Infinity
Day of the Finals - Naruto Uzumaki
The moment Naruto added chakra to his punch, many red and black sparks came out of the place where Naruto punched.
For Orochimaru, it was weird. The punch of Naruto, it felt more powerful than before, by a lot. It was nothing that Orochimaru couldn't handle but it was interesting. But something that was more interesting were the black sparks that came out of Naruto's punch and his eyes.
But for Naruto, it felt wonderful. It was as if Naruto's chakra had expanded. His fatigue was now gone and he felt like Naruto could control each and every bit of chakra in his body and that, he could.
"Interesting…"
"Wonderful…"
And so the fight started once again. With every strike, Naruto was using his chakra so efficiently that even Tsunade would wonder.
Almost every Jutsu that Orochimaru could do, would be dodged by Naruto. Similarly, almost every hit by Naruto would be dodged by Orochimaru.
The fight was going with blow for blow for a while until Naruto was surrounded by 3 Orochimarus, two of them being his mud-clones. Then one more clone was thrown over Naruto. When it was just above Naruto in the air, all of them together shouted,
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"
As of now Naruto was about to get surrounded by flames. But all Naruto was interested in right now was seeing how the Orochimaru was building up his chakra and how he did the fireball Jutsu. But after the fireball was about to come very near him, Naruto activated his stopping Jutsu.
What he didn't know was that Orochimaru's fireballs were going to last roughly 10 seconds, more than the limit of his Jutsu that he knew of.
Although he could just jump out of the fire pit and still be well alive with only a few burns, he still waited this his Jutsu ended. But what ended were the fireballs of Orochimaru. His Jutsu lasted more than he expected, and was currently still on. Why?
Because currently, Naruto was fighting with 120% of his potential.
"As far as I know, you used some type of substitution Jutsu. Am I right?" asked Orochimaru, only to be ignored by Naruto.
Naruto soon stopped his Jutsu and the fight went on. Hiruzen was still fighting both of his teachers and he wasn't planning to sacrifice so soon after seeing Naruto still fighting Orochimaru.
And this went on, for another 10 minutes.
The fight was still ongoing, all of the fighters looking like they had just started. Although it didn't seem like so, Naruto still was very tired. He had been using his remaining chakra very efficiently after his punch but his chakra was already very low.
But suddenly, the red barrier around all of them was removed and under 10 seconds, a white haired figure was standing alongside Naruto which Naruto recognised as another Sanin, Jiraya the Toad Sage.
"Orochimaru…" said Jiraya while smiling at his former teammate.
Orochimaru was now in a problem. Although he still could fight, it was risky. Furthermore, he had already branded Sasuke as his own. So right now, it was better to run.
"Jiraya... As much as I'd like to continue, it isn't the time." Said Orochimaru as his body turned into thousands of Snake. In a moment, Naruto screamed "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" as he burnt several hundred snakes. But some ran away. Naruto was able to use Fireball Jutsu as he had seen this Jutsu twice with his Six Eyes so he knew how it worked and with his new Chakra control and efficiency along with his leaf practice, he could do it.
As the reanimated Hokage were released, their bodies disappeared. Hiruzen quickly went towards Naruto only to see him standing with Jiraya looking towards burnt snakes. And so, he joined them.
"So… he ran away?" asked Hiruzen.
"Yes, along with all the other Sand and Sound Shinobi captured or killed." Answered Jiraya as he looked towards Naruto, who was now putting on his mask. "If I'm correct, you must be Naruto?" he asked.
"Well, you aren't wrong about that." Answered Naruto while looking at Jiraya with a smile and his mask.
"And here I was planning to go look for you in other lands brat." Said Jiraya.
"Sorry but why were you looking for me?" Naruto asked suddenly.
"Well, you're a fellow Shinobi of the leaf." Answered Jiraya nervously.
"Putting that aside, what's up with your appearance Naruto? Did you dye your hairs? And why the mask?" asked Hiruzen. He knew Naruto had unlocked some kind of Dojutsu but he needed to confirm it.
"Well, I am not sure what happened to my hairs and skin but I bought these clothes and the height is probably the result of my training. About my eyes, I think I've got new cool eyes just like Kakashi sensei and Sasuke." Answered Naruto.
"Naruto... Your family didn't have any Dojutsu..." said Jiraya.
"Wait, my family? You know about them? Who were they?" asked Naruto.
"We can talk about that later. Well Naruto, you aren't planning to run away now, are you?" asked Hiruzen.
"No… I thought you would think I was the fox…" said Naruto sadly.
"You really think your 'old man' who's the Hokage would believe such baseless rumours?" asked Hiruzen.
Hearing that, Naruto bent and apologised to Hiruzen just like his clone did but the same happened here.
"It's okay… what's not okay is that you killed a Fire daimyo!" said Hiruzen looking angry but inside he was just grinning mischievously.
"H- He- was- He was corrupt…" answered the scared Naruto.
"It doesn't matter he was corrupt or not!" said Hiruzen.
Naruto was now even more nervous.
"What matters is that you will be pardoned." Said Hiruzen, now smiling.
"What?"
"Well, what happened is that someone had to take the place of the Daimyo you killed. It happened to be his brother's son and the brother was killed by the Daimyo. The son couldn't reach anyone at that time but after he became the Daimyo, he thanked the leaf and asked us to pardon you.
Also, even if it hadn't happened, I would've pardoned you for fighting Orochimaru. Even if you didn't even fight Orochimaru, your 'old man' wasn't going to get you punished for something that's not your fault."
"Really!?" shouted Naruto in pure joy.
"Yes. As of now, you are back as a Shinobi of the Village Hidden in the Leaf." Said Hiruzen while smiling.
"Thanks gramps." Said Naruto, with a sad smile, as Naruto realised what he had done wrong in the past.
"With the rank of Genin*"
"Ya- Wait what?"
"Well, I can't just make you Chuunin without you participating in the exams now, can I?"
"…. Whatever…."
"Now, let's go."
Next Day - Naruto Uzumaki
Waking up in his old apartment was like a breeze of fresh air for Naruto. It had been fully rebuilt and its design was changed. It was a little confusing for Naruto but 2 rooms and a bathroom isn't big enough to get lost in it.
Yesterday was very hard. After the fight, Naruto also had to help everyone in the war shelters. Good thing was that no one was able to recognise him. For that day, Naruto wasn't able to meet Team 7 again so no one even spoke his name much as the Hokage was busy and who knows where Jiraya the Sanin went.
What idiotic was that after all things were done and Naruto was climbing up the stairs to his home, someone from the outside shouted "Hey, over here." When Naruto went ahead to ask what he wants, all he said was that this home was home of a demon so you won't like to stay here and stuff along these lines which Naruto ignored.
After his daily routine and a little bit of weird feeling as what happened that day happened at this moment, Naruto went ahead to the place where his team would meet up. And there was no one there. Sasuke and Sakura were probably tired from yesterday and Kakashi sensei were being Kakashi sensei. And so Naruto went ahead with his daily training warm up.
An hour later, Sasuke came. Seeing Naruto train, he also went ahead with his training as he didn't want to disturb him. Soon, Sakura came, what she didn't realised was Kakashi was walking behind her.
Just as Sakura stopped to say good morning to both of her teammates, Kakashi said "Hi" to all. Sakura was jumpscared as she shouted in horror then went ahead to shout on Kakashi.
After all this shenanigans ended, all of team 7 gathered around Kakashi.
"As much as I'd like to train you all today, Hokage has called us to his tower." Said Kakashi. With a nod from all of his students, he went ahead to the Hokage's tower as his student followed him.
Soon they entered the Hokage's office through the gate.
"Team 7, I've some concerning matters to talk to you about your members." Said Hiruzen looking serious.
With a nod from all the members of team 7, Hiruzen continued "First of all, I would like Naruto to explain and name his Dojutsu officially." After Hiruzen stopped, all of the members of team 7 were looking at Naruto surprisingly, including Kakashi. "He didn't tell you?" asked Hiruzen to which Kakashi said "No." "Well this is certainly weird, I thought with a loudmouth that he is, he would be screaming about it to everyone."
With a weird look at the smiling Hokage, Naruto said "My eyes allow me to see chakra at fundamental level. For every Jutsu, I can see yin and yang chakra combining to form elemental chakra and traveling through chakra paths to form. I think there is more to my eyes though, I have unlocked a new technique that can stop things coming at me for a while, I am still increasing time for it."
Everyone was looking at Naruto curiously as Hiruzen said
"And, what are you going to name it?"
"Well initially, I thought this was Rinnegan but after finding out its not, I named it the Blue Eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, which was very wrong so now I call it the Six Eyes."
"Okay... So what about your stopping things Jutsu?"
"As far as I know, to do that, some type of special chakra creates a barrier around me and my Six Eyes tell that the barrier doesn't stop things but creates an infinite distance between me and the object. I have not thought of a name for this though."
"You can call that infinity." Said Sakura to which Naruto looked at her first then thought of something then nodded at the Hokage.
"So infinity it is. Also, what about that Black Sparks? I saw you punch it at Orochimaru and you were like completely healed after that." Said Hiruzen.
"Yeah I thought a lot about this yesterday and I would like to name this technique the Black Flash. What I am sure of now is that this technique isn't the power of my eyes but it happened as I was late to add chakra to my punches which created black sparks. I think anyone can do that if he or she does it correctly. After doing that, I wasn't healed but it felt like chakra was flowing inside of my body freely instead of inside my chakra paths. After that, I could just control my remaining chakra very efficiently. One thing I'm also sure of though, after the black flash, all of my abilities got very good as if I reached a new potential and the punch that happened with the flash punched Orochimaru very hard, I could see that by his chakra acting weirdly for some seconds around his stomach."
"The Black Flash? Hmm, what about the delay? How much time you think you were off that did this technique?"
"I think it is around one-millionth of a second." Said Naruto.
'I am sure Tsunade would like to take a look at this power' thought Hiruzen as he said "Okay Naruto, from now on, you're the first wielder of the Six Eyes as well as creator of the Black Flash."
"Now about something else, I would like you to go search for the new Hokage along with Jiraya."
"What? But he just came back" said Sakura.
"Yeah why would you send him away again?" asked Sasuke.
"For this mission, he just needs to bond with Jiraya and I'm sure he's the only one who would be able to convince Tsunade to comeback."
"Tsunade would be the next Hokage? That's awesome." said Sakura.
"But what did you mean by 'this mission'?" asked Kakashi.
"All of you know Naruto's condition with the fox right?" asked Hiruzen and with a nod from all of the team 7 members, he continued "There's a group of very dangerous rouge Shinobis that want to kidnap Naruto for their own benefits that I don't know of as of now. For Naruto to be secured against them, I would like him to go train with Jiraya. He will go with him 1 month after Tsunade becomes the Hokage and he may comeback after 2-3 years."
"2-3 years?" shouted Sakura to which Hiruzen just looked at and continued "Do you understand, Naruto?"
"… Yes gramps…" said Naruto to which Kakashi looked with sad face.
"Well then, everyone is dismissed now. Naruto, go pack up your stuff and meet Jiraya here after half an hour."
With a nod, everyone was gone from the room.
Around 40 Minutes later, Naruto met Team 7 at the gates where everyone said goodbye and Naruto left with Jiraya.
"So brat, I have a cool Jutsu that you might want to learn."
A/N
That's it for this chapter. I know this chapter was more on the boring side but it was more of an epilogue. I just added that Team 7 moment for fun. With this chapter ends the First Arc of this story. I still haven't named this arc though, you can recommend in reviews lol.
This arc also lays the groundwork for future arcs of soon to be ending Classic Naruto story.
One thing I want to say is that I'm really bad at writing dialogues, interactions and stuff. I plan main aspects (like what will happen mainly) of the story first then fill in dialogues, so I'm sorry for any dialogues that don't make much sense.

Nevermind there weren't any questions in the reviews this time around. Thanks for the reviews everyone though.
