Element Nations, Land of Fire, Konohagakure, Hokage Tower
Artemis walked thou the building making her way over to the main office of the building.
She slowly approached a door that led her to someone who had failed her like her old teammates had.
She opened the door, and she spotted the man.
Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hiruzen had tan skin with short spiked grey hair and a small goatee, his face was gaunt with wrinkles and liver spots with a single line running vertically under the outer corners of each eye, which stretched down into his face as he aged until they reached his cheeks and he was dressed in a red, full-length kimono that is tied using a white sash.
Hiruzen looked up in shock at seeing Artemis, "How," He started to say, but she cut him off.
"Were are the scrolls and I left you," Artemis asked him as he looked at her confused, "The scrolls that we wanted Naruto to have so that he could know who he was and be ready to fight for Konoha," She explained with narrowed eyes as Hiruzen looked at her.
He said nothing to her before slightly moving his hand as Anbu jumped out to try and restrain her.
The keyword would try.
As the Anbu got close to her, chains shot out of her and slammed the Anbu into the walls around the office Hiruzen looked shocked, "It really is you," He muttered as he looked at her.
"The scrolls," Artemis said as if she was not holding back Anbu, "Hand them over to me so that I can teach my son who he is, you lying pig," She told Hiruzen as the Hokage looked at her.
"How are you alive," He asked her, not moving from the desk, "I saw you after you were run thou by the claw of the Kyūbi," He said as Artemis growled at him.
"Answer the fucking question," She told him as Hiruzen looked at her.
"He was not ready," He told her before he was wrapped up in chains, squeezing his life out.
"So, like the rest of this village, you decide to spit on Minato's memory," She said as Hiruzen narrowed his eyes at her.
"What about you saying away from your son then," He told her as her eyes drilled into him.
"My mortal body got turned into the moonlight as well as gods can't raise their children," Artemis said as Hiruzen's eyes when he heard her, "That's right, I'm a goddess," She told him as the elderly Hokage looked frightened by her.
"Now then, I wonder should tell my brother about my son, and he can kill you and stop all medicine from working in Konoha except on a select few," Artemis asked, and Hiruzen saw the truth in her eyes.
"Have we really done anything to deserve punishment," He asked her as her eyes started to glow angrily.
"Beatings, burns, stabbings, broken bones, poisoning, electrocuted, drowned, hunted like an animal and starved," Artemis listed as Hiruzen knew Naruto's medical history, "So do you think that Konoha deserves punishment from an angry goddess for the torment that her son has had to be under," Artemis growled out as Hiruzen looked down.
"I could do nothing to stop them," He told her, but she scoffed at him.
"You, the Hokage, your world in Konoha is law, and those that go against that word should no longer be living," Artemis said as Hiruzen looked down, "You're a failer of a man; no calling you a man would be an insult to men you are nothing but filth," She told him as Hiruzen looked at her and he saw the spirit of his wife looking at him with the same hate Artemis was looking at him with.
His eyes then moved to the pitcher of his predecessors and successor, and for some reason, they looked like they were frowning at him.
"Left side third draw," He told Artemis, who walked over to the draw and saw the scrolls she was looking for.
One was black with red stripes and the Uzumaki clan symbol over it, while the other was white with a red flame patterning across the top and bottom.
She picked up both scrolls and released her chains, and everyone that was being held by them fell to the floor.
She then started to glow as Hiruzen's voice stopped her form from teleporting for a moment, "Is Naruto alright," He asked her as she looked at him and she saw the face of her mortal grandfather.
"The dragon summoning clan has taken him, and he has gained them as a summon while I'm teaching him what was supposed to be taught to those at the academy," Artemis said as Hiruzen looked confused.
"What do you mean," He asked her as Artemis stopped growling.
"He had weighted Kunai and Shuriken while he only really knows the standard three and the Leaf Concentration Practice for chakra control, which would never help him, both the Fūnyū no Jutsu and Kaifū no Jutsu and finally the Bunshin, Kawarimi and the Henge while from what Naruto has told me, Kakashi has only taught him the Ki Nobori no Shugyō which should have been thought to him in the academy," Artemis said as Hiruzen's eyes shot wide.
"That is all they teach there," He asked her as his eyes slowly started to show deep anger, "That explains so much," He growled as he began to sand up.
"What do you mean," Artemis asked him as Hiruzen turned to her.
"The year before Naruto's, they had a boy who had hardly any chakra, but I saw failer reports that talk about this boy, the same as Naruto," Hiruzen said as Artemis narrowed her eyes.
"It seems that I can not hold all the blame on you then," Artemis told him as Hiruzen started to walk out the door before he stopped but headed for the bookshelf he had and pulled something off it before handing it to Artemis.
"Give this to Naruto and tell him that I can only hope that I fix the problem that I let build," He told her before he walked out, and most of the Anbu followed him, leaving Artemis in the room with a female Anbu with a cat mask.
They both sat in silence before Artemis turned to the Anbu, "What do you want, Uzuki," She asked them; the Anbu flinched before taking off her mask as she looked at Artemis.
"Sensei I," she said before Artemis looked at her with a burning hatred.
"Don't fucking call me that, as you no longer deserve to be called my student," Artemis spat out, "I'm only here to aid my son and show him his other half of the world before rejoining my hunt," She said before she teleported out as the Anbu then fell to her knees sobbing.
Summoning Realm, Shinki Sekai
It had been three and a half days since Artemis teleported to Konoha.
(Time difference: three hours element nations = half a day summoning realm)
After he learned how to properly Suimen Hokō no Gyō while after he had made done that, his granduncle told him that an easy way to master it would be to fight his clones on the water.
And he did as water walking became second nature to him as he was not even thinking about it as he and his clone fought.
The next day Naruto was taught how to move fast enough to make an afterimage, how to hit nerves in the body as well as how to block the tenketsu and how to let his body react with his instinct, and it helped that he was a demi-god when he was training with this as his body was moving better by learning this.
On the third day, Naruto was taught how to use the Kanchi no Jutsu, which would fit into his Jinchūriki ability to sense negative emotions.
On the fourth day is when something strange happened when Artemis returned.
She appeared near the cave holding the leader of the dragon's summon before making her way down to where she could sense her son before she heard a scream that belonged to him, so she started running at full speed to find out what had happened to him.
And when she found him, she saw him looking into the water at his reflection, "Naruto, what the matter," Artemis asked him as Naruto turned to her, and Artemis dropped the scrolls in her hand to look into Naruto's eyes.
They were purple with concentric circles that looked to be covering eyes, "Rinnegan," Artemis muttered as she looked at her son.
"What," Naruto asked her.
"Those eyes belonged to the Rikudō Sennin," Artemis said as she walked over to her son examining his eyes.
The dragon also came out to look and join in on the shock.
"How did you," Artemis asked as she looked at her son.
"I think that I can answer that," A voice said as everyone turned to see a man who was dressed in a white, full-length kimono with a pattern of six black magatama around a high collar; the strange thing was that he was floating above six black orbs.
He was a tall and pale-skinned man who had deep wrinkles and a strong jawline in his elderly age with spiky, shoulder-length, pale brown hair with a chin-length, braided lock hanging in front of his left ear; he sported a goatee that tapered down to his waist.
He had a pair of horn-like protrusions extending from either side of his forehead and the Rinnegan a red Rinnegan-like marking in the centre of his forehead.
"It's good to see you, old friend," Asgorath said as Artemis and Naruto fell to their knees, as Naruto was following what his mother was doing, "Naruto, Artemis, meet Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, or as you know him as the Rikudō Sennin," The leader of the dragon clan started.
"Rikudō Sennin-sama," Artemis said as he turned to her with a slight smile.
"Arise, Artemis," He told her as Artemis slowly stooped up before he turned to Naruto, "Naruto Uzumaki, I am guessing you are wondering why you have the Rinnegan," The Rikudō Sennin asked Naruto, who nodded.
"Yes," Naruto said as he looked up at the man.
"I am fixing a mistake that I made all those years ago," He told Naruto, who looked confused, "Let me tell you a story," Hagoromo asked the blond, who nodded.
"Many years ago, before this time, I had two children, Indra, my eldest and Asura, my youngest," The Rikudō Sennin told Naruto, who nodded but was confused by the information that he was given, "When it was time to pass on to the next plain I asked my children to do a task and sent each one to different towns and the one that done the best job would be named my successor," Hagoromo said as Artemis narrowed her eyes.
"While Asura gained allies like I once did, Indra slaughtered his town, so I named Asura my heir," The Rikudō Sennin told them as they absorbed this information, "Indra and Asura fought from that day onward they fought, but the fighting did not stop with them there children got involved, as Indra had a son and a daughter while Asura has two sons," He explained to them as Artemis' eyes shot wide.
"Our clan's story," She said as Naruto looked over to her along with the dragon, Hagaromo and a recently turned-up Amaterasu.
"What story, Mom" Naruto asked her.
"The story goes that the sage has two children, he who is hate and he who is compassion; during the years, both had children; he who is hate had two children, the son of hate and the daughter of passion; while he who is compassion had two sons, the son of compassion and the son of affection," Artemis said as Hagaromo nodded, "It was said that the son of affection and daughter of passion fell in love with one another and wanted no part of there fathers fighting but he who is hate banished his daughter to a distant iland so that she can spend the rest of her day there alone, but he who is compassion allowed his son to go there and then both passion and affection used there chakra to form the whirlpools around that iland to form the Land of Whirlpools," Artemis said as the Rikudō Sennin nodded.
"The one your clan calls he who is hate was my son Indra and the one they called he who is compassion was Asura," Hagaromo said as Artemis nodded, "And while I watched my grandchildren fight, I should have awakened something that their child should have had," He told everyone that was there.
"The Rinnegan," Naruto said as the Rikudō Sennin nodded once more, "So why didn't you," Naruto asked him.
"The two other clans that come from Indra and Asura had caught my attention over the years, but now, with you, I see that it was wrong for me to do that, so I have awakened it for you," Hagaromo said as Naruto nodded, "And I have made it slightly better than the original Rinnegan," Hagaromo told Naruto who looked confused.
"The first is that, while they will always have the concentric circles, you can turn them from purple to your normal eye colour; yours can also evolve like the Sharingan," Hagaromo said as Naruto nodded, "You will have every possible ability the Rinnegan and Sharingan could give, and it can use the power of the eyes that came after it," Hagaromo said before he floated over to Naruto and infected for him to stand.
"You will also have all of their abilities as well and a given when you are ready," The Rikudō Sennin told him as he held out both his hand, "Connect your chakra with mine, and I can awaken these abilities," He said to Naruto who nodded as he raised his hands and for a moment he felt his hands get the form for a moment before he lowered his hands.
Hagaromo nodded as he started to fade away, "You will be able to pass on the Rinnegan to your children, and the Uzumaki shall be the ones that can balance the worlds," He said before he faded.
No one said anything as Naruto started to slowly turn to his mother, "Your going to train me even harder, aren't you," Naruto asked her as she nodded.
Artemis picked up the scrolls she dropped before walking over to her son, "Here are the things that your father and I left for you," She told him as Artemis handed him the scrolls.
Naruto looked at the scrolls before setting them down and unrolling them with the Uzumaki clan symbols.
He first saw that there was a note from his mother, then he moved bast then and found that there were storage seals over it; as he looked up at his mother, "All of those things were from either me or from our clan," Artemis told him as Naruto nodded as started at the first seal before releasing what was within it.
A plume of smoke formed, and once the wind blew it away, it showed a katana with a black blade and a bandage-wrapped hilt.
"That sword belonged to your grandfather," Artemis said as she looked at the sword, "He got it from his father," She informed Naruto, who nodded as he picked up the sword.
"What's her name," Naruto asked as he looked at the Katana Artemis looked confused, "I don't know why, but I know that this sword is female," Naruto said as he looked over the sword.
"From what Otou-san told me, her name is Yōtō," She told him as Naruto nodded before placing Yōtō next to him and then unsealing a scroll.
Naruto then opened it, "Kongō Fūsa," He read.
"That was one of my own trump cards where your father had his Hiraishin no Jutsu," Artemis said as Naruto nodded before moving to the next it was another scroll, but with his newly awakened sensory skills, he saw something different, "That is our family tree, and it hold every Uzumaki like and will grow with each one born," Artemis explained as Naruto put the before he moved onto the next storage seal and unsealed the next scroll.
"Shishō Fūin," Naruto glanced at the scroll before unsealing the next scroll, "Hakke no Fūin Shiki," Naruto said as he looked over the scroll.
The next thing that was unsealed was bags that looked filled to the brim with money.
"All of those bags hold the entirety of the Uzumaki clan fortune," Artemis said as Naruto's eyes shot wide open.
Before he could dwell on the cash right in front of him, he moved on to the next and final item: a mask.
A mask that covered his mouth, to be exact, and it looked like it came from an Oni, "What's this," Naruto asked his mother.
"That was my mortal mother's mask, but I do not have a clue what it does," Artemis said as Naruto nodded, "Mom, like me, was better known by another name, and while I was the Akashi, she was the Shihohei," Artemis said as a smile formed on her face.
"Now then, your training," Artemis said with a smile but for some reason Naruto saw the face of the Shinigami behind her laughing.
Four Days Later
Naruto stood ready to return to his team as his mother, grandmother, bears, wolves, and dragon stood around him, "You ready, Naruto," Artemis asked her son, who nodded.
Over a few days (A day and twelve hours), Naruto had grown a little bit, and he had hand-changed his clothes; he had an orange camp shirt that was under a black kosode with black hakama that had his shuriken holster on his right and an orange hakama-himo, black sandals coved his feet, and the blue fabric of his Hitai-ate was now orange, and the Yōtō was on his back.
He had also grown his hair out somehow as his hair had grown to become waist-long with shoulder-length bangs framing the sides of his face, covering most of his right eye, and for some reason that is unknown to all is that it is natural for his hair when gown out to turn from blonde slowly into crimson.
"Yeah, I'll be Chūnin soon," Naruto said with a smile as he pulled the mask that used to belong to his mortal grandmother onto his face hiding his mouth, "Then I'll visit that camp you told me about," Naruto said as Artemis nodded.
"Kunou, you watch over him, alright," Amaterasu said to the fox at Naruto's feet, who nodded at the sun goddess.
The fox named Kunou looked like a mixture of Fennec and Arctic Fox with golden fur and an old Uzumaki Hitai-ate wied around her neck.
Shōsan walked up to Naruto as he looked the Jagras in the eyes, "I'm going to send you back to where you were. Are you ready," He asked the blond, who nodded before he was covered in smoke.
Konohagakure, Training Ground 44 Forest of Death
Naruto and Kunou were recalled to the Forest of Death. As they looked around, and Kunou saw something on the ground, "Naruto, it seems that Sharpshot was right," Kunou said to Naruto.
And then Naruto felt a point of his brain point to some point far away, "That but be Sakura," Naruto thought as Kunou jumped onto Naruto's shoulder as they jumped up to a branch.
He moved fast thou the trees as he would sometimes vanish from his original point and reappear ten branches ahead, "Are you sure that you should be using Shunpo," Kunou asked Naruto as said blond was getting closer to the point his brain was telling him.
"Yes, and something is telling me that something bad has happened to my team," Naruto told Kunou, who nodded as she got ready to fight.
As they moved thou the first, a loud bang rang as Naruto picked up his pace before landing in a tree.
Naruto narrowed his eyes as he looked down at the people on the forest floor.
First, there were his teammates Sakura, who was awake, and Sasuke, who was knocked out.
Then there was the person he had met before: a boy a year older than him with a black bowl haircut dressed in a green full-body suit with orange leg warmers.
And then there was the team that Naruto knew belonged to the Oto Genin.
"So what do we do," Kunou asked Naruto thou her thoughts as Naruto started to form a javelin of water in his hands.
Kunou hunched on Naruto's shoulder as she saw that he was going for the attack.
The Oto nin that had bandages over them started to run at the Konoha Genin, and that was when Sakura threw a Kunai at him, and the grey in the body suit shoved his hand into the ground.
The Oto nin jumped over the Kunai as the boy pulled out a tree root off the ground, and that was Naruto's signal as he threw the javelin at the Oto nin.
The javelin hit the Oto genin in the back, and then he faceplanted the tree root, "What the," The Oto Kunoichi said as she and her teammate looked around.
Naruto jumped off the tree with his right leg forward as they looked around and called out, "Ryū Entorī."
The Oto Genin looked up just in time to see their leader take a kick to the face before he got blasted into the earth beneath him.
Sakura looked at Naruto, and she never thought she would want to hear his voice, "Hello there," Naruto said as he landed.
The Oto nin looked both shocked and annoyed that Naruto was there, "So you're not dead," The other male, Oto nin, said as he looked at Naruto, who looked over at him.
Naruto ignored him as he looked down at Sakura, "You alright, Sakrua-chan," Naruto asked her as she nodded.
And Sakura then saw that Naruto's eyes had changed as he had one look was purple, while the other was purple with a silver tint to it that was covered in concentric circles.
Naruto levelled a glare with his Rinnegan at the Oto nin with his hands making a claw-like hand.
"Don't act tough," The nin that looked like a mummy came at Naruto from behind with his arm forward that had the weird gauntlet.
Naruto moved the gauntlet out of the way with one of his had while he pushed one finger into the ninja with a fast strike, and it went into his shoulder bone of him.
"Shinra Tensei," Naruto called out as the Oto nin was sent flying backwards by some unseen force as he rolled over the ground.
Naruto then burst forward as the other two Oto Genin was surprised by their teammate saw Naruto coming at them before he jumped into the air and shifted his form.
His hands turned into paws as his body became lean, and his hair grew out and around his neck into a mane; his body took on a feline-like body, and he turned into a lion.
He landed on the male ninja that was not sent flying and bit into his arm as he used it to defend agest the lion.
"Zaku," The kunoichi cried as she tried to get closer, but the now-named Zaku raised his other arm to Naruto's head and called out, "Zankūha."
A blast of wind shot out of his palm, but before it could hit Naruto, his teammate was in his place.
"Kin, what the fuck did you do-," Zaku called out to her, but Naruto, still in his lion form, jumped onto his back before breaking his arm with his weight.
Kin got up to see Naruto pinning down Zaku, and then a sickening crunch rang out as she saw that Zaku's arm broke before running over to Sakura and holding a Kuni to her throat, "Back off, or I'll slit her throat," Kin called out to Naruto but found herself on Zaku's back with Naruto behind Sakura.
"What the fuck is happening," Zaku said as he pushed Kin off him. As he got up to his feet with his broken arm bleeding before, he saw something on Kin's head, "What the," He as saying before the something turned out to be Kunou, who let out a torrent of blue flame at him before jumping off Kin's head and landing in front of Sakura who was stunned and amazed by what had happened.
Kin turned to see Nauro gathering chakra in his mouth that was glowing red before a beam shot out, she was bearly got out of the way, and it still hit her arm and burnt it as she clutched it.
All three Oto Genin saw Naruto walking around Sakura with his fangs dripping in Zaku's blood; as the bandaged Oto Genin walked with a limb arm and glared at Naruto, "Dosu, what do we do," Kin asked him as Dosu looked at her.
"We leave," Dosu growled out as all three of them got ready to jump.
"Leave your scroll, or I think my teammate will go after you," Sakura said as Naruto locked eyes with all three of them, and they saw that she was right, so Zaku threw the scroll over to her with Kunou catching it in her mouth and the three Oto genin jumped off as Naruto shifted back to his human form.
He then turned to Sakura with a smile as he smiled at Sakura and pulled down his Oni mask, "So what happened when I was gone," Naruto asked her as Sakura looked at him gobsmacked.
"What did, how did, who is, what," Sakura stammered as she looked around.
"What did I do, how did I do what I did, and who is this sitting in front of you," Naruto asked her as Sakura nodded, "Well, what I did was defend and save a beautiful girl that was moulded by Aphrodite herself, I used my Dōjutsu and some of its abilities to beat them around before using an ability that I have thanks to my mother to turn into a lion, and she is Kunou," Naruto listed for Sakura as Kunou walked over to Naruto and gave him the scroll.
Sakura looked confused by what he was saying, "Who is Aphridute, and you have a Dōjutsu," Sakura asked as she got up to her feet, "Is it like the Sharingan," She asked him as they both walked over to have a sit-down.
"Oh, you sweet Theros child, no, the Rinnegan is the eyes of the Rikudō Sennin," Naruto said before the boy in the body suit walked over.
"And Aphrodite is the goddess of love, beauty, lust, sexuality, desire and pleasure," Naruto said to Sakura, who started to blush at him, saying that the goddess of beauty made her, "Your turn," Naruto said as Sakura nodded.
"After Orochimaru threw you into the forest, and they attacked us and bit Sasuke," Sakura told Naruto, who looked confused, "Sasuke then gained a tattoo like the one you have on your stomach that holds back the Kyūbi," Sakura said as Naruto looked at her.
The boy in the green body suit looked shocked at what Sakura had just said, "He has what," He asked.
"Where is the seal," Naruto asked Sakura as she pointed at Sasuke's neck.
Naruto approached his downed teammate and carefully looked at Sasuke's neck before spotting something.
It was three tomoe circling each other.
"What the" Naruto muttered as he saw Sasuke sweating, "Lee can you help me for a moment," Naruto asked the boy in the body suit, who nodded.
"What do you need, Naruto-san," Lee asked him as he walked over.
"Carefully lift Sasuke up and support him. I need him sitting," Naruto said as Lee nodded, and both of them got Sasuke sitting.
Before Naruto could have a better look at the marking on his neck, flame-like patterns started to come out of the mark, but before it could, Naruto quickly placed a hand on Sasuke's shoulder and pressed a finger in like one would a piano.
The flame-like patterns stopped crawling over the Uchiha, "Naruto-san," Lee asked Naruto as he saw Naruto narrow his eye at the marking.
"If that is what I think it is, then we need to get to the tower as soon as possible and inform the Hokage-jiji," Naruto said as Lee looked confused while Sakura looked frightened.
"What do you think it is," She asked him as Lee nodded.
"I believe it is called a curse seal that is a vile yet beautiful thing," Naruto said as he pressed Sasuke's shoulder with another finger, "It draws on the mind of those that have the seal placed on them, and while it's like a drug, only someone that wants to use it for power can draw out its full power," Naruto told the two of them.
"Can you remove it," Lee asked Naruto.
Naruto let forward to examine the seal closer before Naruto shook his head, "No, and even if I was able to do just that, I don't think that it would come off," Naruto said as Lee looked at him.
"What do you mean," Sakura asked him.
Naruto looked over to her with a frown, "A curse seal is a parasite that, once placed, you need to find a way to seal it, but the only work if the person that has the curse seal does not want power," Naruto said as Sakura nodded, "But the person who places the seal normally leaves a portion of their soul or chakra inside the seal," Naruto told her as Sakura's eyes shot wide open.
"Can't you remove it or stop the seal like Orochimaru did with you," She asked Naruto, who shook his head, shocking her, "Why," She asked as Naruto let out a sad sigh.
"The seal that holds back the Kyūbi is called a Hakke no Fūin Shiki, and it was made to link my chakra with the Kyūbi, but Orochimaru used something called Gogyō Fūin, and that was made for people like me so that it makes sure the jinchūriki is kept in check," Naruto said as Lee nodded along with Sakura, "A curse seal does not hold back a bijū, but it does work on the chakra but unlike bijū chakra it sents the vile chakra into the normal chakra and tricking the body in thinking that it's normal chakra," Naruto told them.
"What do you mean," Sakura asked.
"Our bodies can only handle chakra that we humans make," Naruto said as Sakura nodded, "But for a jinchūriki, we have to hold back a bijū, so we are given seals that slowly trickle the bijū chakra into use, well that is the case for me so that we can use it but the seal that we have stopped use from chakra poisoning," Naruto told Sakura who got it.
"But the curse seal does not do that," Sakura said slowly as what Naruto was telling her got to her brain, "With Sasuke wanting to kill someone and he said he needs power, so the curse seal will feed that," She said as Naruto nodded sadly before he looked to the sky.
"It's going to be dark soon," Naruto said as he turned to Lee, "You head back to your team; I got things here," Naruto told him as Lee nodded before he jumped off.
Naruto laid Sasuke back down and pulled out Kunai, which had a yellow tag that dangled on end, before placing them around Sasuke.
Naruto then formed the snake seal as golden chains burst out of each Kunai and formed a net above Sasuke, "That should stop him if he goes baserke," Naruto said as he walked over to a tree root and sat down as Sakura saw that the purple of his eyes turned blue and blue-silver, but they kept the concentric circles.
Naruto pulled out a brown scroll before setting it on the ground and unrolling it, and Sakura saw seals over it before Naruto unsealed meat and some vegetables.
He then crossed his fingers and summoned three clones, who walked off to gather firewood.
Naruto formed the tiger seal before calling out, "Mokuton: Kiseisaku," and the roots around Naruto grew out of the ground and started to weave together and form a table.
He then unsealed a knife that looked to be made out of silver and started to cut up the meat; Sakura walked over to him and saw him move his knife quickly and perfectly cut the meat, "I didn't know you could cook," Sakura said as she watched him.
"My summons taught me how," Naruto told her as Kunou nodded.
"You gained a summons," Sakura asked him as Naruto moved onto the vegetables while nodding at her, "When," She asked him.
"After Orochimaru placed the Gogyō Fūin on me, you tried to save me, and what Kunou tells me is I used Kariudo no Māku on you; I fell to the forest floor, was almost killed by a tiger if not for a pack of wolves; three bears and Kunou and then one of my summonses which was looking for someone to be a summoner found me bought me to there home were time flows different, removed the Gogyō Fūin and worked with my mother and grandmother to train me," Naruto said with one breath as Sakura looked shocked before her eyes narrowed slightly.
"You met your mother and grandmother," Sakura asked him as Naruto nodded, "Then why aren't you living with them," She asked as Naruto gained a sad smile.
"All I can say is that there are rules that my mother and grandmother have to follow, and they hate them," Naruto said as one clone came back with water while the other started to make a fire pit.
He then moved the camping pot over to the fire pit before he took the water from the clone and pored it to the pot; he then knelt down and snapped his fingers, and a small trail of fire jumped out of his fingers and into the firewood, that stared to turned into a campfire.
Naruto returned to cooking while Sakura watched him, and she would have never known that seeing Naruto cook looked so cool.
The way he handled a knife, how he cut the meat, and the way he prepared everything.
Not to mention the Kunou, but before she could talk more, Lee returned with his team as Naruto looked out the corner of his eye at them.
The first was the kunoichi of the team, who wore a pink sleeveless qipao-style blouse with red sleeve trimmings, yellow fastening buttons, dark green pants with A pouch adjusted to her thigh, and her forehead protector and sandals were both blue.
She had dark brown hair and eyes with her hair up and put into two buns, making it look like she had panda ears.
Then there was Lee's male teammate, who had fair skin and dark brown hair tied back into a loose ponytail tied a few inches above the end and featureless pale lavender eyes.
He wore a beige-coloured shirt, a soft blue shirt beneath that, and mesh armour beneath that with dark brown shorts, blue shinobi sandals, and wrapped bandages around his right arm, chest, and right leg, and he wore a black forehead protector under which was a smaller headband with two straps that frame the sides of his face.
"How can I help you, Lee," Naruto asked him as his teammate narrowed his eyes at Naruto.
"Naruto is it alright if my team spend the night here," Lee asked him as he walked over to Naruto with a smile.
Naruto gained a small smile, "Sure, Lee, do you want something to eat," Naruto asked him.
"Why are you only talking to Lee," His female teammate asked Naruto with narrowed eyes as Naruto looked over at her.
"Maybe because I don't know your name," Naruto said as he set out four plates and summoned a clone who walked over to a stone.
"Oh," She muttered as she looked sheepish as the clone walked back with the stone and gave it to Naruto.
Lee's male teammate looked at Naruto before holding his hand out, "Hand over your scroll, it has been fated that we would meet, and if we fight, I wo-," He was saying before he felt a great weight on him as he looked up and saw Naruto's eyes drilling into him.
Lee looked back and forth between the two of them before seeing that his teammate started to froth at the mouth, with tears beginning to fall from his eyes.
"Neji," The other kunoichi said as she looked at the boy on the floor who had taken out a kunai and was lifting it to his own thought before he came back to life and looked at Naruto, frightened.
"Wha-what was that," Neji asked Naruto as he looked up at the blond.
"Me putting you in your place," Naruto told him as he returned to the table and continued cooking.
Neji saw red and rushed Naruto with his Kunai ready, but Naruto spun around as things shot out of his sleeve and wrapped around Neji.
The thing that had burst out of his sleeve was two dragons that resembled giant snakes with long, serpent-like bodies that had a bright, brilliant colouration and pattern that served as an indication and warning to its extreme levels of toxicity, much like many other animals, it has numerous large fangs and teeth capable of injecting, transmitting, and spraying venom; In contrast, it did not have a forked tongue, it had a series of sharp spines of various shapes and sizes on the top of its head.
"Now you can behave, or I can have my dragons take a bite out of you, and that will kill, thanks to their venom," Naruto said as the snake-like dragons coiled around Neji, "Your chose," He added as the dragon bore their fangs at Neji.
Neji said nothing but dropped the Kunai, "Good chose," Naruto said as the dragon released Neji and turned to Naruto, "Alright here," Naruto said as he unsealed some fish that the dragons ate before they returned to the summoning realm.
Lee moved his team over to sit them down, "So what are we having," The Kunoichi asked as Sakura looked at her, and she soon realised that she still had not identified herself, "I'm Tenten," The now named Tenten told them.
"Travelers Stew," Naruto told her as she nodded as Naruto returned to cooking.
"Naurto, what do you summon," Sakura asked as Naurto looked over to her, "I mean, they looked like snakes, but," Sakura said before trying to find the right word.
"Stronger," Tenten asked as Sakura shook her head, "Meaner," She gave as Sakura nodded.
"Dragons," Naruto told her as Sakura looked shocked, "The type of dragons I used to restrain Neji are called Siltherwing, and I use them in a jutsu called Bakuryū Noroi," Naruto told them as they nodded, and Neji looked annoyed, "And if Neji had not stood down they would have bit him and with them being one of the most venomous dragons," Naruto said as Neji looked shocked now along with annoyed and if you looked in his eyes frightened.
A hush was soon over the small camp as Naruto cooked, so Sakura turned to Tenten, and the two started talking while Lee walked over to help Naruto while Neji brooded.
After ten minutes, the food was cooked; Naruto and Lee plated the food up with Naruto eating from the pot as Sakura looked at Naruto, "Is Sasuke going to starve," She asked him before she saw him point to Sasuke and saw one of the golden chain going into his stomach.
"I'm sending chakra to the chains at the same time I'm having to convert chakra into nutrients," Naruto said as a golden chain shot out of Naruto and linked with the other chains, "And while I turn my chakra into I'm also turning nutrients into chakra," Naruto said as the four others looked shocked.
They were amazed by what he was doing.
Neji could not believe it as, to him anyway, Naruto was a failure and would never do anything meaningful.
But here he was, doing something extremely risky but beneficial.
"How are you doing that, Naruto-san," Lee asked Naruto as Naruto gained a cheeky smile.
"It's a jutsu I made called Shokugi, and it's like the Akamichi calorie control," Naruto said as Lee looked amazed, "And to put it plainly, it turns the food I eat into chakra while taking all the nutrients and sending them to my muscles, bones, eyes and brain as well as hair," Naruto said as he as Sakura looked at his hair.
"Is that why it's so long," Sakura asked him as Naruto nodded.
"Yea, and I doing the same for Sasuke, but only with the nutrients," He told her as they nodded and continued eating.
And while they ate, no one saw that Naruto had put some food into the fire and sent out a prayer.
Once they finished, Lee got up and collected the plates before taking them to be washed as Tenten turned to Naruto, "Do you know how to use that," She asked Natruo as she pointed to the sword on Naruto's back.
"You mean Yōtō," Naruto asked as Tenten nodded, "Yea the dragons aided me in making a Kenjutsu style that I could pass on to my kids one day," Naruto said as Tenten nodded before she looked thoughtful.
"How about this in the morning, you and me and a Kenjutsu dule, and the winner takes the other's scroll," She asked Naruto, who nodded.
"Deal," Naruto said as they waited for Lee to come back; as he pulled out a yellow scroll before unsealing items that looked like a tent and sleeping bags; the other three looked at him strangely, "Mom was going to Konoha, so I gave her money to buy something that I would need, and she came back with this and some other things," Naruto said as they all nodded.
"How are we going to sleep with the Uchiha out here and us in a tent," Neji asked as Naruto looked at him.
"I'm going to use my Mokuton: Kiseisaku to build the trees together and move the roots around the tent so that it's hidden under the roots and for Sasuke," Naruto said as he pointed at the tent, "Put the tent over him when we put it up," He said as Neji nodded as moved over to Sasuke and started to put the tent up with Sakura and Tenten helping him.
After a few minutes and Lee returned and helped them; the tent was up as Naruto formed the tiger seal, and the trees started to bend to Naruto's will as they began to change shape with the roots, branches and trunks moving in a way that hit the tent from view unless you knew where to look.
"I'll take the first watch," Naruto said as he looked into the forest; everyone else nodded, "Then Neji, Sakura, Tenten and then Lee," Naruto said as they all nodded before they all went into the tent for the night.
The Next Day
After everyone had woken up and Naruto made everyone breakfast, he and Tenten, who had brought out a Katana, stood not that far from each other, with Naruto holding the Yōtō in his hand.
Naruto and Tenten looked at each other as the others looked on, with Sasuke still out like a light before a wind blew in and pushed a leaf off on the tree, and as it fell in the middle of them, they jumped at each other.
The moment their swords clashed, their eyes focused on one another before the Yōtō started to get coved in chakra.
Tenten saw that her Katana was getting cut, so she used a second sword and started to fight Nartuo back with two swords as Naruto tracked both swords fight them both off, "Kemono Kenryū- Taka Hikō," Naruto called out as he slashed at the air sending out a wave of air that pushed Tenten back.
Naruto then seemingly teleported in front of Tenten and cut thou one of her Katana.
"Kemono Kenryū is that your Kenjutsu style," Tenten asked him as Naruto gave a slight smile, as Tenten pushed him back, as Naruto stopped himself from falling over, "I don't have a Kenjutsu style myself, but I get by," She said as she zoomed in on Naruto who pushed her sword to the side.
"And then what happens if you hit a block," Naruto said as he blocked another strike from Tenten, "What will you do then," He asked her as she narrowed her eyes at him.
"Then I know I don't have what it takes to be a weapon's mistress," Tenten said as Naruto nodded but set out a sigh, "What," She asked him.
"Do you know what a sword is to a Kenjutsu user," Naruto asked her as she looked confused, "A sword to a Kenjutsu user is an extension of ourselves, and when I make a style or use a style, it forms a bond between us and our swords," Naruto said as the Yōtō gained a black aura around it that spread up to Naruto as his eyes glowed red.
Tenten watched this as she looked at her Katana as she saw the aura vanish, but the Yōtō started to glow a golden orange, and behind him, Tenten swore that she saw a wolf getting ready to attack, "Kemono Kenryū- Rōge Geppa," Naruto said as he slashed at the air and released a crescent wave of chakra as it cut thou Tenten's Katana and the rest of the forest behind her.
But Tenten did not see a crescent wave of chakra flying at her.
No.
She saw a golden wolf with glistening fangs ready to bite her, but all it did was bite thou her Katana and then the forest behind her, "Kemono Kenryū is the Kenjutsu of the wild, and I call on their ferocity to aid me in the fight," Naruto said as Tenten fell to her knees, "Always have a backup," Naruto said as he looked at Neji who threw him his teams scroll.
Kunou caught the scroll in her mouth like she did the scroll that belonged to the Oto in, and once Naruto saw that it was the one his team needed, he pointed out into the rest where his Kemono Kenryū- Rōge Geppa went, "I think I killed a team over there, and if I'm right they had both scrolls," Naruto said as Neji turned to look where Naruto was pointing before the veins around his eyes popped out as he looked at the spot before he looked back at Naruto with a nod.
After a while, and when Tenten had stood up, Neji and his team left, with Tenten looking back at Naruto, "Will you help me find a Kenjutus style that I could use," She asked him as Naruto nodded; she then jumped off with her team laving Naruto and Sakura with the unconscious Sasuke.
"Time to wake him up," Naruto muttered as Sakura looked anxious at the downed Uchiha.
Naruto activated the Rinnigan as Sakura saw that the blue turned to purple, even if one of them had a silver hint to it, and then the golden chains net turned into separate chains before joining to Naruto and pulled the Kunai out with them as they retracted.
Naruto held his hand out as a puff of smoke formed in his has as it showed a small robin.
It was the size of an average robin but had what looked like pierced wings.
It flew out of his hand and landed on Sasuke as Naruto got the Yōtō ready as he had the robin peck Sasuke, who started to stir, but Naruto kept his eyes on the seal.
Sasuke opened his eyes as he looked at both his teammates and the fox next to Naruto, "Naruto," Sasuke asked the blond, who narrowed his eyes at the Uchiha.
"How are you feeling," Naruto asked him as he gripped his sword.
"You," Sasuke said as he started to sit up.
"Fell, almost died, look different," Naruto asked as Saskue nodded, "I'll tell you later, but first, let's get out of here," Naruto said as Sakura nodded, but Sasuke looked down.
"I lost out a scroll," He told the blond with a growl, "How am I meant to be Chūnin if I lose that easy," Sasuke said as Sakura looked at him.
"Don't you mean how are we meant to become Chūnin," She asked him as Sasuke scoffed.
"Please, you are weak and only hold both me and the dope back, and I'm the only one strong enough to become Chūnin," Sasuke told her Sakura looked hurt by what he said, but Naruto walked over and put a hand on her shoulder.
Sakura looked over to him, and she saw caring eyes looking at her, "Don't listen to him," Naruto said as he looked over to Sasuke, who was getting up, "He only cares for himself," Naruto said as Sakura looked down and nodded.
They then turned to Sasuke, who was looking into the forest, "Sasuke," Sakura called out to him as he turned to her, "We already have the two scrolls," She told him as she held them up.
Sasuke's eyes widened before he scowled at her, "How did you get them," He asked her.
"Naruto fought back the Oto team to get a heaven scroll, and he beat Tenten from Lee's team in a duel to get our earth scroll," She informed Sasuke, who was getting angry with each word but got pissed when Sakura turned to Naruto and asked, "What's the plan now."
Sasuke was about to open his mouth, but Naruto crouched to the ground and slammed his hand down, "We ride," He told her as a sizeable jutsu formula formed beneath them before a plume of smoke formed.
When the smoke was blown away, it showed three bears of different sizes.
The biggest was adorned with two large vambraces with Greek meander around the top and the bottom, a pauldron over its left shoulder with a fox head and an Uzumaki Forehead Protector acting as a collar.
Then there was the bear with spiked claw gauntlets with an Uzumaki Forehead Protector tied around its left first leg.
Then the final bear which a spiked collar and chains around its front legs and an Uzumaki Forehead Protector on its head.
"Meet Alpha, Beta and Delta, the three bears that made sure that I did not get eaten by a tiger, along with Kunou and a large pack of wolves," Naruto said as he walked over to the middle-sized bear and started to stroke there head, "And these three are our way to the tower in the middle of the forest," Naruto said as Sakura nodded as the most miniature bear walked over to her and the biggest walked over to Sasuke.
Sakura climbed onto the bear, and Sasuke got on him while Naruto got on the third bear, and all three bears took off running thru the forest, and Sakura saw the way Naruto was riding as he seemed to move with the bear he was riding as she gained a slight smile at it.
As they ran through the forest, they soon started to gain a crowd running with them as it was wolves, a few foxes and more bears.
Genin teams that were heading for the tower watched this herd of animals with three humans charging thou the forest.
And to say they were freaked out was putting it lightly.
The herd burst thou the forest with Alpha, Beta and Delta taking them to the main door, "Thank you, three," Naruto told the bears as they slid off, and they walked over to him with the rest of the animals and started to nuzzle him.
A large bear walked over to the three bears that Naruto summoned before looking at the large bear that Naruto summoned, "Are you a summoned bear," They asked with a female voice.
"No, there are no bear summoning clans, but we joined the dragon so that he could be of use to the young lord," Naruto's bear said as the large bear nodded, "Do you wish to join us," They asked as the bear nodded along with the wolves and foxes as they turned to Naruto who raised a brow.
"Will you allow them, my lord," The bear that Naruto rode asked him.
"If they want to, Beta," Naruto said as he stroked the bear's head.
Beta joined the others as they returned to Shinki Sekai with the new arrivals.
Sakura walked over to him as Kunou jumped onto Naruto's shoulder, "What happened," She asked him.
"The bears, wolves and foxes that joined us wanted to join Alpa, Beta and Delta in allowing me to summon them," Naruto said as she looked amazed. Sasuke glared at him, but for the first time, Sakura ignored him.
"So what does that mean you summon dragons, birds, foxes, bears and wolves," Sakura asked him as Naruto nodded slightly.
"Almost, dragons, foxes, bears and wolves; the bird from earlier is thanks to my Dōjutsu," Naruto said as both he and Sakura walked into the building with a brooding Sasuke following behind them, "And It allows me to make animals that I can control," Naruto told her as Sakura nodded.
They stopped before finding a giant statue of the ram seal with a small stone tablet in front of it.
Naruto just looked at it with his right eye twitching, "Why the fuck do I struggle with Kanji when my grandmother is the goddess of where this comes from," Naruto thought as to his eyes, every Kanji character was dancing with each other.
"It looks like we opened the scrolls here," Sakura said as Naruto pulled them out, handed one to Sakura, and they both unrolled them before Naruto's eyes widened.
"Chuck it," Naruto said as he threw the school, and Sakura did the same before a puff of smoke formed before it cleared and it showed a Konoha Chūnin with a scar across his nose, "Iruka-sensei," Naruto asked him as Iruka smiled at the three.
"Hey, you three," Iruka told them as he stood before them, "It's been a while," He told them as he pulled out a pocket watch.
"What are you doing inside a summoning scroll," Sakura asked him as he gained a smile as Naruto narrowed his eyes at him.
"The scroll was used so that a Konoha Chūnin and or your sensei could meet you at the end of the second exam," Iruka said as he looked at his pocket watch, "And with how your sensei is, I was asked to do me your messenger from Hokage-sama," Iruka said before he gained a smile.
"Messenger for what," Naruto said as Iruka closed his pocket watch with an audible click.
"Congratulations, you three passed, and you have a few days to rest up," Iruka said as everyone smiled.
Well, Naruto and Sakura did.
Naruto and Sakura jumped at each other, hugging and jumping around before they realised who they were hugging and jumped away from each other bright red in the face.
"Iruka-sensei, what does that poem mean," Sakura said, and Naruto looked back at it.
"And what the Hades does it says," Naruto said as everyone turned to him, "I have both ADHD and dyslexia, and to me, it looks like their dancing with each other," Naruto said with narrowed eyes as Iruka and Sakura winched.
"Well, the first part says, 'If heavenly qualities are your desire, acquire wisdom; take your mind higher,'" Sakura read as Naruto nodded.
"It means if you are weak in mind, find knowledge," Iruka said as Naruto nodded.
"So kind of like me then," Naruto said as Iruka nodded at him.
"The second part is, 'if earthly qualities are what you lack, train your body; prepare to attack'," Sakura said as she worked it out, "This part means me," She said as Naruto looked at her.
"If you lack strength, go out and train, work your body and your skills and push your limits and brake them," Iruka said as Sakura and Naruto nodded while Sasuke said nothing.
"And the final part is, 'When "..." are opened together, the perilous path will become righteous forever," Sakura finished.
"So that means you have to balance the heaven and the earth out to find their true balance," Naruto said as Iruka nodded.
"That's right. As a Chūnin, you will need both of these to succeed in your missions in the future," Iruka told them as Naruto and Sakura nodded, and Sasuke grunted.
"Now that me congratulating you three is done with, I have a few things to ask," Iruka said as Naruto and Sakura nodded, "Naruto, what happened to your eyes and hair; Why the hell is it so long; Why do you have different cloths, and who is that," He asked the blond before pointing at Kunou as Sakura then looked at Naruto.
"I just noticed that you have new clothes," Sakura muttered as Naruto gave a cheeky smile.
"Well, for my eyes, I awaken a Kekkei Genkai and, at the same time Kekkei Mōra that goes by the name of Rinnegan," Naruto said as Iruka's eyes shot wide open as he looked at Naruto, "And it can do a lot, and I am still figuring it out," Naruto said as the man nodded.
"My heir is like this because me and my new summon, or rather the clan that I summon, helped me reverse engine the Akamichi calorie control and make it so that any food that I eat will be rendered down into chakra and nutrients for my body via the brain, bones, eyes, skin, organs, and, other things" Naruto explained as Iruka nodded.
"And the rest," He pointed to the streaks in his hair and the blond turning crimson.
"The strikes are something that you would not believe, and it is also the reason why one of my eyes is slightly silver but the other crimson; well, I found out that is natural for me," Naruto told him as the other three looked at him, "And the first thing is not that you and Sakura are thinking about, but it is Kage level secret," Naruto told them as Iruka looked shocked while Sakura looked interested while Sasuke showed nothing.
"The clothes are a gift from my summons as they want something that fits with a summoner of the dragon clan and me being the son of someone very important," Naruto said as Sakura narrowed her eyes at Naruto, "And finally, this is Kunou who is my ninja companion and ninja animal," Naruto said as Iruka looked down at Kunou and started to look her over.
"Do they know any Ninjutsu," Iruka asked as he gently picked up Kunou and looked her over.
"She knows at the moment, three Ninjutsu and two Taijutsu," Naruto said as Iruka nodded as he put Kunou back down.
"Now what I know about Ninja Animals is that she is just fine, and you are in luck as Hana Inuzuka is here to look at all the Ninja Animals," Iruka told him as Naruto nodded, but his eyes turned cold at the name he said.
Iruka checked his watch and, seeing the time, he pointed to a door, "If you go thou there, you will find a set of stairs that lead you to where your rooms are located, and Naruto Hana is on that floor, so have her check out Kunou," Iruka told him as Naruto nodded before all three members of team 7 walked over to the door.
