I don't own Naruto or any of its characters, I'm just a fan I enjoyed the anime but I love the fanfics, even more, they made me fall for the whole franchise. Whether I will have Oc's in the fic or not depends entirely on how the story goes.

Chapter 34

"I am the fittest, I killed a kiri jonin on my first C-rank, and I earned myself a deep gash not like Mr rash, hands in his underpants, and it's a jungle down there, you can tell that from his hairy legs." this was the scene Shisui walked into. Dan was practicing another philosophy, he learned from a rival in Kumo. Naruto was standing mouth open while Dan Uchiha said some cool lines in such a way it had a 'tough guy' rhythm playing in your head.

"What is that philosophy?!" Naruto asked with such giddiness you would think he was giddy which he was. His eyes had stars in them, his head still bopping to a tune only he could hear.

"This is the philosophy of 'rap' music a philosophy of rhyme and tone said to be able to compel emotions, a ninja in Kumo came upon the concept but can't do it justice. I do see its potential as a way to communicate emotions."

Dan Uchiha gave a very long-winded explanation that caused Naruto and Shisui's eyelids to get heavy in boredom but once he was done Naruto began mumbling rhymes that only he could make out and when he said something that fits really well he smiled bopping his head to a silent tune.

"You know what, your the coolest Uchiha I ever met, you are like the brains of the Uchiha clan or something don't get me wrong that stick is really up there but it's like it complements you." Naruto complimented the stone-faced Dan who didn't show any outward emotions and only nodded. Naruto didn't know if he was being humble or conceited.

"So gaki." Naruto looked over to Shisui and gave him his attention while Dan stood up and moved to another room.

"We have been training for this operation for a few days now and I won't lie, you're a terrible liar." Shisui stated simply and Naruto puffed his chest proud that the capable fool could see he wasn't the lying type.

"It's not something to be proud of." Shisui scolded easily and when Naruto raised a brow Shisui felt like an Idiot. "Okay maybe it is something to be proud of but I'm not proud of it." Shisui told the blond with a pout on his face that Naruto found disturbing to find in an Uchiha's face.

"Whatever, learning yin release is a pain." Naruto admitted to the man and Shisui looked at him in confusion.

"Did you use your clones?" He asked the blonde who nodded.

"Yes, they have been reading the scroll over and over while I trained how to convert my chakra into Yin chakra." Naruto spoke. Shisui looked at him in shock eyes wide in what could only be described as sheer shock.

"What!?" Naruto got angry at the way Shisui stared at him like he was the dumbest person in the world.

"I can't believe you didn't use it for chakra control, you are like a fool who found a trail of gold coins but picked up one and ran to go spend it leaving the rest that led to a treasure chest." Shisui laughed at Naruto very hard, so much so that Naruto felt insecure and self-conscious about it.

"You can train your chakra with shadow clones you fool, hahaha, guess you are not as smart as you like to think. How does it feel that an Uchiha is telling you about your signature jutsu?" Shisui mocked the golden blonde 12 year old laughing in his face and smacking his knees in the process.

"Sh-Shut up, I was just trying to do it on my own!" Naruto defended himself in an outburst that had Shisui stop his laughing fit and stare down Naruto who inflated his cheeks in 'righteous' fury with a tint of red on his cheeks.

"Didn't we just establish you were bad at lying?" At the question, Naruto deflated himself metaphorically and physically looking at Shisui with comical tears running down his face.

"I didn't know!" Naruto cried out just as Izumi Uchiha walked into the meeting room.

"What's going on here?" She asked the only two people around one being a 23-year-old jonin and the other a 12-year-old genin with tears running down his face, eyes red and swollen from tears.

"Shisui is being mean Izumi-neesan." Naruto accused and Shisui looked at the boy in shock. Izumi didn't even question the accusation and glared at Shisui who was wide-eyed in shock.

"Shisuiiiiiiiiiiiiii." The man addressed gulped and looked to his subordinate but since the blond had arrived into their little 'family' she had become overprotective of the blonde. Shisui gathered it was due to the boy being a student of Itachi's.

"Look Izumi-Chan I understand how it might look but I swear I was just." Shisui didn't get to finish his speech, he stopped when Izumi activated her Sharingan. Izumi had awakened her eyes long before most of their generation and due to that her eyes were the maturest of them all.

"Nee-San please beat the bad man." Naruto asked the girl going over to hug her wrapping his hands around her waist and burying his face in her ample bosom, which she didn't seem to mind at all only nodding at his request.

"Okay, Naruto-Kun." That was all it took before Shisui tried to run only to find himself in an illusion that lasted a second but a second was all it needed to last.

"Agggh." Shisui dropped face first, he was running when he dropped so his momentum had his face sliding on the tiled flooring. Shisui stopped just a few feet from the doorway foaming at the mouth with dead eyes that cried tears.

"I heard Shisui's voice, is he here already?" Rugal came into the room not noticing Shisui and stepping on the man's head with his 200-pound weight.

"Puff." In a cloud of smoke, rash was smoke screened from below and after coughing a few times and blowing the smoke away he found a splintered log below him.

"Fuck!" Rash swore that little act of his was intentional, he saw a chance to harm his superior and like any sane underlying he took it. Rash looked around and spotted Shisui in a corner curled up on the floor eyes dead as he looked forward.

"Izumi-Chan, you didn't." Rash said aghast and disturbed showing fear towards the female of the group. Naruto was a little confused and curious he could gather Izumi had captured Shisui in a genjutsu but what kind of genjutsu can break a man so badly?

"What did you show him." Naruto asked looking up at Izumi who was still glaring at Shisui, said man was only a remnant of his previous self until he wasn't.

"How could you Izumi-Chan, how could you." Shisui had teleported over to Izumi in the blink of an eye. He cried comical tears as he stood on his knees. "please just finish it, I can't live like this." Shisui cried and Naruto's sweat dropped.

"Finish the job Izumi, you already made him suffer enough." Rash said from a distance and when Izumi looked up at him he looked away taking a step back only to press himself against the wall.

"If I remove the memory will you treat Naruto-Kun better?" At Izumi's inquiry, Shisui's eyes widened with hope, he immediately nodded even turning around to look at Naruto and force a smile but that smile told Naruto 1 thing revenge would be sweet.

"Izumi-neesan, the bad man is scaring me." That smile vanished off Shisui's face quicker than a tri prong kunai getting replaced by fear and begging eyes.

"No, no I wasn't trying anything I swear to the log I didn't mean anything by it."Shisui after begging and begging tears ran down his face, Snot running down his nose and the stains of the dried-up froth from his mouth had Naruto frowning in disgust stepping away from the broken Uchiha.

"I think he suffered enough Izumi-neesan," Naruto said backing away to hide behind Izumi who nodded at the blonde with a smile before staring at Shisui with her dojutsu. The man let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh my!" Izumi swayed on her feet about to fall but she caught herself before moving to a chair and taking a sit. Naruto had learned that Izumi was not a full Uchiha, her genetics allowed her to unlock the Sharingan but she can't use it very efficiently due to the chakra charge.

Her eyes expand more chakra when activated than other Uchiha's but due to that defect, her 3 tomoe Sharingan is said to be the strongest in casting Illusions with the benefit of her being able to remove certain memories.

"Okay gaki.!" Shisui jumped onto his feet, face still a mixture of saliva, tears, and snot but he looked happy enough.

"What did she show you?" Naruto asked and Shisui blinked placing a hand on his chin in a thinking pose before shrugging.

"I don't remember." Shisui admitted casually and Naruto looked over to Rugal the man shook his head in the negative.

"Curiosity killed the cat gaki but If you want to know I'll tell you." Naruto nodded not minding the cryptic warning.

"She showed him Itachi in his bathing suit." Naruto had horror make it to his face at the revelation, he looked over to Izumi who looked much better and was feeling herself.

"Eww." Naruto gagged at the idea and the image that pooped into his mind. He didn't like it one bit.

Naruto looked over to Shisui who looked carefree and tranquil thinking the man had been done a great injustice by being shown that and a great service by having it removed.

"Hello, Sakura-Chan." Sakura walked into the Hokage's office and looked around finding Guy-Sensei and Kurenai-sensei standing in front of the man who greeted her.

"Hello, Hokage-Sama." Sakura greeted the aged Hokage with a bow to show her respect, the whole time wondering why she got summoned to the Hokage's office alone.

"Don't worry Sakura-Chan you are not in trouble." Sakura looked over to Kurenai who gave her a beautiful smile that had all of Sakura's negative thoughts blown away.

"Hai, sensei!" Sakura said controlling her nerves and looking over at her sensei in gratitude before turning back to the Hokage.

"Genin Sakura Haruno, I had been informed earlier this week by your sensei and the sensei of team 9 Guy, that you have a very rare ability." Hiruzen began and Sakura looked at the man in confusion wondering what he was talking about.

"Guy has informed Kurenai-Chan and me that you managed to break his youthful genjutsu." Hiruzen explained with a chuckle and Sakura finally understood what the meeting was about, she remembered Tenten saying that genjutsu was unbreakable and the only way to break out of it was to let it finish on its own it was a 2-minute process.

"You might not know the significance of what you did my girl but I can assure you, it is a feat never accomplished before." Hiruzen began explaining surprising Sakura to hear that even the Hokage couldn't break the genjutsu.

"The creator of said jutsu was the second Tsuchikage Mū, he created the genjutsu for his shinobi going to war. Mū was not a very talkative person he found the beautiful sunsets and beaches of his land a great motivator for his ninja." Sarutobi Hiruzen continued explaining while Sakura listened along with the other two sensei.

"That particular genjutsu is not harmful but it has one condition needed to break it, a condition only Mū himself came close to accomplishing but died before he could, and for many years even after his death nobody else had been able to accomplish it." Sakura's eyes were wide as she listened she couldn't believe she did something that no other Kage could accomplish she wondered what it was.

"What Is this condition Hokage-Sama?" Sakura asked still in awe wondering what conditions would be so hard to achieve that many failed.

"Perfect absolute chakra control miss Haruno." Guy spoke up this time and Sakura looked over at the man in shock.

"Perfect Chakra control." She repeated in confusion.

"Yes Sakura-Chan perfect chakra control, tell me how long did it take you to learn tree walking?" Kurenai picked up from there asking Sakura a question.

"The first try." Sakura said with a little embarrassment in her voice she wasn't used to being looked at with such attention.

"Yes, exactly in normal circumstances it would take someone about a week and if talented enough a few days and if persistent enough a full day. On the first try is something unheard of." Kurenai finished smiling sweetly at Sakura who looked at her sensei and thought the lady was very beautiful.

"But what does it all mean?" Sakura wondered out loud and Hiruzen smiled.

"It means Sakura-Chan that if you ever wanted to use for intense ice release by mixing wind and water nature chakra you in theory have the highest chance out of everyone here in accomplishing that feat." Hiruzen explained with a grandfatherly smile on his face, Guy was nodding his head in acceptance of the explanation and Kurenai only smiled proudly at her student.

"I can use a bloodline limit?" Sakura was in shock this was all news to her, great news but it was a little rushed she thought.

"Most elemental Bloodline limits are just a mixture of two or three other basic nature types, the second Tsuchikage was a user of the dust release a mixture of fire, wind, and earth nature types." Kurenai explained slowly to her student, understanding that all that information could be very hard to swallow whole.

"Thank you Kurenai-Chan." Hiruzen thanked the genjutsu mistress of Konoha and she smiled in gratitude. "In theory, we believe your chakra control is absolute so much so it will 'listen' to every command you give it. Kō Hyuga please come in." Hiruzen explained before raising his voice to call someone outside the door.

Sakura saw a Hyuga walk in she had seen him when she entered the Hokage office she had just assumed he was waiting for his chance to see the aged leader of the hidden leaf village.

"Sakura-Chan, Kō here is a chunin of Konoha and a Hyuga he will be watching you closely as you perform the surface walking exercise to gauge your chakra and how it moves around in your pathways." Sakura nodded at the explanation she was a little shy at the prospect of people watching her so intently but she moved to the furthest wall and did what she always did.

Sakura placed a foot on the vertical wall she felt it stick but she pushed her chakra control inserting her dominance over it even further until she would find that perfect place called equilibrium. A few seconds later she felt it and held it there, her chakra stopping so abruptly that it tickled her tenkentsu letting it sing in happiness. Perfection she had found it once again. She heard Kō gasp behind her.

"That's enough Sakura-Chan." Hiruzen told the girl and she complied removing her foot from the wall and turning back to face the four people in the office. "What did you see Kō-Kun?" Hiruzen asked the branch Hyūga member who was looking at Sakura wide-eyed.

"I-it is like nothing I have ever seen before Hokage-Sama, I can not explain it." Kō said taking a thinking pose and mumbling to himself for a few seconds before nodding and clearing his throat with a cough.

"Her Chakra control is perfect indeed, the theory you had about her being able to imitate elemental kekkei genkai is not wrong though her chakra reserves won't be able to handle it, not yet anyway." Kō told his leader and audience. Sakura looked a little down at the prospect that she might not be able to perform bloodline limits she thought she had finally found that one thing she had over Hinata that could get her closer to Sasuke.

"Sakura-Chan, you are dismissed you may return to your daily doings, your sensei will inform you of any decisions we make on how to proceed." The third Hokage explained with a proud smile. Sakura nodded at the old man before waving to Kurenai and walking out of the office.

"How do we proceed Hokage-Sama?" Kurenai asked her leader, who sighed turning to look out the window.

"I don't know Kurenai-Chan and although I know someone who might have an idea he has long betrayed my trust." Sarutobi said deep in thought.

"Gatō-Kun, what do you mean you do not work with ninjas anymore?" The pale woman asked her 'date'. They sat in a very luxurious restaurant located in one of Suna's biggest Hotel.

'How did she find me?' Gatō wondered in terror of Orimaru as she introduced herself to him, she had just shown up at his hotel room saying they had a pending arrangement to talk to him because she would be leaving the village soon.

"Y-yes well, you see Uhm I've just had some bad experiences with them lately." Gatō explained, honestly speaking he was scared shitless of the woman in front of him and that fear gave him one conclusion she must have been a ninja, Gatō gulped.

"Kukuku, I heard you had an altercation with some leaf ninjas in Wave country, is that why?" The fairly strong, fairly creepy woman asked and Gatō wondered where she could have gotten that information from.

"That is just one of the reasons miss Orimaru-San." Gatō explained slowly and respectfully he didn't want to get her angry he has never dealt with a female ninja before he could only imagine they were emotionally driven.

"Yet you are in a ninja village, one of the great five even looking to invest and bring it prosperity." Gatō listened to the woman, eyes widening behind the shades, he wore even indoors, Orimaru just smiled slyly.

'She knows too much, where is she getting all this information?' Gatō didn't like this, the way the pale woman kept bringing out one secret after the other you would assume she was around when it happened.

"Where did you get that information Orimaru-San, I've only spoken to the Kazekage about my intentions in Suna." Gatō had to ask otherwise it would look like he was scared and ready to let everything pass.

"Kukukukukuku…Gatō-Kun I have many ways of getting what I want." Orimaru replied using two fingers to make them walk on the length of Gatō's arm smiling at him that smile Gatō would later call the source of his nightmares.

"If I may Gatō-Kun, I think your intentions here are wonderful indeed, but it is wasted here. Sunagakure is not known for its appreciation, they will rather stab you in the back a second after help is offered than thank you." Orimaru's fingers reached Gatō's chin and held on to it before giving it a shake and letting go. "Kukukuk.." Gatō gulped again though he did find it sexy.

Gatō didn't like that laugh or was it a giggle? He didn't know nor care, it was a sign of bad omens ready to happen.

"You propose I invest in this new village you spoke of last time?" Gatō asked skeptically, the ex-business now employee found it counterproductive. "What is the guarantee this village will prosper?" Gatō inquired and the pale woman smiled like she was waiting for that question the whole night.

"How about a deal then, Konoha is hosting the Chunin exams in a week many villages will be sending their best genins to participate, I as well will send my own. Why don't you come along with us, the Kazekage will be coming too." Gatō showed interest in his eyes he knew his boss was a genin and that he belonged to Konoha seeing the brat in action would be interesting.

"What do you propose?" Gatō asked his 'date'.

"A little wager, the last standing village gets your support Gatō-Kun." Orimaru stated. Gatō was a little confused.

"Don't you mean the last standing genin of the village?" He asked and only got the worst response he could have ever had the pleasure of getting.

"Kukukuku" The snake-looking woman did that creepy sound with her mouth, Gatō thought his blonde master did it better it was less creepy than this babe that scared the shit out of him.

"I accept." At least he would be able to meet the young boss and explain to him the roadblock he had found himself in Sunagakure.

AN

One final chapter before we reach The Exams, Sakura has been informed on her talent whether she will take it seriously and push herself to become someone greater depends on her character, she hasn't had that moment like she did in the Chunin exams so I don't know how to make her concentrate on her training.

Naruto finds out about Killa B earlier then intended though he does not know his name or status as a perfect Jinchuriki. Lol Gatō and 'Orimaru' had a date and it seems he will be coming to the leaf village to watch his young boss kick some ass.
