*I don't own anything you hear me!*
"Tigers Claw." Hinata's angelic voice came out calmer than the cleanest river. A giant blue tiger's claw manifested into existence and launched itself at Neji with great speeds.
Neji barely managed to dodge the attack by jumping to the side. It was a good thing he dodged, because where the tiger's claw had impacted was completely destroyed. Cold sweat appeared on Neji's head as he looked towards his cousin with trepidation.
"Woah, That's new." Naruto said with an excited smile while leaning over the rail.
"Yea, she completely destroyed a boulder with that jutsu." Shino informed Naruto. He remembered how excited Hinata was when making the jutsu. It was made while Naruto was off in the summoning realm.
"Nice! I just hope she doesn't accidentally kill Neji with that." Naruto then began to laugh.
"The fact that you are laughing at this worries me." Shino said.
"Oh lighten up, if Hinata-chan does hit Neji, she will just heal him right up." Naruto elbowed Shino while giving the boy a playful smirk.
"I suppose you are correct about that." Shino relented
Back on the arena floor Neji dodged another Tigers claw. "She can use an attack at that magnitude in such quick succession. That's impressive and terrifying at the same time." Neji stopped his thoughts when he landed and got ready to dash towards Hinata. He was stopped when he had to quickly block a high kick from Hinata.
"You're good big brother, I can see you've trained very hard." Hinata gave Neji a gentle smile. She then quickly brought up her other leg in quick succession and connected with Neji's temple.
Neji stumbled back from the attack that rang his brain like a bell. Hinata pounced on Neji like a tiger attacking the injured prey. Neji tried his best to block and evade but the fast and accurate blows of Hinata were beging to be too much to handle.
While exchanging blows with Hinata, Neji began to resume his senses and started to counter in a more fluid way. Neji saw an opening and shot his arm out to connect with Hinata's chakra point on her shoulder and disable her left arm. "Got you!" Neji screamed victorious.
Neji was not expecting Hinata to drop to the ground in the splits. Showing her incredible athleticism. Neji widened his eyes in surprise and was completely open.
Hinata raised her arm upwards in a thrusting motion and shot out an Air Palm which connected with Neji's chin and lifted the boy off his feet.
"That looks familiar." Naruto chuckled internally. This was the same way he had defeated Neji in the past.
Neji grunted in pain as he was lifted into the air by the powerful palm strike. He flipped in mid air after he had gotten over the pain and shock. Neji landed on the ground and tried to get up, but quickly found that even that was challenging. The boy managed to stumble to his feet and rose up with heavy breaths.
"Let's keep…going." Neji said and dashed towards Hinata in a lousy manner. That palm strike had really rattled his brain, but to save face Neji would keep fighting.
Hinata once again engaged Neji in a dance of gentle fist strikes. The girl was finding it more and more easy to land solid hits on Neji. Hinata slipped an attack coming to her ribs. Hinata stepped forward and gave a powerful shoulder bump towards Neji knocking him off his balance and pushing him back.
Hinata delivered a crushing palm thrust to Neji's shoulder. She brought her other arm forward and connected with Neji's chakra point on the opposite shoulder. Like a river following a path, Hinata landed fluid and precise strikes to Neji all in a smooth path.
"Great fight, you've made the clan proud today." Hinata said with a smile and relaxed her stance.
"L-lady Hinata…t-thank you." Neji began to fall and was going to make contact with the ground. Until he was caught by Hinata who only smiled.
Hinata held Neji in a soft embrace and left in a water body flicker to the balcony. She laid Neji next to the unconscious Tenten. Naruto picker her up in his arms and spun her around with a happy smile.
"I knew you would win!" Naruto gave Hinata a kiss as a congratulations, making the girl blush from having all eyes on them.
But Hinata soon smiled and returned a kiss. She just couldn't stay mad at Naruto for long.
"Hinata-chan! It seems as if you and Naruto are most youthful!" Guy cried anime tears once again.
"Guy-sensei! I will increase my training so I can be as youthful as Naruto-kun and Hinata-chan!" Lee said with stars in his eyes.
"Way to go Lee! That's the spirit!"
"Guy-sensei!"
"Lee
"Guy-sensei"
"Lee!"
Everyone rolled their eyes in annoyance for the daily combination of Lee and Might Guy.
"If memory serves, the next match should be." Naruto's thoughts were halted when he heard Hayate the proctor call out the next names
"Gaara versus Rock Lee!"
"A good fight is on the rise." Naruto smiled for the great match that was going to take place. But after this he had some real business to settle and it had to do with a one eyed war hawk who wouldn't be breathing for much longer.
Naruto watched the match that was going on. It was amazing to watch it the second time. Lee was putting on a show and proving that even he was a genius at hard work.
When Lee dropped the weights on his legs, everyone went crazy just like last time and had stupefied looks on their faces. It got even worse when Lee managed to land a solid kick to Gaara's head. However, Naruto began to get worried once he saw a bone chilling smile on Gaara's face.
"Damn, I should have known. All that trauma won't go away in just a couple of days." Naruto thought with worry and gripped the railing a little harder. If things got too bad he would jump in and stop Gaara before he could really damage Lee like last time.
Hinata saw Naruto being worried and frowned. She placed a gentle hand on his, gaining his attention. "Naruto-kun, what's got you so worried?"
Naruto gave Hinata a grateful smile. God, how would he be without Hinata his life? "It's Gaara."
"What about him?" Hinata looked at Gaara with interest. She then saw the psychotic look on his face and his chakra was going crazy around him. She was starting to see the problem now as there was another chakra in his body coming to life.
"He's losing it." Naruto simply said.
The match took a turn for the worse as Lee's new found speed was not doing much as Gaara was able to move his sand much better and more fluid now that he had a real seal. What used to take a lot of effort and chakra is now easy as pie for Gaara.
Seeing how his efforts were leading him nowhere, Lee jumped back and looked to his sensei who gave him a firm nod. The bowl cut haired boy then got into a stance and intense chakra began to swirl around the boy and the veins on his body began to become more prominent.
Naruto watched as the match took place and was really something. The only difference was now he could actually see Lee this time around. It was then the moment came. Lee struck Gaara with a devastating attack and sent him to the ground.
Lee let the gates close and his normal skin color returned. The boy began to pant heavily. He then passed out and landed back first on the ground.
"Winner is Gaara!"
Gaara got to his feet and walked out the dust that had obscured the view. Gaara was about to send sand to attack the downed Lee but was stopped from killing the boy when Naruto appeared in front of him and grabbed Gaara's arm.
They had a stare off with each other, not willing to fold under the gaze of the other. Naruto seeing this was not working decided he would bump it up and see what Gaara was really about.
Naruto began to raise his chakra to high levels and the sheer density of his chakra cracked the ground and made the air begin to ripple.
Gaara, not in the right state of mind, only grinned and also raised his chakra to match Naruto's but was finding it very hard. So he pulled more chakra and matched Naruto's.
"What are they doing?!" Ino screamed while hiding behind Choji and had an arm up trying to block the rushing air blowing past them and everyone else on the balcony.
"I don't know, but they need to stop!" Choji yelled, gripping the rail tightly.
"Man this is crazy, these two have monstrous chakra!" Shikamaru raged in his mind.
"Should we go down and stop them?" Asuma said while being ready to leap over the rail.
"No, Naruto has this under control." Kurenai said calmly. She was not nervous nor freaking out like the rest of them. Even team 8 was standing rock solid.
"Jezz, that team is really something." Kakashi thought in jealousy of the strength and trust team 8 had. Comparing her team to everyone else was just unfair and made them all seem like a bunch of clowns.
Just when Gaara was going to take it even further. He heard the voice of someone he hadn't heard in a while.
"Enough human, you don't want to go against him." Shukaku said in a calm tone. There was a hinge of respect for Naruto as he felt familiar to him and also to someone he knew a long time ago.
"Mother?" Gaara said in surprise.
"So he used enough chakra for Shukaku to speak with him." Naruto nodded to himself. He watched as Gaara's chakra began to simmer down and his eyes regain self awareness.
"Sorry." Gaara bowed his head in apology to Naruto. He felt immense guilt for almost losing himself once again. And to someone who had helped him so much.
Naruto lowered his chakra and his serious face left as he smiled at Gaara. "Don't sweat it kid, I understand. It takes time for that kind of trauma to leave." Naruto ruffled Gaara's red hair and talked to him in a friendly tone.
Gaara gave a grateful smile and left in a sand body flicker back to his comrades.
"Over the month he should become better. He has a supportive family that will stick with him." Naruto gave a sad smile. Family. What a thing it was. He looked towards team 8 that was all giving him smiles, well except Shino but he could see the thumbs up. He then gave a true and warm smile to his team. "Things have changed." Naruto looked towards team 7 which was Sakura, a knocked out Kiba, a sensei who was reading porn. Things have changed but maybe…it was for the better. He wasn't as close to team 7 as in the past, but he really didn't mind since he was happy. He deserved a little happiness in his life. Right?
The next match to take place was Shikamaru vs Kin from sound and the match went like it did last time just like all the matches after this one. This included Choji vs Dosu who won due to his sound arm sending waves of sound throughout Choji's body.
Now the matches were all cleared and they were about to get the results for who they would be fighting in the finals.
"Okay, the number you have pulled is your number versus the person who's number comes after yours." Hayate said to all the genin standing in front. "You first." Hayte pointed to Naruto.
"What does it take to be number one." Naruto said with a smirk.
"I have number two." Dosu's hunched over form spoke from the back. He looked at Naruto with anger. "Things won't go the same as they did in the forest." Dosu said in a menacing tone.
"Oh I'm so scared." Naruto's tone was sarcastic and mocking. "Bring it! I'll show you the will in these fists." Naruto bumped his fist together and grinned.
"This boy is not even my target but for the embarrassment in the forest, I will ask lord Orochimaru if I can kill him." Dosu thought with excitement in his mind. This blonde brat would beg for death once he was done with him.
All the genin were now looking at who they would be facing.
Naruto Uzumaki vs Dosu
Sasuke Uchiha vs Gaara
Shino Abarame vs Kankuro
Temari vs Hinata Hyuga
Sakura Haruno Vs Shikamru Nara
"This will be the first round of the chunin exam finals that will be held in one month." Hayate announced as he was done showing the genin the match ups. "The winner of each round will go on to fight the winner of the next match until there is only one standing."
"So make sure you train hard and come with everything you've got!" Hiruzen told all the up and coming genin with a smile. These chunin exams would really be something to remember. "You are all dismissed!"
All the genin walked over to their sensei's and began to leave the arena. Except Naruto Uzumaki. He was walking straight to the hokage with a serious face.
"Naruto! Where are you going?" Kurenai asked.
"I have to chop down these roots at my home. Don't worry, it won't take long." Naruto answered them in a cryptic tone. Hinata was the only one who understood what Naruto meant.
Before anyone could try and change his mind, Naruto vanished from view and was right in front of the hokage the next second. "We need to talk, Hokage."
Hokage's office
"I want you to order Danzo in here." Naruto told Hiruzen simply and seriously.
"Why? You are making a lot of demands but aren't telling me anything." Hiruzen said just as serious.
Naruto didn't take much time and simply reached into his ninja pouch and pulled out two scrolls. Naruto sent chakra into the scrolls and in a puff, the sound of two bodies hitting the ground sounded off.
The passed out body of Sai and the other root ninja landed on the cold floor. "Get a load of this." Naruto opened their mouths and showed Hiruzen the seal on the bottom of their tongue. If that wasn't proof enough, Naruto showed the anbu mask that said 'root'.
Giving Hiruzen a knowing look, he expected the man to make the right decision and not fuck this up, or he'd have to do it himself.
"I see, this is proof of Danzo still having his root ninja active. I will send anbu to arrest him." Hiruzen was about to signal for anbu but was stopped by Naruto.
"No, he sent these guys to kill me and my team in the forest. And an attempted killing on 3 clan heirs." Naruto interrupted Hiruzen with a stern gaze. "You keep letting him slide, you know he's had this activated for all these years but haven't done anything! Not only did he come after my life, but those who are closest to my heart. His treachery ends today."
Hiruzen held gazes with Naruto who was not wavering one bit. The Atmosphere in the room was tense and overwhelming. Hiruzen thought about how similar Naruto was to his mother, they were both so stubborn. But Naruto was right. He'd been letting Danzo do whatever he wanted for far to long and this was crossing the line. If he had somehow killed Naruto, that would have unleashed the 9 tails on the village again. Also going after the clan heir. He understood why Naruto said three since he was technically a clan heir for the Uzumaki or Namikaze.
Hiruzen closed his eyes and let out a sigh of defeat. "You're right Naruto, I had hoped growing old would change him but it only seemed to make things worse."
Naruto knew exactly how Hiruzen felt. It was the same way with him and Sasuke in his past life. If he had just been more forceful with Sasuke maybe things would have turned out different.
"Let's just get this over with, call Danzo here and allow me to do the rest." Naruto sealed the body of Sai back up. He would get the boy out of that hellish lifestyle and allow him to start a new life.
"What about this guy?" Hiruzen asked, pointing to the other root ninja.
Naruto shrugged his shoulders. "It's your call, you can do whatever you want with him. We can just take the seal off his tongue along with the self destruction seal and let him try to live a somewhat normal life.
"Yes, everyone deserves a second chance." Hiruzen said and signaled for anbu medic bay. While sending some others to locate Danzo.
"Cat!" Naruto yelled to the other purple haired anbu. The anbu stopped and looked at Naruto with confusion behind her mask. "You won't find Danzo just sitting around outside, you need to 'sense him out'." The blonde got on the ground and placed his palm flat on the ground.
"That's the same thing Tobirama-sensei used to do!" Hiruzen thought with shock at seeing Naruto doing such actions.
Cat just looked at Naruto confused, should she really stay and listen to this genin? Looking towards the hokage on what to do, she saw him nod. So Cat just waited for Naruto to finish doing what he was doing.
"This would be much easier if I could activate Realmheart-"
"You better not! Your body is already at its limit. This would only make things worse." Kurama's booming voice sounded out in his head.
"Fine, This is good training anyways." Naruto smirked at let his senses reach over the village. He felt his team going to Souma's shop to celebrate their win. He felt the local pervert at the hot springs, he could feel the Konohamaru core out training hard like he instructed them to do. "Need to search deeper." Naruto whispered, but in the quiet room it was loud and both Hokage and Anbu heard it. Naruto pushed his senor ability even further and looked deep underground.
It was then he felt the cold and emotionless chakra of a bunch of signatures. And Danzo's was among them. Now, how would Cat get there?
"He's under the memorial stone. There are a bunch of other root ninjas, so I would be careful if I were you." Naruto told them and breathed out while sweat ran down his face. "I really need to get a better handle on sensing while I'm not using Sage Mode."
"Okay, I will look for some kind of secret entrance while also collecting any anbu I come across." Cat left in a leaf body flicker.
Now that it was just Hiruzen and Naruto in the room, the old Hokage would ask Naruto what his plan was on this whole Danzo situation.
"Naruto, how do you plan to deal with Danzo?"
"I'm going to kill him."
"It won't be that simple. Danzo has been in many battles and has vast experience." Hiruzen warned in a foreboding tone.
"I know, but this will be an ambush. He won't know what happened." Naruto said and got to his feet and wiped the sweat from his bare chest, he really needed to replace his clothes.
"What's this plan?" Hiruzen asked, taking a seat in his chair.
"Danzo is a coward, he will no doubt bring root ninja with him. That's why a frontal attack won't work." Naruto lectured. "I'm going to completely erase my presence and hide in plain sight."
"What do you mean by that?" Hiruzen raised an eyebrow. There were cloaking techniques that would allow you to hide in plain sight since the anbu used it in his office. But if this was something Naruto used, it would no doubt be something crazy.
Naruto only smirked and activated his skill. He swirled the chakra inside his body while also absorbing the natural chakra around him. Instead of taking it all the way and going into Realmheart, he simply layered the nature chakra over his body like a silk blanket. This was called Gelato. A cloaking technique he learned while training with Gilgamesh.
Hiruzen look on in surprise, he could see Naruto standing right in front of him but at the same time, he wasn't there. Hiruzen extended his senses and tried to lock onto his chakra but it was useless because he could not find Naruto's chakra. "Wow." That was all he could say. This was truly something special and could make infiltration missions a thousand times easier. "How did you come up with something like this? Can you tell me."
Naruto smirked and waved his finger. "Clan secret." Naruto couldn't tell him that he was cloaking his body with natural chakra. The questions would never stop. And this technique wasn't unstoppable since anyone who could sense or see natural chakra like Jiraiya and Hinata with her tenseigan would be able to locate him.
Sometime went by and the office was silent. Naruto was hiding on the ceiling in the corner of the room caked in shadows. This combined with Gelato he was undetectable. A knock sounded from the door and Hiruzen prepared for what was to come.
"Enter." Hiruzen calmly said.
The door opened and the bandaged form of Danzo krept into vision. His cane tapping the ground and his gaze blank. The old man began to walk into the room.
"Time to make my move before he gets too close to Hiruzen." Naruto moved quickly and silently on the ceiling until he hovered over Danzo. Naruto pulled out a kunai and gripped it tightly. Naruto dropped like a spider does a fly caught in its web and jammed the Kunai right through the skull of Danzo.
Naruto pulled the Kunai from the skull of Danzo and watched as the body simply fell to the ground. A little anticlimactic but this was the best way to take Danzo out. Naruto wasn't sure if he could defeat Danzo when he unsealed his arm and used all those sharingan. A smooth and effective way to deal with things.
From nowhere, the root ninja that were meant to guard Danzo rushed towards Naruto with weapons drawn and ready to take the boy's life.
They were put to death when the hokage's anbu dropped and killed them in a second.
Naruto walked over to the dead body of Danzo. He crouched down and removed the bandages on his face, revealing the eye of Shisui Uchiha in the socket. "You see this." Naruto pointed towards the eye.
Hiruzen sighed sadly. This was treason on the highest level. Just where did his old friend go wrong? When was he tainted by greed and a twisted view on things?
"That's not all." Naruto summoned chakra on his two fingers in the shape of a sharp blade. He cut off Danzo's arm that was wrapped in bandages and covered by a golden brace. He cracked open the golden brace and revealed the morphed skin of Danzo's right arm. It also showed the closed eyelids of multiple sharingan. "You know who made that arm?" Naruto gave Hiruzen a questioning look. He could not make it seem like he already knew who made this arm.
"Orochimaru." Hiruzen answered in a heated tone.
"It would be best to take this arm to the hospital and let them run some tests on this arm." Naruto got to his feet. "Now, what to do with his body and illegal faction."
"I'll bury his body in some secret place, it's something he would want. And as for 'root'." Hiruzen put a hand to his chin and thought about what to do with them. They were a great help to the leaf in doing missions they couldn't get caught doing. He then thought of his perverted student. They could be used as extra soldiers for his spy network. When it got too dangerous for the regular spies, Jiraiya could use them.
"I'll add them to my students' spy network." Hiruzen said and looked up. This was the best action he could think of. If he released them into the public most of them would simply join the anbu or be utterly confused in the real world.
Naruto reached down and took the eye of Shisui from Danzo's head. He quickly sealed it up before anything could happen to it. "Okay Hiruzen, I've done what I needed and will be going now."
"Okay Naruto, I'll keep this underwrap." Hiruzen nodded to Naruto who left the room in a body flicker.
Naruto appeared outside his apartment he shared with Hinata. Going inside he slipped his shoes off and made his way against the hardwood floor to their bedroom. Naruto took off the cheetah fur pelt around his waist and hung it up on the wall. He opened the closet and searched for something casual since he was planning to meet up with his team at Souma's shop.
Naruto grabbed some black shorts and his orange and black jumpsuit jacket with low top black sandals. After a quick shower he put the clothes on and left the place in a body flicker.
When he appeared back into view he could see his team at their regular booth laughing with smiles on their faces. Naruto let a soft smile cross his face as he walked in and a bell rang above the door alerting the rather calm store to his presence.
"Hey Naruto! How's it going?" Souma shouted from behind the counter.
"Sup pal! See the shop's still up, which means you haven't burned the place with your bad cooking." Naruto teased with a smile. He knew that Souma's cooking was top notch and only outmatched by Hinata's.
"Asshole, you know my stuffs the bomb." Souma fist bumped Naruto while a grin was on his face.
Naruto turned and walked over to his team in their private booth eating on cinnamon buns. "Hope there are some left for me." Naruto slid in the booth next to Hinata and wrapped an arm around her shoulder while she leaned on his shoulder and nibbled on her cinnamon bun like a rabbit does its carrot's.
"Now that our lost blonde is here." Kurenai gave a playful glare towards Naruto who whistled innocently. "I want to say congratulations!" Kurenai pulled out a confetti blasted it right in Shino's face.
Everyone laughed while Shino blew the confetti from his mouth. "Not funny guys."
"You're right, it's hilarious!" Naruto threw his head back and began to laugh even harder followed by the others.
"Well see how funny it is when I have my bugs crawl in your ears while you sleep and lay eggs, causing a colony of bugs to spawn in your body." Shino told them in a flat tone while some of his bugs came out and made strange noises.
Everyone shivered at the thought of having something like that. Until they heard another strange sound. They looked to see Shino's shoulders shaking. The boy was laughing.
"He's laughing." Hinata, Kurenai, and Naruto said at the same time. This was the first time they actually heard Shino laugh out loud and not just a chuckle or loud buzz signaling his amusement.
"Well while he does that, what do you guys want me to train you in?" Kurenai asked excitedly. This was any sensei's dream. To train your students for the finals of the chunin exams.
"Well I want to learn Kenjutsu. It's one of my weaknesses. I also wish to increase my sensor capabilities." Naruto spoke up, naming the things off. While fighting Orochimaru and those root ninja, he learned sword play was a weakness and something he would have to increase on. When he would use his chakra blades, Naruto would only go off instincts and he had his Uzumaki genes. His clan wear masters at the blade after all.
"Well I know a friend of mine who is good at kenjutsu so I'll try to ask her for help. And about making your senses better, the best I could do is throw things at you while you try to dodge." Kurenai said sadly. She felt disappointed herself that she couldn't help her student in his time of need. She looked down at her drink. Her ruby red eyes brimming with sadness. Kurenai then felt a warm sensation on her hand and looked up to see Naruto holding her hand.
"Don't feel so sad Sensei, I appreciate everything you've done for me. It's okay if you can't teach me something, that's why we have comrades to rely on." Naruto finished with a warm smile that shines like the night stars.
"Plus! Me, your favorite student needs your help for her training." Hinata gave a radiant smile of her own.
"I will also need your help, Kurenai-sensei." Shino said from her side. And for once his tone actually sounded sincere.
Kurenai felt touched. This team, NO. This family was really great. She couldn't have asked for any other kids to be her students. They could get on her nerves sometimes but she loved them to death and would do anything for them. She could feel tears on the corner of her eyes.
"You guys are the best. I'm so glad I got you as my student's."
Naruto only smiled. He still had his arm around Hinata who was leaning into him. Naruto looked across from him at Shino and Kurenai who were talking about training for the month. Things are really going well right now. But this was just the calm before the storm. He already dealt with one threat that caused mass chaos in the future. Naruto then got a determined glint in his eyes.
"I won't let things stumble out of control this time. This is my last chance." Naruto thought with a renowned vigor of determination.
After team 8 was done celebrating, they all left the small shop to go do other things. Naruto and Hinata were walking hand and hand in the street. Some civilians glared with anger while others just smiled at the young love.
"So how are you going to practice kenjutsu without a sword?" Hinata asked.
"Well, I am going to head to the ninja shop and ask for a commissioned weaponed." Naruto said with a smirk.
"Why a commissioned one? Wouldn't it be easier to just buy one already made?"
"It would, but those blades wouldn't be able to handle me and Kurama's chakra."
"Speaking of Kurama, shouldn't you be going to see that pervy sensei of yours for ummm what's it again. A KEY!" Kurama roared in his mind. Being so close to getting the seal removed and able to leave whenever he wanted was really making him antsy.
"Hinata-chan, I have to go and meet someone, I'll see you at home." Naruto turned and gave the girl an apologetic look.
"Who is it?" Hinata asked out of curiosity.
"Jiraiya the Toad Sage."
Hinata raised an eyebrow. "Why do you need to see him? Do you guys know each other?"
"Not exactly, he's my Godfather and has the key to my seal."
Hinata made an O face. Now she understood why Naruto needed to see him. She leaned up and gave him a loving kiss on the lips. "I'll see you at home then."
"Yea." Naruto smiled and watched Hinata disappear like a phantom.
Naruto then turned and began to make his way towards the hot springs.
When he arrived it was to the sight of his former master standing on a toad giggling while writing things down in his journal.
"Hey old man! What are you doing!" Naruto shouted with a foxy grin. He would have some fun with his old teacher.
"WHAT!"
"A PERVERT!"
"Aaaa my girls!" The old man cried anime tears as the girls began to run away and go back inside.
Naruto laughed to the side. It was too easy to make Jirayia mad.
"You brat! That was my research!" Jiraiya yelled in outrage while getting in Naruto's face.
"Well you shouldn't be peeking at women. Old man." Naruto shrugged his shoulders with an innocent look on his face.
"My name is not Old man!" Jiraiya jumped back and did his dance and song on top of the orange toad. "It is Jiraiya! The great Toad Sage!"
Naruto looked at Jiraiya with a nostalgic gaze. He missed Jiraiya a lot in the past. To learn under him again would really be great for him. Naruto also thought about having Jiraiya train Hinata as well.
"Look Pervy Sage, I don't have time for this. I need to train for the chunin exam finals." Naruto said while making a fist with his hand.
"Who are you anyways kid?" Jiraiya asked, but he was well aware of who this was. He had been slightly briefed on Naruto from Hiruzen. But it was only a description and how the boy acted. Hiruzen said Naruto was very secretive but extremely mature. Also, the boy was very powerful for his age and not someone to be underestimated.
"It's Naruto Uzumaki." The boy answered with a thumb to his chest.
"Well Naruto, how about I train you for the finals?" Jiraiya asked with a smirk. No matter how strong Naruto may be, training under someone like him would be an honor.
"What can you offer me? What would I gain for training under you?"
Jiraiya only smirked at Naruto questions. He pulled the scroll of his back and placed it on the ground, letting the giant scroll to unfold. "The toad contract."
"Sorry to burst your bubble, but I already have a contract." Naruto said to the shock of Jiraiya.
"What is it? I bet it's not better than the Toads." Jiraiya defended the honor of his Toads. This was also bad because if Naruto, his godson had a different summoning contract, he'd be really sad at not being able to teach Minato's son.
Naruto bit his thumb and went through the hand signs for the summoning jutsu. Naruto slammed his hands on the ground and in a puff of smoke, there was a 4 legged creature in the smoke.
"What do you want, Mongrel?"
