But before she could act, the Naruto in front of her dispersed into a smoke cloud as the real one appeared behind her before kicking her into the air. Once Amaya was airborne, Naruto then jumped after her. Once he was above her, he raised his leg and cried out "Hammer Kick!" where he delivered a powerful blow onto Amaya's stomach, sending her crashing to the ground near Mai.
Once Amaya hit the ground, Hayate appeared next to Amaya, frowning as he thought fighting two hittori would have been impossible. Remarkably, when he kneeled to her, Amaya was still conscious, although she was groaning in pain from Naruto's last move, but even still, it was obvious the girl could no longer fight. He inspected the other competitor and sighed regretfully, as he had wanted to have a chance at Yugao after he died.
"Hattori Mai and Hittori Amaya are unable to continue the fight…the winner is Uzumaki Senju Naruto," he said, as everyone saw Naruto panting from exhaustion, with cuts and burn marks on him, his outfit torn. Still, all of this just proved how fierce the fight between the demon and the heirs of the Salamander was.
On the balconies
"Yataaaa…! Naruto-kun won, I knew he would," cheered Sakura and Hinata, hugging each other, happy to see their mate win. "He won," said Kiba, shocked. " It's logical for Naruto to win, but you already knew Naruto wasn't any regular genin," said Shino. "After all, who can handle your sister when she's in her moods?" he finished with a slight smirk as he moved his glasses, a slight shiver going down Kiba's spine.
"Shut it, Shino, or I'll let you handle my sister when Naruto is here," said Kiba. Shino raised his hands in mock surrender with a smirk still on his face while Hinata said, "I don't know, maybe I should tell Hana-chan what you are saying, Kiba-kun," she said with a sweet smile as Kiba gulped and started shaking his head, begging not to. While everyone laughed at this, everyone missed Kurenai's sigh of release as she held her chest. "I'm glad you got out of this unharmed, Naruto-kun' she thought happily.
"I don't believe it! Mai and Amaya lost," thought Kandachi with utter disbelief, who was joined by the rest of his team, as Mai and Amaya were the strongest amongst them.
in the arena
Once Hayate had announced that the match was over and that Naruto had won, the young blonde let out a sigh of relief, as he was pretty sore after that fight. As he moved towards Mai to deactivate the seal he had placed on her, he suddenly heard Amaya cough harshly. When he turned to Amaya, he saw that she had spat out some blood and was struggling to breathe.
He quickly went to check them out as he kneeled; they both looked at him with suspicion. When Amaya turned and saw Naruto sitting next to her, the young Kunoichi glared at the blonde, "Come to gloat, Senju?... Cough, Cough."
"Hardly," replied Naruto, as she started to gently touch Amaya's sides. While he placed his other hand on Mai's stomach, she felt embarrassed. "W-What the hell do you think you're doing?" cried the outraged girls, with a hit of blush, which Naruto found funny. Given the outfit she was wearing, he didn't think Mai or Amaya would be so embarrassed by a boy touching her.
"I'm treating you," explained Naruto, where before, either the girl could respond. Amaya hissed in pain as Naruto touched her tender sides. "As I expected, you've got a few cracked ribs, probably caused by my last hit…Although I'm amazed that's all you got," stated Naruto before he went and took out a small pill bottle and took out some pills, and brought them to Amaya's mouth.
"What are they?" Amaya's asked. "They're painkiller pills to help numb the pain from your ribs," Naruto explained. But as soon as he said this, Amaya turned her head away stubbornly. "I refuse," she said, huffing as he looked at her, confused. "Huh, why?" he asked.
"I am a Shinobi of the Hattori Clan, where to accept help from an enemy is a sign of weakness, and I will not insult my pride by letting you help me," stated the girl stubbornly. "Well, that's about the stupidest thing I've ever heard", Naruto commented. "What?" she said. Both girls glared at him. "You heard me. Why let yourself go through all this pain over a silly thing like that?" he asked, getting tired of this.
"Tsk, you wouldn't understand," replied Mai angrily to her cousin. "Maybe not, but whether you like it or not, I'm going to treat you. Now you've got two choices: you can make things easy for yourself and do what I tell you, or you can make things hard, where I force you to take these pills," he said, his hand moving ever so.
"You wouldn't da-AHHH!" spoke Amaya before she cried out in pain when Naruto touched one of her cracked rips, where he then poured the pills into her mouth, causing her to swallow them. While Mai watched in shock, Naruto went along with his promise, and before she knew it, Naruto did the same thing for her.
"What? Why me too?" she asked, bewildered. "You think I missed it? I also broke one of two ribs, so before you felt the pain, a hit," said Naruto like it was nothing new.
"Damn you…" Growled Amaya angrily, "…if I could just move, I would-" spoke Mai as well, but was interrupted by Naruto before she could finish her threat.
"Well, you can't so deal with it…but if you behave, I'll free you from the effect of the pressure points." Said Naruto, acting like a medic. At this, Mai and Amaya just grunted and allowed Naruto to finish treating her.
For the next few minutes, Naruto continued to treat Amaya's and Mai's injuries, where he soon took out and opened a small jar of cream and explained to them that it was healing cream that would help reduce the swelling that would come later.
When Naruto added the cream, the girls hissed in pain, as the cream was cold and their sides were very tender. Soon after, though, the pain lessened as Naruto continued to gently rub the medical cream on both their sides.
As Naruto continued to do this, the girls couldn't help but notice, as Naruto rubbed the cream on her sides, that he had very gentle hands, but they could feel how calloused they were. The thought, of course, made the girl blush slightly, which thankfully Naruto didn't notice, and if he did, he didn't comment on it.
Soon after, though, Amaya decided to ask Naruto a question, "Why are you even helping us? We are your enemy." Mai finished the question. "The match is over, so we aren't enemies anymore," stated Naruto. "But we tried to kill you!" Mai said, "You weren't the first ones to try to kill me, and you won't be the last," said Naruto casually, like talking bout the weather.
"Plus, you two are beautiful kunoichi who wouldn't use this opportunity to talk to them, plus" said Naruto with a smirk, "I love strong women," he said in a whisper like Temari, but it was different for them. At hearing this, Mai and Amaya just shook their heads in slight disbelief, "Tsk, you're a weird guy, Senju Naruto."
Naruto just smirked at this and said, "You have to be a bit to be a shinobi."
After a few minutes, though, Naruto finished spreading the cream on Amaya's and Mai's sides and took out some bandages and slowly wrapped them around their waists. Once the bandages were tightly wrapped around their waists. Naruto took out another small pill bottle from his pouch and took out a large, round pill the size of a gumdrop.
"What's that?" said Mai, "Medical pill made with my blood, which has a special healing aspect. It's still in the development phase. It should heal you just enough so that you can move around without trouble, but later you should go to a medic to be fully treated," explained Naruto. "And if I were to refuse that pill?" asked Mai.
"Well…you know what happened last time," answered Naruto with a smirk, which annoyed Amaya, but both agreed and opened their mouths and took the pill. Within a minute or two after taking the pill, it took effect, where Amaya could feel the Chakra surge throughout her body and could see her injuries starting to slowly heal. Mai looked surprised while she also felt the same as her cousin, slowly healing the injuries, and a sudden warmth entered their chakra systems.
Once the pill did its job, Naruto then tapped the pressure points in Mai's arm joints to allow her to move her arms again. He then hit another pressure point just above her breast to allow her to move the rest of her body."I can move again!" declared Mai, as she moved her arms about, although her body was still sore and ached a little, she was a lot better than she was before. While doing the same with Amaya, who looks equally surprised.
"Told you I would, but don't move too much, as you're not a hundred percent yet and won't be for a while," said Naruto, where Mai just nodded. "Now, whenever you are fully healed and want to have a friendly spar, come find me," said Naruto with a grin before he knew it.
Mai made the first move, grabbing his shirt and pulling him down to her, and kissed him. Now this wasn't your ordinary everyday kiss on the cheek or a quick and simple kiss on the lips. This was an open-your-mouth-so-our-tongues-can-play kind of a kiss. But before Naruto could process what just happened, Amaya grabbed him, "Oh no, you can't hug him forever, now it's my turn," were her words before she also kissed him, almost matching her cousins, while Naruto was caught up in the kiss.
On the Balcony
Naruto wasn't the only one who was caught off guard by Mai's and Amaya's kiss, as everyone else who had been watching the fight was caught completely off guard, and their reactions varied from one another. Upon seeing this, both Kiba and Kankuro were launched into the air by massive nosebleeds, where they once again crashed into the walls behind them.
Many of the boys and girls like Lee, Karui, Choji, Hinata, Sakura, and Omoi turned bright red at the sight. Seeing Mai kissing Naruto, followed by Amaya, Kakashi felt a surge of pride and the urge to yell out, "Nice going, I've taught you well!" and "That's my boy!" But he refrained, as he felt the ki from Anko and Yugao, while secretly taking note for Jiraiya for his next book.
While Anko and Yugao, on the other side, were pissed, they knew they would have to share Naruto and didn't mind it, but this was different. "Can I please kill her? I'll make it as painful as I can," said Esdeath beside Yugao, who was the most level-headed, having thought about it before shaking her head, too many problems now that she isn't in the exam. She muttered.
Anko, on the other hand, was grinning evilly. She was formulating something and was stopped by Yugao and Kakashi, which made her pout, muttering something. But what nobody noticed was how Kurenai suddenly felt irked. A dark aura formed around her, and an evil-looking glint appeared in her eyes, but then disappeared, making sure nobody felt it.
"This is going to be troublesome," muttered Shikamaru, having noticed all the reactions from the girls; even Temari seemed to get angry, making Shikamaru mutter, thankfully, he didn't have to deal with it, it was too much of a drag for him.
Eventually, Amaya released Naruto from her lip lock, although Mai still held onto his shirt. When they let him go, Naruto was dazed, looking at them, trying to make sense of things. "Marry me, Naruto-kun," spoke Mai suddenly, which immediately woke Naruto from his daze.
"M-M-Marry you!" repeated a shocked and wide-eyed Naruto. "No, he'll marry me first," suddenly spoke Amaya. "He'll marry both of us," said Mai."Yes, you are the only person other than my Grandfather to have defeated us in battle," said Amaya. "Together, we would be unstoppable. You're the only one worthy of being our husband and bearing children with", spoke Mai.
"C-C-Children!" repeated Naruto, where his eyes widened even further.
"Yes, as when our two bloodlines combine, and with us as their parents, our children would be unstoppable. So how about in Naruto-kun?" Both Mai and Amaya asked in unison seductively, with a predatory look in their eyes, which made Naruto very nervous.
"Oh no, you don't," Anko said, who had broken free from Kakashi's and the others' grip, jumped down to the arena, grabbed the back of Naruto's collar, and pulled him away from Mai. "Who are you to stop us?" Asked, Mai was annoyed by the interruption. Amaya also looks annoyed but respectful. "I'm his fiancée, and we both have to agree if someone can even date him," said Anko, looking pissed someone had tried to force Naruto into an arranged marriage, something she hated mostly because of the civilians trying to use it to kill her.
"So what if you're his fiancée? He's in the CRA and can marry multiple people, right?" said Amaya calmly. "You are wrong about that *Sigh* While I am in the CRA. I also added a stipulation for who I can marry," said Naruto. "And one is no arranged marriage, so we both have to like each other before we do anything," he said, shocking many who heard him.
"Either way, you are our fiancée as well," said Mai, making everyone look at her. "What gave you that impression?" asked Naruto. "Clan tradition and law," said Amaya. "What do you mean?" asked Naruto, holding Anko from attacking them as he looked at them.
"There is a long-standing tradition among the Kunoichi of our Clan. Since we hold the responsibility of bearing the next generations of our Clan, we are obligated to make sure that those children are strong, so that our Clan remains strong. Because of this, the women of our Clan are trained to be as strong as the men are, so that we can fight against any enemies alongside them, as well as bear many strong children," said Mai with a smile as Amaya took over.
"It's also because of this tradition that the women of our Clan only accept strong men to be our husbands and fathers of our children. Hence, if a Kunoichi of my Clan is defeated by a much stronger male Shinobi and if said Kunoichi finds him acceptable, then he must marry her, but Naruto-kun here defeated the two of us, something that no one has done, meaning he's special. The fact that he is the last of multiple clans and he's handsome, meeting both requirements," said Amaya, shocking Anko, who looked at Naruto, but he kissed her. "Now, now, Anko, remember to behave. I'll reward you later," said Naruto as Anko grumbled.
"I've heard the Hittori clan has that tradition," said Kakashi, remembering when he was on a mission with two jonins, and one defeated a Hittori member before she changed moods and asked to marry him. He could still remember how the guy ran the girl behind him.
"Either way, we could hash out any of the things later, giving enough time, I'm sure our relationship will improve," said Mai, looking at Naruto. "I'll be seeing you soon...Naruto-kun," said Mai and Amaya while they noticed the proctor sigh. "We'll be remaining here and try to improve our relationship with him," said Amaya, already planning something. "Grandfather will approve of this," said Mai.
"Now all the genin who managed to pass go down to the arena," said the jonin, making the genin who managed to pass head towards the arena. Meanwhile, Gaara turned his gaze to where Naruto was, who only narrowed his eyes for a moment, looking in the same direction as the redhead from Suna, quickly turned his gaze forward, and began to go down the stairs.
In the Arena
The Third Hokage stood in front of all the genins who had made it through the preliminaries, who were accompanied by their respective jonin sensei.
He quickly focused his gaze on the remaining participants. "First of all, I would like to congratulate all of you for making it this far," Sarutobi said, looking at each contestant.
"Now, in a month, the final stage of the exams will be held, which will be held at the official Konoha stadium," Sarutobi said as he watched some of them seem to gain a grimace of confusion, due to the long period they were being given.
"This time is given to you so you can create new techniques and strengthen the ones you already have, so that when you face your opponents when the month is over," said the third as a box appeared in front of him with a seal.
"The fights will be random, everyone will take a paper from this box, they will be called to take their turn and show the number they got," said Sarutobi while the genins, one by one, began to be called and took the papers.
The matches that would be held at Konoha Stadium within a month were soon listed.
The matches were:
Neji vs. Naruto
Sasuke vs. Gaara
Omoi vs Shikamaru
Temari vs. Karui
Kurotsuchi vs. Hinata
Shino vs Kankuro
Samui vs the Winner of the first fight
Neji had a contemplative look and then looked at the Uzumaki ' It seems that fate is smiling on me ' Neji thought before exchanging glances with Naruto, who looked at him for a few seconds and then looked back at the front.
"Try to give your best, since not only the Kages of your villages will be present, but also people of great political weight and clients for your village, so give your best and good luck," said Sarutobi as he finished his speech and began to leave. With that said, all the teams began to leave the arena to prepare for the final phase of the exams.
With Mai and Amaya
Mai and Amaya are walking up to their team in a hallway to their rooms when they see the rest of their team. "Care to explain yourself, Mai, Amaya?" asked the team leader and sensei Kandachi. "Naruto-kun was much stronger than we anticipated," Mai answered simply.
"Naruto-kun?" repeated the last teammate of their team. "Is there a problem with that?" asked Amaya, as she turned to her teammate and frowned."Your orders were to kill Senju, not to make out with him and then propose to him," said the Ame Genin. "Agreed, your Grandfather will not be pleased when he hears the two of you were defeated by one person," stated Kandachi.
"You saw how skilled Naruto-kun was," stated Mai first. "Which makes your defeat and your actions after the fight all the more serious," responded Kandachi."Our Grandfather will understand our point of view; he knows our Clan laws better than anyone, and he cannot deny that Naruto-kun and two of his grandaughters would be a fitting match," said Amaya.
"Let's not forget that he didn't use his bloodline; he stuck to elemental jutsu, taijutsu, and Kenjutsu. Even when we spied on him, he always seemed to know if we were there. He guards it so well, it must be rare or strong, which is only a plus to our Clan," said Mai as if it were the most casual thing.
"If you ask me, you're just trying to cover yourself from being disgraced," stated their last teammate. "What did you just say?" asked Mai as she turned to their teammate and narrowed her eyes threateningly.
"You heard me", sneered the Ame Genin. "You two dropped the ball and failed your mission, and now you're trying to cover up your mistake by jumping Senju bones. You two aren't as strong as you think you are. Maybe you two should just step aside and leave this mission to someone competent who can do the job?"
But as soon as the Ame Genin said this and before he could do anything, he suddenly found a Kunai pointed at his balls, a massive sword pointed at his neck, and facing a very angry Mai and Amaya. "I suggest that you watch your mouth…even on my worst day, I could kill trash like you with a simple flick of my wrist," said both kunoichi in unison, their eyes threateningly narrowed.
"That's enough, both of you!" Kandachi rounded and glared at both Genin, "We'll talk about this again later."
Mai and Amaya scoffed at this and then removed the Kunai from the Ame Genin's balls and the sword from his neck, who started to rub his neck and look at the Kunocihi nervously, as they glared coldly at him before turning away.
Seeing this, Kandachi glared at the foolish Genin, as he knew how strong Mai and Amaya were, especially when they worked together, and they certainly didn't drop the ball. Naruto proved to be much more skilled than they expected him to be, which, of course, made things all the worse. If he were this skilled already, there was no doubt that he would become a formidable foe in the future. "This could complicate matters," thought Kandachi.
With Naruto
You could see the sky starting to darken as the Leaf businesses started to light up, while you could see Naruto walking back to the Uzumaki compound, holding large bags in his hands. 'Kurama, can I ask you something?' thought Naruto, looking at the fox on his side. ' What is it, Kit?' said Kurama, opening his eyes. 'How was your relationship with my mother?' he asked.
'Sigh, sooner or later you'd have to ask," said Kurama. 'Like you already know, most of what they say about us, Bijus, is false.The thing is, some things are true, at least the part about us hating humans, or at least in my case, I did at first, ' the Biju confessed. This increased Naruto's curiosity. ' When you spend your time being harassed by several humans, you usually gain some resentment against the harassers who chase you,' the fox said.
' But in the end, only one of them managed to obtain it,' said the fox. Naruto didn't have to guess who that guy was since the fight between Hashirama and Madara was very well known, and that was something he knew his lover didn't like to be reminded of. ' After Miito Uzumaki managed to seal me inside her and after Madara died, I was so angry at that Uchiha jerk,' Kurama said with venom in his voice, but continued.
' For having used me as his pet, I tried to get out of the seal by all possible means to try to vent some of my anger by destroying some forests or the occasional town that was on the way. ' Naruto rolled his eyes at his partner's statement. ' Time passed, and I was bored while trying to get used to my new situation. Suddenly, my first jailer appeared in front of me,' said Kurama, remembering that day.
Flashback
Kurama looked on with a mixture of anger and disgust at Mito, who was in front of him, chained by each limb. " What do you want, you miserable human? " Kurama said, looking at the Uzumaki with disinterest.
Miito simply stared at the Biju, who began to exasperate the fox with every moment the woman spent without saying anything and just looking at him. "WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU KEEPING WATCHING ME!!! " Kurama roared, causing the whole place to shake, but Mito remained motionless in her place.
"I gave up *sigh* I'll have to ask," said the redhead with a little reluctance, taking the Kitsune by surprise, who simply looked at the redheaded woman with surprise and disbelief. "How tall are you?" asked Mito, making the Biju make a face of disbelief again.
"Huh?? " were the only words that came out of the fox's mouth. "How tall are you?" Miito asked again, confusing the Biju even more. "According to what people say, you are almost as big as a mountain, and another describes you as being hundreds of houses tall. I wanted to see if being sealed inside me would affect your height in any way, although it doesn't seem to affect it much," the Uzumaki said simply.
"Even though we are in my mind those descriptions could become relative, so I tried to figure out for myself how many averages, but it seems I'm coming up blank, that's why I asked you," said Mito while having a thoughtful pose, while continuing to look at the Kyubi.
Which still didn't seem to believe what its container was asking it.
" Is this some kind of bad joke ?" Kurama asked as Mito shook his head, causing a vein to pop out on Kitsune's forehead. " That is none of your concern, Ningen (Human), " Kurama roared.
Mito just stared while blinking a little and returning to a thoughtful look. "So you need to eat?" Mito asked, confusing the Biju even more. "Being so big, would you need a source of energy to be able to move, or do you perhaps use chakra to feed yourself?" Miito asked.
" I can, but I don't need to, " Kurama replied unconsciously while still puzzled by the Uzumaki's attitude, who was nodding at the fox's words.
"You are susceptible to Genjutsus. You can control other foxes. If you lost one of your tails, would they grow back or not? Do you need to sleep at all?" said Mito, continuing to ask all kinds of questions to the Biju, who was slowly starting to get annoyed by the constant bombardment of questions.
"AAAHAHHA SHUT UP ALREADY!!! " Kurama roared again as his eyes glowed red with power and looked at Mito, who looked back at him."I'M NOT A DAMN BOX YOU LEAVE YOUR QUESTIONS IN FOR ME TO ANSWER!!!" Kurama hit the cage with several of his tails as he stood up to his full height to take a more intimidating position, while his tails began to move dangerously. " I AM KUYBI NO YOKO KING OF THE BUJIS AND YOUR MISERABLE HUMAN HAS MANAGED TO FILL MY PATIENCE SO- "
"So you are a male," said Mito. "I'm whatever I want to be," Kurama said, not knowing that he was surprised he said this. Mito's figure began to fade away. "Well, it seems I have to go back. Thanks for sharing the information with me, and don't worry, this conversation will stay between us," Mito said as she turned around and began to walk away, while Biju sighed mentally.
"By the way," Kurama looked at the Uzumaki who had turned around to look at him, "Do you have a name?" Mito asked, earning a growl from the fox. "Well, I'll find out later," Mito said, fading away completely. Kurama stared at the place where the Uzumaki had been, then settled back in her cell and let out a sigh.' What a strange Ningen ' thought Kasumi as she began to sleep
End of Flashback
' After that day, she would come back and ask me more questions. Over time, I started to enjoy her company. It's not like I had a choice in who I would talk to. Mito saw me as a wise creature because of the time and knowledge I have acquired in this world, Kurama said with a sigh. "Over time, she started to crack my hate against humans while I was teaching her some arts I learned through my travels," said Kurama
' After Mito passed away, I met Kushina, who had been advised by Mito to interact with me.' Naruto noticed the nostalgia in his companion's words. Little by little, I ended up seeing her as an inexperienced and stupid girl. She allowed me a certain freedom by letting me temporarily control her body, allowing me to interact a little with the world.
' Then what happens next, as they say, is history. ' Kurama said. The pair continued walking through the streets until Naruto narrowed his eyes while Kurama returned to the seal, detouring down an alley. Naruto soon reached the center of it, while sealing the bags in one of his seals.
"You know if you wanted something, you just had to ask," Naruto said as he looked back to see 5 figures land a few meters away from him. The Hanyou looked as if four men who were wearing shinobi uniforms were standing in front of him, while the last figure was hiding behind a black hooded robe, although he could easily recognize who the hooded man or woman served.
"I see that old mummy and those of the Kurama clan don't know when to leave things alone," Naruto said, looking at the group with disinterest, while one of the Kurama clan, who had brown hair, stepped forward. "Naruto Uzumaki, by orders of the head of the Kurama clan, we order you to hand over Yakumo Kurama to us to return her to the clan to be properly handled," said the subject while Naruto seemed indifferent to his words.
"Given your lack of cooperation, we will have-" Shinobi of the Kurama clan were able to finish as they felt a sword pierce one of their lungs, and then, everyone was surprised to see how Danzo's henchman held the sword that pierced the Kurama's lung.
One of the members of said clan, who was bald, tried to cut the Root Ninja to avenge his friend, but before he could take a couple of steps, the member of the Kurama clan fell to the ground while beginning to release some foam from his mouth.
Naruto saw how the same thing happened to the other two members of the Kurama clan until they fell to the ground. The Root ninja quickly retracted the sword from the brown-haired corpse, then sheathed it in its sheath. "Naruto Uzumaki, I have a message from Danzo-sama to you," said the root member in a feminine voice. Saying those words, Naruto narrowed his eyes.
"What do you want now?" said the Hanyou to see how the Kunoichi took out a small scroll and handed it to him. "Just so you know, I haven't forgotten you," Said Naruto as the Kunoichi stepped back a bit stiffly and quickly left the place. Naruto looked for a few moments at the scroll she had for him.
With a shadow clone, Naruto had the clone first check the scroll to see if there was any trap. Then, having found no trap, the clone opened the scroll and passed it to the original. The blonde opened his eyes at what was written on the scroll, his eyes wide at what it said.
Naruto Uzumaki, if you decide to cooperate with me. I can make it mutually benefitual, since I can give you what you have always longed for, I can make sure you are with your family in this life, since I can bring them back, if you decide to accept I will only need you to do one thing for me, if you wish to continue with this come to the Hokage mountain in three days at midnight.
"He's there to defy the dead. I'll show him that this is our chance to get rid of him. Accept his offer, and when the plan succeeds or fails, you will kill him," said the Shinigami, with Naruto feeling the anger in his voice. "I'll do it, but I won't like it," said Naruto.
"He dares to think he can usurp power from me, I'll show him," thought the shinigami, already putting some plans into reality. When he noticed a different timeline, war, and Sarada Uchiha lying on Naruto's arm as she died, she regretted not acting upon her feelings for Naruto. Getting a different idea. While Mai and Amaya followed, making their presence known. "Hello Naruto-kun," both said at the same time.
"Hey, girls, what are you doing here? Were you following me?' asked Naruto, a bit on edge, not so long ago they were trying to kill him and spying on him. "Not exactly, but we'd like to know you better, so I suggested to my cousin to plan out a few dates, maybe some spars?" said Mai, going to grab his arm, while Amaya, not to be outdone, did the same.
"Sure, but when?" asked Naruto, noticing they completely lacked any harm towards him. As they continued talking a bit, they agreed on some things both separately and as a group. Even though they work well as a team, they could get into each other's throats.
The next morning
Naruto was walking through the village streets, thinking about what his sensei had told him. The council had "convinced" Kakashi to focus on teaching Sasuke over the rest of the team and giving him his prized jutsu. The reason was Hanare due to how she was being processed, which could lead to her being in danger.
But what caught Naruto a bit surprised was when Kakashi let him know that he might have someone who might train him. ' Go to this place, that's where you'll surely be able to find him,' were the masked Jonin's words, while Naruto simply nodded, understanding the situation Kakashi was in.
"Seems like I wasn't the only one the council likes to screw with," thought Naruto while he was intrigued by who his sensei might be. "Why didn't you ask your mates to help you train?" asked the fox, opening an eye. "With helping get both Kin and Karin settled in. It would put more strain on everyone, plus I want to surprise them a bit. Naruto thought as he frowned at the words he had with Kin when he returned to the Uzumaki compound after the second phase and the preliminaries.
Flashback
Naruto, Yugao, Hana, Esdeath, Tsubaki, and Anko could be seen sitting in front of a Kin, who looked a little uncomfortable, while Haku, Karin, and Yakumo could be seen in the kitchen preparing something with some clones of the blonde.
"What did you want to tell us, girl?" Anko asked, receiving a somewhat distrustful look from Kin for the way she called her. Getting rid of those thoughts, Kin simply looked at the entire group.
"It's about Orochimaru." At the mention of those words, everyone fell silent, while Anko could be seen angrily clenching her fists at the mention of her former master. "He's planning to invade the leaf." The looks of surprise were not long in coming from the entire group present.
"How are you so sure?" Hana asked, still a little surprised. "Before we were chosen to come to the Chunin Exams, we were ordered that whoever was selected to go as representatives would at least make it to the last part," Kin said seriously as she took a cup of tea offered by Haku.
"Shortly after, the Otogakure forces began to have instruction in the geography of Konoha," Kin said as she looked at the teacup. "How do we know you're telling the truth?" Yugao said, looking at the girl with some distrust.
"At the moment, she hasn't shown any visible signs of lying," said Anko, who looked at Kin and then looked at the Inuzuka. "Something Hana-chan, Foxy-kun," asked the snake tamer, receiving negatives from the Uzumaki and the Inuzuka, along with her 3 canine companions of the Inuzuka.
"So far, she's been telling the truth, but something about this doesn't make sense to me," Hana said, her instincts on alert.
"Hana-chan is right, Otogakure being a village with much less capacity in terms of Shinobi compared to Konoha, and even with the help of a Sannin, it sounds like a suicide attack," Naruto said while reflecting on the words of the former Kunoichi of Oto.
"Do you know if he has the support of someone, either internal or external?" Yugao asked, watching Kin shake his head. "Sorry, but I was never informed if there was anyone else in on this," Kin said as everyone nodded. "And… what are you going to do to me?" Kin asked, somewhat uncomfortable.
"Well, I already told you in the forest of death, or do you just not remember, Kin-chan?" Naruto said with a smile, while the girl quickly remembered how the Uzumaki had rescued her, then blushed slightly as she remembered how the blonde had carried her bridal style in the field of death.
Kin left those thoughts when she felt Naruto take and wrap one of her hands with his own. Kin watched as those blue eyes looked at her with kindness and understanding, causing a slight blush when she felt the Uzumaki's hands. "I promised you that I would help you get your sisters back," Naruto said.
Kin was surprised at the Hanyou's words, almost feeling like this seemed too good to be true, but a part of her began to feel something she hadn't felt in a long time: she felt safe.
End of Flashback
Breaking from his thoughts, Naruto noticed he was close to the place Kakashi had told him he could find his new sensei. That was until his ears caught something strange sounds.
"HEHEHEHE If that's it, let's go.... Or because... they are experts... MMMM it's always better au naturel HEHEHEHEHE". Naruto listened with his enhanced hearing and began to search for the source of the voice. Seeing as it was literally next to the hot springs, he knew what was going on.
The blonde narrowed his eyes as he looked towards some treetops that protruded from what the Uzumaki suspected were the female side of the hot springs. Looking back, Naruto picked up a stone that was on the floor.
Tossing it into the air and then catching it, the blonde began to play with the stone a little to gauge its weight, then nodded and looked to the place where he could tell the voice was coming from. Closing his eyes, he held the rock tightly.
As he grabbed a kunai from his pouch, he quickly opened his eyes to concentrate on his target, and with a quick movement of his hand, he threw the stone at a good speed towards the treetops.
"OOOUCH!!, but what?" said a voice where the stone was thrown, and then quickly fell silent.
"What was that?" said a female voice.
"Someone is watching," said another voice.
"I don't know," the woman said as others began to speak.
Quickly, the Uzumaki threw the kunai with more force and speed, then heard the sound of wood breaking and something hitting the ground right on the female side of the hot springs.
"PERVERT!!!" A scream could be heard from several women, then everyone in Konoha could hear screams of pain and agony. Some men felt a phantom pain in a certain lower part.
Meanwhile, Naruto could feel how the group of women seemed to have chakra levels ranging from chunin to jonin. The next thing the blonde saw was something being thrown to the other side of the wall of the hot springs. The jinchuriki managed to see that what was lying on the ground was a person.
"Did I go too far this time?" thought Naruto while Kurama looked at him. "Nahh- maybe next time you should try the Thousand Years of death Lightning style on that pervert... If he survives," said Kurama before breaking into laughter, thinking about the different ways he could use the joke jutsu Kakashi used.
"Son of a-" the man looked ahead, the blonde saw how the white-haired man was somewhat beaten, but it didn't seem like the subject cared; the only thing he could consider as a wound was the blood stain that was in the area of the subject's nose. "You were right, he is tough," thought Naruto.
The white-haired man looked at Naruto momentarily, and for a second, he froze when he saw the genin's face, but he quickly recovered and stood up while dusting off his somewhat torn clothes. "What are you looking at, Gaki?" asked a white-haired man.
Naruto makes a sign towards his nose, causing the subject to quickly clean what he could of the blood stain. "I was just seeing if I accidentally killed someone indirectly," Naruto said matter-of-factly, causing the white-haired man to look confused and then a vein to appear on his face.
"YOU!!!" the white-haired man shouted, pointing an accusing finger at the blonde. "You were the one who ruined my research!!!" the man shouted, causing a drop to appear on Hanyou's neck.
"What kind of research is it, spying on women like a pervert?" asked the Uzumaki, making the white-haired man look offended and disgusted.
"You offend me, Gaki, I'm not a pervert…I'm a super pervert!!" said the guy as he closed his eyes and started making some ridiculous poses while placing his hand on the ground, so that a toad the size of a medium horse could appear.
"I am the one who makes women fall in droves, I am the sage of the mountain and one of the three legendary Sannin, I am…" he said while taking another pose, "Jiraiya, the Heartthrob," he said, now identified as Jiraiya, smiling and looking ahead, seeing how the blonde had disappeared.
Jiraiya's vein popped out again as he saw the Uzumaki walking away from him. "Hey!!!" said the white-haired man, attracting Naruto's attention, who looked at him with disinterest. "What's wrong with you, Gaki?" asked the Sannin, earning a confused look from the blonde.
"What are you talking about?" the jinchuriki asked, somewhat confused. "What, what's wrong, didn't you hear anything I said?" Jiraiya asked in disbelief.
"Yes, you are Jiraiya, one of the three Sannin," the Uzumaki replied, seeing how Jiraiya looked at him strangely. "You know others in your place would be more excited to have me in front of them," Jiraiya said.
"Well, the excitement goes down the drain when you see one of the three Sannin, spying on women like a simple pervert," said Naruto with a blank face. Besides that, to some extent, I am somewhat puzzled by the nickname Sannin thanks to Orochimaru's thoughts on the jinchuriki, because the pale-skinned rogue ninja's attitude gave him a terrible first impression.
And seeing the attitude of another of the three legendary shinobi, they caused a certain bewilderment in the blonde, "As I said, Gaki, I was doing research," said the white-haired man, seeing the Uzumaki's still blank face.
"You see, I am the author of a successful series of books," said the Sannin as he reached inside his trench coat and pulled out an orange-covered book. "And I need inspiration to be able to bring these babies to life," he said as he handed the book to Naruto.
"If you want to keep it, it's a courtesy book," said Jiraiya, who stopped when he saw Naruto look at it for a few moments without opening it. The blonde had a face as if he had an idea, then lowered a fist into an outstretched palm with a light blow.
Jiraiya watched as Naruto took the appearance of a boy in simple clothes who appeared to be a child version of Naruto, but he didn't have the marks on his cheeks. "EEEWWWWW WHAT IS THAT!!!" Naruto said in a childish voice, causing great confusion in the Sannin.
"But what are you doing, Gaki?" asked a confused Jiraiya upon seeing the transformation of the blonde, who seemed to be about 8 to 10 years old.
"What are you doing to him?" Jiraiya turned around to see how the same group of Kunoichis that was previously in the hot springs was behind him with a dark aura. "He's trying to corrupt an innocent child," said a woman who seemed to be the leader, while the group of women began to take out some kunai and shurikens.
Jiraiya was about to speak until he saw Naruto in his child form run towards the one who seemed to be the leader of the group, who looked strangely at the transformed Hanyou. "Nee-sama, help please," said Naruto with teary eyes. "That man gave me a strange book that was, that was," Naruto said as he held the hand of the leader of the group of women.
The leader of the group, who turned out to be a Hyuga from the main branch as she did not have a caged bird seal on her forehead, who looked like she had recently entered her 20s, the Kunoichi had black hair along with pale skin, she wore a standard jonin outfit while her ninja sash was sewn onto her clothes on her left shoulder.
The jonin wore jonin pants that fit her shapely legs, along with blue ninja sandals and the classic pearly eyes.
The Hyuga had to contain the urge to scream Kawai when she saw the face of the transformed blonde, while she bent down to the blonde's height and smiled at him while she began to wipe his tears.
"Okay, everything is going to be okay," said the Hyuga as she hugged and caressed the boy Naruto.d, Jiraiya, on the other hand, had a face of disbelief, and then a perverted smile appeared on his face, while he felt some 'inspiration' come to him.
When the Hyuga felt the little Uzumaki calm down with her hands, she made the blonde look at her while showing him a tender smile.
"Nee-sama, you are beautiful," Naruto said in an innocent tone, causing a slight blush to appear on the Hyuga's face.
The Hyuga came out of her world when she looked sideways at the Sannin and saw how he had a lascivious smile, which made her expression turn 180 degrees, to look in the direction of the Sannin.
Who saw the stoic expression and cold eyes of the group's leader, who looked at the white-haired shinobi with contempt.
"Wait, isn't this-" the Sannin tried to say something, but the looks the group of women were giving him didn't bode well.
"Kill him," were the sharp words of the Hyuga of the group, and then the entire group of Kunoichis jumped towards the Sannin with clearly hostile intentions. Jiraiya simply stood still as he watched the group rush towards him.
"I don't regret anything!!!" Jiraiya shouted so that all of Konoha could hear the screams of agony of the legendary Sannin.
A few minutes later
"Thank you very much for everything," said Naruto, bowing in front of the entire group of Kunoichis, who nodded and said goodbye to the transformed Uzumaki. The blonde looked at the Hyuga with a smile. "Thank you very much, Nee-sama," said Naruto, while the Hyuga simply smiled at him.
"Sayuri," said the Hyuga, making Naruto blink a little in confusion and then smile at the newly identified Sayuri.
"Thank you, Sayuri-chan," said Naruto as he watched the Hyuga begin to retreat. Sayuri turned around to see the Uzumaki greet her from a distance. This made her smile as they left the place.
Naruto looked to the side to see how Jiraiya was still lying in place while one of his legs had some involuntary tremors. The Hanyou simply sighed and manipulated the chakra to create a ball of water and then threw it at Jiraiya.
Upon feeling the liquid on his face, he stood up and looked with disgust at the Uzumaki, who had returned to his true form. The Sannin simply sighed.
"That was a good one, Gaki," Jiraiya said, admitting that the genin knew how to play it safe as he stood and looked at the blonde, who was standing with his arms crossed.
"And I should also thank you for inspiring me with a new story for my next book, the story of two soulmates separated by age, overcoming problems to find a way to be together, simply exquisite," said Jiraiya, making the Uzumaki sweat drop at the white-haired man's unique words.
Naruto thought for a few moments that the blows the famous leaf shinobi received had damaged his brain, but he quickly dismissed them when he remembered the reason he was in that place.
"I guess you're the one Nii-san was referring to," said the Hanyou, causing the Sannin to look at him in confusion. "Kakashi-sensei," said Naruto.
"Oh, of course he is a big fan of my books, if not the best, and if he asked me to help you train," said Jiraiya and then put on a serious face, "But of course that depends…" Those words made the blonde raise an eyebrow.
"What does it depend on?" asked the blonde while the Sannin smiled as he stared at the blonde and pointed at him with a finger.
"That depends on how capable you are," said the white-haired man. "If I see that you have some potential, I will consider training you; otherwise, I will not do it, no matter how many times you beg me to do it," said Jiraiya as he watched the Hanyou remain calm in his place.
"And what do I have to do?" the blonde asked simply.
"You seem to have a lot of confidence, he Gaki" said Jiraiya while smiling at him "That could cost you dearly, since I'm not only judging if you have talent, since that doesn't matter, I'm going to judge your ability as a shinobi" said the white-haired man, who began to walk while signaling the blonde to follow him.
"Let's go to the training grounds to see if you're worth it," said the Sannin as Naruto gained a smile on his face. Naruto sighed mentally. ' Let's see if you're like the bastard of my Father,' the Uzumaki said to himself, as he looked at the Sannin, and an idea came to him. "Lead the way, Pervy-sage," said Naruto as he moved forward and saw how Jiraiya's face appeared with a vein at the nickname the blonde gave him.
Jiraiya muttered some things about disrespectful genins who don't know how to respect him, making the Uzumaki chuckle a little.
