks burned almost as bright as his flames "EEEEHHHH!?!?"
'Make a clan... Wouldn't that mean...' He shook his head of the thoughts that threatened to invade his mind. He wouldn't become a perverted old man like Jiji, or Iruka. He wouldn't log damn it! He swore to the log he wouldn't!
"Then tell em to buzz off Jiji! Besides, This power isn't a bloodlime or whatever the hell you call it. Once the user dies, the fruit will reappear somewhere else in the world."
Hiruzen chuckled. "Yes I know. Naruto...you saw something after you ate the fruit didn't you?" He asked knowingly.
The blone knucklehead started to grow nervous. Should he tell Jiji and Iruka? Maybe he should... They were after all the only two people who cared. "Jiji... Can we have some privacy before we speak about this?"
Honoring Naruto's request, Hiruzen snapped his fingers and the Anbu hidden in the room disappeared and Hiruzen set up a privacy seal so nobody could hear anything that is said in the office.
"I...I saw the life of the last user of the Mera Mera No Mi."

After the conversation in the Hokage's office, Iruka and Naruto left to go get some Ichiraku's. Naruto ate bowl after bowl as Iruka cried anime tears for his wallet. Why does he do this to himself?
"Iruka sensei..." Hearing his name being called, Iruka turned his head to look at Naruto and was surprised to see a deadly serious look on his face.
"Was it...good that I was born?" Iruka widened his eyes at the question and looked at Naruto in disbelief. Just as he was about to say of course it was good he stopped himself. This wasn't the time to give the boy a careless answer. 'Naruto has already suffered enough because of my Irresponsibility.' He thought while shaking his head.
"I don't know..." Naruto slumped his shoulders at that.
"...However, whether it was good you were born or not, I'm truly happy you were. I'm sure Hokage-sama is happy about it as well." Iruka admitted with a smile.
Naruto looked at Iruka and couldn't keep the small smile away from his face. Although it wasn't the answer he was looking for, he was grateful for Iruka's words none the less. "Thanks Iruka-sensei."
After finally announcing that he could eat no more, he and Iruka bid each other goodbye and parted ways. However, Naruto didn't go home. He went to look for different shops for supplies and to buy another set of clothes. He didn't have anything against his current set of clothes, they were sexy and he knew it! There were just too many critics.
He didn't want to always be the orange goofball or the dead last... Ok he was still gonna wear orange. After looking through Ace's life, he decided he wanted to become someone who could be worthy of using the Mera Mera No Mi. Ace had become a figure he started to look up to. A goal. Something he wanted to surpass. He had to drop the mask and stop acting like the idiot everyone thought he was if he planned on becoming Hokage and surpassing Ace.
First stop was the weapon shop. He wasn't the best in taijutsu or using any weaponry, and that would need to change.
"Welcome to the weapon's shop." A voice called out from behind the counter. It was a girl dressed in a chinese fashion with two buns as her hair. On her forehead was Konoha's Hitai-ate. When she saw who came into the shop, she blinked.
"Oh, it's you. The most popular kid in the village." She said sarcastically and Naruto braced himself for any insults to come. He was use to it after all.
"I gotta say, great paint job back on the hokage stone faces." She snickered while Naruto blinked before grinning. "Finally someone who can appreciate art when they see it dattebayo!"
After conversing with the surprisingly kind girl, Naruto went off to look for a weapon that could fit his style. "Hmmm... A sword? No. What about those guns I saw when Ace was a pirate. Come to think of it why don't we have the stuff Ace's time had. A gun would be so useful to ninjas. Scratch that, Jiji can throw even faster then a gun can shoot so maybe other ninja can too. What about gauntlets? Naw. What's this?"
It wasn't really fancy or anything like that. It was a simple red bo staff. Not really that long. Maybe about 2 or 3 feet in length.
"Ah that is actually a powerful weapon when used right." Naruto turned around to see Tenten, the girl he was talking to, walk up to him.
"Whaddya mean? It doesn't even have that much reach." Naruto asked in confusion while Tenten only grinned. "That's what you think." She said before walking up to the bo staff and picking it up. "Power pole extend!" And just like that the staff glowed and extended from the floor to the ceiling of the shop!
"Woah! That's awesome!" Naruto looked at the staff in awe. The pole shrunk back down to size and Tenten could be seen with a small bead of sweat on her face. "Yeah it is. It's called the Power Pole, but nobody can actually use it since extending it takes up chakra. To keep up the extension you need to keep a constant flow of chakra between the pole and yourself. It takes alot of chakra to use." She explained as she put the pole back on the shelf.
At least she would've if Naruto hadn't snatched it from her hand. Naruto twirled the staff around with a grin on his face. "Sounds like my kind of weapon dattebayo!" He exclaimed with a grin. "How long can it extend?" He asked.
"You could go to the moon if you had the chakra for it." She explained with a shocked tone in her voice. "You plan on buying it!? People have lost their lives because of that thing you know! There's only one of it's kind so lots of ninja's came to buy it, but because they didn't have enough chakra to give, they lost their lives to chakra exhaustion! You'll die using that thing if you don't have the chakra needed to use it!" She scolded.
"That's exactly why it's my kind of weapon." Naruto replied, grinning ferally.
Tenten could only sigh as she shook her head. "Fine. But don't say I didn't warn you." Naruto only waved off her warning. "Yeah yeah thanks for worrying." He said.
After paying for the Power Pole, he put it in it's holster and strapped it to his back. "Alright! Now it's time for some clothes I guess." He walked into the nearest clothes store, he started looking for clothes, ignoring the glare he got from the cashier.
After searching around, something caught his eye and he grinned.
Timeskip
The class was chattering away excitedly since they had just graduated became ninjas! It was awesome! Now they would get to go on actual missions and the like. The chatter stop and the class turned their heads curiously to the door when they heard it slam open.
There standing by the door with a tired look on his face was Naruto Uzumaki. But much to the classes surprise he actually didn't dress like an...an idiot.
(http/yukihyo./art/Naruto-142937851 copy that link.)
Naruto walked up the to the nearest seat which so happened to be the one right next to Sasuke, a fact which enraged the fangirls who were arguing about who was gonna sit next to the Uchiha.
"HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING SITTING BESIDE SASUKE-KUN!?"
Naruto blinked before turning his head to look at who yelled at him and sighed.
It was the damn banshee, Haruno Sakura.
"Calm down ya banshee I'm only sitting. I'm too tired to argue with you so if you could kindly take off that would be much appreciated."
Everyone was shocked he talked to Sakura like that. Even Sasuke turned his head to look at him in interest. Not that there was anything wrong with it in their opinion but everyone thought that Naruto for some reason they couldn't fathom had a huge crush on Sakura. Hope started to fill a certain Hyuuga heiress that maybe she did have a chance with Naruto.
The reason why Naruto tried to date Sakura was mostly just to get attention and so he could one up Sasuke, the popular kid. Now that he dropped the mask, Naruto doesn't need to pretend anymore.
Fuming, Sakura was about to sock Naruto right in the face until Iruka walked in.
"Alright class take your seats!"
Sakura glared at the visage of a smirking Naruto, but returned to her seat none the less. In the corner of his eye, Naruto caught Hinata staring at him and turned to look at her. He smiled and waved at her, somehow causing Hinata to go atomic levels of red and passing out right then and there, confusing the blonde. 'Did I do something wrong?' He wondered.
Iruka explained to them about how they were now full fledged ninjas and that they were gonna be working in three man/woman (Gender equality right gu- I mean ppl?) Cells.
"Team 7. Uzumaki Naruto..." At the mention of his name, Naruto perked up. "...Haruno Sakura..." Then he groaned as Sakura glared at him. "... and Uchiha Sasuke." Sakura leaped for joy while Naruto sighed but didn't show any further complaint. He never exactly hated the guy, he just admired and was jealous of him since he was always the center of attention and had everyone's respect.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow at Naruto's lack of complaint. He knew the dobe wasn't really fond of him and he knew why. He never asked to be popular. He just was. In all honesty, he thought it was annoying. Specifically the fangirls.
Somehow the dobe...changed. At the very least the last Uchiha could tolerate this less loud and annoying personality.
After the rest of the teams were announced, the class waited with their teams for their sensei. Each sensei for each teans showed up until all that were left was team 7.
After about 3 hours of waiting, Naruto sighed in annoyance. "Our damn sensei hasn't even shown up yet. I'll teach em what happens when your three hours late." He grinned as Sasuke sighed.
'Scratch that. The dobe would never fully change.'
It was a simple prank really. All there was to it was a chalkboard eraser falling on the Jounin sensei when he opened the door. Sakura looked at the chalkboard eraser in disbelief while Sasuke only glanced at it.
There's no way a Jounin would fall for something like that right?
Lo and behold as the door opened and a head of silver hair popped up, the chalkboard eraser fell and to Sakura and Sasuke's disbelief, hit the Jounin's head.
Sakura and Sasuke looked shocked that the prank actually worked while Naruto snickered.
The Jounin didn't move his head for awhile before he looked at the three and close eye smiled. "How do I put this, my first impression of you guys is well... I hate you." He said simply.
"Meet me on the roof of the academy building."
With that, he seemed to blur out of existence.
Timeskip
After walking up to the roof, the three Gennin found their sensei reading a book and giggling.
They took a seat on the stairs as their sensei noticed them and shut his book.
"Let's see... Why don't we introduce ourselves?" He stated as Sakura for some reason looked confused. "Introduce ourselves? What are we suppose to say?" She questioned as Naruto sweatdropped.
'That's probably the dumbest question I've ever heard.' He thought. "Well, your name, your likes, dislikes, hobbies, future dream, stuff like that."
"Then why don't you introduce yourself first?" Naruto asked. "Me? My name is Hatake Kakashi. I don't feel like telling you guys my likes and dislikes. As for my future dream, I never really thought about it. My hobbies, well I have many." He drawled lazily.
"All we learned was his name." Sakura mumbled with a twitch in her eyebrow.
"Now it's your turn. Let's start with blondie."
Naruto looked up at the mention of his name and put his hands behind his head as a makeshift pillow. "Well, I'm Uzumaki Naruto. My likes are my precious people, pranks, ramen and freedom. My dislikes are people who try and take away someone's freedom, those who harm my precious people, the three minutes it takes to wait when you pour hot water into instant ramen, and just all kinds of bastards in general. My hobbies are pranks, training, and hanging out with my precious people. My dream is to become a Hokage who surpasses all others and someone else, and..."
Naruto clenched his fists. "...to find the answer to a question I've been asking myself alot lately." He whispered in a voice so soft, the other three almost didn't hear him.
Sakura looked at Naruto in confusion. Was this really Naruto? What happened to change him so much?
"What's the question?" Surprisingly, it was Sasuke who asked the question on everyone's mind right now. Naruto looked at Sasuke before he closed his eyes and shook his head. "Maybe I'll tell ya next time."
Kakashi stared at Naruto for a bit, eyes calculating.
He sighed and looked at Sakura. "Next." He said simply.
Sakura perked up and smiled while speaking in a voice too high pitched for her teammates and sensei's liking. "My name is Haruno Sakura! My likes, I mean who I like..." She paused and looked at Sasuke with a blush, which said boy completely ignored. "...My hobbies are..." She looked at Sasuke once again. "...My dreams for the future..." She looked at Sasuke before unleashing a fangirlish squeal.
Naruto cleaned his ear with his pinky with an annoyed looked on his face. "All we learned was your name." He said in a childlike, mocking voice to which Sasuke smirked at and Sakura glared at. "...And who I hate is Naruto!"
In response, Naruto grinned and held up a peace sign.
Kakashi had to hold in a sigh of annoyance. 'A fangirl. How annoying. If she is more interested in love then being a shinobi then she'll die somewhere along the line.'
"Next."
Everyone looked at Sasuke to which he promptly ignored and kept staring ahead of him. "My name...Uchiha Sasuke. I have many dislikes and no likes in particular other then..." Sasuke looked hesitant to continue before he turned away, as if embarrassed about something. "...Cooking..."
Everyone blinked and the roof became silent until a loud squeal could be heard all across Konoha. Kakashi and Naruto grimaced while rubbing their eardrums. Turning to Sasuke in confusion when he didn't see the Uchiha cover up his ears, Naruto tapped the boys shoulder and asked him how he survived without covering his ears.
Sasuke turned his head to Naruto with a raised eyebrow before taking something out of his ears -ear buds- and putting them away. "Hn?" He questioned in Uchihanese with a smirk, already knowing what the question was.
Naruto's eyebrow twitched in annoyance at the Uchiha's taunting smirk. "Teme." He muttured under his breath.
"As for my dream..." Sasuke's eyes darkened as he stared at the open space in front of him with a scowl. "...Is to restore my clan and to kill a certain someone... And..." Sasuke looked up at the sky, looking thoughtful before shaking his head. "...No. Nevermind, it's nothing." He dismissed. 'It's only a childish dream after all. If it existed before there's no way it exists now.'
Kakashi raised an eyebrow at Sasuke in mild surprise. 'It's just one surprise after another. First Minato's sensei's son and now the last Uchiha.' The man thought. "Ok, you're all very interesting individuals. Tomorrow we have our first mission."
Naruto grinned in anticipation for their first mission. "What kind of mission is is Kakashi-sensei?"
Kakashi started explaining to them how they were going to be doing a survival exercise and that they would all go back to the academy if they failed, saying the academy was only to select people who had the potential to be genin.
He stood up to leave but stopped and looked back on them from over his shoulder. "Ah. One more thing. Skip breakfest tomorrow... You'll throw up." He warned.
Timeskip
Plip...plop...plip...plop...
We come to the scene of a big bloody spot in the center of a humongous boulder somewhere in the forest, a bit of a crack in the boulder. In front of the boulder was our blonde protaganist hunched over, panting heavily with bloody knuckles, skin ripped off.
"D-damn this is harder then i thought." His knuckles hurt badly with so much as a twitch. Even so, he raised his hand up and made a fist, charging to strike the boulder despite the pain. "This..is nothing!"
He hit the boulder and the moment he did, he had to bite back a scream of agony as immense pain seared through his fist.
After introductions, Naruto made his way to the forest of death to train and master Haki. A mysterious power that has never been used or even discovered by the shinobi surprisingly.
Haki is another thing Naruto discovered within Ace's memory. Including the knowledge on how to train in it. It was the power of your Will. Unfortunately he didn't know how many years it would take for him to learn Haki and whether or not he had Conqueror's Haki.
So far he had been training in Armament Haki to the point where his knuckles started to bleed. He had been punching the same damn boulder for hours without a break. He hadn't made any progress in Armament Haki, although he did manage to crack it a little bit.
Armament Haki: Anyone who masters it can coat their limbs, weapons, projectiles, jutsu, or even their own bodies with their Will like a suit of armor. The more powerful the Will, the more powerful the Coating.
Observational Haki: Anyone who masters it can sense anybodies presence or their 'Voice' even if they try to conceal their presence and can hear these 'Voices' telling them what the person will do, or how they feel. It can even serve as a lie detector.
Conqueror's Haki: You cannot obtain it through training. Instead, you must be born with the ability to use it. It lets you force your Will onto others and intimidate them to the point they pass out if they have a weaker will then you. It can also tame animals if you have enough control over it. Those who have it are said to have the qualities of a king.
"Naruto?"
The voice startled Naruto and when he turned around to face the voice, he winced in pain. He was shocked however when he saw Shikamaru. However, Shikamaru was littered with bruises and wounds all around his body for some reason. Not to mention he had a blind fold tied around his forehead.
"Shikamaru? What are you doing here?"
Shikamaru ignored the question and stared at Naruto's hands. He then looked at the bloody boulder. "Naruto...why are you punching a boulder so hard to the point where your knuckles are bleeding and your skin is ripped off." He asked with narrowed eyes as Naruto chuckled nervously.
"Well...uhhhh...training?"
"What kind of results are you expecting from that stupid training method. Punching a boulder until your arm becomes harder and you actually break it?"
Naruto widened his eyes at the implications of that sentence. "You know about Haki?" Shikamaru sighed before nodding. "Yeah. I'm training in it too. I'm training in Observational Haki only though. Armament isn't for me and know way am I able to use Conqueror's Haki."
Naruto grinned at Shikamaru excitedly. A grin the lazy Nara did not and would not share. "Awesome! Maybe we can train together! Does anyone else know?"
"Only my parent's, Choji and Hokage-sama. Nobody else knows."
Shikamaru grabbed Naruto's arm making Naruto wince. "That's not important right now though. You need treatment." He said firmly.
Timeskip
After taking a trip to the hospital to get Naruto treated -which the staff were hesitant to do and probably wouldn't have if Shikamaru wasn't there- both Gennin were on their way home, since it was dark now.
"Troublesome. So you ate the Mera Mera No Mi and saw the memories of it's last user? I didn't know the Devil Fruits did that. At least mine didn't. Probably because it was an artificial one made by Vegapunk."
Naruto blinked in confusion. "Vegapunk?"
Shikamaru sighed at his friends cluelessness. Though he couldn't really blame him. "Vegapunk was a genius scientist Naruto. He found out how a Devil Fruit transfers it's powers to the eater, and has performed numerous experiments and created plenty of failed artificial Devil Fruits in the process." He paused and made sure Naruto was listening and to his surprise, the academic failure actually was.
"Through trial and error, Vegapunk was actually able to produce a Paramecia Devil Fruit. Mine, the Kage Kage No Mi. It's sort of like a Logia Devil Fruit, but my Body is not shadow's itself. It does allow me to have control over shadows though. of course there are still flaws but it's powerful when accompanied by my clans jutsu. It seemed making an artificial Devil Fruit that changes a person's molecules proved to be to difficult for him at the time. Whether he did or did not create a artificial Logia fruit eventually is beyond me." He explained with a shrug.
Naruto stared at Shikamaru in shock. "Shikamaru...I think that was the most you've ever spoken before." Shikamaru's eyebrow twitched in irritation before he sighed. "Troublesome..."
They reached a fork in the road where they had to split up to get to their homes. "Well I'm going this way. Wanna train in the same spot the day after tomorrow?"
Shikamaru only walked home and waved at Naruto over his shoulder.
"Lazy bastard." The blonde grumbled before heading home. At least he knew one of the other Devil Fruit Users. "Ah!" Naruto suddenly stopped as he came to a realization. "I forgot to ask how he got his fruit. Oh well. I'll ask next time I see him."
Timeskip
Naruto yawned as he arrived at the training field where he was gonna have the survival test with his teammates.
"Morning..." He drawled out lazily towards his other two teammates. Sasuke didn't look the least bit tired while Sakura looked as tired as Naruto did.
They waited for about thirty minutes before Naruto got impatient. "Ahhh log damn it! He's late again! I might as well get some training in." He stood up and took out his power pole, before practising the katas he read in the scrolls that taught him how to use a bo staff. He also recalled Ace's experience with the weapon when he was a kid. Keeping a constant flow of chakra in the pole while fighting would prove to be more difficult then he thought. Sometimes as he practised, the pole would randomly shrink or extend.
Sakura and Sasuke blinked when they saw the tiny pole extend a few feet as Naruto practised katas. "Wh-what was that Naruto!?"
The two boys winced at the volume. "Calm down would ya. It's my power pole. A special bo staff that extends through the power of chakra." His face turned thoughtful when a thought hit him. Could he use the power pole along with his flames? He already needed a constant flow of chakra to flow into the pole, he didn't know if he could also add in his fire. That would need focus.
Before Sakura could ask more questions Sasuke got up and moved to a spot and started fighting the air, practising with kicks. Naruto spared Sasuke a glance before returning back to his own training. Sakura, being the loyal fangirl she was, went over to Sasuke and started fangirling over him. To which the Uchiha ignored.
After 3 hours, their sensei finally dropped in. "Yo." He said simply with an closed eye smile.
Not hearing anyone comment on how he was late, he opened his eyes and blinked when he caught sight of what was going on.
Naruto was practising katas, with a bo staff, and at moments, fire would light up before disappearing. Sasuke was training in taijutsu with a kunai in hand while Sakura was...well being Sakura.
"Kyaaaaa! Sasuke-kun you're so cool!"
Kakashi was impressed with the two. Sakura was a whole other story though.
He coughed to get their attention and succeeded in doing so. "Oh you're here Kakashi-sensei." Naruto commented while shortening his power pole and placing it in it's holster. If Kakashi noticed the strange bo staff he didn't comment on it.
"YOU'RE LATE!" The banshee screamed.
Kakashi only rubbed his head sheepishly. "Well you see, a black cat crossed my path so I had to take the long way around."
Cricket cricket
Kakashi coughed into his hand to release te awkward silence and place a clock on one of the logs.
"Alright, the alarm is set for 12:00."
The sound of bells made it's way to Team 7's ears and they saw Kakashi dangling two bells in his hand. "Your mission is to try and take these bells from me. Those who can't do it won't get lunch."
Naruto let out a manly shriek at that.
"They'll be tied to one of those logs and watch as I eat my lunch in front of their eyes."
Team 7's stomachs grumbled at the very thought of that. 'That was the point for us not to eat breakfest' Sasuke and Sakura deadpanned as Naruto looked downright horrified.
Looking closely -even though you really didn't need to since it wasn't far away- Sakura noticed something odd. "Wait. Hold on, there's only two bell's Kakashi-sensei" She pointed out.
Kakashi gave her a closed eye smile. "There are only two bells because one of you will fail and be sent back to the academy. Maybe it will even be all three of you. You can use your weapons too. Come at me with the intent to kill or you won't get these bells."
"But Sensei! That's dangerous!" Naruto rolled his eyes at Sakura. Of course it was dangerous they were Shinobi not scaredy cats.
All of the sudden Naruto felt a shiver run down his spine. The author shook his head and facepalmed up in the realm of the better place. The idiot would regret using the term scaredy cat. That much was certain.
"Those who bark the loudest usually have no bite."
Sakura's eyes twitched at the insult and she looked like she really wanted to smash the man's face in, but stopped herself from doing so. Meanwhile Naruto was trying to warm himself up. 'What was that sudden cold feeling of dread?' He wondered. He's a Flame man! There's no way he could feel cold! So why did he just get the chills?
"Alright...get ready..." The three Gennin tensed and look ready to run away. "...start!" The three jumped away into the trees as Kakashi looked around. 'They seem to be hidden well.' He blinked however when he saw Naruto in front of him, the Gennin being in the same spot where he started.
"Is there something wrong with you?" The Jounin asked with a sweatdropped. "The only thing wrong around here is your haircut!" Naruto declared. He took out his power pole and extended it by a few feet, before charging Kakashi.
He thrusted his weapon at Kakashi and the Jounin only sidestepped lazily. Following through, Naruto swiped his Staff towards Kakashi and the man ducked under it.
"Hold still damn it!
He raised the staff up and brought it down towards Kakashi's head only to find the man gone. "I was going to read my book but after remembering you ate a Devil's Fruit I wanted to give you a piece of advice..."
Eyes widened, Naruto turned his head behind him and saw Kakashi closed eye smiling at him with his hands in the tiger seal position, electricity running through them.
"Naruto! Run! You'll die!" He heard Sakura yell suprisingly in concern.
"...You're not invincible."
Kakashi reeled his hands back with a gleam in his eyes. "Konohagakure Hiden Taijutsu Ogi: Sennin Goroshi! (Hidden Leave Village Secret Finger Technique: One Thousand Years of Death)"
He thrust his hands right into Naruto's butt, electrocuting Naruto and launching him off in the process. All in all it looked stupid.
Naruto landed on the ground face first. With a groan, he managed to get up and stare at Kakashi.
Kakashi raised his hand up and smiled, lightning dancing threatiningly across the raised hand. "You see, I ate a Devil Fruit too. I ate the Goro Goro No Mi. It made me a Lightning man. I've had the time to also master Haki. I guess you could call me your senior" He whispered in a voice only Naruto could hear, as Naruto began to sweat nervously.
"This test...isn't as simple as you thought it would be."
A.N. That's a wrap. Yay I finally updated one of my stories! *gives myself a pat on the back* The reason I made Observational Haki let the user detect lies and emotions is because Haki users like to call other presences 'Voices' so i thought how it worked was that these voices would tell you what the opponent would do, and it would also let you be aware of the emotions and any lies cuz you know, its a voice. Voices are used to speak. Thats how i think Observational Haki works at least. If not, who gives a crap. It does in this fanfic.
Naruto may start to emulate Ace a bit and that's gonna be important for one of my plans. At least if i get that far. So if you don't like how Naruto starts to resemble or mimic Ace little by little, bear with me for a while. It's a key component for Naruto's character developement.
For the power pole, i gave that to Naruto cuz why the hell not.
Anyways, enough of my rambling, thats all for this chap. See ya.
