(Chapter 5: We're goin' Live y'all!)

The month of July would come with a swiftness for Naruto who since his absorption of the Meadow Plate had gone to work in mastering the newfound techniques he'd gained from it, on top of perfecting both the new moves he'd gained from his encounter with the golem and ones already had at his disposal… Beyond that, he was also training and sparring with Sasuke and Sakura when it came to both the use of his powers, and his close-quarters capabilities, both of which were growing at a stellar rate in the blondes' eyes.

Yet what had Naruto truly excited was the fact that he'd been invited and was currently with Mizuki on one of his bounty-hunting jobs, this one apparently being a B-ranked missing ninja who had become a prominent bandit lord that was ripping shit up across Fire Country; something he was all too keen for, since it meant he could finally fight in live combat.


(July 4th, 996 S.E, Fire Country, 7:25 Am)

It was nearly half past 7 in the morning as Naruto and Mizuki had taken cover in some underbrush, as they watched the bandits eating their breakfast and be in the starting phases of packing up their camp.

"By the way, Mizuki-sensei. Your cool if I use some of what I got to take these guys down with you, right?" Naruto asked the white-haired Chunin

"If it can help us take out the target more effectively, then go it." Mizuki told the superhuman blonde

" , here goes nothing." Naruto replied as he took a deep inhale

Mizuki then watched as the blonde's chest began to expand to an almost outrageous degree, before he exhale a large cloud of pumpkin orange and deep amazon green spores that flew towards the encampment as a widespread yet fine multicolored fog. With the fog descending over half of the encampment like snow on a hazy winters day…however, instead of feeling the slight chill that would come on such days; yet the moment they breathed in the spores they felt their bodies quickly seize up and fall to the ground; or freeze in place.

The assortment of bandits and raiders affected by the ever-encroaching fog of Naruto's Stun Spores found themselves unable to move so much as even a centimeter as their muscles and nerves betrayed them; in the vice grip of Naruto's move…Mizuki now knew why it was that Naruto requested he wear a gas mask on this particular job, as he strapped it on as he rushed forwards to take advantage of their paralysis and unsealing a kanabo made of solid black steel went to work; as Naruto rushed right beside him in the now evergrowing bedlam.

The white-haired Chunin then used his kanabo to great effect either brutally the paralyzed raiders skulls into a bloody pulp, or slam into their paltry leather armor and shatter their ribs/rupture their innards as though they were made of fragile pottery. Meanwhile, Naruto was tearing through anything in his way using Agility to amp up his speed and using a combination of Quick Attacks and follow-through Mach Punches to blitz his way through those affected by his Stun Spore to devastating effect.

Those that weren't affected and scrambled to equip themselves against the duo received worse fates than their paralyzed counterparts, seeing as how against those that didn't flee upon seeing the massacre before them and managed to grab whatever weapons they could to fight against Mizuki and Naruto…it didn't end well, to say the least. Seeing as how Mizuki would unleash more of his strength to cause the bandits heads to cave in like one would stomp an empty beer can in half, or going as far as to ram his kanabo through their chests like they were made of paper, and using the occasional earth jutsu to send stone shards piercing through their bodies.

All the while Naruto decided to just become a full-blown smoke demon and use his inhuman speed to either quick literally punch basketball-sized holes in their torso's and stomachs with Brick Breaks and Thunder Punches, or disembowel them with the greatest of ease with a blindingly-quick Slash attack, as his hands went through their flesh like butter. Naruto soon using Poison Sting to send out bright violet needles of toxic power that pieced into their throats, skulls, and stomachs, causing them to gasp violently and foam at the mouth as they felt their very blood turn to rot in their veins, and their throats close up.

The effort taking a little under 8 minutes before the duo was able to go through the encampment and butcher those within it, as they had killed anyone within their crosshairs; or caused those who understandably saw the carnage unfold to flee for their lives without a moment's hesitation…However, despite the moments of calm that came from their victory, it didn't last long when Naruto had to counter a swarm of Water Fang Bullets that came rocketing towards them with his own Seed Bombs; causing the projectiles to explode harmlessly in the air.

The culprit after trying to launch another sneak attack with a wakizashi that was deflected off of Mizuki's kanabo, was revealed to be a Takigakure shinobi who wore an outfit that was one part jonin outfit, and one part slightly-worn down half-plate armor, as he dual-wielded wakizashi in either hand. Said jonin in question who had a mane of vibrant neon blue hair and golden eyes were monologuing on about how he would make Naruto and Mizuki pay for killing his minions, especially after consuming more of the Hero's Water that endowed him with what he called 'almighty power' beyond that of any shinobi.

Or so he would've had Naruto in not wanting to here in run his mouth used Teleport to appear behind the man and unleash a point-blank Sludge Bomb that had him tumbling and rolling away 12 feet away from Naruto from the concussive force behind it, as he yelled out in pain from feeling the toxic sludge corrode through his armor and eat away at his flesh.

"Alright, in my defense, he was talking too much and I got sick and tired of hearing it." Naruto said to Mizuki

"That's not what I was gonna be on to you about, so much as you teleporting…But at least you nailed him with something." Mizuki responded

"I promise, I'll tell you that later…Right after we kick the shit out of this guy." Naruto said back

"Listen here you little shit, I'll…" The Rogue Taki shinobi said

Or rather tried to say as Naruto used Vine Whip to summon forth a gnarled thorny vine from the ether to try to bitch slap the Taki jonin, who was barely able to block the whip from taking his eye out; although he wasn't quick enough to prevent the next Vine Whip from cracking itself against his throat with a sharp THHWAACCK! The rogue waterfall Jonin recoiled, clutching at his bruised and bleeding throat; while Naruto began to wind up for another crack of his Vine Whip, all the while Mizuki came rushing to nail them across the face with his Kanabo; that they managed to parry albeit wincing and gritting in pain from the poison that flowed through their veins.

With the rogue waterfall Shinobi went in for a swift thrust to Mizuki's gut that was intercepted by the crack of Naruto's Vine Whip wrapping around their wrists; before he used it as the vehicle to electrocute them with a Thunderbolt; that shrouded their body in violent arcs of blue and orange lightning. Said dual-wielding shinobi bellowed out in pain as Naruto continued to electrocute them, the smell of burning flesh and ozone bursting to life; before Mizuki proceeded to crack his electrified target with a liver shot from his kanabo and subsequently round back again with a jaw-cracking swing to their face.

Said rogue jonin managed to despite being viciously electrocuted by Naruto, quickly cut the thorny vine wrapped around their wrists and managed to disengage from Mizuki before he could land a blow to their temple, unfortunately for them Naruto was able to teleport behind them and land a rabbit punch via a Brick Break to their noggin'-staggering them from the force behind it. Before Naruto followed through with a Slash to the middle of their back that sliced a chunk of their backplate off, and promptly followed through with a Psycho Cut that carved through armor and flesh, sundering nearly 3 of their ribs from the powerful attack.

Naruto then quickly used Teleport to evade getting stabbed by the dual wakizashi as the rouge Jonin staggered as he felt his veins itch and burn as though his blood was melting, in part from the toxic sludge that infested his body, as he began to break out into a feverish sweat…However, those thoughts were interrupted the moment that Mizuki crashed into him with his kanabo; the rogue jonin grinding his teeth to fight through the pain of it while the large club bared down on him.

The two opposing forces struggled as the poisoned jonin felt his limbs burn and his muscles feel as though they were melting, as he tried to push back against Mizuki who continued to smash into him like a furious oni on crack; to literally break down his defenses…The operative word being tried as Naruto used Agility and Charge to rush forward as quickly as possible and sucker punch the rogue jonin with a ferocious Thunder Punch, sending said jonin flying headfirst into an oak tree hard enough to violently splinter and crack apart its trunk.

"Good shot, Naruto." Mizuki said to the enhanced blonde

"Thanks, but I don't think we're out of this yet." Naruto spoke as he saw the poisoned Jonin go through hand-signs

As such Mizuki quickly put an Earth Release: Mud Wall to protect himself and Naruto against a Water Dragon Bullet, with the poisoned jonin having to use a considerable amount of chakra in order to substitute for the lack of a water source as it tore into the earthen barrier. Mizuki having had to pump a good chakra in order to sustain it against the elemental attack that cracked apart and tore into the earth jutsu, all the while Naruto who had been using Bulk Up; told Mizuki to trust him as he teleported away from the scene.

All the while the Waterfall jonin was doing whatever he could to try and break down the mud wall to little avail as no matter what the draconic construct tried, it failed to breach the earthen defenses of Mizuki who kept it going in stalwart concentration. Yet it was while said Jonin was concentrating on the water jutsu did Naruto teleport above the Takigakure Jonin with his right leg set ablaze in brilliant orange and golden flames, whilst he descended downwards towards his target like a fiery meteor.

Naruto used every ounce of strength he had at his disposal to quickly bring his Blaze Kick down on the poisoned Jonin in the form of a vicious axe kick that crashed down with great force…the combination of him concentrating on Mizuki and the sludge that was ravaging their body causing them to not realize until the last minute Naruto descending upon them…A loud CRUNCH was heard as Naruto's fiery leg erupted into a miniature inferno that not only imploded the jonin's skull on contact, but crushed through and snapped vertebrae, and going through 1..2..3…4 of the jonin's ribs and nearly snapping the 6th and 7th one like a twig, as he was lit ablaze, and the world around him exploded into brilliant flame and the ground beneath them collapsing into a pit of searing white-hot flame and fire.

The enhanced blonde watched as the damage was done as said jonin's body slumped to the ground; whilst their torso continued to split down the middle, and burn away into what would become an burning crisp...all before having to quickly leap up and away from the nearly 35-foot deep crater he'd created from his Blaze Kick that spanned outwards as a gaping maw of flame.

"Soooo, how'd I do?" Naruto asked

"I say that you did pretty great all things considered. Especially since you literally kicked a man in half." Mizuki said whilst Naruto shook the brilliant orangish golden flames off his leg

"Thanks, I've been practicing and training with Sasuke, Sakura and everybody...I'm real glad it all paid off." Naruto told Mizuki

"I see. Now then, would you explain how you were able to do all of this? Because, I'm pretty sure you being able to spit out toxic sludge, wield fire and lightning and whatever else the hell that was. Was things you could do." Mizuki said still in shock and surprise of Naruto's powers

"Alright, because you're my favorite sensei, I'll tell ya. But you gotta promise not to tell anyone, especially my parents about this." Naruto told Mizuki amidst the carnage around them

"With how many times I go to back for one of my favorite students. On top of helping you get out of your parents house. I'm pretty sure you your secret is safe with me." Mizuki told the blonde in question

"Ok then…now um. Let's find a less fucked up place to sit down and talk. Because this is gonna take awhile to explain." Naruto said back

"You can tell me on the way back to camp. We have time, and I'm pretty sure nothing you tell me won't blow my mind." Mizuki said as Naruto finally put out the flames

"If you say so, just don't go around thinking' I'm batshit crazy." Naruto replied before leaving alongside Mizuki and telling him of how he got his powers


(The next day, July 5th, 996 S.E, 2:12 Pm, Uchiha Compound)

It was the next day as Naruto was hanging out with Sasuke and filling him in on the events of what happened on his first outing in live combat with Mizuki.

"And that's basically what happened, Sasuke. I gotta tell you, it was fucking awesome using my shit out there… I mean seriously, man, I can't say enough on how great that all was!" Naruto said from the exhilaration over going out on his 1st real fight outside the village

"That is wonderful to hear; that you were able to do all of those things; in tandem with Mizuki-sensei. However, there is still the elephant in the room concerning you having not only showed your abilities with him; but told him of how your powers happened." Sasuke said back in regards to what had happened the day prior

"Look, I'll be the first to admit that I get carried away with stuff. Since as we've stated, and I'll admit…I am a full-blown chaos gremlin. However, having him know about my powers isn't all that bad." Naruto replied in full admission of his living for chaos and the rush that came with it

"Explain." Were the stern yet almost acidic response from Sasuke

"For one he's one of the few people I know I can actually trust with this. I mean for one he's not in Pervy Sage's and the twins's pocket like Iruka-sensei is. He actually goes to bat for me enough that he actually helped me sneak my stuff out of my folks's house. And to top it off is one of the people I won't actually use my powers to pull shenanigans on…If all that doesn't put together on why I trust him with this. Then I don't know what does, Sasuke." Naruto said back in his reasoning for trusting Mizuki

"Plus other than Granny, Grandpa Dan, and Kazushi. Who else would I trust to tell about my powers, besides you and Sakura?" Naruto asked the stony-faced Uchiha

"Fair enough. Still, I want you to be more careful in who you reveal your powers to. Especiall,y with the fact that your powers have gotten stronger since you absorbed that plate." Sasuke pointed out to the blonde

"Well, my powers getting a boost isn't the only thing that's happened" Naruto told Sasuke

"What else has happened?" Sasuke questioned

'I can do this now, pretty cool huh?' Naruto said from within Sasuke's mind

"D-Did you just talk to me inside of my head?" Sasuke questioned once more

'Yep. Turns out that I can talk to people in their heads now. Along with some other stuff that started popping up lately.' Naruto answered back through the newfound mental link he had with Sasuke

"This is an incredible development…When did this start happening?" Sasuke questioned

'About a little over a week after I absorbed the Meadow Plate. I thought I was imagining things when I started hearing random people's thoughts, but after a fat minute…Realized I could talk to people in their heads.' Naruto said through their newfound telepathic link

"That is rather interesting, and if anything will definitely make more 'secretive' matter more private. Not to mention it will be rather useful for coming up with tactics to use in missions." Sasuke replied in knowing the link would be an invaluable asset to come

'Plus since this doesn't use up chakra or even all that much energy. I can use this for as long as I want.' Naruto said back thankful that his newfound telepathy didn't use up much energy

"...Beyond your newfound telepathy, are there any other abilities that have cropped up?" Sasuke questioned the enhanced blonde

"Not really?..Then again I haven't really gone out of my way to find out. So who knows what else I've got in my toolbelt?" Naruto replied with a shrug of his shoulders

"Plus with all the moves and stuff I've already got on my plate, I'm not in any rush to start going for more stuff." Naruto added

So as far as Naruto was concerned, it was a matter of mastering and keeping up with the current skillset he had now, and then focusing on the secondary abilities that he was gaining from the plates.

"That is a fair point to bring up, considering that barely 4 months have passed and you've already amassed more power than what most in our class could have…In fact, I'd imagine that your brother and sister would be envious of your powers if you decided to go all out." Sasuke remarked over how much raw power Naruto had at his disposal

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves, Sasuke. I mean what I did with Mizuki-sensei may have shown me that I can do some pretty cool shit so far…Plus on top of what Sakura, myself, and you can do on a daily when we train together in the Forest. That I know I'm hot shit. But I don't think that I'm ready to do a clean sweep against them just yet…Since they've got years of experience with their aces in the hole, and I'm just doing a lot of catch-up to do; just to get halfway-good with my shit." Naruto replied knowing he still had quite a while before he could pull off something dominating against both his siblings

"But you have a distinct advantage with your powers, where they do not." Sasuke noted

"What kind of advantage is that?" Naruto questioned

"That yours and their powers are on completely different magnitudes of order. While their power comes from a beast that manipulates them and gives them scraps of its power that is already divided. You already wield power from a God that from my estimation allows you to do what they can, but on an even larger scale." Sasuke answered back

"Further than that, but the way I see it your advantages go even further than that. After all, they may hold the power of a neutered-tailed beast. However, you have the power of a deity on your hands. All you have do is literally go out and search for it…Which if you ask me, sounds far more incredible than having a demon fox sealed in your gut." Sasuke added

"Look I know I got the power of a god in me. But from what it sounds like, your actually thinking that I can become a real deal demigod." Naruto spoke in not missing the implications hidden behind Sasuke's words

"Am I wrong? After all, you more than anyone know what you are capable of. So would it be that far out of the scope of possibility for you to become one?" Sasuke replied

"I guess, but a whole-ass demigod? Even I know that's pushing it a bit…I mean I know I'm good, but I'm not that good." Naruto said back

"You are missing a keyword, there, Naruto…That being that you aren't that good yet. It has been 4 months, and you've barely scratched the surface of what you can do. So I say that together; you, Sakura and I keep training and growing stronger together. Then before you know it, you'll have your powers mastered on a scale that would make even the Sage of 6 Paths himself green with envy." Sasuke told the enhanced blonde who couldn't help but let an excited grin cross his face at the idea

"Ok, now that sounds super dope!...Oh man, if and when I get to even a fraction of that power. I'm so gonna rub it in Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumbass's faces." Naruto spoke as his grin widened at the thought of being close such power

"And at the rate you are going, I'm sure you'll get there in no time at all…Until then we have much more training to do." Sasuke replied

'Say less, man. I'll wait for you to grab your gear, and then we can teleport over to the Forest.' Naruto telepathically spoke to the Uchiha

"...That's going to take some time to get used to." Sasuke said back, still feeling weird at having someone talk in his head

"Sorry 'bout that. Still getting used to it myself." Naruto spoke in still feeling odd about having telepathy

"Its fine, just give me 5 minutes and I'll be ready." Sasuke told Naruto as he rushed toward his bedroom

'I wonder what other stuff I've got in my toolkit then?' Naruto wondered to himself while Sasuke geared up for their excursion


(3 days later, Haruno Household, July 8th, 996 S.E, 11:43 Am)

It was a few days later as Naruto and Sakura were taking a small break from their sparring session, with both in good spirits at the fact that due to Naruto's power boost from the Meadow Plate; Sakura could ratchet things up in their sparring matches.

"Good shit, Naruto. You definitely got one helluva punch to ya." Sakura said to the superhuman blonde

"Thanks, but then again with my getting all roided out from that golem fight. I'm feeling pretty good about everything. I mean for fucks sake, I got you to go up to 29% of your Removal." Naruto replied in good cheer of pushing Sakura to over a 3rd of her full Removal capacity

"I know right! Since holy shit, you're getting pretty good with the hands. I mean this seriously, Naruto, but I'm pretty sure that by the time we graduate your gonna be a close-quarters killing machine." Sakura said in regards to Naruto's quick combative progression

"Well, when I've got someone as a menace for a training partner. It tends to help." Naruto said back getting a small grin from said pink-haired menace

"Hey, between someone who's got superpowers, and myself whose training to be a professional hitwoman/assassin for hire. Of course, we're going to be stronger than just about everybody…I mean have you seen the majority of our class Naruto?...Other than your siblings, Choji and Sasuke; everyone else are just a bunch of ants." Sakura responded with a broad yet pugnacious grin on her face

"You aren't wrong about that, Sakura. Since other than them; just about everyone in our class is getting ran right over." Naruto said in agreement

"I know right! Since with Ino, I'd punch a hole right through her uppity dumbass. All Hinata would see with her Byakugan are nothing but fists and elbows to her fucking face; before she can use her Gentle Fists." Sakura spoke with a malicious grin on her face

"I know for a fact that you would fold Hinata in half, that ain't even contest. I mean at least if you beat the shit out of Ino it'd be quick, but concerning Hinata on the other hand…There wouldn't be anything gentle about what you'd do to her." Naruto replied knowing full well that Sakura would probably eviscerate the Hyuga heiress in minutes

"You aren't wrong, Naruto. Ino is someone who really doesn't bother me that much…Since let's be real, without her being a clan heir; the only other thing she's probably good for is getting her back blown out…not shit else." Sakura said in regards to the Yamanaka heiress

"Meanwhile, Hinata on the otherhand...Ooohhh, I've got something special in mind for her, if I ever get my hands on her." Sakura told Naruto with a malevolent, pugnacious grin spreading further on her face that gave Naruto chills

'I swear it isn't gonna be enemy shinobi, bandits, or rogue ninja who are gonna kill everyone. Its probably gonna be the one person who pissed off Sakura.' Naruto said to himself knowing full well that his 'sister' was a full-blown smoke demon

"But other than me wanting to obliterate Hinata, is there anyone in the class you wanna run the ones' with?...I mean other than Toshiro and Mizore?" Sakura questioned

"Not really. I mean other than Shikamaru, who I can't stand for being a lazy bum. Not really, I mean Kiba hasn't done anything to really make me mad, and neither has Shino. So I don't really see anyone else other than Shikamaru who I'd wanna fuck with." Naruto answered back

Since to Naruto, the Nara in question was one of the worst offenders in their class for the simple fact that he wasted all of that intelligence and cunning by sleeping around all day and not putting his natural gifts to good use in furthering his clan techniques, and learning skills to compliment them. As with the appreciation that came from his abilities gifted to him by Arceus, was also a disgust for those that squandered the use of their own and did nothing to improve upon them; hence why he couldn't help but despise the slothful Nara.

"I feel kind of the same way about him. Since don't get me wrong he's a pretty chill guy, and smarter than anyone else in the academy…Other than that, he really ain't shit." Sakura said

"But other than running fades and shit like that, there's one other question I do gotta ask you." Sakura then asked

"Sure, what do you wanna ask me about?" Naruto questioned

"Well, when your folks and your dickhead siblings find out about your powers; what are you gonna do? Because sooner or later, they're gonna find out." Sakura questioned the enhanced blonde

"If that happens then it happens. There's not much to do, than shoot it straight that I have superpowers and can do a lot of cool shit was. Cool shit that's a lot better than what some overgrown mutt can do. If they have a problem with it, then they can fucking bring it." Naruto answered back

"Since I'm not gonna run from it if they want problems; with what I can do. Just because my powers are greater than what the twin idiots have with the 9 tails. Or because they think it's super dangerous, or some b.s like that." Naruto said seeing no reason to run from or hide should the day come when they discover of his powers

"Well, if they ever do have a pissy fit over it. You know you got me, and my cousins standing right behind you." Sakura told the enhanced blonde

"I know, and I'm happy to have all of you guys, the Uchiha's and everyone else in my corner." Naruto replied glad for the support system he'd managed to develop over the years

"And speaking of my cousins, I got good news…I'm gonna be going on my first assassaination." Sakura excitedly told Naruto

"Really? Who're you gonna go after?" Naruto questioned

"Some idiot named Aoi that managed to steal the 2nd Hokage's sword." Sakura informed Naruto as to who her target was

"Wait a minute, someone actually pulled that shit off?" Naruto asked once more

"Yup, and your girl is gonna kill the sack of shit who took it." Sakura answered back in murderous joy of her first assassination

"Well, congrats, Sakura. I'm happy for you…But do you know when your gonna head out to do it?" Naruto questioned

"Next Friday. Apparently, I'm gonna be intercepting him and his genin squad who are supposed to be returning from their 1st mission. So that should be fun." Sakura told Naruto of when it was and what her opposition was gonna be

"Huh, well there's not much else I can say except good luck. And also, beat his ass to a pulp for me wil ya?" Naruto said to the soon-to-be assassin

"Thanks, Naruto, and I definite will…Now then, how about we go for round 2. I'm feeling' lucky today." Sakura replied with a vicious grin that was matched by Naruto
"Say less, Sakura. Let's do it!" Naruto said back as he jumped up into a fighting stance

'Finally, I get to go on my first assassination…Your girl is finally coming up in the world.' Sakura said to herself as she got into a stance of her own

'So are we gonna start already? I mean don't get me wrong; I'm happy for you and all, but I'm ready to get your ass already.' Naruto telepathically spoke to Sakura

'In your dreams, Naruto. Your talking to the worlds' strongest assassin right here, so bring it!" Sakura mentally replied back as she and Naruto rushed each other in what would be a ferocious exchange of blows against the other


(2 days later, Konoha, July 10th, 996 S.E, 2:40 Pm)

It was the following Sunday as Naruto was currently hanging out with his cousin Kazushi, the two getting back from the movies with the latter; not to plussed over said horror movie in question.

"I don't get how you like those horror movies, Naruto. They aren't even that good." Kazushi said to her shorter cousin

"Oh come off it, Kazushi. It was a good movie, its not my fault you can't appreciate a good slasher flick." Naruto replied

"Well, when they actually make a good one where its not the same dumbass kids getting caught fucking; by some guy in a mask. Then I'll think they aren't shit. Since I'm telling you Naruto its always the same thing in those movies." Kazushi said back

"They either go into some cabin in the woods, some haunted house or some other 3rd thing. The slasher winds up killing everybody one by one, and instead of getting out of there. They decide to be total idiots and either fuck, or investigate something they have no business in and get ganked by said killer like a bitch…All before they have some final guy or girl who still ain't shit miraculously kill the roided out slasher." Kazushi added in how seemingly formulaic those movies were

"So what, you think you could make a better one? Since you seem to have everything figured out about horror movies." Naruto questioned the taller one between them

"Of course, I could, I could pull that shit off with a blindfold on…At least when I make one, shit'll make sense instead of everything being bullshit for 80% of whatever that movie was." Kazushi answered back

"I'll give you credit on that particular one being super bad. But at least it was so bad we could laugh about it." Naruto replied in having to give said slasher film credit as being so horrible its funny

"Oh no, it was still fucking hilarious. But it definitely could've done without taking itself so seriously, like it was hot shit…If it did that then it would've been ten times funnier. " Kazushi said back

"I'll give you that one too, Kazushi. I swear that it was over an hour and a half of nothing, and cheap jump scares for a not-shit horror movie...Even if it was pretty hilarious." Naruto said in agreement

"But bad horror movies aside, you said that there was something pretty big you wanted to tell me." Naruto spoke as he and Kazushi found a bench to sit at

"Oh yeah, well the good news I had for you is; that I got all my paperwork filled away. So with everything all taken care of and all that junk out of my way. I'm now cleared to be a jonin-sensei for next year." Kazushi told her cousin with the smuggest smile she could muster on her face

"Wait you actually did it?" Naruto asked in surprise

"Yup! Your looking at a real deal soon-to-be jonin sensei! Ain't it great?!" Kazushi replied with an ever-present grin that radiated "I'm the shit!" type of energy

"Holy shit…congratulations, Kazushi. That's awesome!" Naruto said to his cousin; giving the taller of the two a side-hug as they continued walking

"I know right! Which means that when you and your friends graduate, I'm gonna be your sensei." Kazushi said back

"Wait you really wanna be my sensei when I graduate?" Naruto questioned

"Of course, numbnuts! I told your simple ass that when I got certified to be a jonin sensei, that the first batch of misfits that I'm gonna train are you and your friends. Because if I'm gonna do this, then I'm gonna make sure that I get the best bunch of dumbasses I can…It just so happens that said dumbasses are my cousin and his best friends." Kazushi told the enhanced blonde with her smile widening

"Well, thanks for wanting to train me and my friends and all. Since if there's anyone that can make us awesome shinobi. Its probably the village's greatest menace, since the 1st and 3rd Hokage." Naruto said in knowing full well of Kazushi's prowess…especially with how high she was ranked in the Bingo Books

Seeing as how his cousin was one of the rare few in Konoha to not only be classified as an S-ranked threat, but someone who was in consideration to have a flee-on-sight order given the fact that she was just that immensely powerful and was next to near impossible to stop whenever she decided to eviscerate someone, or something in her wake.

"Well, as I've told you before and I'll tell you again. My friends and I can handle just about anything, so bring it!" Naruto told his cousin

"Oh trust me, Naruto. I'm gonna hold you to that, just don't bitch when I make every muscle you got start screamin'." Kazushi replied with her smile turning more predatory

"You can try, but I'm built different and then some, Kazushi. So I'm game for about anything." Naruto said back with all the confidence in the world

"That's really great that your talkin' that shit and all, so keep that up while you still can. Because come next May, your ass is mine!" Kazushi replied, as she couldn't wait to put her younger cousin through what she had in mind

"And I welcome the day that happens." Naruto said returning a confident smile at the predatory expression of his cousin

"Alright, just so you know, I'm gonna have a great time putting you through my patented boot camp…Oh man, am I gonna train you guys into being full-on menaces." Kazushi said back with an ominous chuckle

"And I'll take your word for it, in the meantime. Are we still good to do Granny's surprise party in a couple of weeks?" Naruto asked the taller blonde

"Fuck yeah we are. There's no way, I'm not gonna help out with the surprise party!" Kazushi answered back in full readiness to do so

"Great to hear, and remember; your on cake duty. I'm with grandpa on helping make sure that Granny doesn't find out about it. Auntie and Lyoto are on decoration duty…So as long as everyone does their part, we should be in good shape to make sure that everything goes according to plan." Naruto said in listing off all of what everyone was on for the elder Senju's surprise birthday

"I still can't believe mom is gonna be pushing 50 pretty soon." Kazushi said in disbelief of her mother's age

"Well, considering that she made that handy dandy jutsu of hers a permanent thing to make her a 25 year old for life. I don't doubt that she's madeit this far. Since it was gonna be a matter of if nd not when she perfected that thing, into making her young for who knows how long." Naruto replied still stupefied by how his grandma's medical prowess allowed her to perfect her Creation Rebirth to such an extent

"If I can look half as good as her, when I get older. I will be the happiest bitch in all of Konoha." Kazushi said in hopes of looking that good when she hit her later years

"I'm sure you will considering that your only other competition is Anko and Kiba's sister. So I'd say your in pretty good shape." Naruto said back

"Fair point…Anyways, what do you wanna do now?" Kazushi questioned

"Get high and then grab some ramen?" Naruto asked

"I'm way ahead of you." Kazushi answered back as she pulled a pair of blunts and a lighter from her fanny pack

"Has anyone told you your the best cousin I've ever had." Naruto replied

"I already know I am. Now come on, let's light up and grab somethin' to eat." Kazushi said as she handed Naruto his blunt and from there the two began to get blazed together

So with Naruto having gone out on his 1st outing outside the village with Mizuki, and the aftermath of it all. How will Naruto's further misadventures unfold as Mizuki is included into Nauto's small inner circle of trusted companions? Find out next time on the new installments of, Naruto: The PokeSage!


Alright, that takes care of that, as I hope you guys enjoy this chapter and everything that went along with it. On the plus side this story has been a ton of fun to write out, as it turns out that I'm finally getting back into it with Naruto stories again…neat.

Other than that 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.

Now then onto some of the reviews from the last chapter.

UnsanMusho: Yeah as I'm glad you like the route I plan to have for Naruto's going forward with his family to have it be in his hands. Since the thing is that they can try to reason with Naruto all they want, but at the end of the day. Naruto is gonna make the best decision that he sees is the most healthy for him at the end of the day, and if its cutting out his family from his life then so be it. Since its not a matter of him being angry so much as him just going at it all with just being brutally honest about how everythings' gone on in his life in concerns to his family.

Obsidian Nova Arc: Oh yeah, as Naruto's powers are getting a really big-ass increase to them. Since he is dealing with powers given to him by a cosmic entity/former god and as such it makes sense that he'd get a pretty significant power boost alongisde some new powers to match that will be cropping up across the story. Also, I'm glad you like the idea for him to eventually make super weed with his powers when he gets everything locked in on how to manipulate the world around him when he gets more of everything squared away. Well, if he does go into selling what he creates he may just have a side-hustle at the ready to be a dope-ass farmer and sell some produce since the world is pretty much his to do with as he gets stronger and stronger in what he can do with all of his powers as we dive deeper into the story.
