Chapter 33.

This chapter will be a little Naruto centric, I've been sharing screen time with everybody but it is a Naruto fic and I need to show a little more of Naruto character, his true power level which I feel I haven't touched on, especially since I know a lot of people want to know what his new eyes could do.

Titled:

A dance with dragons, Naruto will not stay in Konoha pass the next 2 chapters.

Naruto strolled through the busy streets of Konoha, it's been a week since the end of the first exam. He was getting a lot more looks today but he couldn't blame them after all who knew Minato broadcasted the exams for everyone in the 5 villages to see, with exceptions of course. The only ones that didn't have to pay were the villagers of Konoha, every other place was charged a small fee, but when you calculate it by house hold, let's just say Konoha made a lot of money. He didn't really mind after all it's not like he went all out, and most of the parts with techniques were edited as to not show hand signs, but still he wasn't bothered by the looks. He reached into his pocket for what seemed like the hundredth time as his fingers played with the scroll that lied in the small space, he couldn't help it the information in this scroll was everything and he couldn't help reaching for it just to make sure it was still there. He gripped the scroll and his mind shifted to Nanashi, he found the scroll lying on his bed when he came back from the exams, it didn't say much a couple of techniques that he left me, the same techniques he already saw in his dreams. But they didn't matter, he couldn't use them. He tried endlessly but he learned something, if those techniques were only for the Sekai, why couldn't he use them? Which led him to his last conclusion he couldn't use the Sekai techniques because he simply didn't have the Sekai anymore.

He still didn't know how to feel about that, after he woke up after that night he ran to the mirror, what he saw surprised him. The only thing he knew was that his new eyes were somehow connected to the chakra of Nanashi. He was so lost in thought he bumped into a person. Cursing himself for his absent mind, he went to apologize.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see you." Naruto said before turning his head to see who he bumped into and his heart skipped a beat. "Hi-Hinata-cha- I mean Hinata-san." Naruto cursed himself for speech impairment. Hinata looked at him with her head cocked to the side.

"No, it's my fault as well." She said softly looking down, before looking up again and frowned when she found no one there. "Naruto-kun?" And her eyes widen as the name flowed out of her, how did she know that name? And who did it belong too? She thought back to the blonde and thought about it before a small headache rocked her and she sighed before she continued to walk.

'How hard did she hit her head?'

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief as he watched her leave the zone from the top of a small shop.

'She's starting to remember.' With that Naruto weaved a sign and disappeared in a swirl of blue roses.

Training ground 18

Nanami and Haku sat awkwardly next to each other as they waited for Naruto to arrive. While they wouldn't say they were enemies, the relationship was definitely strained. Nanami light blue eyes roamed the area. The training ground looked abandon there was rusty kunais laying around the grass wasn't cut some trees were still lying flat with no branches obviously been like that for years, if Naruto was serious about being unseen this was the place. Her head snapped to the right as Naruto appeared and frowned when she saw him smirk a little, Haku stood the moment Naruto appeared.

"Why the shitty smirk Uzumaki?" Nanami asked, a little peeved she was made to wait with Haku by herself. Naruto shrugged.

"It's just that you didn't find me till I was a couple of meters away, last time you said you felt me the moment I touched the water. I wasn't suppressing my chakra then but I decided to see just how good you were. I'm not wowed but it'll do." Naruto said with a smirk, enjoying as Nanami eye twitched.

"You idiot, the reason I didn't feel you earlier is because we're in the training ground area or close to one, and I could feel 4 ninja fire off multiple jutsu north east of here! While having Haku next to me, who isn't light on chakra either! Finding you would be like looking for a needle in a hay stack especially since I was spaced out thinking about this shitty training grounds!" She yelled, a giant tick mark on her head. Naruto nodded, he was a little surprise, the four shinobi she was talking about were about 6 miles away, he chose this training grounds because it was the furthest not to mention the only abandoned on in the village. And she was still sensitive to the ones further from her, making her 'vision' a blurry.

"I see. Those shinobis are 6 miles away, this is the furthest training ground from the village. And I picked this place because it was abandoned." Naruto said, looking at Nanami and Haku for any reaction, he got none. Nanami grew impatient with the silence.

"So? What are we doing here?" She asked, Haku nodded mirroring her teammate.

"We will be conducting a test, I know you could sense and I don't know what Haku could do, and both of you don't know what I'm capable of doing so I want to have a spar. You two vs me." Naruto finished already removing his leather flak jacket, leaving both females with blushes on their face as they looked at Naruto toned body. He was muscular for a 14 year old, his arms, biceps and stomach all looked chiseled, his blonde hair falling loosely down his head, with two bangs framing his face as he wasn't wearing a forehead protector.

"I recommend you take this fight, serious, I will not go easy. I could not build a pyramid with the stones at the bottom are weak, in other words I can't be your only line of protection wants we leave here and begin to travel." Naruto said as he cracked his neck and his stretched his arms.

His voice snapped them out of their shock, before Haku eyes narrowed.

"What exactly do you mean when we leave here? Are we not going to return to Mist?" Haku asked, this caught Nanami attention, when she talked to Naruto she knew they would have to defect but the way Naruto put it he was going to leave soon, really soon.

Naruto shook his head. "No, we will leave soon, now that all the kages are here they will be distracted with the chunin exams, and they won't be paying attention to anyone going out, as there is a constant flow of in and out. By the time they find out we will be long gone, and none of us will have hunter Nins after us till the kages return home, or in my case till my dad finishes the exam. After all he won't just reveal his son is gone, that will cause panic, and we don't want panic. Now enough talk, are you ready?" Nanami and Haku thought over what he said and nodded him had a small point.

Naruto quickly released four shuriken, which would've easily killed the two girls as 2 were named at the head and the other two at the heart. They were saved by Haku ice mirror.

Naruto then quickly jumped into the air as 3 ice spikes came sprouted from the ground before he went through three hand signs.

FIRE STYLE: FIREDRAGON PROJECTILE

His chest swelled before a giant dragon sprouted from his mouth and like an inferno dove at the two girls, his eyes widen when he saw his fire dragon disappear into thin air, before it even touched the girls, he didn't get time to think over it as both Haku and Nanami attacked at the same time, he ducked under a high kick from Nanami and used both his hands to avoid a knee from Haku, before he was sent rocking down from Nanami who used the same High knee to deliver a leg drop, he landed on both his hands showing strong upper body strength he stood in handstand before pushing back to avoid an array of sendon.

'They work well together, and I still can't figure out what happened to my fire jutsu.' Rushing through some hand signs he sucked in before releasing another fire dragon projectile, this time Haku performed an Ice dome that surrounded both herself and Nanami, the fire not even leaving a scratch on the ice.

'So they knew I will do another fire jutsu to figure out what happened to the old one, preventing me from analyzing what happened to the previous one.' He smirked at this, this wasn't like his last battles where he just out powered the enemy, and he'll have to use his head this time. He decided to go with a different approach, channeling chakra to his fist he exploded forward his hand connecting with the dome of ice, he smirked when he saw the ice crack and the surprise look in Haku face but as quick as it cracked it melded itself, before spikes shot out of the done, he jumped back just in time, but frowned when he felt warm liquid trail down his arm. This wasn't from one of the ice spike he was sure he avoided them all, he could even see Haku look surprise and Nanami-

''Nanami!' Before he force to cross his arms in front of each other as Nanami appeared with a fist and it was glowing with chakra. He readied himself and regretted not dodging it, as he went tumbling before he used his hand to stop his role. Standing back up he looked at the two and frowned as the Nanami behind Haku melted.

'Ice clone.'

"Are you sure we're the ones that are going to need protection? I mean, you're sort of stupid when you fight.' Nanami taunted. Naruto ignored her for the minute but he agreed with what she was saying he was being out thought, with Nami he knew exactly what she was going to do, also with Sasuke, his mom or minato will never fight him seriously and Nanami will just knock him out in one blow. His bodied glowed for a sec and both girls got ready as they knew what was coming next. Before an ice mirror appeared over them as Naruto suddenly reappeared with a heel drop, before he disappeared again, this time a mirror appeared under them, as Naruto went for a leg sweep, this continued for a couple of seconds before Naruto jumped back.

"Is that all you got? Maybe I should sit down and let you fight Haku alone, I'm sure she'll be okay." Naruto eye twitched at that, but he remained cool. Speed didn't work either, Haku ice was stronger not to mention, he noticed Nanami will know where he was at before he appeared, he almost kicked himself for forgetting she was a sensor. Deciding play time was over he decided to bring out the big guns. Before his eyes morphed and he could see the difference, he could see Nanami chakra and how it seemed to just rotate around her but never waver it was a constant flow of revolving chakra, Haku chakra was a lighter form of blue almost clear like water, and her flicked off her like regular. Naruto shot forward, and he was almost amazed when he could actually see the ice forming before becoming a shield, bingo.

Jumping back he attacked Nanami instead of Haku, which he was doing trying to take out the strongest but it was obvious now the dangerous one was Nanami. When he got close, he noticed the ice start too form almost in slow motion, before he changed trajectory and slid under the ice instead of over it and delivered a solid right jab, he was a little surprise she actually managed to avoid the full blunt of it but still it was enough to stop her taunting.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Haku dig into her pouch and took out three sendon and when she threw it once again he saw it almost in slow motion, taking out a kunai he blocked a couple 2 of the three but the last one still managed to impale him. He cursed as he jumped back.

'Just because I could see it doesn't mean I could block it huh?' Naruto thought as he took a breather, and frowned when he noticed his breathing was a little labored, these eyes take a lot of chakra. Noticing that Nanami recovered he decided it was time to end it. Raising his hand and pointing it towards the duo he smirked.

"Game over. Winds of the Moon." Naruto smirked it was downscaled of course maybe a couple of cuts here and there, but he did go hard. Then he saw it, none of them were screaming, looking closer he noticed that the winds surrounding them was spinning but touching them, it was like they were disappearing the minute they even got close.

'That again. Well let's see how much they could hold that up for, while adding a small gift.' With that the hand sparked with green flames.

"Zaga: Hi." The flames were blazed as they made contact with the wind. He was once again disappointed as the flames never engulfed them, then they fell over. Both unconscious.

"Huh?" Naruto said as he stopped the technique and turned his eyes off. As he walked closer, when he got close he noticed Nanami was bleeding a little from her nose, and both of their clothes were wet.

"So that's what happened. Haku covered both of them in a thin layer of ice, while Nanami did whatever she did to stop my wind and the fire." Naruto said as he looked over the forms of the Kunochi. He smiled never the less, they were good. He made two shadow clone and immediately fell on one knee, those eyes took way too much chakra. One shadow clone picked up Haku, the other picked up Nanami.

"Take them home, put them in one of the guess rooms next to my wing of the mansion. Change their clothes into something dry, a shirt and some shorts, and don't dispel until you explain to them where they are, you are not under any circumstances allowed to leave them alone. Understood?" Naruto asked.

"HAI." With a nod, the two clones disappeared into the trees.

Walking over to where his flak jacket was at and he picked it up and put it on, the weight seal on him buckling him down a little.

"Also By any chance, do you think you could explain to me why a kages level shinobi like you are watching me spar?" Naruto said to no one. He wasn't disappointed when a woman came out she was wearing a blue dress which exposed a lot of cleavage, she had auburn red hair and green eyes, he recognized her from the group that arrived from kiri she was the mizukage.

Mei smiled looking at the child with amusement as his eyes trailed her body.

"If you keep looking at me like that, I might melt you." Naruto raised an eyebrow, but didn't seem intimidated.

"I really doubt that." Naruto said dismissively as he walked towards the woman and looked up, she wasn't that taller than him, about 3 inches.

"Aren't you brave little Naru-kun?" Mei said smiling, Naruto smirked.

"Trust me, I'm not that little." Mei blushed at the hidden meaning but shook it off, before leveling him with a small glare.

"Play time is over, where did you take my Kunochi?" It was more of a demand then a question.

"My house. They fell unconscious during our spar." Mei nodded, after all she did get to see that part.

"Why didn't you take them to the hospital then? I'm sure the doctors there will take better care of them." Naruto shook his head.

"The Uzumaki clan estate has its own medical ward, a doctor could take care of them there, not to mention it'll be faster. Anyways, I'm not braking any rules here." Naruto finished staring at the Mizukage coldly. Mei nodded.

"You have two of my Genin in your house, surrounded by your guard, and your doctors, and both of those genin have Kekkei Genkai, how do I know there isn't a man fucking them right now in order to breed stronger Uzumaki? Or if the doctors are taking their blood to study it?" Mei said glaring right back at the genin releasing a small amount of killing intent. Naruto shrugged, not at all intimidated by what the woman was saying.

"If anything like that were to happen I swear on my Headband you could have my head." Mei eyes shot open, swearing on your headband was a serious thing. Mei nodded.

"Very well, I'll take your word for it Namikaze." Before she turned around and began to walk away.

"Also, if your genin in the back ever comes to spy on me again I will not hesitate to kill him as spying on another ninja is a federal offense. And tell him that next time he uses a summoning jutsu to make sure he actually has enough chakra to summon the real person and not a pathetic clone." With that Naruto disappeared in a swirl of blue roses.

Mei frowned, that kid was good.

"Let's go Chojuro."

Minato looked over the gathered jounins in the roof. It's been 3 hours since his village was infiltrated by two very dangerous ninjas, one of them being a former leaf Nin, Itachi Uchiha.

"Your mission is to make sure both hostiles are purged from the village, I have gave all of you a Kunai with a marker if you come face to face with any of them I want you to throw it at the ground, I will appear, do not engage. Understood?" He got a simultaneous nod from everyone before he flicked his wrist in a dismissive way and they were gone.

He returned to his office and leaned on his desk as he looked over the village. This was not what he needed, two S-rank missing nins walking around the village, which was currently housing 5 kages, not to mention he got word from jiraiya that the new sound village was moving funny. But he couldn't allow himself to dwell on that as he had other things to worry about, like finding Itachi.

He still remembered the order he gave back then to have the Uchiha clan massacred, to be honest he wanted them all dead, including Sasuke, why Itachi didn't follow through was beyond him. He frowned as he remembered the meeting he had with the Uchiha after the mission and remembered Itachi piercing him with a glare that only meant death. He wasn't by any means scared of the child, he was confident in his own abilities but even so, he wanted to avoid a problem at all cost. He heard two thuds echo around the room and he narrowed his eyes, such a straight forward move this was beyond Itachi.

"They weren't that hard to defeat, ANBU elite my ass." The taller of the two figures mocked as he looked around, His blue skin easily distinguishing him. Minato raised an eyebrow at the two.

"Kisame of the bloody mist. S-rank missing nin, wanted for attempted murder of his own kage, 98 million ryo bounty." Minato said calmly, before his eyes shifted to Itachi and sighed a little at the attempted gen jutsu by said person.

"Itachi Uchiha, missing nin also S-rank wanted for the murder of his whole clan. 112 million ryo bounty." If Itachi was surprised by his failed genjutsu he didn't show it.

"We are not here to fight so please put your weapon away." Itachi said calmly, Minato looked at them for any kind of lie, when he found none he nodded.

"What can I do for you?" Minato asked, his mind already going through a thousand scenarios all of which ended with both nins in front of him dead at his feet.

"Hold up! We aren't here to fight? You're no fun Itachi." Kisame said with a small grin as he put his sword on his back, smirking when he saw Minato mouth twitch. "What's wrong Hokage-san? You thought we didn't see the two Kunais you through at the wall directly behind us? Which I'm guessing were for you could use your flash thing, to appear behind us and stab us in the back?" He smirked when he got no reply. "Are you sure we're not here to fight Itachi? I mean he is." Itachi shook his head.

"We are no match for the Yondaime Hokage, even if we were to fight him together, not to mention we are in his village and the other kages will be alerted, and we are still supposed to keep a low profile. Starting a fight here will not be in our best interest." Itachi said. Kisame didn't like it but he accepted it. Minato grew tired of the nonsense and got up.

"Why are you here? I will not repeat myself again." Itachi nodded.

"We are here on a mission that we could not tell you about. But the reason I am here in your office today, is to say thank you for taking care of Sasuke, if anything were to have happened to him in my absence it would've been... catastrophic. That will be all, and I do hope it stays like that. Let's go Kisame." With that they both disappeared.

Minato cursed as they disappeared, they could be anywhere now. Seconds later Jiraiya appeared in his office.

"Minato I got news that Itachi and kisame-" Minato waived him off.

"I know, they were just in my office to threaten me." Minato said, Jiraiya narrowed his eyes.

"I want details." Minato nodded and told him what happened as they both took a minute to take into account the actions of the two missing nins.

"I'll look into it myself, ask my spy network." Jiraiya said, Minato shook his head.

"No I need you in the village, now more than ever especially with him here, and the sound village acting funny, not to mention the platoon of soldiers from Suna heading in this direction. No I can't afford that." Minato replied as he took a seat on his desk. Jiraiya looked at his student for a minute before leaning against the wall.

"Then? What are you planning to do? You can't just let yourself be infiltrated, and a war can't take place with all these variables in place." Minato nodded, easily catching on too what, more specifically whom these variables were.

"Itachi and Kisame will stay under the radar, he made that clear, whatever is happening with sound and Suna, has nothing to do with him. At least that is what I got from his words. I also know, he's looking for something in Konoha more specifically someone. He didn't just threated me, he threatened the village and he's strong but unless he got anything short of a bijuu-" And his eyes widened.

"That son of a bitch is looking for the Bijuu! Jiraiya under any circumstance are you to leave this village! If what I think is happening is happening we are going to need you. Also make sure nothing gets leaked. Also I want word of every jinchuriki in this village! And I want it in less than an hour. GO!" Jiraiya nodded and left immediately.

Hours later

Jiraiya appeared with a small scroll and passed it to Minato. The Yondaime nodded as he read the names.

"Suna sent an unstable Jinchuriki by the name of Gaara, he has gone on more than a dozen B-rank missions and has come back untouched. He seems to be a little loose in the head and will not hesitate to kill anyone he deems annoying. I'm guessing he could be their ace." Jiraiya said letting Minato mull over the possibility.

"And the others?"

"Taki sent their jinchuriki but judging from the details I'm guessing she was just here to show her strengths, then we have Iwa their jincuriki is old, he won't be taking part in anything, Onoki is a shrewd man, but I know he wouldn't associate himself with missing nin, also he wouldn't do something as dumb as this, that leaves only Nami and Naruto. Which makes sense since he does have the sharing an." Jiraiya finished and leaned back against the wall as Minato went to work. In only a couple of minutes he was done.

Jiraiya couldn't feel prouder of his student as he watched him work, Minato was a real genius.

"So it's confirmed they are looking for Nami or Naruto, which is a good thing." Minato said smirking, as Jiraiya looked at him strangely.

"Why?" Minato shrugged.

"Because they have me and Kushina to protect them, not to mention, I have seals attached to both of them that will lead me to their location at any time. After all a father can't be too careful, this could work out in our favor" Minato said. Jiraiya frowned.

"So you're going to use them as bait?" Minato shook his head.

"No, more like use them as the anchor when everything will falls in place. But that's a conversation for another day. My main concerns are with the sound and Suna." They both stood in silence after that none of them capable of coming up with a solution, until there was a knock on the door. Minato frowned when he felt the chakra but allowed them to enter.

Danzou walked in slowly, his cane tapping the floor as he walked into the room, his eyes lingering on Jiraiya for a second before shifting to the Yondaime.

"Minato-san, I have the information you might be looking for." Minato frowned at the disrespect.

"And what information do you think I need?" Danzou scoffed at the pathetic attempt at secrecy Minato was doing. But he played his game.

"I heard Jiraiya found some news on the sound village so I sent some ninja to investigate." Danzou said, Minato frowned.

"What ninja? I don't recall you having ninja." Minato said trying to get Danzou to admit to something they all already knew. Danzou didn't seem affected as he kept going.

"That is not important, what is important is that I discovered that they're getting ready for war. And are currently mobilizing towards us, along with Suna who plans to join them." The room fell silent, this was their worst fear.

"Do you know by any chance who is leading this attack?" Danzou nodded.

"Orochimaru." More silence. Jiraiya was silently fuming.

'Could you have really fallen this low?'

Danzou began to walk out.

"I'm sure the village will prevail, and Orochimaru will be defeated. Goodnight Minato-san, I have faith in you." With that he left.

Jiraiya sighed.

"I'm guessing you got what he was trying to say." Minato nodded.

"Root will not be helping us."

Naruto smirked as he looked at the destruction that surrounded him. While he wasn't pleased, he could honestly say he was satisfied. He had finally managed to unlock one of the techniques of his new eyes. It wasn't an easy task, after all using something you knew nothing about was like fishing with your hands. Tasking but not impossible. He took a minute to look at his hands before activating his eyes, he began to concentrate his chakra and after a couple of seconds two black orbs appeared and began to dance around his hand, he felt his chakra flow to his hand in large amounts but he didn't mind as another ball appeared, he felt his control slipping before stopping the flow, while maintaining the three orbs orbiting his hand. The balls began to rise before they began to float around him. Crossing a finger a clone appeared.

"Once again, throw a Kunai at me this time attach an explosion tag to it." The clone didn't bother responding as it jumped away before taking out a Kunai attaching an explosive note then threw it. Naruto waited for the projectile with bathed breath. He smirked when he saw one of the orbs appear in front on him before it expanded into a flat surface, he heard the kunai detonate, he was pushed back a little from the power in the note but besides that he was unhurt. The orb began to shrink again before it returned to its place rotating around him.

"Defense check. Let's see offence." He looked over at the clone before he willed another orb to move forward he notice it took a lot more effort to do this then to simply ask it to protect him but he pushed it to the back of his mind. The orb floated around his hand before he threw it at the clone, a little surprised the clone actually tried to avoid it, he didn't tell him to dodge. The orb passed right by him.

"I guess I need to work on me-" He was cut off as seconds later the clone exploded into smoke and the orb raced back to him. He raised an eyebrow.

"That was unexpected." Naruto whispered, as he look at the orb race back to him before it slowed down and also began to float around him. He felt a small sting in his eyes but he ignored it for the time being, he created a couple more clones this time, he told them to try to avoid the orb as much as possible, and giving strict orders that under no circumstances are they allowed to let themselves be hit.

He waited for them to take position before he willed the orb back, this time trying to use more orbs but frowned when the other two orbs wouldn't answer to his call. This was proving to be interesting, whenever he thought defense an orb will come forward, but whenever he thought offense another orb will appear, trying to use them simultaneously was proving to be impossible, he looked at the third orb and frowned what did you do? He looked at the clones before nodding to himself.

"Also, I want you guys to send multiple kunais at me, shuriken and explosive notes. Go!" With that he willed the orb to shoot forward, he nodded as he saw the first clone avoid the orb, before switching his eyes to another clone who was preparing an explosive note, and smirked when he saw the orb easily tear through him.

'Interesting so my eyes, control the orb and it works kind of like a rocket launcher.' He didn't have time to dwell on that as multiple Kunai shot towards him, and he saw the second orb step forward, this time instead of forming a shield it expanded before completely surrounding Naruto leaving him in a protective circle, He had trouble hearing anything outside of the dome but he did feel his feet slide every couple of seconds probably from the explosions. After a couple of seconds the dome receded and the orb took its place again around him. He notice that the offensive orb was staying stagnant in the air, so if his defensive orb was protecting him he couldn't use the other one.

He decided that was something he would work on in the future, before he stepped forward he wanted the clones to be eliminated all at once, while using the same orb, the next instant the orb began to bubble and distort before black spikes shot out in all directions completely destroying every clone.

He couldn't resist the smirk on his face when he saw that.

"Cool." Was his only words before the orbs all disappeared and he fell on one knee. He panted as he felt his chakra level plummet.

"I guess I need more practice if after every use I feel this week, I could be in trouble." He turned his head as he felt a presence appear, he raised an eyebrow as he looked at the clone of himself in front of him.

"Both Nanami and Haku are awake and waiting for you. I told them to wait as I went to fetch you." Naruto sighed at the clone and nodded, the clone saluted before he held his head as images of things he was sure he didn't participate clouded his mind. He smirked again when he realized what happen, apparently the shadow clone jutsu could relay memory. That could prove to be useful. He didn't dwell on it any longer as he disappeared in a swirl of blue roses.

Uzumaki compound

Naruto appeared in the hall of his wing of the mansion, he was going to go see Haku and Nanami but he decided he needed a shower first. He walked into his room and noticed it was a little messy, like someone was staying there, he raised an eyebrow as he heard the water running but he ignored it after all the servants knew he trained at this time, and will sometime prepare his. With that in mind he removed his clothes and threw it into the hamper, grabbing a fresh towel from his towel rack he slung it over his shoulder, he cursed as he forgot his underwear and also removed it and quickly through it into the bin.

He opened the door to his bathroom and frowned a little at the amount of steam, the servants knew he didn't like his water to hot. Deciding to not give it much thought he walked in, placing the towel down he opened the glass to the bath before his eyes went wide as he came face to face with Nanami, a very much naked Nanami, who was staring at him blankly.

Nanami sighed as she felt the hot water hit her, skin, leave it to Naruto to get her all sweaty, then drop them off in his house with no explanation. She felt disgusted at the amount of dirt on her body from the early morning scrimmage with Naruto and decided to help herself to a shower, seeing as Naruto was taking his sweet time to get back. The room they were staying in didn't have a bath so she decided to walk down the hall, and help herself to Naruto bathroom, after all he wouldn't mind. But what she never figured was that Naruto will appear in front of her, while she was naked and he was Naked. The thought made her blush, she tried to fight it but she failed as she looked down, and immediately regretted it as she looked at Naruto well-toned body, and realized that he was above average for a fourteen year old, she felt some heat accumulate in her lower regions before she shook them off. She noticed Naruto unlike her, had self-control and had not moved his head in any direction.

"Are you going to stare at me like an idiot? Or are you going to get out, and wait for me to finish?" Nanami asked a little peeved at the fact Naruto didn't check her out the way she did to him, was she not sexy enough for him? Naruto cocked his head to the right, still not breaking eye contact.

"Are you fucking serious?" Naruto asked. Nanami had the decency to blush but nodded. Naruto sighed before closing the glass and walked out. He was a little annoyed to find Nanami in his bath but it was understandable. He didn't wait long for her to come, this time she was wearing a towel over her body and a towel wrapped around her head, her light blue eyes looking at him curiously. Naruto had to admit she was kind of cute, not that he'll tell her anyways.

"Wait here, I left you some clothes to change into, they belong to my sister so they should fit, tightly of course." The last part Naruto said looking down at her chest region, Nanami didn't know if she should feel insulted or happy. Naruto didn't give her time to think it out as he walked into the bathroom. He didn't take long coming out 5 minutes later, to see an already dressed Nanami, sitting on his bed, while glaring at him. He ignored the glare for the moment as he walked over to a random wall and pressed his hand to it, the wall glowed before it pushed forward revealing a walk in closet, he walked in and came out minutes later in his regular attire.

Nanami glare had not left. Naruto sighed as he looked at her.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" He had a pretty good idea, but he wasn't dumb enough to admit it to her.

"You know why don't act dumb! Haven't you ever heard of knocking?!" Nanami asked peeved, Naruto just looked at her.

"You do realize this is my room? And you were invading my space, not the other way around." Naruto deadpanned. Nanami blushed but shrugged.

"I hope you enjoyed the show, it was probably the first naked woman you will ever see. I hope you liked it, it won't happen again." Naruto didn't bother responding.

"Let's go get Haku, she should be growing impatient, after that we will go get something to eat before I drop you off at your hotel room." Naruto said as he began to walk out of the room. Nanami followed.

"Trying to get rid of us so quickly? What happened to spending more time together?" She said mockingly. Naruto shrugged.

"Can't be helped, your kage came looking for you and I promised nothing perverted will happen, obviously that failed but I didn't see anything to begin with so it won't be a complete lie when I deliver you to her and tell her nothing happened." Naruto responded. Nanami nodded sagely.

"That explains why you didn't check me out." She said proudly, Naruto raised an eyebrow but didn't bother responding.

'I wonder if she knows about the mirror that was directly behind her in the bath, and that was the reason I couldn't look away.' Naruto thought but he wasn't one to look a gift horse in the mouth. They arrived at Haku room and knocked and they didn't wait long as Haku appeared and walked out.

"Guess what Haku-Chan?" Nanami almost sang. "Naruto here offered to buy us lunch, and he'll be paying. Isn't that great?" Nanami said beaming as a cold aura surrounded her, Haku gave a small smile.

"I'm sure we wouldn't take advantage of Naruto generosity." Haku whispered. Nanami shook her head and spoke in an exaggerated tone.

"But of course not! We are not capable of doing that to our future 'leader' it will be disrespectful." She finished quoting the word leader. Haku nodded.

"I did see this nice little restaurant, maybe we could go there for lunch." If Naruto was listening he would've ran for the hills but he was lost in thought about the progress in his training.

"Yeah, yeah, anywhere you want." He missed the demonic face they gave him.

Restaurant

Naruto eye twitched as he looked down at the bill. "45,000 ryo (450 dollars.)" He heard the waiter repeat. "Is everything okay sir? Do you need a minute?" The waiter asked. Naruto shook his head taking a small glance at the two Kunochi who shared sweet smiles. He reached into his pocket before taking out a small check book and wrote a check for the amount asked, before reaching into another pocket and pulling out a wad of cash equivalent to the cost of the food.

"That's for you." Naruto said as he walked out. It was his turn to smile as he looked at the two dumbstruck Kunochi.

"What did you forget I am disgustingly rich?" Naruto asked mockingly. He smirked at the dirty looks he got.

"Let's go, your kage is waiting." With that they left the restaurant. They walked in silence through the streets of Konoha before they reached the hotel section of the village and it wasn't long before they arrived at the Mist hotel. They were met by two shinobi obviously jounins by the way they carried themselves.

"Haku, Nanami the Mizukage has been waiting for you. She gave orders to tell you to not leave the hotel once you arrive, until she does a checkup of your health." Haku and Nanami nodded, already knowing what the checkup meant.

"So she's going make sure we weren't fucked silly. Sounds fun." Nanami said as she waved goodbye to Naruto and walked in. Haku apologized to the shinobi for Nanami rude attitude also leaving giving Naruto a small stare, and left completely when Naruto gave a slight nod.

Naruto nodded to the guards as he turned around and began to walk away. It didn't take him long to reach where he wanted the village west entrance. He took out a small cloak and covered his whole body, while placing his hood over his head. He was going to try out how lousy the security was, but most of all he was going to visit a place he hasn't been to in almost 4 months and was the most important place to his plans.

'I hope Zabuza hasn't been slacking in constructing my head quarters.' With that Naruto walked out the gate a little annoyed at the lack of security of the village but once again he wasn't going to complain.

Finally another chapter done.

I hope you liked this dance with dragons. Next chapter will be where the plot begins to move again. You get to finally see the new wave village, and the second part of the exam begins.

P.s.

In this story the second part of the chunin exam will be a tournament. I realized having them do the writing exam will prove meaningless as none of them will actually fail.

Plus I know your dying to see the match ups.

Plus you want to see Orochimaru new powers in play, I know I do.
