With that done... The show goes on.
"Talking"
'Thinking'
"'Talking or thinking by the Kyuubi or berserk Naruto'"
-Naruto, Age 10(Academy)-
"GET OUT!" The academy teacher screamed at Naruto, who promptly stood up and began to pace towards the door.
Naruto walked out of the academy classroom, closing the door behind him before walking away.
"Wait, you were right, weren't you?" Kurama asked.
"Yeah, I was..." Naruto mentally replied, "These assholes can't bear seeing me being right, so this happens... That's my conclusion, at least."
"So, what are your plans for today?" Kurama questioned her host, who began to walk towards the academy's door.
"I'm just getting out of here..." Naruto replied, approaching the door.
Naruto opened the door, before ducking under a punch, one thrown by an older student.
"Where do you think you're going, you freak?!" The bully asked.
Naruto didn't reply, continuing to brush by the older boy. Seemingly annoyed by Naruto's nonchalance, the bully threw a right hook towards Naruto with all his might, one which connected with Naruto's face. Without a hint of flinching, Naruto pushed his face against the fist, turning to glare at the bully. Before the bully was able to pull his punch back, Naruto grabbed onto the bully's right thumb, before twisting and breaking it, causing the bully to scream in pain before falling to the ground.
"Y-You're finished!" The bully yelled, fear evident in his stumbling voice. "My dad's in the civilian council! H-He'll have you hung up by your guts!"
Completely ignoring the older boy's statement, Naruto withdrew a scalpel from his pocket, before slowly walking towards the bully.
"You know..." Naruto murmured with an emotionless tone, "You would make an excellent specimen to dissect..."
That was the final straw for the boy, who passed out in fear. Naruto turned his back, placing his scalpel back into his pocket before walking away.
"Realistically, you could have taken him as an actual specimen, you know that?" Kurama asked, a slight hint of laughter in her voice.
"Probably... I could've just dissected him right there and then," Naruto replied, "Either way, I would rather not have the entirety of the civilian side of the village after my head right now... One boy telling his parents is one thing... A missing boy... Now that's a different situation altogether."
"Smart move..." Kurama replied, "Anyways, that was an interesting use of the Kaguya Clan's ability..."
"Denser, tougher bones always make taking hits easier..." Naruto replied, slowly approaching his apartment.
-Naruto's Apartment-
Entering the apartment, Naruto placed his bag on the ground, before approaching his worktable, which had two vials placed on it.
"This might be a dumb idea..." Naruto informed Kurama while placing a set of goggles over his eyes, before pulling on a pair of lab gloves. "Correction, this is a dumb idea."
"Good... At least we agree on that..." Kurama muttered. "What do you intend to do anyway?"
"I'm going to create a new, stronger acid," Naruto replied, "I believe that it will be formed as a solution of both Antimony Pentafluoride and Hydrogen Fluoride, I just need to determine how much I need of both to balance the solution."
"What makes you think that they are compatible?" Kurama questioned. "What if it just explodes in your face?"
"You could just heal me..." Naruto replied, "Either that or my incredibly diluted blood would just pull something out of nowhere..."
Without heeding further warnings, Naruto began to pour one-third of a beaker of Antimony Pentafluoride into a larger beaker, before pouring two-thirds of a beaker of Hydrogen Fluoride Solution into the same large beaker. Naruto began to slowly twirl the mixture with a lab spatula. Suddenly, the beaker cracked and fell apart, before the mixture sparked and slowly caught on fire.
"That was unexpected..." Naruto whispered to Kurama, putting out the fire with a fire extinguisher, "I think I'm close to finding it, though... What do you think, Kurama-Chan?"
"How many times have I told you..." Kurama began to say, clearly flustered by the suffix, "NOT TO CALL ME THAT?!"
"Don't lie..." Naruto murmured with a rare smirk, "You like that nickname."
Without giving time for Kurama to respond, Naruto walked back to the table, pulling another large beaker from under the table.
'Now then...' Naruto thought, 'What happens if I put in equal amounts of both?'
Following his thoughts exactly, Naruto placed a third of a beaker each of both compounds into the larger beaker, before mixing them with the lab spatula.
"Hmmm... Nothing seems to be happening yet..." Naruto murmured, before turning around towards another table. "Guess I'll take a look at my other project first..."
"Your anesthetic project?" Kurama asked, "What do you need that for?"
"My mother did tell us that the world is dangerous..." Naruto replied, mentally recalling his meeting with Kushina. "Enemy shinobi are much easier to deal with once they are unconscious. It could also help me perform surgeries in the future if need be."
"Surgeries?" Kurama asked, "Didn't know you wanted to be a medic..."
"I don't necessarily want to cure diseases..." Naruto replied, "But I do intend to remove poisons and toxins..."
"Fascinating..." Kurama muttered.
Before Naruto was able to approach his other worktable, a sizzling noise could be heard. Carefully, Naruto turned to his first worktable, where he witnessed an extraordinary sight.
"The solution is gone..." Naruto muttered, "Did it dissolve? Evaporate? Is that why it sizzled?"
"Umm, Naruto-Kun..." Kurama informed, "Look closer at the beaker please..."
Naruto peered down from atop the beaker, before noticing what he had failed to notice seconds prior. Naruto found himself looking at a hole at the bottom of the beaker, one which extended through his worktable.
"Did it dissolve all the way through?!" Naruto said aloud.
"Let's hope that no one lives downstairs..." Kurama chuckled.
"Yup..." Naruto replied, walking towards the fireplace with his notes, "We don't need this anymore..." Naruto stated, before tossing the notes into the blaze. "Actually... It would be more appropriate to say that we don't need anyone else finding them... Isn't that right, Inu?"
As if on cue, a member of the Anbu wearing a fox-like mask landed on the ground before Naruto.
"You know my name... I don't get why you still insist on calling me Inu," Inu asked, "How have you been, Naruto?"
"Quite alright, Inu," Naruto replied, "As for why I call you Inu... It would be rather counter-productive to call an Anbu by his real name when he's on duty, wouldn't it?"
"It would," Inu replied, "Anyways, the Hokage wants to check up on you... It is your tenth birthday after all."
"Really?" Naruto remarked, "I forgot... I'll be at his office in a second, I just need to clean this up first..."
"No need for that," Hiruzen suddenly stated, "I'm already here." Hiruzen finished, before walking up behind Inu and Naruto, who both knelt before the Third Hokage. "Now, now, no need for formalities here... We are in a private place, after all."
Naruto and Inu stood up, before Inu flickered away, leaving Naruto and Hiruzen alone.
"Happy birthday, Naruto," Hiruzen stated, pulling a scroll from his back, "Take this as my gift... You could say that... It is a Jutsu most befitting of you."
"Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu?" Naruto asked, opening the scroll.
"Fascinating..." Kurama muttered. "Based on the information in the scroll... It's an S-Ranked Technique, and you probably could perform it."
"S-Ranked?" Naruto asked, "With all due respect, Hokage-sama, are you sure I can use it?"
"Of course, Naruto," Hiruzen replied, "With the Kyuubi contained within yourself, you possess chakra reserves which many deem... Unnaturally large... You said you had issues performing the normal Clone Jutsu, didn't you?"
"I did, but-" Naruto began to say.
"Then you should find this version perfect for you," Hiruzen replied, before walking towards the worktable, noticing the large hole that extended into the floor of Naruto's apartment. "A successful acid experiment, I assume?"
"Ehh, you could say that..." Naruto replied, "Actually, may I ask a favor?"
"Of course," Hiruzen replied, "Another specimen to dissect?"
"Precisely," Naruto replied, pulling his notebook from his table. "Could I ask... For a snake?"
Hiruzen paused for a moment, "Are you sure?" Hiruzen asked.
"Well, it's either that or a human specimen... But I assume the latter's off-limits?"
Hiruzen sighed, before giving his answer. "If you want a snake... Rush to Training Ground 44 before the sun sets, in that forest... Lives the only person from which you can get a snake from in the entirety of Konoha."
"Alright! Thank you, Hokage-sama!" Naruto thanked, before running out the door, leaving Hiruzen in his room.
"He sure does have his mother's enthusiasm..." Hiruzen muttered, before leaving Naruto's apartment.
-Training Ground 44-
"So this is the place..." Naruto muttered, walking up to the gates of the large forest.
"I remember this place from when I was contained inside Kushina-Chan..." Kurama revealed. "You're gonna love this place, Naruto-Kun."
"Really? What's inside?" Naruto asked.
"Well, from what I remember..." Kurama recalled, "Let's just say... You can probably dissect all the creatures here and discover something new every time."
"In that case... Let's hope this person Hokage-sama told me to look for is as interesting as the forest itself," Naruto replied, before walking into the forest.
Behind Naruto's back, however, four genin stepped out of the shadows.
"So this is where the demon is!" The first one said.
"Be quiet!" A second genin stated, "We don't want no one hearing us!"
"With the two of you being so loud..." A third genin stated, "I would be surprised if no one heard us..."
"Would you all just shut up!" A fourth one yelled, "Someone's going to hear us at this point!"
"Well... You sure are right about that one..." Naruto suddenly stated, appearing behind the four.
"Fuck the plan!" The first genin yelled, throwing a punch, one which Naruto ducked under with ease.
"Quite fast for a demon, aren't you?" The second genin asked, throwing a kick which Naruto dodged with similar ease.
Naruto ducked under an elbow strike, before backflipping over the second genin.
"What's wrong?" The third genin asked, successfully landing a punch onto Naruto's face, one which the blonde shrugged off, "Cat got your tongue?"
'What should I do, Kurama?' Naruto thought.
"Hang on, Naruto-Kun!" Kurama yelled, "Let's see what else your blood contains!"
With this moment of distraction, Naruto failed to notice a kunai whizzing past his face, only managing to notice the explosive tag tied to it. Without much time to dodge, Naruto covered his face with his arms, before the tag combusted and exploded completely, sending Naruto flying into a tree, parts of his clothing torn from the blast.
"Come on now..." The fourth genin muttered, "You showed so much bravado towards my little brother earlier... I do hope you have some more to show..."
'So it's that jackass...' Naruto thought, picking himself off, with his eyes completely shut. 'And why the hell are my eyes so irritated?! Kurama-chan? You there?'
"So this is part of your blood... Unexpected..." Kurama murmured, a slight hint of irritation in her voice.
'Kurama-chan? What are you talking about?' Naruto thought, opening his eyes.
Naruto stood up, but something was off. The four genin were still there, no doubt, but they seemed to move in a sort of... Slow-motion. With no time to contemplate, Naruto lept back into action, perfectly grabbing onto the wrist of the second genin before throwing him over his shoulder.
'Okay, how did I do that?!' Naruto thought, dodging a punch from the third genin.
"Think for yourself, Naruto-Kun," Kurama replied, "Which bloodline ability allows for the prediction of actions as well as the slowing down of vision?"
'Well, the-' Naruto began to think, before having to dodge a kick from the fourth genin.
"Sit still, demon!" The fourth genin yelled.
As if mocking his opponent, Naruto stopped in front of the fourth genin, before landing a devastating headbutt onto the nose of his opponent, knocking him out. Standing back up, Naruto sent a cold glare towards the two remaining genin, who seemed to notice something.
"Impossible..." The first genin muttered.
"It can't be!" The third genin yelled, "Your clan was murdered three years ago!"
"That's rather subjective... Isn't it?" Naruto finally stated, before catching a kunai from the first genin.
Without a moment's hesitation, Naruto flung the kunai into the chest of the third genin, the blade lodging itself deep into the neck of the genin. The first genin rushed over to the third genin's side, before placing his fingers over the kunai.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you..." Naruto stated, "That kunai's keeping him alive... Without it... He would bleed out within seconds."
"Y-You monster!" The remaining genin yelled, "We have parents in the Civilian Council-"
"Blah, blah, blah, and then the Civilian Council's gonna hang me by my guts, aren't they?" Naruto asked, "It would be an effective threat if I haven't heard it so many times before..."
Enraged, the remaining genin charged towards Naruto with the crudeness of an untrained barbarian. Unfazed by this, Naruto stood up, before landing a right cross onto the nose of the genin, breaking it in its entirety, knocking him out.
'Okay, what the hell is going on?!' Naruto asked himself, walking towards a pond, before staring into it. Staring back at Naruto was not his pair of regular, soulless, blue orbs, but a set of scarlet red pupils, each with a single tomoe within them. 'Well, can't say I saw that one coming...'
"Your blood sure is diverse, Naruto-Kun..." Kurama murmured.
"Could you turn them off?" Naruto requested.
"Of course..." Kurama replied.
Seconds later, Naruto's eyes reverted from the blazing pair of Sharingan back into his regular pair of blue orbs.
"What is going on here?" Came a new voice.
Naruto turned around, only to come face to face with what appeared to be a chunin. Naruto stood up, as the chunin looked around, before withdrawing a kunai.
"You demon..." The chunin declared, "How dare you?!"
Before the chunin was able to do anything, a snake emerged from the shadows, before biting the chunin in the neck, eliciting a scream of agony from the chunin. Naruto turned towards the snake, attempting to locate the source of the snake. Gradually, Naruto felt the snake slowly coming out of the light, before the source itself emerged from the darkness, the sleeve of a trenchcoat.
"How dare him?" A female voice asked, "How dare you! How dare you enter my grounds before prior request?"
Slowly, the source of the voice emerged from the shadows herself, revealing a young woman with purple hair tied into a pineapple-like shape, one wearing a tan trenchcoat with mesh armor underneath, the trenchcoat barely covering her stunning figure underneath. Most defining to Naruto, she had a snake-fang pendant tied around her neck. The woman flicked her wrist, before withdrawing the snake.
"You're not off the hook either, kid," The woman stated. "I'll just deal with this asshole first, so stay put."
'Shit,' Naruto thought, 'Something tells me this is the woman we're looking for... But I don't think she likes visitors!'
"Her form of dress is... Interesting... To say the least," Kurama replied.
"Get lost, snake whore!" The chunin yelled, "This is between me and the demon! It's fine, I'll end both the demon and the snake whore at the same time!"
The chunin rushed at the woman, who flickered out of view. The chunin looked around in confusion, before feeling a sharp jolt of pain in his shoulder. The chunin turned around, only to see a kunai stuck into his right shoulder.
"You seem decent," The woman stated, suddenly appearing next to Naruto, "Nice to meet you, kid. The name's Anko Mitarashi."
"Don't mock me!" The chunin yelled, throwing a kunai at newly identified Anko, who caught the kunai with ease.
"Nice kunai..." Anko stated, ripping off the explosive tag tied to the kunai, "I'll borrow this."
Anko tore the explosive tag apart, rendering it completely useless. The chunin stared, awestruck at Anko's lack of pressure. Suddenly, he felt a stinging pain in his leg. The chunin looked down to his feet, noticing a kunai plunged into his ankle. The chunin glared at Anko, before running towards Anko. Halfway into his run, however, the chunin collapsed to the ground, completely lifeless.
"Did you know?" Anko asked Naruto, "The Oxyuranus Microlepidotus is known to be one of the most venomous species of snakes in the world... So, tell me why you're here, kid before it sinks its fangs into your flesh."
"Um, well, I was wondering if I could have a snake?" Naruto asked.
"A snake?" Anko asked in confusion, "You're a kid! What do you need a snake for?!"
"Um, to dissect?" Naruto replied.
"And what if I don't give one to you?" Anko asked, "Hell, I don't even know your name!"
'Oh wait, I forgot to start with my name...' Naruto thought, mentally facepalming. 'I should attend a speaking class or something...'
"A priority..." Kurama muttered.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki," Naruto replied, "And Hokage-sama told me I could get a snake from you."
"Anything more specific?" Anko asked.
'You want me to just speak my mind?' Naruto mentally asked Kurama.
"Go for it!" Kurama replied with a cheeky smirk, 'This should be fun...'
"Well, I think you've got beautiful hair, a gorgeous face, a stunning figure," Naruto began to say, "An in-depth understanding about snakes, as well as intensely powerful shinobi skills."
Anko stared in confusion, slipping deep into her thoughts. 'This kid... Is he just that dense? Or does he not know how to interact? Either way... He is kinda cute...'
"How about this, Naruto-Kun," Anko offered, "I'll give you an infinite supply of different snakes... In exchange, you seem to need to learn how to talk to people... So you come here every week, how about it?" Anko asked, sticking out a hand. 'Truthfully... I just wanna see this kid, he's strangely endearing in a way... And hell, with how things might progress... Who knows what lies ahead for us?'
"I don't really like talking, but sure!" Naruto accepted, shaking Anko's hand. "I'll come down every week!"
"Now, I'll give you a snake tomorrow," Anko replied, "It's kinda late now... So you better head home."
"Alright, goodbye," Naruto replied, running off.
"Be honest, Naruto-Kun," Kurama teased, "You like her, don't you?"
"Maybe..." Naruto replied, slowly approaching his apartment.
Author's Notes 2: So here's Anko's introduction! (As well as Naruto's second bloodline but that's not as important...)
Anyways, Anko will be slightly de-aged here, so at least I will fell slightly more comfortable with pairing them. The same goes for every other member besides Kurama.
Well then, let me know what you think in the reviews or PMs, I'm looking forward to your feedback!
