Chapter 1

-Chunin exams, Second Stage, Forest of Death-

Sakura was panicking. I'll protect them...I can't be weak anymore! She thought, her hand shaking with a kunai in her grip.

The three Sound-nin had come for Sasuke's life. The rosette haired girl didn't know the reason why they wanted to kill him, her assumption though was it had something to do with the strange Grass-nin that had attacked them earlier, and bit Sasuke. Naruto was also out, she didn't see what happen all she knew it was aimed at Naruto's stomach and it was strong enough to render him unconscious. I hope they'll be okay...that...woman...did something to both of them... the girl was getting desperate. She had succeeded in knocking out the female Sound-nin, but the two males were simply too much for her. She clung to the desperate hope that someone, anyone would come save her while mentally still curing her weakness If I live through this I'm going to start training more I don't want to be the burden. She dropped her kunai while she was distracted, it long enough for the two Sound-nin to pin her to the ground and render her helpless both looked at her in dark amusement and something else.

"Hey Dosu, let's have some fun with her before we kill her and her teammates, yeah?" Zaku said with a perverted grin. Sakura could only stare at them in horror. The mummified man grunted in agreement, and before she could do anything, Sakura was being pulled down to the ground. A foot planted itself in her back, and she yelled in pain.

"Fine but if we're going to do that let's include Kin for being such a waist," the mummified man stated monotonelessly.

The rosette haired girl froze when the wild haired Sound-nin leaned down and whispered in her ear. "You gave us a lot of trouble. This happened to be my favorite shirt. So I'm going to take it out on your body," Zaku smirked coldly when he felt her start to shake. "Oh yes, we're going to have fun, aren't we pinky?" He sneered as he licking her ear.

Tears started streaming down her cheeks as she felt her shorts being pulled down. So this is it raped and murdered in the confines of my own village...Sasuke-kun...Naruto...please help me… She felt a surge of emotion as she thought of the blonde idiot who worshipped the ground she walked on since they were six as she laid there contemplating she wondered why suddenly she felt the emotion she commonly associated with Sasuke for Naruto. She started to cry harder as she waited for the true horror to pass.

Before she could be violated however, she heard the warm, golden voice of her blonde companion, only laced in anger and rage. "Banshō Ten'in!" Naruto yelled. Sakura's head snapped up when she felt the foot leave her back, and she saw the mummified man Dosu fly into Naruto's outstretched grip, held by his neck. She noticed immediately that her blonde teammate's eyes were different. They were still the same bright blue, except his whole eye was now cerulean and it had a strange rippled to them.

His eyes narrowed at Dosu, who was struggling to get out of his grip. Naruto had awoken to the sounds of Sakura's screams, and when he saw what they were doing to her, he felt a new power that was coursing through his veins. He didn't know how or why, but he already had the instinct to use techniques he had never even heard of before. "There aren't many things I really hate, but traitors and rapist defiantly top the list!" Naruto shifted his gaze to the guy that was still straddling his Sakura-chan. He gave him a death glare which caused him to freeze. "Now, what the fuck do you think you're doing to her?" Naruto yelled his voice filled with malice.

"What does it look like, blondie? After we kill you, we're going to give this pink-haired bitch what she deserves. A good, hard, fu-" Before he could finish his sentence, he was frozen in horror. An insane amount of killer intent washed over him, and he literally felt like he would die at any moment.

"Thanks I need no justification then and you're going to pay for even mentioning that..." Naruto said, as he turned his attention to the guy in his hand. He tightened his grip on his throat, blocking his airway, and placed his other palm on his stomach. He watched curiously as Dosu tried to squirm out of his hold. Naruto snarled, not thinking just glaring at the mummified man he had in his iron grip. This monster was trying to hurt Sakura. Everyone watched in horror as Naruto muttered two simple words. "Shinra Tensei." Naruto said, as a repelling force came out of his palm, hitting Dosu in the stomach. Because of Naruto's grip on his throat, with the force being too great, Dosu's head stayed in Naruto's hand while the rest of his body shot into the forest. Blood sprayed all over Naruto, and he tossed the decapitated head to the side in disgust. He turned his attention to the Sound-nin on Sakura.

Looking into Sakura's jade green eyes and gave her a warm smile for a second before focusing on the wild haired man straddling her, a smile that melted her heart. She knew now she was safe, as relief flooded through her body. Naruto continue to glare at the boy calmly walking up and punching him in the face. The force of the blow knocked Zaku back, and Naruto felt the satisfying crunch of the older boy's jaw crumble underneath his fist.

Naruto whipped out a kunai, focused his palm on the down sound-nin, and uttered "Banshō Ten'in" once again. To the horror of Zaku, he flew right into the path of Naruto's extended kunai, which dug itself deep into his throat. He stared into the eyes of his killer, the anger-filled rippled pattern burned into his memory, as he gurgled out blood dying seconds later.

Naruto dropped the lifeless body to the ground, and turned to their female companion who was slowly waking up. Kin noticed that both her teammates were dead, looking at Naruto in horror drenched in her team's blood. She reached a hand down to her pouch unsure what had occurred but was determined to leave with her life. He nodded slowly, and she quickly tossed him her heaven scroll and running, thanking him for sparing her life.

Naruto calmly stashed the scroll away, and looked at Sakura. He blushed and looked away when she started pulling up her shorts. She cleared her throat, and he looked back, nervously scratching his head. "Are you...okay, Sakura-chan?" He asked, worried. She nodded slowly; it was only then that he started shaking slumping to the ground trying his hardest to wipe away the blood. The rosette haired girl simply took his hands and gently put them around her waist he buried his head into her shoulder and started to sob. "I-I don't know what happened, S-Sakura-chan...when I w-woke up, and h-heard you s-scream, I started p-panicking...but w-when I saw what t-they were trying to d-do to you...I-I snapped..." Naruto choked out, holding her tighter.

"T-thank you Naruto..." She whispered, as the two held each other for the first time she felt safe outside her mother's arms. Why does it feel so warm...so safe...so right…with Naruto, of all people... She mused. Though both were curious about Naruto's new found power, they both simply lay underneath a tree and fell into a deep slumber within each other's arms. Unknown to the two, Team 10 had seen the whole event unfold from the bushes and were about to step in before they saw what Naruto did.

"Well that was..." Shikamaru started, not really knowing what to make of the whole situation. Ino decided to fill in.

"Scary." She stated. Shikamaru had no objections to that, and Team Ten went on their way, leaving an exhausted Team 7 in peace.

A few hours later, Naruto awoke with a start. He opened his eyes, and was still shocked at how his vision had improved with his new, mysterious powers. He noticed something warm on his chest, and looked down to see a mass of pink hair. Naruto blushed deeply and smiled. She fell asleep on me… He pushed a strand of hair out of her face, which caused her to stir.

Sakura's jade eyes slowly flapped open, to see rippled cerulean staring back at her. She smiled warmly before snuggling into her savior. Naruto blushed even more at the contact, but smiled. 'I could get use to this; I hope it's not a one-time thing.

They laid there for a while, before Naruto remembered they were in an exam. "Sakura-chan...we should see if Sasuke-teme is alright and get going...we got both scrolls now, so we can head to the tower..." Naruto whispered. She nodded and pushed herself off the blonde, offering him a hand. He took it, and she helped him up. They walked over to Sasuke, and Naruto knelt down next to him. "What a day..." He mused.

Sakura nodded slowly in agreement. Naruto closed his eyes and sighed. The memories of a few hours ago ran across his mind. He felt bad for killing those two, purely because he didn't feelguilty for killing them. He wondered if he really was a monster. "Sakura-chan...am I...am I a bad person for not feeling remorse for killing those guys?" Naruto asked, not meeting her gaze. She grabbed his hand and squeezed it.

"No, Naruto, you shouldn't. If you didn't save me when you did I don't want to know what would have..." She shuddered at the thought. Naruto returned the squeeze. They sat there in comfortable silence, before Sakura spoke up. "Naruto...have you seen your eyes?"

Naruto cocked his head. "What do you mean?" He asked.

She fumbled around in her pouch, before pulling out a mirror she kept for her primping something she vowed to change more so now after what happened. "Here look at them, they're different." Naruto complied, and looked into the mirror. He gasped at he saw that his eyes were no longer blue seas surrounded by white, but instead were pure cerulean pools rippling from his pupil. Naruto handed back the mirror.

"Um, do you think these eyes are some kind of kekkei genkai I awakened...you know like Sasuke-teme and his sharingan," Naruto thought out loud. Sakura nodded. "Okay so far I have the power to repel and attract anything..," he paused thinking and was surprised he could actually do that. Why does everything feel different? Could it be because of these really cool looking eyes. "I feel different too it's as if that stuff I did is only the tip of the iceberg…you think I should talk to Kakashi-sensei about this?"

"Might be a good idea, let's wake Sasuke up, and then head to the tower," Sakura replied not realizing she dropped the suffix when referring to Sasuke. Naruto smiled but kept that tidbit to himself, and did the only thing he could do. He screamed into the Uchiha's ear.

"HEY! TEME! WAKE UP!" The rosette surprised herself when she giggled at the whisker marked blonde's antics Did I just giggle at Naruto! Sakura blushed turning away from the blonde. Missing Naruto who snapped his head up in shock. Usually she would yell at him for doing anything to remotely Naruto-dobe like to Sasuke.

Said Uchiha woke up slowly. He groan as he sat up, supported by his two teammates, "What happened?" He breathed out. He hissed and held his shoulder in pain.

"Nothing just a weirdo kissed you on the neck, some Sound shinobi tried to rape Sakura-chan and I put the screws to them for it!" Naruto growled.

"What!?" Sasuke shouted glancing at Sakura who looked away for a second.

"You've been out cold for a day, Sasuke-kun. That...thing bit your shoulder, and you were running a fever..." Sasuke shot up and looked at the blonde. He was covered in dried blood that looked like it didn't belong to him.

Sasuke frowned softly one of the few things he shared with Naruto was his distaste for rape. To find out his teammate as annoying as she was had nearly been on the receiving end of rape he was glad Naruto already killed them. Then the Uchiha noticed Naruto eyes. "Dobe, what happened to you? What's wrong with your eyes?" Sasuke asked in grimacing in pain clutching his shoulder.

Naruto shrugged. "I don't know...I think a mixture of what the snake-lady did to me and…," he said, looking to Sakura who gave him another smile. His heart skipped a beat. "I think I might have awakened a kekkei-genkai."

Sasuke's eyes widened. The dobe has a bloodline limit? Is that the power he used earlier?

"Well, we need to get going want to get to the tower before dinner. Can you walk, teme?" Naruto asked. Sasuke scoffed and stood up, but stumbled into the blonde. Naruto smirked slightly supporting the Uchiha, and the trio made their way to the tower.

"What about the scroll, the Grass-nin destroyed the Heaven scroll?" Sasuke stated.

Naruto held up two scrolls one an Earth and one a Heaven whistling casually. "I got the heaven scroll from that Rain-nin from earlier switch his with a fake," the blonde laughed. Sasuke and Sakura shook their heads.

Once inside, they entered a room with the Heaven and Earth poem. "Do we open the scrolls now?" Naruto asked, pulling both of them out both teammates nod. He handed the heaven scroll to Sakura, and with a nod the two opened the scrolls simultaneously. A plume of smoke appeared, revealing Iruka. "Iruka-sensei!" Naruto greeted.

Iruka smiled at Naruto but faltered at the sight of the blood and his changed eyes. "Naruto...what happened to you?"

Naruto shrugged and shook his head. "I'm not sure. I think...I awakened a kekkei-genkai during the exam." Naruto stated.

Iruka's eyes widened. Naruto...you certainly are the Number One most unpredictable ninja… "Very well, I'll inform Kakashi. He'll be here shortly with the Hokage. Congratulations on passing, you three!" He finished with a smile, and shunshin from the room.

The three lounged for a few hours before in silence, when finally, Hiruzen and Kakashi poofed into the room. Kakashi eye-smiled at his students, but instantly went agape when he saw Naruto's appearance, mainly his eyes. The Hokage's pipe fell out of his mouth, hitting the ground in a low thunk. "H-Hokage-sama, it can't be possible..." Kakashi said in utter disbelief.

The elder Sarutobi nodded, "It appears that Naruto is the first Uzumaki since the time of the Sage of the Six Paths to unlock the Rinnegan."

Author's Note: I adopted this from swagosaurus way back making a few grammatical tweaks was still a work in progress someone else adopted it but never went anywhere with it, so this will be a six chapter premise that'll be re-uploaded from my old files this second to last fic I'll be reposting as part of my farewell series, which isn't really true. While I won't be making multi-chapter fics anymore I'll be limiting myself to premise fics for adoption and solo shots.
