(Chapter 2: Just Another Day with Superpowers)

It was a little over a month since Naruto had gained his powers from Arceus, and in that time he'd mainly spent it honing/training with them with Sakura and Sasuke, which worked out wonders for him overall. Considering that with Sakura he got to perfect his at close-quarters combat, while with Sasuke the two would use Naruto's Teleport move to sneak into the Forest of Death and fight the large/mutated animals within it; to both hone their combative skills, and just work on Naruto's powers on live targets.

Yet it was during all of this that Naruto had also taken to using his powers to make avoiding anytime with his family far more effective, seeing as how he could just go across the village at anytime he wanted, and no one could stop him…not to mention it made doing any side-jobs he wanted far more efficient than running around with his head cut off.


(May 9th, 997 S.E, 5:48 Pm, Forest of Death)

It was 12 minutes till 6 in the evening as Naruto and Sasuke had finished killing yet another creature within the depths of the Forest of Death, with the smell of burnt flesh and ozone being present as they stood atop their kill.

"If there's one thing I'll give you credit for, its being an ace with a sword. Because hot damn, you sliced this things' shit up, like it was nothing!" Naruto remarked at the grizzly bear-sized praying mantis that had been viciously dismembered by said Uchiha

"Given that it was made easier with those fire attacks of yours, I'd say that this was yet again another well-done team effort." Sasuke noted over the various scorch marks and the burnt flesh of said giant insect

"By the way, how did you know that it was weak to incendiary attacks?" Sasuke questioned

"I honestly didn't. I just figured, fuck it set the giant insect monster on fire…turns out it worked." Naruto answered back with a shrug of his shoulders

"Luckily, your instincts were right concerning the giant mantis we've just killed. Otherwise, it would have been far more difficult to deal with." Sasuke remarked

"Fair point, my guy…So do you think you got enough in the gas tank for another go around, or do you wanna call it quits here?" Naruto asked the Uchiha

"I have enough energy to take on another monstrosity, do you?" Sasuke asked back

"I've got more than plenty." Naruto answered back ready to go

"Then let us get to it, then. We're burning daylight." Sasuke replied as he stood himself up before sheathing his sword and heading off with Naruto

Then from there, the two went on the search for their next creature to test their might against, dashing like jaguars hunting for their next prey; while keeping an eye for any creature that could come out of the woodwork to ambush them. Something that took the duo not even 10 minutes before they found their target in the form of a large nearly 10 foot tall black bear that had been mutated by the 9 tails chakra, evident by its bright ruby red eyes, greatly defined musculature, its face having partially warped to be more fox-like, and its maw of sharpened teeth that were feeding off the carcass of a freshly killed dire wolf.

Naruto meanwhile used Bulk Up while Sasuke began to quickly sneak around to the opposite side of the area to better flank the mutant black bear while it fed, with Naruto quickly using a 2nd Bulk-Up before he channeled his increased strength into jumping high into the air, and curling in on himself as though he were about to cannonball into the ground…Only much more on fire as he burst into a human pinwheel of flames, as he struck true with a Flame Wheel attack that struck it so forcefully in the back, that it was sent face-first into a nearby tree hard enough that its skull nearly went through the trunk.

The mutant bear was sent further into the tree trunk as Naruto donkey punched in the back of the head via Brick Break, all the while Sasuke had swiftly dashed forward to deliver a flurry of lightning-quick jabs with his Jian; leaving a small handful of gashes and punctures in its right hind leg. All the while Sasuke had to quickly backflip out of the way as the massive bear wrenched its face free from the tree, before going to strike at the Uchiha with both of its massive paws.

However, it never came as Naruto used Protect on Sasuke to shield him from the attack; causing the bears' large paws to bounce off a bright neon orange spiral-shaped barrier, the large ursine roaring as it tried to paw and chomp down on the barrier but to no avail, as neither of its attacks made so much as a single dent in its surface. Meanwhile, Naruto was quick to leap into action with a Thunder Punch to its furry abdomen, causing bolts of lightning to arc across its broad and heavyset form, as it bellowed and roared back from the attack; leaving Sasuke able to use his great speed to rush around the bear and land a sword thrust to its left thigh.

Sasuke then used the leverage of having slashed upwards with his sword to leap up and nimby land between its shoulder blades, and began stabbing and thrusting his blade into its heavily muscled form; causing it to further roar and bellow out in pain as it felt steel pierce through its furred hide. All the while it was having to continued and battle against Naruto who had boosted his speed with Agility; was striking out against it with a combination of Mach and Thunder Punches, that thudded against it with the cadence of a sprinting cheetah that was given PCP.

The black bear on the otherhand was roaring and thrashing about in anger; between being furiously stabbed by Sasuke's blade, and trying to reach behind itself to tear the nimble Uchiha off its bloodying back to no avail, who was able to swiftly dodge its attempts by a little over a hairsbreadth each time, and Naruto's constant onslaught of blows that both pummeled into and electrocuted its abdomen…It did the only thing it knew would get rid of it's assailants, and that was gather up the foul chakra that had suffused its large frame and unleash a deafening roar of great force that blasted Sasuke off of it, and Naruto some 50 feet away from its form.

Luckily, for the careening Uchiha, Naruto was able to use Teleport to send himself to Sasuke and teleport themselves a considerable distance away from the large ursine creature who roared at them both; before charging at them. The duo briefly looked at each other before Sasuke went through hand-signs and Naruto began using Charge as much as he could as the black bear gained ground toward them ever faster.

"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Jutsu!" Sasuke exclaimed as he exhaled a narrow stream of flames toward the bear

Naruto followed suit and unleashed an amplified Thunderbolt in conjunction with Sasuke's fire jutsu, with the lightning having turned pumpkin orange in color as it joined with Sasuke's jutsu to form an electrified stream of flame and fire that barreled towards the ursine creature in question. The combined attack punched into the beast with great force, before subsequently exploding on contact with a mighty THOOOOMMM that shook the ground around them; forcing Naruto to use Protect once more to protect them from the fiery debris that came flying their way from the intense explosion.

The smoke and flames eventually cleared to reveal the heavily burnt albeit still alive mutant black bear that was haggardly lumbering towards them with heavy 2nd degree burns across its body, a 4th of the flesh on its skull scorched away, and patches of scorched flesh and muscle revealed as it shakily hobbled/lumbered towards them. With Sasuke and Naruto briefly exchanged looks with each other before nodding, as Sasuke pumped a large amount of chakra into his legs before rushing forwards in a blur of motion towards the bear and Naruto using Teleport to appear a few feet above the beast in question.

The superhuman blonde's hands glowed a vibrant neon-orange as they turned into wicked-looking claws as he used Slash to carve 4 deep furrows through its flesh, and into its skull causing it to bellow and roar in pain from the deep wounds inflicted upon its face…However, it didn't have to worry about them for too much longer as not even seconds after Naruto had landed his attack; Sasuke blade cleaved through thick sinuous muscle and bone to sever the bears' head from its body at the middle of its thick neck, the massive skull thudding and rolling across the ground.

"That takes care of that, and awesome job on getting the finishing blow, Sasuke! I knew you were a speedy bastard, but damn that was fast." Naruto said to the Uchiha who gave him a small smirk

"Of course. However, our joint attack was what truly sealed the beasts' fate against us. Without that, our fight would have taken significantly longer to acomplish." Sasuke responded as he looked over at the bears' headless corpse

"That just means we're awesome together, if we took down a mutant bear together…Anyways, how about we get out of here and head back to your place for dinner. All this beast-slaying' is making me super hungry." Naruto said whilst his stomach rumbled in agreement

"I'm getting hungry as well. Take us away from here, Naruto." Sasuke said back as he grabbed onto Naruto's shoulder

"Aye, aye, captain. Just hold on!" Naruto told the Uchiha

From there the two vanished out of sight without a trace left behind in their wake…or so they thought as none other than Mizuki who was on patrols in making sure that none of the beasts in the Forest of Death that had been mutated by the 9 tails chakra had escaped its confines…Only for him to be given a first-row seat to having witnessed Naruto and Sasuke not only fight against a mutated beast, but come out on top with the blonde in question having displayed powers that didn't belong to someone who was unable to mould chakra in any capacity.

"Now this is gonna make for one hell of a report!" Mizuki said as he quickly rushed off to report what he'd just witnessed


(The next morning, May 10th 996 S.E, ROOT HQ, 9:45 Am)

It was the following morning as Mizuki was giving the report of what he had prior witnessed to none other than the leader of ROOT himself, who was listening to all of it in rapt attention.

"That is all of what happened, Lord Danzo. Both Naruto and Sasuke had vanished into thin air after they defeated the chakra mutant." Mizuki informed the warhawk

"And you are positive that there wasn't any chakra in any of Naruto Uzumaki's attacks against it?" Danzo questioned his ever-scrutinizing gaze searching for any falsities in Mizuki's words

"I am not making this up at all. I didn't sense or feel any chakra coming from him; when he used an attack against it…It was all purely on his own power. I don't know how he was able to do it, but I saw him make flames and lightning without any hand-signs, or any chakra at all…I-I honestly don't know how else to explain it." Mizuki answered back still flabbergasted at what he'd witnessed the previous evening

"This is most certainly interesting news you've brought me, Mizuki. The fact that Minato's child was able to produce such things without the use of chakra is certainly an intriguing development…" Danzo replied

"Tell me, has he displayed any other abilities beyond that?" Danzo further questioned

"To my knowledge, he has not. Other than teleportation, and being able to summon fire, lightning and a strange barrier to protect himself and others I don't know what else he can do." Mizuki said back to everything he knew to his present knowledge

"Hmm, this definitely presents a rather…unique opportunity. I doubt that Minato or Jiraiya knows of his abilities yet, otherwise they would've done something about it…More than likely try to convince him to join them in their lost cause for widespread peace amongst the nations." Danzo spoke

"So what do you want me to do about this, Lord Danzo?" Mizuki asked

"For now, I want you to keep an eye on Naruto…After all, he trusts you as a teacher does he not?" Danzo told the white-haired Chunin

"He does…Trust me, it isn't a competition between who he likes the most as his favorite sensei, at the academy." Mizuki said to the warhawk with a confident smirk

"Good to know. I want you to continue gaining his trust, get to know him and more about his abilities as best you can. Then if the opportunity presents itself, convince him to join our cause." Danzo instructed of the Chunin

"I will try my best to do so, Lord Danzo. However, this will take a large amount of time to make possible. As convincing someone to join Root right out the gate, isn't exactly an easy sell." Mizuki replied knowing that the endeavor was going to take an extensive period of time

"It shouldn't be that hard to do, given the circumstances of his personal life. The young man wishes for greatness, to prove himself on equal if not greater standing than his siblings, and show that his parents were foolish for taking such stock in the prophecy from what my agents tell me…Therefore, given these factors and additional ones they may appear over time. I am positive that he will join our side." Danzo spoke back with full certainty in his voice

For Danzo knew that Naruto's desire to prove himself and show himself as equal to if not greater than his twin siblings; among other such driving factors in his life, the warhawk knew that with Mizuki acting as his guiding hand that it would ensure Naruto's service within ROOT.

"And what if he refuses to join? Then what do we do?" Mizuki asked the warhawk

"Then we will do nothing else…If we attempt to force him to join against his will, then we risk not only Minato coming down us all. But also the Senju's, The Uchiha's, Kushina and Jiraiya himself…That is a force that despite how far we have stretched ourselves out across the village, and the nations themselves. They are still a threat we cannot take head-on…to do so would be suicide." Danzo answered back

"Understood, Lord Danzo." Mizuki replied

"Nevertheless, is there anything else you wish to report?" Danzo questioned

"Not at the moment, no. The fox brats still while a pair of arrogant, annoying, blood-pressure raising jackasses. They still remain loyal to the village, and thus far haven't shown any signs of corruption from the 9 tails." Mizuki answered back

"That is good to here, Mizuki…While I trust in Minato's sealing abilities. The 9 tailed fox is still a cunning and conniving creature that shouldn't be trifled with. So while its power may be sealed away, its ability to manipulate and control others is not." Danzo said in recognizing the 9 tails as a credible threat regardless of its current state of being
"Do you think it could get them to undo its seal?" Mizuki questioned

"There is a possibility for that no doubt. However, given the fact that Minato and Jiraiya have over the years installed a number of failsafes to prevent its escape. We must also take into account that it has studied the seal that has become its prison, and has been planning ways in which to undo it, or find ways around it. As such while it is a possibility that it could manipulate them, their is also far graver things than its release to worry about." Danzo answered back

"Therefore, I have some of our operatives around the clock monitoring them…We have already suffered from the attack of a 9 tails that was driven berserk by an unknown force. Imagine what it will be like this time, when it is fully cognisant and desires vengeance for having its freedom be denied for a 3rd time?" Danzo queried the white-haired Chunin

"We cannot let another 9-tails attack happen…I refuse to go through another night like that again. Whatever it is you need me to do, to make sure those brats don't bring an apocalypse down on us; just say the word and I'll do it?" Mizuki answered back as the moment his mind created such a possible event; his body almost shuddered at the possibility of a far worse version of the 9 tails attack

"Understand that when and if things progress to the point where they have become pawns of the 9-tails, that you will be the first to know." Danzo told Mizuki

"In the meantime, keep an eye on Naruto Uzumaki, and continue your duties as normal." Danzo ordered

"As you wish, Lord Danzo." Mizuki said before bowing and soon leaving the office of the warhawk

'Hmmm, if I am to play my cards right. Then perhaps, Root will have a contingency plan in place should Minato's children go awry with the 9-tails. After all, it never hurts to have a Plan B in place should Minato and Jiraiya fall or become unable to get the job done.' Danzo said to himself, intrigued by naruto's potential capabilities


(2 days later, Training Ground 7, May 12th, 996 S.E, 4:35 Pm)

It was a few days later as Naruto and Sakura had decided to relax after one of their sparring matches, and just chill with one another.

"So how's learning that whatever style your cousin Raian's friend has been helping you out with?" Naruto questioned his longtime friend

"Oh, you mean my learning the Niko Style? Its been going pretty good, I've finally nailed one of the katas to a tee." Sakura said back with a proud smile

"Really? That's cool!" Naruto said happy for the pink-haired teen

"Trust me its pretty cool too. I just need to work on Fire and Water Katas, since they've got real cool stuff I wanna finish learning." Sakura replied keen to continue her lessons in learning more of the Niko Style

"If I can combine it with my cousins' techniques. Then I can be even more of a menace and stomp the shit out of anyone who crosses me…Oh man, Ino-Pig, that Hyuga-dipshit and your bitch sister won't see what I do to them coming." Sakura added with a monstrous grin

"Hey, if you can make that happen then go for it. Since let's be real all 3 of them are different levels of ain't shit." Naruto said

"Ino acts like she's all that and a bag of chips, just because she's attractive and meanwhile iis about as great to deal with as a cactus enema. Hinata is an almost spineless wallflower who has the confidence of an anorexic Akimichi, on top of being my sisters' yes-woman. Then my sister on the other hand…now that's an entire other bag of worms all together…Seriously if I were to rag on her as much as I wanted too, we'd be here all day." Naruto listed off at the infernal trio of ain't shit

"Yeah, I swear Hinata's gonna get obliterated being around your sister. She's either gonna get herself into something she has no business in, or that skank you call your sister is gonna get her in over her head." Sakura said in regards to the lackey of Naruto's Sister

"Probably, both. Because if there's anyone who can't say no, its Hinata. Its almost like she's allergic to saying it." Naruto replied

"Then again, with how much of a queen bee Mizore is. Then you can't really blame someone like Hinata for doing as she tells her…As we've all seen how she gets when she doesn't get what she wants." Naruto remarked over her rather 'prominent' temper when she didn't get her way

"Your brother and Mizore don't know how to take no for an answer, or learn to take a loss. I mean seriously they get angry over that stuff when it ain't that deep. My mom and my folks tell me no, and I'm throwing a temper tantrum over it." Sakura replied

"I swear they shouldn't be called the chosen ones like they think, more like the chosen overgrown babies, because dear God for the two who are supposed to be the best in our class. Watching them throw tantrums when they can't get their way either in class or when they fuck up, or don't get a present they want…its a bunch of bullshit." Sakura added in disgust of the attitude of Naruto's siblings

As far as Sakura saw it, instead of them being prophesied chosen ones who were being trained as the guardians of the village, especially when one of them proclaimed to soon be the 5th Hokage after their father; to her they were a bunch of overgrown, egotistical, pompous jackasses; that were gonna get themselves or their teammates killed one of these days. Even more so when their classmates couldn't due to much too them given the fact that they had a whole-ass tailed beast to juice them up, or that was their being trained by some of the most powerful shinobi in the village put them in a high enough weight class; that given their natures'...retaliation wasn't an option that was viable.

"Hey, your preaching to the choir on that one. I swear having to live with them is a nightmare and a half…The rare few times you try to do something that shows your even close to their level, and they throw a hissy fit about it… God forbid the one time, I actually beat Toshiro in something and he messed me up real bad." Naruto said rubbing his left side absentmindedly

"You ever think about telling them about what happened? They'd probably understand that they've been doing shit wrong, if you told them about what he did to you?" Sakura asked

"I doubt it, to be honest with you. Pervy Sage has them so wrapped up in this prophecy business, that I doubt it'd do any difference…" Was Naruto's almost melancholic and sobering answer

"But enough about my brother and sister being giant assholes. Let's talk more on how your crushing it with your training, that plus you lookin' swole shit by the way!" Naruto said with a look that Sakura knew too well when it came on the subject of his siblings

"Yeah..yeah. Well, first of all thanks for noticing, since doing strength training with Raian and Karura hasn't been easy. Those two are monsters." Sakura said back

"Considering you do this stuff with the two people in your clan who has nicknames like The Devil of the Kure Clan, and The Succubus…I say that you're getting what you bargained for. Plus did you really expect anything else from them?" Naruto spoke as Sakura went to open her mouth for a retort

"I…but…damn it you're right…FUCK!" Sakura stammered out before cursing

"Of course I am, but anyways, Sakura. At the rate your going, I'm pretty sure that you could take on anyone…heck, I'm pretty sure that you could take on that Neji guy, Hinata's related too." Naruto said while Sakura had a pugnacious grin come across her face at that

"Oh please, Naruto. I know I can take him on in a scrap. It's a big reason why I'm focused on getting the Flame Kata down next. Because I really wanna punish them every time he tries his Gentle Fist crap, then I can hit him with some of the Kure stuff and my Adamantine shit." Sakura said back in complete confidence of herself

"How bad do you think he'd take it when he realizes that he got his shit rocked by you of all people?" Naruto questioned

"He and that Tenten girl will probably have an aneurysm that an 'Uchiha fangirl' rocked his shit faster than Lord Jiraiya could right his next issue of smut." Sakura answered back

"By the way, I still can't believe we came up with that as part of your cover for our plan…By the way, sorry you have to act like such a total numbnuts in class." Naruto spoke still surprised at how they came up with said plan

"Oh no, its all good my man. Plus, it isn't the worst thing we could've come up with. Besides, it isn't that hard to make work. After all, I just gotta wear some weights that I hide under my clothes to slow me down, and use the Transformation jutsu to hide my muscles, and act like a less bitchy Ino." Sakura replied in having not seen her act as all that bad

"Plus it'll be all worth it when you, Sasuke, and I earn our headbands, and get to be on a squad together…Then we can start kicking ass, taking names and doing whatever we want!" Sakura added

"I think the whole doing what we want will come a lot easier once we make Chunin and above." Naruto told her

"You get what I mean.." Sakura said back with a roll of her eyes

"I know, but hey. Once we get our sensei and squad together, then we can put all our shit together, and I can use my new superpowers to wreck shop with you and Sasuke!" Naruto spoke

"I don't doubt that we will…In the meantime, you wanna get baked?" Sakura asked as she pulled out of her satchel a few blunts and her pocket lighter

"Say less, Sakura. Let's light up." Naruto answered back with a grin as he took a blunt from her


(3 days later, Akimichi BBQ, 2:10 Pm, May 12th, 996 S.E)

It was soon a sunny Sunday afternoon as Naruto and Sasuke were eating out at the Akimichi BBQ, and just generally talking it out amongst themselves over things.

"By the way, Naruto. Thanks again for helping me copy that jutsu…That teleportation ability of yours, is certainly useful." Sasuke thanked the blonde

"Not a problem, man. I mean it's not like Kakashi's gonna be busting out that Chidori of his anytime soon. I mean from what I've heard, its been a hot minute since he's used it." Naruto replied as he took another bite out of his pulled pork

"So if anything, I say that jutsu is gonna be in a lot better hands with you, my guy." Naruto added as Sasuke smirked at having added such a powerful jutsu to his arsenal

"I have no doubt it will be. Especially for the fact that once I gain a better comprehension of how to use it, and incorporate it into my repertoire. Then I can begin working on branching it out further, to make it an even better tool for exterminating our enemies." Sasuke told the enhanced blonde

"Sweet! You got any ideas on how to take it to another level?" Naruto questioned
"I have one idea, but it isn't anything too special." Sasuke told the enhanced blonde

"Hey, if you're trying to ramp up what an A-rank jutsu can already do. Then its gotta be something special." Naruto said back, in having thought that what Sasuke was doing was rather awesome

"Alright, fine. It involves me manipulating the shape of the Chidori along the length of sword, or my hand, and turning it into a spear to impale people from a distance. Granted its something that still needs to be put into practice, before it is applicable. However, if I am able to make this technique combat ready; then I will have an even more efficient method of killing from a distance." Sasuke explained as to what his current plan was for the Chidori after he got used to it

"Shit, man, that sounds pretty awesome. Good luck with getting that an the regular ass Chidori all figured out." Naruto said to the Uchiha

"Thanks, I'm going to need it, if I want to have something to help me stand out from my future teammates." Sasuke said back

"Between Sakura being trained by her cousins who are from a clan of super assassins. Then there's you who has been gifted superpowers by a god or some higher form of life…Therefore, I have to do everything possible in my power to make sure I can stand on equal footing with either of you." Sasuke added in knowing that he needed to do everything possible to make himself stand beside his friends as an equal in strength and capability

"Dude your one of the best swordsmen I know, and someone who can put Mizore through the paces in a straight swordfight. You're also smart as a whip, and next to Shikamaru as one of the smartest in our class. On top of that, you got one of the most busted eye-based bloodlines in the village. So if anything, I say that your already on an equal playing field with Sakura and I. Hell if had to say anything, I'd say that if there's anyone I trust to lead me when and if we go on a mission together, then its you…because Sakura'd rather get down in dirty in a scrap, and I'm just happy to freeball it and see what happens. Which is why we need someone with their head on straight, like you." Naruto said to the Uchiha

Since he saw Sasuke as not only a great swordsman and someone who was very much capable with the Sharingan and ninjutsu overall, but also someone who he trusted completely to be a leader when they became genin together. Seeing as how between Sakura, himself and Sasuke; he knew that the Uchiha was the only one out of all 3 that wasn't a chaotic jackass, and someone who could keep them organized and come up with a plan to get the job done.

"I appreciate the kind words, Naruto…Although, someone does have to make sure that the two of you won't get in over your heads. I swear that both of you are a pair of walking disasters." Sasuke thanked Naruto while acknowledging the pure chaos that was both him and Sakura

"Hey, I can't help that things just happen when Sakura and I are together. It just happens to be that they revolve around violence." Naruto answered back

"...How it is that either of you haven't gotten into trouble for beating someone into a pulp yet, is beyond me." Sasuke wondered

"Hey, I don't really do all that stuff. That's Sakura's department, since she's the fucking smoke demon out of all 3 of us." Naruto replied in regards to Sakura's love of fighting/hyper-violence

"Considering what the other half of her family is like, I'm convinced that hyperviolence is genetic with them." Sasuke said back as Naruto chuckled at that

"Considering just what her cousins are like, it definitely is. Even if it wasn't Sakura would still be a menace for the fact that she just likes to hurt and fight people in general…Being around a clan of violent super assassins, especially when one of them is a crazy strong psycho will do that to you." Naruto spoke

'Pretty sure its why if they give her nickname, it'd be The Berserker.' Naruto remarked to himself

"That's fair. Although, I almost feel sorry for whoever our sensei will be in that regard…They'll have to put up with Sakura a punch-happy battle maniac, you a superpowered chaos gremlin, and myself..and I don't even know what I am with you two in the mix." Sasuke replied
"I am so not a chaos gremlin." Naruto said back in faux offense

"You literally used your psychic powers on the Inuzuka clans' dogs last week, to see it you could make a dog stampede happen." Sasuke reminded the blonde in question

"Well, yeah. How else am I supposed to figure out what my mind powers can do…Also, it only half worked, as my range really sucks to try and do big-scale things like that." Naruto said in disappointment of not being able to cause the stampede he wanted

"Yet you still managed to cause a frenzy to happen at their kennels. Kiba's still having to clean up the mess that was left there…I honestly can't blame him ofr having to clean up the horror-show you caused." Sasuke responded in feeling sorry that Kiba had to help clean up shit, piss, broken equipment, fur and other such things

"The only thing I regret is that I couldn't make that shit even bigger…Maybe when I get really good, I should try it out on the deers at the Nara place. Really give those lazy bums something troublesome to worry about." Naruto said with a sinister chortle

"I don't know which is going to be worse to deal with when we become a squad. Sakura being a hyperviolent smoke demon as you put it, or you being a superpowered chaos gremlin." Sasuke wondered

"Probably me, if anything. Because as they say 'variety is the spice of life' and your boy over here has that in spades." Naruto said in full acknowledgement of all the potential bedlam he could cause

"You know you are not helping your case, by admitting to you being a chaotic menace. You know that right?" Sasuke asked his longtime friend

"I know and I don't care, all I know is that I've got powers and I'm gonna do whatever I want with 'em." Naruto said as a devious grin spread across his face

"Should I even want to know about half of what goes on in your head?" Sasuke said as he finished eating his steak

"Its better if you don't. Otherwise, you'd give yourself migraine after migraine from having to deal with my shenanigans." Naruto told the Uchiha

"Fair enough. However, I do ask that you not take your shenanigans within radius of my clan. They haven't done anything to warrant your attention…Except for Itachi, he out of everyone else is free game in my opinion." Sasuke requested from the enhanced blonde

"Oh don't worry, I'd never go after you guys. If anything, you and your folks are on my do not fuck with list." Naruto said back getting a curious look from Sasuke

"Wait a minute. You actually have a list for people; you target for you shenanigans?" Sasuke questioned

"Yup. And on that list its you, everyone in the Uchiha Clan minus Itachi, since he's a workaholic asshat. Sakura and her family, Choji and the Akimichi Clan, Granny Tsunade, Grandpa Dan and my cousins, Mizuki-sensei, and cousin Shizune, Anko's fine ass, and that's about it. Everyone else is fair game." Naruto said as he listed off everyone that was on his checklist of people not to mess with

"...At least I'm on that list, otherwise I'd shudder to think of what you'd do if I wasn't?" Sasuke said in relief of being on that list

"Trust me, Sasuke. If you weren't on it, you'd know…" Naruto told him in all too jovial tone of voice

"Good to know…Anyways, is their anything else you have planned for today?" Sasuke questioned

"Other than some stuff Sakura is gonna help me out with, then not really. Today was just me having a do-nothing-day to myself." Naruto told him

"Why'd you ask? Did you wanna do anything else, other than have lunch?" Naruto questioned Sasuke

"No, I just wanted to ask was all." Sasuke replied

"Alright, well if that's that then. I guess I'll see you later if you don't wanna do anything else." Naruto said as he got up from his seat and left his and Sasuke's payment on the table

"I'm fine. I need to head back anyways." Sasuke said knowing it was his turn to help with babysitting Izumi's kids

"Fair 'nuff. Later." Naruto said before he and Sasuke headed off on their separate ways

So with Naruto continuing to grow in the capabilities of his powers whilst spending time with his friends and potential teammates, we see that Mizuki as a ROOT operative has seen Naruto's new powers and as such plays the waiting game to help ensure that he will come to the side of Danzo as one of his many agents. How will the inheritor of Arceus's will continue onwards as he continues to master his new powers? Find out on the new chapters of Naruto: the PokeSage!


Well that takes care of that as I hoped you guys have enjoyed this chapter and everything that went along with it, as first off yup I'm making Mizuki a much more prominent player than he was in canon, also I am going to make Naruto a chaos gremlin with his powers since it's something you don't normally see in strong Naruto stories and its a shame since Naruto's at his best when he embraces the chaos.

That being said, I hope you guys will enjoy this story since I have more fun stuff to come down the pipeline going forward, so I hope you guys will stick around to see those things happen in Naruto's misadventures. Also, any favorites, follows, reviews or suggestions are more than welcome, as I'm happy to take suggestions on what can make the story better.

But without further adieu this is Pravus666 signing off until next time as next up we'll be getting into the start of summer for our protagonists, and all the stuff that goes with it. So stay tuned for that good stuff.

Now then onto some of the reviews from last time.

SPark681: Well, I'll say this for certain that Naruto's definitely gonna turn into a powerhouse as we get on further into the story. Since with him dealing with potentially multiversal powers, I haven't a doubt that he's gonna get strong as shit...How much stronger is all up to what choices Naruto makes concerning how he uses everything at his disposal.

UnsanMusho: On that subject we also have to consider that its if Naruto even wants to let them repair the relationship. Considering that they can try all they want, but if Naruto won't let them get an inch to even do so; then its gonna be a vastly uphill battle for them to even attempt it. Since for how Naruto feels about them, to quote Jordan from Scrubs 'I don't hate you, I just nothing you.' so as such its simply that and then some in concerns to how Naruto will be with his parents and family.
