Chapter 5: Graduation and a new Technique
I'm really sorry for the really long delay in posting this chapter, but I'm currently having some health issues and preparing for my entrance exams.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

Naruto was currently lying in his bed trying to sleep but was failing to do so since Anko and Akari were creating quite a racket. "Hey Bonehead! How about this?" Anko said from her room. "Sure, it would suit a snake like you perfectly" Akari retorted back.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Anko asked with irritation in her voice.
"What do you think?" Akari replied.
"Fuck you" Anko said as she flipped the bird.
"Only my Naruto-kun has the right to do it" Akari replied not getting fazed by the finger.
"Yeah right. Your childlike body can't even seduce Jiraya" Anko remarked.
Akari had heard about Jiraya from Naruto. He was a self-proclaimed super-pervert who ran away from his duties as Naruto's godfather. So what Anko said was quite a heavy blow to her as women.
"Oh...Now you've done it" Akari said as she pounced on Anko.
Their fight was slowly getting so loud that even the neighbors were able to hear it.
"What are they both doing?" Naruto muttered as he got up.
"They both better have a good reason for fighting again" Naruto said as he made his way towards their room. When he reached their room he could hear them loud and clear, "Kyaaaa!". Naruto got alerted when he heard Akari shrieking. He opened the door and asked, "What happened!?".
But he was not prepared for the thing that lied on the other side of the door. Akari was currently laying on top of Anko as they both were lip-locked. But what really blew Naruto's mind was the dresses they were wearing. Anko was in a black Belly Dancer dress that perfectly hugged her curves and showed her impressive bust in a very seductive manner. Akari opted for a less revealing version of Anko's dress but it still had a touch of sexiness in it.
It was only a moment later that Naruto rocketed out of the room by his nosebleed thrusters. He crashed into a wall and blacked out with a satisfied smile on his face.
Naruto was currently sitting on the sofa with two tissues stuffed in his nose to stop the bleeding. Akari and Anko were sitting across him with a blush on their faces.
"Alright...what was that all about?" Naruto asked.
"I swear Naruto-kun, I don't swing that way" Akari said.
"Neither do I" Anko added.
"I'm not asking about 'that'...I'm asking about your dress" Naruto said with a blush as he remembered the scene once again.
Naruto noticed that both Akari and Anko were mumbling something which he couldn't make out even with his enhanced hearing.
"I can't hear you. Say louder" Naruto said.
"We planned a special night for you" Akari said in a low voice as she looked at the floor.
"And why would you do that?" Naruto asked although not totally against the idea.
"Because you kissed that Hyuga girl!" both Akari and Anko said together.
"So it's jealousy" Naruto said as he sighed a bit. He stood from his place and walked towards both of them. Akari and Anko looked at him with confusion in their eyes but were completely taken by surprise when Naruto kissed them one by one. It wasn't like a peck or quick ones which Naruto usually gave them, it was slow and passionate which completely blew their minds. They could feel every cell of his lips slowly brushing against theirs, in their minds there were explosions of Dopamine and Endorphins taking place. The only thought that they were having in their minds was "I never knew kissing could feel soooo good~".
As Naruto slowly let his lips leave theirs, he could see the glazed eyes that only had one word written on it, 'More'.
"You don't have to do such things to impress me. You both are really beautiful even if you don't do anything. So don't be jealous of Hinata-chan, she has her own perks as well as both of you" Naruto said in a suave voice that he never knew he had.
"It's already late night so let's sleep now" Naruto said as Shunshined into his bed with Akari and Anko.
"Good Night Anko-chan...Akari-chan" Naruto said as he closed his eyes to enter dreamland. Little did he know that Anko and Akari were still not out of the daze which they got from the kiss.
The next day was a day off from Academy which meant a full-day training session for Naruto and his friends.
"Do we really need to do this?" Kiba asked as he along with others watched Naruto walk on water.
"This exercise helps improve your chakra control. So yeah, you really need to do this" Naruto said as he continued walking.
"Akari, on the other hand, has already done this exercise so she'll be walking on water along with balancing a tower of kunai on her fingertips" Naruto continued as he walked out of the water.
With a deep sigh, all of them started their respective training. Naruto lodged a kunai in the ground with its tip facing upwards and started doing push-ups on his fingertip that was directly above the sharp tip.
"Woah...How the hell are you doing that?!" Naruto heard a voice which he recognized.
"The trick is to concentrate your chakra on your fingertip so that it acts like a protective gauntlet. The denser your chakra, the better" Naruto replied as he continued his push-ups.
"You're crazy!" the person said.
"Tell me something new, Ino" Naruto said as he backflipped and landed in front of her.
"About Sakura..." Ino started but was stopped by Naruto.
"If she doesn't want then I'll not force her. Sooner or later she'll realize her mistake" Naruto said with a sigh. "Although I'm glad that you came" Naruto continued with a smile.
"Me too" Ino mumbled as she looked towards the ground with a small blush.
"You said something?" Naruto asked since he wasn't paying any attention.
"Nope. Just wondering if I'll be able to become as strong as you?" Ino asked in a cheery mood. When Naruto's friends heard her, they simply paled "Bad call".
"Ohhh! You wanna be strong just like me?" Naruto asked to which Ino nodded.
"That's the spirit!" Naruto said with a smirk which made Ino regret asking that question.
Naruto raised his hand a bit as Chakra Chains started slithering out from his palm. Ino was so mesmerized by the glowing Chakra Chains that she failed to notice the mischievous smirk that had formed on Naruto's face.
"Ino" Naruto said in a serious voice that brought Ino out of her thoughts.
"Run" Naruto said as spikes protruded on from the Charka Chains as they started slithering towards Ino just like a deadly snake.
Ino's eyes widened as if about to pop out as she started running to avoid getting caught by the chains that clearly spelled 'Danger'.
"Now I'm not glad that I came here" Ino mentally cried as the chains chased her.
All of Naruto's friend simply gave Ino a salute from their places "Best of luck trying to keep up with this sadist trainer". Naruto was simply laughing from his position "This feeling is the best".
At the end of the day, all of them were exhausted with the exception of Naruto. "You'll really need to work on that stamina of yours" Naruto said as he did some stretches to cool down his body.
"T...T...That's...easy f...for you t...to say...you're...a stamina freak" Kiba said in between heavy pants as he rolled his eyes a bit.
"Huh? Did you just say that you wanted me to double your training?" Naruto asked as he looked at Kiba with a smirk.
Kiba visibly paled "W...Wait! I was just kidding! No need for that double training!".
"Now that's better" Naruto said. "Training's over for the day, you all can go back now" he continued as he finished his stretching.
Ino squeaked as he rubbed her ankles. "Looks like I twisted my ankle" Ino said in pain.
Naruto sighed a bit as he walked towards Ino. "Looks like I overdid a little. Sorry" Naruto apologized.
"You don't need to be sorry. It's my fault to begin with. If I had paid more attention to my training earlier then such injuries might not have happened" Ino replied with a small smile.
Naruto smiled back at Ino as Akari performed Medical Ninjutsu on her. Naruto cracked his fingers a bit and gave a smile "Alright then. Let me help you".
Before Ino could ask what he meant, Naruto picked her up bridal style much to her embarrassment.
"W...What are you doing?!" Ino asked with a huge blush.
"Leaving you home" Naruto said as he jumped on the buildings towards Ino's home leaving his friends behind.
"Looks like you have a rival, Akari" Kiba teased as Akari simply rolled her eyes.
"Rival? As in Love Rival?" Hinata asked as her Byakugan slowly activated.
Akari paled a bit as she remembered what happened last time. "Hinata-chan...it's nothing like that!" Akari said in a panic filled voice as she smacked Kiba on his head.
"Ow! What was that for?" Kiba asked as he rubbed the bump on his head.
"Shut your mouth if you know what's better for you" Akari said with a glare that made Kiba whimper a bit. She released a sigh of relief when she saw Hinata's Byakugan retracting back "Thank Kami she didn't go berserk".
Back to Naruto and Ino
Ino was feeling quite hot and bothered as Naruto carried her towards her home. "His chest feels so warm" Ino thought as she subconsciously snuggled more into his chest. What she failed to notice was that they had already reached her house.
"Not that I mind but you can let me go now, we've reached your home" Naruto said.
Ino reddened in embarrassment as she jumped from Naruto's arms forgetting the fact that she had sprained her ankle.
"Ow!" Ino shrieked in pain as she lost balance and was on the verge of falling but Naruto quickly caught her.
"Careful now" Naruto said.
"Ino? What was that noise?" Inoichi Yamanaka asked as he opened the door. Although he was greeted by the sight of her daughter in the arms of Naruto.
"Naruto-san...I may have allowed you to train my daughter, but that doesn't mean you have my approval of flirting with her" Inoichi said with a raised eyebrow.
Ino blushed a deep color of red as Naruto sheepishly rubbed the back of his head. "I wasn't flirting with her Inoichi-san. She had sprained her ankle and was about to fall, so I caught her" Naruto said in his defense.
"Is that true, Ino?" Inoichi asked as he looked towards Ino.
Ino simply nodded as she was still embarrassed about what her father said. Inoichi released a sigh and looked towards Naruto "Well then, I apologize for the misunderstanding Naruto-san".
"No need for apologies Inoichi-san. Any father would have reacted the same way you did" Naruto said.
Inoichi simply smiled as he bid Naruto goodbye. "You know, I wouldn't mind having him as my son-in-law" Inoichi said as he looked over his daughter who was walking to her room.
Ino blushed 50 shades of red as she ran towards her room in embarrassment. Inoichi simply chuckled as he closed the door.
The next day Naruto was walking towards the academy with his group of friends which now included Ino.
"Umm...Naruto, can I ask you a something?" Ino asked.
"Sure, lay it out"
"I heard from my father that you declined Hokage-sama when he was giving you the rank of Jounin. You are without a doubt the strongest among our batch, so why didn't you take the offer?" Ino asked. Although it was not only her who was curious Kiba, Shikamaru, Choji, and Shino were also.
"You all must be knowing about the treatment I used to get from the villagers, right?" Naruto asked after a long sigh. Everyone looked a bit confused but nodded regardlessly.
"We were told that you were treated as an outcast since the villagers considered you as the Kyuubi reincarnate" Kiba answered.
"That's only the tip of the iceberg, you'll probably get nightmares if you knew the real treatment I used to get" Naruto said in a deadly serious voice that sent shivers up to everyone's spines.
"The point is, do you think the villagers would be able to digest the fact that the person they imagine as the Kyuubi suddenly came back after 6 years and took the rank of a Jounin?" Naruto asked. "They would probably revolt. Worst case scenario, Konoha will destroy itself".
"Their opinion doesn't matter!" Kiba exclaimed. Everyone looked towards him as he was fuming with anger.
"The villagers don't care about you we all know about it...so why do you care?!" Kiba asked.
"I don't care about them...they can rot for all I care. But there are still a few among them who I care about. If Konoha falls into a tragedy and people lose their minds, they'll surely come after those who I care about, and I can't let that happen. You all are my precious people and it doesn't matter if others don't acknowledge my real strength. Being a Jounin or not doesn't matter, it's simply just a rank. If I have the power to protect the ones precious to me, then I don't care even if I remain an academy student for the rest of my life" Naruto replied with a smile.
Naruto's words moved every one of his friends, Naruto declined a high post just so he could keep his precious people safe. If it was possible their respect, admiration and love for Naruto rose to a new height. Before Naruto's friends could reply anything, Sasuke appeared in front of them along with a few Council members.
"Dobe, I want that Katana" Sasuke demanded.
"Go buy your own, if you really want one" Naruto replied.
"Shut up Kyuubi! Sasuke-sama has told us that you possess a strong Katana and such a weapon should belong to the Uchiha Clan!" a Councilman exclaimed.
Naruto released a sigh, "Bye-Bye, random-san".
"What do y..." before he could complete his sentence, his head touched the ground decapacitated.
Everyone present there paled and some even threw up their breakfast, except Naruto and Akari since they already had their first kill.
A cat-masked ANBU gave a jerk so as to remove the blood from her Katana and sheathed it.
"A...A...ANBU-san...w...why?" a Councilwoman spoke as she still watched the dead body with trembling eyes.
"It seems you have forgotten about the law that Hokage-sama had put" the cat-masked ANBU replied.
"Yugao-san, it would have been nice if you killed him somewhere else" Naruto said as he watched Choji, Kiba, Ino and surprisingly Shino throw up their food.
"Rules are rules Naruto-san. The law states that the person should be immediately executed" the cat-masked ANBU replied.
"Well, I guess it makes sense" Naruto said.
"How come you're so calm about it Naruto?" Kiba asked.
"Naruto already had his first kill and so have I" Akari replied.
"Before the graduation, I'll make every one of you have your first kill. I can't risk any of you freezing or simply standing like an idiot when the time comes" Naruto said with a stern look. All of Naruto's friends gulped a bit and looked a bit downcast after hearing that, well it was only natural since they were practically being told to kill despite being children.
"You all shouldn't associate yourself with the Kyu...I mean Brat" Koharu corrected herself, "He'll make your life a hell. Look what he's planning to do with you. He has already killed people and he's planning on making you killers too!".
"Koharu-san, it seems that you've forgotten that we all are on the path of becoming Shinobi. Killing is like a second nature to us. In the world of Shinobi, it only takes a moment of hesitation to get yourself killed. I thought you knew it since you were part of Team Tobirama" Naruto said the last part in a mocking manner.
"Why you!" Koharu said as she clenched her teeth in anger.
Naruto ignored her and looked towards Sasuke, "Oi teme!". Sasuke glared at Naruto. "Do you really think that this Katana should belong to you?" Naruto asked.
"I will take that Katana!" Sasuke growled.
"You really are a spoilt brat" Naruto said as he released a sigh of frustration. Naruto unsheathed his Katana and lodged it in the ground. "If you're able to take this Katana out then it shall be yours" Naruto said without any expression. Sasuke looked at Naruto as if he had grown an extra horn, "Is he seriously giving me his Katana so easily?". Sasuke looked towards Naruto's friends and saw that none of them were saying anything except Ino who was asking Akari if it was really okay to do this.
"You really are a dobe" Sasuke said with a smirk as he gripped the hilt of the Katana and tried to pull it out. "What the hell?" Sasuke said as he tried harder and harder but was unable to move the Katana even by a millimeter.
"What's the matter teme? Didn't eat your breakfast today?" Kiba teased as he laughed along with the others.
"Shut up, dog-face!" Sasuke growled as he tried to pull the Katana as hard as he can.
"I don't have all day teme. Do it fast or we'll be late for academy" Naruto said as he yawned. Although it was really funny seeing Sasuke doing all kinds of poses to take out the Katana, it was taking too much time.
Even Kyuubi was getting annoyed by Sasuke, so he ended it by blasting Sasuke away. "That'll teach him a lesson" Yin said.
Sasuke screamed in pain as his hands now sported a few chakra burns on them. "Sasuke-sama!" the gathered Councilmembers exclaimed together as they rushed towards Sasuke.
"You fucking brat! What did you do to Sasuke-sama?!" Koharu roared.
Naruto sighed as he walked towards his Katana and pulled it out. "I've done nothing to him. This katana is a sentient one, which means if it really acknowledged your so-called Sasuke-sama's strength then he wouldn't have been suffering right now" Naruto replied as he sheathed his katana back into its scabbard.
"As if you're more worthy than me, dobe" Sasuke growled despite the stinging pain he was feeling in his hands.
"I'm won't even waste my time proving that to you" Naruto said as he turned and walked towards his friends.
"So you're finally scared that you'll lose to me" Sasuke said as a small smirk made its way on his face.
"Think what you want, but I know that deep inside you also know the truth to who's stronger" Naruto said as he walked away with his friends.
Sasuke growled as he looked towards his chakra-burned hands. "Am I really that weak?" Sasuke thought as he felt pity for himself.
Even though Naruto was quite far from Sasuke he could still feel the emotions stirring inside him. "You might be a huge pain in the ass Sasuke, but you're still the brother of Itachi who used to protect me" Naruto thought with a sigh. "Maybe if he changes that egotistical attitude of his, I could train him too" Naruto thought with a small smile.
Akari saw that smile and leaned in closer to Naruto. "You got any plans for him?" Akari whispered so that only Naruto could hear her.
Naruto turned his head towards Akari and with a small grin he replied, "Depends". Akari knew that even if someone behaves like a complete ass towards Naruto, he still forgives them. "You're way too kind for your own good" Akari muttered with a smile. "But that's the reason I fell in love with you". Naruto simply snaked his right arm around Akari's waist and with a speed that would even leave a Jounin confused, kissed her on the cheeks. Akari blushed a bit and giggled much to the confusion of their friends who were with them.
Timeskip
It was finally the day everyone was eagerly waiting for, Graduation Day. The Third and the Fourth year of the Academy went by without much hassle since Sasuke stopped being too much of an ass towards Naruto, although he still refused to be trained by Naruto due to his pride as an Uchiha. Sakura, on the other hand, was dragged by Ino to join in the training sessions during the mid of their last year in the academy, and although she really hated it at first she grew accustomed to it and finally broke out of her fangirl shell. She still pursued Sasuke but it lessened quite considerably if you take into account the fact that Sasuke now considered Sakura as a much lesser annoyance.
The Academy was totally sure of that at least 10 students would easily pass the exam, which included Naruto, Akari, Sasuke, Hinata, Sakura, Kiba, Chōji, Shikamaru, Shino, Ino. Naruto also made sure to make his friend have their first kill, how you ask? Well, he had captured quite a few bandits when he quietly sneaked out of the village a few times. Needless to say, it took a lot of convincing and a stern determination to force them to kill those bandits. After which he and Akari consoled all of them for the entire day.
They were all 14-years-old now with Akari being 16-years-old and Naruto being 20-years-old due to the time seals (although Naruto never revealed his true age to any of his friends except Akari since she already knew it). Their generation was already being considered as the generation of prodigies, they were given bows of respect by the villagers wherever they went. Even some of the villagers who used to mistreat Naruto were now giving him the respect he deserved, although Naruto really had no interest in them. He was happy to be amongst his precious people.
Currently, all of them were seated in their class and were being called out one by one. Ino, Chōji, Shikamaru, Shino, and Sakura were sitting in their seats along with their headband. Akari and Hinata had also gotten their headband and were sitting beside Naruto. Kiba soon came out of the room where the exams were being held with a goofy grin and his headband.
"Congrats Kiba" Naruto said as Kiba sat behind him.
"The exam was easy as pie...the Academy really needs to improve its standards" Kiba boasted a bit.
"Careful about that Kiba, don't let the success get into your head or else it'll lead to your downfall" Naruto warned.
"Sorry about that. I forgot" Kiba said as he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
"Mutt-brain" Akari commented as she rolled her eyes.
"What did you call me!?" Kiba asked in annoyance.
Akari took out a small stick from her dress and waved it in front of Kiba. "Go get it Tommy!" Akari said as she threw the stick on the other side of the room.
"I'm not a pet! And my name's not Tommy" Kiba exclaimed.
"Shake hand" Akari said brought her hand to the front.
"Didn't you listen to a single word that I said!" Kiba exclaimed yet again as everyone present in the class started laughing at the scene.
"Akari-chan, don't tease Kiba" Hinata said.
"Thank you for taking my side Hinata" Kiba said as he shed a waterfall of tears.
"Here, have this" Hinata said as she took out a bone from her jacket.
All the happiness that Kiba was feeling suddenly broke apart as he simply sat there with a shocked look on his face. Hinata handed him the bone and stroked her hand on his chin. "Who's a good boy?" Hinata said in a sing-song voice.
"Nice one Hinata-chan!" Akari exclaimed as she gave her a high-five.
Everyone present now burst out laughing at the shocked look Kiba was sporting. Even Shino was laughing but it was hard to tell since he pulled his collar higher to hide it. Soon after Sasuke came out of the room carrying his Konoha headband, he glanced a bit at Naruto and returned to his seat. Others might not have caught it but for Naruto, that simple glance said it all, 'You better not fail dobe'.
"Naruto!" Iruka called out from the room as Naruto got up and headed towards it.
"Best of luck Naruto!" Chōji said.
"Thanks bud" Naruto replied as he walked in the room.
Iruka and Mizuki were sitting behind the desk with 2 sets of documents on both sides of the table. Spotting the set that accounted for around 8 or 9 documents, Naruto understood that it was the applicant forms of those students who passed the exam.
"So, how's our top student doing?" Iruka asked with a smile.
"Doing just fine Iruka-sensei, how about you? Found someone to butter up your lonely life?" Naruto teased as Iruka went total red and Mizuki laughed. Although Mizuki did hate Naruto for being the container of Kyuubi, he loved the jokes that Naruto put up.
"Moving on" Iruka said as he cleared his throat. "Let's begin the test, shall we?" Iruka asked.
"You got it" Naruto replied.
"Okay, do a Henge no Jutsu and transform into me" Iruka said.
Naruto didn't even bother with the hand seals as he transformed into the female version of Iruka. His...I mean her side bangs adorning her face with her hair tied in a ponytail. She had the same dark eyes like Iruka along with the scar that ran across the bridge of her nose. Her petite form and nice perky C-cup breasts were hugged tightly by her outfit. Overall she looked cute and beautiful at the same time. Mizuki was trying hard to control his hormones a bit seeing his longtime best friend in a female avatar. "Don't think about him like that! He's a dude for Kami's sake" Mizuki internally screamed.
"Like what you see S-E-N-S-E-I~" Naruto said in a teasing voice as he squeezed one of the breasts.
That was it, Mizuki shot a nosebleed and passed out. Iruka was blushing like mad but he controlled himself so as to not suffer the same fate as his friend.
"Naruto, I told you to transform into me" Iruka said.
"I did" Naruto replied.
"I meant me...as in male me" Iruka said, "Gotta admit though, he has some crazy imaginary power".
"Oh...you should have said so" Naruto chuckled a bit as he again transformed.
"So, did I pass?" Naruto asked as he was now transformed into Iruka.
"Yeah, you did" Iruka replied with a sigh as he wrote his remarks, and even though he never admitted it he still found his female version quite hot. "Gotta keep such thoughts buried somewhere. I can't lust after myself" Iruka thought.
"Now do a Kawarimi no Jutsu" Iruka said, "What type of surprise will you show me now?".
Naruto turned towards the window for a second and closed his eyes. The next thing Iruka knew was that the Hokage of the village was standing where Naruto was just a second ago.
Iruka's jaw dropped when he registered what Naruto had just done. "He substituted with the Hokage! The office is almost a 10 miles from here! Not to forget the fact, that he did it without the use of smoke".
Hiruzen saw Iruka who had a look of shock etched on his face. "Iruka, why am I her..." Hiruzen was interrupted as he disappeared and Naruto took his place.
"So, how was it Iruka-sensei?" Naruto asked with a small smirk.
Iruka was too flabbergasted to say anything so he simply wrote the remarks and gave a thumbs up to Naruto.
"Why can't I simply give you your forehead protector?" Iruka asked with a bit of desperation in his voice.
"You have to be fair with all the students Iruka-sensei. Just because I'm the top of my class doesn't mean that I'm exempted from this exam" Naruto replied.
"But you're seriously making me lose my self-confidence at a rapid rate" Iruka practically whined at the end.
"Why's that?" Naruto asked.
"Because even though you're only doing the 3 basic Jutsu, your control over it is much better than anyone I've ever seen in my entire life. Let alone me who's probably way behind you" Iruka said as he started shedding anime tears.
Naruto sweatdropped a bit and realized that maybe he should hold back a little. "Okay, fine. I'll do the last one without any surprises...please just stop crying Iruka-sensei" Naruto said as he patted Iruka on his back and tried to console him. Iruka nodded as he wiped his running nose with his sleeve. "That's a lot of discharge" Naruto thought as he tried not to laugh at his sensei who was still wiping his runny nose.
"You promise?" Iruka asked just like a small kid making a pinkie promise.
"Promise" Naruto smiled. "Looks like the roles of adult and children have been reversed" Naruto thought. He found it really amazing sometimes that he could cause the same effect on people just like Ryuu.
"Okay, do a Bunshin no Jutsu" Iruka said as he sniffed in between.
"Jeez, don't cry so much Iruka-sensei" Naruto said as he looked towards Iruka and made the Hand seals 'Tiger → Dog → Snake' instead of 'Ram → Snake → Tiger'.
"Bunshin no Jutsu!" Naruto said as he didn't realize that he made the wrong Hand seals.
Wood started erupting from Naruto's back and soon a Wood Clone stood beside Naruto. "Oh crap!" Naruto thought nervously as he looked towards his clone. He didn't want to reveal the fact that he could use combined nature transformation so early, but the god of bad luck must be really smiling on him since he not only used just any combined nature transformation, he used Wood Release which would create a sense of trepidation among the villagers if they know about it.
"S...Sensei I can expl..." Naruto turned towards Iruka and was about to make some sort of excuse when he stopped midway to see that Iruka was whining which was soon followed by tears.
"Uuuuwwwwaaaahhhh...you liar! Please just take it! I can't handle it anymore!" Iruka cried like a baby as he handed Naruto his forehead protector.
"S...Sensei?..." Naruto slowly walked towards Iruka but stopped when his crying increased.
"Please just take it! I don't want to lose anymore self-confidence!" Iruka cried out as he was practically shedding tears like a waterfall.
Naruto sweatdropped and slowly took his forehead protector. "Looks like I'm safe for now and Iruka-sensei will probably forget about it after he's done crying" Naruto thought as he released a sigh of relief, "Still I feel a bit sorry for sensei". Naruto saw that Mizuki was still unconscious due to the earlier nosebleed that he had. "Thank Kami he's not awake, or else he would have told the council about this for sure" Naruto thought as he released another sigh, he dispelled his wood clone and walked towards the door as he wore his forehead protector.
When Naruto exited the room, he was bombarded with questions from his friends.
"Hey Naruto! We heard Iruka-sensei crying, did you do it?" Kiba asked as he stared at Naruto with wide-eyes.
"We knew you were a sadist, but to not even spare our teacher...that's kinda cruel" Shikamaru said as he didn't say the word 'troublesome' for the first time in his life.
"I swear I didn't do it intentionally" Naruto replied to them.
"So you did do it!" Chōji exclaimed.
"Yeah, it kinda happened" Naruto said as he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "But I gotta admit though, it was kinda fun" Naruto whispered softly as a small smirk made its way on his face.
"He's a real sadist" everyone present there thought as a shiver ran down their spine since they heard Naruto despite how low he said that.
Moments later Iruka came out of the room along with Mizuki who had tissues stuffed in his nose to stop the bleeding. But that was nothing compared to Iruka who looked like a mess from all that crying. Iruka glanced towards the students present in the classroom and cringed a bit when he saw Naruto, an action that didn't go unnoticed by the students.
"I really feel like a criminal now" Naruto thought as he saw Iruka avoiding his gaze.
"T...The team p...placements will b...be done in a w...week" Iruka stuttered as he rushed out of the room, Mizuki followed suit but walked instead of running.
"I'm gonna go fix this up" Naruto said as he disappeared via shunshin.
1 week later
It took Naruto a span of 5 days to make Iruka regain his confidence back. Although he still acted a bit meekly towards Naruto, he was faring far better than what he used to. Naruto also caught Mizuki stealing the Forbidden Scroll from the Hokage's Office 3 days ago, unfortunately it was also Mizuki's last day on earth. That day served as a reminder to the witnesses present during the execution that Naruto doesn't excuse anyone who insults his family.
Flashback
Naruto was currently meditating on Training Ground 3 trying to master his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode when all of a sudden he felt a chakra signature approaching him.
"Hmm? There shouldn't be anyone out this late" Naruto thought as he opened his eyes. He had a shadow clone back at the house, so he knew that neither Akari nor Anko would be here. Naruto focused on his eyes and saw Mizuki running towards him with a huge scroll tied to his back.
"What's he doing out here?" Naruto thought with a raised eyebrow.
Mizuki was focusing so much on escaping that he didn't notice Naruto standing in front of him. "What are you doing Mizuki-sensei?" Naruto voiced out making Mizuki skid stop abruptly. Mizuki saw Naruto standing in front of him with his arms crossed over his chest and eyeing him suspiciously.
"What are you doing here Naruto?" Mizuki asked trying to deviate Naruto's attention so that he could make a run for it. If it was someone else then Mizuki might have simply killed the person without another thought, but he knew that Naruto was strong, way stronger for someone his age if the practice fights between them were any indication.
"I could ask the same thing to you" Naruto replied as he kept his guard up. "And what's that huge scroll on your back?" Naruto asked as he narrowed his eyes a bit, he knew better than to trust Mizuki.
"Damn it! Get lost already Kyuubi brat! You're gonna get me caught" Mizuki fumed in his mind as he gritted his teeth a bit. "Just an errand from the Hokage" Mizuki answered as he didn't let his thoughts change his facial expression.
"This late at night?" Naruto asked fully knowing the fact that he was slowly getting on Mizuki's nerves.
"Just get the fuck outta my way!" Mizuki roared in his mind as his face slowly started contorting in anger. "It's a late night errand ya know" Mizuki replied.
"Then the scroll must really be important" Naruto said.
"Yes it is. Now, I would really love to chat with you but I have a job to finish" Mizuki said with a straight face but was boiling on the inside.
"Hmm...I don't know about that, you seem too irresponsible for such an important task. I can already sense the ANBU approaching here, maybe they can help" Naruto said as he kept a calm expression on his face.
"Fuck it! If you won't move then I'll just have to kill you!" Mizuki fumed in his mind as he slowly took out a kunai from his pocket.
"Akari-san?" Mizuki said as he looked at a distance, Naruto turned back as a smirk made its way on Mizuki's face.
"Die!" Mizuki roared as he threw the kunai with all his power, he was sure that at such a short distance Naruto wouldn't be able to dodge the kunai, and as predicted Naruto was caught off guard as the kunai connected with his back.
"Gotcha!" Mizuki smirked as he saw the kunai getting lodged in Naruto's backside, but his smirk faded the second instance as he heard a 'poof'.
"A shadow clone?!" Mizuki thought as his eyes widened, "But when did he?".
"Didn't someone teach you that backstabbing is a bad thing, Mizuki-sensei?"
Mizuki turned around as heard Naruto's voice. "Yo" Naruto said as he sat on a branch with a small smirk on his face that seemed to piss off Mizuki.
"Why you!" Mizuki said through his gritted teeth as he took out a few shurikens and threw them towards Naruto.
Naruto's left hand blurred for a moment as he easily caught the shurikens. "You shouldn't play with sharp objects Mizuki-sensei" Naruto said as he threw the shurikens towards his left.
A vein popped up on Mizuki's forehead as he let out a roar and charged at Naruto clearly disregarding the fact that Naruto was provoking him on purpose. Naruto let out a sigh and simply watched Mizuki since everything was going in slow motion for him, "And he was the one who taught us to always remain calm as a ninja, what irony".
"You should practice what you preach, sensei" Naruto said as he gave Mizuki an upper kick. Mizuki eyes bulged out a bit as the air got knocked out his lungs and he was sent flying upwards, a sonic boom was heard clearly stating the power behind the kick. Before Mizuki could try to balance himself mid-air, Naruto did a shunshin above him and delivered a powerful heel drop on his back. Mizuki let out a pained cry as his body bent at an unnatural degree due to the force behind the kick. Mizuki's senses went full throttle as he was plummeting towards the ground at a dangerous speed.
"Shit! At the speed with which I'm falling towards the ground, I'll die for sure" Mizuki thought as he panicked inside his mind. But before he could even come up with a solution to reduce his falling speed his eyes widened as some spikes protruded from the ground making his fall even deadlier.
"Fuck! I can't land now or else I'll be impaled by those spikes!" at this moment Mizuki's mind was probably working far more than what it would have in its entire life. Just about 50 feet before he was got impaled, Mizuki's eyes caught onto a seemingly large log that was kept at a distance.
"Praise the log! I'm safe!" Mizuki cheered in his mind as he did a Kawarimi with it.
Mizuki let out a sigh of relief as he safely stood on the ground where the log was a second ago. "Rasengan!" Mizuki heard a shout behind him as he was impacted by something hard on his back, his scream seemed to get stuck in his throat as he felt all his organs getting twisted and rearranged by whatever he was hit with. His body was shot forward and crashed into a tree as he coughed out some blood from his mouth. He fell on the ground and looked towards his attacker with blurred eyes which soon became bloodshot.
"H...How did y...you..." Mizuki growled out. Naruto simply pointed towards the direction where the spikes were, Mizuki turned towards it and almost lost his eyes due to how wide he was opening it. The spikes were shimmering a bit as if they were made of water and the sun was shining on them. Mizuki instantly understood what it meant and looked towards Naruto with hateful eyes, "You planned this, didn't you?".
"Of course I planned it. Did you really think that such a huge log was probably kept there by chance? I already knew that you were gonna do a Kawarimi with it to prevent your fall, so I just had to wait there and attack you the moment you did the substitution. Although, what I never expected was that I had to use a Genjutsu to push you into substituting with the log. Did you seriously think that you would've slowed yourself down in mid-air and safely landed on the ground? Man...you seriously are way stupider than what I thought" Naruto said with a bored look on his face.
Mizuki continued to look towards Naruto with hate-filled eyes as he gritted his teeth. "Don't give me that 'I'll kill you' look. For stealing the Forbidden Scroll, you deserved this punishment" Naruto said as he looked towards Mizuki with indifferent eyes.
Mizuki's eyes widened as his hand tried to reach for his back despite the pain. "Don't bother, what you're searching for is right here with me" Naruto said as he showed Mizuki the backside of his palm. Mizuki squinted his eyes a bit to see it clearly and was shocked beyond words when he saw a sealing pattern made on it.
"W...When did you?" Mizuki asked with a shocked look on his face.
"I didn't throw all your shurikens you know, I hid one of them between my fingers. So when your attention went towards the thrown shurikens, I flicked the hidden shuriken which in turn cut the rope tying the scroll on your back" Naruto said without missing a beat. "I honestly expected you to notice it but hey not everyone can meet the expectations of others, right?" Naruto continued as he gave Mizuki a pitiful look, "You should've known that you were already checkmated the moment you attacked me".
Mizuki clenched his fists so hard that they were almost bleeding from the force. Never in his life he had been so much humiliated, he was not only outdone by someone almost half the age of him but was also playing into the hands of Naruto the whole time. His anger was reaching past every level he had ever experienced. Soon enough the ANBU and the Hokage reached the clearing where Naruto and Mizuki were, Naruto was glad that he had sent a clone to fetch them up while he dealt with Mizuki.
"Naruto why did you call us here?" Hiruzen asked.
"Here's what you've been searching for jiji" Naruto replied as he unsealed the Forbidden Scroll and tossed it to Hiruzen with ease.
Hiruzen was caught off guard but caught it nonetheless. "W...Where did you get it?" Hiruzen asked with a look of surprise on his face.
"I just happened to come across the culprit" Naruto replied as he pointed his thumb towards Mizuki.
Hiruzen didn't take long to put two and two together as he ordered his ANBU to apprehend Mizuki. "Thank you Naruto. If you weren't there, then Mizuki might have escaped with it" Hiruzen said.
"No need to thank me jiji. I just did what was right" Naruto replied with a smile to which Hiruzen couldn't help but smile back.
"Kekekekekekekekehehehehehehehehehehahahahahahahahaha" Mizuki laughed maniacally as the ANBU grabbed him.
"You fucking demon! What's with that smile? You don't deserve to smile like a human, you don't even deserve to live! When you finally went away for 6 years, it was the best time the village could ever have. But then all of a sudden you come back with some whore along with you and slowly start to sink back your poisonous roots into this village. You even bonded with that snake-slut, I guess you were so hungry for love that you didn't care who you're getting it from. You were probably orphaned because your mother might have been some cheap whore who spread her leg for a stranger and then abandoned you. The person who took you might also have been a loser who left you after a while" Mizuki started to shout up random rants which didn't even qualified to be called proper sentences.
"That's enough! Neko, execute this man immediately!" Hiruzen shouted as he felt his blood boil hearing such vulgar words towards Naruto. But before she could even reach for her sword, Yugao and everyone present there including Hiruzen were frozen in their places as an immensely strong Killer Intent washed over them. Every cell in their body shivered in fear as the temperature of their surroundings seemed to drop below sub-zero. But despite that fact it felt really cold that one could almost see their breath, they were sweating profusely as if it were the hottest of summer. If one were to observe carefully, they would find that the small animals that lived in the forest had fainted due to the huge amount of mental pressure on their brains.
"Don't touch him...he's my prey" Naruto said in a human-demonic or humonic voice that could even make Madara shriek like Janet Leigh in the movie 'Psycho'.
The ANBU immediately obeyed Naruto out of fear as he slowly made his way towards Mizuki. His eyes started to shimmer up a bit as one could see the purple hue and ripple-like patterns a few times. "So...Akari-chan is a whore, eh?" Naruto asked as he put his hand in a snake hand seal.
"Mokuton: Strangulation Technique" Naruto whispered as a thin branch shot out of the ground behind Mizuki and constricted itself around his neck. Mizuki choked a bit as the branch lifted him into the air.
"Anko-chan is a slut who doesn't even qualify as a human, eh?" Naruto asked again as he stood in front of Mizuki.
"Futton: Skilled Mist Technique" Naruto said as he opened his mouth. Mizuki screamed in agony as a highly acidic mist was released on his body which was slowly and painfully corroding his skin.
"My mother was a cheap whore, eh?" Naruto asked as he closed his mouth and walked a bit farther from Mizuki.
"Yōton: Floor is Lava Technique" Naruto whispered as the ground beneath Mizuki started to steam and soon enough it took the form of lava. Mizuki was already suffering from Asphyxia and Skin Necrosis that he almost didn't register the branch around his neck loosening. His senses returned to him when the branch finally uncoiled and dropped him on the lava floor. His pain almost tripled as he rolled in agony to get out of the lava trap. When he finally got out of it, his skin had almost melted to the point where one could clearly make out the outline of the bones and organs. Naruto canceled his jutsu and walked towards Mizuki.
Mizuki looked towards Naruto with so much fear in his eyes that his heart was almost tearing up the remaining skin due to how fast it was beating.
"The one who took me was a loser, eh?" Naruto asked as he gritted his teeth a bit and used his Rinnegan to throw Mizuki's body high up in the air.
"Don't Fuck With Me!" Naruto roared as he created multiple shadow clones which jumped up and surrounded Mizuki from all the sides like a dome.
"Crushing Execution!" Naruto screamed on top of his lungs. All of Naruto's clones gave a nod as they brought up their hands towards Mizuki and in an accord that could only be seen in an A capella group said in unison, "Shinra Tensei".
That was it for Mizuki, his body started distorting into unnatural shapes as he was finally crushed from all sides. Naruto's clones poofed out of existence as a bloody spherical pulp of flesh which used to be a human called Mizuki, fell on the ground with a large thud.
Naruto started panting as his anger slowly started to diminish. He turned around and started walking out of the forest without even looking into the eyes of the Hokage or ANBU. When he went away to a safe distance, the heavy pressure they were feeling disappeared as they took a breath of relief. Hiruzen slowly gained back his composure as he ordered his ANBU to dispose off the dead body. He also gave them a small warning stating to keep this incident a secret from the others, they instantly agreed since they didn't want to get on the bad side of Naruto.
Flashback end
Naruto was lazily sitting on his desk with his friends and a self-proclaimed rival near him.
"Man, I can't believe Shino took the third place in the exams" Kiba whined a bit.
"It was to be expected Kiba" Naruto replied. "Shino is a really fast learner and if I were to grade his strength on the battlefield then he would be around Mid Chunin Level" Naruto continued.
"It's only because he is good at making those seals" Kiba said as he groaned. Naruto chuckled a bit since Kiba was really competitive and was completely shocked when he learned that Shino easily beat him. Naruto was surprised too when he discovered that Shino had an aptitude towards Fuinjutsu. Shino had already mastered the 7th Level of Fuinjutsu which was fairly amazing for his age.
"Naruto-kun, what about me?" Akari asked.
"You would be around High Chunin Level" Naruto replied to which Akari grinned.
"What about us?" Kiba asked.
"Somewhere in between Low to Mid Chunin Level with Sakura being the only exception since she's High Genin Level" Naruto replied without missing a beat.
"If only you had come earlier you might have been on par with me" Ino teased her best friend.
"Fine, I know I did a mistake of not accepting his training earlier" Sakura groaned as she felt embarrassed.
"But you can only improve from here, so work hard" Naruto assured her to which she smiled.
"Alright, settle down now" Iruka said as he entered the class. "Your team placements have finally been done" Iruka said as he waved a sheet of paper in front of him.
"Since only 10 students managed to pass the exam it took a considerable amount of time to for each Jounin to select their desired candidates" Iruka continued as he brought the sheet in front of him.
"Team 7 consists of the following members; Shino Aburame, Sasuke Uchiha, and Kiba Inuzuka. Your sensei will be Kakashi Hatake" Iruka announced as Kiba groaned and complained about being on the same team as Sasuke.
Iruka ignored the complaints and continued, "Team 8 will consist of the following members; Hinata Hyūga, Sakura Haruno, and Akari Kaguya. Your sensei will be Kurenai Yūhi".
"Team 10 will consist of the following members; Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Chōji Akimichi. Your sensei will be Asuma Sarutobi" Iruka announced as the students had a look of confusion on their face.
"What about Naruto, Iruka-sensei?" Kiba asked.
"Well, since Naruto is considered a prodigy among your generation, all of the Jounins wanted Naruto on their team and none were backing out. So we decided to keep Naruto as a single support unit, which means that he can join any team in their missions" Iruka said as he remembered how the selection procedure quickly escalated into a heated debate. "You know Naruto, if you simply took the rank of a Chunin or possible a Jounin, you could have avoided what happened during the selection procedure" Iruka said as he released a sigh. Naruto simply shrugged and replied that he had no interest in gaining that rank currently. " Well then Naruto, your sensei will be..." Iruka continued but got interrupted when a ball of cloth came flying through the open window and got stuck on the wall with a kunai pinning it. The cloth opened up to reveal itself as a banner which read, 'The Hot, Sexy and Naru-kun's future wife. Anko Mitarashi is Here!'. In a small cloud of smoke, Anko stood in front of the banner with a huge grin on her face.
Before anyone could say anything Anko interrupted them, "Now if you don't mind I'll be taking my hus...I mean student". She quickly dashed forward and wrapped her arms around Naruto. "Now you're mine~" Anko whispered into Naruto's ear as she did a quick shunshin.
It took around 3 seconds for the whole class to realize what just happened. "That slithering snake!" Akari fumed up in jealousy as she stood up to search for Anko and Naruto.
"Akari don't go right now, your sensei will probably arrive in a few minutes" Iruka said as Akari grumbled and stomped her feet before sitting back on her desk. Hinata and Ino were also feeling really jealous of Anko but they didn't voice their opinion like Akari.
"I'm seriously going to drink sake after I get out of here" Iruka thought as he rubbed his forehead.
Training Grounds 43
Anko was lying on top of Naruto as they were engaged in a heavy makeout session. The wet sounds of their lip-smacking resonated in the quiet forest as Anko rubbed her covered nether region on Naruto's thigh. The need for air finally broke their kiss as a thin and glistering thread of saliva formed between their lips.
"Aren't you getting a little too excited sensei?" Naruto asked with a small smirk.
"I've waited so long for this moment when we both are completely alone and I'm not wasting a single second of it" Anko replied with glazed eyes as she engaged in another lip-lock. Naruto growled a bit at the assertiveness Anko was showing as he jutted his tongue against Anko's lips.
Anko feeling Naruto's tongue poking her soft lips parted them as his pink member entered her oral cavity. She gave a small moan as Naruto's tongue played with her soft palate and teased its sensitive areas. Anko decided to play with him as she pushed her tongue against his. Their tongue coiled and flicked each other as they danced in their mouth as if performing the most exotic Salsa.
The need for air arose again as Anko slowly pulled back but was taken in by surprise as Naruto grabbed her head and kept her in place. Anko knew that her Naru-kun will never do anything to hurt her, so she simply let him do as he pleased. She was slowly losing herself in a sea of pleasure when Naruto's hot tongue started rubbing against all her sensitive spots which he had found out earlier. Due to the lack of oxygen, her nerves present around those spots didn't seem to able to properly send the signals which only spurred her impending orgasm further. Without warning, Naruto pulled back Anko as the sharp intake of oxygen pushed all of her blocked signals into the brain at once. Anko opened her mouth as the force of her orgasm doubled and she cried out a silent scream.
Naruto could only watch in pure bliss as Anko's face contorted into a look of pure pleasure and she opened up her dam to let her juices flow. If it wasn't for her own bodysuit, Naruto was sure that she would've completely soaked his thighs.
After coming out of her orgasmic bliss, Anko flopped into Naruto's chest with a satisfied look on her face as she panted heavily. "T...That...was amazing" Anko softly said in between pants.
"Ready for more?" Naruto asked as he looked into Anko's light brown eyes.
"Maybe some other time" Anko replied as she let her sleep take over.
Although, Naruto wanted more he chuckled and kissed her forehead as he remembered that Anko just came back from a mission late night yesterday. "Lay her off in the bed, will ya" Naruto said as he created a shadow clone and handed Anko to her. The clone gave a nod as it disappeared via shunshin.
"Let's see how the others are doing, shall we" Naruto said to himself as he darted out to see his friends.
Training Grounds 39
Asuma was currently dodging Chōji's Spiked Human Bullet Tank with a huge smile on his face, "He improved the Akimichi Clan's Human Bullet Tank version by wrapping kunai around his body...not bad". His thoughts were cut short when he did a backflip to avoid the shurikens that were thrown at him. He grinned a bit when he saw Shikamaru standing at a distance with few more shurikens in his hand. "He may be the most active Nara that I've ever met" Asuma thought as he chuckled a bit, " I still wonder though, where that Yamanaka girl went".
"Suiton: Syrup Trap" Ino said as she expelled chakra-infused water of high viscosity. She had finally succeeded in creating a parameter made up of this sticky liquid as planned. She sat down on the ground as she panted due to chakra exhaustion, now she could only hope for Shikamaru and Chōji to lure their sensei into this trap.
After waiting for about half an hour, she got up in frustration as she prepared to go where her teammates and sensei were "What's taking those boys so long?!". Unbeknownst to her, a shadow clone of her sensei was watching her the whole time. The clone smirked as it sneaked up behind Ino to push her into her own trap, but it was in for a surprise as Ino sensed it and delivered a back hook kick which dispelled it. Ino smirked as she gave a sigh of relief, "If I wasn't accustomed to Naruto sneaking up behind me while we were training then I might have been a goner by now".
"Now I gotta warn Chōji and Shikamaru that this plan was a fail" Ino muttered since she remembered that the memories of the Shadow Clones return to their owner after it is dispelled. She had merely taken a step when all of a sudden she tripped and fell into the viscous liquid.
"Gah! What the hell?! How did I trip up?!" Ino exclaimed as she tried to get out of the trap. A small laughter brought her out of her rambling, she looked forward and saw a familiar boy with a tuft of blonde hair.
"Naruto?!" Ino asked with a look of pure surprise as the boy continued to laugh. "What the hell?! Were you the one to trip me?!" Ino asked with irritation.
Naruto squatted and looked straight into her eyes and with a grin, he answered: "Yes".
"Why did you do it?!" Ino asked as she struggled to get out of the sticky liquid.
Naruto didn't say anything as he took out his katana which he had sealed in his palm. He slowly unsheathed it for dramatic effect and held it right above Ino. She stared at Naruto with wide-eyes as she mentally panicked.
"N...Naruto? What are you doing?" Ino asked with a hint of fear in her voice.
"Eien no Sora" Naruto whispered as he plunged the katana into the viscous liquid just 1 centimeter away from Ino's cheek, earning a loud eep from the blonde girl.
The liquid around Ino disappeared as she looked at Naruto with disbelief in her eyes. Before she could express her anger of being scared to death, Naruto picked her up and snaked his arms around her waist and pressing her back against his chest. "You were spying on me 2 days prior weren't you?" Naruto whispered hotly in her ear as she shuddered under his breath. Her eyes widened a bit as she remembered the night when she caught Naruto half naked in the lake of Training Grounds 10 where he was washing himself up after a heavy workout session. All his friends knew where he usually did his workout sessions. Even though she could have simply walked away, she hid behind a tree and watched Naruto the whole time.
"Y...You saw me...mmm" Ino moaned a bit at the last part as Naruto gently bit her earlobe. While Naruto was not a huge pervert who did such things with every girl he saw, the incomplete session with Anko had left his hormones raging in his body. He knew about the huge crush Ino had on him and personally, he considered Ino as really hot and good looking. So when he saw her body covered at some places by the translucent sticky liquid, his hormones started to roar again. So he finally decided to ask her something which was on his mind for a few months.
"Did you really think that you could hide from me?" Naruto asked as he slowly kissed her neck. "Why did you think I was giving you so much fanservice a few times?" Naruto added as he chuckled a bit.
Ino's eyes widened as she finally realized the motive behind those sexy poses that Naruto gave her a few times. "So tell me did you enjoy the show?" Naruto asked in a teasing manner. She went beet red from embarrassment as she squirmed a bit in his arms to hide her face. "Don't try to hide, I don't hate you for it" Naruto said as he gave her a trail of kisses on her jawline, Ino relaxed a bit as her moans grew a bit louder. Naruto was affecting her body like no one has ever done, her heartbeat escalated as she felt a tingly feeling in her stomach, she was never able to stop herself from sneaking glances at him and would always seem to be clumsy around him.
"Ino" Naruto said in a serious manner as she turned her head towards him. "If I asked you to be my girlfriend, would you accept?" Naruto asked.
Ino's heart skipped a beat when she heard the question, "I...Is he pro...proposing me?" she asked herself. Tears welled up in her eyes when she finally understood why Naruto made her feel so different, she was in love with him. She turned around swiftly as she captured his lips with her own. They continued like that for a minute before she broke the kiss and looked straight into his sparkling sapphire eyes.
"So, should I take that as a yes?" Naruto asked with a smirk on his face.
"Of course!" Ino exclaimed as she giggled. But it soon disappeared when she realized something, "But what about Akari? I thought she was your girlfriend".
Naruto released a sigh since he knew that Ino might be asking this question, after all, he didn't tell anyone about him getting placed in the CRA. "Akari-chan is my girlfriend, and not only her. Hinata-chan and Anko-chan are also my girlfriends" Naruto calmly replied.
Ino's eyes widened as she stared at Naruto, "Are you playing with their hearts?" she asked while keeping her gaze fixed on him.
"I swear, I'm not. They are sharing me" Naruto replied.
"They agreed to share you? Doesn't any one of them gets jealous when you kiss or go on dates with other girls?" Ino asked as she mentally cursed herself since she felt that she was practically blowing up her chance to be with him but she needed to know the whole truth, lest she would become the girlfriend of a cheater.
"Well...can't say they aren't jealous" Naruto replied sheepishly as he remembered that Akari and Anko behaved like cats and dogs sometimes. "But rest assured they all are happy" Naruto continued with a smile. Ino still kept her gaze but it softened, "No need to rush, take your time and then tell me if you want to be mine or not" Naruto said as he pecked her on the lips.
She looked into Naruto's eyes to ask one final question, "If both me and Akari get captured, who will you save first".
Naruto's eyes darkened a bit when he heard that and Ino mentally strangled herself for asking such a question. She was expecting Naruto to leave her, even scold her but what she never expected was for him to hold her more tightly as if telling her to never let go. "There would never be such a situation. I'll kill anyone who dares to hurt those precious to me" Naruto growled at the end of the sentence.
Her eyes welled up a bit as she felt the warmth and protectiveness that Naruto provided. She nuzzled her head into his chest as she whispered, "Promise me that you'll love me the same way you love all girlfriends".
"I promise" Naruto replied as he stroked her hair.
"Promise that you'll never abandon me" Ino said as she looked at Naruto.
"Promise" Naruto replied as he cupped her cheek and leaned closer to kiss her.
Hearing only sincerity in his voice Ino closed the distance between their lips and indulged herself in the kiss that was full of love and passion. After a few seconds, Naruto broke the kiss and looked into her cerulean eyes. "I'll be going now, gotta check how others are doing" Naruto said as he gave one last peck on her lips. Ino giggled and nodded as she saw Naruto darting towards a random direction. Ino released and sigh and laughed a bit, she was still having a hard time believing that she wasNaruto's girlfriend now. She blushed a bit remembering how it all started as Naruto kissed her everywhere on the face and neck.
"I guess tripping in my own trap turned out to be good" Ino said as she laughed a bit, wait...trap...sensei...the test! Ino's eyes widened as she remembered about the test. She ran towards the direction where she last saw her teammates hoping that they haven't failed the test. Little did she knew that she was in for a reward since Naruto had already taken care of it before he tripped her by sending a shadow clone disguised as Ino, who almost kicked Asuma's ass.
Naruto reached Training Grounds 21 where Akari, Hinata, and Sakura were having their test, and by the looks of it had already passed it. Kurenai's breath was a bit labored as she stood watching the 3 recently graduated genins standing still as if they were in a daze. Kurenai had never expected them to put some sort of pressure on her from the beginning, she was a Jounin for Kami's sake. "These girls are way stronger than a genin, now I understood why they were called the Generation of Prodigies" Kurenai thought as she saw Sakura fall on the ground followed by Hinata and lastly Akari who stood for the longest time.
Kurenai released a sigh of relief as she finally dropped her guard, "Forcing me to use one of my strongest Genjutsu on them...I have to admit though their efforts really are..." she said to herself but got interrupted in the middle.
"Praiseworthy" Naruto finished her sentence as he jumped right in front of her. Kurenai being caught off-guard delivered a roundhouse kick on instinct which Naruto caught without much effort.
"Easy there, sensei. I bring no harm" Naruto said as he released her leg. Kurenai released a breath of relief as she pulled back her leg.
"It's your fault to begin with...you shouldn't have sneaked upon me" Kurenai said.
"Sorry" Naruto said as he sheepishly rubbed the back of his head.
"But what are you doing here? I thought you were with Anko" Kurenai asked, she knew about her friend's huge crush on Naruto so she was expecting her to be all over him right now.
"Well, Anko-chan came back yesterday after a long mission so she needed rest" Naruto replied with a small smile.
Kurenai closed her eyes and gave a small nod. "Say, my students would take a while to get up so why don't we have a little spar in the meantime. Afterall you'll be working with our team too, I just want to test your strength" Kurenai said as she put her guard up.
Naruto simply shrugged as he cracked his neck a few times. "Sure" Naruo replied with a smirk on his face. Even though Naruto was a freshly out genin, Kurenai knew from her experience that she should never underestimate her opponent especially when her best friend Anko told her to always keep her guard up around Naruto.
Ram → Snake → Tiger → Ram, Naruto did these hand seals as a small group of shadow clones came into existence and charged at her. "A group attack?" Kurenai thought as she pulled out a kunai.
"This is my newly developed technique to counter a kunoichi!" Naruto shouted from behind the clones as there was another burst of smoke.
"Oiroke Gyaku Hāremu no Jutsu"
Kurenai was having a had time to not faint due to her nosebleed, in front of her was a group of attractive naked men who were looking at her with the 'I want you' look. While there were many who believed that Kurenai hated perverts and was disgusted by even the idea of thinking about sex, she had a healthy libido and like every other healthy woman wasn't disgusted by sex. So when Naruto gave her a glimpse of the dream that every woman wanted a.k.a. their own harem, she was on the verge of blacking out.
"Clam down Kurenai, they are merely an illusion" Kurenai chanted in her mind as she closed her eyes to block any impure thoughts.
"You shouldn't be like that Kurenai-hime" one of the clones said as it caressed her cheeks.
"Let us service you" another one added as it placed her hand on its chest.
"Forever~" all the clones said striking the final nail in the coffin.
Kurenai got blasted back by her nosebleed as she finally blacked out after hitting the ground. "Good job guys" Naruto said to his clones with a grin.
"N...Naruto-kun?"
Naruto turned his head a bit and saw Hinata looking at him with a confused look, but her confusion was lesser if compared to Naruto who saw Akari and Sakura still lying on the ground but with their nose bleeding.
"Did they saw my technique?" Naruto thought since both the girls were smiling a bit. "But if they did, then why didn't it affect Hinata?" he pondered. The clones might have understood the confusion of their creator as they rushed forward and started smooth talking to Hinata. But to Naruto and his clones surprise, she dispelled them all with a kunai.
"This technique doesn't affect Hinata?!" Naruto thought in shock since he was pretty much sure that this technique didn't have any flaws.
"Of course it won't affect that Yandere girl" Yang Kurama said as a matter of fact.
"What do you mean by that?" Naruto asked.
"Yin, would you please elaborate" Yang Kurama said.
"Well, according to this book on Yandere...it seems she only has her eyes on the person she loves, other boys are worth a penny in front of her" Yin said as he adjusted his fake reading glasses.
"What's a penny?" Naruto asked since he had never heard of it before.
"Ignore the penny part, the point is that your technique won't affect her since she only has eyes for you" Yang said.
Naruto thought for a bit as he finally devised a plan, "If she only has her eyes for me, then this might work against her".
Naruto created another group of shadow clones and they rushed towards Hinata, another burst of smoke enveloped them.
"Oiroke Naruto Gyaku Hāremu no Jutsu"
When the smoke finally dispersed, instead of different types of males, there were only naked Naruto surrounding Hinata. And just like Naruto predicted, she blacked out instantly with a powerful nosebleed that left any other he had ever seen before in dust. "That's a lot of blood...hope she's okay" Naruto thought a bit concerned about the blood loss. "Kakashi will probably keep his test tomorrow, given his personality" he thought with a sigh. "Well, I guess I'll go see Anko then" Naruto muttered as he did a shunshin to his house.
And Cut.
Chapter 5 finally posted, hope you liked it.
Regarding Ino, my longtime friend had been really bugging me to add her to the harem nonetheless. So for the sake of friendship, I did it. But that won't change the poll, there will still be 10 girls selected. The poll will be closed after I post chapter 7 so if there are still a few readers who haven't voted, then go vote.
I'm also posting 2 new fanfics (Fairy Tail and Akame ga Kill) so I'll feel really obliged if you could also check them out.
Well then till next chapter, C'ya.
