Element Nations, Land of Fire, Konohagakure, Training Ground 44 Forest of Death, Chūnin Exam Tower, Guest Hall


All members of Team 7 walked through a large hall with a large variety of seating before Naruto split off from his team as he found a door marked for Ninja with a Ninja Animal.

Naruto walked up to the door with a neutral face as he knocked on it, and after a few seconds, he heard a "come in" from inside.

Naruto walked in and saw that the room looked like a veterinary office with a metal table used for checking on the animals.

Sitting on a chair off by a computer was Hana Inuzuka, who was looking at a clipboard, but he kept his face natural and cold as Hana looked up at him, and he saw her winched when she looked at him, "I'm here for Kunou to have a check-up to see if she is alright as Iurka did not know what to look for," He told her as Naruto placed Kunou on the table as Hana walked over.

Hana looked over Kunou with eyes that showed years of veterinary experience, and Naruto tensed as Hana lifted a hand that glowed pink above Kunou.

After a while, Hana moved her hand away before she looked up at Naruto, "She's healthy; I can do all her shots now so that she can build up her immune system," Hana told Naruto as he said nothing but nodded as Hana's face fell slightly.

She had hoped that he would say something, but it seemed that his hate for her, her mother, and some of the members of her clan was still there.

Hana walked over to a cabinet before pulling out small battles and some syringes, and she walked back over to Kunou.

Kunou saw the needles coming over as she steeled her nerves, as she knew that with Naruto in the room, he would not let Hana hurt her.

While Hana gave Kunou the shots, Naruto looked around the room before he saw a photo on a counter.

It showed his mother while she was in her mortal shell, Hana with three pups, a purple-haired girl with a Katana at her side and a black-haired girl with red eyes.

He then moved on.

The next thing in the room was a pitcher of Hana, her mother and her little brother.

As Naruto looked around, he failed to notice Hana looking at him as she moved onto the next syringe for the next injection.

"Both he and this little fox have a bond," Hana thought as she administered the next injection, "It's like how I'm with the triplets," She thought as she moved on to the next injection before she saw Naruto stiffen and his head snap to the door.

Naruto narrowed his eyes as one hand slowly moved to the Yōtō before she heard Kunou yips at him, and before she could ask Naruto what was happening, he spoke up, "We have another Jinchūriki here," Naruto said as Hana looked shocked.

"How many tails," She asked him as Naruto closed his eyes.

Naruto said nothing as he closed his eyes before he let his senses and extended his reach as, in his mind, a black-and-white area of the tower formed.

And from within the building, he saw countless people that were surrounded by cyan flames, which he knew was chakra, but eight were not like that.

Well, they looked like flames, but they were not cyan.

Someone who had just entered had entered with navy chakra, then someone with midnight blue chakra and someone with pink chakra walked towards them, and another two walked toward them. One was green, while the other was silver.

Above Hana and Naruto were two people, one with red chakra and the other with white.

And then there was the final, who Naruto found was just outside the door and had yellow chakra.

"All nine of us are here," Naruto told Hana; as he opened his eyes, he slowly opened the door slightly to have a lookout and found who was setting his demi-god senses on guard.

And he saw that it was the person he had met before the exams.

It was a boy who had fair skin, green eyes, and short spiked auburn hair.

He lacked distinctive pupils or eyebrows, but around his eyes, he had tanuki-like black rings, which looked like they came from insomnia, and he had the kanji for "love" (愛) on the left side of his forehead, and his hair was parted for it to be kept visible.

He wore a black body suit with an open neck, t-shirt-like sleeves, and almost full-length leggings with a white cloth over his right shoulder and the left side of his hips and a wide leather band from his left shoulder to his right hip with which he carried his sand gourd and around which he wrapped his forehead protector.

Naruto narrowed his eyes at him before he closed the door and looked at Hana, who was looking at him frightened, as was Kunou, "You were my mother's student, and you when on a similar exam, right," Naruto asked her as Hana nodded, not getting were Naruto was going, "Was it here in Konoha or was it somewhere else," He asked her as she looked confused.

"No, it was in Suna," Hana told him as Naruto nodded.

"Did she have to tell them ahead of time that she was going," Naruto asked her as her eyes widened, and she nodded, "I'm going to need to ask Jiji about that then," Naruto muttered as he looked at her.

They stayed looking at each other for a while before Hana realised that she did not finish doing the injections, so she finished them off before giving Kunou one last check and saying, "All done for the rest of the day; she should rest, so no training with her for the rest of the day; then, by tomorrow, she should be alright," Hana told him.

Naruto nodded as he picked up his fox partner, placed her on his shoulder, and walked over to the door.

"When the exams are over, can we talk," Hana asked him as Naruto stopped by the door, "I want to make it up to you for not being there when sensei was forced away," She added as Naruto said nothing before he turned to her as he looked her in the eyes as his rippled eyes looked deep into hers as if they could see her soul.

"Alright, we'll talk then," Naruto said before turning around and opening the door.

Just before he walked thou, he heard a faint "Thank you" before he continued walking out.

As Naruto closed the door behind him, he saw that the boy he was looking at looked up at him before he walked off to find the Hokage.

It took him a while before he found him.

Naruto walked up to the room where he knew the Hokage was and knocked on the door.

"Entre," He heard the Hokage from within say as Naruto opened and walked in; the elderly man saw Naruto and gave the blond a light smile, "Naruto, what can I do for you," Hiruzen asked before he saw Naruto's eyes and looked shocked.

Naruto saw that the Hokage was not alone in the room as he was with his old teammates, but he kept his attention on the Hokage, "Jiji has any village said that their jinchūriki going to attend," Naruto asked him as he narrowed his eyes.

His three teammates also narrowed their eyes as they turned to the man, "Yes, Kumo, Kiri, Iwa and Taki have said that there were sending their jinchūriki," Hiruzen said as his teammates looked at him but nodded, "Why," He asked the boy he heard Naruto curse.

"Suna has their jinchūriki here," Naruto said as one of the other people in the room sat up.

"Are you sure, boy," He said as he opened his visible eye.

"Yea, and it's thanks to be awakening my Dōjutsu; I can now sense chakra, and all eight of my siblings of burden are here," Naruto told him as Hiruzen stood up along with the others in the room.

"Do you know where he is at the moment," He asked Naruto, who nodded, "Lead us there," He said.

Naruto nodded as he opened the door as Anbu appeared around the Hokage.

Naruto became cold when he saw the Anbu with purple hair and a cat mask.

They all walked out of the room with Naruto leading them slightly as Kunou got ready just in case something happened; they entered the lounge room and found the Suna jinchūriki still sitting there, "There he is," Naruto said as he nodded at the red-haired boy.

"So he holds the Ichib," The elderly female said as Naruto nodded, "Hiruzen told us about who your mother is and while I would not like to believe it, I must know, did she at least train you how to fight another one of your kind," She asked Naruto raised a brow at her.

Hiruzen seeing their brow, "I believe she means jinchūriki," He told him as Naruot of a face that said 'Oh' before nodding.

"Yea, Mom taught me how to fight them; she also taught me her chains," Naruto said as a golden chain dropped from his fingers.

Hiruzen nodded, along with the other three, "I'm going to have a talk with his sensei to see why and then I would like to know about your Dōjutsu, but for now, return to your team," He told Naruto as a Suna Jōnin walked in before spotting the Hokage.

Naruto walked off to where he sensed his team before he found the room they were in and opened the door to find that Sakura was sitting on a bed with a happy face, and Sasuke was looking out into the forest broodingly.

Sakura turned to him while Sasuke looked over at him before he turned back to look out at the forest.

But when she saw the look on his face, her face fell, "What is it," She asked Naruto, who looked at her.

"We're going to have to be more careful than before now," Naruto said as he walked over to a bed.


Two Days Later, Chūnin Exam Tower, Main Hall


All the teams stood in a room with the giant ram seal statue as the teams that passed were lined up next to each other, showing that only thirteen teams had passed.

All the sensei of the thirteen teams were standing in position near the Hokage as he looked over the Genin with, "Congratulations on passing the second exam," He told them as a woman with purple hair looked around and gained a slight smile.

"We started with 78 teams this year, and Ibuki only got ride of four teams," She thought as she looked at the Genin before a sadistic gleam formed in her eyes, "And I did say that we were going to thin the herd a bit then get it down to below half but this many," She added.

The gleam in her eyes became dark, "But there are still too many," She said in thought.

While the Genin teams were waiting for the information, they each looked at the other teams, and Genin, with Sakura, looked at some of the others in the room with her hand moved to take Naruto's, who gained a small smile at her.

She smiled back as she wore new clothes as Naruto asked the dragon that made his clothes to make some for Sakura.

Her clothes now consist of a red top with the same design as the upper half of her old dress, accompanied by black gloves, low-heel, knee-high boots, black shorts underneath a short pink apron skirt, and pink elbow protectors.

The cloth of her Hitai-ate was changed from blue to red.

"What's this forehead is going for the dope," A Konoha Genin asked herself as she looked at Sakura and Naruto, "That means I can have Sasuke all to myself," She added while another person saw this, and her heart broke.

"It seems that your team has made it, Kakashi," A man that looked like an older form of Lee said to the man next to him, "I wonder thou how much of it was dumb luck," He added with a smile.

Kakashi wore the normal Konoha uniform but had a mask over the lower part of his face with one eye covered.

Kakashi said nothing, so the man continued, "It does not matter as my team is bound to knock your team off of this round," He told Kakashi, who was will not looking at him, "And the next round is about those that have the ability or those that do not so will your team be able to manage with the heartbreak," He told Kakashi who finally looked over to him.

"What did you say, Guy," Kakashi asked as the now-named Guy started to break down.

A woman in a battle dress with long black hair and red eyes looked at the Ninken on her team, and she looked shocked, "What got Akamaru freaked out," She asked herself before she looked over to Naruto and saw that the hateful glare was being from at her by him.

She could not help but flinch at the clear as she remembered what her sensei had told her, and she felt a phantom pain around her writs that had faint brogues on them.

"You alright, Kurenai," A man next to her asked her; she nodded but could not help but remember the talk with her sensei she had the day before.


The Day Before


Kurenai walked thou the tower as she waited for her team before she bumped into someone that she did not think that she would bump into here.

Her old teammate Hana Inuzuka asked, "Hana, what you doing here," Kurenai asked her.

Hana looked happy for a second before she looked across the room with a frown, and Kurenai looked over to see what she was looking at and found Naruto talking with someone she did expect to see.

It was her sensei.

"Is that," Kurenai asked as Hana nodded, "But she," Kurenai tried to say, but Hana looked away.

"Sensei is not mortal," She said as Kurenai turned to her, "She's a goddess, a real one, and she is not happy at her son's treatment," Hana told her as Kurenai's eyes shot wide.

"Mom almost died; I heard that Mebuki Haruno's arms are broken," Hana said as Kurenai's shock slowly turned to fear, "Me and Yūgao got off lucky as she had other things to do, and we both have excuses, but we knew that we could have done something," Hana said as Kurenai's fear started to grow.

"What happened to you and Yūgao," She asked as Hana looked at her with great sadness.

"Yūgao was slammed into a wall by sensei's chains, and from what I saw, if sensei wanted, she could have broken her back," Hana told her as Kurenai started to shake, "To me, well, I was bitten by our clan's Ninken until I said that I would marry Naruto and help him bring back the Uzumaki clan," Hana said with a sad smile.

"And do you know the sad thing," She said as Kurenai looked at her, "We deserve all that punishment as we could have; we should have looked after him, and a small part of me hopes that I fail so that I can face my punishment," Hana said as Kurenai looked truly frightened.

"Is that so, Hana," The voice of their sensei said as Kurenai turned to the right and found her walking over.

"I will follow the oath that I made to you, but," Hana said as Artemis waved her hand waving it away.

"Oh, I know you will, as out of the three of you, you were the only one that could follow her word," Artemis said as Kurenai opened her mouth, "But it seems that I should have taken Anko while I could have so that I knew that at least one of my students looked after my son," Artemis growled as her silver-purple eyes drilled into Kurenai's red.

Kurenai froze while she looked at the woman, "So tell me, Yūhi, where were you when my son was growing up it better be fucking good," Artemis asked her as Kurenai felt sweat roll down her neck.

Kurenai held her hands out in front of her as if trying to calm the goddess down, but all that happened was she gave the goddess a target to wrap her chains around.

"Sense-," Kurenai was saying before Artemis slapped her Kurenai's head snapped to the side as tears formed in her eyes.

"As I told Uzuki, you do not deserve to call me sensei," Artemis told her with a quiet voice, but they both heard it as it held authority, "And I can tell you where you were, and that was fucking Asuma Sarutobi, and letting him cheat on you," The moon goddess said as Kurenai looked over at her with wide eyes.

"What he do-," She muttered as Artemis raised a brow at her.

"Please, Yūhi, he has five women on the go, and that is not to mention that one of them is a goddess," Artemis said as Kurenai opened to mouth to ask a question, "I would never lower myself to a pig like him, but the goddess that he is sleeping with is married to my favourite half-brother," Artemis informed Kurenai as the black haired woman did not want to believe it.

"Do you want me to show you," Artemis asked as Kurenai looked into the eyes of the goddess and saw that she held up a hand, "And you can try to disperse this like you would a Genjutsu if you want, but it will not work," Artemis said.

Kurenai closed her eyes and nodded as Artemis waved her hand; a rainbow formed before the rainbow's centre started to shift.

And Kurenai moved her hand into the ram seal as a pitcher formed in the rainbow.

It showed a man and woman naked on a bed, but the man drew Kurenai's attention, and she called out, "Kai."

But it did nothing, and she tried repeatedly but ended up with the same result as tears falling from her eyes.

But she could not turn her eyes away as the woman mounted the man she was both with and in love with.

"Before you ask, no, he is not under any Genjutsu or under the effect of Charm Speak, but he is doing this of his own free will," Artemis told her former student as she made the rainbow vanish.

Artemis released her chain as Kurenai fell to the floor in a heap as tears fell from her eyes, "Know this, Yūhi, you have not only failed me as my student, and when your parents passed, Minato and I looked after you, and so you failed me as your mother as well," Artemis told her as she looked down at the red-eyed woman before she disappeared.

Hana helped pick Kurenai up as she walked to her vet's office so that Kureani could have some peace.

After talking with Hana and Yūgao after she arrived, she agreed to help Naruto and those in the forest of death tower; they felt two small earthquakes.


Present


Kurenai looked back at Naruto with a look that spoke of strength as he held his gaze, and her eyes turned from sad to something that Naruto could not place.

The Hokage looked over the Genin that was there, "It's astonishing how many had passed and what's more, a lot of them are fresh with hardly any training," He thought as his eyes met with Naruto's, who nodded at the man before he glanced at the Jōnin, "And I can see why the senseis put them forward," He added as the woman in purple hair stepped forward.

"ALRIGHT, LISTEN UP, MAGGOTS HOKAGE-SAMA WILL EXPLAIN THE THIRD PART OF THE EXAMS," She yelled out as everyone straightened their backs, "There all yours, Hoakge-sama," She told him as she stepped back.

"Thank you, Anko," Hiruzen told her as he brought his pipe out, "Now, before the third part of the exam starts, I want you all to know the specifics of how it will be conducted so that it pertains to the underlying purpose of the exam," He told them as he took a large puff of his pipe.

Naruto narrowed his eyes as Sakura tightened her grip on Naruto, "What do you think he means," Kunou asked Naruto as he looked over at her.

"Probably that we are showing each village our strength so that we both show good relations and also that our strength should not be messed with," Naruto said to her as Hizruzen looked over everyone.

"This exam is to both show and grows bonds between both our nations and villages by conducting miniature wars between our nations," He told them as everyone bar the red-haired sand Genin looked shocked, "And if you read out history, you would find out that it was only seventeen years ago that we had just come out of a world war," Hiruzen said as people looked shocked at the knowledge that he was giving them.

"During the time of war, each village would agree that we would have a ceasefire so that we could all allow our Genin to reach the next stage, so the Chūnin Selection Exams were created," Hiruzen explained to them all as they all nodded, but they all stayed quiet, "And this exam is like the one that was held back then with removing the weak ones from this exam and by doing so you will bring honour to your homelands," Hiruzen told them as they looked shocked.

A Konoha Kunoichi could not help but ask, "Bring honour to your homelands."

"The third part of this exam shall be watched under the eyes of the many guests from other villages and the leaders from the other villages, that also means the royal family along with countless ninja from their villages," Hiruzen told them as they all nodded, "And if any of the applicants show a great deal of skill those nobles shall be quick to select the village to go thou with their mission," He added as people looked down at there pour performance in the forest, but Naruto tightened his grip on Sakura's hand as she looked at him as he gained a smile.

And smiled back with a dusting of pink on her cheeks.

"So I want you all to know right now that you are all putting your hopes and dream forward in this exam from this point on, and so you must know that you must show the strength of your village while also strengthening the bonds we have with the other villages," Hizuzen told them as a sickly looking Jōnin stepped out.

"Hokage-sama, do you mind if I take over," He said as Hiruzen looked over to him with a nod before the Jōnin turned to the Genin, "Hello, my name is Gekko Hayate, and I shall be the referee or the prelims that are going to take place," He told them before he coughed into his hand.

Naruto narrowed his eyes at the man but said nothing as Sakura looked at the Jōnin and asked, "What do you mean by prelims."

Hayate looked over to her with a dark look in his eyes as Naruto covered his line of sight to her as he looked around and spoke, "Now, while I don't want to say that the previous two exams were easy but we still have two many Genin here," He told them as they all looked at each other, "And with the amount that we have right now we want to cut you all down to at least half if not only a small hand full of you making it thou," Hayate told them as they nodded.

He swiped his gaze over them again, "Now then, before we begin, I want to know if anyone would like to step out now," He asked them.

Two people raised their hands as Hayate looked at them, "Names, please," He asked them.

"Kabuto Yakushi," A teen with silver grey said as Hayate nodded at him as he turned to the next boy with short spiked orange hair.

"Jūgo," He said as Hayate nodded once more as they both walked off.

Seeing that no one else said anything but Sasuke gripped his shoulder while Hiruzen narrowed his eyes at the Uchiha and turned to Kakashi, "If he so much as uses that seal even a little bit, he will have his chakra sealed, eyes taken out and given to someone more fitting for them, sperm taken so that we can fertilise eggs and then we will kill him," He told the man as Kakashi looked down.

"Are you sure, Hokage-sama," Kakashi asked his leader sadly, who nodded, "Very well," He muttered as he saw Naruto and Sakura talking.

And not looking at Sasuke.

"Why do they not care for their teammate," He asked himself in thought as Hayate looked around once more to see if anyone else was going to quit, and when he found that no one was, he started speaking once more, "Now then for this part of the exams it will be a one on one fight and the fights will be picked by a lottery," Hayate told then as they nodded.

"Open it," Anko said as a wall section opened to show a large screen.

Names then started to be shuffled around before they stopped on two names.

Sasuke Uchiha Vs Yoroi Akado.

Everyone started to walk nearby elevated walkways as Sasuke and Yoroi were left on the floor.

Kakashi walked passed Sasuke, "Don't even think about using that seal or your Sharingan, or I'll be forced to take action," Kakashi told him as Sasuke looked at the man before nodding as Kakashi joined Naruto and Sakura.

"May the first match of the preliminaries begin," Hayate called before he before Yoroi formed a hand seal as chakra formed around one of his hands while Naruto narrowed his eyes and activated his Rinnegan.

"So that's what he doing," Naruto muttered as Sakura looked at him with a raised brow as Yoroi threw Shuriken at Sasuke, who deflected them with a Kuani.

"What is it," Sakura asked him as Naruto looked at her with Kakashi looking over at them.

"That guy Yoroi is using a Jutsu that can drain chakra," Naruto said as he watched Sasuke clutch his shoulder and fall to the floor, "And while it is like my Gakidō," Naruto was saying before getting cut off.

"His requires tough," Someone finished as everyone, bar Sasuke and Yoroi, looked over to Artemis standing next to Naruto.

Naruto looked to his mother with a nod, "That right, ka-san," Naruto said with a small smile while Kakashi's eye shot wide.

"How is she alive, is Minato-sensei alive as well," Kakashi thought, but she ignored Kakashi.

Yoroi threw more Shuriken at Sasuke, who was defenceless on the ground before he stabbed his Kunai into the ground and used it to oved his body.

"Gakidō," Sakura asked the mother and son as Artemis turned to her with a thoughtful look on her face.

"Thanks to Rinnegan, Naruto has gain abilities with seven primary abilities that are called the Rikudō no Jutsu, and it allows him the main six powers of the Rinnegan are called Tendō, Shuradō, Ningendō, Chikushōdō, Gakidō, Jigokudō and then finally there is the Gedō," Artemis said as Sakura nodded.

"Tendō allows me to use forces of gravity to a point with me either pushing something or someone away or pulling them or ir in," Naruto said as Sakura gained a look of understanding.

"Like what you did to that Oto nin," She asked him as Naruto nodded.

Naruto then held his hand out as one of his fingers shifted into a drill, "The Shuradō lets me turn my body into weapons," Naruto said as the drill was pulled back into his hand and his finger returned to normal, "Ningendō allows me to read minds and to remove souls from people with just a touch," Naruto told Sakura as she looked down at Sasuke with a contemplating look.

"Only a death god would be able to remove that soul from the Uchiha," Artemis said as Sakura looked over to her, "Ningendō, while it can take out a soul, it targets the entire soul and when a cures seal is placed on someone it messed with both the chakra and with what Naruto told me of the curse seal he has on him there a part of Orochimaru's soul within the seal," Artemis said as Sakura looked discussed.

"What do you mean, sensei," Kurenai asked her as Artemis looked at her for a second before looking down at Sasuke.

"What mom means is that there are three types of curse seals; the first type is called the power type, which allows the user four times as much power as they would normally have," Naruto said as Hiruzen narrowed his eyes as the information was given.

"Then there is the sealing type, which is normally used to make the most powerful seals that are around," Artemis said as she looked over to the red-haired suna nin, "The Ichib's sealing abilities are shown with this curse seal," She explained as Kurenai nodded.

"Then there is known as the slave type that does as it is said as the person who has been given that seal will follow the person as it grants them a small about power but acts like a drug that makes the person want more, but it tells the person to serve the one that placed the seal," Naruto finished as Artemis nodded at him as Naruto gained a smile.

"So Sasuke has a slave type," Sakura asked him as Naruto and Artemis looked at each other, conversing silently.

While this was happening, Sasuke rolled forward and wrapped his legs around Yoroi's leg, and brought him down to the floor took one of Yoroi's arms and started to brake it, but then it gowled with chakra as he grabbed Sasuke's shirt.

"My chakra, he's," Sasuke thought as Yoroi broke out of Sasuke's hold and surged forward at Sasuke.

Yoroi griped Sasuke's head as his hand once more glowed with as the Kunoichi of team 10 yelled out, "Sasuke."

Naruto looked down at Sasuke, breaking the silent conversation with his mother, "Yep, just like Gakidō," Naruto muttered as he looked at Yoroi, "And with the curse seal on Sasuke," Naruto said as he narrowed his eyes at Yoroi as Kakashi, Artemis and Sakura looked at him.

"What is it," Kakashi asked him as Naruto looked up to the other walkway, scanned the ninja there, and then looked back down to Yoroi.

"I think that Yoroi may know that Sasuke has the curse seal," Naruto said as Artemis narrowed her eyes.

"Why do you say that, Naurto," a boy with pineapple-looking hair asked as Naruto looked over at him.

"If I'm right about the curse seal, then Yoroi is making it so that Orochimaru has an easy way to get Sasuke, Shikamaru," Naruto told the now-named Shikamaru, who narrowed his eyes in thought before they shot wide.

"You mean that thing can tell when Sasuke is out of chakra and feed him more," Shikamaru asked as Artemis caught on to what her son was saying and nodded grimly.

"So that means that the drug part of the seal will slowly take hold of Sasuke," Sakura said as Kakashi narrowed his eye at Yoroi.

"But how would he know about the curse seal," Kakashi asked his 'student'.

"How did that Kabuto know everything about that Gaara, and how did he know that Gaara completed every mission without a scratch," Naruto asked Kakashi back as Naruto pointed to his red-haired suna Jinchūriki brother.

Kakashi clenched his fist and turned to the Hokage, who moved a hand.

Sasuke kicked Yoroi away as the taller Genin rolled away but stopped as he looked at Sasuke and got his hand ready before running.

"What do I do," Sasuke thought as he looked around before his eyes landed on Lee, "That's it," Sasuke thought as he waited for Yoroi to get closer.

Sasuke kicked Yoroi into the air with a powerful kick as Shikamaru's teammate was going ballistic over it while Naruto, Sakura, Lee and Guy had gone stone-faced, "Is'nt that," Sakura asked as Naruto nodded.

"What Lee used on Sasuke when they first met," Naruto asked her as Sakura nodded, "Yep, and like his sensei, Sasuke used his Sharingan to copy it," He added as Artemis scoffed.

"It makes sense as there was only one Uchiha that never did that, and she was my best friend for a reason," Artemis said with Naruto nodding as Kakashi looked annoyed at what his 'students' were saying.

"Lucky I don't have to worry about that," Naruto said as Sakura looked at him.

Naruto moved his shirt and kosode that hid part of his neck and showed a seal that was on the base of his neck, "This is the Bōshi Sharingan Fūin so that I can keep my Jutsu to myself and eventually pass them down to my children," Naruto told Sakura who looked at the seal.

Kakashi narrowed his eye at the seal's name, "What does it do, and why did you make it," He asked the blond demi-god, who did not look bored by the man.

Artemis smiled at him, "Why do you think he made it; it's to stop copycats like you, database," She said before blushing as Sakura looked.

"So that's where you get it from," She muttered as Naruto, and before they could talk more, saw Sasuke move to behind Yoroi and place two fingers behind his back.

"Kage Buyō," Yoroi muttered as he looked over his shoulder at Sasuke.

Sasuke got ready to attack Yoroi, but then the curse seal pulsed and flame-like markings started to flow out of it as Hiruzen gained a dark look and Kakashi clenched his fist.

Yoroi and Sasuke started to descend to the floor as the curse seal marking moved over Sasuke, "I wouldn't," The Uchiha thought as the markings stopped moving.

Naruto and Artemis looked at each other after seeing that the marking started to crawl back; they sighed and looked at each other.

"I will not let it consume me," He yelled in his mind before Sasuke sprung into action.

Sasuke moved his leg around Yoroi before kicking the other Konoha Genin into the floor, "Shishi Rendan," Sasuke called out as he slammed Yoroi into the ground, knocking him out as Hyate walked over to Yoroi.

"Sensei, what is Sasuke's curse seal," Kerenai asked Artemis, who sighed.

"First, you still have not re-earned the right to call me sensei," Artemis told Kurenai, who nodded slightly before she looked down at Sasuke, "And that boy has a mixture of two types," Artemis told them.

"Di Immortales," Naruto muttered as he looked at the curse seal, "It's a mix between a strength type and a salve type," He told them as everyone looked shocked.

Hayate named Sasuke the winner before Kakashi took him away so that he could do something to the seal while everyone (on their side) did not know what to say Sakura turned to Naruto, "Naruto, you were saying that your Rinnegan's abilities," Sakura said trying to get everyone's minds off the information.

Artemis smiled at the girl a small bit, "From where we left off, the next one would be Chikushōdō, which allows Naruto to summon animals that he makes in his mind, and he can control them, or he can summon people that he knows," Artemis told her as Sakura looked at him.

"So that, Robin," She asked Naruto, who nodded.

"That right, I can also summon people who I know," Naruto said as Sakura looked amazed, "We already told you about Gakidō, and after that is the final of the main six Jigokudō, which allows me to summon the King of Hell so that I can make people tell me the truth and heal people that are literally near death," Naruto told her as Sakura nodded.

"What about the finale ability that you said," Tenten asked Naruto, who looked sad at her closed.

"It's called Gedō, and it allows Naruto the power to control life and death," Artemis said with also with a sad look on her face, "He can bring someone back to life, use a body as a puppet or just summon the soul of someone," She said as everyone looked amazed, but one of the Genin saw the look both mother and son had.

"Why do you look like that," Sakura asked them as Naruto looked over at her.

"When I was fighting the Oto team, what would you say my face looked like," Naruto asked her.

Sakura looked confused by the question but said, "A warrior."

Naruto nodded, "Yea, and would you say that is my face whenever I get into a fight or when I'm fighting," Naruto asked as Sakura nodded, "You see, it's a part of my Uzumaki blood," Naruto said as the names on the screen started to shuffle.

"All those with Uzumaki blood know deep down know that we are tools for the Shinigami; we are her will on the battle field," Artemis said as she looked at Sakura, looked shocked at her, "I may have been put into a mortal shell, but I am still an Uzumaki," She told her as Sakura nodded.

"But why the look then," Shikamaru's female teammate asked them.

"As the Shinigami's tools and will, we do not mess with the power over life and death," Naruto said as she looked confused, "The Uzumaki clan have a Fūinjutsu that calls on the Shinigami for aid in sealing, but we give up our soul in the prosses," Naruto said as she looked shocked.

"And the Uzumaki dose so willingly as we are her servants, so she blessed all Uzumaki with longevity and two masks," Artemis said as they looked amazed by the information, "One mask is in the Uzumaki Mask Storage Temple, while the other one was held by the head of the family," Artemis said as Kurenai narrowed her eyes in thought.

"Sensei did your parents have a mask," She asked the goddess, who opened her mouth, but Hayate cut her off.

"Can Fū from Taki and Kiyomi from Nadeshiko come down," He said as two girls walked down.

Fū was a tan-skinned kunoichi who wore an orange clip in her short, layered mint green hair that matched her eye colour, which was also orange.

Her clothing consisted of a short sleeveless white midriff shirt with fishnet armour underneath, long white armlets, and fishnet shorts with a short white apron skirt over it with her Hitai-ate was worn on her right arm, and Fū also carried a cylindrical object in red wrapping on her back.

Kiyomi, on the other hand, had black spiked hair that had grown out to reach her mid back with dark eyes and tan skin and was dressed in a high-collar shirt and bike shorts with black sandals.

Fū and Kiyomi looked each other down, with Fū smirking as Kiyomi was straight-faced as she looked at Fū.

Naruto looked at the mint-haired girl with narrowed eyes as Sakura looked at him, "What is it," She asked him as Artemis looked at her son.

Naruto nodded at Fū, saying, "She is my sister of burden", and all three of Konoha sensei's eyes shot wide, along with Sakura's, Lee's and Artemis'.

"How many tails," Lee asked as he looked at Fū.

"Seven," Naruto said as Hayate looked between both girls before he raised his arm.

"May the second match," Hayate said as he looked at both girls, "Begine," He called out as he brought his hand down.

Fū jumped into the air as insectoid wings formed out of her tailbone, and she started to fly higher as Kiyomi looked up at her, "Let's get the ball rolling," Fū said as she formed the tiger seal and she breathed in, "Ninpō: Jishin Supīkā," She called out before sending out a roar that made everyone cover their ears as Kiyomi covered her's Fū charged forward forming the rat seal, "Chō Shokkā," She called out as a ball of lightning from above her head before it sends out a blot at Kiyomi.

Kiyomi held her hand out as a puff of smoke formed within her hand before sending out a chakra slash.

The wave of chakra moved thou the lighting as Fū looked at Kiyomi with a wide smile, "I'm so glad that you're not a pushover," She told the other girl.

"Well then shall I step it up," She asked as she raised her sword as everyone saw it.

It was a moderately curved katana with a light purple edge and a distinct blue hamon with the appearance of flames with a golden tsuba shaped like a rounded cross pattée, and the hilt was wrapped in purple.

"That Kiyomi has some talent," Artemis said as Naruto nodded, although he looked at Fū.

"Fū has also got some bite to her as well, but I can tell that there is something not right," Naruto muttered as Artemis smiled as she looked at her son.

"What do you mean, Naruto," Shikamaru asked the blond-going-crimson-haired-boy.

"I don't know, but I can tell it's something," Naruto muttered as the Taki Jōnin approached them.

The Jōnin was a young, quite tall, and slim Kunoichi with fair skin, short light brown unkempt spiky hair, azure blue earrings, red lipstick, pupil-less black eye irises, short, thin, light brown eyebrows and wore a white hairband over her head, holding the hair out of the way from her eyes.

She wore a pink tube top with dark red linen, an open, light blue shirt, navy blue pants, and ninja sandals, and she wore her shuriken holster on her right leg.

"I could not help but overhear what you were saying about my student," She said as everyone turned to her, "And I think I know what you think is missing about Fū," She asked as everyone nodded.

"Yes, it seems that she has a good grasp on Ninjutu, as we jinchūriki have almost unlimited chakra reserves, and by watching her flying and the muscles on her arms and legs, you can tell she is no slouch for Taijutsu," Naruto said as he looked at the woman who nodded, "And with us, jinchūriki Genjutsu is a toss-up," Naruto added.

"You're right with all that, but you're wondering if she can use any of the abilities that her bijū gives her," The Jōnin Naruto nodded, "She can use all insectoid Jutsu," She told Naruto, who looked amazed.

"So, while I can sense negative emotions, she can use a type of Jutsu that I never heard of," Naruto said as Kurenai looked over at one of her students who twitched slightly, "I mean, sure that the Aburame Clan from Konoha and the Kamizuru Clan from Iwa," Naruto said as both of them turned to him.

Along with all the Iwa ninja.

"So you remember my clan then," Kurenai's student said as Naruto nodded.

"Yeah, I mean, if I want to become Hokage, I have to know what the clan do and what they are best suited for," Naruto said as Sakura gained a smile, "Take the Inuzuka and Hyūga clans are both good at tracking, but the Hyūga would be better at Medical Ninjutsu with their Byakugan," Naruto said as Kurenai's eyes shot wide before she looked over at her female student.

While this was happening, Kiyomi's sword burst into flames as she looked up at Fū before she swung her sword sending out an arc of fire that flew towards the flying jinchūriki.

Said jinchūriki flew higher and dodged them before turning to Kiyomi, going through the tiger seal and then clapping her hands before she breathed out a powder that blinded Kiyomi.

Fū then flew in close with a leg out and yelled, "Kōrogi Keru," the kick landed right in Kiyomi's chest as it sent her flying thru the air and into a wall, where she fell to the floor.

Hayate walked over and checked Kiyomi around before shaking his head, "Winner Fū from Taki," He called out as Fū landed, walked over to Kiyomi, and helped her up as her sensei smiled down at her.

"Thank you," Kiyomi said as Fū took her to her teammates.

Fū smiled back at her, "No problem," She said before walking to her team.

"She did good," Artemis said as she looked at the green-haired girl walking over to her team.

Her sensei nodded while everyone watched the screen as names flew by before they landed on the next two.

Dosu Kinuta Vs Shino Aburame.

Dosu walked down as he waited for his opponent to walk down, and it was one of Kurenai's students.

The boy had short spiked dark brown hair, black glasses that covered his eyes, and a sea-green jacket with a high, upturned collar and brown pants.

The two Genin looked at each other, studying them while Hayate looked them both over and raised his hand, "Let the third match," He called out as both Shino and Dosu tensed before the man brought down his arm while calling out, "Begin."

Hayate jumped back as Dosu jumped at Shino with his working arm, as Shino moved out of the way.

Shino's female teammate looked down and saw that Dosu's other arm was just limply hanging there and swayed with each movement, "Wh-why is h-he only using o-one arm," She asked as she looked at Dosu while Naruto gained a smirk.

"Naruto did something to it when defending me in the forest," Sakura said as Naruto's smile gained teeth.

"You used Ryūdangan against him," Artemis asked her son, who nodded as she looked at Dosu, "I have to say I don't know whether to be proud that you made that technique or annoyed," She told Naruto, who laughed while Guy looked over to her.

"I don't think I've ever heard of Ryūdangan before," He said as Artemis looked over to him.

"Oh, Naruto has made a Taijutsu fighting style that he could pass on to his children one day and so that they could pass it on to their children and so on," Artemis told Guy, who looked amazed by what she was saying, "Naruto gathered multiple types and fighting styles from the past, and he slowly putting them together and then made Mairyūken," She added as Guy nodded as it made sense to him before he turned to Naruto.

"Can you tell me about your Ryūdangan," Guy asked him.

Naruto nodded, "Well, first, I aim at a nerve in the arm of my target along with the Tenketsu before using Shigan to perceive the component, both theTenketsu and nerve destroying it and severing on chakra going to the arm while using Zetten to add distance making sure that the Shigan travels through the arm," Naruto explained as Guy shivered at the explanation while Neju and Kurenai's Kunoichi student looked frightened.

Shino jumped into his opponent and landed a solid punch before he flipped over Douse.

"Hinata, did Shino get him," Kurinai, another male student, asked his teammate as she turned to look down at Shino as the veins around her eyes bulged out.

She looked at Dosu for a moment before she nodded before everyone else with a Dōjutsu turned them on as they looked over at Dosu.

"Do you see it, Naruto," Kunou asked Naruto from his shoulder.

"No," Naruto muttered to her as he narrowed his eyes and looked at Dosu.

"Lord Naruto, check out his head," Akamru told Naruto, who looked over to the dog before doing just that.

And Naruto did see something that was on Dosu's Hitai-ate was a small bug.

"Did you find it," Artemis asked her son as Nartuo nodded, "That is the skill of the Aburame clan," She told her son, who looked at her.

"So when Shino punched Dosu, he sent one of his bugs over," Naruto asked his mother.

"Yes and no," She informed Naruto as Sakura looked at her, "You see, the Aburame clan have Parasitic Insects that feed on chakra, and they are called Kikaichū," Artemis told them as Shino and Dosu fought while Sakura narrowed her eyes.

"But wouldn't the Kikaichū turn on the Aburame," She asked the goddess.

Artemis looked at Sakura out of the corner of her eyes before she returned her attention to the fight, "If this Aburame was an infant, then yes," Artemis said as Sakura's eyes shot wide.

"You mean," She asked as Artemis nodded.

"From what Shibi Aburame once told me that when an Aburame turns five, they are given their first Kikaichū queen," Artemis said as Kurenai nodded.

"He told me the same thing when I started to train Shino," She said as Sakura looked over to her before Kurenai turned to Artemis, "Sensei do you know how I could train him in Ninjutsu without the Kikaichū affecting him," Kuremai asked the goddess.

Artemis narrowed her eyes in thought before she shook her head, "Dose he only use Kikaichū," Artemis asked as Naruto watched the fight as Shino sent out a wave of Kikaichū that turned into a clone of himself.

"Shino said that he wants to use more than Kikaichū and branch out to the other incests as well," Kurenai said as ideas started to form in Artemis' head.

"Well, first, tell him to learn how other insects work, how they hunt and make Ninjutsu around that," Artemis said as Kurenai nodded, but the look on her face showed it was a struggle.

"How do I help him with that," She asked the moon goddess.

Strangely it was Nartuo who answered.

Well, strange to everyone except his mother, Sakura and Guy's teammates.

"To make a Jutsu, you first need to know what type of Jutsu it's going to be, then you have to know when element it going to be or if it needs an element," Naruto started, not looking at Kurenai as he watched the fight between Shino and Dosu as both Shino's where attacking Dosu ruthlessly.

"Then you add hand seals if needed, but as we are talking about an Aburame, you will not need them, but you will need to know what insect will represent," Naruto added as people looked shocked, and Sakura smiled at the information.

"Is that how you made your Shokugi," She asked Naruto, who nodded.

"Yea, and with how the Akamichi just uses the food that is eaten and turns into fat that can then be used to turn into chakra to make them stronger," Naruto said as he looked at while Shikamaru's teammate looked shocked at Nartuo, "Shokugi turns all food and drinks I eat into to nutrients for my body before only half of what is left gets turned into chakra while the rest is the waist," Naruto explained as people looked shocked.

At the same time, Shikamaru narrowed his eyes at Naruto.

"Are there any other clans you have taken inspiration from," Shikamaru asked Naruto as the blond-going-crimson nodded.

"Yea, I make Omoi Rinku so that I can link my mind with another, and I based it off the Yamanaka clan's mental Jutsu," Naruto said as Shikamaru's female teammate's eyes shot wide open with mouth hanging open.

"Thanks to mom's blood in my veins, hunting is like second nature to me and some of the dragons. I can summon them, and they act like the Kikaichū," Naruto said as Sakura nodded.

Shikamaru and his team looked both amazed and annoyed at him, "Prove it," The Kunoichi said as Naruto raised his arm at her.

"Ōtatsu," Naruto called out as the arm he held out grew in size but stopped before it got too big.

Naruto then closed his eyes and let out a breath as the arm sank back to normal, but only a few saw that his arm was shaking slightly.

Sakura, one of the few who saw the arm shake, looked at him worried, "It's still in the phases where my body needs to adjust to going big and then back to small," Naruto told her after seeing her worried look.

Shikamaru's male teammate nodded as he looked at Naruto, "It makes sense as I did the same you need to do it to two-to-three times a day for a few months before it becomes second nature and your body adjusts to only a part of your body growing," He told Naruto who nodded.

"Thanks, Choji," Naruto said as he made a mental note to do just that.

Or just his Kage Bunshin to help him, but Artemis turned to him with a shake of her head.

"It needs to be you, not your Kage Bunshin," She told Naruto, who grumbled at her.

Back down on the fighting stage, the Shino clone broke into a cloud of bugs as it swarmed over Dosu, "Hijutsu: Mushidama," Shino called out.

The insects gathered at once, forming a sphere around as Dosu tried to fight them off with his arm, but it was not working; as he looked up at Naruto, he saw his eyes looking down.

And what he saw next to Naruto frightened him.

It looked like a demonic visage as it looked over Naruto's shoulder at him; it was much larger than Naruto and possessed long, shaggy, white hair, from which two red horns protruded and purple-hued skin.

It is draped in an oversized white kimono and carries a set of prayer beads.

It opened its mouth to reveal sharp, jagged teeth and a long, almost serpentine tongue.

And Dosu knew who that was.

One of the eleven (Element Nations) gods.

The goddess of death - Shinigami.

And that was the last thing he saw before he was knocked out from chakra exhaustion from the Kikaichū as they moved away from Dosu, returned to Shino Hayate, walked over to Douse, and checked if the Oto Genin was still breathing.

Once he was sure that Dosu was still alive, he stood up and held his arm out to Shino, "Shino Aburame is the winner of this match," Hayate called out as Shino's team started clapping for him.

Names once more names started to cycle thou the board as Guy turned to Naruto, "So how many Taijutsu and fighting styles have you trained in to make your own," He asked the younger ninja.

"Well, the ones that I put into making Mairyūken are Boxing for fast fist work, Muay Thai for fast leg work as well as using my knees in fighting, Atsuryoku-ten Kōgeki to direct the attacks and fight some of the weak points, which is why I added Chi-Blocking and Tenketsu Blocking Strikes," Naruto started off with Guy nodding his head.

"That makes sense," Guy said to Naruto.

"When I found out that I wanted a Taijutsu fighting style that either blocks the chakra or destroyed the target, I started to add more," Naruto explained to the man, "So to work on my kicking power, I added Kuroashi no Waza, along with it's two other forms, Jao Kun Do and Gōken, and with arm power I was told about Mutōryū," Naruto said as Guy looked surprised.

"The fighting style the Samurai uses," He asked Nartuo, who nodded, "That makes sense, as they are wealthy fighters even without their swords," He muttered as he waited for fore Naruto to continue.

"To make my body more flexible, I use the Nan no Kaizō, and for speed, I started to use the Zanzōken," Naruto told the man, who nodded, "That also adds in the forms of Haki, Chakra Enhanced Strength and all six forms of Rokushiki," Naruto added as Guy nodded.

And then, before long, two more names were picked.

Kegon of Taki Vs Samui of Kumo.

Kegon has short, brown curly hair and small black eyes.

His outfit consists of a violet jacket, green inside, a black top, his midriff exposed, and dark pants. He also has two holsters attached near each of his elbows.

He wears a blue Hitai-ate.

On the other hand, Samui was a tall, fair-skinned woman with a curvaceous figure who generally wore a stoic, aloof expression.

She has blue eyes and straight, shoulder-length blonde hair cut in an asymmetrical bob style.

She wears a very low-cut outfit which displays her sizeable cleavage, with mesh armour underneath, a short skirt and red hand guards, high boots, and what appears to be a modified Kumogakure flak jacket that covers her stomach only, similar to a girdle.

And she also carries a tantō strapped horizontally to her lower back.

As Naruto looked at Samui, he glared at her as Artemis looked at her son before she let out a sigh, "Naruto," She Said as Naruto turned to her, "You don't have to hate them," She told him, but Naruto turned away as Sakura looked at him.

"Mom told me what happened to my clan," He told her as she nodded, "Kumo, Iwa and Kiri all thou out the second great war attacked my clan's homeland, and during the last few days of the war, it then fell with only a hand full of Uzumaki making it out alive," Naruto told her as Sakura gasped.

Artemis looked at her son as Hayate started the match with sad but understanding eyes, "Naruto, you have the Uzumaki clan scroll, so you know that there are more of us out there," She told Naruto as Kurenai looked at her strangely, "I may be back in my normal form, but I am still an Uzumaki," Artemis told Kurenai who nodded.

"It's not just that, ka-san," Naruto said as Artemis looked at him with a raised brow, "Kumo kidnapped you when you were about to graduate from the academy as well," Naruto growled as he glared down at Samui with pure hate.

Artemis sighed as she looked at him, "You really are too much like me, aren't you, Dattebane," She told Naruto with a fond smile.

"Well, the only thing that you and Baa-san told me is that I look a lot like Tou-san but with whiskers, Dattebayo," Naruto said back to his mother, who laughed at that as Kurenai looked at Naruto, shocked.

"You know who your father was," She asked him.

Naruto nodded as Sakura looked at him confused, "Konoha's mountain count to four," Naruto told her as Sakura did just that before her eyes shot wide open, "Yep, Iwa's number one most hated Konoha ninja," Naruto told her as a puff of smoke formed behind them, and it was Kakashi that appeared then behind them.

Everyone there turned to them with a salute, "Yo," Kakashi said.

Shikamaru's sensei turned to him with a raised brow, "Did you seal it," He asked Kakashi.

Like Kakashi, he was dressed in the Konoha uniform but had a sash around with waist that had the kanji for "Fire" (火), a pair of black bangles, and bandages wrapped around the arms of his sleeves, and he was a tall man, with brown eyes, olive skin, short black spiky hair, and a beard.

And he was the man Kurenai saw when Artemis showed her boyfriend cheating on her.

"That I did, Asuma," Kakashi told the now-named Asuma with an eye smile.

Before Artemis could talk to Kakashi, Hayate called out, "Winner Samui of Kumo."

Everyone looked down to the floor to see that Samui had a sword to Kegon's trough, and he was holding his hands up as Samui stepped back.

Naruto narrowed his eyes as he looked at the sword, but the next two names were picked before he could say anything.

Sakura Haruno Vs Ino Yamanaka.

Sakura looked shocked as Naruto looked at her, but she nodded at him

Ino is a fair-skinned woman of average height with light green eyes and long, platinum blonde hair with bangs framing the right side of her face, and her hair was hip-length and tied into a high ponytail.

Ino was dressed in a purple high-collared blouse and matching apron skirt with bandages on her abdomen and legs, small hoop earrings, her Hitai-ate worn as a belt, and for a time, white arm warmers.

Both Ino and Sakura walked down to the main floor, and they stared each other down as Hayate stood in the middle.
