Chapter 9-Chunin Exams, recall the Pervert
A week has gone by since the mission to wave was successful, and the return of Minato and Kushina had an interesting effect on the village populace as a whole, which was met by several different changes, like the most notably being the fact that Minato had returned to his position as Hokage and had wrench some nails out of the floorboards, by publically stating that Naruto was his son and any attempt on his life will be met with a life sentence jail time, while the rest of their clan was banished from Konoha (the Haruno Clan was the first to feel it when Sakura [at her mothers request] tried to attack Naruto during the announcement). The least notable different was that with the most of the new configurations of team, Naruto was now able to flourish under the teachings of his sensei and mother Kushina, as well as he teachings under Kurama, who had begun his training in his new powers.
Of course when what seems to a change is on the horizon, there are always things that still stay the same i.e: after it had been proven that Sasuke could not work as a team with his teammates, Minato had placed Sasuke back in the academy for remedial lessons in teamwork and the reaction for all civilian members of the village was to cause an uproar so loud that the Shinobi council thought they missed a member of the Haruno clan and Minato was then inundated for signed partions request Sasuke return to the ninja forces but unlike Hiruzen, Minato still had his backbone and denied every request.
Meanwhile with the new team 7, Kushina was now putting the team threw their paces determined to make a formidable fight force for the Chunin Exams out of them, to that end Naruto, Ino and Hinata were shown all the different warm up exercises they were to do before they walked, jogged and ran 10 laps of the perimeter of training ground 17, after which they would perform pre-taijutsu stretches and then spar with 3 of Kushina's Kage Bunshins. Of course other than the team training sessions, they also train on their own or with their clans, which is where we find Naruto, as he is now seen in his newly modified version of his new outfit that had been chosen by: Ino, Kushina and Hinata, as Naruto was now training in the new powers he had got from Kurama as a side effect, which was pure elemental chakra manipulation, this allowed Naruto to use elemental jutsu without the use of handseal or a physical source in the case of Suiton Chakra.
This is where Naruto is now, flying in the sky above Konoha by: channeling pure Futon chakra threw a series of seals sewn into the wing flap modifications, in his new outfit, while it was not technically flying as it was more gliding, he was using chakra to stay in the air. But all good things must come to an end, as Naruto had now needed to head to his teams training session and so he adjusted his flight path to take him to training ground 17, which were the private training grounds of the Namikaze clan.
As Naruto was heading to his team lessons, Minato was meeting with the remaining members of the Konoha's Jonin, to determine which teams would be ready for the promotion to Chunin; with him were Chunin and Academy teacher Umino Iruka, Mitarashi Anko and Morino Ibiki, with the latters been there as they were chosen to be the proctors of the exams, "Okay," the Yondaime started, "State your team members names and whether you think their ready for a promotion," he finished, knowing that Kushina had already had her team fill out the forms, this was when the bowl cut green beast: Maito Gai stepped up and proclaimed, "Yondaime-sama, it is with a great amount of youth, that I Maito Gai nominate Hyuga Neji, Tenten and Rock Lee of team 9 for the chunin exams," loudly, as his teeth glinted in his finally pose, after that Kurenai and Asuma had stepped up and jointly said that they have decided to nominate their joint teams of 8 an 10 for the exams as well, then once they had finished Iruka then asked, "Kurenai-san, Asuma-san are you sure they are ready for the exams?" when the questioned turned their attention to him, Kurenai said, "Yes Iruka-san! Shino, Choji and Shikamaru are ready for the exams, Kiba may not be but we believe it will be the best way to break him of his perverted attitude towards women and Tsume-sama had requested it as a first step," satisfied Iruka nods and remains silent (caused by the evil smirk on Kurenais face), knowing from the beginning that Naruto had now chance of working well with Sakura and Sasuke, but their was nothing he could do at the time, seeing that the Sandaime deeply entrenched himself in to tradition of placing the Dobe with the Rookie of the year and the top Kunochi of the year (thinking it would balance out the skills sets).
Back with Naruto as he arrives at training ground 17 in a powerful swooping maneuver, where he finds 2 of his female teammates and fiancées: Yamanaka Ino and Hyuga Hinata, after folding his wings up, he gave the girls a hug in greetings and continued to wait with them for their Sensei. Not even 2 minutes later, Kushina had shown up with a mission scroll, "Team, we have a mission," she begins, at their expectant looks Kushina illustrates, "We are to find and return a pervert known as Jiraiya, to Konoha as he has some questions that he'll need to answer for," with the last part being muttered darkly, before she continues with, "So it is our mission, so lets grab the Sakura Hurricanes from the armory and we'll hit the road," hoping that it will be an easy mission, regardless of whether it was a medium A-rank mission and with any luck they'll run into Tsunade as well.
After collecting the Sakura Hurricanes (in lock form) from the armory, team 7 traveled shinobi style to the south gate exit, once there they opened the locks and summoned a life sized Motor cross Bike, which had a cherry blossom motif in its design. Once the bikes were summoned, team 7 swung their legs over the saddle and seated themselves firmly in place, before they floored the accelerators taking off in a cloud of dust and gravel, which pelted the sleeping gate guards and woke them up.
Not to long after team 7 seven had left and the jonin meeting was over, the fiancées of Naruto whom were still in Konoha, had all met together at their favorite sweets shop, for some comfort food to get them threw the loneliness of not been able to cuddle up with Naruto and returned to their new clan house, not that they dived right into eating their bounty first, but they had gone done to compound training grounds (17) and did some skill honing, in order to get the calories off before they put them on. Back on the road, team 7 was just seven hours away from the Yu on Kuni, when they heard the cries of a person and then they spotted a big dust cloud, which was been followed by an even bigger dust cloud.
After spotting both dust clouds, Kushina sighed already understanding what was happening and what had caused it, and with a signal to her team, she guided them to side of the road and let the first dust cloud, once it had Kushina then used: Doton; Tsuchi no Tate, to block off the bigger dust cloud, which then allowed the first dust cloud the disappear and be replaced by an old white haired man wearing a Kabuki dancer outfit, his appearance made the genin of team 7 brake down into hysterics.
"Long time no see, you old pervert," Kushina stated, earning herself a tick mark on the head of the man she was speaking to, once he had recovered from the shock of seeing the believed dead Kushina alive and kicking (not physically yet), "Kushina-chan," he started, but had no idea of what to say to her, so he had just kept quiet and that was when he caught a scroll that had been thrown at his head, but before he could get the chance to even glance at the scroll, the man was met by an obscene amount of pain delivered to his crotch, by the foot of Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto whom then said, "Stop perving on my teammates," as he had caught subtly glance the man had been making towards Ino and Hinata.
Recovering quickly under the furious glare of Kushina, the man now known as Jiraiya composed himself enough to read the scroll and his fear increased with each read line, by the time he had finished the scroll Jiraiyas face was now so white that his white hair looked a creamy color in comparison. Of course before, Jiraiya could make another getaway, Kushina and Naruto wrapped him up in chains of solid chakra and then processed to drag him on the ground back to Konoha between their bikes, all the while been followed by a busty blond woman and 2 other attractive women.
