52A/N: Hey, readers! I really like the concept I created so I'm juggling three stories right now while my other works are on hiatus. So the three characters going right now are an Uchiha Naruto, a Soul Reaper Naruto, and a Beast Monarch Naruto lol. I love it! Lots of positive reviews so I'll make sure to keep them going!
Chapter 2: Savagery
As he walks in the classroom, everyone stares at the imposing form of Naruto. At 6'4", he's the tallest in the class. Well built, tan skin unique to the village, and a fiery red untamed mane that goes the length of his back, he is an impressive figure that intimidates the boys and captures the heart of the girls in the classroom. In the corner of the room, he sees the figure of a dark haired boy with hair similarly shaped to the rear end of some of his spies. The feathery ones. He smirks discretely. 'His chakra reminds me of Mikoto's. Is he her son?' Mikoto had told Naruto that day about both of her sons and that he was the age of her youngest. He must be the one she mentioned.
Naruto turns to Iruka and reaches into his trench coat. Pulling out a scroll, he walks over and hands it to Iruka. Iruka reads the contents and nods. He says, "I see. Welcome to the class, Naruto. Please take a seat." Naruto nods. He understands that the people here may not recognize him. Their parents must have hid his existence and Iruka may have only known him by "Demon Brat" and the like. He doesn't blame them.
As he takes his seat beside a dark haired girl with pale violet eyes, he senses hostile intent behind him. 'He must be Tsume's problem child, Kiba. The animals have been telling me how short tempered and arrogant he is. This will be entertaining.' Kiba taps Naruto's shoulder.
"Hey. Asshole. Why'd you take the seat next to my girl, huh?" Naruto chuckles as he sees the girl flinch. He sees that the girl doesn't have any sort of romantic feelings for Kiba. He turns to her and says.
"My name is Naruto. What's your name, miss?" The girl blushes but answers.
"M-My name is Hi-Hinata. N-N-Nice to meet you, N-Naruto-kun." Naruto nods.
"I see. Are you involved with the dog behind me?"
Kiba grits his teeth at the insult. "Oi!" he jumps to his feet.
Hinata shakes her head. Naruto sighs as Kiba throws a punch at him. He stops Kiba in his tracks by casting his telekinesis on him. Naruto launches Kiba to the back of the room, pinning him to the wall and leaving a crater. The class goes wide eyed at the display of power. Even Iruka is speechless. Naruto simply gets up and walks to him. Kiba struggles but is powerless at the unseen force Naruto is using to immobilize him. Naruto stops in front of him. Looking at him and exuding killing intent potent enough to cause him to relieve himself in his pants, Naruto smirks.
Naruto grabs Kiba's face and in a voice cold enough to freeze water, he says, "Now listen here, mutt. I'm not in the mood to play games with you. I won't hesitate to rip your head off, understood? But you're ignorant. So I'll give you a chance. Don't fuck with me. You are NOT the alpha. I am. So don't try challenging me. You'll die."
After Naruto makes his point, he releases his telekinesis, letting Kiba drop to the floor. He gets up and runs out of the class and back home. The class stares at Naruto as he goes back and takes his seat. Iruka, remembering the contents of the scroll, simply continues on with the class.
As Naruto sits, Hinata glances quickly at Naruto and looks away, blushing. "Th-thank you, N-Naruto-"
"I didn't do that for you, Hinata. He was just annoying. If he bothers you again, you'll need to take care of it yourself. Show him your own strength, otherwise he'll just keep going. I wouldn't put it past him to try to rape you." Hinata's eyes widen at Naruto's words. "If you don't want that to happen, get strong enough to stop it. You won't make it as a kunoichi if you keep going like this." Hinata looks down. She's always known that she was timid and weak but for someone to say it the way he has... Hinata wasn't going to let that happen. She clenches her fists, a new determination in her heart. Naruto smirks, happy his words resonated with her.
After Naruto nearly died of boredom during his first day at the academy, Naruto decides to head to the Uzumaki compound to check out his new living space. He was astounded when he first laid eyes on the place.
It was enormous, two stories high that extended outwards greatly. Naruto estimated it to be at least 12,000 sq/ft. A beautiful garden complete with it's own training ground and a private waterfall and lake on the property. It's surrounded by trees and forested area. It gave Naruto a very good home feeling.
When he walks in he finds his two beloved mates waiting for him on a sofa in one of the sitting rooms. He grins, showing off his fangs. "You two weren't waiting on me, were you?" he says playfully. Kurumi and Anko smile and walk over to Naruto, both kissing him passionately and exploring his powerful muscles with their hands. Naruto wraps his arms around their waists. He lifts them both in his arms and says, "Let's christen this place, shall we?" Naruto leads his lovers upstairs. Naruto and his lovers enjoyed an evening of passionate lovemaking.
After several hours of hot sweaty sex with his two lovers, Naruto senses a presence appear at his door. He walks to the entrance as he hears a knock on the door. Opening it, he reveals a purple haired ANBU with a cat mask. She stumbles backwards a bit at the sight of Naruto. She doesn't say anything for a moment. "Is something the matter?" he asks.
"U-umm, the Hokage requires your presence." she stutters out, averting her eyes. Naruto smirks.
"Are you sure you don't want to take a few more glances? I don't mind." he teases.
"P-Put some clothes on!" she shouts before shunshining away. Naruto laughs before heading upstairs. He gets dressed and kisses his lovers, telling him he'll return shortly. He slashes a space in the bedroom, opening a gate in the form of a claw mark. Stepping inside, he appears in front of the Hokage's desk, shocking the old man and causing his ANBU guards to jump on the offensive. "STOP!" The Hokage shouts. The ANBU halt their attack. The Hokage stands. "Welcome, Naruto. We have business with the council." Naruto nods as the Hokage leads him to the council chambers.
As soon as Naruto makes his appearance, the council members burst out in murmurs and whispers. Naruto looks around the room and notices Mikoto in the Uchiha clan seat. He immediately smiles at her. She blushes, causing him to mentally chuckle. He also notices Inuzuka Tsume and she returns his gaze. He winks at her, causing her to crack a feral grin. Naruto is amused. 'Inuzuka Tsume, hm? She's a good woman as well. I wouldn't mind claiming her as my own.'
Naruto gazes around the room and notices the presence of some unsavory figures. He turns to the Hokage. "I thought you disbanded the Civilian Council."
Hiruzen nods. "I did. But I reformed them to quell the civilian unrest. I wanted to prevent a civil war." Naruto sighs.
"So what's this about, old man?" the Hokage steps forward.
"This council meeting is now in session!" the Hokage declares. The council ceases their murmuring. One civilian councilman asks, "What was this meeting called for, Hokage-sama?"
"I called this meeting to announce the return of an important figure to this village as well as the reform of a powerful clan that was lost to the annals of time."
Nara Shikaku speaks up. "And who is he, Hokage-sama?" Gesturing to Naruto, he answers.
"This is Uzumaki Naruto. After being left in the Forest of Death for 9 years, he has returned and will now claim his birthright!" the Shinobi Council bursts out in happy murmurings while the Civilian Council is outraged.
"Impossible! That demon was killed!"
"He deserves to die! Execute him right this minute!"
The Shinobi Council glare at the councilmen who shout those statements but are stunned by what happens next. The Hokage sighs, knowing what was going to happen.
Naruto disappears from beside Hiruzen and appears behind one of the councilmen. He drives a hand through his chest and then grabs his face, tearing his head clean off. He then appears beside the other councilman and grabs him by his throat, lifting him out of his seat. Naruto opens his mouth, revealing his sharp fangs. He lets out a spine-chilling roar before biting the man's face off. He then throws his faceless body on the table, letting the others witness his twitching before going completely limp. Naruto chews a bit before spitting out the parts he doesn't want. He then calmly walks down to Hiruzen's side. Hiruzen hands him a cloth to wipe his face and hands with. Tsume smirks at the display. 'That was hot.'
"If anyone else has anything disrespectful to say about me, say it. Just know that you'll suffer the same fate." The civilian council goes completely silent, making the shinobi side smirk. Naruto then turns to the shinobi side. "I'm happy to see each of you once again. I know how much you all have tried to help me over the short time I was in the village. Most of you tried to adopt me but every clan present helped me. It's this damned civilian council and their misguided views that made my life hell. As much as I wish to slaughter all of you, I won't unless given a reason to." He glares at the civilian council as do the shinobi side.
One civilian grows courageous. "B-But that's the kyuubi incarnate! We must kill it before-" she doesn't get the chance to finish before the cat-masked ANBU from earlier beheads her.
The Hokage speaks up, as he was the one who ordered the council member to be executed. "I will not tolerate any disrespect towards Naruto! Any who call for his death from here on out shall be executed!" The council members gulp in fear. The shinobi side chuckle at their despair.
The Hokage turns his attention back to the Shinobi side. "Continuing on, Naruto will be claiming his inheritance. Being that he is the child of Uzumaki Kushina and Lord Fouth, Namikaze Minato, he will also be taking the council seat as the head of both clans."
"Impossible! How dare you spread those lies about our hero, Lord Fourth! That monster is not-" Two claws tear through his chest cavity, lifting him up from his seat. Naruto proceeds to bisect him down the middle with his bare hands, causing many of the remaining Civilian Council members to vomit or faint. Even the Shinobi side is a bit disturbed by his... creativity.
Inoichi speaks up. "Lord Hokage. If I may ask, what has Naruto been doing these past nine years. It's obvious that he is very powerful at the moment so have you made him a jounin?"
The Hokage shakes his head. "No. Naruto is a genin as of this moment. He expressed his desire to be closer to others his age since he was deprived of that chance by some ignorant fools who couldn't see that he and the kyuubi were two different beings." The Shinobi Council glare at the Civilians for this. The shinobi clans have began harboring a disdain for the civilians and their ignorance. First was their treatment of Mitarashi Anko, a very likable yet eccentric person. None of the shinobi clans harbored any ill will towards her. All the hatred she received was from the civilians. And next was Naruto. The shinobi clans understood his burden as a jinchuuriki. They did all they could to help him since he carried such a heavy responsibility by containing a powerful chakra being inside of him. Yet all their efforts to assist Naruto were somehow blocked by the council thanks in part to Danzo. Danzo wanted to use the boy as a weapon and by allowing the civilians to continue their abuse of the boy, it increased his chances of getting his hands on him. The rift between the shinobi clans and the civilians grows steadily each passing day. Something Naruto could sense.
"As for the second part of your question, only Naruto could answer that question." Hiruzen leaves the floor to Naruto. Naruto steps forward.
"For the past nine years, I was in the Forest of Death. As horrific as the Forest of Death is, it was actually much safer for me there, ironically. I learned many things there. How to hunt, how to survive, how to use chakra, I even adapted more bestial qualities such as claws and fangs, enhanced senses sharper than those of a ninken, bestial strength and speed, an extremely tough body, powerful healing, and the ability to communicate with animals." The last part grabbed the attention of Tsume.
"You can communicate with all animals?!" she shouts. Naruto nods.
Shikaku asks a question. "Are these traits... hereditary?"
Hiruzen speaks up, to the surprise of Naruto. "Yes they are. I already had a test done when he told me about his new abilities." Naruto narrows his eyes at the old man. He never had a test done but understands what he's doing. He sighs.
Shikaku nods. "Then I propose that Naruto enters into the CRA. From what we know, even if his abilities are similar to the Inuzuka clan, bloodlines are an extremely valuable asset to the village. The Nara clan will support Naruto and his clan in any way he needs."
"The Hyuuga clan will also support Naruto and his clan."
"The Uchiha clan will also support Naruto and his clan."
"The Yamanaka clan will also support Naruto and his clan."
"The Akimichi clan will also support Naruto and his clan."
"The Inuzuka clan will also support Naruto and his clan."
The Hokage also speaks up. "The Sarutobi clan will also support Naruto and his clan."
Naruto looks around the room at the people who openly voiced their support of him and his clan. He chuckled, knowing he was right to come back for these clans. "Thank you all. The Uzumaki-Namikaze clan will support each and every one of your clans in return for your support."
The clan heads smile at Naruto, genuinely happy to see him back again. Hiruzen speaks up. "That is all for today's meeting. Dismissed! ANBU! Find someone to clean up the mess as well."
•••
(timeskip 4 months)
Naruto felt relatively annoyed the past four months. He realized that the Hokage though he was doing him a favor by pulling the strings and manipulating the academy scores. Apparently, the old man thought it would please Naruto by automatically making him the Rookie of the Year. Seriously? He didn't even do anything and he scored full marks in each class. Again, this annoyed Naruto greatly.
So, without much effort, Naruto became a genin! Hooray! No bastards tampering with the scores! Oh wait, they did tamper with the scores. So here Naruto is, a pissed off Beast Monarch ready to rip someone's throat out. At least a couple of things went right for him over the past four months. Kiba stopped trying to challenge him for one thing. And another thing was that when he went to try to harass Hinata about a month ago, the once timid pale eyed girl beat him like he owed her money. That was a surprise. He smirked. The girl obviously had feelings for Naruto and he knew that. Now as for if he is going to act on them? Well, he admits that for a 16 year old girl, she was hot. Then again, so was that Ino girl. Even though he himself was 16, he prefered older women. Yeah, like Mikoto or that idiot Kiba's mother, Tsume. Hmm, but he might be willing to give those two a chance.
The door to the classroom opens and Iruka walks in, snapping Naruto out of his thoughts. He clears his throat. "First off, I'd like to congratulate you all on becoming genin. Now it's time to announce the team placements for this year's graduates. Team 1... Team 7 will be Hyuuga Hinata, Uchiha Sasuke, and Uzumaki Naruto. Team 8 will be Haruno Sakura, Inuzuka Kiba, and Aburame Shino. Team 9 is still currently in circulation. Team 10 will be Yamanaka Ino , Akimichi Choji, and Nara Shikamaru. Good luck." Iruka walks out the classroom.
Deciding to give his teammates a chance, he strikes up a conversation. "So why don't we all get to know each other better, hmm?" Hinata and Sasuke turn to him. Hinata decides to go first.
"A-Ano... I'm honestly not sure I'll make a good kunoichi... Even though you motivated me to get better, Naruto-kun, I'm still not sure. I don't like fighting or hurting people. I enjoy flower pressing and tea ceremonies. I-I may be a nervous wreck but I promise I'll carry my own weight!" Naruto smiles at her. Even if he's a bloodthirsty Beast Monarch, he can appreciate a good woman when he sees one. Hinata is a good woman.
He turns to Sasuke. "How about you, Uchiha?"
Sasuke hesitates for a moment. "Well there's not much to say. I like training and spending time with my family. I also like hanging out with my friends and relaxing. My dream is to be a better shinobi than my brother. I also want to have a nice family of my own." Naruto smiles again. He wonders if Sasuke would have turned out to be this good of a guy if Itachi did end up killing off the Uchihas. What kind of asshole would he be if he let that happen? Like honestly, what kind of asshole makes a guy like Itachi murder his family? Hmmmmm?
Naruto chuckles. "Well I guess it's my turn. I like nature and animals. I love fighting and I'm always looking for someone to give me a workout. I also like spending time with my lovers and making love to them. I wouldn't mind having a large family and a lot of kids. But my true goal is to restore the home of my family and pay back some... old debts." Hinata and Sasuke look at Naruto in astonishment.
"Y-You have lovers, N-Naruto-kun?" Hinata asks, worried.
Naruto nods. "I do. But I always have room for more, you know." he says with a wink, causing Hinata to develop a massive blush. "I have two. Both are very strong and beautiful women. And that's what I desire. Strong and beautiful women. Women who make men bow to them." Hinata ponders his words while Sasuke nods.
Suddenly, the doors open and in walk the jounin sensei. A spiky haired man with a face mask and an eye covered by his hitaiate speaks up. "Team 7, meet me on the roof." He shunshins away. Team 7 stands. While Sasuke and Hinata head to the door, Naruto watches them and smirks. They look at Naruto in confusion.
Sasuke speaks up. "You coming, Naruto?" Naruto chuckles. Turning, he swipes the air with a claw and opens a gateway. Stepping inside, the gateway closes, leaving the other genin and the jounin stunned.
Stepping out of the gateway, Naruto finds the spiky haired jounin wide eyed at the display. 'Hokage-sama told me to pick them up on time so that I'll see something interesting. He even threatened to demote me. I guess he had a point. So this is Naruto...'
"That's an interesting ability you have, Naruto." he says.
Naruto chuckles. "I'm an interesting guy, grey-head."
He narrows his eye. "I prefer silver."
Naruto snorts. "Whatever."
The door opens to reveal Hinata and Sasuke. "Naruto! What kind of power was that?" Sasuke asks.
Naruto shrugs. "It's a beast thing."
Kakashi is suspicious of this. 'We weren't told anything about Naruto that explained his changes. I guess I'll have to find out for myself.'
Clapping twice, Kakashi get's their attention. "Well, now that we're all gathered, how about we start with introduction? I'll go first. My name is Hatake Kakashi. I like having good quality reading material. I dislike traitors and those who abandon their teammates. My hobby is reading. My dream...? Hmm. To lead a team that doesn't make the same mistakes I did." Sasuke and Hinata are trying to understand what he means. Sasuke is wondering why teammates mean so much to him. Although Naruto doesn't really care. "You first, Hyuuga."
Hinata steps forward. "My name is Hyuuga Hinata. I like cinnamon buns, flowers, books, and my family. I dislike stereotypes and people who judge others prematurely. My hobby is reading, flower pressing, and training. My dream is to unite the branch and main familes of the Hyuuga clan and to have a large family of my own with the man I love."
Kakashi nods. "A good introduction. You next, Uchiha."
Hinata steps back while Sasuke steps forward. "My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I like my family and my village. I dislike traitors and those who selfishly hurt others to gain more power for themselves. My hobbies are spending time with friends and family, reading, and training. My dream is to have a large family of my own and help my brother lead our clan."
Kakashi, Hinata, and Naruto smile at Sasuke's introduction. "A very good introduction, Sasuke. I'm sure you will become one of the greatest Uchihas to ever live. Next up, the redhead." Naruto smirks.
"Wise ass." Kakashi eye smiles. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I like fighting and spending time with my lovers. I hate the people who tried to kill me for something I had no control over. My hobbies are the same as my likes. My dream is to rebuild the home of my family."
Kakashi narrows his eyes at Naruto. 'What could he mean? I can understand hating the people who tried to kill him as a kid but what does he mean by rebuilding the home of his family?' He clears his throat. "A good introduction from the three of you. Now, on to other business. You three aren't officially genin yet." He gauges the expressions of the team. None of them are surprised. 'Well Sasuke and Hinata come from a shinobi clan so I guess their families explained it to them. But Naruto grew up in the forest of death. He shouldn't know about the teamwork test so why isn't he surprised?'
"You three have one more test before you're officially a team. But a friendly warning: you have a 1 in 3 chance of passing. We meet at training ground 7 at 9:00am. Don't be late. And also, don't eat. You'll get sick." Kakashi then leaves via shunshin.
Naruto speaks up as the team starts to leave. "Don't listen to him. Eat a proper breakfast because you'll need your energy." Hinata and Sasuke look at Naruto in confusion.
Sasuke speaks up. "But sensei told us not to eat."
Naruto chuckles. "Come on. You're a shinobi, aren't you? What shinobi in their right mind would not eat breakfast? We depend on energy to survive. He said that to trick us. Don't believe him." Naruto turns and opens up a gate with his claw. Stepping inside, the gate closes, leaving his teammates to ponder his words.
•••
The next day, Sasuke and Hinata are talking while waiting at training ground 7. Suddenly, a gate opens in front of them and Naruto steps through. Sasuke and Hinata still aren't used to that. He takes a look at them and then grins, revealing his sharp fangs. "I see you both took my advise seriously. Good." Sasuke and Hinata smile and nod. Suddenly, Kakashi appears in a shunshin across the training ground from them. He is holding two bentos. Opening them, he lets the aroma of the freshly cooked meat waft towards them. None of them react. Kakashi narrows his eyes.
"None of you followed my instructions to not eat." he says in a commanding tone.
Naruto smirks. "What kind of shinobi skips their breakfast, One-eye? That sounds stupid."
Kakashi doesn't answer. He sighs after a moment. "Your task is to take these two bells from me. You each need a bell to pass this test. You will have three hours to do so." he says, pointing to two bells hanging from his hip.
Sasuke and Hinata look at one another in confusion while Naruto smirks. Sasuke then asks, "But sensei, there's only two bells there." Kakashi chuckles.
"Exactly. Whoever doesn't have a bell will be sent back to the academy." Hinata gasps and covers her mouth in shock while Sasuke grits his teeth and clenches his fists, narrowing his eyes at Kakashi.
"It's 9:00 right now. Come at me with the intent to kill. You all have 3 hours. Go!" Sasuke and Hinata scatter, hiding in the trees while Naruto simply stands in place, grinning at Kakashi. Kakashi eyes Naruto as well, strangely uncomfortable at the newly minted genin. "Aren't you going to hide, Naruto? Or are you going to attack me head on foolishly?" Naruto chuckles. Discarding his trench coat, he cracks his neck and flexes his claws.
Naruto says, "The intent to kill, hmm? That's the foolish idea. I won't come at you with the intent to kill, One-eye." Kakashi narrows his eyes at Naruto, sweating slightly.
"And why is that, Naruto?" he asks.
Naruto looks directly at him. "Because you won't survive if I did." He disappears in blinding speed as Kakashi's eye widens. He leaps out the way just in time to dodge a powerful punch that shatters the ground where he was standing. Kakashi realizes that he can't take Naruto lightly. 'That punch was just as powerful as Tsunade-sama's.' He thinks. He raises his hitaiate, revealing a 3 tomoe Sharingan. Sasuke sees this.
"If he has a Sharingan, he must have had it transplanted. Did he steal it?" Sasuke asks himself, activating his own Sharingan, a fully matured one as well, to watch the fight.
"Oooh the Sharingan. Before we continue, care to explain how you got your hands on that?" Naruto asks, yanking his hand out of the ground.
Kakashi answers. "A close friend and teammate. During the Third Great Shinobi War, he was dying and gave me his one good eye. I carry it now as if he was battling with me."
Naruto nods. "A good answer. Your friend would be proud." Kakashi chuckles.
"Thanks. Surprisingly wise words coming from you."
Naruto smirks and then disappears again. Kakashi dodges the attack as it barely misses his head but Naruto is on him. He doesn't let up as he throws a flurry of strikes, not using his full speed but keeping Kakashi on the backpedal. 'Shit! What is this speed?! I can't counter and I can barely dodge!'
Kakashi slightly loses his balance amid the vicious combinations and Naruto sends a punch to his chest. Kakashi barely gets his arms up to block it. The impact makes Kakashi's arm go numb and he skids backwards. Kakashi pants as the Sharingan continues to eat away at his chakra. He sees Naruto smirking and grits his teeth.
Flashing through hand seals, he shouts, "Katon: Great Fireball Jutsu!" Kakashi fires a massive fireball at Naruto. Naruto simply grins and swipes the fireball with his claw, slicing it and dissipating the jutsu. Kakashi's eyes widen.
"Is that the best you can do, One-eye? I'm not impressed." Kakashi grits his teeth beneath his mask.
In the trees spectating the battle, Hinata and Sasuke are in awe of Naruto's power. They both knew Naruto was strong but they can't believe that their classmate is toying with their jounin sensei.
Naruto's claw begins to glow a deep red. He slashes, sending powerful energy waves towards Kakashi at frightening speed. He barely dodges, though a slash catches his leg, injuring him. He looks on as the attack tears through the forest behind him. His leg is hurting. He decides to retreat into the forest to buy some time.
Naruto laughs. "Running like a coward, Kakashi?! How disappointing! But you forget! The forest is my home! You are my prey Kakashi! I will hunt you! And I will find you!"
Kakashi hears this and shudders. He attempts to treat his injured leg. He applies a light medical ninjutsu with the small amount of knowledge he has on the art. He says to himself, "Shit. It still hurts but it's not as bad now. I gotta think of something to take him down though."
Kakashi sweatdrops. 'Wow. I gotta make a plan to take down a genin. A genin.' Granted, Naruto is much stronger than any genin he's ever met. Still, the principle is there.
Naruto, on the other hand, is excited. He gets to hunt something different this time. His teammates appear behind him. "Naruto! Wait up, let's make a plan!" Sasuke says, walking over to him. Naruto turns.
"Not right now. Stay out of this." Naruto disappears. As Kakashi continues to try to make a plan, he feels the tree behind him give way. Turning around, he sees Naruto crouched where the rest of the tree used to be. "There you are, sensei. Done playing hide and seek?"
Scared, Kakashi jumps, trying to get some breathing room. Naruto unleashes a powerful energy slash with his claw that levels some more of the forest. Kakashi barely dodges but the falling trees became a problem. He tries to dodge as many as he can but a tree falls on him, pinning his right arm. The pain is unbearable but he doesn't scream. He can't give his position away. He hides his chakra, trying to buy time to free himself and get away. Suddenly, he hears a cruel chuckle behind him.
"Well, well, well... this isn't the way I like to catch my prey." Kakashi turns his head to find Naruto crouched on the fallen tree behind him looking down at him, those damned fangs glinting with the sadistic smile on his face and his red mane blowing in the wind. "I'll make this simple. Give me the bells and pass us and I'll let you go. I'll even free your arm. Don't comply and you'll lose that arm. And I'll be the one to take it." Kakashi scowls at Naruto. "Keep looking at me like that and you'll lose that face of yours, sensei."
Kakashi sighs and relents. He reaches down and grabs the bells, tossing them to Naruto. He smirks. "Thanks, bud." He reaches over and grabs the trunk of the fallen tree that pinned Kakashi's arm. He lifts it up and tosses it, all in a fluid one handed motion. Naruto chuckles. "Guess we're officially genin, huh Kakashi." Kakashi still maintains that scowl.
"Tell the rest of your team to meet me at the Hokage's office tomorrow at 8am." Naruto smirks and makes a gate. He heads back to see his teammates and tell them the news. Kakashi grimaces at the pain he's in. He heads directly to the Hokage's office. Oh, he knows the rest of the jounin are gonna give him a whole lot of shit for this.
As Naruto steps out of the gate in front of Sasuke and Hinata, he tosses each of them a bell. "Congrats. We pass. One-eye wants to meet us in the Hokage's office at 8 in the morning."
Sasuke looks at Hinata. "Naruto... while I'm happy we passed, don't you think we should have done this as a team?" he says. "I'm not doubting your power... it just seems like you were doubting us."
Naruto sighs. 'Damn he's such a good kid. Too bad I'm gonna be your new stepdad soon, Sasuke.'
"I didn't mean for it to seem that way. My beast instincts kicked in and I was enjoying the hunt. I'll work with you both more as a team, I promise, but you're gonna need to bear with me. I'm as much of a beast as I am a human."
Sasuke and Hinata smile and nod. "Alright. I'll see you two tomorrow." Sasuke says as he leaves in a shunshin.
As Naruto turns to leave, Hinata stops him. "A-Ano, Naruto-kun!" He stops and turns. "W-Would you like to get something to eat with me?" Naruto smiles.
"Sure, Hinata-chan. How about barbecue?" Hinata smiles and nods. The pair then walk off the training field, heading to a local restaurant to celebrate their newly minted genin status.
TBC
A/N: For the record, no I will not pair Sasuke with Hinata, that just seems wrong. I don't have an established harem but Tsume, Mikoto, and Tsunade are absolute. And maybe Yoshino. Thanks for reading!
