So without wasting any time, let's get into the video. 9 years ago, it was one sunny day in the hidden village of the leaf. Most villagers are busy with their own businesses. It was perfect as the others say, but to the one named Uzumaki, Narut, it was another part of the story. In the middle of the forest of five plus years, old blonde with a pair of cerulean eyes stood. If a stranger would see him, he would no scratch that he will pity the young blonde. His body was bruised, but for him it was okay other than the gash in his right arm. Little that he knew, his body was on the process of healing itself due to the demon inside of him. But before the process was complete, "Hey, uh, what are you doing here?" A feminine voice rang out. The young one looked at the spectator with ulterior shock in his face. He hurriedly ran through the forest, but the spectator caught his damaged arm hard enough to stop the blonde from running away yet careful enough not to cause more damage to his injured arm. Will you stop that? Look at you. You're hurt. The spectator yelled, trying to calm the boy before her. As the result, the boy did stop. He took his opportunity to glance at his spectator. The young one first saw was her eyes. They were red, almost like ruby and her wavy shoulderlength black hair. He even commented in his mind that it looked like silk because of the shine it gave whenever the sunlight passed it. He could only guess that this woman was out here to kill or hurt him. But another mental image of him said that he's safe here with her. The woman sighed and kneelled before him. He must be the vessel, she thought. She sighed once again and performed some healing jutzu and took a glance at the boy. From what she saw, the boy had an unexplainable look on his face. She cpped an eyebrow that meant, "What's wrong with you?" kind of look. He only registered to the boy after a couple of seconds. What are you doing? He said, "Uh, I'm healing your wounds." "What does it look like? What I'm doing?" The teenager said, "Why? He's really making this difficulty anyways. What do you mean why? Do your parents know? What's happening to you?" She said in a caring but deadly tone. This caught the young one off guard. "I uh do don't have any peerrints." The boy stuttered. He was trying not to cry at the mere fact that he was all alone. Well, at least he tried not to cry. She sighed once again. Now before her was a boy trying to win a losing battle. Was he really losing the battle? No, of course not. It's just the beginning. She knelt once again before the boy and hugged him trying to calm the boy from crying. It's okay. Don't cry. I know this is difficult for you. She released the boy from the hug and stood up from her height. The blonde was only at her leg level to tell you the truth. I really don't know how to cheer you up and to think that I don't even know your name. At her last statement, she smiled at the small boy with a hint of a lie. An o sa an o s a r i argato nate chan. He gave her one of his famous fox-like grin. After seeing this, she already knew that the boy was happy. At the moment, he was happy. And now he looks like a nervous shipwreck. But before he could continue, she already cut him off. Aa, that's my name. And as for my surname, it's good for you not to know who's a Makisan. Or do you prefer me to call you Naruto? Narut at the moment was dumbruck at Aika's statement. It's like as if the said woman was reading him like a book. How did you know what was I going to ask you? Nar said still odd at what had happened earlier. Aika on the other hand didn't answer his question. She just used her right index finger to point out her right temple. Nar being Nar was on his thinking position until you can read minds. He shouted. Aika just placed her hand to her face due to the humiliation. Nar had put her in. Gez, if someone saw us, I'll die courtesy of my own embarrassment. She thought as they walked outside of the forest. Naruto Kuan, why won't you go home and rest? Because she paused then grinned. Starting, "Tomorrow I will personally train you." She said, "You're the greatest." And Ichon, she really thought that he'll be happy, but she never thought he'd be this happy. Do you mind? Could you keep your voice down? Come back here tomorrow morning at 5:00 a.m. Hi. 7 years ago in a little clearing inside the forest, two people stood there, or more likely training in the middle of the forest. It is a place where the NBU doesn't look out on as a special request from Sandame's friend. on the said secluded training grounds. Shikuchi, a boy age of seven, shouted and soon numerous patterns of seem like tornadoes danced on different sides on his opponent, making the earth destroyed in the process. Meanwhile, the said opponent was smirking, definitely not with arrogance, but with pride. Pride for her student. Okay, that's enough for today. She said, "Today is your first day in the academy, right?" She asked her student who was on the process fishing through his backpack. Ha Iasensi. She smiled at the title he has been calling her for the past 2 years. Aside from jingjitsu, which was where she specialized the most, she also taught Narut ninjutsu, taitsu, and tongesta as well. I have enough time to rest before the classes start. He added, that is good. Tell me Naruto Kuwan. Did you enjoy being my student and I want an honest answer? She asked, not looking at the blonde. Nar just looked at his sensei as if she had forgotten her common sense at her house. Why are you asking me this? You're not going away, are you? Aka just sideighed. I'll tell you the truth. I'm going away for the meantime, and I promise you I'll come back. With this statement, she slid off her necklace and gave it to her student. Here, I'll come back for this. She said, I'll definitely going to keep it safe. And that's a promise, he said with great enthusiasm. You never back down to your promises, don't you, Naruto Kuan? Aika moved closely so that she could be in a level with the boy. Nar gulped. Aika was closing into his ear. I want you to promise me that you'll only use those techniques if necessary, meaning don't brag them off. Could you do that for me, Nar Kuin? She moved away and saw that he was blushing. She giddled at the thought and suddenly she shrugged it off. Okay, I can do that. Narut gave her one of his promising fox grin. Meanwhile, inside the Okag tower, "You want me to do what?" Itaki Kakashi almost shouted in front of the Hokag. It wasn't pretty normal to the Exandbu to be as surprised or even shocked like this. He didn't even see it coming. Kakashi, just think of it as returning a favor for your sensei. Sandame said, but Hokag sama, what does sensei got to do with this? Kakashi asked. Saratobi side. At least he could tell him his friend's student. What I'm about to tell you will be kept only inside these walls. Do you understand Kakashi? The old man said. Surely enough, Kakashi didn't know what was about to hit him. Of course, Hokag sama. Good. Sar Tobi replied with slight smile. Kakashi, I know you have participated with your sensei during the Koob's attack. He saw the jewel and nod and I know that you know that he sealed it in a newborn baby Nar. Yes, Hokag sama. But why does he Nar have to live with me? Let me finish Kakashi from there. Kakashi didn't interrupt the old man. You see Kakashi during that time it was impossible to find a newborn baby. So in turn, your sensei sacrificed his newborn son. The old man waited for the elite Julen to react to the information he got. Oh sama, why didn't you tell me about this earlier? None of us knew that sensei had relationship with someone and yet you're telling me that he has a son. Sarobi only did was to sai. Can you do it, Kakashi? The hokag said in a formal tone and only to meet an expected answer. Of course, Hokag sama in notsodistant future Narut wake up. Narut s classmate said Yamuno Iraqa and academy teacher ranked Shunnan was starting to count mentally. 1 2 3 that's it. He unconsciously grabbed the nearest thing he could throw the eraser. Ka saw the incoming eraser. He tried to wake his friend but Nar seemed to not to bother. KBA moved away when the eraser was about to hit his blonde friend. Nar, on the other hand, managed to catch the eraser and throw it back to the table instead. Everybody saw Nar sitting straight, yawning and still feeling groggy. Nar saw Ka with a surprise, shocked, looked down his face. "What happened to you?" Nar asked, still not noticing his other classmates and his dumbruck teacher. Uzzumaki Nar Iraqa called. Nar looked at his sensei. Please make at least three bushins. Nar. Nar stood up cursing himself for sleeping in the middle of the test. He sighed and soon he was in front of the class. Uhin no jutzu. He said soon there were at least 12 perfect bushins standing in front of the class. Damn, I overdid it again. Congratulations, you pass. He walked over to Iraqa and Nizuki who handed him his hit height. Iraqa knew that Nar would do well for the fact that he was living with his friend Kakashi aka copy ninja Kakashi. Okay, that's it for today. Tomorrow you will be teamed up to your gen and team. You're all dismissed at the Iraq's ramen stand for people were eating or chatting with each other. One of them was Itaki Kakashi. Next to him was his fellow Jonin Saratobia Suma. Next to the chain smoker was the Tokabetsu SP Jonin Midarashi Anko who was on the verge of strangling Asuma for smoking in the ramen stand. Next to the Tokabetsu Jonnin was Kenova's Jenjutsu specialist Yui Korini. I can't believe this. Can't you at least stop smoking for just 5 minutes? Dash. Anko said, "Huh? Did you say something?" Assuma said, "And now you're acting like Kakashi." Karinai only sighed at the scene. After all, she was used to see her best friend act like this almost every time. While Kakashi, on the other hand, was looking away until he saw a familiar young blonde coming to his way. Kenichua Nissant, this caught the attention of the other Jonins and Tokabetsu. Jon for Anko's case. Uh, Naruto Quinn, what will be it for today? The head chef asked, "Miso ramen, please." Naruto Quinn replied as he sat next to Kakashi. "One Miso Ramen coming up." The head chef said in an energetic tone. "I heard that you passed the Jennonine exam. Congratulations." So Tutoto Kakashi said, "Era Nissent." Naruto Quinn said with sheepish grin on his face while he scratched the back of his head. "Are you excited to know who will be your teammates and Jon and instructor?" Narutoquin? Karinai asked with a smile emphasizing Naruto s nickname. She was the only one who had called him that at least as far as he can remember. Unknown to him, he let out a small blush on both cheeks. He bent his head and scratched the back of his head once again, which the women counted as kawawaii. Kakashi knew his Otto's crush towards his fellow Jonin ever since he first saw her back when she was still a rookie Chuin. After seeing this, Anko decided to tease the young blonde. At the moment, she stood up and sat next to Narut. Everybody in the ramen stand saw her stand, including the head chef, Akira Katuchi, me. Is this his real name and his daughter I am? What were they about to see was beyond imaginable as though they thought? Naruto saw Anko stood and sat next to him. Was she whispering something to me? Not can't be. But why is she so close to me? I think she whispered something about congratulating me or something. Was she telling me to close my eyes? That must be it. There he was sitting next to the hot and sexy and still single. Oh, did I forgot to mention deadly Midarashi Anko? She was closing in and the only thing that Nar knew he was kissing the Midarashi Anko. What the heck? Karinai and I am thought pedophile kakashi and aama thought. Nar tasty anko thought with a smirk. Lucky guy bystanders you know it's very rude to stare. Nar kuanko said still with a grin. Nar was still speechless or rather he blacked out. Kakashi started to worry for his odo to who hadn't replied for a couple of seconds. Nar are you all right? Kakashi started to shake his little brother. After 5 seconds, Nar nodded. Nar changed his direction to his miso ramen and started to chow it in just 2 minutes. Everybody looked at him as if this came from the kiss, but rest assured that wasn't his first kiss. He took out his gamma chan and paid his meal miraculously. He only ate a single bowl. "Thank you for thei lime going, "No, Jane," he said without a pause. After his meal, he ran away back to his apartment. At Naruto s apartment, Narut slumped back to his bed, waiting for Mr. Slumber to pass by, "Tomorrow, I'll be in a genuine team." He said to no one in particular. The night was still dominant. From this darkness, a lone figure walked across a path. The said figure was walking, then stopped. In front of him was a woman in her early 20s as he thought. He was facing her back. From there he could see her messy shoulderlength black hair. She was wearing a purple yucata. The said figure watched the woman. She slowly turned. He saw the sight of her enticing ruby eyes. And once again, she stopped only to reveal a part of her face. Nar, on the other hand, couldn't register who the woman was. Nar he heard her say. He couldn't muster a single word from his mouth. Nar he couldn't reply. Once again, Narut again. Nar again. Nar, what's going on? Nar looked around only to find his friend Ka staring at him. Ka, what the heck are you doing? He asked. Nar, must you sleep all the time I see you? Ka asked. What is it to you anyway? Nar asked. What do you mean what is it to me? Ku notice our team is still waiting for our sensei just like them. KBA said pointing out to team seven which includes a Chia Sasuke Harino Sakura and Abberim Shino. So what team number are we again? Nar asked looking innocent as possible. He beside he had the urge to whack his friend off his senses while Hinata just giggled. The said dog user just focused himself to reply. We are teamm eight. Hinata is also in our team and do the things that I recently told you. register to your mind?" KBA said slowly. Nar chuckled at his friend. "So, how long have they been waiting for their sensei?" He asked, "2 hours wait did you just say they? We two have been waiting for our sensei." Ka replied while his pet dog Akamaru barked in agreement. Narut chuckled once again. Ka and Hinata looked at him as if he'd gone crazy. They watched him form a tiger seal and said, "Kai." And soon a blur from the wall came. I take you your teammate. A woman probably around 20 years of age appeared right when Narut dispelled the jingjutsu casted inside the room. Team 8 rather Ka and Hinata looked at their Jon and sensei with surprised looks in their faces. Meanwhile, everyone's eyes averted to the door which was starting to open and soon there was a tall silver-haired half-masked male Jonnin. Where's team seven? He asked. You're late. The pink-haired girl, Haruno Sakura, yelled. Narut only sighed. They better get used to him being late. Sorry I was late, you see. I got lost to the road of life. Kakashi replied. Liar. Sakura yelled once again. Nar chuckled. Then he started to laugh hysterically. Karinai being the calm and collected as she is. She too couldn't help but to laugh with Nar. Honestly, Nikon, is there really a road called the road of life? Naruto asked with a grin on his face. Fine, fine, Team 7. Let's just go to the rooftop. With that statement, he disappeared with a whirl of leaves. Shall we go then? Karinai asked her students who readily nodded their heads. With teammate, they reached outside of the academy with their hatai atachon. Inata wore her hat like a necklace while Ka wore his on his forehead. In Narut, his was different. He tied it on his left arm, making some of his bangs fall down. Karinai looked at her students from Ka to Hinata and then to Nar. The said woman was leaning against the tree. She watched her first students with a sigh. Not knowing why, she felt nervous over something. As if sensing Karinai's distress, Narut asked, "Sensei, aren't we supposed to introduce each other?" Karinai smiled inwardly at this. Okay, state your name, likes, dislikes, hobbies, and your dream. She said, "Ladies first," Narut said with a grin. "Okay, I'll start. My name is Yui Karinai. I like karaoke, comic books, and nice people. I also like to study various gingis known in the shinobi world. I dislike arrogant people who look down on others. I also dislike perverts. My hobby, aside from reading comic books and cookbooks, is painting. My dream for now is to make sure that the three of you will be promoted into a Junan rank. She said in a calm tone. Ka and Narut looked at their female teammate who was in the process of looking at the ground and fidgeting both of her index fingers. My name is Huga Hinata. I like nice people. She blushed at her train of thoughts that include a certain blonde. I dislike people who look down on weak people. My hobby is cooking. My dream is to make a difference in my clan. She looked down once again. This one needs to boost up her confidence. Thought Karinai. Everybody looked at Hinata. They were caught up with the silence. But Ka broke it up. Yo, the names in Isuka Ka. I like my pet and best friend Akamaru. I also like our team and to train. I dislike Sasuke's annoying fan girls. My hobbies are to hang out with my friends and to play with Akamaru. My dream is to become my clan's leader someday. He said and nudged Nar aside. That indicated his turn. While this one referring to Ka, he needs to lessen his self-confidence. Karinai stopped with her thoughts when Nar was about to speak. My name is Uzumaki Nar. I like my nikhan Sandenigi and I. He stopped for a moment and continued. nice people who acknowledge me for who I am. I like ramen and I also like to train. I dislike the long wait for my ramen to be cooked. Be it just minutes or seconds, I still dislike it. I also dislike arrogant people who look down on others as if they are weak. My hobby is to enjoy every ramen known to man. My dream is to become a hokag and to surpass every one of them, he said. Karinai looked at her students once again and smiled. Tomorrow, meet me at training ground number 19. 900 a.m. sharp sensei. What's the occasion? Ka asked. Karinai smiled again. Her smile for now will be mistaken as a grin. Let's just say tomorrow is the real Jennon exam. She said, "What dash?" Ka said almost shouted hyperventilating. Hinata was trying not to faint. Nar looked rather plain as if he had expected this. After all, he had lived with Kakashi, who always taught him a handful of things. Tomorrow at training ground 19 9:00 a.m. sharp. You're all dismissed, Karinai said. But before Narut could go, she called him right away. Narut, she called. Yes, sensei. He walked next to her. I was quite impressed that you've detected my jingitsu a while ago. Not even Ka with his dog or Hinata with her Bakugan had sensed me. You've passed an unofficial test, she said. Nar couldn't help but to blush at her praise. He was once again on his sheepish grin and scratching the back of his head just like yesterday at a Churakas. Karinai looked at him and giggled, audible enough for him to hear. Nar immediately looked up and saw her rather amusing look on her face. It's not like you get to see the Yuki Karinai, once called the ice queen for her deadly demeanor, known for being calm and collected at all times, giggle around. And today was one of Naruto s lucky days. He was able to see the real Karinai, the one he adored so much. He started to like her because of her wine red eyes, somewhat making him entranced. It made him feel something he couldn't even explain. Gmen any naraken he heard her say I karinai sensei Narut said in defense I was wondering did Kakashi teach you how to detect jingetsu Karina I asked the young blonde beside her I he didn't teach me how to detect it he replied then how did you detect through my jing jetsu she asked quite surprised how can someone beat my jingetsu so easily it's kind of weird actually karinai raised her eyebrow Well, you see, when everyone left except team 7 in our team, I saw something blurry and the rest I guess you know what happened. He said, "Ayano, am I dismissed now?" He asked an unnatural low tone. "Of course, you may go now, Karina," I said. She stood there watching her students retreating back. I saw something blurry and the rest, I guess you know what happened. It rang through her mind again, looking deep in thought. The Jenzhen exam training ground number 19 was something Ka would say comfortable. There was a clearing in the middle, obviously for training or sparring purposes, while it was surrounded by several trees since they were almost at the edge of the forest. From their spot, they could see a waterfall that was connected with a lake. Surely enough, this was comfortable. Three Jenzhen sat on a log while waiting for their sensei. You think she's just hiding in her jenzhen? So again, Ka asked. Nar shook his head this time. Where just earlier you see? He said, showing Ka the time that said 8:57 a.m. I guess when she says 9:00 sharp, she meant 9:00 sharp. Ka said while Akamaru barked in agreement on Hinata's lap. When the clock stroked 9:00, Akane came darting in, which Nar caught with ease. I see that you're all early. That's good. A female voice rang. Team 8 looked at their sensei who was walking towards a tree stump and placed an alarm clock which was set on 12:00 noon. As you can see, I have two bells here with me, Karina said as she held out two dangling bells. She tied it at her waist pocket and continued. Each bell is meant for one and only one Jenzhen. Before she could continue, Ka cut her off. But Karina sensei there are only two bells. He said that means one of you will have to go back being an academy student again. Karina replied to her currently pailed students get these bells to me with an intent to kill. Get this to me before your time run out with her last word. Teammate was nowhere to be seen. Near up to the trees, three Genjins were hiding from their sensei. Any plans? The boy with a fury jacket spoke. Okay, listen up. Here's the plan. the blonde boy said. Once they were finished, the boy with a fury coat jumped down. Looking never so confident. Ka stood 10 m away from Karinai along with his dog Akamaru who was in his jacket. Do you happen to know what you are doing? Karinai asked, "Hea acting so cocky placed his dog Akamaru on the ground. Me and Akamaru will take you on." He pointed towards Karinai direction. Karinai could only sigh at this. There goes my first test. Wait, where are the other two? Karinai pondered. She saw Akamaru turned into an exact replica of Ka while the real Ka shouted, "Good Suga." Karinai quickly sidestepped away. She cursed herself at how the Inuzukas were quite good whenever they fight with their dogs. Karinai quickly jumped when the real Ka charged at her. But her luck was not on this day. In midair, Karinai was still struggling with both Ka's and Akamaru's attacks. She tried to turn, but she only came face to face with a white blur. Karinai felt some of her tankets were being closed, causing her unable to move in midair. She could see herself falling and her opponents gone. At least that's what she thought until she heard someone shouted, "Surinujutsu." Soon she was inside of a bubble like prison, breaking her fall. Karinai looked at her jailer Narut who was being accompanied by Ka who was placing Akamaru in his jacket and Hinata who was holding the bells. Nar released his hold and Karinai was free. She looked at them inside. You three pass she said which earned a few cheers from the official teammate Naruto? She called out. Yes, Karinai sensei. Were you the one who thought of the strategy a while ago? she asked, which was followed by a nod. I see you'll be the team captain. You earned it, she said. Nar was speechless. It was like the ramen suddenly spoke and said, "Take me." Took him 3 seconds to come back to reality due to Ka's constant poking. Huh? Nar said, "Keep aside while Karinai and Hinata giggled. We're going to a karakas to celebrate. You're not just going to stand there, are you?" Ka said, "Of course not." Naruto was back within a nancond. The moment he heard at Karakas, which lead to ramen and more ramen, he heard they ran at Karina's side. Ayano Karinai sensei. Narut couldn't finish his sentence, but instead he took out Karina's konai to give it back to her. Oh, you can keep it, she said. Ayurado. Nar smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head. And Nar was looking at Nar then to her sensei. There was something different between the two that she couldn't put her finger on it. She never saw Karinai sensei act like this whenever she ran into her. To her, Karina sensei was cool, calm, well- collected, always serious, and sometimes noxious whenever it calls for it. Then her thoughts turned to Nar. Well, to her, Nar was her idol, being the loudmouth and carefree as he is. Truth be told, he was still her idol. His bright colors made her feel the things. To her that was unattainable. Um, Hinata, are you okay? Nar asked as he waved his hand and front of her face. Hinata was so deep in thought she didn't even notice Naruto's face in front of her saying something to her. She immediately blushed after seeing him in front and close to her. "Hinata, are you okay? You look kind of red, Narut said as he gently placed his palm to her forehead which made her more flustered and next to her was history. Hinata fainted but thankfully Ka was there to catch her fall. At a karakas currently eachas was jammed packed by team seven which consists of Herono Sakura Achi Haskque and Abberam Shino. They too passed their test much to Kakashi's dismay since there were rumors that Kakashi always fails his genuine team. And there was team 10 which consists of Yaminaka Enino Narishamaru and Akimichi Chuji. Kakashi was about to turn the page of his orange book when suddenly he winced. Losing his concentration in reading, he turned to see his student Sakura fighting Auma's student Eno. It was something about who should sit next to their precious saucen. Azuma was about to light his fourth stick, but when he saw a familiar Kunahichi enter the restaurant, he immediately put it away. He didn't want to remember the things Anko did to him and his precious cancer sticks. He immediately winced in the memory. "You're not looking for my brother, are you Anko Chan?" Kakashi asked with a chuckle. "What if I am? What are you going to do about it?" Kakashi Kayen. Anko said with a sly smirk on her face. Kakashi hadn't got any time to answer when the door suddenly slid open revealing team 8. Azuma was about to say something, but when he saw Anko's eyes lit as if they were blazing, he immediately shut his mouth. Hey Nudakan, we were just talking about you. Anko said walking in front of the blonde. Everybody was looking at their direction while the ones that didn't know what happened yesterday were curious like how did Narut knew her something like that while the others looked frantic until hey Narudakan what will be it for today I am said audible enough for everyone to hear Kakashi and Auma sighed in relief they could swear that Anko's fist was growing white in pressure u one miso and beef ramen for me Narut said with his cheerful voice how about you Yes, I am looked at the woman next to Narut. One beef ramen with extra chili. Enko said, "And you three?" I am asked looking at Karinai and the rest of teammate. Miso ramen. Karina said, "And miso ramen, please." Anata said almost like a whisper. Beef ramen with extra filling and two beef rolls for Aamiro. Ka said, "I'll just place your orders for the meantime. I take it that they passed." Azuma said, which earned him a nod. So, did my brother beat you to a pulp at Karinai? Kakashi teased the redeyed brunette. Karinai only glared at him. Nikhan, Narut said, giving his anki a warning. But before they could continue, their meals came. Here are your orders. I am said with a smile. Yush ita. Narut shouted with glee. And soon he ate his meals slowly, taking his time to taste the different ingredients of his precious ramen, just like Aika had taught him. Take your time. It's not like it will run away from you. Besides, a shinobi always takes his time, Aika said. Nar smiled on the memory as he munched on the noodles. Hey Chuji, when you eat your food, do you smile like that? Ka asked, pointing at Nar. Guess not, Ka said. He was still looking at Narut, who was smiling after he finished his miso ramen. By the time he ate his beef ramen, his smile fade away. Maybe it's the food or something. I usually got that expression whenever I like or don't like the food being served to me, Chuji whispered to Ka. That was delicious, old man. Narut said as he patted his full stomach. Little meeting. Once teammate was done eating, they left the ramen house for a little meeting. Late noon they were currently at the park. Karinai was standing in front of them while Hinata sat on the left side of the swing and Ka was on the right. Narut on the other hand was leaning on the left side of the swing. Our daily meeting will always be at 10:00 in the morning at training ground number 19. Is there any question or questions you would like to ask? She asked her students. When none came, she said, "Good. You're all dismissed." Karina saw Ka and Hinata leave, but Narut was still there, still leaning on the left side of the swing. What are you still doing here, Narut Kuan? She asked, "I got nothing else to do," he said. Looking somewhere else, he suddenly felt Karina's presence. Slowly, she walked to where Hinata used to sit. "Push me." Nar heard Karinai say, "Huh?" Narut looked at her for a second. "I gave you an order, Uzumaki." Nar, now do it. Karinai said in a commanding tone, "Hi." Naruto started to push the chains that were connected to the board she was sitting in. He could hear her giggle every time her back was close to him. Close enough to smell her hair. He even commented that it smelled like strawberries that matched her eyes. Maybe she really likes red. He thought as he pushed the chains again. Karinai never felt this emotion before. Surely it was something new that she didn't pick up in the sidewalks. She could even smell his scent every time she was close to him. It was something different. It was like it was made for him and him alone. It was somewhat strong, but it was making her taste buds tell her it was sweet. On her fifth swing, Karinai stopped. Nar saw Karinai stopped herself and then looked at him. Your next order is to ride the swing with me. He heard her say while he just mocked a salute to his superior. And soon they started to swing. Both of their feet were like trying to reach to skies above. Both were smiling, happy, and contented. Every time they swing forward, they could feel the air around them, which was starting to get slightly cold. They could see the sunset from their position. On three, we jump at the same time. The longer the jump is considered to be the winner, and the other is the loser. Karina said, "Okay, the loser will have to cook dinner for the winner. Deal?" Nar said deal. Karinai said in response on three Narut and Karinai said in chorus. One Narut, two Karinai. Three Nar and Karinai. Time seemed to slow back when they jumped. Haha. Looked like I won. Narut said, but he suddenly stopped when he found out his very intimidating position. Him on top of Karinai, the Yuji Karini. He quickly moved away. Gmanasai. He looked down from where he sat with flushed cheeks. Karinai found herself blushing as well. She was lucky enough that Naruto's head was down so that he couldn't see her blushing as well. Looked like he did one Naruto Kuan. She stood up from the sand. I guess I'll have to cook dinner for you, she said as she brushed away some dirt from her uniform. Ayano, which house will be in? Nar asked. Mine. Karina said dinner date. From where Narut sat, the living room was almost the size of his apartment, minus the bathroom and the kitchen. He looked at the walls. He could see some paintings hanged. He looked around, following his feet wherever they lead him to. He stopped to look at some pictures on a table. He saw some of Karinai's pictures. One picture caught his eye. It was a single photo of Karinai. She was wearing a purple yucata with a pink ribbon that tied around her waist. She wasn't wearing her hattight. Her hair was tied in a purple ribbon. He held the picture closely to his eyes so he could see more. As clear as the sun, Karinai was standing behind a cherry blossom tree, smiling. She She kind of looks like the woman in my dream. She can't be, Nar thought as he continued to gaze upon the picture before him. That picture was taken during a festival. A voice suddenly rang from behind. Naruto quickly placed the frame back on the table and saw Karinai still standing at the doorway with two meals on both of her hands. He probably walked back to the couch where Karinai was now sitting. Karinai was about to say dig in when somebody poofed in the living room. [ __ ] Narut thought. When the smoke was gone, it revealed two people namely Midarashi Enko and Yuzuki Higo. Were we interrupting something? Enko asked more like teased while Higo was looking at Narut. No, you're not. We were just going to have dinner when you two poofed in. Karinai said flatly. So, we did interrupt something. Enko said not really listening. Karina Chan, who's he? Higo interrupted. He's my student. His name is Uzumaki Narut. Oh, Higo had already heard this Uzumaki Nar from some fellow ENBU. She remembered how Jirro, her fellow Ianbu colleague, got hit by a right Anjutsu that was transmitted by this familiar blonde when she happens to be passing by the Hokage's office. What are you girls doing here? Karinai asked. We just thought we could come and give you a visit, Yuzuki said. Why? You're planning to do something to Naruto Kuan, aren't you, Karina Chan? Enko said eyeing her best friend. What? That is so not you, Karina Chan. That is Are you? Yuzuki said acting like she was in panic. Karinai was red. Red from anger, embarrassment, and you could probably guess that she's also blushing. Even Nar found himself in a very intimidating situation. Him in the middle of three women and considered to be one of the beautiful and deadliest kunahis in Konoha. Enoarina sensei. I'll just go to the kitchen and eat there. I'll leave you with your guests, Narut said. But before he could even stand a hand stopped him. He looked at the owner of the hand which came from the Midarashi Enko. Nonsense. You can stay here. I doubt that Karina Chan here would want you to go. After all, you're already here. Enko gave him one of her maniacal grin that caused Nar to gulp down something inside of his throat. He's kind of interesting for a kid, but still a who cares, Yugo thought. Nar started to eat his food. He didn't even notice the stairs being given to him by both purple-haired Kunahisus while Karinai was eating and glancing at Nar then to Enko and Yugo. Karinai just simply sighed when she finished eating while Nar willingly did the dishes. As he washed the dishes, three pairs of eyes were watching at him, or rather his back. He just simply left both plates on the rank at his left. By the time he turned around, he saw three women looking at him. He cocked an eyebrow and said, "Is there something wrong?" He asked. "No, nothing's wrong." Enko and Yugo said in chorus, whose both cheeks were pink, Karina was stopping herself not to laugh or anything. She never saw Enko who's always playing on some guy or Yugo who's always hard to get a date on since she's an NBU became embarrassed by some guy at their age group but by some 14 years old kid this was really hard not to laugh on the meal was delicious sensei Nar said being polite and all he bowed in front of her as courtesy which of course taught by Aika Karinai saw him bow at her nobody has ever done that to her not even Asuma or Kakashi. Her train of thoughts flashed fast to prove her theory. But when she found that there was really no living male has or have bowed at her, her theory was proven. Correct. She didn't even realize that she let out a small blush, but it quickly faded away. It's getting late. Naruto Quinn, "You better head home now," Karinai said. "Thank you for the meal, sensei." With his last statement, he went to the door and waved his goodbye. "I guess I'll go now. I have to go patrol around the village. Enko said, "Yummy too. I had duties as well." Yugo said, following Enko from behind. See youa. Enko said as she waved her hand. It was nice seeing you and him your student Karina Chan. Yugo said with a wink and soon she poofed away. Karinai was walking to her bedroom thinking about what had happened during her day. She had already changed into her pajamas. Still thinking about her day, she gently lay on her bed. With a heavy sigh, she sat up. It was just a day come one go to sleep already. Admit it, Karinai, you enjoyed it. Anko Karinai said with her rare appearance, Karinai didn't even know she had one in herself. Admit what? I don't even know what you're talking about. I'll come on. You love his sensei. You even said that before Enko Karinai could continue. Karinai already beat her up to it. Stop it. Let me sleep. Karinai was now struggling from her own self. Admit it first. Fine. I enjoyed what happened today and I love his scent happy now. I can't believe I'm talking to myself. Ha. I bet you even enjoyed his touch when he was on top of you. Haha. Hugo Hinata woke up early as always, gazing up to the white wall she was accustomed to. Her room had been white as far as she can remember. Not even a single bright color can be seen in her room. Except white though. Noticing the clock on her desk. It clearly stated 8:00 a.m. She remembered the little meeting they had yesterday. From there, she decided to head towards the bathroom for a shower. After a couple of minutes, Hinata went to the kitchen for a little breakfast. There she saw her father who was about to turn a page from his newspaper. She also saw her little sister Hinabi and her cousin Niji. Hinata greeted them good morning and proceeded to take her breakfast. She noted that she still has a plenty of time before going to the said training ground. There was the usual awkward silence once again in the Hugas. Guy sensei told us that your team passed yesterday. Hinata sama. Congratulations. Niji said breaking the silence. Hugo Hayashi, the Huga Clan leader, was listening to Niji's words. He pretended not to. As he turned another page of his newspaper, "That's good to hear. I don't expect you had the big role in this test." Hayashi said, still looking at his newspaper. Hinata was looking down again. She had expected this. How did you and your team pass Karina's test? Hinata sama. Niji asked, changing the topic. Hinata started to tell how teammate passed. She started with the detail that Narut was the one who thought of the strategy. With this information, Hayashi started to listen attentively, pretending once again that this wasn't in his interest. Hinata stated that her teammate Ka started the first attack and then she stated that she closed Karina's tanketsu as the second attack. Niji smiled at this. Then Hinata started to tell about what Narut did. Surely enough this caught everybody's attention. He used a misjutsu hayashi. He will be a worthy opponent. Worthy indeed. Niji is quite strong and smart for his age. Him. Interesting that Narut him very interesting. Hannabi ka. Meanwhile, at the Inazuka household, Inazuka Kiba was about to open his eyes and then proceeded to sleep again until Akumaro came and started to wake his master with his continuous licking on Ka's face. He immediately woke up and proceeded to the bathroom for a shower. By the time he was done, he took some clothes from his dresser and noted that it was only 8:30 a.m. In the morning, he sighed and took Akumaro in his fury jacket as always. He headed downstairs only to meet a wondrous aroma coming from the kitchen. When he was about to enter, he got bumped by his sister in a zukahana. Watch where you're going, runt. She said as she too was entering the kitchen. Ka was about to give a retort, but his stomach beat him up to it. He just shrugged. The idea of her sister eating breakfast with him, completely ignoring her in the process. Are you going out today, Kaun? Ka's mother asked. "Hi," he said. "So, you actually passed your Jonin instructor's test?" Hannah said almost disbelieving. "Actually, we did." KBA shot back. KBA's mother only sighed. She was about to witness another verbal battle between her daughter and son. "I bet you had the little role during your test." Hannah said, teasing her little brother. Ka was growing red in anger until his mother broke the upcoming retort. Care to tell us how you and your team passed? Kakun Ka's mother said loud enough for them to hear. Ka narrated what had happened yesterday. He started to tell that Nar was the one who thought of the plan. Everybody chuckled when he said that he boasted off telling that he can take on Karinai. Then he was suddenly interrupted by his sister. "Ha, I knew you were only a distraction," Anna said. KBA's eyebrow twitched while his hand or rather his fists started to crumble like mad. Ka's mother just sighed and said, "What happened next, Kaakun?" She said, "Changing the topic once again." As I was saying, he started again giving them the detail that Hinata closed Karina's tensus. And the next was left to Nar. Nar used this swagen jutzu to catch Karina sensei. It was um su ka was thinking of the jutzu Narut used to catch karinai. Surin no jutzu ka's mother finished his sentence. Yeah that's the jutzu ka said as he ate his breakfast. Unknown to him two people were left thinking about the sudden information they've received. Sirin no jutsu quite advanced for his age. Sing him. I wonder if he could do more. Interesting. Maybe I could go and take a little visit. Hannah. Nar. Meanwhile, at Naruto's apartment, Nar clad in his usual clothing, his orange jumpsuit. He started to prepare breakfast. After making two sunny side up eggs, two bowls of heated ramen, and a big bowl of rice, he placed the food on the table until food. Kakashi entered the apartment like a starved man with droopy eyes. He went straight to the kitchen where Nar was. Nar sighed as he saw his Aniki who had a droopy face then suddenly turned to an amusing look. Nar hated that look whenever he saw that look on Kakashi's face and meant trouble for Nar. He could see his smirk under his face mask as if the said thing wasn't there. They both sat opposite to one another. They'd been like this when Kakashi found out that Narut can cook. He even asked his odo to where did he learn though Narut just always changes the topic. I was on patrol last night. Kakashi started. Oh, Naruto said looking at his ramen. Aren't you going to ask me where? Kakashi said smirking under his face mask. At this point, Narut dropped his chopsticks. He immediately picked it up and said, "Ha, I was patrolling near the park last night and then I saw something quite interesting." Kakashi said with a chuckle. Nar gulped. Really? What did you see? Nikon. Nar asked. But before Kakashi could answer, somebody knocked at the door. Enko was there waiting after she knocked at Naruto's door. Nar quickly ran to the door, thanking the gods for the sudden popup. By the time he answered the door, he was greeted by a purple-haired Kunahichi. Midarashi Enko, what can I do for you, Enkoan? He asked. Enko just grinned and let herself in. "Oh, I was just near the neighborhood and I just thought I'd drop by and give you a visit," she said, looking everywhere in his apartment. She noticed Kakashi at the kitchen and the food at the table. She helped herself with a bowl of rice and one serving of Naruto's sunny side up egg. "There goes my egg." Nar thought with a sigh. He just helped himself with his trusty ramen. Once he was done eating, he told Kakashi that he was going to meet his teammates about something that he didn't know. And with that statement, he left his apartment. Enko stood and proceeded to clean the dishes she used. Leaving a dumbfounded Kakashi. What? She asked. "You clean dishes?" he said. "I do live on my own, don't I?" she said sarcastically and went straight to the door. Kakashi was left staring at the closed door, leaving his egg untouched yet. When he was done, he slowly went to clean the dishes and muttered something about crazy women and proceeded to do his jin duties. Team Karinai. It was 9:45 a.m. At the moment, Naruto walked to teammate's training ground. He noticed someone was already there. He saw Hinata with someone that looked like her only, that someone was rather small and has a long black hair similar to Hinata's father. She must be Hinata Chan's sister or something, he thought. He walked up to them and greeted them which in turn they greeted back. How long have you been here Hinatachan? Nar asked sitting next to her. I've been here with my sister for just a couple of minutes. She said more like a whisper. Hinabi was listening to their little conversation. She couldn't help but to feel a little out of place and a little mad because of the way they act as if she wasn't there. I see. Narut took a glance on Hinabi and said, "Hi, the name Zuzumaki Nar. What's yours?" he said, offering his hand. Hinabi looked at him and at his hand and then at him and then at his hand again and shook Naruto's hand. Hugo Hinabi, Hinata's younger sister. She said, letting go of his hand. She even commented in her head that his hand was rough yet warm. This probably due to constant training. Hinabi thought they waited for Ka and his dog. After 10 minutes, KBA was there with someone in Toa as well. Narut and Hinata swear they saw Ka's eyebrow twitch several times when he walked to them. Good morning, Ka said, which in turn earned him a few good mornings as well. They looked at the woman behind Ka. She had the same markings on the face just like Ka. Ka noticed they're staring at his sister and decided to introduce her to his teammates much to her sister's delight. One hour ago, "Why do you have to go with me? Don't you have anywhere to go?" Ka asked annoyingly. "What is so wrong if I go there with you?" Hannah said, "You'll just distract me." KBA shouted. Yeah, yeah, dream on Ka as if present time. It was soon close to 10:00. Teamm 8 was waiting quietly for their Jon and instructor just like yesterday. When their clock stroked in, they heard a poof only to reveal a grinning Midarashi ankle. "What?" she asked. Teammate just sighed. They thought it was their sensei. As simple as counting 1 2 3. Their sensei was late. "Late is in 30 minutes late." When Karina came, she was clad in her jawn and uniform and still droopy. She had the surprise look when she saw the new additions, namely Anko Hannah with her dog and Hannabi. Slept late. Karina, Anko said as she gave a pat on Karina's back. Wonder why? Anko added while she rubbed her chin, acting like she was deep in thought. Karina didn't answer. She remembered herself battling against her in herself and was now blushing. She kept her head low so nobody could see her flushed cheeks. Anko was looking at Karina. She started to giggle that turned to a hysterical laugh. Stop it, Anko Chan. Teammate, let's just go and take our first mission. Karina left, followed by Narut, Hinata, and Ka with Akamaru. Anko stopped laughing when Karina left along with her team while Hannah was wondering what's up with Karina. Hannabi, on the other hand, was left once again. She just helped herself back to the Huga compound. Mission currently, the administration's office. aka the Hokag's office was quiet, damned quiet in the worker's opinion. In the middle of the room, was an old man, preferably. All ninjas looked up to this old man, aka the sandame Hokag of Kohaa. The sandame was with a chuanin named Yumino Iraqa. They were currently fixing some load of paperworks and mission reports. They heard a knock on the door and immediately the Hokag said, "Come in." Soon there was an orange flash came barging and followed by the rest of team 8 with their Julen instructor. "Hey Sandame, GG, we want our first mission and make it interesting," Narut said with great enthusiasm in his tone. "Interesting mission, huh?" Sandame said with a chuckle. "Okay," he added as he went through some mission scrolls. When he found one duranked mission, he gave it to Karinai. "You should take your leave soon. That mission is rather long to finish. It might take you a week or two, Sandame said as he gave a wink on his statement while Karinai noticed the Sandames wink. She immediately excused her team to do their interesting mission just like what the Sandame said. Not any sensei. What does it say? Do we get to save someone, stop an assassination attempt or stop some rogue bandits? What is it, Sensei? Naruto asked. Nope, she replied. Just follow me," she added, which all three Jennins just complied. Shortly, they were in front of a house. It wasn't big either. It wasn't small either. It has a fence in the front that serves as the front gate. It also has a garden in the front of the house to give a little decoration. When the said old man saw the hired ninjas, he greeted them promptly. Immediately, the old man separated the three jennins. He pulled Nar first and led him in front of the fence opposite a garden and gave him a bucket of white paint and a brush. It's all in the wrist, the old man said. Nar just looked at the brush in his right hand and at the bucket with a blank look. He was muttering something about stupid old geyser. At this point, a certain old geyser sneezed in front of his paperwork, causing his signature to get smudged. While Narut was still looking at the brush at his hand and the bucket of white paint, both girls, namely Karina and Hinata, were led to a garden, obviously to do some gardening, weeding, and more weeding. Karina was thankful that Hinata used her beer cooking to make the job easier. With a 360° range of sight, their job was fairly easy enough. The old man was now leaving Ka with his dog inside his house to do some polishing. It only registered to Ka when he was pushed semi-dragged inside the living room. From there, he saw the amount of things he was about to polish. Meanwhile, with Nar, he had a big white paint in front of his jumpsuit. After opening the big kin in a clumsy manner since there were only three people on site, including him, he decided to take off his jacket and put it on the ground. He was only clad in his orange pants and a blue t-shirt. I'm definitely going to wash up after this. Nar thought. You better take off your shirt if you don't want it to be smudged as well. The old man said from the side. Nar complied. He was now half naked as he walked past the old man and the people at the old man's garden, namely Karina and Hinata. When his back was evident, they could see a tattoo on his back. It looked like wings as the old man. Hinata and Karina thought. Nar returned to his work. Kgi Bashan no jutzu. he said. Soon there were five clones making the job easier. By the time Nar was done, he disposed all clones and he also noticed two things. One, it was raging hot. Second, there were people staring at him. Do I have something on my face? Nar asked. It was only the old man who answered. No, you actually did a fine job with the fence. He said, I'll just go and tell my daughter to get you all a drink. The old man left. He must be new in the village. He doesn't even know who I am. Narudo thought. Meanwhile, in the old man's living room. There lies Ka who was exhausted from his job. He had polished several pots, vases, and a statue that were antiques and a marble table that has an area. When the old man walked past the living room, he saw the kid lying on the floor with his dog, Akamaru. Hey kid, meet with your friends outside. the old man said more like a command. When KBA went outside, he was greeted by a half- naked Nar. What happened to you? Ka asked, pointing his index finger to the blonde. My jumpsuit got smudged by the white paint. Narut said, Oh, Ka's reply as he sat next to Hinata, who was sitting at the wooden railing at the porch while Karinai was leaning at the wooden column pondering about what she saw a while ago. Meanwhile, in Naruto's mind, "Yo, Kit, what's wrong with you? You seem a little quiet." QB said, "Nothing. I was just resting." Nar replied, "Bh, you never rest and besides that job. Wasn't even fit for your taste." QB said. Nar chuckled. "Well, of course, in his mind only." "Yeah, even in your tastes as well for ball. I'm off for now. See youa," Narut said as he broke their link. "Um, refreshments everyone." A new voice came. Apparently, it came from a female, probably the old man's daughter. Her name was Senoko. She had the same raven hair just like her father. While the color of Sonoko's eyes was honey brown, most likely came from her mother. From Karinai's POV, Senoko must be around her age. And Karinai's age in here is 20. Nar looked at the woman with a blank facial expression. When she offered him a drink, she saw something that caught her eye. It was Naruto's necklace. "Excuse me?" Senoko asked, looking at the blonde. Aside from Narut, the rest of team Karinai looked at Senoko. "Did your mother give you that necklace?" Senoko said, pointing at the necklace. "I a girlfriend then?" she asked, making the blonde boy blush. "Well, you already have a girlfriend?" Senoko said with a chuckle. No, Naruto said bringing both hands in defense came from my sensei. Nar added he had a gut feeling that he had said something wrong. Or at least that's what he thought. After the said revelation, Hinata and Ka looked at their sensei then to Nar and again it continued until Nar noticed their constant staring. No, I didn't mean it like that. The necklace came from my first sensei. Nar added once again. How did you know it came from a girl? Nate Chan Narudo asked trying to change the topic. It's rather simple actually. Have you tried looking at it closely? If no, then will you see this gem? Or shall I say ruby? Has some interesting silver carvings judging by its design. It's made for a girl and from the way. This gem was cut. I'd say it's made for a princess or someone who came from a clan of nobility. Synoko paused, studying the necklace thoroughly. Your sensei must have the same. I color with that necklace of yours. When Senoko saw the young blonde nod. She let go of the necklace. How do you know these things? Nar asked. Oh, um, well, you see, my father and I travel a lot. We mostly study on symbols and some old stuff, but we decided to take a little vacation for a while. I see. After several minutes of rest, teammate took their leave. Once they neared an intersection, Hinata decided to take her leave since the said street headed to her house. While Ka decided to walk with her, leaving Narut with Karina again. When the said Jennins walked away, Karina stopped walking making Narut to stop as well. So, who was your first sensei? Naruto clan? Karina started. Her name is Aika. Nar responded. What does she looks like? Karina asked. Actually, she kind of looks like you, Karina Sensei. Karina raised her eyebrow. She um Well, you both have the same eye color and the same hair color and oh, she's also good in Jenjutsu just like you, Sensei. What were the things she had taught you Naruto clan? Karina asked obviously intrigued. She um Narut looked down and scratched the back of his head. a signature look. Whenever Naruto got nervous around someone, Naruto looked up and continued. She taught me several things like tai jutsu, ninjutsu, jen jutsu, and even kenjutsu. She also taught me how to cook as well and some etiquette. Also, some things that I didn't know the purpose of it. She just said that it's to keep my emotions in check or something. Nar said, scratching the left side of his cheek with his index finger. I see. So when you made that deal, you were ready for the consequences. Karina said, "Wow, yeah, kind of." Narut said as he scratched the back of his head. Karina sighed. Yet she smiled inwardly. "I have to go to the Hokag's office for our mission report. Goodbye, Narut Kuan." With her last statement, she poofed away to the Hokag's office. "See you soon, Karina Sensei," he said under his breath. "Mission report." Late afternoon at the Hokage's office, a knock on the door was heard. From the inside, an old man's voice responded with a comein. Slowly, a new figure walked in. I take that the mission is complete. The old man known as Sandame Hokag said. Hi, Hokag Sama. The Jonan replied in a stern tone. Tell me, Karina Sand, did something interesting happen? Sandame said turning to lit up his pipe. Interesting? What could be interesting in a deranked mission? Karinai thought. Interesting. Okage sama. Karinai asked curiously. When Karinai saw the old man nod, she recalled what had happened during their mission. Well, if I may say, it's kind of disturbing and somewhat interesting as well. Hokag sama. Karinai said, "What was the interesting part?" Sandame asked. A while ago, I learned that Naruto had a sensei before me and he even commented that we had some resemblance. Karinai replied, "Resemblance?" The Hokag thought. That is quite interesting. Karinai sand. Now tell me, what was it that disturbed you? Sandame asked. It concerns on Naruto Hokag Sama. Well, by chance me, a villager and also the rest of my team saw Naruto's back. He had a tattoo that looked like wings on his back. It's as if he has wings and both shoulder blades. Hokag sama. So it has begun. You should have seen it my friend. Sandame thought making him deep and thought not even hearing what was Karinai was saying. Hokag sama. Karinai asked bring back the old man away from his train of thoughts. Karinai sand. Tell me has Narut Kuan told you something about his vision being blurry? Sandame asked. Karinai was curious to where was this discussion would lead to? Yes, he did. Hokag sama. She said, "When did it happen?" Karina Sandame asked. It was before I gave my team their test. Sandame nodded at the every information he gained. Is there something wrong Hokag sama? Karinai asked, eyeing the Hokag as if she's trying to read the old man's mind. Nothing is wrong that I assure you. Tomorrow you may get your and your team's pay. Also, could you get Kakashi Kuan from me? I've got some things to discuss with him. Sandame ordered asked Karinai. Karinai only nodded and asked is this about Narutkuin? No, this doesn't concern about your student Karinai sand. Sandame lied. Karinai bowed to her superior and poofed away to find the said capin. Dear ranked missions, the easiest mission a ninja could have. Despite from being the easiest, it is also the lamest. But for Uzzuaki Naruto's opinion, it is another step forward in becoming Hokag. Or at least in his mind, he had been contemplating whether these missions are good to the fact that all you have to do is do simple chores like buy the groceries, weed the garden, paint fences, fix the roof, deliver some things, or even find someone's cat. This is even way out of his league, much to Cuba's dismay. It has been a week since the rookie Nion has started doing their missions. having no luck to their missions. Well, what luck can you get in a deranged mission? Outskirts of Kenoha. Is the target visible? A man's voice asked. The target is visible. A girl's voice responded. The target is visible. A boy's voice said. The third person in the team replied, "Air didn't reply." Slowly, they walked away from the bushes to catch Kuriken. The said feline who's been missing from Kahamaru's arms. When the feline detected her spectators, she ran away only to be caught by teammates member Uzumaki. Nar Kuriken knew her master's friends that included Nar in the list. Hey, we were here first. Sakura yelled, "But we got the cat first." Ka shot back, "Arder." Sakura was beyond mad. Hen replied the set of injure. Shino didn't reply once again. Kakashi was back to his beloved orange book with a red/circle at the back telling that it's for adults only. After 5 seconds, the group consists of Kakashi's team and Karina's team were hearing some sound of giggling. Sansi, Sakura yelled, making everybody winced at the pitch of her yell. Huh? Did you say something? Kakashi said, which made Sakura more furious. Sasuke, stoic as ever, just crossed his arms. Anata and Ka just stared at team 7. Karina and Nar just sighed. Kuricken just meowed while Shino just stood there quiet. I think she likes you Nar. Anata said pointing at the cat. I've petted her before whenever I visit Canon Maru at the Sartobi compound. Nar replied while Kurakin was playing one of Naruto's locks near his neck making him flinch a little. Ticklish inner Karina. I thought Karina sensei. Kuriken wants your beloved attention. Nar said teasingly while Kurakin was reaching for Karina's red sleeve like a baby. Nar gave the feline to his sensei. As it reached Karina's arms, it was playing one of Karina's locks near her shoulder. When this was happening, everybody was watching in every detail, not giving a damn about what were they seeing. Since it's in the nature of the felines to play around as always. But in Kakashi's perverted mind, it had a different aspect. Nar, it's early Utah to have babies. Kakashi said. Narut raised an eyebrow. Babies, he said and took a glance on Karina who had a flushed pink cheeks while Kuriken meowed. Mis Kakashi laughed at his otudo. Mama, let's just go to the Hokage's office to report back our mission. Kakashi said, "Wait, did you just say our mission? Does it include them as well? Sakura pointed out. Kakashi simply nodded and said, "This is a joint team mission. A joint team mission." Sasuke repeated. And now he tells us. Sakura said, "Hokag Tower, one of the most peaceful places in Kenoha, especially during noon time. Most workers were doing their respective duties. Some were chatting about where they could hang out after work hours. Others were bushed out due to stress wanting to get away from all the strain. Let's take for example our beloved Hokag who already finished a tower of paperwork in a record time. A finally no paperwork today. I can get to enjoy this piece and quiet for once. Sandame thought lighting his pipe as he turned to the window revealing the Okag monument. Much to his dismay, his so-called peace and quiet was taken away easily. The offic's door banged open, showing team seven and team eight. So much to my peace and quiet. Sandame thought. Sandame was thinking whether to pick the C ranked one or the usual D-ranked one. Don't even think about giving us a D-ranked mission, old man. Nar added, giving stress on Sandames nickname. Sandame was in panic. He remembered when Nar used that nickname, the memory already, giving him the nose bleed. But by mere chance, he accidentally picked up the D-ranked mission scroll. "Big mistake, old man," Nar added. Everyone was starting to feel that something was seeping out of the blonde. They all saw Nar form a hand seal and said, "Ham, no jutsu." Soon there were eight naked women saying, "Serto Bisama as fast as the speed of sound." The nosebleleeds occurred coming from the raging hormone teenagers, perverted men, and from the perverted old gizzer as well. Not long enough, there were medics everywhere helping out. Some were confused, like how in Cammy's name, Deei Shinobi suffered with so much blood loss, and it managed to injure the Hokag and even Kakashi Koha's capin. After the chaos brought by the newly formed jutzu, the jutzu has been declared as a kjutsu, making it forbidden to use. It took the men for almost 20 minutes to revive to their feet. That left the three genans who were still unconscious courtesy of Naruto's jutzu. Sakura was helping her dearest Saskakan while Shino was being helped by a medic. Hinata on the other hand was looking out for Ka. Fine, this will be a joint team mission. Team seven with team eight. Both Jonins will be in charge. Your mission is to protect a bridge builder named Tzuna as well as his family. Sandame gave the mission scroll to Kakashi. Where is this man we're supposed to protect? Karina asked. At the same moment, the said man entered the room, looking at his protectors. Are they the ones who are going to protect me? He said, pointing at the ninjas with his index finger. Yes, they are. Please don't underestimate them. They are more reliable than you think. Sandame said, "I was talking about the brats." Tzuna said, "Why you dash?" Naruto was about to attack Tzuna with his fists, but then he was stopped by his sensei. Karinai, we're not here to kill Tzuna San we're here to protect him, Karinai said. Then she turned around to Tzuna. I suggest you take the Hokag's advice if I were you, Karinai added. The moment Tzuna saw Karinai's eyes, he could feel his feet being buried to the floor, either from fear or anxiousness. Tzuna got even more nervous when he got suddenly crept up by a half-masked man and told him something about you haven't seen the scariest part. Sandame coughed a little bit to make known his presence once again. During your trip to Wave Country, you will meet someone named Memoi Abuza. Sandame said, "Isn't he the renowned demon of the mist?" Karinai asked. On Sandame's face, thereformed a smile. "Yes, to everyone's knowledge, he is the famous demon of the mist, but he is also one of my so-called contacts at the outside world. It is one of his ways to survive, be one with the hunter, as what he had said to me all those years." Sandame smiled. "Zabuza will lead you on the way there about this." Sandame said as he pulled another scroll and gave to Kakashi who eyed the contents of the said scroll. Nami knows Zisho day one noon near the west gate of Kohaa stood an old man probably in his late 40s. The said old man was with a group of young ninjas who were also waiting as well just like him. The old man he noticed something about the group. There was a pink-haired girl who was fawning over this raven-haired boy who was crossing his arms, ignoring the pink-haired girl. There was this weirdl looking boy playing with his dog. There were two silent kids. The first one was looking down while the other one was different. Tzuna couldn't even tell where he was looking because of his deep shaded sunglasses. Lastly, Tzuna noticed that he was being watched. He turned around to see who was staring at him, only to find the same blond-haired boy who was about to attack him earlier. After 10 minutes, they all heard a poof. When the smoke dissipated, it showed teammates Jan and instructor Yui Karinai. She asked if Kakashi had showed up. But when Ka said that he saw the cap ne entering a bookstore on his way to the gate, everybody swear they saw an imaginary vein popping out on Karinai's forehead. The vein popping only stopped when Kakashi showed up with a new edition of Aika Aika Paradise. "Yo, let's go." Kakashi said behind his new orange book. The next thing they knew, they were walking away from the west gate. Kakashi was Shino on the front. Sakura ogling over Sasuke at the back of Kakashi and Shino. Hanata with Ka at Tzuna's side both left and right respectively, while at the back were Narut and Karinai. As they all walked, none gave a damn about the puddles on the ground, but Narut did. Karinai saw the ones at the front stopped walking, especially Kakashi. She too stopped and saw. Nar standing in front of numerous abnormal puddles. The next thing they saw was a blur. Everybody was caught up with a blur that turned into a group of ninjas and samuris. There were four ninjas, particularly from the hidden village of the mist, and four samuris that came from the hidden village of the rock. They were so caught up that no one realized that. One member of their group was captured quite easily, much to her dismay. Give us the old man and this won't get messy. The leader said, pointing at Tzuna with his katana. What if we don't? Kakashi replied. She dies. the leader said, pointing to the captured Karinai. Sensei teammate cried. They were in a battle position, ready to rescue their sensei. Nobody moves. If one of you moved, we'll kill you instead. Leaving the old man and this exotic woman of yours to us, the leader said as he grinned manically. With this said, all the enemies were moving near team seven and team eight. Nar loosened up and he moved. The enemy leader's eyes shot at the blonde who was doing something with his hands. It didn't register to the leader's eyes. It was like a fast blur. The fool, what the heck was he thinking? Forming hand seals when someone is ready to stab him at the back. The leader thought they could all see Nar stabbed at the back by the enemy being thrown at the side of the nearby forest. Nar beat. Karinai witnessed everything. She was still shaking from the fact that Narut was stabbed in front of her. She could feel some beatings inside of her that she couldn't even comprehend. Beat can't be beat. Naruto Kuan's dead. Beat. Impossible. Beat. It must be a jingitsu. Beat. But how come I didn't detect it? Beat. I should have stopped it from happening. Beat. The sound of beatings didn't stop. It only took its pace even further and soon it became more ragged. What's the matter? Scarito Jucken? The leader asked behind Karinai's ear. If I get loose from you, I swear I'm going to kill you. Karinai said with grid teeth. Let's see you try. The leader Mothan now free Jouan. Currently, both Jonins, Kakashi, and Karinai were fighting against the enemy ninjas. While the five genans were defending Tzuna's life against four samuris, Sakura and Hinata were both at Tzuna's side. Ka and Akamaru already formed the giene bashan. Shino was calling out his Kikai bugs. At the same time, Sasuke formed a set of hand seals and called out. Katan Gaku no jutsu. Once the flames were off, there was only one samurai left. Ka used his gazuga to their last enemy, wanting to make his opponent to feel the loss he received. Meanwhile, both Kakashi and Karinai were trying to fend off the flying shurikens heading their way. This is beginning to be child's play. The enemy ninja said as he formed a series of hand seals and said, "Sutan Sukuden, no jutzu." Kakashi was about to cast the jutzu. The moment he saw the upcoming barrage of water until he heard a familiar voice, shout out, "Sutan Surgeon Hiki." Soon both Jonins were seeing a wall of water in front of them. They both turned and saw the caster Nar with somebody in tow. When the water dissipated, it revealed five ninjas, three leaf ninjas and two mist ninjas. The enemy ninjas stepped back. When they saw the new additions, namely Mamakasabusa and Haku, and its female Haku. What's the matter? You all looked like you've seen a ghost. Zabusa said as he picked up his sword. Kabakiri Ho Cho from his back bringing it forth. Haku Zabusa called out. Haku slowly walked up to the enemy ninjas while in her right hand held four needles for each enemy ninjas. Perfect number, Haku thought. With one shot, Haku managed to slay a single ninja with her keen shot at its neck. One down, three to go, Haku said behind her mask. Three needles were left in her hands, but this time she fired them all together, making the enemy ninjas lifeless before her. Zabusa noticed the blonde kid next to him as if the blonde was flinching or something. "What's the matter, kid?" Zabusa asked. "And nothing." Nar managed to stutter before he fell unconscious. "Why, kid, you okay?" Zabusa said. Everybody's attention flew to them. Both Karinai and Kakashi ran up to them to see if Nar was okay. While the Jennins walked to them, but Kakashi told them not look. Meanwhile, Karinai, Haku, and Zabusa were beside Narut. They saw the stab near Naruto's left shoulder. Karinai didn't imagine that the stab passed through his body. Slowly, they all saw a small tint of red chakra coming out of his body, healing his wounds perfectly. But something was off. Nar had not yet awakened from his unconsciousness. Kakashi walked up to them and carried Nar at his back. He looked at Tzuna with both of his eyes, revealing his spinning sharangan to the man before him. Explain yourself. You only ordered protection from rogue bandits animals, but you never spoken of enemy ninjas. This mission is clearly a highlevel C-ranked mission. Not only that, this mission managed to hurt my little brother. At the mention of little brother, Tzuna looked at the kid Kakashi was carrying and looked down. Now I tell you again, explain yourself, Tzuna. Kakashi said. Tzuna started to tell the whole group about what has been happening in Wave Country, including Gatu, who wants Tzuna dead for making this bridge that will corrupt his Gatu business. Tzuna, Zabusa said as if tasting the name. Tzuna looked at the famous demon of the mist with bullets forming at the side of his face. "Kakashi, if that kid wakes up, he'll probably tell us to continue this mission." Zabusa said as he looked at Kakashi and turned to look at Karinai, "Right," Zabusa asked, looking at Karinai, who only nodded and looked worried to her student. "Besides, I'm sure Tunisan here will have to pay the full amount for your mission." Right to Zunisan, Zabusa said with earned him a nod from the bridge builder. Zabusa walked forward with Haka leading the way while Kakashi followed behind. Karinai and the others walked next to them. Wait, you're going to help us? Kakashi asked, bringing down his high tight to hide his left eye. Right, you are. I believe Monkey told you about this. Am I right? Zabusa said. Kakashi pondered for a while when Zabusa said monkey Zabusa actually meant Saratobi Saraman's monkey. Kakashi thought yes he did. Kakashi said just our luck. Everything seems to take its place don't you think? Zabusa said as he walked to the near boat with a man in it. It's rather peaceful yet disturbing in here. Karinai thought while Narut was sound asleep at her lap. Both of them were at the back while the ones at the front were Kakashi and Zabusa followed by Haku, Tzuna and Shino. Next to them were Sasuke and Sakura followed by Hinata and Ka and the ones at the back as well including the driver of the boat. Some were thinking about what had happened earlier. Let's take for example that was the sharing gone. Kakashi sensei had the sharing gone. Sasuke, this boy is a demon vessel just like Haku. Zabusa, he's just like me. Haku, what was that feeling a while ago? Felt like my heart was beating hard and fast. Karinai took them 20 minutes to arrive at the shoreline of the wave country. The first thing they saw was the fair treatment the villagers had. Some were poor. Some were lucky to have homes, as they call it. Soon they were in front of Tzuna's house. It wasn't small or big. It was perfect for the old man and his family. Welcome to my humble home, Tzuna said. Once they entered, Tzuna was greeted by her daughter. Tsunami father, what took you so long? She asked, bringing her hand to her hip as she waited for her father to reply. Oh, well, you see, I have to ask for some help. Tuna said as he pointed at the ninjas behind him. After a couple of minutes, the Jennins were at the living room resting or talking. How do you think Naruto is doing? Hinata asked her teammate. He'll be fine. Plus, Karinai Sensei is with him. Remember, Ka said as he made sure that Hinata won't get worried too much. I guess you're right, Argato. Kaakun, Hinata said, letting the [ __ ] slip from her mouth. She noticed Ka looked away as he waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing with flushed pink cheeks." Meanwhile, at the front porch of Tsunami's house, Kakashi and Zabusa with Haku were there talking mostly about Shinobi stuff and their mission, but their topic suddenly changed by. Zabusa, your brother, what's his name? Zabusa said, Narut Uzumaki Nar. Kakashi said he's quite interesting if you asked me. Zabusa said Kakashi cocked an eyebrow and left the porch. Kakashi was soon followed by Zabusa with Haku in tow. At the same moment in the guest room, Karinai was watching Nar sleep on his futon. Nar hadn't showed any interest in waking up for quite some time now in his watchers's opinion. A minute had passed. Karinai noticed Naruto's breathing was becoming ragged and his chest was rising rather high. Nar Karinai said in panic. She suddenly noticed Naruto's eyes were opening slowly. Nar slowly sat up and saw his sensei with an expression he hadn't seen before. It was a mix of sadness, hurt, happiness, and shock. The next thing he knew, he was caught off guard as Karinai pulled him into a hug. "What were you thinking? You had me worried so much." Nar heard Karinai say, "I am sorry," Narut said as he returned the hug back. "Is she crying?" She is. Oh god, what did I do? Karina Chan, please don't cry, Narut said. Unknown to him, he let out the chon in Karinai's name. At the same time, Kakashi, Zabusa, and Haku were watching the couple's lovely session as to what Kakashi had named it. This is quite interesting, don't you think, Zabusa? Kakashi said with a smirk under his face mask, letting Nar and Karinai know their presence. The moment they heard Kakashi's voice, they let go of each other. Karinai sat up and looked down at the floor, wishing to get sucked by the earth. She hated when Kakashi gets to his teasing mode. Zabusa grinned at the event he had witnessed. He looked at Kakashi and said, "Yeah, very interesting indeed," Zabusa said, putting a stress mark on every word. "How are you feeling?" Narutkuin Haku asked behind her mask. "I feel fine. Who are you anyway? Nar asked. My name is Haku. I'm Zabusa's sister. Haku said as she revealed her smiling face to the young blonde. What? Nar said almost shouted. You don't even look close to him. I don't see any family resemblance between the both of you. Nar said rather loudly. That made the man called Zabusa twitch his eyebrow rather at a fast speed. Baka. I adopted Haku back when she was still a child. Zabusa said, "Oh, that's probably the reason why she wouldn't look close to you. She's too pretty to be your sister." Nar said as she tried to stand up with success. By the time he was on his feet, Nar noticed Zabus's twitching eyebrow, but he didn't notice Haku's flush cheeks. After a couple of hours, Narut found himself in front of the dining table with everybody else. Naruto sighed not really knowing why. What are you sighing about kit? Q.Bi asked to his jailer. It's nothing for ball. I just missed the ramen back at Kohaa. Nar replied. The ramen or the ramen girl? What was her name? I Q. said with a grin on his face. I am. It's not her. It's<unk> the ramen. Okay. That I assure you. Nar replied. Who looks? Who's acting guilty? Huie said with a chuckle. You for ball. I am not acting guilty. Nar said in defense or maybe it's those purple-haired Kunahesus. I can't blame you. They're quite beautiful. If you asked me, QB stopped and took a look at his jailer who had a blank look on his face. It's not them. It's the ramen. Okay. Ramen as an Rme and Ramen. Nar said, "Write blame it all to the cup of noodles." Q.B. stopped while his jailer side in his mind and in the real world as well. Okay, so what about you and your Karina Chan? Q.B. added making the real Nar to become red if not redder. Ha, it is her. I knew it. I knew it. Q.B. singed inside. Naruto's mind singing something with the only lyrics as I knew it. I knew it. Unknown to Nar, some people in the dining area were starting to get worried to the young blonde. Nar hadn't touched his food for quite a while now. Nar Karinai patted his shoulder. She could see him red flush red. In her mind, she was wondering what was happening to him. After 5 seconds, Narut looked up and saw his sensei looking at him. "Yes, sensei." Nar asked with innocent eyes. Karinai sideighed. Atudo, are you feeling well? You haven't touched your food, Kakashi said in behind. I'm fine. I was just thinking about something, Nikon, Narut said as he picked up his spoon and started to eat his porridge. After an hour or so, Tzuna decided to go to the market to buy some groceries since they were running short in their stocks. Tzuna told Kakashi that he will be out for some groceries with Narut to stretch his muscles as what the old man suggested currently with Nar and Tzuna. Tzuna stopped and looked at the ninja before him. Nar had this questioning look on his face that said, "What are you thinking old man kind of look?" Tuna held out his gross relist and a few bills from his wallet and gave it to Nar. Buy them. I'll just watch you. Tzuna said, "What?" Nar said, but reluctantly, he just took both items from Tzuna. Nar looked at the list that contained three pcs of radish, 5 pcs of eggs, 2 kilos of meat, pork, and fish, 1 kilo of tofu, 1 kilo of shrimp, two packs of nori. Onto Zunaan, I don't think these 1500. Rios is enough for all of these. Nar said as he was pushed and semi-dragged to their first stop, the vegetable shop. Nar looked at the person guarding the store. He noticed that it was a girl, probably Haku's age, was looking at him as well. The girl wasn't glaring at him, just like the villagers do when he was going by stuff for his apartment. This was different. It has something in it that Nar couldn't put his finger in it. Naruto was about to ask the price for the radish when someone interfered. two samuris that had similar clothing with the ones who had attacked yesterday came. The sound of sword clashing with the air brought Naruto's polite face down to something else. Nar told to stay beside the girl behind her shop. Nar loosened his stance. Everybody saw Bols Naruto's feet bouncing and his face was neutral, not giving any emotions to his opponent. What are you trying to do? Mock us to death? the bald samurai said. The said bald samurai was readying himself as well. He ordered his comrade to do it as well, but he was too dumbfounded when his comrades katana was gone. This is quite a beautiful sword if you asked me. The bald samurai looked at the owner of the voice which belonged to the blonde boy who took a kenjutsu stance as well. Um, can we do this fast? I have to buy these groceries. Any? Narut said in his natural tone. Silence filled the marketplace. Everybody was looking at them. And to the blonde boy who had managed to snag the opponent's katana. They all had the same thoughts running in their minds like the bald samurai. How the heck did he do that? Take him out. The other enemy samurai said. It rang to the bald samurai's mind like a big boom. He attacked Narut fast, but he noticed that he just slashed the air as if the said blonde boy wasn't there. On top of you, the bald samurai's comrade shouted. But before the bald samurai could look, he already felt the earth on his face and a slight lump on the back of his head. "What the!" he managed to say before passing out. As for the other enemy samurai, Nar threw back his sword, making the samurai fall backwards. He immediately got up and carried his comrade away from the blonde dangerous boy as he had commented in his mind. Once Nar saw that the enemies were gone, he turned back to his polite facade to Tzuna and to the storekeeper who had, by the way, hearts on her eyes just like the other storekeepers. After a couple of minutes, both Tzuna and Nar went back to Tzuna's house with two fully loaded grocery bags in each arm. By the time they entered the house, they were greeted with questioning looks on their faces. Where's the feast to Zunisan? Kakashi asked. You didn't spend all the money, didn't you, father? Tsunami said as she looked at the grocery bags. Oh, these it's um how shall I say this? I got a lot of discounts today. He tsunami said discount. Since when do those ladies ever give you a discount? Tsunami asked, eyeing her father. At this point, everybody was in the kitchen hearing their conversation. Oh, Narut did it actually, Tsunami said, making Nar scratch the back of his head. "Your brother is quite lucky with the females, if I may add," Tunami said to Kakashi rather loudly. That made everyone in the room look at the blonde who fighting not to blush at the moment. "How did you do it?" Ka asked. "Do what?" Nar said, still not getting what was the main topic. You've managed to get really rare high discounts. How did you do it? Tsunami asked. I guess I just walked up to the storekeeper and asked, "How much does it cost?" Nar said, "Right." Ka said, "Did they ask you something?" Tsunami asked, "Actually, they did. They asked me if I was a relative of yours." But then Tsunami said, "I was a visiting relative of yours. Do you believe that?" But then some were asking for my name, age, where I live. But they got disappointed with the age though. But then again, they asked me if I was interested in older women. Naro said, "So what was your answer?" Haku asked. Uh Narut said as he was in a thinking position. My answer was I don't know since I really don't know what they were talking about. He he all had the same expression with the ones at the market. Naro said. Kakashi laughed and caught Narut by the neck brushing his hair in the process. Come on, you and your teammates will train with us today. Kakashi said, "Outside to Tsunami's house, there stood team seven and eight along with Sabuza and Haku." All of the Jennins sat at the ground while the others were different. Kakashi was explaining to the Jennins something about tree climbing and chakra control until someone was yawning. Kakashi looked who was disturbing his class only to find Nar yawning and covering his mouth as he yawned. Nar. Kakashi yelled and took out a canai and threw it to the said blonde who managed to catch it attentively. Go and climb that tree without using your hands. Now Sasuke smirked at this. You're not so great now. Are you do? Sasuke thought. Nar got to his feet and went to the said tree. He crouched a little bringing both of his feet part. He formed a tiger seal and started to store enough chakra to his feet. Once he had enough chakra, he started to run up to the tree and then he began to walk up to reach to the top. He could see everybody from the top. He back flipped and caught a branch and another branch until he reached the lower part of the tree, the ground. Most of the jennins were telling him, "How did you do that?" And that was amazing. Something like that. Naruto threw back the canai to Kakashi who caught it easily. Meanwhile, Sakura could swear her crush was glaring at Nar. He's been acting weird since yesterday. Sakura thought her revery was cut off when Kakashi patted her at the back. Behind him was Hinata and Haku. You're going with him. Practice your tree climbing at that side. Kakashi said as he pointed at the other side of the clearing, namely the right side of the training ground. On the left side were the boys, while at the right were the girls. At the girls side, Haku was the first one to finish the exercise, followed by Hinata and Sakura at the same time. At the boy side, Nar was the first since he had done it in front of their eyes. Ka and Shino was next to finish. Narut had offered Sasuke help, but the Acha soul survivor refused it quite arrogantly. Instead, Sasuke challenged Nar to a fight. "Fight me," Sasuke said. Nar looked at Sasuke as if he'd gone crazy. "Ha," he said. I said, "Fight me, Uzumaki." Narut Sasuke said as he pulled out his fumurin. Kakashi and Karinai were about to stop the upcoming fight between their students, but Zabusa stopped them and said, "Don't I want to see what Narutkun will do about this mess?" Zabusa said reluctantly. Both Jouan stood their ground and watched at their students. "No, I won't fight you. You're not my enemy, Sasuke." Narut said in the calm tone. Sasuke could see Naruto's calm features, but to him, it has a different story in it. "How dare he act all calm on me? Is he making fun of me? I and a chia Sasuke thought. Sasuke didn't reply any further. He just attacked at Nar with his fumurkin in hand. Nar quickly sidestepped away from Sasuke who already gained his posture from his recent attack. What did I do now? Nar thought as he blocked the upcoming projectile that was targeted at his head. Sasuke, stop at this instant. Nar raised his voice, but it only fell to deaf ears. Soon Narut saw a familiar set of hand seals. Nar quickly formed his own set. When Sasuke shouted, "Katan Gaku no jutsu" and let out a large ball like flames through his mouth. Nar did the same. Only he called out was katan Ryoka no jutsu totally covered the grand fireball by a large flame dragon. Once the flames were out, Nar stopped to observe Sasuke. The said achia prodigy was forming another set of hand seals, but Kakashi was already they're stopping the fight much to Zabaz's dismay. "That's enough, Sasuke." Kakashi said as he held Sasuke's arm. Sasuke glared at his sensei with his newly formed sharing gun that had two kamazan each eye. Then he walked back to Tzuna's house, followed by Sakura behind. Narut looked at Sasuke's retreating back. His eyes tell everything, but what was it trying to tell? Nar thought. His train of thoughts was suddenly cut off when Ka was shaking the hell out of him. That was amazing, Nar. You beat the hell out of that bastard. Ka said as he continued to shake his blonde friend, Kaan. I think Naran had enough with your shakes. Shino said, making Ka stop with wide eyes as well as Nar who had gotten away from Ka's grip. He too stared at the young Abberane with wide eyes. Shino on the other hand raised his eyebrow. "Have you realized that you let out a couple of words with numerous syllables in it?" Nar said still disbelieving. "Thank you for the observation," Naruto said. Shino said, "There it goes again." Nar said, "Honestly, Shino, why not talk a lot?" Ka asked. This caused everybody's attention to them since they know that Shino doesn't talk much. I simply talk when it's needed, Shino said. Right. Narut and Ka. Everybody's attention altered when they heard someone was calling out for them. Dinner's ready. Tsunami shouted. Once they entered the dining area, they saw Sunna's seated at the middle while the one next to him was new to the group size. They all saw Sasuke and Sakura entered the room. The one next to Tsuna's glared at the ninjas. It matches with Yugahai's she's glare and Hinata's opinion. Why bother helping us? You all will end up dead anyway. The boy said Narut had too much of arrogance in one day. Let's just say Narut snapped. The one who was seated next to Tsuna's was no longer seated in his chair, but rather he was raised against the wall through the collar by Narut. We ending up dead. Yes, sure. But at least we died with a fight unlike you who would probably cry and do nothing. Nar said before him was a boy trying not to cry. Once Nar let go the boy. The said boy cried away running back to his own room. I lost my appetite. I am sorry about the commotion. Nar said walking away. I'm sorry about Inari. Tsunami said. Is he always like that? Karina asked. Tsunami shook her head. No, he was a cheerful boy but when his father died. Tsunami looked down, not wanting to remember some unwanted memories. Sunna looked at his daughter with remorse in his eyes. He knew her husband's death hadn't stopped, plaguing her and her son's memories. Dinner went with an eerie silence. The only thing that can be heard was the steam being produced by the rice cooker. After dinner, Tsunami decided to take Inari's meal to his room. Meanwhile, Kakashi separated the group once again, the girls at the right and the boys at the left. He told them to sleep early since in the next day, Tuna will have to go to the construction site where the bridge is being built. Later that evening, Kakashi, Karinai, and Zabuza with Haku planned to take the night's watch, seeing as it wasn't safe for Tuna's family to be left unprotected even at their sleep. Kakashi and Zabuza were at the backyard while Karinai was at the front porch. Haku, on the other hand, was at the roof surveying the ones below. Karinai was leaning at the wall at the front porch. She had been guarding there for almost 15 minutes now. She thought that she had heard some footsteps from the inside until the sound became more defined. Did somebody come in unnoticed? Karina thought. She formed a series of hand seals and whispered a jutzu that made her invisible. Once Karinai managed to come inside, she concealed her chakra as low as possible. By the time she saw the source of the noise, she stopped walking. She noticed a familiar voice talking with itself. Karinai walked closely to see who was there. At this mere moment, says, "She always tells me to seek the underneath of the underneath. His eyes tell everything, but I can't still see it. What would you do if you were at my place? Hazen Sai? A voice said to no one in particular. Karinai took this moment to enter the scene. Have you tried harder? Karinai asked. This caused the owner of the voice to turn to see who was there behind him. Karinai sensei. Nar said. Can't sleep? Karinai asked. Narly shook his head in response. He saw her walk outside the front door. Soon he followed her. It was 2:00 in the early morning. At that time, cold air was present. It made the night chilly. Nar tucked out his jacket and placed it on Karinai, who was seating at the stairway of the front porch. Karinai, on the other hand, was caught off guard when Narut placed his jacket on her. She looked at him with a tint of pink on her face. When she remembered what she had done back at the guest room, she was now trying not to blush furiously. She was thankful that Naruto's jacket served as a cover from her blush. Took her at least 20 minutes to gather or to complete her speech. But when she was about to speak, she saw Nar asleep, leaning at the wooden rails face down. Karinai smiled at this. She gently placed Naruto's jacket on him as he continued with his slumber beside Karinai. Nami knows Zisho day two. Morning, breeze, calm, cool, and gentle. It flowed softly, making the leaves swirl in various directions. At the same moment, the sun chose to rise up and to make known its presence. Slowly, the cool breeze and the warmth coming from the sun coupled together, harmonizing, making a new feeling. The morning rays slowly crept its way to the residents eyes, making them awake. Some grunted sideigh while some shrugged. Meanwhile, outside to Zunai's door, a certain blonde gradually opened his eyes. He noticed that he had fallen asleep outside to Zunai's door. He saw his jacket on him as if someone had placed it while he was sleeping. He remembered he had placed it on Karinai. He can even smell a hint of her scent in his jacket. and Narut, did you sleep here outside to Zunai's house? Ka said as he walked to his blonde friend with Anata behind. Of course not. I just woke up early, that's all. Nar said, not really wanting to tell the truth, right? Tsunami san said that breakfast will be ready soon. When Nar heard the word breakfast, that was an audible grumble, audible enough for teammate to hear. Nar just scratched the back of his head while on his face was a sheepish grin on it. You shouldn't have skipped dinner last night, Narut. Anata said while Akamir barked in agreement. Come on, let's go in. I can already smell Tsunami Sans's cooking. Ha said as he placed his young pup on the floor. Soon the dining area was filled with people and dog for Aamir's case. Tzuna announced that he will be at the construction site after breakfast. Both leaf junins agreed to take Tzuna at the construction site with Zabuza. At this time, Haku won't be with Zabuza. Haku was ordered to stay here with the other Janons to guard and protect Tzuna's family just in case Gator decided to take them as hostages. Haku interrupted their plan and said, "Why not put Tsunami's family and the villagers in a secluded place? I'm sure once Gator decided to attack, he won't care about the casualties. The workers and the villagers will be at stake as well," Haku said. Once Haku was finished with her speech, a loud gong was heard. Tsunami knew what was that gong for. The ninjas looked at the bridge builder and asked what that was about. Tzuna looked at them with beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He had the same look back when he saw Karina's eyes. As Gator, he's at the construction site, Tzuna said. Meanwhile, at the said bridge site, Gator's men ranging from bandits, swordsmen, and nuconins were at the site caused the workers to flee out of fear. Once the workers were about to reach the end of the bridge, they all saw a group of ninjas with Suna and his family in tow. Both Leaf Jins and Miss Ninjas stayed to protect the bridge while the Jennins were ordered to place the villagers and the workers as well as Tsuna's family in a safe clearing. When Zabusa formed a familiar set of hand seals in Kakashi's opinion, Kakashi turned to Sasuke and Ka. Sasuke Ka both of you will be in charge of the villagers safety. Kakashi said and turned to Hinata. You will lead them to a safe place. Three Jennins nodded their heads. The Jennins ran with Hinata leading the way. It only took them at least 3 minutes to find a safe spot. They were contemplating whether some of them will have to go back to help their senses. Shino and Ka decided to stay to protect the others while Narut and Sasuke agreed to go back and help. Sakura was about to say that she wants to go with Nar and Sasuke, but Nar beat her up to it. Hinata should come with her. Bakugan can see through the myths abuse had made. Narugo said. Sakura was about to complain, but when she saw Sasuke's eyes turn into something different, she just nodded in response. Naruto saw Sasuke's eyes. There he saw the sharing gun. Sasuke had two commas on each eye. Ayano, we should hurry up to help back our senses. Hinata whispered loud enough for them to hear. Without thinking, they all run fast to the bridge where the fight had already begun. At the bridge, Kakashi with his chtoriai was attacking one of the nuconins. Zabuzu with his Kubakiri Ho was currently blocking the attacks of three swordsmen. Haku managed to kill most of the bandits with her. Maku Hayau, Karina with her, Kokoangio no jutsu. She managed to slay at least twoans with her jing jutsu. Zabuzu was about to say to Gata, "Give up." Until they all heard a vaguely loud thump that made the bridge quake. Now behind Gatada was a giant which everyone thought the jennine group that consists of Hi Hinata Aiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Narut came. They managed to see who their superiors opponent was. From their point of view that being was beyond enormous. He's taller than Gyan. Narut what the heck? Sasuke Hinata I like you all to meet Okaboo your doom. Gatada smiled and left with his attendant. He waved a farewell to the ninjas at the bridge as he escaped in his boat. Kakashi surveyed the one in front of him and his comrades. From what he can tell, this match will be different. Why left a single man to fight with us? Gatada only used those men a while ago to make us exhausted for this major fight. How could I not see it? Darn it, Kakashi thought. He looked at Zabuzu who was looking at him as well. Haku was looking at her Nikki. From what she could see, Zabuzu and Kakashi had a plan under their sleeves. Zabuzu tightened his grip on his Kabakiri Ho Cho while Kakashi formed a set of hand seals and held his right wrist. After a couple of seconds, a sound of creaking can be heard all over the place. Zabuzu looked at Kakashi who nodded in response. With a fast blur, Kakashi and Zabuzu attacked at the man before them. Kakashi on the top with his Kaidori while Zabuzu below with his Kabakiri Ho. Everybody would have thought that their attack would be a success, but on the contrary, it failed miserably. Okubo caught Kakashi by the arm while Zabuzu's attack was blocked only by Okubo's arm shield. What the? He should be cut in half, not like this. Zabuzu thought his revery was cut off when he and Kakashi got thrown to the wooden railings of the bridge, making them unconscious in the process. Haku ran for Zabuzu while Nar ran for Kakashi. Karinai was about to stop Naro, but Okubo moved in, giving Karinai a knee kick on her stomach. The force and pressure made her cough blood and flew back, but Okubo managed to catch her by the hair, making Karinai wse in pain. Hinata managed to shout out Karinai's name out of fear. Haku, Hinata, Sasuke were about to attack, but something was off. They couldn't move. Kubo looked at them with a sly smile on his face. Can't move. This technique is called Kaneshiri. No jutzu. Surprised. I see. Kubo said. Okubo saw the blonde boy glaring at him as if the said blonde was trying to pierce Okubo<unk>'s eyes. You care for this pitiful woman? Okubo smirked and looked at Karine eyes features with malice in his eyes as he licked the trickle of blood from her chin. This caused Nar to get even more enraged. Why won't you try and catch her then? Nar watched as Okubo raised. Karinai once again. Okubo clenched his fist and did something unforgivable in Naruto's opinion. Okubo punched Karinai at the stomach, making her fall off the bridge. Nar didn't have to think any other things. He ran after Karinai who was on the process of falling. He jumped down to raise forward to her body. Once he had held her safe, he changed their position so that he could break her fall since he knew that Kuba could heal him. Nar Karinai managed to stutter. She could see her surroundings were upside down. It was until now that she remembered what that that bastardo did to her. She noticed the position they were in. Oh no, if we reach the bottom, Naruto Kuan will receive the blow. Karinai thought as she tried to change it, but to no avail, Naruto was holding her tight. His eyes were closed as if waiting for the blow to occur. Back with Kakashi and Zabusa, they managed to recover back in time and saw Nar jumped down the bridge to catch Karinai. Kakashi noticed Haku, Hinata, and Sasuke immobilized from where they stood. He immediately countered the said jutzu, freeing the three of them. Zabusa took his chance to challenge Okubo in an all-out Kenjutsa match. While Kakashi made sure that the others were okay with Shino, Ka, and Sakura, they took notice that Inari was on top of a table shouting for attention. Tsunami was telling Inari to go down from there, but Inari was still shouting until he got everyone's fair attention. What's the matter with you? A villager asked. Inari just glared at the villager and said, "Listen up. Our friends are out there risking their lives just to save us. We should go there and help them." Inari shouted. "But what can we possibly do?" Another villager asked. We fight with all we've got. Inari said he could some villagers murmuring about something. Tzuna was about to say something when a villager yelled, "Let's show them what we've got." Soon, there were people walking to the bridge. They could see Zabusa fighting with an enormous enemy even bigger than Zabusa. In the meantime, Karinai was in panic. Panic for her life and panic for Nar. He hadn't responded in all of her callings. Karinai could see the water below them clearly, but something was off. They stopped just before they could hit the water. She could hear Nar panting, and above all, she could see a pair of black wings and Naruto's back. Karina sensei, how are you feeling? Nar asked as he shifted their position. They were floating above the water. Karinai hadn't answered yet. She was still looking at his black wings. I take it that you're all right. she heard him say. Soon they were flying up to the bridge. Once they got there, they both saw Zabusa being thrown to the wooden railings again. Kakashi noticed Naruto's and Karina's presence, but his line of sight was focused to Naruto, who had a pair of black wings on his back. Okibbo noticed the blonde boy and the woman he abused a while ago. He took this opportunity to charge at them. He tightened his grip on both of his ax. Kakashi noticed this. He was about to warn Narut and Karinai until what the Kibbo said. In front of him was the said blonde and the woman only they were covered by the blonde boy's wings. Okibo moved back and saw the wings were slowly revealing Nar with Karinai. Nar walked to Okibbo who stepped back for every step Nar did you. Okibbo heard Nar say. Nar took another step. By the time his ankle reached the ground, he vanished in thin air. Okibbo was frankly looking everywhere. The only thing that he did see was a flash of yellow and black. Everybody saw Narut spun vertically. Narut managed to kick Okibbo at the jaw two times as he spun. Okibbo immediately collected himself. He saw Nar forming a set of hand seals and shouted, "Right ton shere no jatsu lightning release. Lightning strike technique." The moment the technique was released, Okibbo could see a dragon-shaped lightning coming his way. Unfortunately for Okibbo, the technique closes its target for a sure kill. As a result, Okibbo lay lifeless on the floor while Narudo fell to his knees unconscious as his wings dissipated as well. At the very same moment, the villagers and other leaf ninjas came. They managed to witness how Narut defeated the man before him, Okibbo. After the bridge incident, the villagers decided to name the bridge as the Narut great bridge much to Inari's perseverance. Nabankari aftermath noon outside Kenoha hospital stood three people. The first one carried flowers in her arms. The second one carried plastic bags with bento boxes in it. The third one carried an orange book in his hand. Once they walked inside the said hospital, they went straight to the nurses counter to ask for their friend brother's room number. After a couple of minutes, they were at the third floor corridor. Of all the strange things that they had seen in their entire life was different from this one. Before them was Kanahakuno's sad sandame Hokag Saruti listening eavesdropping intently behind Uzumaki Naruto's door. Hokag sama, what are you doing? Sandame heard a woman's voice say. By the time Sandame turned, he saw Hitaki Kakashi, Yuzuki Yuyugo, and Midarashi Enko looking at him with a questioning look on their faces. But before he could answer, Naruto's door swung open, revealing Yui Karinai. She looked at the newcomers with a surprise shocked expression on her face. "Amma Naruto Kun's awake now," Karinai said with her statement. Both purple-haired. Kunoichis and the Saname Hokag walked inside the room, leaving Karinai with Kakashi and the closed door. Kakashi looked at Karinai as if the said capin was trying to read Karinai's eyes. From his opinion, there was something evident in those wine red eyes. Maybe that was the reason why the Hokag was listening behind Naruto's door. Were you been crying? Kakashi asked. Karinai looked shocked as she faced the floor. Of course not. What are you trying to say? Karinai asked. Nothing. Kakashi paused. Tell me. Do you like my otudo? Kakashi asked as he stared at the ceiling. Uh, what? I was thinking of the possible answers as why were you crying? I had three answers. First, Naruto's health became critical. Second, you were so worried for Naruto Coon's life just like back at Tzuna's house. While the third one was, you're afraid that Narut will never come back to you ever again because you like him. But I doubt the first one as we can see a while ago that Narut is okay. So now I am dropped to my second and third answer. So we're back to my original question again. Do you like my otudo? Kakashi said like it was a daily basis. Karinai was shrinking fast. Whether it was by embarrassment or something else, she looked at the floor once again. How come I can't answer this lame question? Is it really lame? You did cry a while ago. In her Karina, I said 1 hour before in room 308, white sheets were slowly shifting. The person beside the one on the bed had a worried look on her face. Her wine red eyes had a sore look in it, making it puffy. The one on the bed was slowly turning and shifting on his bed. The one beside him could hear some murmuring sounds that she couldn't comprehend. On her seat, she saw the one she was watching. Slowly sat up looking at her as she looked at him as well. The next thing this watcher knew. Her eyes started to water up as she pulled the one on the bed into a hug. Karinai sensei, "What's wrong?" The one on the bed asked as he returned the hug. While this watcher was crying, she too was asking herself why she was crying. She gently pulled apart and said, "I am sorry. I think I'll go outside for a while." Karinai said quickly as she moved to the door. It only revealed Anko, Yagugo, Kakashi, and the Hokag. Present time. Karinai side. Of all the times her inner self had to show up. Why her? What are you saying, Kakashi? Karinai whispered still looking at the floor. Kakashi smiled. Piece of advice. tried to sort out your feelings before moving into action. Karinai looked at Kakashi as he opened Naruto's door, leaving her behind. "Niss, did you bring any of my clothes?" Nar asked, "Why bother? Have you looked at yourself on the mirror?" Kakashi said, "What are you stating that it became fat?" Nar asked, which caused Sandame to chuckle? "No, from what I can remember, you were just around 4t high, but now you're almost as tall as she." No, if not, maybe even taller than him. Kakashi said, "You're kidding me, right? How can I become that?" Ta. Nar stopped as he saw himself on the mirror with wide eyes. "I think I'll go to the bathroom," Narut said. Meanwhile, inside the bathroom, Nar was mentally talking with Kooie. "Hey, kid. What's up?" Kooie asked as his JLo was practically racing inside the bathroom. "What do you mean?" "What's up? What did you do to me? Naruto asked. Oh, that I just messed with your height and etc. That's all. I have to admit that Aiko lady did pull a lot of strings around you. Kubi said like it was a normal thing to say. Unfortunately for Narut, he had the urge to faint or to scream. Now, fainting would not be a good idea. Same with screaming as well. After a couple of minutes, he walked back to his room where a nurse came in with a paper bag in hand and a bouquet of flowers. on the other hand. You must be using Maki Narut. A package from the counter was delivered a while ago. And here's the note, the nurse said as she was um checking up on the said patients well toned body and Anko's opinion came with the clothes and flowers as well. The nurse added soon she left the patients room for another duty. The moment the word clothes came out from the nurse's lips, all of the visitors were looking at each other that meant that was strange. They all took notice that Nar was smiling as he saw the note. Both Kakashi and Enko got curious who could possibly give Nar a new set of clothes and a bouquet of red flowers. At the same time, they both took the card from Nar, but when they were about to read it, they were thinking the same thing. A blank note. What? Nar asked with a smirk on his face. Is this some kind of a trick and Nar? Enko asked. Give me that. Kakashi said as he activated his sharing gun to see if there was any. Jen juts a place on the note. But he didn't found one. There's a Jen juts a place on that note. Nar said, "How did you know? I didn't even detect it with my sharing gun." Kakashi said. Nar chuckled while Anko raised an eyebrow, waiting for an answer. How shall I say this? It's a complicated genut. So all you have to do is to drop a part of the original receivers's blood of that note. Nar said in a matterof fact kind of way. Yigugo was watching this obviously intrigued while Sandame was left sitting on his chair. Nar was at the front. Enko was about to slice the part of Naruto's skin. But Kakashi and Yugo stopped the tokabetu jaanin before her kaya was about to scratch the blonde skin. What Narutkun said? In order to dispel that jing jutsu, it need Naruto's blood. Enko said it needs a droplet, not a cup of blood. Yugo said, but before everyone started to rumble again. Sandame made his presence known again. Ahem Naruto, I'm sure they won't mind if you show them that note later. Sarobi said, but then continued. There's something I want to see. That is if you want Ankochan and Yugo Chan to see it as well. Kakashi knew what was the Hokag was talking about. Probably that was his main reason why Sandame was here aside from visiting Nar. Nar looked at Kakashi who nodded in response. Narut sighed and then he took off his shirt. Unknown to him, he got the women's attention. Through the way Naruto's body moved, making his newly formed six-packs, courtesy of Aika's training moved slowly. He turned his back, revealing his black wings to everybody else. Naruto turned around again to face everyone this time. Nobody had noticed his progress because of his baggy jumpsuit. So the ones before him were either speechless or surprised. Tell me something that I don't know. Sandamei, how did I get these wings? Nar asked. Size Narut, those wings came from your mother's bloodline. It isn't their only lineage to have wings. Unfortunately, her family and clan were slowly vanishing from existence even before the cube tacted. For now, you are the only one who has that unique bloodline limit. I'm sorry to tell, but I don't know any way to develop your to your attention, Sabasa. Wings of the dark angel. It's what your mother's family calls it, but there's someone that I know who can hopefully, Saratobi said, which earned him a smile from Narut. Ayano sandame do you know who are my parents? Narut said your mother's name is Yakumo Mizuo she died giving birth to you. I'm sorry I can't tell you everything for now. I hope you can understand. Naruto Kuwin Saratobi said looking at the blonde. Nar gave a small smile and said it's better than nothing right. Besides I'm sure you'll tell me everything that I need to know when the time comes. One more thing. Am I allowed to use these wings in the public size? Narut asked. Seeing that you've activated it in front of your fellow leaf needs, why not? Besides, rumors fly faster than Haku. Sandame said with a grin, Narut, on the other hand, gave the old man one of his famous fox grins. Can we please read that note? Enko said, breaking the moment. Saratobi had a visible sweat drop at the back of his head. He just sighed and muttered something about a childish woman. The moment Nar let a droplet of his blood sink into the paper, the red stain became the note sink. Before them was the notes message for them. It was kind of written in a different language, but Naruto said it was a form of secret messaging. And all you have to do was to place the note in front of a mirror. The reflection in the mirror revealed the notes. message that said, "Hey, they're gy. Sorry, I can't deliver the clothes myself, but rest assured that I'll be back in the village just like what I've promised you before. Your clothes should fit you well, and thank the canvas that you won't be wearing those horrid flashy orange jumpsuits of yours. The color is making me want to burn them with a kadon jatsu. Seriously, you'll see me when you'll see me, your sensei, Aayika." Nar smiled as he read the note. Aika sensei hadn't forgotten her humor. He thought he let the note beside the flowers and picked up the new set of clothes Aika had given him. After a couple of minutes, everybody saw a new Nar who was clad in beige pants and red long-sleeved shirt that was hugging his broad shoulders fairly while his hit height was tied at his forehead. This new Nar now looked more advanced than the ones in his age group. He no longer had his puppy fats. He grew some of his hair and most of all he looked like a spitting image of his father. Is there something on my face? Nar asked. Ladies, please stop drooling over my little brother. Kakashi said. Saruti chuckled. I think I'll go sign your discharge papers. Would you rather come with me, Narutan? Sandame said. Hi, Ajizen. Nar said as he quickly took the bouquet of red flowers in his arms. He was the one who was practically close to the door. By the time he opened the said door, it revealed Karina leaning on the said door. Due to the law of physics, what comes up must come down, right? In a swift moment, Naruto caught Karina, one arm at the neck and the other was at her waist, hugging her with the bouquet of red flowers in the process. Karina was only supported by Naruto's arms and both of her legs. Unfortunately slashfortunately, Karina slipped, making Naruto's lips fall down to Karina's. I told you what comes up must come down. While Nar, "I didn't know you had it in you," Enko said with her statement. Narut and Karina pulled away fast, both blushing. Nar was looking at the ceiling then to the window with flush cheeks. "By the way," while Karina was looking at her trusty floor with red cheeks like how many times had I looked at the floor? she asked herself. Saratobi chuckled again, but this time it was louder than before. Haha. What would Guyson say if he saw this? Sandame said, "He'll burst out talking something about the flames of youth is burning within you." Anko said as she made a good guy pose. After the good 5 minutes of laughter, they started walking to the lobby of the hospital. In the front were Sandame and Narut who was carrying a bouquet of red flowers which gave him looks from the nurses in the hallways. At the back were Kakashi who was back to reading his orange book and Karina who was back looking at the floor. In front of them were Anko and Yuigo who were looking at the blonde in front of them. Chunan exam team 8 consisting of Hugah Hinatada Inuzuka Kiba and Uzumaki Narut were currently walking at the main streets of Kenoha. Two Jennins were looking at their teammate who apparently hadn't spoken or reacted to any of their discussions. He had been quiet ever since they've walked out his favorite ramen shop. This sucks. The Jennon with a fury jacket spoke. He looked at his teammate Narut. Yet again, he hadn't reacted. Narudo, are you okay? You look like you've eaten an expired ramen. Ka added, "Yes, Nar, what is wrong?" Hinata asked, "I'm fine. I was just thinking about something, Narut replied. Truth be told, he hadn't seen or heard his Jon and sensei for almost three three days straight since Sanden gave. Team seven and 8 of 3 days rest after their mission back at Wave Country. If you say so, come on. We don't want to be late at our meeting. With that statement, Hiba and Hinata sprinted up to the roofs. Nar, on the other hand, was left standing on his place. He hadn't moved or something. Was he nervous? Was it because after 3 days he'll be able to see his J and sensei? Or was it he's nervous because of what had happened 3 days ago back at the hospital? After 5 seconds, it only registered to his mind that both of his teammates were gone. He immediately ran up to the roofs. An hour ago at the Hokag Tower, people ranging from tokabu jains, elite jains, jains and tunins were gathered at the hokag's office. All jouan instructors please come in front. The sandon said soon three Jonins walked at the front namely Hitaki Kakashi, Saratobia Suma and Yuhikarinai. Now among of your teams who will gladly partake in the coming chewin exam sand asked. Yuhikarina Suma first spoke since he's at the far left of the three Jonins. I would like to enter team 10 which consists of Akimichi Chuji Narash Shakamaru and Yamaka under the name of Saratobia Suma. The chain smoker said seeing it was Karina's turn she spoke. Team 8 consists of Huda Hinata Inizuka Kiba and Uzumaki Narut under the name of Yuikarinai. The Genjits Amistra said direct to the point as always. Soon Kakashi spoke. Team 7 consists of Aram Shino. Haruno Sakura and Achi House ask under the name of Hitaki Kakashi. Kinoi's capin said very well then you're all dismissed. Sandin said once all the said ninjas were gone, a figure came out from the shadows. Hey there, old goat. Long time no see. The figure said, "Uh, Aika, a pleasure to see you again. Have you been hiding all along behind your Genjits?" "Hey," Sanden said. Yes, I was. "Are you going to stay here in the village permanently?" The Okag asked. Shem not sure. Would you like me to reinstate you as a leaf ninja? He said, acting like she was deep in thought and said, "Okay." Sandon smiled, but then frowned. What rank shall I give you? You're practically Kagel level. You could easily take my job without a sweat. Sandin said with a grin. You're flattering me, old goat. Just put me in ambu and I'll be fine. Aika said, "Are you going to see Nudakan?" Sandin said. "Nah, not yet." Aika said as she poofed away from the Hokag's office, leaving the old goat back to his undying paperwork. Present time at training ground 19. Narudakan panting. He looked around at the said training ground only to find himself alone. None of his teammates were there or were there. He heard a poof from behind. Immediately he turned around. There before him was his Jon and sensei Yuhikiri. Meanwhile, at the top of a certain tree. Ha and Hinata were there. In front of them was Kakashi who was looking at the people. Below them, Kakashi said, "What are you doing? And why did you pull us up here?" KBA asked. Keep your voice down. I can't hear them. Kakashi said. Ka was counting mentally whether if he should whack this man before him, but then again, he just shrugged it off. Meanwhile, two people at the clearing hadn't spoken with each other. No one even took an initiative for a conversation until fate destined them to be. On top of them, they could see the heavens were starting to rain. They both seek shelter at a certain tree. Narudakan was thankful. His wings were really handy at times like this. From where they stood, Narudakan's wings gave warmth to the said woman next to him as the rain started to fall freely at the earth below. Ayano sensei, I'm sorry about you know what happened back at the hospital 3 days ago. Narudakan said more like a whisper in Karinai's opinion. Sorry, Karinai thought. It's all right. I know it was an accident. Karinai said as she looked at the blonde next to her from what she saw. Narudakan was looking down as if he hadn't heard that he was already forgiven. Narudakan called, "Hi, sensei." Narudakan said as he looked at Karinai. "I'm sorry for not acting like a sensei like I'm supposed to be." Karinai said. Narudakan on the other hand looked at her with wide eyes. "What's to say sorry for?" Narudakan asked with a grin. Narudakan, you know what I'm talking about. Let's take for example back at Wave Country. Was I any help to any of you? Karina asked. You were there beside me, Sensei. You're the first and last person I've seen through those times. And every time I open my eyes, you were there. Karinai Sensei, that was a great help for me. Narudakan said as he looked at the heavens above. Karinai was smiling as she looked at the young blonde next to her. Thank you, Nudakan, she said. Narudakan gave her one of his famous fox grins and then looked at the heavens above. Looked the rains gone, he said. They both looked up and saw a rainbow starting to form. It mixed with the sunlight as it shined after the rain. It was a beautiful scene. They both admitted it. It only took them at least 5 minutes to enjoy the scenery just when they heard a very loud crack from above. Immediately they both moved away from the falling debris in people. Before them were Hitaki Kakashi, Huga Hinata and Inuzuka Ka. What the heck happened to the three of you? Narudakan asked. We Amma Kiba started. We were trying our stealth skills but unfortunately we fail miserably. Anata finished. Both Narudakan and Karina looked at them then to Kakashi obviously wanting an answer as well. There was this crow and it was picking on my hit tie. it and I tried to follow it. You see, Kakashi said, "Right," Narudakan said. "Aren't you supposed to be with your students?" Karinai asked. "Right, you are. I'm going now." Kakashi said as he proved away from them. Naruto just sighed and shook his head. Sensei, what are we going to do today? Do we have a mission? Ka asked, changing the topic. "No missions. I have something for the three of you," Karinai said as she brought out. three pieces of paper which turned out to be a chewing exam permit. There's an upcoming chewin exam. I've entered the three of you so don't lose that permit. Gatada Karinai said yes ma'am. Ka said while Narudakan did the good guy pose. Hinata and Karinai smiled at the comical pair. Let's go to a Karakus to celebrate. Narudakan said, which earned him a nod from Ka, a chuckle from Hinata, a bark from Akamiro, and a smile from Karinai. They're halfway to the said ramen stand, they heard a familiar shout from the corner of a street just near to their spot. I'll let go of me, a young boy's voice cried out. If you say so, a male teenager's voice said. teammate managed to saw this guy through the boy. Kahamaru near the trash can, but someone came just to catch the boy in time. Kahamaru looked up and saw his savior. Narudakan, I'll ask you nicely. Apologize to my friend. Narudakan said as he sat down, Kahamaru. Oh yeah, what if I don't? The boy with a face paint said just before Narudakan spoke. Everyone heard a sound of swirling sand just above the tree. Kangaro apologized to them. A voice rang out. The said boy, Kangkaro looked frantic. He just sighed and apologized to Kanahamaru and to Narudakan. Who are you? The boy with red hair asked. Both of his companions looked with wide eyes. Gara never asked someone's name before. The blonde Konochi thought. Dara, what are you doing? Kangkaro thought. Narudakan. Who's a Maki Naruto? And you are? Naruto said as he took a couple of steps in front of them. Sabakanagura, I'll be expecting you in the Chunan exam. Who's a Maki Naruto? Gara said. Both Sans siblings swore they saw Gar<unk>'s lips form a small smile, but it quickly faded away. They saw this Naruto walk to them, waiting for their names to be said. Sabakunogaro, Gara<unk>'s older brother. Cankuro said, Sabakunog Tamari. The blond-haired Kenoti said. She saw the blonde boy bowed his courtesy and said, "Nice to meet you all." Garasan, Kankarro, Sanin, Tamarisan, Naruto said as he smiled to them. Kangaro, on the other hand, could swear his sister was blushing at the said blonde boy who was before them. He looked at his sister Tamari, then to Naruto, who was back with his teammates in Jan and Sensei, not even noticing Tamari stare at the blonde boy. Kangaro smiled and held her big sister over the shoulder. Love at first sight at Tamari. Kangkaro whispered. Gara on the other hand was back from being stoic as he watched the blondes retreating back. There was something inside of him that he felt something feral just like him. He had thought, "Hey, Kit, that boy Gara, I feel something in him. It's the same feeling when we first saw that girl Haku." Q. said through their mental link. "Yummy too. It's like he's carrying something something demonic. Naruto replied as they continued to walk past the streets. Piece of advice. Keep your guard up. Q.B. said. Yeah, I'll do that. I have to go now. Naruto said as he cut the mental link. The next day, it was early in the morning. Many Chun and hopefuls reached the gates of Kenoha. Some came from the hidden village of the rain, sand, and sound. Team 8 noticed a couple of familiar participants just around the hallways. They too were looking at the other gen and teams. Naruto noticed the sand means they've met yesterday. Hey, where are you going? Ka asked. I'll just greet a couple of people. Narugo said team 8 including Karinai saw where was Naruto going to the sand siblings. Tamari saw the blonde boy they've met yesterday. He was walking at their direction. Canaro noticed where was Tamari looking. He just remained calm and waited what could happen next. Good morning. Naruto greeted with a smile on his face. The only ones who greeted him were Canaro and Tamari. Gara apparently was quiet behind the other two siblings along with Baky. The sand means Jon and instructor. Tamari saw Naruto walked up to her, his face closing to hers. Now everybody's attention was drawn to them. They could see Naruto's face coming closer and closer to this blushing blonde kunahichi. Most of the people were anticipating out what could happen next. Will he kiss her in front of everybody else? Even Gar and Baky were watching. Not to mention the other members of team 8 with their Jonin instructor Yuarinai were also watching. By this point, Tamari could be seen as red as a tomato. She was looking at the blond cerulean eyes. his face closing every second of the time for inches, 3 in, 2 in until you have dango sauce on your chin," Naruto said as he pointed out the said dango sauce with his index finger. After a couple of minutes, the sound of nothingness could be heard. Everybody was too coped up whether this blonde boy was going to kiss this other blonde girl, but then he just said, "There's dango sauce on your chin." and left the blonde girl to her feet. Some people were looking at the blonde boy and then to the girl. The blonde boy Naruto was walking back to his team while the blonde girl Tamari was looking like a statue on the viewer's perspective. Some whispered, "Did she anticipate for a kiss or that girl got it bad big time?" Ka and Hinata were looking/ staring/glaring at Naruto. "What?" Naruto asked. "How did you do that?" KBA asked but his question got dumped when Hinata interrupted. You've practically embarrassed him. Maris San Naruto. Hinata said BBB but I didn't do anything. Naruto said but then he realized that Karina was gone. Hey have you seen Karina I sensei? Naruto asked. She walked away just when you were about to kiss that San Nin. Ka said I wasn't going to kiss her. I swear. Naruto said this caused some people to look at their direction. Currently inside room number 301, Janan teams were waiting for the set exam to start. It was until they heard a loud crash at door revealing two Tokabetan's name, namely Midarashi Anko and Marina Ibiki. The said scarred man was muttering something about a crazy woman, but he just shrugged it off. The Janan teams were waiting for them to talk, but they just stood there silent, staring at the young Janans before them. It was as if they were trying to make them quick just before the exam starts. Some were frightened, nervous, and stoic. But it only got worse when two female ABUs came. There was something about the other ABU, though. She wasn't wearing any animal mask unlike her fellow ABU. The said mysterious ABU had a black mask, no markings, not a single color except black. A shiny black to be exact. Naruto was currently staring at the black mask to Beu. There was something about her that was strangely familiar. He only stopped looking at the set of Beu when he felt a strong pain in his head. Impossible, he thought as he looked back at the black mask to Beu. It is her. Naruto, you okay, man? Who are you staring at? KBA asked as he tried to look where Naruto was looking at the black mask of Beu. Ka thought. I'm fine though. I never mind. Naruto said. After a couple of minutes, two familiar people walked inside the room, namely Mama Kasabusa and Haku. Ersari were late. The half-masked man said while Haku just smiled. Ibeki looked at the black masked Buu and the set of Buu walked in front of a jennon. The Jennon, who apparently came from the rain village, was looking nervously at the ABU before him. He could even see his reflection on the black mask. He didn't even know he was already pinned to the wall. He looked at the side, but the ABU's hand was blocking his sight. Her palm connecting to the wall. The Jennon could hear some unknown sound coming from the Au's hand. He saw it move away slowly, but the thing that caught his eyes was a sword coming out of the wall. The said Jennan was terrified while the others were stuck from where they stood. Maybe that's the reason why she doesn't bring any weapons because she could make one in no time. Ibeki thought. So is there any one of you would like to quit now before the exam starts? Ibeki asked. Automatically some Jennon teams walked out room number 301 including the rain needs. Only the sand sound and the leaf jenn and teams were left to take the exam. Let's begin, Ibeki said with a maniacal grin on his face. Soon terrorists seemed to have walked inside the room. The killer intent being emitted by the examiners were enough to make some of the Jennins frightened. They were still inside room 301. The Jennins saw the other examiners walked out the room, leaving Ibeki, Haku, and Zabuza. Some Jennins thought it would be a written exam since they were inside a classroom. The Jennins saw their examiners gave some test papers to the Jennins. Naruto looked at the said paper which stated, "This is a trial run. After 20 minutes, you will have to run and escape this building. Think it could be possible? If you got caught, you and your team will fail. Time starts now." Nar read the paper over and over again. Was that a joke? There's a tokabeta jonin in front of us. Two jins, not to mention the other jouan is a jen. Churiki, was there a loophole to this test? If we don't run, we'll also fail. But if we run outside this room, what will happen? Narudo thought. The 20 minutes was closing in. They could see the examiners getting themselves ready for whatever ruckus this group of jennins could possibly do. Everybody was looking tense well somewhere. Naruto looked at the San Jennins. He was surprised that Gar was looking at him. His eyes were different from the ones Nar first saw. Changed drastically. Nar turned and looked at Team 7. He was once again surprised to see Sasuke looking at him similar to Garas. Nar turned again. This time he noticed both team 10 and team Guy were waiting calmly for the 20 minutes. Probably they already had a plan for this try run just like teammate. Ka smirked when Narut was about to do phase one of their plan. The kgi bushin no jatsu soon. The room was filled with at least 50 bushins making their way to the exit. At the very same moment, Ka and Hinata hinged to look like Narut while the other genon teams took this opportunity to escape as well. The examiners only opened one stairway for every floor, making it difficult for the Jennins to navigate which path they should take. The hallways were like a maze connected to a single exit. Currently, teammate was running at the hallways of the third floor. Suddenly, they stopped. In front of them were two elite jonins, namely Medogai, the green beast, and Sorotobasima, the chain smoker. Answer our question and we shall let you pass. If you got a wrong answer, I'm afraid you'll have to deal with us. Asama said, give us the question then. Nar said, how many animals were there in the note? Asama asked, what animal? It was clearly an instruction. Ka thought. Ka looked at his teammates who were thinking, "I don't think there are any animals in that note." And Nar said disappointed. Naruto looked at both examiners and said two there are two animals in the note. He said a while ago he was scanning the note in his mind. This is a try run. After 20 minutes you will have to run and escape this building. Think it could be possible? If you got caught, you and your team will fail. Time starts now. It only revealed two animals namely the ape and the kit. We may all pass. Guy said air shouted. Asama just congratulated them with a smile. How did you know there are two animals in that note? Ka asked. They were currently running at the maze-like corridors of the second floor. Maybe it was just my luck. Narugo said. Yeah, right. Ka said while Hinata settled for a chuckle. They managed to pass the second question being given by Kakashi and an unknown cat mass day in Buu. It only took them a couple of minutes to answer that question once again thanks to Nar. Teamm 8 had been wondering what this test was for. They were currently running at the first floor corridors. They also took notice that they were the only ones running at the first floor. Or did somebody already come before them? Once again, they stopped. Before them were Yuhikurini, the genut seistress and the mysterious black mass day in Buu. The Jennins saw the black mass day in Buu walk slowly to their direction. She placed her right palm to her armpad and in front of them she pulled out a canai out of the armpad. It was like alchemy, very advanced alchemy. They saw her, stopped and pointed the cany at Narut. I want you to answer my question. The black mass day in Buu commanded. Nar was trying to look behind the mask, but the only thing he could see was his reflection. Tell me, Jennine, what is the code of the shinobi and what is its purpose? The black mass day in Buu said. Karinai, on the other hand, was plain shocked. This wasn't the question. What the heck is she doing? Karinai thought. Nar looked down thinking, "Come on, Nar, don't disappoint me." The envy you thought Naruto was remembering the times when Aayaka was still with him teaching him. He remembered the day she healed his wounds back when he was still 5 years old. He remembered the day she started teaching him. The first lesson was the history of Kohaa. He remembered himself asking Aayaka this question that caused him a whack at the head. Ayano essay I sense. What is it Naruto Kuan? Akas asked why did you help me yesterday? the blonde boy asked as he looked down. Aka smiled. Being a shinobi, you must protect the ones you love. You must be loyal to them. Treat them as if they are a part of your heart. I want you to remember that Naruto Kuan Aka said Nar was about to say that she didn't even answer his question. But then he realized what Aayaka had said. You must protect the ones you love. Was he one of those she cared for? He didn't have to ask that. It was clearly obvious. I'll definitely going to remember that, Aka sense, Narut exclaimed. Keep your voice down, will you? Aka said as she brought both of her index fingers on her temples. Why are you feeling your age, old hag? 5 years old, Narut said. What did you just called me? Aika twitched the eyebrow. You're starting to get deaf, old hag. Nar said this time Aika's fist was rumbling like mad. Naruto noticed it and started to run off. But immediately, Aika caught him quite easily, not even using a single percent of her strength. She just whacked the hell out of the 5-year-old. That will teach you not to call me old hag. Currently, Naruto was looking down, but this time he had a grin on his face. When he looked up to see the black mast, they envy you. He said, "Being a shinobi, you must protect the ones you love. You must be loyal to them. Treat them as if they are a part of your heart. Naruto said with a fox grin on his face. You three can proceed now, she said with calmness in her tone. Soon teammate walked out the building. They were the first to walk out the said building. After a couple of minutes, they saw the sand knees walked out. Then team seven and after 15 minutes, they saw team 10 and team guy walking out at the same time. Soon they were greeted by a konachi named Midarashi Anko. him. 19 jennins managed to pass that A and B's test was something. I couldn't agree more. Anko thought with a maniacal grin on her face. Hey Narut, she's not our second examiner, is she? Ha whispered. He gulped when he saw that grin Anko was doing. I'm the hot, sexy, and still single Midarashi Enko. I'll be your second examiner. Did that answer your question? Narut said you. Anko said as she threw a ka at a jennon. Chunan examined too. The said jennon didn't move or even caught the kana. Yet he did manage not to get hurt. Now everybody's attention flew fast to the said Jennine. Before them was Uzumaki Nar with a pair of black wings at his back that served as a shield from the kunn. Enko smirked. Nar saw the said tokabetssu jan walk closely to where he sat. She bended her posture a little bit making her face the same level with Naruto's. Hea on the other hand was watching nervously same with the other jennins. He could see this. Midarashi Anko moved her face closely to Naruto's but one thing he didn't saw. Anko's hand. Anko's grin grew even wider. It was making the other jennon scared. Now her face was close to Naruto's ear. Gotcha. Enko whispered. Naruto's eyes grew wide. He felt something at his cheek. It was as if something had sliced it and it was now drawing blood. Now it was everybody's turn to get shocked. They could see the second examiner on top of Uzumaki Narut licking his blood. The event was sickening. They could just imagine if this second examiner was crazy enough. They would have to expect the unexpected. Anko withdrew herself from Narut, who had a mixed expression on his face. Anko, on the other hand, still had the maniacal grin on her face. She looked at the Jennins before her, but now with seriousness in her eyes. She held out a couple of forms and said, "Signed these forms," she said as she gave the forms to the Jennins. "I know Midarashi, what are these forms for?" Enko saw a pink-haired girl last. "Those forms will state that you will be responsible for your own death." Enko replied. She turned her heel to face the other Jennins. Now this is the second stage of your exam. Welcome to the forest of death. She grinned. You will have to apply all of your survival skills to be able to pass this exam. Your goal is to get the scrolls, specifically the heaven and earth scrolls. If your team got the heaven scroll, you are assigned to get the earth scroll and so on and so forth. I don't care how you complete this test. Once you got all specific scrolls, you will proceed to the tower at the middle of the forest. You only have 5 days and five nights to complete your entire given task. Enko said after a couple of minutes, all Jenns were positioned to their designated gates. Once the gates were opened, they all saw teammate flew past their designated gate, courtesy of Naruto's wings. Surely, they will have a head start for this test just like a while ago. Everybody was convinced that this Uzumaki Nar was different from the Uzumaki Narut they knew before. They should have to keep their guards up if they cross teammates's path. X currently with teammate they landed safe just above a branch. Who should hold the scroll? Ka asked. Nar should he can protect the scroll? Hanata said true Ka said as he and Hanata looked at their teammate who was thinking as well. No, Narut said. They'll expect the scroll will be in my possession. Ka should hold the scroll, he said. Are you sure? Ka asked. He saw Narut nod while Hanata smiled. Just when they were about to sprint away, they all heard a scream near their area. H screamed again. Teammates saw their fellow Jennen Harino Sakura. She was running for her. Teammate Achi Hazuk, who looked like he was dead. They also noticed Shino trying to defend both of his teammates from a snake- like creature. The snake- like creature was grinning at the Yanabai rain. Shino wasn't expecting a sword come flashing out of his mouth, but something was off. Shino looked up to see Uzumaki Narut. Once again, his wings were used as a defense. Yul, the snake like creature said inside his twisted mind, his thoughts were racing frankly. this boy. He can't be. They were all wiped out. It's impossible, he thought. I'll leave Sasuke Kuan to you. I'm sure he'll come asking for me. The snake like creature said as he took his leave. Nar was about to go after the said man, but Ka and Hanata stopped him. Nar looked back at Team 7. He kneled in front of Sasuke's unconscious form. He noticed a mark at his neck. He looked at Sakura and said, "What happened to him?" Sasuke Kuan got attacked by the snake- like man. H. He bit Sasuke Kuan at the neck. Sakura said between sobs. Nar sighed and walked back to his teammates who were currently aiding Shino. The said Abberam tried to fend off his teammates against the said snake- like man. Out of nowhere, a group of sound needs came. They were obviously looking for another scroll. as they proclaimed. Their female teammate noticed the Jennine who had a long silky pink hair. Canichi was her name. She has been irritated by this jennon. She wasn't even fit being a kunahichi. She thought, give us your scroll, said the other jennon. His name was Zaku Abumei. What if we don't? Ka asked. You<unk>ll die. Saka shouted while his female teammate Kyn ran to Sakura. Their other teammate, Dosa Canada, was staring at the blonde Jennon. Sakura didn't have any time to dodge the attack being given to her. She could feel her hair being pulled as she struggled to get away. Teamm 8 was about to help Sakura, but Saka interrupted them. Saka created a wind-like barrier in front of teammate. They could see the way that female sound means Sakura. Her hair cut by Kins Connie. Nar, on the other hand, was feeling something vaguely familiar, something he had felt before. But what? He activated his wings as he ran for Sakura, who was on the process of hitting the nearby tree. By the time he laid her at the ground with his teammates, he told them to help Sakura. Meanwhile, Ka and Hinata could swear they saw something inside Naruto's eyes, something that looked like slits. Black slits to be exact. They took notice that the surroundings were changing as if they were inside a jingjutsu, but the thing is felt real. The sound team looked at the blonde boy in front of them. They could see nothing from his face, which only bore a neutral one. Both Saka and Kyn were stuck watching the blonde before them. There was something about those eyes. They thought they both took a step back, but they were surprised to find themselves stuck on their feet. They couldn't even speak. They just saw the blonde boy walked up to them. You've heard someone who's incapable of defending herself and yet you abused her. Nar said to the Kunahichi. Then he looked at the shinobi before him. You seeing as she was helpless yet you still interfered. You wanted to see her die slowly. I'll give you that, Nar said. And this time he turned to both sound needs. You'll pay for your deceit, Nar said. By the time he turned his heel, he could hear the screams coming from both sound needs. Datu, on the other hand, was in panic. Panic for his teammates and panic for his life. He didn't even saw this blonde boy form any hand seals. And yet, he managed to immobilize both of his teammates. Not to mention, he managed to make them suffer with an unknown jutzu that seemed like a genjutsu. Wait, he said. Nar stopped with his tracks and turned again to face the other sound need. Let my teammates go. I'll give you our scroll in return. Datu said. Nar looked at him. He saw the said need was handing out their team scroll. Nar promptly took it and soon Qin and Zaku were dropped down to the ground panting. Both too tired to stand up or even continue with their consciousness. They lay there unconscious. As Datu saw it, he just carried both of his teammates away from them. Once the sound needs were gone, they saw Narut fell to his knees just when his wings dissipated. For now, teammate has two scrolls, specifically both heaven and earth scrolls. Unknown to them, a group of Jennins were watching the whole fiasco. Even they felt the amount of power Nar displayed. A while ago, Kibbo was currently carrying his teammate Nar as they sprinted up to the trees on their way to the said tower X. On the said tower, teammate was greeted by a puzzle or something like a riddle. It only came to them when Kibbo accidentally opens both said scrolls when he dropped Nar due to exhaustion. He cursed himself when a cloud of smoke appeared in front of them only to reveal Yumino Iraqa. Yo, you're a bit early anyways. Come in. There are medics inside and rooms to rest in. And if you're hungry, there's also food. Iraqa said, not even noticing the unconscious blonde until Iraqa sensei helped Narqu quick. Kibbo shouted. Soon, Bchunin turned back and carried Nar inside the tower. Karinai and the other Jonins saw Iraqa running with a blonde ninja in his arms. This caused Karinai and other Jonins namely Anko and Kakashi to go after the said Chunin and to see if Narut was all right. What happened to him? Karinai asked her students. We don't know. At first, we thought he'd gone berserk. Then the next thing he fell unconscious. Kibbo said as he tried to calm Hanata from crying. Karina site. She just sat next to Narut who was still sleeping. You were there beside me. Sensei, you're the first and last person I've seen through those times. And every time I open my eyes, you were there. Karinai sensei. That was a great help for me. Nar said as he looked at the heavens above. Karinai remembered those words as she watched Naruto's sleeping form. It was like what had happened back at Wave Country. She was thankful that he didn't suffer from any injuries unlike before. Was she getting all worried again? It was normal though as she thought this was her student lying unconscious in front of her. She would do the same with Hanata and Ka. This made her decision to stay with them until the five given days for the stage ended. They still have 4 days to go. That would be enough for a good rest. After teammate had finished the second task, they were given the opportunity to take a break. They found out that the sand means came first before them and then after 2 days team 7 came. Sasuke was still unconscious. Kakashi immediately recognized the marking on Sasuke's neck. He promptly moved his team to a room separately just like the other teams. It was also on the second day team guy and team 10 alongside with a single sound Jen and Kain. And on the third day, the sound team came. Meanwhile, Sakura was outside Sasuke's room. In front of her was Kakashi. He was telling the pink head that Sasuke can't see any visitors and he's still unconscious. But Sakura was still protesting but then stopped. She looked at the floor that seemed to be getting blurry in her point of view. Kakashi sighed as he looked at his distressed student. He just walked inside Sasuke's room. There was still someone in her mind she had to visit Nar. Sakura never saw Nar to get serious. She could still remember the time he saved her when she was about to hit the nearby tree. She couldn't help but to wonder what was Karina's feeling when she flew with Narut. Sakura smiled as she went with her merry way to visit the said blonde. By the time she was near to the said room, there was something about it. There were people in front of Naruto's room. There was this girl named Haku and then Ka and Hinata. Shino was there too. Even Eno was there. Wait, stop. Freeze. Rewind. Eno's there. Sakura would understand why Ka, Hinata, and Shino were there, and she would slightly understand why Haku was there before Eno. There was a big question mark at the end of that statement. She walked closely, but then she didn't even notice that there were two Kinois at the back. There was this leaf meme. Sakura noticed that the said leaf meme was from Lee's team. Her name was 10 to 10 as far as Sakura could remember. 10 to 10 was after all from the early graduating class. Then there was this sand meme. For Sakura, that sand meme was a mystery to her. X. Meanwhile, inside Naruto's room, Narut was widely awake, but Karinai was not letting him. Though after what had happened since it was still a mystery to Karinai, Nar noticed that they were alone in the room. He couldn't help but to look at his sensei who was peeling an apple with a knife. Ayano Karinai sensei, where's Zenada and Ka? Are they all right? Nar asked. Karinai didn't look at him, but then she replied. They are perfectly fine. Narut Kuan. Apple? Karinai said as she offered the said fruit to him. At first, it tasted sweet. Then slowly it was gone like cotton candy, only apple flavored. Once he was done eating, Narut was looking at the white sheets which were covering half of his body. He couldn't help but to feel uneasy being alone with a full-g grown woman beside him. But why feel this now? They have been alone in her house, but short-lived. They have been alone back at Tazuna's house twice, but once again short-lived. They have been alone at their training ground, but then short-lived. There was only this one time back at the park. It wasn't short-lived. cut or even interrupted. That was one of the best nights Nar had. Narut Kuan. Are you all right? Karinai asked for the fifth time. Nar apparently hadn't answered since he was busy staring at the white sheets. He asked. Karinai moved closely. It's as if she was studying his facial reactions. But then inside, she was about to stand up when suddenly the door swung open, making the occupants of the room surprised while the ones at the door were shocked from what they were seeing. It only became worse when Anko, Kakashi, and Zabuzu came in. A while ago, when Karinai was about to stand up, the door swung open immediately, making the occupants of the room surprised as hell it would be. The ninjas saw Karinai on top of a shirtless Narut. Immediately, Karinai separate herself from the said blonde, both speechless and blushing. By the way, way to get Narutku and Karinai, Enko said, "That was interesting," Zabuzu said with a chuckle. "Very interesting indeed," Kakashi added. This caused the Genjutsu mistress to become red while the other genans were looking at their second examiner. It hit them hard when they remembered that this woman was the one who licked Naruto's cheek. Their line of sight turned to Nar. It was just now that they realized that he grew literally. He wasn't the 5'2 in blonde teenager who had puppy. That's back then. Nar was now the 5'6 in young man who had well-defined physique. And to think he was only 14 years old. How Sasuke? Nar asked trying to change the topic. He's fine. He's still asleep though, Kakashi said. But before Nar could ask any more questions, he was tackled by Ka and Akamaru. Narut, how did you do that jingjutsu trick you pulled back there at the forest? That was so cool, man. Ka asked, "What jing jutsu trick?" Narut asked looking confused. "You don't remember?" Ka asked in all. "No, he he." "So what did I do again?" Nar asked. Everyone was confused, including the ones who didn't get to see what really happened. Why won't you tell us what really happened? Kakun Karina asked. Ka nodded and started to tell what happened back at the forest of death. That wasn't what really happened, Eno said. She interrupted Ka when he was at the park when Narut was about to be thrown at the nearby tree, which did not happen. Even Sakuro was nodding in agreement. Narutokun didn't get thrown at a tree. He was saving forehead girl. Eno added, "Oh yeah, as far from what I can remember, you weren't there." "Ho ho ho, wait a second here. Since when there was a kuin at Naruto's name," Ka asked. Immediately, all eyes turned to Eno. Um uh could you please continue with the story? Nar asked, making his presence known again. They were about to continue when Hinata interrupted. "Let me continue," she said. Everyone sighed and nodded in response while there were two people who hadn't stopped glaring at each other. Soon Hinata started to narrate the whole story in every detail. No one interrupted since it was what really happened. By the time she was done narrating the whole story, everybody including Nar was shocked. I did what? Nar asked disbelieving. You practically saved us Naruto. Sakura said for that I thank you. she said as she hugged him. Air, "It's really nothing, Sakura." Nar said as he moved away from the said girl and walked up to his clothes. But before he could even put on his clothes, he swore he could feel a warm hand touching his bare back. He quickly turned around and surprised to say he saw Haku and Enko both grinning at him. "That's a cool looking tattoo you got there, Narutkun." Haku said, "Has anyone ever told you you look so hot without your shirt?" and Narut [ __ ] Enko said, dragging the [ __ ] purposely. From what she was seeing, she was definitely enjoying every detail of it. Too bad there were people around here, but then again, maybe she would just love the audience's expressions. Let's take for example, oh, Ka, Kakashi, and Zabusa. What the heck? Sakura, Eno, 10, Tamari, and Karinai, Shino and Hinata. Early in the morning, ninjas were already inside a covered stadium. Some were waiting for their names to be called. The referee said a while ago that they were in need to cut off the number of participants since there were an odd number of participants in the tuning exam. Surprisingly, a Jennon from Oaku raised his hand. He just said that his chakra reserves were low, so he had to quit. A while ago, the first match was with Harino Sakura and Yamin Nakaino, which ended up as a draw. Then the second match came. It was Sabakuno Canankaro versus 1010. The match ended up as the winner, much to 10's dismay. Once the winner was decided, they call upon the third match. It was Sabakuno Tamari versus Ksuchi. Kin's attack was no match against Tamari's long range attacks, and as a result, Tamari was the victor. The fourth match came. It was Sabakuno Gara versus Saku Abumi. The match ended up fast. Saka almost getting killed without any remorse coming from his opponent. Gota. After their match, everyone fell silent. Even the other sand needs were quiet. After the eerie silence, the fifth match came. It was Rock Lee versus the Kamehi Chuji. As a result, Lee was declared the winner. Currently, everybody was watching Ka and Sasuke's match. Ka and Akamaru already formed the Giene Bushin. Soon there were two tornado-like spinning to its opponent Sasuke. Sasuke's next move caught everyone offg guard. That was my Lee said there was no mistake. That was Lee's kennoi. Sasuke might have copied it while Lee was battling against Gigi. Ka's Gatsuga was immediately stopped. Even though KBA was spinning, Sasuke managed to stop it during the aerial attack. Ka had no choice but to quit. He already lost a lot of chakra from the attack. He would soon faint if he continued. He looked up to his teammates and Jon and Sensei. It was clear to them that what was happening to him during the fight, the quit, he said. Soon Sasuke was declared as the winner. Ka walked up to his teammates with a low face. obviously disappointed with the result of the fight, but his teammates were smiling at him. Nar walked up to him and said, "You were great and that was enough for us." Nar said as he patted Ka's back several times, causing him to fall to the floor. He looked up only to find both of his teammates and Jon and Sensei smiling at him. He two smiled back. After their little get together, the next match was already being called by the referee. They were Abuur Shino and Higa Hinata. Both said competitors walked up to the arena, both studying each other. Slowly, Shino called out his destruction bugs while Hinata activated her by Kugan. The match hadn't even started yet, and both competitors were getting ready. "This should be interesting," Nar said. "How so?" Ka asked. Nar just smirked and said, "How much would you bet if this match ended up as a draw?" Ka just looked at him with a confused look on his face. What was he trying to say? He thought. Meanwhile, back was Shino and Hinata. The referee looked at both competitors and said, "Five." Shino called out his destruction bugs for a direct attack, but with Hinata by Kugan. Hinata managed to counter the attack. She was about to land a hit on Shino when suddenly he turned out to be a mere clone of his bugs. Now she was practically covered by shinos kai bugs blinding her view. He could be anywhere. Hinata thought. With that thought in her mind, she shouted, "You are under my divination." She said soon there were kai bugs everywhere. Unknown to her, she managed to hit Shino with quite a number. Closing his tenetsus at the same time. Shino didn't even get a chance to attack since he made it fly away. The referee was looking at both competitors and decided to call it a draw. By the time the referee called it a draw, both ninjas collapsed at the arena. Shino suffered from internal blows and muscle pains while Hinata suffered from chakra exhaustion. They were both carried away by the stretchers and soon another match was going to be held. "X Uzumaki Narut versus Hugeni," the referee called. Soon both competitors were at the arena. It was like the most anticipated match of the elimination round. Niji was looking at Nar. He could still remember Hinata story during their gen in test. It was on that day he accepted Nar as a rival, but not an equal. I've waited for this time to come. It seems that Fate wanted us to fight. Too bad Fate already chose me as the victor. Niji said with a grin. Nar just smiled at the sarcasm. As far from what I can see, I'm still standing here, Niji said. Nar said he noticed Niji's reaction and boy was he pissed. Without a second or two, Niji attacked Nar with his jukuin. Niji was about to attack again, but surprised to say, his attacks were useless when he saw a pair of black wings covering Naruto's whole body. By the time the said wings was gone, Nar had a different look on his face. He had the same look back at the forest of death. The same black slits in Naruto's eyes. Ka looked at Naruto's eyes. Isn't that the same with the ones back at the forest of death? Hinata asked. Ka stared at it for a couple of seconds. It was the same, he had to admit. But there was a slight difference in it. Yes, but Ka said. You recognized it too? Inata asked and Kiba nodded. It's like his eyes didn't have any glow. It's like as if he's hypnotized or something. KBA said Karinai was listening at her students conversation. She just kept silent as she watched Naruto's fight. She noticed Naruto's moose. It was as if he's dancing at the stage. Nar was just evading every attack that Niji was giving him. It was like a child's play for Nar. Back with Narut and Niji's fight. Naruto was standing there as well as Niji. They stopped fighting just when Niji realized something. Naruto's wings serves as a shield just like Gar's sand. But was it just for defense? This was the first time Niji saw Nar used those wings in battle. Niji kept his cool. He didn't want to look like a fool in this match. He was a after all. Let's end this Naruto sand. Niji said as he took a familiar stance. It was the texture Kiton as Nar thought. Let's Niji sand. Nar said as he waited for the incoming attack. Kiton shouted Niji. Soon he was spinning towards Nar. Teammate was yelling out for Nar to move out the way, but he just stood there. Eyes closed. It was as if he was anticipating for the attack. There it goes again. Niji thought. Before him was Nar covered by his black wings. Niji was attacking but then his spin was starting to slow down. He was caught off guard literally. Nar managed to catch him by the neck. Even the spectators were surprised as to how this blonde Jennan managed to grab Niji by the neck. Even with Niji's jukin, he couldn't detach himself from Naruto's grip. The only thing he could see from Nar was his eyes. those blue eyes with black slits in it. There was something about it that made his body immobilized. It was like the sharangan, but it's far from different. Niji could feel his air starting to decrease, and it wasn't Naruto's grip. It's like it came from the inside. It was like there's something burning inside of him. Niji collapsed just when Nar let him go. He was coughing real hard. Beads of sweat seemed to form on his forehead. He looked at Nar just when the referee declared Nar as the winner. There he saw again those pair of blue eyes with black slits. His wings dissipated again as he walked back to his teammates. He saw him stopped and looked at him. Fate doesn't choose your path. Remember that Niji Nar said. Then Niji saw Naruto's retreating back. Meanwhile, the Hokag watched the whole match starting from the first end to the last. Luzumaki Naruto's fight against Huganiji. Sandame was pleased yet disturbed. He was pleased that Narut won, but he couldn't help but to wonder about those eyes that Nar possessed during the fight. It was disturbing because he had heard some rumors that Nar had used it, but from what he had heard, this was different. Sandame motioned an U to come. It was the black masked U. Do you mind telling me what that was? Sandame said. The Yu didn't hesitate to answer. That was Naruto Kuan's second bloodline, the Jugjen evil eyes. It compliments with the Kuriteni Tsubasa. Those bloodlines came from Mizuhasima's lineage, Sandame Sama. The U said, surprised to say, Sandame was not shocked at the Usu<unk>s reply. He knew that one of these days Nar will get to activate all of his powerful bloodlines. Minato Mizuho, he's becoming stronger than you've ever wished. Soon he will surpass everyone, even you, Minato, my friend. Sandame thought. Hokag sama. The U called. Yes. Sandame said. The Jennins have already picked a number, Hokag Sama. It's your turn to announce when the next fight will be. The blackmasked U replied. Right. Sandame said as he stood up from his seat. Before him were the victors of this stage namely Nar Shikamaru 1, Rock Lee 1, Sabakanagura 3, Sabakino 2, Sabakot Tamar 4, Ikihasuk 2, Uzumaki Narut 3. First, congratulations for winning this second stage. Now you'll all have at least one month to train for the next stage. Dear, your best, Sandame said, leaving the ninjas behind. The said ninjas were wondering what could the last stage of the Chunin exam would be like since they were facing real ninjas here. Someone who they didn't know personally in the case of the leaf nines and the sand nines. The sand nines were a big mystery to them. Several minutes passed. All the ninjas went to their merry way. Some were disappointed while some were pleased. Currently in an though we could see our favorite blue-eyed shinobi Uzumaki Nar. He had been asleep since his body agreed to it. There he was sleeping without a care to the world around him. Even Q.Bi was supplying him a wondrous dream in Naruto's point of view. It was about him and his angel. They were flying under the moonlight. They were alone until he was hearing some giggling. Nar was automatically awakened by the said disturbance. He was frankly looking who could have been giggling at the male section of the Ananzin. Once he found the source of the disturbing sound, he had the urge to yell at the said source. Before him was a half- naked man with white long hair and red markings on his face. The said half- naked man was giggling. Is he peeping? Nar thought. Then there he heard again. The white-haired man was giggling again. Nar was about to shout when he heard a familiar voice from the women's section of the Ananzin. Come on, Karinai. Tell us what was it like flying with him. A familiar voice rang from the other side of the ananzen. Nar recognized it as his second examiner, Midarashi Anko. Then another familiar voice was heard. Tell us. It was that catmastery NBU Yuzuki Yuga. Narudo thought. Without a second or two, another familiar voice was heard. Y'all speak for Motoko here. Come on, Karinai. Tell us please. It was Haku, Zabu's adopted sister. It was just until now Naruto realized that there were five konojis at the other side of the Ananzin, including his Jon and sensei, and this white-haired man was peeping on them. He quickly rose up from the waters and yelled, "What the heck do you think you're doing?" Nar shouted. This caused the other ninjas from the other side of the Ananzin to rise from the hot water, securing their bodies from the unknown pervert, as though they thought the white-haired man looked back at the other customer of the Ananzin, signaling him to shut up. "Stop it," he said. "Why?" "So that the women you're peeping won't know about your act." Nar shouted, bringing his volume up. Unfortunately for the white-haired man, the women already decided to bring forth their wrath. The said white-haired man was tied at a nearby tree by a half-mased kunajichi. It was Moco. You the white-haired man started. The half-mased Kunajichi walked up to the tide man and whispered something unknown to the others. Once she was done, she walked back to the other women. Some were not looking at the pervert, but they were looking at the blonde shinobi in the ananzen. Nar noticed the stairs being given to him. He just laughed nervously and said, "Um, did you don't you'll feel a little awkward here? You're in the men's section of the Ananzin. Somebody could see y'all." Nar said as he looked down, avoiding the stairs being given to him. Anko smirked as she saw the young man nervous from his feet. Why? You scared Naruto Kuwan," Enko said as she walked in front of the blonde. Yuga and Haku had a smile on their faces while Karinai just stood there silent. Moto, on the other hand, was nowhere to be found, for women stood there half naked with a blonde shinobi, half naked as well, forgetting the white-haired man at the tree. Nar gulped at his sudden predicament. He was about to say something when someone broke it for him. Enko, it was Karinai. Yugao and Haku looked between the two while Narut was at the middle. Enko looked at the Jenjutsu mistress with a raised eyebrow. There was something on her face which stated, "Don't mess with me when I'm having fun." She was currently looking at Karinai. The said woman had a serious look on her face, too, but it didn't state anything. Unlike Enko's "What?" Enko asked. "Just leave Naruto Kuan alone. We better head back to the women's section and fast. Karinai said with a plain tone. Her face didn't show any emotion, nor was she concealing it just like a while ago. Karinai raised her eyebrow when she heard the Tokabetsi Joan and chuckled and it got worse. Enko started to laugh hysterically. Now it was everyone's turn to look confused at the Toabeti Joan and haha, you should see the look on your face. Haha, it was haha. Hilarious, ha. Enko laughed more. Karinai had the urge to yell at the woman before her. While Yuga and Haku just sighed at the woman, Narudo, well, he had a blank look on his face. Once again, they forgot about the white-haired man behind them. After several seconds, Karinai pulled Anko away, making the other Kenojis follow from behind. Narut looked at the retreating women, then to the white-haired man. The said white-haired man was looking at him as well. Their staring contest ended when the white-haired man spoke. "Your Uzumaki, Narut, correct? Automatically, Nar raised an eyebrow, confused as to how would this man know him?" Nar just nodded and said that I am in you are Nar asked. The white-haired man had the urge to yell at the blonde, but then he just let his cool take over him. "Kids these days?" The white-haired man thought, "I am Jeriah, one of the legendary three." The Jeriah said, but Narut cut him off. You're one of the legendary three as in one of Sand. MGG students, I really have hard time believing at that crap. Nar said he had a bored look on his face when Jeriah introduced himself. Jeriah's eyebrow twitched at the blondes behavior. You're coming with me, he said. Nar said, "What are you deaf?" Jeriah asked, making the blonde shot back. Why the heck will I go with you? For all I know, you're a pervert. Jeriah had a grin on his face. He walked away to the said blonde, and without a second or two, he formed a set of hand seals and said, "Cooko's no jutsu." Soon there was a frog that's almost as big as a human being. Jeriah still had the smirk on his face as he looked at the shock shinobi. Meet me at the lake tomorrow morning. Jeriah said, "Leaving the shock Naruto behind." Which lake? Narudo thought. The next day came. Nar was walking at a side of a lake. He was thinking of the encounter he had with the Toad Sandine. What was he thinking? Nar thought. Unknown to him. Someone was watching/stalking at him. Good to see you came, the stalker said. Nar looked behind. It was Jeriah the perverted hermit. He was wearing the oddest pile of clothes Nar had ever seen. Here I am. What do you want? Naruto asked. Jeriah ignored the sarcasm and proceeded to his agenda. I'm here to teach you Gaki. Jeriah said. Nar raised an eyebrow, but when he remembered the encounter last night, he immediately said yes to the perverted hermit. Jeriah was watching the blonde as he jumped up and down in front of him, something he remembered back when his student was alive. Okay, okay, calm yourself, Gez. Why are you so excited? Jeriah asked. Come on, Aerosentin. What's the first lesson? Nar said obviously excited. Jeriah was calming himself. The boy had a knack to call him Aerosentin. Perverted hermit. He just sighed at the thought. I've heard that you have wings. Is that true? Jeriah asked. Narut nodded and said, "Yes, I do have wings," he said as he activated his cure tent sheet. Suposo, what else can you do with it aside from flying? Jeriah asked again. Nar was on his thinking position. I guess I can use it as a shield. I've done it several times. Nar said. Jeriah was pondering at Naruto's words. Can you use it as a weapon? Jeriah asked again. Naruto's face fell. I don't know, he said. Ya. Yayer. Come on. Come with me. Jeriah said. Nar was taken aback as he saw the hermits retreating back. "Wait up," he said as he deactivated his wings. Nar was following the said frogentin. They were still near the lake, only a few meters away from where they stood a while ago. "What now, Aerosentin?" Nar asked. "That's it," Jeriah thought. "Let's just say." Jeriah snapped. Stop calling me that, you brat. Jeriah shouted. I'm going to teach you to summon. Jeriah added. Nar was about to shot back, but when he heard what Jeriah had said, Narut was all ears to the toad sanding. Summon? Nar repeated. What? You don't know what's a summon? Jeriah asked. I know them, but that would mean I have to get a contract from a certain animal or summon. Nar said. Jeriah had a grin on his face stating that his answer was correct for someone in his age. There he was once again forming the needed hand seals for the summoning. Once Jeriah was done, he bit his thumb and slammed both palms at the ground, saying, "Kio<unk>'s no jutsu." At the same time, soon there was this frog again, the one Naruto saw back at the Anson. The said frog brought out a large scroll from its mouth. Jeriah promptly opened the said scroll and said, "Sign here using your blood." Jeriah said as he pointed out. Nar noticed Jeriah's name and then another name next to him and his signature. The mysterious signature that said Nami K's Manado. He's the fourth sensei. Nar wondered as he signed the said contract. They're done. Nar said before we do the summoning, have you done tree climbing to control your chopper? Jeriah asked which earned him a nod from the said blonde. Okay, how about water walking? Jeriah asked again, but then again, Narut nodded in response. What the heck have you been teaching here, Micah? Jeriah said to no one in particular in his mind. He just sighed and said, "Fine, we<unk>ll start with the summoning, but I must warn you." The frog boss is not that easy to be pleased. Jeriah said, "Yes," Narut said as he mocked a salute. "Now I want you to do these hand seals." Jeriah said he was currently teaching Nar the correct set of hand seals needed for the summoning. Now do as I say. Bite your thumb to draw some blood. Slam both of your palms to the ground and say the summoning jutzu. Got it so far? Jeriah asked. Nar nodded in response. He did what he was told to. By the time he finished with the whole ordeal, he announced Cookio<unk>'s no jutzu. Soon there was a cloud of smoke, but it wasn't big as Jeriah. A while ago, it was rather small. When the smoke dissipated, it only revealed a small version of the frog. A while ago, yo, it said Narut was looking at the frog. He was quite surprised to see it. Talked and yet here it was asking for him if he got some candies in him. Hello, are you deaf? Do you have some candy with you? It asked again. Ha. Oh, here. Nar said as he gave the said frog a mint mint him thanks I'm Damakichi and you are Gamakichi asked Nar who's a maki Nar Nar said ja I'm going now thanks for the mint again Nar Gamakichi said as he poofed away leaving a dumbfounded Narot for a first try Nar Jeriah said from the behind now do it again this time try to summon the big boss Jeriah said. Narut promptly went back to his feet and did the necessary hand seals. Once he was done, he bit his thumb again and slammed both of his palms to the ground and shouted Cookio<unk>'s no jutzu. Then it happened again. There was a cloud of smoke, but this time it was humongous. The cloud dissipated and it revealed the king of all frogs. Gamabantha Jeriah, how dare you summon me at a time like this? It shouted. Nar was looking everywhere as if trying to find someone, but then he noticed something. The said perverted Toad Sanan in was nowhere to be found. Nar looked up and said, "Erosanin didn't summon you." "I did." Nar shot back. Gamabha heard a voice, but then he couldn't see where the source was coming from. This is getting nowhere. Narudo thought. He activated his wings and flew in front of the boss frog. Gamabantha saw something landed on his nose and said, "I was the one who summoned you. He shouted, "You a mere pipsqueak. You must be joking me." Gamabantha said he was looking at the blonde boy on his nose. There was something about him that he was familiar with. Then he noticed the black wings on his back. Is he considering him now? Jeriah thought he was currently watching Nar and the big boss frog as they confront with each other. I already did the other half. I guess it's your turn now, Jeriah said to someone in particular. A shadow walked out of nowhere. It revealed a feminine form. She had black shoulderlength wavy hair and red intense eyes. She was watching Nar from far behind just like Jeriah. The said figure was smiling as she watched Nar who was trying to convince the said frog boss. Nar has grown so much. Nessima, I'm sure you're watching over him now. Meanwhile, back with Narut, the said blonde was still trying to convince Gamaba. But then another poof was heard. When the smoke dissipated, it revealed the small frog. Gamakichi. Yo, Pops. Oh, hey, Naruto. What are you doing here? Whoa, you have wings. That's cool, man. Gamakichi said. Gamabuntha was looking at his son. Gamakichi. Then to this blonde boy again. Gamakichi, what are you doing here? Gamabantha asked, "Mom was wondering where you've been. You suddenly disappeared in a poof." Gamakichi said. Nar could swear he was hearing some grunting coming from Gamaba. Then the next thing he knew, Gamaba was looking at him and then to his son. "How did you know this human?" Gamaba asked. I think he summoned me a while ago. I like him pops. He gave me this mint just a moment ago. Gamakichi said, "Gamaban looked at the blonde boy again and said, for now, you have the permission to summon any of my children except me. Do you understand that? I still have to give you a test to see if you really are worthy of my services." Gamaba said as he and Gamakichi poofed away. Why was H? Nar shouted as he flew almost everywhere in the clearing. After several minutes, he landed back on the ground. He was happy at the new jutzu he had learned. He was about to walk again, but something was off. He couldn't move. Nar was trying force himself too, but he can't. He felt someone was behind him and that someone was walking to his direction. Once that someone was in front of Nar, his eyes grew as possible as they can get. Naruto stuttered. Not because he couldn't move. He can move now. But he was like in an automatic shutdown. You already forgot my name, Naruto [ __ ] It was Aika, Naruto's former sensei. She was currently looking at the wide-eyed blonde who was still shocked at what he was seeing. Naruto, are you all right? Aika asked as she waved her right hand in front of Naruto's face. Nar shook his head several times. It was as if he was just dreaming, but then again, he wasn't. And Aika made sure of that. Nar, what I'm about to do to you now will sting a little bit, so prepare for the inevitable, Aika said. Narut was about to ask what was going on, but all of a sudden, he felt a pang of great pain struck through his right arm. It made him go limp. He screamed as the pain went to its highest level. He was screaming, but then noticed he couldn't even muster. A single whisper from his mouth. He looked at his former sensei who was watching him as well. After several minutes, he passed out. Soon, there was a black-like markings around his right arm, and his wings tattooed at the back extended even further. The only part of his body that wasn't covered by the black markings was his left arm. By the time Narudo woke up, he noticed the surroundings hadn't changed. It was like the time didn't change at all. He was there lying on the ground. He was wondering about the encounter he had with Aika. Did that really happen? He asked to no one in particular. Then he noticed a note stuck on his forehead which stated, "Hey Gaki, sorry I got to run again. If you notice the time didn't change, so you still have time to go and meet your teammates. Oh, and if you notice the bandage on your right arm, don't take it off if you don't want to faint." He just kidding. If you feel that it doesn't hurt anymore, you can take it off. Once again, I'll see you when I'll see you, Aayika. Naruto read the note again and again. For the second time, she left him again with a note. He noticed his right arm bandaged and felt as if nothing had happened to it. After several seconds, he started to walk towards the training grounds. The first thing he noticed was his Jon and Sensei, and she was um hiding behind a bush. Naruto raised an eyebrow as he watched the said Jon and he just walked next to her but when he was about to say good afternoon he was pulled down by Karina signaling him to keep quiet as she pointed the other members of team eight namely Inazuka Kiba and Higa Hinata the said Jonins were currently seating at a log both talking with each other Karina and Narut noticed Hinata's giggling and keep his blush I wonder where Sensei and Nar is quite late don't you think and said maybe they went on a date. Ka said which made the Huda princess chuckle and said maybe but then again there they are and Nata said as she pointed out at the newcomers so what were you two doing while we were not yet here? Nar asked with a grin. Nothing. How about the both of you? Where were you both? Ka asked with a grin on the face. Karina and Nar didn't answer. They just looked away but Ka was eyeing the both of them. Um, Narut, what happened to your arm? Karina asked, trying to change the topic. Oh, this it's nothing. Nar said with a smile on his face. Ka was about to say something when suddenly Hinata said, "Um, Narut, what do you plan now for the Chunan exam? You're facing Sabakanagura, right?" Hinata asked. Narut still had a smile on his face. "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine." He said, "Say Narut, what's this on your neck?" Ka asked as he tackled down the said blonde while Hinata and Karina were watching the two as they wrestled down to the ground. "It's nothing," Nar said as he tried to get away from the dog user. When they were about to start to wrestle against someone poofed in it was Kakashi with Guy. Naruto Kakashi called Narut looked at his adopted brother and then to Guy. What's the matter, Nissen? Nar asked. Kakashi noticed the bandage on Naruto's right arm and said, "What happened to your arm?" "You didn't get injured, did you?" Kakashi asked with seriousness in his eye. "No, I didn't get injured. I had these when I was training with myself just near the lake a while ago." "Why? What's the matter?" Nar asked. Kakashi sighed in relief. "It's Lee. He He was attacked." 1010en said that it was Sabakanagura who attacked Lee, but we don't have enough evidence to disqualify him in the Chunan exam. I'm afraid that Lee will have to forfeit the match with a Suma student. It is just so unthful, Guy said as he cried in front of the other ninjas. Some were sending him weird looks, but some were just silent as they felt a bit sad for their fellow Shinobi. This made Nar more determined to fight that Subakanagura. Aside from the feral feeling he felt during their first encounter, he was definitely going to show that Sabakanagura a thing or two. Glad to see her safe. Otudo, Kakashi said as he ruffled Naruto's hair. The said blonde Jenan was occupied a while ago. He was staring at his bandage fist. Ha and Hinata thought Nar will go berserk again just like in the forest of death. Everyone swore they saw a hint of black in Naruto's eyes, but it quickly fade away when Kakashi ruffled the said blond's hair. After several minutes, Kakashi and Guy went to their teams, leaving teammate quiet as they just stood there not even talking with each other. The news of Rock Le's attack was still on their minds. So, who's up to a little sparring session? Narudo asked, trying to change the topic. The rest of the team just looked at him with a smile on their faces. Okay, I'll spar with you just to make sure that you won't be the laughing stock of the Genon exam when you walk out the stadium with a loser print out to your forehead," Ka said, which made Nar smirk as if, "Let's see you try. I bet you won't even lay a single finger on me." Nar joked. He saw the young Inuzuka and his dog Akamaru form the Jizen Buchanan, making an exact replica of the dog user. Meanwhile, Karina and Hinata were watching the whole ordeal. They both had the same thought running to their heads, which only stated, "Boys, Karinai and Hinata, they just sat at the log and watched how Narut duded all KBA's attack. Now they're seeing Nar on the offense while Ka was on the defense. Ka was trying to move as fast as he could, but Nar was like everywhere. He stopped just when Narut punched this tree, but from what he saw, it was beyond Naruto's power. The tree was cut in half, making it fall. Kiba was thankful that Akamaru was there to push him out of the way. Ka was still on the ground while Akamaru changed to his original form. He was still looking at Narut, who was standing on the ground, staring at his right hand. Both Karinai and Hinata walked to both Jennins and asked if they were all right. They two saw just how Narut managed to make that tree fall down with just one punch. The three of them were thinking, "What if Ka was that tree? Are you all right?" They heard Nar ask. I'm fine. Wow. Nar, how did you do that? Ka asked. I don't know. Nar said once again with I don't know speech. You know Narut? Ka said. Everybody was looking at the young Inuzuka as if telling him to continue with what he was saying which he did. You are so full of surprises, Ka added. I guess I am he. Nar said as he scratched the back of his neck. The training teammate went through varied from jingjutsu, ninjutsu, tai jutsu, and tactical training as well. Most of the time they discussed about jutsu and tactics since that's where Karinai mostly specialized that. And sometimes she let Narut teach some ninjutsu and taiutsu. Even Karinai was listening as well whenever Nar was the one teaching. Hiba and Hinata took noticed the things happening to their sensei and to their teammate for the past few weeks. They were currently listening to Nar who was explaining something about Katanjutsus. And then there they saw their sensei listening attentively to their temporary sensei. But then again, they just have to shrug it off since they both had to listen as well. That's about it, Nar said. He looked at his temporary students. He noticed a couple of things. One, Ka and Hinata were looking at him, then to Karinai. And two, Karinai was looking at him. What time is it? Nar asked. It's almost4 to 11. Hinata replied. The moment she realized what she had said, all three Jennins were in panic, even Karinai too. But she just simply let her cool take over. We're going to be late. The three Jennins shouted in response. How come none of you noticed the time? Narut asked. But when he saw all three looked away, including Karinai, he just sighed and said, "Oh, never mind. Best way to get there on time is to fly." "Come on, Nar." Ka said, "You planned this, didn't you?" Nar asked more like stated as he eyed the said dog user. "No, I didn't. It just went through my mind." Ka said fine, "Gi Bushin, no jatsu," Narut said. Soon there were three Nar. None knew who the real Naruto was. They just flew past all of the training ground. They managed to get to the part where the referee introduced himself. The said referee stopped when everyone including him was looking at the newcomers. A slash in who wouldn't look at a fancy entrance. Any the spectators noticed there were three winged Narutos. The first two landed and they both let go the ones they were carrying, namely Hoga Hinata and Inuzuka Kiba. Once the third Narut landed, the first two Narutos dissipated. Now, wasn't that fun? Well, unlike the first time he Narut said as he let go of Karinai, Karinai, however, could swear there were people looking at her. She just looked calm as if no one was staring at her, which there was. We could start with a few numbers of Jennins, Chunans, Junans, and some villagers as well. She just watched Nar as he landed where all the Chunan candidates stood there. Nar saw the other jennins looking at him, namely Narro Shikamaru, who just stated how troublesome, and then looked away. Sabakanagura, who had the look on his face, which stated, "I'm going to kill you kind of look." Sabakunogaro, who had a look on his face, which stated, "What the heck were you doing back up there?" kind of look. Sabakunog Tamari who was just staring at the ground, probably cursing herself for not doing anything. Then there was a Chiha Sasuke who was as stoic as he could possibly be. The referee sighed as he saw the new comr Uzumaki Narut. He just had to show off in front of everybody else. The referee thought as he shook his head several times due to Rock Le's forfeite. The first match Rock Lee versus Nero Shikamaru will be changed. The referee said he looked at the other jennins and pointed out at Sabakunog Tamari. You he said since you're in the waiting list, you're going to fight Narro Shikamaru. What? Tamari said why am I the one who have to fight a girl? Shikamaru said with a bored tone and look on his face. Tamari wasn't pleased at the refereese's decision. She just glared at the lazy shinobi before her. She just watched the other jennins move to where they originally sat before. She could see Narut seated next to his J and sensei. How troublesome. She heard him say the referee was looking between the said Jennins. He could tell the first Jennine was lazy enough to quit the fight while the second jennon was not even interested in fighting the said first genine. He just sighed at the thought. Ready, fight, the referee announced. Both said Jennins were expected to move but none came. They just stood there observing each other. The leaf jennon narrow Shikamaru saw this sand. Jennon Sabakunog Tamari moved this enormous fan from her back. Shikamaru was wondering what this fan's purpose was and yet he noticed that she was standing in a good 20 m 20 m away from him. It only hit him literally when he saw her swung her fan in front of him. Soon there was a gust of wind all over the arena. Some of the tunins and jouians were amazed at the power of that swing. Sabakunog Tamari displayed. You don't have to hide your lazy ass. Jennari shot. She was currently looking for the lazy. Jennon narrow Shikamaru who was currently hiding behind a tree. Troublesome. Shikamaru thought. I don't get it. Where's Shikamaru gone to? Eno asked. He's probably thinking of a way to defeat Tamari's sand. Narrogo said, "Nah, he'll quit the fight, I tell you." Chi said as he continued to eat his chips. "Wait, you know that sand mean?" Eno asked, which made almost everyone in years shot look at their direction. "What?" Narutu asked. "How did you know her?" Hanarudakin Eno asked, but before Narutu could reply, someone asked. "Another question. Why were you trying to kiss her before Hannerkin?" It was Haruno Sakura. The said Kunowichi was now standing in front of Narutu. Like how many times do I have to tell you Dash? I wasn't going to kiss her. Naruto shot back. Unfortunately, Eno and Sakura weren't the only ones who have ears though. Really, Naruan? Naruto heard someone ask. By the time he turned around, he saw this tokabetu jaanin. Midarashi Anko beside her was in his ukahana. Really, Narutuan? You were not trying to get a kiss from that sanmine? Enko asked as she pointed at the blonde Kunowichi. Meanwhile, the said blonde Kunowichi who was at the arena was now seen as red as a tomato. She was just standing there, not even moving a single inch. Her head was low as she continued to listen to the conversation going on up at the bleachers. I wasn't going to kiss her. Okay. Dash. Naruto shot back again. Enko started to act disappointed. Darn it. Then that means you're not interested in older women. Dash. Enko said Hannah saw Enko's act and she too was acting like she was pouting. He ka wanted to bury himself from the humiliation he was suffering into. If not, he wanted to bury her sister for what was the reason again? Was it his sister was flirting with his teammate/friend? What else could happen next? He asked why didn't say that? Narr said which caused the said older women namely Midarashi Enko in Isuzuka Hannah and Yuikarinai to snap their direction to back to Narutu. So you like older women and Narakuan? Enko asked as she had the said blonde from his seat. I well Naru was about to say another word but something caught his eyes. It was this mysterious black mask they imbued who was currently walking probably on her way to where the Kajis were seating. Unfortunately, Enko took this as another alibi and said, "Don't tell me you like brunettes and Narutuan." Enko said, "What that?" Naruto said with a raised eyebrow. Meanwhile, back with Tamari versus Shikamaru, the said blonde Kunowichi was still waiting for the lazy Jennine to come out from where he was hiding. It has been 10 minutes since Shikamaru started to hide as Tamari thought. Surprisingly, Shikamaru came out. Tamari looked at him with a smirk on her face. He was somewhat hiding behind a shadow and his jacket was nowhere to be seen. Tamari looked at him, but this time her smirk was gone. She could see her opponent forming a slight smile as though she thought, "What's he smiling about?" That Tamari asked herself. Her eyes grew in surprise when she saw Shikamaru kneelled in one knee and formed a single hand seal. She immediately saw this black shadow-like form on the ground. As long as I stay on the side of the lying, your shadow imitation won't reach me. Tamari declared, "A while ago, she would have thought that she had won, but still there's something bothering her." It was Shikamaru's smile/s smirk. Checkmate. Tamari heard Shikamaru say, "Ah, that Tamari thought." Tamari was about to say something, but then she couldn't even open her mouth. She just looked at her opponent. Then suddenly her body starts to mimic the moves Shikamaru was doing. You can talk now. Shikamaru said. Tamari glared at him and said. How? She asked. Your wind carried out my jacket. See? He held out the said jacket, but something caught Tamari<unk>'s eyes. There was a canai tied with the jacket. I simply used its shadow to connect to yours. Shikamaru said. Surprised to say Tamari was impressed. And even the referee was impressed as well. Yada Shikamaru won. Eno said, "Nah, he'll quit this one, I tell you." Shigi said, "Shut up, you fat ass." Eno shot back. That was one mistake Eno have to remember. I'm not fat. I'm just big boned. Chuji shouted. Hey, break it off. I think the referee is going to announce the winner. Nar said miraculously the two stopped bickering but unknown to Nar. Someone was not watching at the declaration but instead that someone was watching/ staring at him as Shikamaru walked. Tamari followed. She still has those glaring eyes on and still Shikamaru didn't care. He just said quit. The referee and even Tamari looked at him with wide eyes. He obviously won but still he quits. Why? Tamari thought she was about to ask why, but Shikamaru beat her up to it. This is just too troublesome. Besides, I don't have enough chakra to continue on, Shikamaru said. Tamari just kept staring at Shikamaru's retreating back. The referee too was staring, but then he remembered that he had to declare the winner. The next fight was with Achia, Sasuke, and Sebakno Kankaro. After several seconds, Sasuke was already at the arena waiting for his opponent, Sebakno. What the heck is going on that Sasuke wondered, but then another churn came to the referee. Sasuke was watching the two as the churnin whispered something to the referee. Sasuke could see the referee's reaction. There was shock, surprise, and disbelief. Then the referee side. Sasuke saw the churnin again, but this time he walked away, leaving the referee and him at the arena due to the forfeite of Sebakno Kankaro. I declare a Chia Sasuke as the winner in this match. The referee announced, but some would have thought that it would be all right since their prodigy won. But then again, no some people wanted to see their prodigy fight. It was really unexpected as Sandame thought. What are we going to do? The referee thought. He called out the churnin from a while ago and said, "Go and tell this to the hokag." Without a second or two, the churnin poofed out, running to where the other kajis were, namely the hokag and the kazikagay. They want to see a sasuke fight death. Sandame Hokag repeated, "Hi, Hokag sama." The churnin replied, "Fine, but after Uzumaki Naruto's fight. Besides, the exam had not yet ended. Am I correct?" The sandame said, "It is such a shame that my son backed down against the Sichi Sasuke." The Kazika gay said, "Sandame just looked back at the Kazika Gay inside. He just continued to watch." The next fight, Uzzumaki Narut versus Sebaknoga. The said competitors were not still at the arena. Back at the bleachers, Narut was still there. He stood up just when the referee started to call out his and Gar's name. From below, he could see Gara with crossed arms staring at him. He was about to fly down, but then someone caught Slash stopped him by the wrist. Good luck. It was Karinai. She slowly let him go. Naruto looked back at his J and sensei, then to his teammates. Before he could proceed at the arena, he casted a small smile and two thumbs up at his teammates and sensei as he activated his wings. But once again, before he could fly down, there was someone seated at his seat. Team 8 could see Naruto's reaction. It was filled with shock, joy, and surprise. They just looked where Nar was currently looking. AI SSS and dash. Nar stuttered. Gez, Naruto [ __ ] you already forgot my name. I just visited you last week or the other week. I can't really remember. Aa acted as if she couldn't see Nar smile. Sensei. Nar promptly hugged the said woman while the others in sight were either shocked or just shocked. "Hey, hey, enough with the hugging. You have a fight to win on. You g my back." Aika said as she tried to push back the said blonde away. "Uh, does my O sensei feels her age?" Nar said, "Are you stating that I'm old Gaki?" That Aika said with a raised eyebrow. "Why are you not?" Nar said with a smirk. Team, I'm only 20 years old. God damn it, Aika shot back as she held Nar by the collar. [ __ ] Nar thought. Watch the strength. Nar whispered repeatedly as he closed his eyes. He waited for an expected whack coming from his former sensei. But surprisingly, it never came. Instead, a small kiss was planted on his cheek. Nar blinked once, if not twice. Good luck, Aika said as she let go of Narut who flew down to the arena. That's Naruto's former sensei. Dash Karina thought as she glanced at the said woman. She forgot the mere fact that Aika was just seated next to her. Meanwhile, back at the arena, Nar landed and still Gara had the grumpy look on his face. "I thought you'd never come down," the referee said. He Nar chuckled as he scratched the back of his head. Uzzumaki san Gara called. Nar looked at him, but this time Naruto's facade changed big time. Garasan. Nar said. The referee looked at the said competitors. There was something different and similar between them. Is it just me or it's getting a little hot in here? Ka said it has begun. Aika said in her mind with a smile. Unknown to Aika. Karina was watching at her. What's she smiling at? Karina wondered. Back at the arena, both opponents were observing each other's weaknesses, if any, though. Ready, fight, the referee declared. He immediately moved out of the way just in case these two started to attack each other. But surprisingly, none came. They just stood there staring with each other. For a good 10 minutes, both competitors were still standing there. It was as if they were statues. What are they waiting for? The referee wondered, but then it just hit him hard. He immediately ran up to the bleachers when he saw something seeping out from both Jennins. The referee was sure that their sand coming out from Subaka Noara's gourd, but from Narut, he wasn't sure if it was flames. Thus, the color of it was blue. This was the first time Karinai seen Narut act like this. She saw her other students who were watching the whole ordeal. They both had to look as if they had seen the whole thing. Tell me, have you two seen Narut like this? Karinai asked in a low voice. Both Anata and Ka just nodded in response. Karinai looked back where Nar was currently standing. It was as if the said blonde was calling out his own chakra from his body while Gar had his sand around his body serving as his defense. It was as if the sand was flowing just like the blue flame Narut had. Then it stopped. The sand came barging in. It formed a 20 ft spike shaped sand which seemed like tentacles came rushing towards Nar. Everybody would have thought that Gar's attack was a sure kill since it was like 20 ft sand with tentacles. By the way, the said attack almost covered the whole arena. Now, everybody wondered how the hell did that sand fit it inside that Jenn's gourd? Or some wondered if that blonde Jennan was still alive. When the after effects of Gar's attack were gone, almost everybody cheered. When they saw Uzumaki Nar standing with his wings activated, there was a certain glow in it. As it flowed from his back and boy with that act, Karinai could swear there were some girls shouting out Naruto's name. What the heck is he thinking? That Karinai thought, is that all you got? That Nar said as he uncovered his right arm. It was like what Aika said. Don't take it off if you want to faint. Now he knew what that joke meant. His right arm was covered with black-like markings that seemed like a black dragon since it swirled around his arm. Then for Naruto's last act, he took off his shirt. After several seconds, there were squeals everywhere coming from the kenojis inside the arena. But then again, Narut ignored it. I guess it's my turn. This is for my friend. I hope you can still remember him once I'm done with you," Nar announced. He literally charged at Gara, who already had his sand formed like a ball and him inside of it. He managed to land a hit on Gar's sand. It was a single punch, but it managed to create a little crater on it, probably making the one inside of it a little shaken. Shaken or not. There was definitely something going on inside of it. Naruto could see an eye like sand figure from above where Gara was currently hiding. What the heck? That Nar thought as if on Q there was a loud boom coming from the west gate. Immediately Kanahan ninjas were definitely alerted but the next thing caught them off guard. Odin started to rain in the whole place. Aika stood up from her seat and formed a set of hand seals and shouted, "Namir, no jutzu." Soon Yensce and villagers started to fall asleep. Only a few was left to fight back against the Odin. Meanwhile, Sandameu was at a tight spot. Before him was his former student, Orochimaru. It looks like you already know of my presence. Saratobi sensei. I have to admit I'm quite impressed. Orochimaru said with a smirk on his face. I just look old. Orochimaru. Don't underestimate me. I'm still your sensei after all. Saratobi said that I doubt. Why won't we settle this in an all-out battle? Orochimaru said, but before Saratobi could reply, Orochimaru immediately charged at the said old man, giving him a continuous series of jabs. But just like what the old man had said, don't underestimate him. In every jab, kick, and punches Orochimaru did, Saratobi always managed to block, if not counterattack his every move. back with Narut and Gar's fight. The said sandame was still inside his barrier. But then Nar noticed that it started to crack. Soon he could see Gara. Yet there was something different in him. The color white from his eyes were gone. It was replaced with black. His green eyes were replaced with brown ones. It was as if he looked like a raccoon. Is he transforming into something? Narudo thought. His answer was about to be answered when two familiar ninjas came in front of him. Gara, go and disengage the next plan. Tamari shouted. Gar didn't reply. He just sprint up to the forest where he could transform freely. Nar, on the other hand, was not going to let Garah go that easily. He was about to run past Tamari and Kangaro, but Tamari's fan prevented him to it. I really don't have enough time for this, so just let me pass. Nar said we were ordered to do this. I'm sorry, Narut Kuan. Tamari said, "Ma, enough with this. He's our enemy for crying out loud. Finish him already." Kangaro said just after Kangkaro said that Nar bring forth his wings. He promptly flew past both sand needs who were quite taken back when they just remembered that Nar can fly. Back with the Jonins at the stadium, some of the Trunins, Jonnins, and Ambius were currently fending off against the Oinines. It was like they just kept on coming and coming non-stop of all the entire ruckus happening inside Kenoha. Some ninjas were staring at a lone figure that was presently standing alone. It was as if the said figure didn't even notice that there were ninjas coming on her way. Haku was about to warn the said woman, but then everybody stopped when they all heard a familiar jetu. Sharia, no jetsu. Aika shouted. Everyone who knew the jetsu looked was surprising their eyes. The last time they've seen the said jetsu, it was being transmitted by Nar back at wave country and his version was rather small than this one. It was definitely a dragon-shaped lightning, but it was bigger than Naruto's. Without a second or two, half of the Odin were dead from where Aayaka stood. She could see a group of Jennins following Nar from behind. A while ago, Heros Sakura managed to dispel the said Genjetsu. She was ordered to awaken any ninja she knew who's capable of fighting against enemy nines. She already awakened three jennants, namely Akihasuk, Inazuka, Kiba, and Abberamed Shino. Currently Aayaka was still watching the said Janine group from where she stood. Yayatnines at the stadium stopped attacking as the Jaan thought but something caught their eyes and still it was Aayaka again but this time she had something similar to Naruto's. She activated her kura tenitsubisa. She looked at a certain elite Jon and Yuiri. You'll go after those jennants. If my nephew got injured, I will swear to God I will make you his personal nurse. Aika commanded. Karinai was about to run, but Kakashi stopped her first. Wait, he said. Karinai saw Kakashi form the set of hand seals and placed his palm at hers and said, "Take this with you." Kakashi said. A thanks. Karinai said as she looked at the small dog seating on her palm. Right palm to be exact. Piece of advice. Don't make Aayaka angry. You don't want to see her angry, I tell you. Kakashi said. You know her? Karinai asked. Details later. You had an order, remember? Kakashi said. After several seconds, Karinai was jumping up at the trees in front of her. Was packing one of Kakashi's dogs. You go after those Jennants. If my nephew Aayaka's words rang to Karinai's head once again. Wait, did she just say nephew Dash? Karinai asked to no one in particular. Did you say something? Packin asked. No, I was just thinking about something. Karinai replied. Then you better stop it for a while. We're getting closer. Packin said. Meanwhile, Sasuke with his cheator was charging at Kangaro<unk>'s puppet. Kurasu. It was like a score they have to settle as Sasuke thought. Now I know why you forfeited at the fight. You were simply afraid of me. Sasuke mocked. He was currently looking at the said Sanin. Take that back, Kangkaro shouted. Sasuke thought it was the real Kankaro, but it was just Kurasu. Kangaro must have sent his voice so that Sasuke couldn't detect where the said Sanin was. "Show yourself," Sasuke demanded. Kangaro would have thought that Sasuke was just looking for him as he gently placed Kurasu at Sasuke's back. Immediately, Kangkaro opened the said puppet with his chakra strings. Kangaro was trying to trap Sasuke inside of Kurasu with success, but that was one mistake he had to learn. Kangkaro could hear some loud creaking sound coming from Kurasu. It was pretty unusual since there was light seeping through the puppet. Kangkaro watched in horror as his puppet Kurasu was shattered into pieces. "What are you without your puppet?" Sasuke asked. "You should give up now?" Sasuke added. Kangkaro sighed as he looked at his damaged puppet. "I give up," Kangaro said, not even looking at the Acha Prodigy. "In the meantime," from where Karina stood, she could see a raccoon-like giant just 5 km away. She sprinted up close to see what was happening. But when she could see almost everything, she couldn't help but to be shocked at the sight. There she could see Haruno Sakura at the tree glued with Gar's sand. Abram Shino and Inuzuka Ka both unconscious at the ground. Then there she saw Sasuke with his panting. He had the look as if he was going to faint. And then there's Narut looking at Sasuke and to the other unconscious Jennins in sight. Can you carry these two? Nar asked. Don't tell me you're going to fight that monster alone. Dash. Sasuke said between pants. Don't tell me you're worried for me. Nar said with a teasing tone. This isn't the right time to joke around Nar. Sasuke said, "Well, I'm not joking. Here, I'll lend you a clone." Nar said as he called out a single clone. The said clone managed to free the pink-haired Kunahichi. "Would you like me to carry Shino for you?" the clone asked. Sasuke just looked at the clone then to the real Narut who flew away fast. Soon, the clone carried Sakura and Shino as he flew past the forest with Sasuke in pursuit. Currently, Narut was staring at the raccoon-like giant before him. He was thinking of the ways. How will he get to fight against this creature? He didn't even know what it was. He remembered the encounter he had with the boss frog. How can I summon him at a time like this? That hi, I guess I have to try then, Nar said in his mind. He formed the needed hand seals, bit his thumb to draw some blood, slammed both of his palms, and shouted, "Cooko's and Ojatsu." Soon, Karina could see a huge puff of smoke from where she stood. Before her were two giants, one was a frog, and the other was a raccoon. "Jeriah, how dare you summon me at a time like this?" "That!" Gamabanto shouted. "Boss, over here!" Nar shouted as he flew up to the Toad's nose. "You! I thought I told you that you can't summon me unless I told you so. That Gamabanto shouted again. Yes, but look over there. Nar replied as he pointed at the giant raccoon in front of them. Chicago. Gamabanto roared out the raccoon's name. That thing has a name. Dash. Nar said in his mind. Hey brat, think of this as your test and your time starts now. Gamabanto said. Whenever you're ready, boss. Nar replied. Try to think of a creature that has claws and fangs and also try to do a little hinge trick for me. Quick, Gamabanto asked. Naruto was thinking of a creature that was suitable for this situation. He was contemplating whether he should use the Kubino Kitsun form for this or something that looked like a dragon, but then he made up his mind. Henge, Narut replied. Soon there was a huge puff of smoke again. The next thing Karina I saw could possibly made her fall from the tree. Something came out from the puff of smoke. It was like a creature in the mythical stories. This was the first time she'd ever seen a dragon at its full height and power. Gamabanto in his dragon form charged at Shikaku. Gamabanto swirled around like a snake around the giant raccoon as he clawed on its neck. If someone could see them, they would have thought that the dragon was winning from the fight. But then again, Shikaku was one of the tailed beasts just like the Kubino Kitsun. Meanwhile, back at the stadium, Aika had ordered some of the shinobies to follow her to where their hokage was fighting against this Kazik or Oro Shamaru up to the roof. Everyone noticed this purple colored barrier and these formed masked shinobies that seemed to be a pillar of this barrier. They could see from the inside their hokag forming this jingjitsu, the bringer of darkness. Some thought that their kag will win while some thought that their fight will not end soon. But then again, they've noticed. Oro Shamaru formed a set of hand seals and something started to seep out from the ground. At first, it was a coffin. Then another coffin followed. Saratobi already knew what Oro Shamaru was trying to do. He immediately stopped the next coffin by the minute. Everybody behind the barrier started to worry for their hokag who was now facing against his former senses, the shame and the nighting. If Saratobis sama didn't stop the last coffin, he would have come face to face against Minato Kuan. I have to do something against this barrier and fast. Aika thought. She noticed those four shinobies on each side of the barrier. Aika silently motioned both Kakashi and Guy to the northwest, Haku and Asama to the northeast, Yuga to the east, while Zabusa to the west. Aika ordered them to neutralize those four shinobies at all costs and fast while she had to do something. Oro Shamaru was watching both former Hokag's fight against his former sensei, who had already called out his summon, Enma. As Oro Shamaru continued to watch on, he noticed the barrier was starting to fade. Kuso Oro Shamaru started to curse himself. He had to do his plan or his revenge against this village he once called home. He noticed that Saratobi was on a tight spot. Literally, he was tied against a tree by the showame. Oro Shamaru dismissed both Kagz, leaving him in a tied Saratobi alone. Oro Shamaru. Saratobi started. Sure, don't speak. You're just wasting your energy. Let me end it for you. Oro Shamaru said as he brought forth his sword, the kusenagi from his mouth. He was able to stab through Saratob's shoulder. Without content, Oro Shamaru did the same with Saratob's right and left leg. Blood was already spilling out from Saratob's body. The sight was already sadistic. And yet Oro Shamaru was still smiling about it. He wanted to make Saratobi suffer as he slashed through his body. He wanted to hear him scream in pain and in help. He slowly pulled up the Kusenagi from his limb. Saratobi could see where Oro Shamaru would stab him next. Orochi Saratobi started once again hoping that Oro Shamaru would listen, but no. I thought I told you not to speak. Oro Shamaru yelled. Saratobi was almost impaled by his former students next action, Oro Shamaru raised up the Kusenagi, ready to stab Saratobi at the chest, Saratobi, who was unable to defend himself. He was still thinking about Kohaa, the villagers, his past students, his past sense, his son, his grandson, his successor, the ninjas of his home village, and then Kenoha again. Saratobi closed his eyes and waited for his fate being pulled away by his own student. Surprised to say he saw black as in black wings. Before him was Aika shielding him from Oro Shamaru<unk>s attack. Surprised to Oro Shamaru, Aika said in a teasing tone. But before Oro Shamaru could reply, he was immediately wrapped by Aika's wings, something that the shinobies hadn't seen before. Saratobi, who was still conscious, saw how Aika managed to incapacitate his former student, Oro Shamaru. After several seconds, Aika let Oro Shamaru go. He was panting hard. Oro Shamaru was about to cast a jutzu, but he noticed he couldn't. What did you do to me? Dash. He shouted on his knees. Aika smirked from where she stood. She didn't even reply. She just walked in front of the snake sand and held him by the head. She looked at his snake-like eyes. Saratobi was watching from where he sat. He wasn't sure what was Aika doing, but he was sure it wasn't pretty. As though he thought Aika was looking at Oro Shamaru in the eyes, but once she let go of her former sensei. Oro Shamaru passed out and so is Aika currently with Narut and Gamabanto versus Gara and Shikaku. Karinai was still watching from the distance and there she saw Naruto on top of Gamabanto in dragon form still fighting against Sabakano Gara with Shikaku in his ultimate defense form. Brad, this is getting nowhere. You have to wake that Tanuki so that Shikaku will be forced back. Do it fast, Gamabanto commanded. With that said, Narut flew down to where Ga stood. He was about to land a hit on him, but Shikaku's sand got him. First, Narut was forcing himself out with the use of his wings. But the more he struggled, he could feel a part of his wings started to crack. It was like the bones in his wings started to crack from the pressure being emitted by Shikaku's/Gara's sand. Soon he felt that the pressure was starting to fall down, but then he noticed that he was covered by tongue-like barrier. And then there he saw Gamabanto holding him. Gamabanto tossed Nar at the air and said, "Don't fail this time, you brat." Nar was thrown to the air, but noticed that Gamabanto suddenly poofed away. He was close to Gar and Shikakuan started to attack him just like a while ago, but Nar charged up his chakra through his eyes, forming a jingutsu around his body, making himself invisible. As Karina thought, she was still watching the whole fight. From the distance she could see Narut landed a hit on that sand nin sabaka noggera Shikaku screamed as he felt that he was losing control over his vessel and that Gara was starting to rouse up. Naruto landed on a nearby tree just close to where Karina was standing just a while ago. He noticed that the earth was starting to shake as he watched Shikaku fall down and turn into a sand. Nar he heard someone called out. Naruto turned around and saw his Jon and sensei Yui Karina standing 20 meters away from him. But then the earth started to crumble again. He immediately flew through her direction and carried her as fast as he can, making sure to get away from what was about to happen. Karina was about to say something, but she suddenly noticed that their flight was somewhat starting to slow down. And something unexpected happened as they land. Narut started to fall unconscious, but he managed to take the fall instead. From where they landed, they couldn't see Shikaku anymore, but instead they could see the kahhage from the distance. Narut was a little droopy, but Karina was telling him not to fall asleep since he was going to get a concussion or something. Naran, wake up. You have to stay awake. Nerk and Karina shouted his name when she saw he was starting to fall asleep again. Karina decided to carry him since they were close to the gate and hopefully they could get help from there. Narin, are you awake? Karina asked making sure that Narut doesn't fall asleep. Hi, Nar whispered. His eyes were focused at the floor since his head was low. He noticed that he was being carried/ semi-drag since the floor he was looking at was moving. Sensei, I feel so sleepy. Narkin, you have to stay awake. You hear me? That narin Karina said she noticed that his weight doubled slightly. She slowly dropped him on the ground and on Naruto's face was a smile. A small smile he carried for her. Naran Karina shook the said Jennine but he didn't stir or something. Narkin she tried again but nothing happens. Narkin she said again. No reply. Karinai shook him again. Once again nothing happens.
