Despite the horny daze Anko left him in, it didn't stop Daiki from scouring the gathered genin ready and waiting to take the exam with his eyes.

And it didn't take him long to pick out his target.

…Not the Star team though.

No, rather, he found an Iwa team, compromising of three males, all older than him, each uniformed in states of red dress a lot like the upper rank outfits that typical Iwa Chunin and Jonin tended to wear.

The red drew his eyes like a bull and his horniness was forgotten, his crimson iris' gleaming.

'They'll do.' he grinned savagely.

Especially since he could see they had an Earth Scroll.

Perfect, not only could he blow off some steam by slaughtering those damn rock humpers, he could test out a little something he wanted to try out and get what he needed to pass the exam at the same time.

It was a win, win, win for everybody! And by that, he meant him, and not them, because those fuckers didn't deserve to win anything. They were losers after all.

Minutes later, they were directed to the gates around the training ground. Daiki made sure to get one right next to the Iwa Team.

And kept his eyes straight forward and set.

And not long later, Anko announced the beginning of the exam, and every single team shot through the gates.

They each had five days to pass the exam.

Daiki wouldn't even need two hours.

He turned and looked to his right in the direction of where the gate the Iwa team entered through, and easily found them with his eyes. With the sheer range on his gaze, he could see the entirety of the forest for the most part just by sweeping his gaze.

If he had the three hundred sixty degree vision of the Byakugan as well, he could monitor the entire forest with his eyes literally closed.

The tree branch he'd landed on after entering the forest, splintered and fell apart as he took off with a body flicker, grin stretching his cheeks as he chased his prey.

As he travelled, Daiki focused chakra into his eyes, and a shimmering red dust formed around him spreading out from his iris', before rapidly submerging into his body.

He completely hide his chakra signature. Now, not even a sensor ninja would be able to sense his chakra even if he was right behind them.

It didn't take him long to catch up to his targets.

They weren't on the move long for all after all.

As soon as they had travelled far enough to reach a small clearing, they quickly jumped to the ground and formed a barrier of stone up over them, hiding them from view and protecting them at the same time, almost like a shell.

To bad for them, the Shinkugan could see right through any solid object with ease. And as long as he could see something with his eyes, he could also hear anything within that sight.

"So what's the plan Haruto?" One of them asked, he was among two that were kneeled down looking to one of them specifically, the one who was taking the lead specifically.

"We'll keep it simple," the one he asked, Haruto replied, placing a finger on the ground, "I memorized the chakra signatures of most of our competitors, so we can hunt them at our leisure boys."

The other one who hadn't spoken, an ugly, stout looking fuck with a fat round nose and water eyes grinned, "We should go after one of those rookie tree hugger teams," he suggested, "They had some real lookers, yeah?"

The first one nodded in agreement, "Yeah yeah, that Yamanaka was a real looker and her team looked super weak right?" he suggested, "I'd prefer to get my hands on that proctor lady though, Anko was it? Did you see the tits on that bitch? I'd love to see her act all cocky and full of shit like before after I got my hands on her."

"Not a bad idea, though I'd rather go for the team with that Hyuga bitch," Haruto sniggered and nodded, "Couldn't see much through that jacket of hers, but sensei told me that Hyuga women are amazing in bed and always have big tits as well, he and his team got their hands on one of their branch members back in the Third war apparently, said it was the best pussy he ever had."

'Alright, that's about enough out of you trash.' Daiki snorted in disgust, as if trash rock humpers deserved to ever get their hands on a Konoha beauty.

With just a thought, the Kiba blades appeared in his hands, summoned from the Dimension Force Seal and he flowed his lightning chakra through it.

A pair of powerful crackling aura's of lightning shimmered over the blades and Daiki pushed off the tree branch a hundred feet above where he was observing.

A split moment later, his blades carved through the earth dome like a pair of hot knives through butter.

The dome shattered apart, and he was in amongst them before they even realised it. The right blade lashed out and sliced right through Haruto's arm, lopping it off at the shoulder.

The idiot only had time for his eyes to widen and not even register the pain before his foot connected with his temple and smashed him hard, the Iwa ninja sent flying through the air from the blow.

"Haru-" the one who wanted to get his hands on Ino gaped in shock, but again, was too slow to do anything with the surprise attack

His left blade stabbed straight through his stomach and then lit him up like a Christmas tree.

He screamed in agony, before going limp.

He pulled his sword out and turned to the last, who had the sense to jump away from him.

The stone shinobi gaped at Daiki, before a furious snarl overtook his features, "You…you bastard!" he roared, running through hand seals, eight of them in rapid succession, landing on the snake seal to end with, "Earth Style: Stone Dragon Jutsu!"

The ground underneath their feet rumbled and broke apart, a large serpentine dragon made of stone shooting up from the crevice in the ground and shooting towards him rapidly.

Daiki mentally admitted, that the fact he could use a dragon style jutsu was impressive. The elemental dragon techniques were all powerful upper level B-rank techniques after all.

It was just too bad for him.

Daiki was his opponent.

He heaved one of the Kiba blades over his shoulder and tossed it like a javelin at the approaching earth dragon.

The blade pierced straight through the jutsu in the blink of an eye and pierced deep into the stomach of the Iwa shinobi.

He staggered back, gasping in pain, but remained on his feet.

Only for with a thought from Daiki, the blade to pull itself out of the wound and spin like a buzz saw around him, slicing off his arms.

He screamed in bloody agony.

And then his legs.

He screamed even louder.

Before the blade shot back through the air to Daiki's hand.

"DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT!" the rock genin roared, "YOU DAMN LEAF B-"

He never got to finish as Daiki appeared at his side, a merciless grin on his face, "Shut the fuck up you rock humping piece of trash." Daiki spat, cutting him off.

The Kiba blades returned to his Dimension Force Seal with a thought and he reached down and grasped the now limbless and dying Iwa genin by the throat and lifted him up.

"That was some pretty nice jutsu you had there, I think I'll see about plucking them right out of that useless little miner head of yours." Daiki's scarlet red eyes gleamed with malevolence.

They were the perfect targets after all, to see just how far into the minds of others he could reach with his doujutsu.

When he was done, Daiki found himself having to sit down. His head was absolutely killing him.

'Not my best idea.' he grimaced, sitting atop the comatose body of the Iwa Genin, Haruto.

He wasn't dead…yet.

He may as well have been though, he'd kicked his body over to sit on his back for a reason. He was foaming at the mouth after all.

As were the other two…well, the limbless one had already bled out and died, but before he did, he'd foamed at the mouth as well.

Let it be known, that breaching any further into someone's mind than their surface thoughts with his eyes….was not a gentle process. In fact, Daiki was pretty sure he'd tore their consciousness' apart.

'Super inefficient too.' he grimaced.

He'd gotten some of what he wanted, earth style ninjutsu and how to train the basics of earth nature chakra, but for the most part, he was just bombarded with their general lives, he didn't even find out anything he didn't already know about the Hidden Stone village itself.

But the vast majority of the memories he ripped from their heads, were absolutely useless to him and just formed together to give him the mother of all headaches.

…Though he did learn something interesting.

This team of mini rock humpers. Their sensei, was one of the shit heads who killed him originally.

Hideo Itsuki, part of the Hidden Stone's Explosion Corps.

A chuckle escaped Daiki, soon transitioning into a full bodied laughter that echoed ominously through the forest.

'I'll remember that name.' he vowed. All manner of thoughts ran through his mind, all centred on revenge and how to make the man suffer.

It was almost too bad this rock humper team was a full team of males, if there was a kunoichi amongst them, he might have taken Anko up on her advice.

"Well…no point hanging around here." Daiki grimaced, standing up and ignoring his headache.

He looked at the comatose, foaming mouthed Haruto, before spitting on him and kicking him through the air, "Trash." he said simply.

Before crossing his fingers together and forming a shadow clone.

Then he held out his heaven scroll and the earth scroll that he'd looted from the three stupid useless weakling trash miners for his copy to take.

The clone accepted them with a nod, and without saying a thing leapt into the trees and rushed towards the tower in the centre of the forest.

There was more he wanted to check out in the forest, but that was no reason why he shouldn't break the exam record of four hours before Gaara and his siblings and make it his bitch.

With his clone gone to complete the exam for him, Daiki idly looked around, his gaze sharpening with chakra and peering over the vast scope of the forest itself.

He found team seven easily enough, and didn't see anyone within their range quite yet. He located the grass team easily enough as well and it was easy to see the switch had taken place already just from the sheer amount of chakra the grass genin he'd observed before, now had.

They weren't anywhere close to Sasuke and his team, but then, the exam had only been going on for about twenty minutes or so.

'Maybe I should go pay a visit to the star team?' he wondered. Though, definitely not to follow Anko's advice.

He wanted to absorb some of their chakra, especially from the guy who had so much of the star chakra it was physically seeping into his body and damaging him.

He could stimulate the chakra itself, or even have Isobu do it and have no need to go for the star itself.

The Mysterious Peacock Method was very interesting. It was pretty set in what it could and could not do, but the chakra manifested with the technique was incredibly dense, a shroud that was physical and stronger than steel. It reminded him a lot of the Susanoo of the Uchiha Clan's Mangekyou Sharingan.

If he could learn to use that technique in conjunction with say, Isobu's Chakra Cloak, it would work as armour for him as well, and then he could reverse it around to use his own chakra as armour in full Bijuu Mode.

With his thoughts on that, he made his through the three iwa bodies, looting them for all they were worth and absorbing every little bit of chakra they had in their bodies with the Infinite Armour.

They were definitely dead now.

But at least they were worth more now than they were in life as rock trash.

With that done, he searched the forest with his eyes, searching for the star team, 'It's too bad I can't get my hands on a Susanoo of my own, combining it with the Mysterious Peacock Method would be insane.' he mused.

But the only Sharingan around now were either in Danzo's possession or Obito's. Well, Sasuke and Itachi had sharingan as well, but he wasn't going after their eyes.

Honestly, he'd much prefer Shisui's eyes and Susanoo, that guy was awesome.

…But his eyes were gone, one in Itachi's possession, the other in Danzo's, which meant he'd have to gank both of them to get both eyes for the Susanoo.

Daiki paused.

Wait.

'Isn't Shisui's body in the Naka River?' Daiki suddenly remembered. Sure it would be in a terrible state having been down there for years now, and it didn't have his eyes anymore…

But, Seimi's corpse had long since lost its eyes among other things and using enough life force his body had been restored to its prime, eyes regenerated and all.

And he'd built up quite a decent amount of life force within the Infinite Armour since he got it, he hadn't even used any for himself yet.

Of course, the eyes would be useless to him since he already had a much better doujutsu than the sharingan.

Shinkugan all the way.

'A seal could work though.' he mused. Maybe one based on the four symbols seal, on his eyes themselves, or maybe on his face connected to his optical nerves?

He'd seal the Sharingan into the Shinkugan and make the Shinkugan the jinchuuriki more or less of the Sharingan, allowing him to use the abilities of the Sharingan through the Shinkugan as well.

…Yeah, that could work. And it would be simpler even than designing a seal to hold in a bijuu.

It would probably take a while, at least a week or two even with clones helping with the process, since he'd need to alter the four symbols seal itself. Though, the seals he'd learned for absorbing chakra from the Infinite Armour and Chakra Armour would be a big help for linking the chakra of the eyes themselves.

Yes, he liked this idea.

"Kehahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha!" laughter erupted from Daiki, yes. this he could work with!

He could just imagine it now. Bijuu Mode + Majestic Attire Susanoo + Mysterious Peacock Method. With Isobu's absurdly durable shell plus them, few could ever hope to damage them!

'You know you're sounding a bit like a villain now, and that crazy laughter in no way helps.' Isobu deadpanned.

'Oh c'mon, I'm just happy.' Daiki protested, stopping his laughter.

'Oh, I know, I'm just saying, you shouldn't do that in public.' Isobu replied.

Greatness was always stared upon with jealousy he supposed. And laughing like a crazy lunatic wouldn't attract hot chicks for sure.

'You didn't need to ruin my buzz though,' Daiki pouted, 'For that, I'm not telling you of my idea to make you way stronger.'

'….I already know though, I'm privy to your innermost thoughts.' Isobu deadpanned.

Stupid badass giant epic turtle.

Isobu snorted.

Daiki put him out of mind for now, and bit his thumb, drawing blood and running through hand seals, "Summoning Jutsu!"

He had the best summons for this job anyway.

While the original Daiki was busy with his evil scientist shtick , his clone was making a beeline straight for the tower in the centre of the forest.

For all the time it took others to get there, Daiki, having the scrolls needed and being able to see his destination…didn't take long to get there.

And long before anyone else at that.

He entered one of the many doors of the tower, closing the door behind him and finding himself in a wide open spacious room, two doors on each side of the opposite wall, while in the middle a message sat on the wall.

'…Without heaven…'

It was a fragmented message, and a hint for anyone who made it this far with both scrolls, to open them now.

As he unrolled the scrolls and idly glanced at the seals engraved in them, before tossing them on the floor, Daiki idly wondered who would be coming to see him to congratulate him on passing.

There was a poof of smoke as the summoning matrix activated.

…He wasn't at all expecting the one who appeared though.

A familiar elderly man, liver spots on his face, adorned with red and white robes and a kickass pointy hat.

"Ah, Daiki-kun," the Sandaime greeted him with a smile, "I expected you to reach here first I know, but not this quickly. Thirty eight minutes since the exam started, I have to admit, I am impressed."

For a moment, Daiki just stared at the old man before sighing and shrugging, "Not really, I could have finished this in less than ten minutes if I really wanted to." he admitted. He'd taken it kind of leisurely really, if he wanted to, he could have stolen another scroll from Anko and just made a beeline here.

"Is that so?" the Hokage hummed lightly, "Well, be that as it may, you absolutely crushed the previous record of four hours by a landslide, your name will go down in the history of the chunin exams I dare say."

Huh…sweet.

"Cool," he grinned lightly, "So, can I ask why you appeared Hokage-sama?"

"It is tradition for me to congratulate the first ones to pass the exam," the Sandaime answered easily before lightly clicking his tongue, "Actually Daiki-kun, I dare say after what we've talked about in the past, that it's fine for you to drop the formality with me, right? I'd much prefer you to be comfortable around me."

Daiki raised an eyebrow at the man, before shrugging, "Sure, whatever you say old man." he replied.

In response, Sarutobi chuckled, and if Daiki's ears weren't deceiving him, he heard fondness in his tone, "Ah, there's the real you," he noted, "Brash and straightforward, like Naruto-kun in that regard."

"Nah, I'm way cooler than Naruto," Daiki crossed his arms and retorted, "I have an epic turtle, he has a fox with bunny ears."

Sarutobi raised a white eyebrow at him at his words, but didn't comment, "I have actually been meaning to ask, how has your situation with your new…tenant going?" the old man asked.

"Awesomely," Daiki responded, "Sanbro is the best. He even taught me a bunch of water jutsu that his old host, Yagura knew."

"Sanbro?" the Sandaime's second eyebrow raised and he chuckled as Daiki shrugged.

'Oh dearly departed father, I didn't think it could get worse. Can we go back to Isobro instead?' Isobu groaned in his head, 'This host was clearly a mistake, listening to their idiocy in multi-stereo with these clones is horrible.'

Daiki ignored Isobu's melodramatics. He knew the turtle was just playing it up.

"But yeah, it's going fine, you don't need to worry about it." Daiki added.

"Forgive me, an old man worries sometimes despite evidence pointing to no need of it, you are in a bit of an odd situation, there's never been a Jinchuuriki like you to my knowledge," the old man apologized, "But enough of that, I'll take your word for it, there is something I wish to ask of you, here and now."

Daiki forced the grimace that wanted to surface on his face down, "…And that would be?"

"You already know," the old man smiled knowingly, "I've kept my distance and not brought it up, but the period leading up to the exam finals will be good time to make use of. Daiki-kun, will you, or will you not, accept my offer to become a candidate for Hokage?"

…Damnit, he knew it was coming.

"What do you mean by the period leading up to the exam finals?" he asked, deflecting.

Sarutobi clearly knew what he was doing, but answered nonetheless, "You are powerful for your age, but without the power of the Sanbi, you don't even come close to the power and ability required of a Hokage," the old man explained, "Being Hokage is not just about leading the village, but being the protector of the village as well, the main pillar that holds this village up on their shoulders, the two main qualities needed of a Hokage are love for this village and the strength to protect it."

"…Not the leadership ability and intelligence?" Daiki couldn't help be question.

"While it would be preferable for them to have that as well, they are lesser needed than what I just listed, advisors and those you trust can shoulder those responsibilities if needed," the Sandaime shook his head, "That is why, if you accept, I will personally oversee your training. But, do keep in mind, you will not become Hokage for years yet if you accept, so do not feel pressured by that."

It was such a good deal to be honest on that front. Training from the Professor himself, who like Kakashi was known to know over a thousand jutsu, but unlike Kakashi, had mastered each and every single one.

"What if you die before I'm ready?" Daiki needed to ask, he wasn't an idiot, he'd looked up the laws of the village itself thoroughly after the old man had gave him the offer, "If you pick me as your successor and train me as such, if I'm not ready for it and you die, I'll be thrust into the position."

The Hokage's word was law in this village. If they chose a successor, then they were the next Hokage. Others like the Daimyo only had a say in the next Hokage, if the Hokage themselves passed away without picking a successor.

Which was the problem, because if things didn't go well, a month from now, this man would be dead. And if he accepted his proposition, Daiki would be thrust into the position of Hokage.

"There's no need to worry about that," the Hokage chuckled lightly, waving off his concerns, "While I am indeed old, I dare say I'm not close to dying any time soon yet, especially considering that old gnome Onoki is still going strong."

…That, was not what he wanted to hear. The old man all but confirmed if he accepted, he'd be chosen as his successor and end up Hokage if the man died during the Konoha Crush.

Fuck!

"…If I accept will I be able to look at the stuff in the Forbidden Scroll?" he asked.

"Yes," Sarutobi replied simply, "Actually, you'll be required to, just in case some of the jutsu in there ever see the light of day and need to understand and combat them."

Double fuck.

Like, that was such an amazing fucking offer. It made it all the more tempting to take the old man up on said offer.

'…Should I?' he thought, his mind was racing with all the possibilities.

To save the Hokage, he'd probably need to get involved in that fight somehow. Maybe get Jiraiya involved as well. He could free up Jiraiya with his own summons to deal with Orochimaru's...probably.

But, getting involved in that fight, he would definitely have to use Isobu's power and would reveal his status as a Jinchuuriki.

Either way, the Akatsuki would learn of his status somehow if he really got involved fully in the Crush.

But…access to the Forbidden Scroll and personal teaching from the Sandaime Hokage, the Professor and third God of Shinobi himself…

With his clones, it would amount to much more than just a mere month of training. If he pushed to using up to fifty clones a day for training…

That could amount to nearly four years of ninjutsu and other discipline training under the man.

That…that may make him more than a match for dealing with the Akatsuki, especially since he knew all of their abilities.

Daiki grit his teeth-

"Fuck it!" he shouted, making the Sandaime blink in surprise, "I'll do it old man, sign me up, I'll go full in!"

…And if he did end up Hokage at the Crush, he'd just train Naruto and foist the hat on him.

Yeah…yeah, that'll work!

Sarutobi chuckled, "Well, a bit dramatic of you, but I'm glad to hear it," the old man mused, "Very well, from now on Daiki-kun, you will by my student. We'll be beginning your training as soon as this secondary exam finishes."

"Sounds good," Daiki grinned, punching his fists together, "I've got a bunch of other jutsu to get down, it'll be quicker with your help."

He had a bunch of wind jutsu to get down that Yagura knew of and now the Earth jutsu he yoinked from those rock humpers minds.

"That will be no problem," the old man nodded, "Though, I think you should dispel now right clone-kun? And let Daiki know all of what we talked about."

As expected, the old man Hokage knew he was a clone, "Sure thing Hokage-sensei." Daiki grinned at the man, before doing just that and dispelling himself.

The original Daiki, after summoning one of the chameleon clan and assigning them the fetch quest of finding and retrieving Shisui Uchiha's corpse for him, decided to go take a look at the team from the Hidden Star village.

He mostly kept his distance from them, just examining them from afar with his eyes and noting how they moulded and used their chakra and memorizing the hand seals used.

"Hmm.." he noticed in interest, as they stopped atop a massive tree, overlooking a wide spacious clearing with a cave leading underground.

It wasn't hard to see why they stopped, it was because there was a fight currently going in in the middle of the clearing.

It wasn't any shinobi or kunoichi fighting though. It was a massive, massive bear, easily over a hundred feet tall, facing off against a pair of much smaller, but still massive wolves.

They were odd for wolves though. Easily fifty feet or so tall, with blue-grey and white fur, and black lion like manes around their necks. Though, one of them had an extra bit to their mane that came up over their head like a spiky black mohawk.

They were Black Mane Wolves if he wasn't wrong. They were native to fire country, though, these ones were much, much bigger than than the usual variety of them that were more akin to the size of normal wolves.

…Why the hell did every creature in the Forest of Death end up supersized?

And it was odd in of itself that they were actually facing off against the much bigger bear. But, a single glance at the cave entrance and seeing underground with his eyes told him why.

Four much smaller wolves were hiding within the cave itself, out of sight. He said smaller, but they were still massive compared to normal wolves, a good ten to fifteen feet in height.

Wolf pups he assumed, and the two fighting were the parents trying to protect them.

Just then, a rush of memories streamed through his mind and Daiki froze, "…That damn fucking clone!" he snarled.

He would have accepted the offer as well, since the clone was literally him…but blaming the clone itself made him feel better.

'…Guess I really do need to speedrun shit now.' Daiki grimaced. He needed to get his hands on all the available power ups he could and become one with the grind if he wanted things to go his way now.

And that's us back again with chapter 22

I'm gonna address something here, a continuation of what I said before about the sperging about Kurenai. When I say sperging, I don't just mean people whining in reviews, I mean the absolute clowns mass pming me death threats and flaming me because I made Kurenai a 'slut'. To be perfectly honest, I don't really care if any of you stop reading over the Kurenai thing. I get a laugh out of some of you spouting nonsense though about this reserved ice queen type that fanon portrays her ass. Canonically Kurenai is an alcoholic party girl, that has alcohol every single night, a prideful incompetent one at that. Kakashi stomped all over Kurenai's pride, especially over Hinata whom she had taken more pride in for her progress after Yakumo. She tried to soothe that injured pride by testing Daiki, but Daiki had no interest in her at all and looked down on her, leading to her pride getting stomped on again, this time by a genin and the only apparently responsible for Hinata's progress and not her. So she offered the only thing that came to mind that would entice a teenage boy without a doubt, her body. As for Asuma, those whining over him being cucked and whatnot, most of you apparently can't read for shit when Kurenai's pov specifically addressed them being on a break. Case closed, if it bothers you, stop reading cuz I don't give a shit if it bothers you. In fact, the more clowns whine at me and mass pm me filling up my inbox because they're sperging out, the more it makes me want to keep shit like it coming.

Funnily enough, it's not only Kurenai being sperged out, I've had literal losers raging at me over me thinking Shikamaru didn't deserve to be chunin, claiming a whole other lot of nonse, one even going on about how strong and amazing Shikamaru is. Chunin, are expected to lead genin on missions. Shikamaru has the maturity and intelligence to be a chunin for sure, but he lacks the strength. If he's on a team with a bunch of genin, the leader of them...how's he expected to do anything about any actual strong ninja, bind them and wait until he runs out of chakra? No, neither strength or intelligence are enough alone, and both should be required. No idea why anyone even likes Shikamaru now considering all the hate Naruto gets about being an absentee father and shit, which all comes back to Shikamaru himself.

Anyway, I've made my point clear, if you don't like that I don't ride Shikamaru's dick, too bad, feel free to drop it, because spoiler, he ain't becoming a chunin through this chunin exam.

That's this chapter done with, and I'm up to chapter 31 on the Pa-atreon.

Anyway, again, shameless Pa-atreon plug. I've got one, go by the same username on there, easy to find and all that jazz. Support me if you want, it'd be swell, but don't feel pressured lads and ladies, I'll be uploading my stuff outside it regardless and not keeping it all behind a paywall or anything like that.
