Chapter Seventeen - Chunin Exams VIII
"Wait," Naruto held up his hand to his teammate to stop him from walking away. "Please listen to me when I say this, be careful. You may think there is shame to forfeiting but what you're never told is the valuable resource of retreating to fight another day. Your opponent is not a regular shinobi, okay, so you need to understand that you may be… at a disadvantage."
"What are you talking about idiot," Sasuke scoffed and pushed his teammate to the side. "I'm going to win this fight. Don't stand in my way."
Naruto just watched his teammate walk towards the stairs, a small glint of disappointment in his eyes at his rival's comment but he hid that shortly after the feeling came. He tried.
"Why did you try to stop him," Sakura asked with a small voice as she approached the blonde.
"Because his opponent is a beast of a different caliber and he won't be able to beat her if she takes him seriously." Naruto sighed and shook his head. "I tried to tell him but it is his choice in the end whether he listens to me or not. Hopefully, the girl doesn't hurt him too much."
"Are you ready?"
Sasuke stared down the green-haired girl with a glare and activated his Sharingan. She just smiled back and nodded her head to the proctor.
"Begin."
Sasuke moved to enter his clan taijutsu stance but was blown back by an unseen force, skidding along the ground before colliding with the spectator walls. He gasped in pain and gripped his chest with a hand while looking up to see what happened. From the pain it took to breathe, he assumed that he had a broken rib or two. Even with the Sharingan, he did not see what had attacked him.
Opening his eyes and looking up at his opponent, he saw her shaking her left hand with a grin before dusting off her knuckles. "Oh man, my bad, I got excited to face the last loyal Uchiha and when you activated the Sharingan I took this seriously and punched ya a bit too hard there. It's not my fault, though, as your sister is a prodigy among prodigies, and I just assumed you were the same. I guess not."
Sasuke's Sharingan spun angrily at the jab of comparing him to his traitor sister and the teasing smirk made his blood boil, and he dashed forward with all the speed he could muster. He sent a few jabs at the girl but none of them hit so he dropped to the ground and went to sweep her feet. His Dojutsu caught sight of the arm in the nick of time and he abandoned his move to roll to the side and gain some distance.
The girl didn't stop her attack, however, despite knowing he was not there and the ground exploded as soon as her fist connected with the arena floor. Chunks of earth and rock exploded out and into the spectators, forcing them to shield themselves briefly. A dust cloud formed to her knees but she dashed forward through it and aimed another punch for her opponent's head.
Sasuke's eyes widened at the speed and the way she seemed to flutter over through the air as if a moth in flight. He rolled back to dodge again but not without leaving a few exploding tags to possibly catch her off guard. As the tags exploded, consuming the girl, he went through a few hand seals and took a deep breath.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
Mustering all of his frustration into this singular attack, he created a ball of fire nearly twelve feet in diameter. It blazed like a weaker miniature sun as it hurtled for the last location he saw the girl in. It collided in a larger explosion than the tags and he watched with deep breaths hoping that it was enough, his Sharingan looking for the tiniest sign of movement. The fire raged almost uncontrollably, but he couldn't see a silhouette of his opponent and he breathed in relief, smirking as he realized he proved the blonde wrong.
"Wow, you almost got me there."
Sasuke twirled with a kunai in hand but gasped when a hand gripped his throat and lifted him up, causing him to drop his weapon. He looked down at the small smile of the girl that held him up like he was the size and weight of a puppy, and her eyes shined bright through the settling dust. But there was an unnatural air about her that reminded him of his blonde teammate.
"I'm still disappointed, I didn't have to even try really hard to beat you. I would have preferred fighting your teammate."
Sasuke gasped when her grip tightened and he moved to kick her in the chest. However, he felt relief when the grip on his throat left and he fell to the ground with a weak grunt.
"I believe I have won, proctor. I could have killed him there if there were no rules forbidding it," Fu waved her hand as she made her way back to her team.
Sasuke tried to get to his feet but he collapsed and the medic-nin had to come to get him.
"I tried to tell him," Naruto repeated quietly as he watched his teammate be brought away with a little concern.
"The next fight is Shino Aburame and Rock Lee."
Naruto grimaced at that poor matchup. Shino would not be able to do much since his bugs would not be able to keep up with Lee's taijutsu. This is also bad because the boy is not trained by a Jonin with taijutsu experience but by a Genjutsu mistress.
"I forfeit the match, proctor," Shino raised his hand as he called out monotonously.
Seems he agrees too, Naruto thought as he glanced in the boy's direction.
"Understood. Lee continues on. The next match will be Naruto Uzumaki and Dosu Kinuta."
Naruto sighed at the boring match he will face. Let's end this quickly.
"Ready?" Naruto and Dosu nodded to the man. "Start."
Naruto jumped back just as Dosu had tapped his arm resonator, avoiding the sound technique easily.
"You'll be tough to beat," Dosu commented as he took off his cloak and connected the two resonators. "I remember you said that our techniques would be easy to beat if prepared."
"I did say that and I stand by it," Naruto answered. "Your techniques are short-range and cannot travel far. I am guessing to do more it would require more chakra which you cannot currently produce or it is just not possible.
"Either way," Naruto continued and raised his hands, "I do not plan to entertain this fight for long."
Rabbit. Boar. Snake. Monkey.
Naruto clenched his right fist as numerous electrical currents danced all over his body and outwards around him. He appeared almost like a god of thunder and it was only enforced when he produced a spear of electricity in his clenched fists. It is about six feet in length.
"Try to dodge this," Naruto ground out through the electrical sounds.
He threw the spear forward.
Dosu's eyes widened as he saw the path of destruction created by the single technique and he jumped to the side to avoid its trajectory. However, the lightning spear twirled around immediately and followed him. It almost connected with Dosu but he had substituted himself with a piece of rubble at the last moment.
The stone exploded in a shower of electricity.
"Hahaha, that was close," Naruto laughed before creating another. "But that was just one. Let's spice this up."
Naruto proceeded to toss and produce nine more electrical spears, throwing them in the air to arc down and find their target. He was surprised that Dosu didn't take that moment to attack him but with the amount of lightning charged around him, he would think twice about doing so too. However, that just means he will go down without a struggle.
"You know, Kinuta-San," Naruto said as he watched the boy dodge and run for his life. "My family possesses many treasures, some mundane objects that they have passed down like a statue of the Sage or the Five Teachings created by the Sage. But many others we have protected away from the use of the world, too powerful to risk falling into the wrong hands, and it is a testament to their desires for peace that they didn't use it in defense of their home in the Second World War."
Dosu was not listening as his entire focus is on the four spears left chasing him but the spectators were listening with rapt attention.
For the Kumo-nin it was because they knew of what their grandparents have done and also because the rumors of the power held by the Uzumaki survived to this day in their village. They tried kidnapping Kushina Uzumaki decades ago to be able to obtain those secret treasures, not for the Biju like the Konoha Council claimed it to be. They did not care for that, but they wanted a line of strong shinobi to rival the first Hidden Village. They wanted a seat in the sun, and they were willing to do anything to achieve that a long time ago.
The Ame-nin listened in interest, especially the blue-haired sensei, for different reasons. For the students, they had briefly learned about the Uzumaki clan as one of the only world powers to talk amicably with Hanzo the Salamander during the Second World War and were taught to respect the old clan that took the combined might of three shinobi villages to be defeated. For the sensei, however, it was a name that belonged to a friend and leader. A desire to learn more to share to him when she returned to her village.
The Suna siblings did not care, but for Gaara, he listened to the person he wished to kill for his mother and to prove his existence greater than his. To learn more of the strengths of his target will only allow him more preparation in the future.
To the Konoha forces, the Genin did not know much of the dead clan and for those outside of Naruto's class that had heard his declaration many years ago they were interested to know what the last of the clan knew. To hear that the clan had treasures of untold power as well as relics of the holiest figure in many clan religions is even more surprising. The fantasy of the Uzumaki was painted as holy warrior monks who protected objects of a long-gone era, but for some, they thought of the Uzumaki as greedy thieves who coveted the world's possessions for themselves.
For one lone Warhawk, however, he gripped his cane tightly as the objects of his desire were talked about so openly - by a child no less! He knew of the First's wife and how she taught in the Academy, sharing tales of the old clan she hailed from, but even back then the young Shimura saw the idea of such a powerful clan not loyal to the village but being so involved as dangerous. He did not trust the clan, and when he tried sharing his thoughts in private with some classmates, he was thrown to the wolves by the cowards.
Even with the death of the clan, he could not find these objects of power to bring them back to Konoha. All of the time he took after the end of the Second Shinobi War was wasted scouring the ruins of the village. It was there that he lost his arm to the beasts that inhabit the island's volcano.
"I want to show you one of my family's treasures," Naruto continued as he unsealed a black scroll from his jacket.
He bit his finger and let a few drops fall onto the blue swirl seal, whispering a few words so quietly no one in the room could hear, and the effect was nearly instantaneous and threw everything into a quiet form of chaos. As a burst of pure white chakra is unleashed from the seal, whirling dirt and dust around in a violent tempest, a light enveloped the scroll and Naruto's hands. A feeling that everyone collectively understood as divinity as pure as nothing ever felt or seen enveloped the area of the arena.
For Dosu, he had finally dodged the last of the lightning technique only to feel himself be forced to be at ease. It is almost as if he is charmed, placed under a genjutsu that ensnared his senses and will with something he could never hope to dispel. He has been forced to give up his will to fight, collapsing to his knees as his eyes widened and stared at the object presented in the blonde's hands that no one else can see.
Even Danzo, for all his experiences and abilities, could not see what is presented in the light. But from the feeling it was powerful and a God Item that very few have seen or known of. But any will to attack the blonde… vanished as soon as he felt it and he was placed into a platonic state of being where all of his worries just washed away.
"This is one of the Ten Items of Six," Naruto smiled at the effect of Dosu. "It prevents any negative feelings or desires of violence from being felt or acted in the immediate vicinity. A useful item that is held in the scroll only opened by Uzumaki blood and a special incantation. You should forfeit."
Dosu's eyes drifted from the item to the blonde's face and he swallowed thickly. "I forfeit."
Naruto nodded and he clasped his hand over the opened seal and allowed his chakra to rebuild it, and soon the light and divine feeling faded away. Everyone gained their original composure but were now whispering among themselves, all about the powerful object that is possessed by the Genin. While Hayate called Naruto's win, everything stopped when a new voice spoke loudly.
"How do you have such a powerful object in your hands?"
Everyone turned to Danzo when he asked his question, a narrowed gaze looking down at the blonde Prince. His hand clenched his cane.
"Danzo."
Naruto glanced at Hiruzen as the man gave a warning look to his advisor. "As I mentioned before, it has been a clan possession for a long time before the Hidden Villages have been formed. Now, if you'll excuse me, we are holding up the next fight."
Danzo worked his mouth but he glanced around the room quickly before snapping his mouth shut. "Excuse me."
Hiruzen watched his former friend walk away and breathed an exhausted sigh before pulling out his smoke pipe and began packing it with tobacco. So much for not smoking during the Exams.
Naruto felt bad for the old man as he walked back to his team and the next duo was chosen.
"Samui of Kumogakure and Kankuro of the Desert."
Naruto hoped that this time he got to see what was in that strange wrapped bundle, but he felt a hand on his shoulder after he leaned forward. He turned around to see Ginrei looking at him with a calm stare.
"Come with me for a second, Uzumaki-sama," he said before turning to lead him away.
Naruto sighed and realized he wouldn't get to see this fight and followed the man away, waving his hand to tell Kakashi that he would be back.
The two walked for a while before they entered an empty room, Ginrei moving to the side to let him in first. He entered and leaned against one of the desks in the room, looking at the elder with a confused look. "What's up, Ginrei-jiji?"
"I think something is going to happen in these exams," the older man said without hesitation and not dodging the point. "The Jinchuuriki are all looking around at those in attendance except for their team or the Sound team. More than once have I seen the Gyuki Jinchuuriki talk to the Matatabi girl despite not being her sensei."
"I can't tell who he is looking at when he speaks but the Genin is not as subtle and she looks at you each time. Her focus trains on you and analyzes you for a few moments before shaking or nodding her head."
Naruto hummed and cupped his chin in thought. It was a valid reason to be concerned but even the teams from Konoha looked at him at times as well. Especially after the milk vase incident. However, they were Jinchuuriki and it wasn't a reunion with a sibling of a similar burden they were looking for.
"That is a bit uncomfortable news," Naruto admitted softly. "Anyone else like Gaara's siblings or maybe that other Kumo kunoichi, I would have waved it off as not that big of a problem. It doesn't help that even the Ame Jonin has taken interest in me."
Ginrei nodded as he knew that too but he was more focused on the Jinchuuriki. "What do you suggest?"
Naruto was quiet as he thought of his answer before he looked up. "Go contact some of the Whirling Tide and have them scout the borders of Hi-no-Kuni as well as visit the participating villages. If there is anything they find out of the normal at either of them then we know that there will be danger."
"What of the Sound team?"
Naruto met the man's gaze and smirked. "Let me handle that. None of them made it through, and their sensei is mysteriously absent. I wonder why."
Ginrei nodded his head and made his way for the door. "I will try to be back before the end of the exam but if I'm not then I will arrive at your home with the news."
Naruto nodded and watched the man leave and waited for a few moments before making his way to the arena. Would someone actually try to invade the village when the examinations are happening? Nearly all of our shinobi are in the village during this time so it would be a catastrophic failure.
You know what makes people confident in a fight like that. It isn't the first time it would have happened.
Naruto slowed to a stop as the Biju spoke and his eyes widened in realization. It's more than one village! If Kumo is working with another village, the amount of damage from two rampaging Jinchuuriki is insurmountable! Nothing short of the Elder Ancient Beasts fighting with me would stop such a thing!
We will need to be careful. If we accuse them wrongly then we will look bad to an international degree, but if we ignore it or slip up then the consequences will be devastating.
Naruto hated how right the old fox was. Sometimes, he hated the responsibility that came with being a Prince and an ally.
"Yugito Nii wins."
Naruto blinked as he walked back into the arena to see Shikamaru laying on the ground while holding his abdomen, wincing in pain. It seems he had the misfortune of facing off against the Matatabi Jinchuuriki. He almost felt bad if it wasn't that the boy is just too lazy to begin with so he likely didn't take the fight seriously at all. So it was deserved. Probably.
"Was this the only fight I missed," he asked Hinata as he walked back to the spot beside her.
"No, Tenten and Karui fought but it ended pretty quickly. That kunoichi is actually very skilled with her sword," Hinata sounded impressed but that was because Tenten had thrown everything she had at Karui but everything was blocked by the redhead Kumo-nin. "Where did you go? You could have missed my fight."
Naruto chuckled at the small pout from the girl and patted her head affectionately. "I'm here now, and I'm glad I didn't. I still need to see you fight and make sure you deserve your reward."
The girl beamed happily at the affection and the prize she is trying to win.
"Gaara of the Desert and Ajisai of Amegakure, please come forward."
Naruto winced at that and looked to see Ajisai talking to her sensei. A few words were exchanged before the young kunoichi dropped down into the arena and made her way to her opponent. There is no way she can win.
"Are we ready?" Ajisai gave a nod and Gaara gave no recognition. "Start!"
Ajisai tried to run away but sand moved to envelop her foot, then her leg, before yanking her down and slamming her into the ground. The sand yanked her into the air before slamming her back down again. Blood leaked from the sand that wrapped around her leg.
"Stop!" Hayate moved to stop the boy but he was tossed back.
"Mother demands blood!"
Naruto went through rapid, foreign hand seals before slamming his hands on the ground. Lines and seals rapidly raced toward the boy and crawled over the boy and his clothes. It began burning a sickly yellow before the redhead began screaming.
"No! No! What are you doing to mother!"
The Suna team was on edge immediately, but Kakashi got onto the other side of his student to protect him. He didn't know what he was doing either but he trusted his student to not do something hasty.
"I'm silencing your Biju until you are calm."
Naruto swiped his hand to the right and in a flash of red, the seals disappeared but the boy collapsed into the limp sand that he no longer had control of. Naruto had silenced and cut the connection he had to his Biju for a temporary solution, not trusting anyone let alone himself from fighting an enraged Jinchuuriki without provoking them into their Tailed Form.
"Baki-san," Hiruzen called out with a chilling voice, a stern gaze on the man from under his hat as he exuded an immense amount of killing intent. "You should be thanking Naruto-kun for preventing your student from doing anything rash as if he didn't the boy would have been detained and disposed of without releasing it."
Baki swallowed thickly as he glanced from the Hokage to the young Uzumaki before nodding his head stiffly. "Understood."
"I will allow your student the ability to continue to the next part, but if he acts out of line at all from hereafter," Hiruzen paused as he let the suspense sink in to not just the Suna team but to everyone else. "As you can tell, even some Genin under my employ are capable of rendering your ultimate weapon useless. I hope we have come to an understanding, and this goes for everyone that is within my village."
Looking around the man, glanced at everyone before looking at the redhead boy sobbing on the ground. "The medics may take care of him, but I will have him under surveillance until further notice."
With a snap of his fingers, two Anbu appeared near the boy - cat and boar masks - before taking him away to be taken care of.
Hayate winced as he sat up, breathing heavily as he tried to get his sickness under control. "The next fight is…" the board flashed on with the last two names. "Hinata Hyuuga and… Neji Hyuuga."
Both of them blinked at the announcement and looked at the screen to see that the names for sure were there. They were. Even after all that happened with Gaara, the fact that two members of the same clan from two branches fighting each other caught everyone's attention. The Kumo teams tried to stay uninterested because of some history that they still haven't been able to recover from politically.
"Neji," Hinata whispered and glanced down to see the brunette boy already entering the arena.
"You okay, Hinata-chan," Naruto asked as he leaned forward into her.
Hinata turned to Naruto and gave a smile, but even he could tell it was forced. "I'm fine, Naruto-kun, don't worry. I'll win this fight easily."
Hinata walked away and walked down the stairs into the arena, her serious eyes finding the amused eyes of her cousin.
"What's wrong, cousin? Scared?"
"Nothing to be scared of," Hinata smirked in a show of confidence. "It's only you I am facing."
Neji's smirk and amusement went away immediately and he slipped into the Gentle Fist, Hinata doing the same as she accepted that the jibes were no longer necessary.
"Ready?" Hayate glanced between the two Hyuuga. Why must the clans of this village be so unstable and weird?
"Start!"
Neji dashed forward with his Byakugan activated. Hinata stepped to the side and weaved her attack around her cousin's, striking him in the rib, and she jumped back to gain some distance between them. She slipped back into the proper taijutsu stance but this time her hands and arms glowed with a faint blue haze of chakra.
Neji gripped the side that he was hit and winced and breathed in pain. He turned back to his younger cousin and scowled at the blank look on her face. "Even losers have a bit of luck."
"Cousin, this fight could be over with a simple hand seal if I truly wanted to cause you pain. But I feel the need to hit you for all the pain you've put Hanabi-chan through."
Neji started laughing at that statement. "Don't act as if you care for your sister. When you become the clan head she will become just like my father. An outcast, branded with a seal to keep her in line like all the others."
"I will never let that happen to her," Hinata hissed but did not give in to attack too early. "You can wallow in your self-pity for as long as you want, but I will make sure you know the consequences of hurting someone close to me."
Neji entered the Gentle Fist with a grin on his face but a dark look in his eyes. "Then show me what you can do, cousin!"
Neji dashed forward.
Hinata expanded the chakra flowing through her arms, and the aura around her hands grew two spikes resembling horns before she slipped around the rigid attack of her cousin and sent a single palm forward into his stomach. A blast of air and chakra burst from Neji's back and he coughed blood as he crumbled to the floor.
"For all your talk of fate and how you are so much better than the rest of the clan," Hinata began speaking as she lowered her arms to her sides. "This position fits you, cousin. You don't deserve to walk with your head high like uncle did. You don't get that luxury."
"You're the reason-"
"I was five!" Hinata sent a palm strike into Neji's back, disabling his spine. "I was five and kidnapped by Kumogakure! I could not protect myself! Do you know who did? Naruto-kun! Do you know who died for me? My uncle!"
Hinata kicked her cousin over on his back so he could look her in the eye as she lashed out at him. "For all these years I ignored the way you glared at me and my family. How you went back against every teaching uncle gave. You are undeserving of the Hyuuga's eyes. If it was not for my love for my family, which included you, father would have had your eyes sealed the moment he had learned that you harassed Hanabi-chan."
Neji just stared at the ceiling as she spoke but the moment she said his eyes would have been sealed away or taken had him look at her and see how serious she was. He saw no lie in her eyes and he felt a chill run up and down his spine, unsure if it was the pain or the prospect that he would lose everything if not for her.
"Let this fight be the final warning, cousin. If you do anything else against the family, main or branch does not matter, I will have father go through with it. You will lose everything. You will lose everything that makes you better."
Hinata began walking away.
"Hinata Hyuuga wins! Medic!"
The last chapter of this part of the Chunin Exams is finally here. The next chapter will be the month gap until the next part of the Exam and for this we will be taking a trip outside the village. We have some stuff to cover and not a lot of time! Thank you to everyone who enjoys the story I really appreciate it :D
Also, another character has been genderswapped since I saw a fanart of it on Pinterest by accident and I liked it. So thank you pinterest xD
SurplusHook: Thank you more will come :D
NinjaFang1331: Thank you
777torn777: You have no idea the fear Hiruzen faced behind the scenes. The man had been so stressed lol
PreatorXyn: There's a very good reason I have Aizen here, but be warned that the Aizen here will not be the same as the Bleach anime because, as you said, there is no Soul King to destroy. For power, hmm... ;)
Freddielebron: The reason I have Sosuke Aizen is because I liked his character a bit, and while it's been a while since I watched the anime or read the manga he was always a good antagonist to the series. The reason I have him is not what was given by Orochimaru. That is just what Orochimaru is told or knows, so it is safe to assume that Aizen could be lying. He won't be here to "spice things up" but to serve as a good lesson for Naruto. You will understand more of what I mean in the next few chapters. As for the Fu vs Sasuke fight, yeah even as she didn't take it seriously Sasuke was no match for that opponent and even Naruto tried to warn him. Sasuke is strong in terms of his graduating class (minus Naruto and Hinata) but compared to the rest of the village he would not survive unscathed. And I wasn't going to let him.
Xerzo LotCN: I saved you for last, friend, and I'm here to answer all of your reviews :D
Kurenai will not be added, as the harem is large already and as I want there to at least be some kid of connection there it just isn't possible. As you can tell, Kurenai does not exactly approve of Hinata and Naruto's relationship. I'm all for gathering the waifus and husbandos (no there will not be yaoi I just know that with characters like Finnian and Astolfo existing it is hard to deny cuteness) but I want there to be something to connect with. There will be characters from the movies as well as many others, but the ice queens trope is a little overused that I'm not gonna outright name them that at this point in time.
The reason for characters from Black Butler fitting in is that with a hundred years earlier in that series would put them at a reasonable point to fit into the Naruto world. I never understood how it didn't take an entire generation to get to the level of technology in Boruto so for obvious reasons I consider the Naruto world more in a latter-day colonial era where there is exploration and innovation happening. Not really science-y stuff but you get it. So a more merchant-focused company led by the Phantomhives is added into the story. I'm not adding entire universes as that clutters things but I'm introducing them as we go with main characters that people can recognize if they know the series. As for Kurama, I like to think of him as a father figure and not some horny fox inside Naruto's head. If I do that, I'm making Naruto gay because all he had to influence him was a horny female directly in his head. ;)
Female Itachi remains a thing, and I stand by it. There may be a typo or a mistake but yes, Itachi is genderbent/genderswapped/etc.
As for the summons, they are classified as "ancient beasts" and are protected by the Uzumaki for a few millennia. It is not just the dragons I have in mind and one of them is Kirin, Behemoth, Leshen, etc. I just like the creatures and think their edition gives a bit more substance to how dangerous the world of Naruto was before the Sage and his mother. The plot with Mei will begin soon, whether she becomes waifu or not depends on where I go with the story and their interactions.
As for Luffy and Shanks and other main characters of other stories not women, as I said I want to add the stories and make some interesting mash of them for the Uzumaki clan. Not all girls will be waifu'd (Retsu is like a grandmother-figure for Naruto) and the characters of other anime will be within their own relationships, but we aren't going to let the entire world be populated by Naruto. He's cautious with his lineage because the Uzumaki are dangerous people. There is a reason they were killed. As for the lemon, I don't do those, maybe if I feel confident in it but my stories won't have a lot of those. Clones won't be used and as the story progresses he will be shared among his wives easily.
Also, the mixup of what was said about Naruto's chakra natures. What was worded was done purposely, as Kurotsuchi said that she prefers fire and earth since it allows her to create lava but it was stated that Naruto prefers fire and wind not that he has affinities for these two. The irony is that the two elements he prefers for the utility while using Fuinjutsu are the ones he does not have an affinity for. Naruto's affinities are Earth, Water and Lightning which he uses to make Wood and Storm. And I mentioned that he might have Scorch, not Blaze, but it was said he eluded to it but not outright saying it. The reason is he was eluding to having and advanced chakra nature but Kurotsuchi assumed it was Scorch due to his preferred natures. It's confusing and I apologize for that.
I confirm nor deny anything but that Anko is freaky xD.
Canonically, the Biju do not have any natural gender. However, in my story, they have decided their gender on what they wanted and have since lived like that. Chomei is male but is seals predominantly in females, like Kurama in the Uzumaki women.
Why must Hayate die I like him :o
And lastly, no the gay pedo will not be gone for a while lol
Wow that was a lot! But I always answer to everyone I like interacting with yall :D
It's almost Christmas as well, dear lord I have so many gifts to buy. I hope everyone is staying warm or enjoying the time before New Year!
