Hello all and welcome back and I'm sure you've all been looking forward to this chapter: Naruto kicking everyone's ass.
So, this is mostly a fight and observation chapter so if you want plot to go anywhere fast then this chapter isn't the one for you. The plot will move this chapter, but it won't be moving rapidly.
Also, unless I specifically mention it, everyone looks like they did in Shippuden and for those that weren't in Shippuden then they will be described when they get more actual screen time. Although you do need to tack on a couple of years since they're 2-3 years older than they were in Shippuden.
Oh, there are some movie quotes this chapter: I'll answer a question for each one someone gets right, but you have to state which line and what movie it is from.
Anyway, nothing else so let's just get the usual out of the way
LAST WARNING! Naruto will be extremely powerful in this where only some members of the Akatsuki could hope to take him on and I believe I have done it in a way for it to be believable. The reasons for this were made clear the first chapter and if you can't find where it was… then I'm not talking to you anymore. I am putting this warning so no one will complain about being overpowered as the story goes.
Now that that's settled, let's start the show shall we?
Disclaimer: You know the drill; I don't own Naruto or anything but a few ideas, attacks, and maybe some characters. If I owned Naruto… Kakashi would have seriously trained his students.

Chapter 4: A Show of Skill
LAST TIME
He stated and many paled in fear at the demon being able to kill them without anyone being able to do anything about it as everyone saw the various Daimyos nod their heads confirming what he said was true, "Next anyone who attempts to attack me after the match has clearly been decided will be beaten to an inch of their lives if I am feeling nice and anyone who has lost can NOT try again so get that out of your heads now as well. Next even if you are in the stands and you attack, I can attack you there regardless of who is around you or where you try to run so there is no safe place for you in here and I will even hunt you down in the village if you should try to run for it." Naruto stated with his smirk increasing at the many scared and paled faces of the villagers, "Now that that has been stated, this exhibition will not end until all Konoha 11 have faced me and lost, with the added stipulation that it will continue to their senseis as well, or until I lose." Naruto stated making sure everyone heard him clearly before he popped his neck audibly, "Now that that has been settled, we can begin. Send the first of the Konoha 11." He stated and there was silence for a bit before footsteps echoed out and he saw his first opponent causing him to raise an eyebrow, "Really? They chose you to go first?" He stated as he didn't see why they would other than just to get it out of the way.
NOW
Naruto stared at the person before him unimpressed since she clearly hadn't done much in the past five years and why would she when all she could think about was winning Sasuke, "So they are just starting with the weakest to get it out of the way, eh Sakura?" He stated as Sakura growled at him and Naruto rolled his eyes before turning to the others, "Really? You send her first? What, did you think I was going to get hurt out of some misguided view that I couldn't take a shot at her? News Flash, I faked that bullshit all those years so the idiots of this village would think I was an idiot and not seriously training." He stated before he lifted his hand and caught Sakura's fist shocking everyone as, while not as strong as Tsunade, her strength was nothing to sneeze at, "That's it? Five years and this is it?" He asked before he put his hand, fingers out, at her stomach before he bent them and put his fist into her gut making her drop to her knees and he side stepped as she puked her stomach contents up and Naruto rolled his eyes, "You learned how to somewhat give a hit, but you never learned to take one." He stated before he chopped her neck knocking her out before he lifted her by her neck and turned her head to towards the recovery area and with him behind her before aiming with his thumb.
"He's not really going to…" Jiraiya didn't finish as Naruto reared back his foot.
"Punt!" He yelled before he literally kicked Sakura in the ass and sent her flying into the air, "It's going, it's going." He stated right before she went crashing into the wall of the recovery area and he raised his arms straight into the air, "And it's good!" He stated before he simply walked to his starting spot… if about three feet from where Sakura puked, "Next!" He called making several from the village grit their teeth but they decided to wait since they wanted to see if someone would weaken the demon brat enough they could just swarm him and kill him.
Naruto heard more footsteps and looked to see Ino coming towards him and he sighed as she took her ready stance, "Word of advice." He stated making her look at him confused, "Don't try the Mind Transfer Jutsu whether it hits or not will not end well for you." He warned and she had to give him that since, when news about Naruto's life came out, her father had warned her that regardless of any other talents Naruto had, he could defeat any member of their clan if they tried mental Jutsu on him since the Kyubi would throw them out or cause harm to them.
With that in mind she threw several Kunai at him which he casually batted aside with his gauntlets before he caught the last one and threw back faster than she could follow and it cut her cheek before she felt hot breath on her neck, "I'm disappointed Ino-chan, five years and you didn't bother to learn a thing besides your family Jutsu. What would have happened if I was a real enemy and either was a Jinchuriki or had faced a Yamanaka before and knew how to get passed the Jutsu?" He asked as his hands went up and down her sides making her blush and bite back a moan as his hands felt nice on her, "You know I need to knock you out if you won't surrender." He stated and she nodded before she blacked out and he carried her up the wall and put her in the recovery area where Shizune was waiting and he kissed Ino's forehead before he turned back to the field.
Naruto jumped down and stood again as he saw Kiba coming in and he smirked, "How bad did my Imouto beat the hell out of you after I left?" He asked knowing that was the only reason that they hadn't sent Hinata out before Kiba and Kiba chuckled nervously as Akamaru whimpered a little.
"I think you can take a good guess." He stated as he felt his arms twitch from phantom pain as his left arm and right leg were paralyzed for over a week while the right arm and left leg were hit in a way that made the nerve endings light up like a Christmas tree and that wasn't counting the bruises, broken bones, and other injuries he had. Akamaru just got a jab to the neck to knock him out since he was just a bystander to it all.
Naruto smirked and waved him to come on while his other hand went to a pouch and grabbed something. Kiba quickly got on all fours after giving Akamaru a food pill, "Ninja Art: Man Beast Clone." He called as Akamaru turned into another Kiba and the two ran at him with Naruto throwing an item into the field between them making a cloud of smoke making both smirk, "Nice try Naruto but we used this on you in the Chunin Exams." Kiba stated while Naruto rolled his eyes behind the smoke as Kiba crashed right through the smoke and both he and Akamaru emerged on the other side out cold and snoring rather loudly.
Naruto shook his head while everyone else was sweat dropping at the sight before they heard Naruto speak, "Just because it was smoke, doesn't mean it was meant for distraction Kiba." He stated before he grabbed the two and dragged them to the recovery area and jumped back down as he glanced at the Jonin Senseis, "This is pathetic and reflects VERY poorly on you guys and the village." He stated before turning to see Hinata coming towards him and she moved to her Gentle Fist stance without her Byakugan on surprising people and Naruto smirked, "I see you remember that lesson I taught you." He stated making people frown in confusion even as Hinata nodded.
"Yes, I may not know what you have learned in your time away, but I know that you may have something to use against the Byakugan and it would be better for me if I didn't use it." She stated and Naruto smirked wider and moved to a stance that was similar to what Lee would but Naruto had his left arm behind him and his right extended outwards with his fingers pointing at Hinata.
At an unseen signal, Hinata charged at Naruto and began releasing a barrage of strikes that Naruto deflected with his one arm or dodged out of the way of with rapid speed surprising people at his usage of Taijutsu and caught the attention of two 'youthful' members of Konoha. Naruto broke them apart by delivering a kick to Hinata that sent her skidding back, "Good: Adaptation, Improvisation, but your weakness, is not in your technique." Naruto stated as he moved a few steps and Hinata frowned before blowing her hair out of her face and charged back at him with him blocking her again. Naruto and Hinata continued their dance before Naruto got through and put his fist less than an inch from her face and she jumped back, "What are you waiting for? You're faster than this." He asked then stated as he resumed his ready position, "Don't think you are, KNOW you are."
He stated and Hinata took a calming breath before she shifted her stance to the form of Gentle Fist that reflected her natural flexibility over brute force, which Naruto theorized was due to her having a different affinity than the rest of her clan, and charged back at Naruto maneuvering much better and going faster than before but still couldn't land a hit on him. Needless to say, this shocked many as no one expected Naruto to be able to keep up in a Taijutsu fight let alone against a Hyuga, "Damn, Mr. Nine is so fly, he ain't never gonna die." The Raikage's brother, Killer Bee, stated/rapped making the Raikage, A, and the woman, named Yugito, groan before they paused at his words.
"Mr. Nine? You mean he's…" A didn't finish as Bee deadpanned at him and A recalled Naruto talking about the Kyubi and A gulped since the boy could be stronger than his brother was with the demon's power and he was so preoccupied by his observations that he missed Yugito blushing and fidgeting since her demon was telling her to try and get Naruto as a mate since he was definitely the most powerful man she had come across since the Sage of Six Paths. The Tsuchikage and his two were no better than the Raikage since the two males were afraid and the girl, Kurotsuchi, was blushing and fidgeting.
Tsunade was also impressed with his display so far, though she felt jealous when she saw Naruto doing what he did to Ino as she wanted to trade places with her that instant. She wasn't the only one as there were several women, not counting the four that were already with Naruto, that had wanted to swap places with her and be the one that he was caressing and touching like that.
They all broke from their thoughts as Naruto swept Hinata's legs out from under her and put his fist at her face showing she lost. Naruto smiled and helped her up before kissing her forehead and she walked off with Naruto popping his neck and Choji came out and nodded to him before he quickly used his expansion jutsu and launched himself at Naruto in boulder form. Naruto merely sighed and pulled the strange wooden item off his back showing his rifle that he modeled after Shay Cormac's and jumped on top of Choji's form and began riding him like a professional log roller and cocked the rifle before he fired it three times and jumped off just as Choji came to a stop and deflated showing he was out like a light with three darts in his stomach and Naruto shook his head slightly before he grabbed Choji and took him to recovery before retaking his spot as Tenten came out and winked at him before she took a kunai and Naruto stood there completely calm.
Tenten waited a few minutes before she threw five Kunai at him only to be shocked and confused as they curved around him like they were being repelled by something. Tenten frowned as Naruto smirked, "You'll have to do better than just throw things at me, Tenten." Naruto stated and she frowned before she unsealed a sword and saluted him before she took her stance. Naruto raised an eyebrow before he moved his hand and every believed he was going for the sword on his hip but instead he went into his coat and pulled out a blade that made everyone widen their eyes. Why you ask? Because it was Kubikiribōchō only it was the length of a Katana, if a bit shorter by an inch or so, and just a bit thicker and Naruto smirked at her as he had it out to his side in one hand, "Surprised? I got the opportunity to talk with Zabuza Momochi and he decided to make me the heir to Kubikiribōchō and I added a seal and other things so I could adjust it as needed. I can let it be full sized or anywhere in between full sized and a dagger depending on what I need, which helps in a cramped space such as a hallway or if your allies are fighting in close proximity to you."
Naruto stated enjoying the shocked and surprised looks before Tenten schooled her features and came at Naruto with an overhead swing that he casually blocked with his own blade and didn't seem to be struggling against the attack at all, but considering what he did to Sakura that shouldn't be too surprising. Naruto easily pushed her back and then blocked her continued strikes with precise and careful movements as Tenten struck faster and harder. Naruto dodged an overhead slash and slapped Tenten's ass with his sword making her squeak with a blush while Naruto held his smirk, "You're getting sloppy Tenten. Don't tell me all you did in the last five years is just train with weapons and nothing else?" He stated as she blushed at him while he smirked and walked towards her with her holding her sword at the ready before he slammed his fist on the blunt end of her sword causing it to come out of her hand and flip with the handle landing in his free hand and he held both at her throat, "You really disappoint me since you claim to be a weapon mistress yet you didn't master any of the weapons you use."
He stated and Tenten wallowed nervously before she nodded slightly, "I yield to you, Naruto-sama." She stated showing her acknowledgement that he was the better swordsman before he twirled the blade and handed it back to her and he kissed her hand making her blush as she left the field and he gazed over the audience and the remaining competitors.
Naruto knew fully well that they were waiting for him to show some kind of weakness or sign of slowing and they were going to be VERY disappointed. Naruto turned his attention to his next opponent in the form of Shino, who nodded to him and stood there across from Naruto while said assassin sealed Kubikiribōchō away again.
Shino and Naruto stood there unmoving making people tense before Naruto sighed, "You realize we'll be here all day before your Kikaichu get through half my chakra?" Naruto asked making Shino widened his eyes as he wasn't sure Naruto had noticed his swarm had been slowly approaching him, "I'll give you a warning, if your insects feel my chakra start to pulse then they better run or your queen will lose quite a bit of her colony." He warned and Shino could tell he was dead serious and quickly had the queen direct her children to do just that before they swarmed Naruto covering him from head to toe while he remained there with his arms crossed and just let the Kikaichu eat his chakra, surprising people.
However, many became even more shocked as several of the insects flew back indicating they had eaten their fill of chakra and the rest immediately fled as Naruto built his chakra and it turned into a glow before it looked like he was on fire with the chakra taking a ghostly blue color and Shino, along with the other Aburame and the Naras, knew why Naruto warned Shino, "Ingenious." Shibi stated catching the other Clan Heads' attention.
"You see it too?" Shikaku asked and Shibi nodded getting confused looks from the others and Shibi elaborated.
"Naruto-san has mastered his chakra to the point he can make an aura of it and using it he would have trapped my son's allies within and they would have been force fed until they died or simply been incinerated depending on if he is able to mold chakra around him with an affinity." Shibi stated shocking the others since that could also be used to block the Gentle Fist style as well.
They weren't the only ones to realize this as the Kage and their tagalongs also realized this and A realized the man before them could potentially use both Minato's deadly technique as well as his own lightning armor with the other Kage finding their own evaluations to be similar.
Naruto rolled his shoulders as he looked to Shino before he was gone and Shino felt some kind of cylindrical item pressed against his temple, "I would like you to surrender now, before I have to execute you in front of your father." Naruto stated as a loud CLICK was heard as Naruto held a revolver to Shino's head, not that the witnesses knew what it was, and Shino nodded before Naruto stepped back and Shino saw the weapon. It was pure black and seemed to be some kind of long range weapon like the chakra cannons that were rumored to be in development but this was on a hand held scale. The Revolver was pitch black with gold accents, ivory handles, silver designs etched into it along some kind of tube and a cylinder type item in the middle in front of a lever mechanism of some kind that led to the metal tube that was at least five inches long, and there was another lever of a different kind under the cylinder with a metal guard over it. Naruto then holstered it on his ribcage again, "I'll find you later, I have a Taijutsu style that you and your clan could use." Naruto stated and Shino raised his eyebrows before nodding and left with Shikamaru lazily coming down.
Shikamaru stood there unmoving as did Naruto with Naruto being calm and relaxed as he stood there, "You know." Naruto started making Shikamaru look at him, "I expected someone to learn something that they didn't already know or that was still connected to what you already knew." He stated before he suddenly went poof surprising Shikamaru, and everyone else, before he felt a cord wrap around his neck and he was yanked towards the tree line before he was stretched till only his toes were touching the ground and he noticed Naruto there just leaning against the tree and smoking a cigar, which unknown to Shikamaru was a habit he picked up during the centuries and really got into it when he started smoking with Teddy Roosevelt, "That Shadow Possession Jutsu is really a battle of wills instead of just a full-on control thing just like with the Yamanaka techniques. Even if it wasn't a clone you ensnared, I had over 30 different ways to either kill you or break your control. Now, since I know you can't speak at the moment, blink once for yes and nothing for no. Do you give up?" Naruto informed then asked and he swore Shikamaru muttered a 'troublesome' before he blinked once and was instantly released from the cord and Shikamaru coughed a bit before he nodded to Naruto and left with Lee jumping down the moment Shikamaru was off the field.
Naruto analyzed Lee a moment as he wrapped the cord up and put it away before audibly popping his neck and used some fire chakra to burn the cigar before the two were gone with them reappearing with Naruto's foot planted in Lee's stomach and Lee's fist above Naruto's head, "HE'S FASTER THAN LEE!" Everyone that knew/of Lee thought in shock with the young man having the same thoughts before he was sent sailing back with Naruto coming after him. Naruto then shocked them all further by appearing and kicking Lee higher into the air before he grabbed him from behind and spun before slamming him into the ground showing them that he knew the Primary Lotus.
Naruto landed back at his starting point shocking Guy and a few others since he didn't even seem winded. As the dust cleared, Lee appeared shaking his head to clear the cobwebs while appearing a bit bruised and battered but showed no signs of stopping. Naruto motioned to his legs and Lee smiled before he took his weights off making craters and Naruto smirked as he removed his cloak, vest/holsters, gauntlets, and belt and sealed them into his arm showing his refined body and making several girls/women blush and drool at his body and the markings on his face giving him a mature look before he took off against Lee again and they met in the middle releasing a furry of blows with Naruto being the only connecting as he attacked.
Naturally, this shocked people even further as Naruto was easily keeping up with Lee and was winning with many knowing why Naruto was going so hard on Lee. Naruto ended it when he appeared above Lee and delivered a double hammer fist sending Lee into the ground. Naruto stared at Lee a minute before he grabbed Lee's leg and pulled him out of the crater, "You done Lee? We can spar again later." He asked and Lee groaned as he got up to his knees and nodded before Naruto carried him and his weights to the rest area and found Neji down there waiting for him.
As he came back down, he put his other items back on making several women pout. Neji looked at his comrade with a calculating gaze, "May I ask why you went so hard on Lee?" He asked and Naruto merely looked at him before pulling his hood back up.
"I wasn't about to disrespect him by holding back too much since I knew he wouldn't want me to." He stated and Neji nodded to him, though he and everyone noted Naruto said he didn't hold back too much, before taking his stance and activating his Byakugan and widened his eyes a miniscule fraction before he saw Naruto sign him something and gave the briefest of nods. Naruto stared at him as Neji got ready to move and knew he was surprising people with his patience. After waiting a minute, Neji moved forward and Naruto blocked his strikes and kept maneuvering through them before he locked arms with Neji, "C'mon, stop trying to hit me and hit me." Naruto stated as he kept moving and blocking Neji's strikes before he turned sideways and began blocking Neji's strikes before he palm thrusted Neji away making him stumble before he caught himself and moved to the 64 Palms stance and Naruto looked at him incredulously, "Really? That didn't work last time." He stated and Neji smirked slightly.
"Eight Trigrams: 128 Palms." He stated and Naruto sighed as Neji launched himself and Naruto quickly bent backwards showing true flexibility as he nearly bent clean in half and grabbed Neji's outstretched arm and twisted it making Neji go with it before he found himself on the ground with Naruto's revolver at his head and his arm wrenched behind his back. Neji gritted his teeth since Naruto's knee was planted between his shoulders and then sighed, "I submit." He stated and Naruto nodded before he helped him up and patted him on the back before seeing Sasuke coming down and the villager and ninja immediately cheered thinking Sasuke would kill him.
Sasuke twitched an eye at the village cheering for him to kill Naruto before he growled loudly, "Shut up you morons!" He shouted surprising people, "I'm not gonna kill him because you all are too damn stupid to see past your own hatred!" Sasuke shouted again making many gawk at him while Naruto chuckled.
"As nice as it is to have you on my side, teme, it is rather pointless since Kyubi is dead." He stated getting shocked looks from everyone but Gaara and Haku, "Yeah, the Seal finished him off a while ago. Shame too, sometimes he was the only one to talk to and it wasn't exactly his fault he attacked Konoha, though considering several people all over the countries treat Biju and Jinchuriki as weapons and monsters, when they are the ones who made us that way in the first place and then throw a fit when we rebel when they know fully well that they would do the same in our place, I wouldn't be that surprised if he had wanted to destroy the village." He stated giving a pointed glare at the Elders, the Tsuchikage, and a few other ninja making them and others flinch, "Anyway, I don't really give a damn what these people want and I'll be able to tell who is trying to save face so those that screwed me over as a kid can go fuck themselves as they ain't getting shit from me in regards to power, status, wealth, or forgiveness. But this is kinda outside of why we are here since I am supposed to fight you, but considering I kicked your ass at the Valley of the End and had to hold back not to kill you and your eyes tell me you know I could beat you if we fought now, I guess it is up to you if we fight or not."
Naruto stated uncaringly since he knew the moment that Sasuke was out, Kakashi would come down and regardless of that there would be more of them to come at him. Sasuke slumped over knowing it was true as he had yet to hit that level that he felt Naruto did even without the Kyubi's power and after seeing his speed and everything, there was no way he could win and Naruto hadn't even used a jutsu besides making one Shadow Clone. He would like to have a spar with Naruto without people wanting to chant for death though and maybe even train under him just to get stronger since he had decided that if Itachi came for him then he would fight to kill him, but he wasn't going to actively seek him out to fight. With that in mind he sighed, "Just knock me out and then Shizune can wake me up for any other matches just agree to have a spar with me later since it would help me if nothing else since that snake bastard is still after me." He stated and Naruto shrugged before he appeared behind him and chopped his neck knocking him out before he put him in the recovery area and Shizune quickly woke him up in time to see Kakashi come down with a furious gaze in his eye.
Naruto rolled his eyes as Kakashi lifted his headband and stared at Naruto with his transplant Sharingan and Naruto yawned making Kakashi furious before he quickly made a Raikiri and shot at Naruto with Naruto not moving. A few of the women were about to shout out when Naruto shocked them all, no pun intended, especially Sasuke, Kakashi, and the Kumo Ninja. What did he do you ask? Well, Naruto grabbed Kakashi's lightning coated hand with his right hand then put two fingers at his right wrist, dragged them up to his shoulder, down to his belly, over and up to his left shoulder before the Raikiri reformed in Naruto's other hand before he twisted and slammed Kakashi into the ground and then slammed the Raikiri into the ground beside his head.
Needless to say, everyone was stunned and Naruto frowned before he flexed his left hand and slammed his palm over Kakashi's Sharingan before it glowed gold and Kakashi released a scream of pain before Naruto pulled his hand back and showed Kakashi with a normal black colored eye and Naruto holding a sphere with the Sharingan sitting in it before Naruto crushed it and stood, "Wh-what did you do to me?" Kakashi asked and Naruto snorted.
"I did what my father asked. You see, he had me agree that if you ever used Chidori or Raikiri on me, that I was to take away what allowed you to use it effectively: Your Sharingan." He stated shocking everyone as it was unheard of for a person to actually and literally rip a Bloodline out of someone, "Now you have no access to it or any of its powers since you just don't have it anymore." He stated and Kakashi saw red and launched at Naruto with a Kunai that Naruto ducked and dropped onto his hands before kicking Kakashi directly on the knees with an audible CRUNCH echoing out and Kakashi screaming in pain as his knees were just shattered to pieces. Naruto got up and then slammed his foot down on both Kakashi's ankles making him scream more before doing the same to his hands and fingers. Naruto then grabbed Kakashi by the throat, lifted him clear off the ground, and held him there, "That was what I promised my mother if you ever used one of those attacks on me, you'll be lucky to ever walk again and you can forget about ever making handsigns." Naruto stated making many become shocked, "So basically, I just ended your career as a shinobi." He stated before throwing Kakashi into the recovery area where the other medics began working on him.
Naruto popped his neck as he looked at the varying degrees of fear, understanding, anger, shock, anticipation, and respect on everyone's faces, "Well, now that that is out of the way, anyone else want to try their hand at fighting me?" He asked and he got his answer by feeling three people take up positions behind him, "Yugao Uzuki, Gecko Hayate, and Genma Shiranui, come to see if I live up to my mother?" He asked without turning as the one Anbu and 2 Jonin looked at him in surprise, "I do know everything about my mother and father, so it isn't that surprising that I know who their teams were when they were senseis." He stated as he turned and looked at them seeing they hadn't changed much though Hayate looked a bit healthier than he did at the prelims of the Chunin Exams though he could tell that he was still hurting from the scar across his chest since Naruto had actually found and got Hayate to safety after Baki had used his wind sword on him, but Hayate was unconscious until a month after the finals which was why they couldn't stop the invasion from occurring as they didn't know about it.
The three said nothing as they each drew their Katanas and Naruto withdrew Kubikiribōchō and held it at his side as he had done with Tenten and smirked as he waved at them to come at him, which they obliged as they came at him from different angles and Naruto smirked as they came down with an overhead swing and he shocked everyone yet again. He bent backwards and put his blade right at the intersection that their swords met at and stopped all three. Naruto smirked before he pushed off throwing them off balance before he flipped the blade and swung around slamming the blunt end into all three sending them crashing away while he stood again and twirled his blade in a figure 8.
Naruto then moved and put his blade to Hayate as he knew his ribs were bruised, cracked, and broken and it would be bad if he tried anything. Hayate felt the blade and nodded before Naruto moved and knocked Genma's sword away and held his at Genma's throat making him nod before he turned to see Yugao up and at the ready. Naruto moved to stand before her when she did a lunge and he sidestepped and spun his blade smacking hers aside and forcing her off balance before he grabbed her outstretched arm and pulled her against his chest with her blade to her throat, "You overextended yourself, Yugao-chan." He stated into her ear as he took a deep breath inhaling her scent making her shiver and blush, "You also made the mistake of using the style my mother taught you instead of using a style I may not know, such a disadvantage can never be done by me since I know plenty of sword styles that you and everyone in this village do not." He stated with his breath tickling her neck making her blush a bit more and she lowered her eyes a bit as she got a deeper blush.
"Can you teach me?" She asked in a voice above a whisper and Naruto raised an eyebrow before he smiled.
"Of course, but I warn you I might be a bit biased and/or distracted since my mother thought you would make a good wife for me." He stated and Yugao blushed brightly and he chuckled, "You know, I still need you to say you surrender before I can let you go… not that I mind being this close to you mind you." He stated and she blushed more since she could feel his weapons, and one item that could be classified as a 'weapon' depending on your point of view, along with his muscles against her and she nodded before he released her and kissed her hand before she walked off.
Everyone was in shock and awe as they watched Naruto dismantle every opponent that he faced without taking a hit. However, one Tsume Inuzuka and her daughter, Hana, noticed that Tsume's partner Kuromaru seemed shaken by Naruto, "You alright Kuromaru?" Tsume asked and the wolf seemed to not register the question for a time before he spoke.
"That man, he's a real alpha and has a strong connection to the wolves and two other animals. I'll have to talk with him later." He stated and Tsume and Hana widened their eyes in shock with Tsume also doing so because she had an idea on what he wanted to see Naruto about. Tsume and Hana quickly returned their attention to the field not wanting to miss anything Naruto did.
Naruto looked as Yugito jumped down and he looked at her with curiosity, "Your demon won't help you in this fight." He warned her and she frowned with a shrug as she took a kunai out and threw it with him tilting his head to the side letting it pass him harmlessly just before a stream of fire came at him. Naruto rolled his eyes, "Water Style: Raging Torrent." He stated shocking people as water came from the very air and slammed into the fire putting it out and making the field covered in steam. Yugito frowned as she tried to find him in the fog along with everyone else before a voice rang out, "Ice Style: Howling Wolves."
They heard Naruto say shocking them further as Ice Style was believed to be a bloodline that even the Sharingan couldn't copy. They broke from their thoughts as several wolf howls were heard before Yugito had to dodge as a wolf the size of a pony and made of ice launched out of the fog before 9 more came out and surrounded Yugito. Yugito frowned before she flared her demon's chakra sending out a wave of heat that melted the wolves. She turned towards Naruto to see him standing there with the fog gone and waiting for her patiently. He then looked to her before he took a deep breath and blew out a large dragon made of fire shocking people again since he hadn't called the jutsu name nor had he made handsigns and he already showed that he had a water affinity to use the water in the air like he did.
Yugito was also in shock since she was a bit of a fire jutsu expert and she had never seem a fully formed dragon made of fire before since all the other dragons jutsu were just a head followed by a stream depending on how much chakra the person pumped into it. She broke from her shock in time to dodge and it slammed into the arena wall creating stress cracks out to 10 feet and there was a large crater where the dragon hit further shocking everyone watching. However, Yugito broke from her shock as she was grabbed and slammed to the ground and was able to stare into a large swirling blue sphere that was just barely above her face, "You lose, Yugito-chan." He stated making her blush as he straddled her and the fact he apparently knew her name before she nodded and he got off her with the Rasengan disappearing before he helped her up and kissed her hand making her blush before she left and Naruto sensed a new opponent come down.
He turned to see Kurotsuchi, the granddaughter of the Tsuchikage, and saw that Onoki, the Tsuchikage, was not happy she had jumped down there and Naruto looked up at him and he sweated slightly, "Relax, she's done nothing to warrant me killing her." He stated and Onoki, despite his better judgement and fears, actually gave a sigh of relief as Naruto turned back to Kurotsuchi.
In the stands the Konoha 11 and their senseis, minus Sakura and Kakashi, were all watching as Naruto wasn't breaking a sweat, "Hey Shika, do you think we would've stood a chance if we had all fought Naruto at once?" Choji asked and the others were curious as well as Shikamaru took a drag from a cigarette since he picked the habit up from Asuma and blew the smoke out.
"Troublesome, I doubt it because he's barely been working to defeat us individually and then there is the fact that we all only know how to fight together in our own teams so we would end up tripping each other up as we tried to fight him." He stated as they went from shocked to understanding since they had rarely worked together so they wouldn't be in synch with each other that well, "He's also going to beat that girl down there regardless of how strong she is." Shikamaru stated and they all raised their eyebrows in surprise except for Shino and Hinata as everyone turned back to watching the fight.
Kurotsuchi wasted no time and immediately went through seals, "Earth Style: Spiked Graveyard." She called as she slammed her hands on the ground and Human sized spikes shot up from everywhere heading towards Naruto who simply held his hand up.
"Lightning Style: Thunder Cannon." He stated and lightning lit up his entire arm before condensing on his palm in a ball before it launched out and tore through the spikes and Kurotsuchi just barely managed to dodge before she heard him speak again, "Lava Style: Lava Bullets." Naruto stated as he quickly began spitting high speed bullets of lava at her making her dodge rapidly while both her and everyone else was shocked that he could use both Lava and Ice release. As Kurotsuchi got back up, she was sent sailing into the wall after a call of, "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough."
Kurotsuchi slumped down only to find someone holding her up with a blade to her throat and saw Naruto there and she started to get lost in his eyes before he spoke, "I think it's time you gave up or I'll have to knock you out." He stated and she nodded and, like with all the other females but Sakura and Ino, he kissed her hand making her blush before he moved back to his starting position while she went back to the viewing area.
Naruto turned as three Kumo 'Genin' jumped down next and he gazed over them all and knew fully well they were above Genin and were likely unknowingly taking a page from Kabuto's book, "May I have the names of my current opponents and why you wish to face me?" He asked as he turned to face them and they all took a katana or Ninjato out.
The middle one, a particularly voluptuous blonde that would probably rival Tsunade for breast size in a few years, spoke first, "My name is Samui, you seem like a cool guy and I want to test my own sword skills against you." She stated then a dark skinned red head, whom wasn't as stacked as Samui but appeared to have a very nice ass, and appeared to be full of spunk and determination decided to go next.
"I'm Karui. You have good skills with a blade and not many outside of Kiri can say that and there is the fact that you have to be somewhat decent as a fighter to warrant Zabuza Momochi's blessing in using his blade." She stated and Naruto looked to the last one, a guy that had a lollipop in his mouth and seemed nervous.
"I'm Omoi, though I probably shouldn't have told you that since that might mean that you're gonna hunt me down and kill me or kidnap me for information. However, it could mean that I just gave you the idea and now I just endangered myself." He stated before Karui got a tick mark and smacked him upside the head, "Sorry, anyway, I'm doing this just to back up my teammates." He stated and Naruto nodded though one could see he was analyzing them if one looked closely.
"A pleasure, though it is a bit of a disappointment that Kumo is not allies with Konoha since you three must have some kind of potential to be trained by the Raikage's brother, and a Jinchuriki at that." He stated surprising them and the others in the area as he smirked, "It wasn't that hard, both the Raikage and his brother got a bit worried when you came down with Bee's being a teacher's worry and there is the fact that I can still sense demonic energy even if I don't have Kyubi inside me any longer. As for knowing he is A's brother, well, you'd be surprised what one can learn with a decent spy network." Naruto stated with a smirk as he popped his neck, "It really is a shame that Kumo and Konoha aren't allies since it would be interesting to teach you three to wield a blade since I can tell from Bee's stance that he doesn't use a conventional method meaning your three didn't learn the normal way and part of what you learned was improvised." He stated surprising them even more and he smirked wider as he held his blade out, "I guess you could consider this a free lesson or two."
Naruto stated as he beckoned them to come at him and they frowned before the three launched at him and launched their attacks at him but he parried every one of them while delivering a slap to the ass with his sword to Samui and Karui and a palm thrust to Omoi's gut. The women, both on the field and off, blushed and Omoi shook the hit off before Karui came at him and with a fire in her eyes. Naruto dodged her attack and caught her before bending her backwards with his blade at her throat, "It's not about anger - it's about peace." He stated with her blushing at the proximity and the predatory look in his eyes before he tossed her away and then dodged Omoi's strike and kicked him in the back of the knees forcing him to them as Naruto placed his blade at his throat, "It's not about power - it's about grace." He stated before kicking him forward and parried Samui's attack before catching her and pinning her large chest to his with his blade at her chin, "It's not about knowing your enemy – it's about knowing yourself." He stated and she blushed at her breasts being squished and how close she was to the admittedly handsome man in front of her before he smiled and pushed her back towards her teammates.
Naruto stared at them as they got up and got ready to go at him again as he twirled his sword and pointed it towards them, "A sword by itself rules nothing. It only comes alive in skilled hands." He stated before he moved to a tree and cut a branch off and shaved the excess foliage off before standing before them again with the branch in hand and his sword sealed again, "Sharpness, is a state of mind." He stated before he launched at them and swung the branch knocking their swords out of the way and smacking them on the arms and legs and blocking strikes before striking them again as they backed up and saw that his branch didn't have a scratch on it, "Real sharpness comes without effort."
He stated as he looked over the three before they charged again and he slapped Karui on her torso, "No growth without assistance." He stated before he leaned back to dodge a strike and slapped Omoi over the head and then his back, "No action without reaction." He then ducked an attack from Samui and put the branch at her throat, "No desire without restraint." He stated before he pushed her back and then spun slapping both Omoi and Karui into her, "Now give yourself up and find yourself again." He stated as they fell over before standing again and looked at him wondering how he was doing this and he smirked, "You use your mind far too much." He stated making everyone, but the Samurai present and one in particular that had the mark of General, frown in confusion.
"What the hell does that mean?" Karui asked as she had never heard that before and Naruto smirked.
"You focus your mind on your sword, on your allies, on the crowd, on me, on my weapons. You use your mind too much. You need to clear your mind." He stated before he was gone and the three felt smacks to the back of their legs before their blades were brought to their throats, "You are so unfocused you can't see what needs to be seen until it is too late." He stated before he looked around the wall and frowned, "You three need to give up now, I have some new arrivals to handle." He stated with an edge to his voice and the three quickly nodded before Naruto moved their blades and helped them stand before he patted Omoi on the back and kissed Samui and Karui's hands making the latter two blush as they walked away and Naruto tossed the branch at the wall where it impaled something and a figure fell out revealing a Root Anbu and Naruto looked over the walls, "I do believe I stated that if you enter this field then you are my opponent, so you may as well show yourselves since you suck at hiding, especially against my eyes."
He stated before over 50 Root Anbu came and surrounded him with their weapons drawn and he smirked before he frowned, "Tsunade if you or Jiraiya jump down here then I will fight you too. I don't need help to fight this small number." He warned and stated as Tsunade was about to jump down with Jiraiya before they stopped and Evie held Haku back since she knew Naruto was not in any kind of danger. Naruto rolled his shoulders, "He only sent 50? That's just insulting to me." He stated before he took a thinking pose, "When was the last time I only faced around 50 supposedly trained professionals all at once?" He asked himself absentmindedly as he tapped his head thinking before he snapped his fingers, "Ah, it was with Connor when we attacked the British Fort at New York." Naruto stated making many frown in confusion before he looked to the Root Anbu, "So, does he want me captured or killed? Not like I am any use to him anymore since I'm no longer the Jinchuriki of the Kyubi so I'm no longer a weapon he can mold to his liking."
The Root Anbu paused a moment before the one with captain rank spoke, "Regardless, you will be detained for questioning and study." He stated and Naruto chuckled darkly as the air seemed to get colder and the Root Anbu felt like something was stocking them.
"I don't think my friends would allow that." He stated and saw the Root Captain look to the stands and Naruto shook his head with a predatory smirk, "I don't mean them." He stated before five of the Root Anbu were suddenly knocked down while the growls and howls of wolves were heard before they appeared in a ghostly fashion and the five were mauled badly with Naruto maintaining his smirk, "I meant them." He stated as the Root charged him and Naruto smirked before he moved and caught one Root's arm and twisted it so he stabbed himself before he grabbed the corpse and threw it into another before he twisted and grabbed another's neck and snapped it. Naruto then bent backwards and broke another's arm before taking the Root's sword and stabbed him through the heart and threw it into another before he threw a set a knives into 10 of the Root killing them, "20 down, are you sure you're supposed to be elites?"
He asked sensing anger and shock from Danzo, Himura, and Koharu while the other Root were busy switching their attention between him and the empty air around him since they didn't know where those strange wolves were at. Naruto smirked as he pulled out a scroll and unrolled it a little before swiping his finger against it and took hold of a halberd came out that was easily a good six inches taller than Naruto and had a four inch spike on the top, a five inch axe head, and a 6 inch curved hook/spike on the back. Naruto grinned at them before he vanished and an eagle cry was heard before a ghostly eagle appeared before turning into Naruto who was stabbing one of the ones in the back right before he spun and decapitated three more and slammed the axe head down on another. Naruto then pulled his arm back and sent the halberd through the air before it pierced and went through two Root and stopped in a third before Naruto grabbed his revolvers, drew them, and fired.
Everyone was shocked and scared at the loud BANG that echoed out after the first shot making one Root drop dead with a fist sized hole in his chest before Naruto followed up with another 11 BANGS and 11 more Root dropped dead. Naruto holstered his revolvers before turning and seeing the last five Root before they too were tackled to the ground mauled by the wolves. Naruto then sighed as he sensed more Root Anbu and even some of the Jonin and Chunin fools of the village and sealed his halberd before pulling out Kubikiribōchō as more Root Anbu came out and Naruto ran at them before jumping the first and cut the second that jumped to meet him in half before he landed and spun cutting through three. He ducked a swing before cutting up another, spun, and then ran another through before he blocked a strike and cut another's throat. Naruto then turned and cut another in their head before twisting and delivered a slash to another's chest before bisecting another. Naruto then slammed his blade point first into a Root Anbu's sword making the sword shatter and the hilt to slam into the Anbu's chest killing them before he twisted and slammed the hilt of his blade into an Anbu's face caving it in before he jumped and impaled a Jonin that jumped at him and brought him down on a Chunin impaling him too before he took his blade and flung the top corpse into another Anbu and heard the satisfying crack of necks meaning they were both dead before Naruto spun and cut down another that came at him.
As more came at Naruto, he grinned slightly as he pulled out his crossbow and fired it making it whistle past and strike a Root in the back before it exploded and he then holstered the crossbow. Naruto then let the blade grow long as he swung it around and cut through 10 more enemies before he let it retract and took one of his revolvers and began shooting any incoming shinobi while still cutting down any that got close before he smacked one upside the head with his revolver and shot them in the back before he holstered the revolver and moved slightly to face more of his enemies. One came at him and he parried the blade before he did a figure eight movement cutting a large X on his chest before he parried another attack and shoved his blade through another's throat and spun it before catching the handle and pulled it out with the head now being attached to the body backwards. Naruto then kicked one leg out from another and brought his sword down through his left shoulder to the middle of his torso before dragging it out. Naruto then ducked and swiped another's legs out from under him with the legs barely holding onto the body before he parried a strike and stabbed one in the neck with his left hidden blade before he maneuvered him towards another and fired his hidden pistol killing the two before he ducked again and came up stabbing through another before pulling the blade straight out and twirled it flicking the blood off. Naruto then turned and caught the wrist of a Chunin coming at him with a kunai and planted the kunai into his throat before taking the kunai and threw it into another Anbu. Naruto then dodged again and twisted his right wrist making a blade launch out and pierce the skull killing the individual before he twisted and two darts launched out of his gauntlets making the two they hit pause and grab their heads as they roared out before they began striking at their allies with increased strength and ferocity while Naruto just dodged and killed more and furthered it when he pulled out three items and threw them to the middle of the attacking force creating large explosions that took out a dozen of them each at least.
Outside the arena, everyone was in shock, horror, and awe as Naruto dismantled the small army that came to fight him and was doing it with grace and effectiveness of a true veteran and master fighter. The women, especially Tenten, Yugao, Samui, and Karui, could only look on in awe and slight arousal as they witnessed just how much of a gap in skill Naruto had over them and just how helpless they were against him. The awe, but no arousal thankfully, could be said for the males as well and Tsunade could tell why he said he specialized in army killing. She had assumed it was due to him fully using Shadow Clones, but now she was seeing him dismantle over a battalion of soldiers by himself, if with a bit of help from those strange animals of his, and showed no signs of fatigue or tiredness. It was as if he had been doing this for decades and it was as natural as breathing to him.
Danzo, Koharu, Himura, and several of the other idiots were all in shock, surprise, anger, and fear as they saw Naruto dismantle the so called elite Anbu that were Root and was doing so very easily and in front of the entire village and several foreign dignitaries. The allies of Naruto that weren't among those who fought or were women were watching with pride, admiration, or awe as he brought down enemy after enemy with little to no effort on his part. They all broke from their thoughts as Naruto sealed his sword away and held his arms open in invitation to the few remaining Root shinobi.
One came at Naruto and he dodged before grabbing the offending arm and breaking it before throwing the sword he was holding into another Root before Naruto slammed him to the ground and axed kicked him creating a large crater under him before Naruto rolled and grabbed a blade from another Root and cut open his torso making his guts and blood flow out. Naruto then parried the next attacker ran the blade through his chest before twisting and taking the blade from the one he just killed and double sliced another across the throat and twisting to cut another's legs out and cut his head off before he turned to the last and dropped the blades as he walked forward. The Root Anbu couldn't move before he finally struck at Naruto and Naruto dodged and slammed his hand into the Anbu's throat crushing it and making the Anbu fall dead. Naruto straightened his cloak and looked over the field seeing that there were easily a hundred corpses scattered across the field and he flicked his hidden blades cleaning them before recalled his knives and anything he used personally so no one could use it without his permission and popped his neck before turning to the crowd.
Naruto looked over the stunned and awed crowd, "Anyone else?" Naruto asked as he looked over the various people seeing none willing to face him now, "Then let this be a lesson to you fools who believe I am Kyubi: Cross me and you WILL die and this goes for those who wish to try anything in this village so long as I am under contract, whether that is to take someone visiting here or to take someone from here." He stated before he spread his arms out, "Here endeth the lesson." He stated before he gave a bow like a performer would and then turned and walked towards the exit of the stadium before the majority of his classmates began cheering for him with a few Daimyos and Kages joining in along with the Samurai.
Naruto was quickly joined by his three girls and they followed him into the waiting area where he promptly placed his forehead against Tsunami's while cupping Haku and Evie's cheeks, "I'm sorry you had to see that." He stated and they smiled before kissing him with Tsunami being on the lips and Evie and Haku being on the cheek.
"It's alright Naruto-kun, we know you had no choice and we understand it." She stated and he nodded before giving them a kiss to the forehead and they began heading back to the Namikaze Estates as Naruto already knew he had to attend the meeting that would be happening within an hour.
However, as they walked, Naruto knew they were being followed and had to suppress a smirk since he knew who it was, "Still not good enough, Kono." He stated before Konohamaru, Udon, and Moegi, who was sporting a healthy blush, appeared before them. Naruto smirked before he had the girls back up and he spread his arms before the three tackled him in a hug and he slid back slightly while chuckling, "It's good to see you three too, but I gotta get these three back to the Namikaze Estates and then attend a meeting so I can't catch up right now but I promise we will when I can." He stated as he ruffled Konohamaru and Udon's hair before looking to Moegi and seeing her blush before he smiled and she blushed more, "You've gotten even cuter, Moegi-chan." He stated making her imitate a tomato with Naruto's girls giggling and Konohamaru and Udon smirking at their Imouto knowing full well she had a massive crush on Naruto.
Naruto said goodbye to them and got back to the Namikaze Estates where he promptly settled down before he gave Haku and Evie instructions and told Evie to start training Tsunami in how to use a knife so she wouldn't be helpless if she had to fight. Naruto had then asked them not to look at the books in his study or at least not to do it yet, which they agreed to since he had a right to his privacy before he kissed them and then left for the tower.
Council Room
"Hokage-sama this is outrageous! That demon should have never been allowed back in the village!" Stated one civilian before the table in front of him exploded and he had a katana at his throat. The table was done via Tsunade while the Katana was curtesy of the general that watched Naruto and was named Mifune and he was here at the asking of the Fire Daimyo since Mifune had actually faced Kushina before and had admired her drive and personality and now had just as much or even greater respect for her son since he knew the way of the Samurai.
"Say one more word about him being a demon and I will kill you myself." Tsunade growled with the Councilman nodding slightly before Mifune retook his seat as he, the Spring Daimyo, Kazekage, and the Waterfall Kage were allowed to be there for the proceedings.
"Regardless of your personal feelings about the boy, he must be punished for killing and harming our shinobi and it must be costly." Danzo stated with the two elders and most of the civilians nodding while the rest sighed in exasperation.
"Were you not paying attention Danzo?" Tsunade asked making him frown, "Naruto clearly stated that the Daimyos and I signed the rules stating he was free to do as he pleased if someone challenged him, so you can't touch him… unless you want me to kill you right now for treason against myself and the Fire Daimyo." She stated making Danzo grit his teeth and the others to be shocked since they thought Naruto was bluffing about that, "Now, once Naruto gets here we can begin the meeting since he will be aiding Konoha now." She stated shocking them all before the idiots (the elders and most of the civilians) began shouting their protests before the sound of a blade being drawn out was heard and people saw Mifune getting very agitated.
"At the very least you should make the brat train an army for us so we can make up for what he cost us and then get ready to take on anyone that tries to threaten us." Danzo stated with many nodding before the sound of a blade scraping against something and laughter entered the room.
"Such foolish people there are in here, but I guess since Danzo is hurt I killed so many of his little pets he would want me to train some people so he could take them and learn my secrets." Naruto's voice echoed out making people tense even Hiashi did after he activated his eyes and found he couldn't find Naruto. Everyone then noticed Danzo being very stiff with his head tilted back before Naruto appeared out of thin air with a blade coming from his wrist being just under Danzo's chin, "You pride yourself on surviving two wars, but that is nothing compared to me. I have mastered the absolute basics of the Shinobi while combining it with that of the Samurai, Monk, warrior, and much more and I could have killed you at any time since I've been in here since you all came in." Naruto stated as his blade drew a thin line of blood from Danzo.
"I didn't even sense him!" Thought everyone with said capability as Naruto withdrew his blade and noticed the various clan heirs were there as well most likely to learn their responsibilities for when they were older and stood in front of them all.
"As for me training people, I probably will since I have two apprentices already, but I will be choosing who learns from me." He stated with the idiots fuming, "And before you even think of trying to order me, I will remind you that as I am Clan Head of the Namikaze and Uzumaki Clans, you cannot interfere with Clan affairs and only those that I accept as either allies of my clan or into my clan will be allowed to learn my arts." He stated with many gawking at him and bristling in anger.
"Nice try boy, but so long as we of the council have a say in the matter, you will never be a Clan Head." Himura stated and the other idiots nodded making Naruto smirk.
"Then I suppose it is fortunate that you don't get say." He stated making them frown in confusion as Naruto produced copies of the contract and handed them to every individual there except Tsunade and the Fire Daimyo, "What you have there is a copy of the contract created between myself, Tsunade-sama, and Lord Nobunaga with both of their seals of approval on it with each of the three of us having a copy of it." He stated as people began gawking, sweating, and seething as they saw the different conditions, "So you see, not only do several of you idiots owe me a substantial amount of money, but you get no say in me being Clan Head, in what work I do, trying to find out where I have been or what I was doing, you can't attack me without repercussions, you can't try to harm anyone under my protection without ramifications, or anything else concerning me even if a new Hokage is chosen.
Naruto stated and Tsunade nodded, "And since it has both the Fire Daimyo and my seal of approval on it, you can't revoke it unless you get a unanimous vote and the Hokage and Fire Daimyo approve of it." She stated with a smirk loving to watch the fools squirm in their seats having no power or authority to do anything.
Naruto then popped neck audibly, "If that is all, I'd like my rank so I can go home and continue unpacking from my time away." He stated and Tsunade nodded before she turned to the Fire Daimyo and he stood.
"Naruto, from what I saw in that arena today, the fact that you killed two S Ranked Missing Nin singlehandedly if with a bit of help from a student of yours, and the fact I know your parents could never have a weak child; I see no reason not to promote you to a rank rarely given: A Guardian Anbu. This is a rank very rarely given as it signifies you are of substantial skill and power that you can take S Rank missions by yourself and do the most important missions for both the village and Fire Country. This comes with Sannin level traveling rights, the first choice of any mission that requires a true level of skill and finesse to complete, and sole authority over you being reserved for myself and the Hokage, but it is also in your power to step down from this position at your own discretion and cannot be forced back into active duty and can only return under your own volition." He decreed shocking everyone but Naruto and he bowed to him with his hands out to his sides.
"I thank you, your highness, for this honor and I will ensure to bring nothing but honor and pride to it." Naruto stated with the Daimyo nodding while the idiots were all grinding their teeth.
"Daimyo-sama, he showed some skill yes, but he can't possibly be able to back up the title with the power needed since he clearly showed a great deal of his skills in the arena today." Koharu tried with a few actually thinking she had a point before Naruto started chuckling.
"You think that was me actually fighting? That was a warmup for me." He stated shocking many of them, "I train against several hundred clones every day to keep my skills and abilities up to par or to push them even further and I have several abilities that I have not even shown yet in addition to my vast array of jutsu." He stated shocking them and making many recall that he used two believed to be bloodline jutsu.
"Naruto-san, may I inquire as to how you were able to use Ice and Lava techniques?" Shino asked and Naruto gazed at him for a moment before shrugging.
"I trained in them, it took a few years but when you count in the fact I can use hundreds if not thousands of Shadow Clones without even getting winded, it isn't that surprising since I could do so daily." He stated and already could sense the wheels turning in Danzo's head.
"Most fortuitous indeed, then you can begin training the rest of our forces in how to do that at once since you possibly have the Wood style that Senju were famous for, which begs the question if the First ever had a bloodline to begin with, and we can tame any Biju or Jinchuriki that we come across." Danzo stated and Naruto rolled his eyes.
"Hmm, let me think about it… no." He stated making many sputter in rage and disbelief and Naruto rolled his eyes again, "You people really need to retire if your memory is this bad, but let me spell it out for you. You. Can't. Order. Me. To. Do. Jack. Shit. I. Only. Work. For. The. Fire. Daimyo. And. The. Hokage." Naruto stated slowly and mockingly making the idiots even more infuriated, "And even if I were to try and train people, I'm the only one that can make that many Shadow Clones and not pass out or die so I could weaken the village more by having several try to learn it but it wouldn't end well." He stated making Danzo frown since it was true that Naruto was probably the only one alive that could make that many clones and still be ready to do more, "Also, I'd be willing to bet that the Senju Bloodline isn't Wood Style, it's the ability to easily combine the two elements into one of the Bloodline styles and for the First it was Wood since he had Earth and Water, but his brother only had water which is why his water affinity was so strong since his bloodline was compensating." Naruto stated and many blinked in astonishment since they hadn't considered that before and Naruto then rolled his neck and moved to leave, "Well, I'll go wait in your office Tsunade-sama since I am sure there is a few things to iron out."
He stated and she nodded before dismissing the meeting and left to go to her office with the Fire Daimyo and the guests retiring since they had nothing else to do at the moment. When Tsunade entered her office, she saw Naruto standing at the window overlooking the village, "You know, I always loved this view." Naruto stated absentmindedly as he gazed out before turning to Tsunade who seemed to be suppressing her urges and he smiled before he opened his arms and she was at him in an instant hugging him and he chuckled as he returned the hug, "It's alright Tsunade, I'm real." He stated as she nodded into his chest with tears in her eyes before a knock at the door made her have to let him go and she took her seat before Shizune came in.
"Tsunade-sama, I have the few forms you needed to finalize Naruto-kun being a Guardian Anbu." Shizune stated as she came in and smiled at Naruto, who returned the smile, before she set a few papers on the desk.
"Thank you Shizune, but don't leave. After Naruto fills out a few forms, I'll need you to give him a physical just to update the logs." Tsunade stated and Shizune nodded while Naruto sighed slightly.
"Tsunade, is there a way that someone else could do it?" He asked and Tsunade frowned, "It's not so much that I don't think Shizune can do it, but it would probably be better if she didn't." He stated and they were confused and concerned before he sighed and raised his hand before pointing to his ring finger which had a scar over it, "Please, trust me." He stated and they widened their eyes before Tsunade nodded.
"Shizune, please have one of the more… open minded doctors that Lord Nobunaga picked to replace some of the hospital staff perform the examination." She ordered and Shizune nodded knowing her lady would want a copy afterwards and left the room before Naruto made a few clones and each took a paper and read over them thoroughly to ensure none of Danzo's people tried to put anything inside that wasn't agreed upon before he nodded and the clones each signed a page before putting them back in order and popping, "Alright, that does it for the paperwork, now you just need the physical and we will be set." She stated and he nodded before he left and headed for the hospital knowing he would be back tonight as Tsunade would be on the verge of breaking down after reading his medical history.
Four hours later
True to his concerns, when he came back into the office via an open window, Tsunade was there sobbing as she read the report stating his broken bones, scars, tortures, and everything else he had endured while away and knew it was breaking her heart. Tsunade stiffened as she felt strong arms wrap around her before the voice of the man she cared about entered her ears, "See why I didn't want Shizune to do it? She would have broken down before we got halfway through." He stated before she eeped as he picked her up and took her to the couch and sat her down on his lap with her clutching to him as she cried into him and he held her and stroked her hair as he whispered sweet things into her ear.
After a few minutes, she settled down and Naruto smiled as he wiped her tears away and she found herself blushing, "You know I had another reason for coming here, I had a debt to pay to you." He stated and she frowned while he smiled, "I never noticed your feelings before, so here is the principal." He stated as he kissed her forehead right on her jewel, "Here is the interest." He stated as he kissed her nose making her giggle, "And here is the down payment." He stated before he kissed her on the lips and she returned it while wrapping her arms around his neck as he held her to him and his tongue began playing with hers with her moaning as she was finally kissing the man she had wanted for years.
After a minute or so, they had to pull apart for air, "Would you like to go out with me, Tsunade-chan?" He asked and she blushed and had a flash of happiness in her eyes before she looked down with a frown on her face.
"Do you really want to go out with an old woman like me when there are women younger that would love to be you and would it work with me being older than you?" She asked and then whipped her head up as he started chuckling and she frowned, "What?!" She stated with a frown, but said frown vanished when he gave her a light kiss.
"If anyone is the cradle robber here Tsunade, it's me." He stated making her frown in confusion and he chuckled before kissing her forehead again, "I'll explain at another time, but for now you need to get some sleep since I need to request some time away for a little while, but I'll stay until after the Chunin Exams to ensure nothing happens during it." He stated and she frowned as she just got him back and didn't want him to leave so soon.
"Can I at least ask why?" She asked and he smiled before kissing her cheek making her smile slightly since she liked getting the affection.
"I'm going recruiting." He stated and she widened her eyes and he placed his finger over her lips, "I'm going regardless, but I'll let you pick two or three people to go with me if you are that worried about it, but my girls will be staying in the compound and will need you or Shizune to get them things if they need anything and we can talk later after I get back." He stated and she reluctantly nodded and he smiled before giving her a loving kiss and she happily returned it before he pulled back and stood with her putting her feet down again, "I promise we'll talk and go on a date after I come back, but for now you need to get some rest." He stated before giving her another light kiss and she nodded before kissing his cheek and he smiled before kissing her hand and left while giving her a wink making her blush and smile.
"He's such a charmer." She stated while unknowingly a certain purple haired Anbu that decided to watch over her lady for the night thought the same thing and wondered if she could get permission to go with him on his trip.
DONE! Naruto has shown his skills and is set to help Konoha and gotten the attention of several ladies, but he's gonna get some backup and support for him since he does need to make the Brotherhood in the Elemental Countries.
So I have most of the quality weapons from Assassin's Creed distributed such as Vlad Tepes' sword, Altaïr's sword, Brutus' Dagger, Washington's Sword, Volpe's bite, Bartolomeo's Axe, Captain Kidd's Sword, The Kenway Family Swords, Ezio's Yataghan sword, The depowered Sword of Eden, and so on. But if you think you have a person that will be a good recruit for Naruto, then feel free to give them and the weapon that you think would suit them.
So anyway the next chapter will be Naruto getting ready to leave, who is going with him, him doing some recruiting, dealing with idiots, and maybe a clash between him and someone(s).
Well, that should be it, see y'all later.
