This is for Brown Phantom's Challenge! Enjoy and Review!

Naruto just kept running from Ebisu, not even daring to turn around and look. In his mind hundreds of thoughts were racing through his head. One was that Kakashi didn't want to train him but rather trains Sasuke, just because he was going up against last year rookie of the year. 'I can't believe that Kakashi-sensei would just abandon me. Its like everyone only cares about the teme."

But the most important thought in his mind was the blood oath he made for Hinata when she lost her match against Neji. He didn't know why he did that; it was if watching Hinata being hurt and degraded made him so mad. He also couldn't help but notice that she would call him 'Naruto-kun' a lot; unlike the names he got from the rest of the villagers. Now that he thought about it, it made him feel warm inside whenever she said his name or talked to him. Naruto was no expert at looking at people's emotions but could it be that Hinata actually liked him, perhaps loved him? Naruto had never thought that there was a person in all of Konoha who saw him like that.

He soon found himself deep in one of the forest of Konoha all alone. He had been so distracted that he hadn't notice where he was going. Sighing in defeat Naruto sat down and continued on thinking about everything. However soon he fell asleep and sunk deep into his subconscious.

Naruto's mindscape

Naruto fluttered his eyes open before he sat up and rubbed them. After that was done he looked around to see he was in some kind of sewer. However it did not have the smell of a sewer really and he saw no signs of life either.

"I could have sworn I was in a forest. Now where am I now?" Naruto muttered to himself as he began walking to find a way out. It seemed like he had been walking forever, turning down various halls and cutting corners, and he was getting annoyed.

He stopped however when he felt a wave of power. The blonde turned around and walked down another hall and kept moving straight. When he arrived his eyes widened when he saw a giant cage that was being held together by a single piece of paper. Walking forward he stopped and tried to look within the cage but couldn't see anything past the bars, that is until a pair of large glowing blood red eyes with black slits and a large mouth formed into a grin that showed it's large sharp teeth appeared.

Naruto stared at the eyes till a voice spoke, and it wasn't Naruto's.

"Hello there, human."

Naruto's eyes widened as the voice was deep and intimidating. He wanted to run away but he was frozen to the spot.

"A-are y-you the K-kyuubi?" Naruto asked. The figure laughed and gave a nod.

"Yes I am, puny human. You must be my container correct?" Kyuubi asked. Naruto gave a quick nod.

"Well do you mind pulling off that tag and letting me out?" Kyuubi asked nicely. Naruto was going to nod till he realized what the fox said and glared.

"Like hell I'm not! I'm not letting you out, Dattebayo!" Naruto declared not noticing Kyuubi's eye twitch at the verbal tick. Sighing, Kyuubi spoke.

"Worth a shot. Anyway, what do you want kit?" Kyuubi wondered. Naruto blinked in confusion since that wasn't the response he expected. But he wasn't complaining, that response was much better than the one he thought he was going receive.

"Well I actually don't know how I got here. Where am I anyway?" Naruto wondered. The Kyuubi gave a shrug.

"We're here in your mind. Pretty dull if you ask me." Kyuubi grumbled. Naruto looked around and couldn't help but agree.

"Okay so how did I get here? Last thing I remember was falling asleep in a forest." Naruto muttered. Kyuubi nodded before speaking.

"The reason that you are here, well let's just say that someone wants to have a chat with you but right now its just you and me." The Kyuubi said in a bored tone.

Naruto raised an eyebrow at the fox. "Hey, how come you aren't all angry and boasting at me like I thought you would? Shouldn't you be yelling at me about how you are the great Kyuubi and I am nothing but a sack of flesh and bones and should bow down to your power?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah, but that's to much work and unnecessary. And I can't really live up to that title if I have been sealed 3 times in the past 50 years or so. Seriously, I don't even have the chance to stretch my legs anymore. Not to mention I haven't taken a shower in forever." Kyuubi ranted.

Naruto couldn't help but sweat drop at the giant fox's behavior. The Kyuubi was big for sure but it didn't seem all terrifying and dangerous as the villagers made it sound to be. He was pretty friendly more or less and in fact it almost sounded like a regular human, almost.

"So um, you said someone wanted to see me?" Naruto asked curiously.

The Kyuubi nodded and tilted his head to the right, revealing a door, which said "The Paths" on it. "That Paths? What's that?" Naruto asked the fox.

The Kyuubi smirked. "Why don't you open it and find out. All I know is that door appeared when your chakra was messed up by that creepy ninja in the forest of death."

Naruto pondered a moment and suddenly remember about that creepy Kunoichi slammed her hand against the seal, making him angry that he didn't mention it to Kakashi. But seeing how he couldn't really figure out how to get out of here, he thought what the heck and walked towards the door. Moving slowly he opened it before the door opened fully on its own and he was soon sucked in. The Kyuubi, who was watching looked at the door and could've sworn he saw some kind of eye in there, a familiar one too.

Back with Naruto, the said boy was now in a room of complete darkness. "Where-where am I?" He asked himself.

"We have been waiting." A voice said startling Naruto.

"Who are you?" Naruto asked nervously.

"We are you" The voice responded.

"Me?"

"Yes and you have unlock what has been deep inside of you."

"Deep inside of me?" Naruto asked confused. "What does that mean? Who are you?"

"We are you and we shall slowly become one but first you must master us."

"Master you?"

"There are six paths and one outside of us. Deva, Asura, Human, Animal, Preta, Naraka and finally Outer those are the seven paths, the true you. But for now we shall leave, this is something you must learn on your own, in order for you to become the next Sage." The voice said before disappearing.

Before Naruto could ask anything else his mind was suddenly bombarded with information, knowledge long lost. It was so overwhelming for him to contain. Naruto screamed in agony as he tried to stop it and then he black out again.

The Kyuubi watched as the boy was shot out of the room and skidded on the ground and the door closed and disappeared. He watched as the boy got up and when he looked back at him, the Kyuubi's eyes widened. The boy's eyes were no longer the warm blue they once were. Now they were fully purple with metallic silver along with six rings converging on a small dot like pupil. 'The Rinnegan!' The Kyuubi thought.

As if hearing the fox Naruto squinted his eyes before murmuring, "Kurama…" Causing the fox's eyes to widen. "Your name is Kurama right?" He said in a deeper voice that sounded full of wisdom.

The Kyuubi's eyes narrowed. "How do you know my name boy?" He asked with a growl.

Naruto rubbed his head, the information still going into his mind. "I-I don't know. I heard voices inside my head…something about becoming the next sage." He said.

The Kyuubi was thinking hard about what the boy was saying. "Could he be father's descendant or reincarnation? His natural chakra feels more smooth, controlled and larger then before. But why would his dojutsu appear now instead on the day he was born? Makes no sense unless…"

A loud grunt from Naruto broke the Kyuubi's train of thought. "Ugh what the hell are these images and what's a Juubi?" He mumbled to himself.

Kyuubi decided to that he had no choice but to explain things. "Yo Kit listen up! The eyes you have belonged to the Rikudou Sennin and if my guess is correct you must be his reincarnation so you're probably receiving your past life memories." The Kyuubi said.

For a moment Naruto ignore the pain in his head and looked up at the fox. "Rikudou Sennin? Who's that?" Naruto asked confused.

"The Rikudou Sennin or Sage of the Six Paths, was the most powerful human in existence. He's powers and knowledge helped create ninjutsu, basically becoming the founder of the shinobi world and a god in many people's eyes. Its because of him why clans, ninjas and hidden villages are even here now." The Kyuubi said proudly.

Naruto titled his head to the side at the way the fox spoke of the Sage. It almost sounded like he…admired him. "Anyway what can you tell me about these eyes? The…"

"The Rinnegan. It's called the Rinnegan." The Kyuubi said. "And to be honest I don't know that much, hell I doubt the Sage knew much about his eyes too. All I can say is that they give the wielder great chakra control, a large amount to be exact, can sense barriers, control all five natures, and also allows the user to Yin-Yang jutsus, the most greatest of them was the Sage's Creation of all Things Jutsu."

Naruto's eyes widened at that. "Awesome! Are you saying that I can do all that stuff too?" Then he frowned. "Wait if I had this dojutsu all along then how come it didn't appear until now?"

"First off, you may be able to use all five natures, but Yin-Yang release is difficult to use so you might want to take your time with that. Also whiles its possible you can use the Creation of All Things there is no guarantee that you can use it to the extent that the Sage could so I would focus on the five natures first. As to why its activating now…well my best guess is that the seal that the Yondaime used to put me inside of you must've some how sealed off the Rinnegan. But when that weird girl from the forest used that five-pronged seal on you it must've activated your Rinnegan. Speaking of that seal it seems like it has gone away, probably because your massive chakra managed to overpower it." The Kyuubi replied.

Naruto nodded, taking all that in, which seemed to be easier for him now. Might be because of the Rinnegan. "So wait, all these jutsus that I'm seeing in my head, I can do them all?" Naruto asked, not wondering why he was asking the fox about this. But hey he seemed like a nice person and obviously knew a lot about these eyes. And probably that he didn't want a weak container either.

The Kyuubi thought for a moment before replying. "Probably but I would suggest you practice using them for the month. And just the lower rank ones like C through B-rank before learning the powerful ones." The fox replied before yawning. "Anyway that's all I can say for now. You should probably wake up and get to training. Also say hi to that blue hair vixen of yours for me too." He said the last part with a chuckle before closing his eyes.

Naruto got a tick mark about Hinata being his vixen before being pushed out of his mind and back into the real world.

End of Mindscape

The next few weeks Naruto trained like hell to master his new eyes. As the Kyuubi said, he managed to master all five elemental techniques through C to B and a few A-ranks by stealing scrolls from the library since they wouldn't let him in. He learned a few Yin-Yang techniques but not so much that he could use them fully. With the help of his shadow clones, which Naruto discovered the true reason behind them, he managed to master two of the paths: Deva and Animal though not to the full extent of them. Speaking of which, Naruto discovered that he could hide the Rinnegan by shifting it back to normal eyes, though instead of going back to blue his eyes would be purple. It wasn't that it took a drain of his chakra (it actually gave him a boost in that department, not that he needed it) he just didn't want anyone to freak out and make some stupid claim that the Kyuubi was possessing him or some shit like that. He even managed to create his own space-time ninjutsu similar to the Yondaime. He even learned Shinken, the fighting style of his mother's clan, the Uzumaki clan, the latter being quite a shock to him since he never realized that he had clan. Upon hearing that he took an interest in the art that his clan were known for: Fuinjutsu.

Naruto also decided that a change of clothing was called for. But he knew that none of the stores would welcome him so he put on a double layer henge and set to work in finding some new attire. He stayed in the forest the whole entire month so no one could find him either and also so he could have some privacy. But on the third week Naruto decided to take a break and visit Hinata at the hospital. Of course that wasn't really easy since everyone there hated him.

"Oh c'mon I just want to see Hinata-chan! What the hell is wrong with that?" Naruto asked the receptionist as he held the flowers in his hand. They were bouquet of yellow and white flowers.

"Liar! I know that you want to spread your demon taint on the patients here!" The receptionist screamed. Naruto was about to retort when a familiar voice from behind spoke. "Naruto?"

Said boy turned around and saw Kurenai Yuhi standing before him. Naruto smiled, knowing she could help him see Hinata. "Kurenai-sensei, thank Kami you're here!" He said relieved. "Are you here to see Hinata-chan too?"

Kurenai didn't miss the add suffix and suppressed a smile. "Yes I am. And you?" She asked.

Naruto nodded and held up the flowers. "Yeah I wanted to see if she was okay and give her these but this woman won't let me through." He said the last part with a grumble.

Kurenai understood why Naruto wasn't allowed to see anyone and gave the receptionist a glare causing her to shrink behind the desk. "I-I'm sorry but he cannot see Hinata-sama due to obvious reasons." She stammered while trying to compose herself.

Kurenai darkened her glare. "And what reasons would those be?" She asked darkly towards the receptionist.

Said woman gulped and pulled out a piece of paper with the Hyuuga symbol on it. "Hiashi-sama ordered that no one besides himself, Hinata-sama's sister and personal bodyguard and her sensei can see her. That's why this th-I mean boy cannot see her."

Kurenai snatched the paper from the woman and read it carefully and sighed. "I'm afraid she's right Naruto." She said with a bit of regret. Naruto frowned and looked down for a moment. Then his head perked up and he said, "Then if its okay could you give these to Hinata-chan and tell her I hope she gets better?" He asked.

Kurenai smiled and took the flowers. "I would be glad to Naruto. But I think you should focus on your training if you're going to beat Neji."

Naruto nodded. "Yep I've been training very hard." He said before bowing. "Well thanks again Kurenai-sensei. I'll see you at the chunin exams." And with that he ran out the door.

Two Weeks Later

And so the final two weeks quickly came to an end.

Naruto trained harder than before in the forest, however instead on creating new techniques he focused on the ones he already had and managed to create his own Space-Time Ninjutsu called Mikado. The technique was so great and useful that even the Kyuubi had to admit it was impressive, even better then the Yondaime Hokage's Hirashin. He also began practicing in bojutsu and kenjutsu and managed to purchase a good katana and a iron staff while he was henged.

Soon enough the day of the finals had arrived. The stadium was filled to capacity and the genin all began to file into the stadium. Up in the Kage booth, the Hokage, along with his student Jiraiya and the Kazekage were looking down at the field. However only seven of the nine contestants were there the ones who were missing being Sasuke Uchiha and Dosu Kinuta. Soon the Hokage got up and spoke, "Thank you for coming! It is my honor to present to you the genin who will be competing for the title of chunin." Sarutboi said from his sit beside the Kazekage, the leader of the sand village. As he sat down he looked down at Naruto and noticed that he was dressed differently now. Gone was the bright orange jumpsuit replaced with black pants, a black jacket with a hood with an orange swirl of the Uzumaki clan on the back. Strapped to his back was a katana and he also looked a bit taller too and there was a bit of red in his blonde spiky hair. 'But what's different is his aura.' Hiruzen thought as he looked at his surrogate grandson. Jiraiya was also looking down at his godson, wondering where he was all this month. He had hoped to train him for the finals but could never find him.

"I will be the instructor." A jonin said as he came up behind the genin.

They all turned to look at him. He wore his headband backwards over his head, he wore the traditionally jonin cloths, but he had a senbon in his mouth. "My name is Genma, and I'll be your proctor for the Third part of the Exam." He said.

"What happened to Hayate-san?" Naruto asked curiously.

"Don't worry about it. Now everyone else besides the first two combatants should head up to the waiting area." Genma said.

As the other contestants walked up to the waiting area, Naruto took this chance to scan the crowd. To his joy he saw Hinata sitting beside Kiba and Kurenai. She still looked a little weak after her battle with Neji but did her best not to show it.

Naruto closed his eyes and took a deep breath activating his Rinnegan. He opened his eyes and they fell upon the one person that he had been waiting to fight for the longest time.

"You should give up now Uzumaki and save yourself the embarrassment." Neji said with a tone of superiority. "You can't win. It is your fate to fall before me." He said.

Naruto turned to Genma. "Can we begin?" He asked.

"Didn't you hear what I said?" Neji yelled in anger at being ignored.

Naruto turned his eyes toward Neji and even Genma flinched at the stone cold stare he gave the Hyuuga with his Rinnegan.

"Why don't you shut up?" Naruto said in a deep voice as he flared a killing intent large enough to make a regular civilian pass out.

"The first match: Naruto Uzumaki vs Neji Hyuuga, Begin!" Genma yelled.

And in a blink of an eye, Naruto disappeared from his spot and reappeared right in front of Neji, shocking everyone. The Hyuuga prodigy barely had anytime to react before Naruto slammed a powerful punch right into his face, sending him flying backwards.

Everyone was shocked, especially the Hokage, Sakura and all of Naruto's friends. 'That's wasn't a shunshin that he just did, that was almost like the Hirashin!' Hiruzen thought as he looked down at Naruto in shock and awe. Jiraiya and the Kazekage were also looking at Naruto with interest.

But just as Neji was getting up Naruto began forming hand signs so fast that not even the sharingan could read them. "Katon: Grand Fireball jutsu!" And he blew out a large fireball straight towards Neji. However Neji managed to use substitution with a log and managed to get behind Naruto. 'Now I got him.' Neji thought to himself as he lunged his hand forward. But instead of hitting the blond hair boy, it went right through, shocking Neji. 'What?'

Before he could react Naruto spun around and grabbed Neji's arm. Then he landed another punch into Neji's stomach, causing him to cough up more blood. Then Naruto head-butt him causing the Hyuuga to wince in pain. Then Naruto released Neji and said, "Shinra Tensei!" And suddenly Neji was sent flying backwards again, this time by an invisible force.

Neji got up again and pulled out a kunai, but saw that Naruto had disappeared again. "Now where did he go?" Neji asked when he suddenly saw a shadow over him. Naruto was now diving towards him with his sword raised. "Fox Double Pounce! First Pounce!" Naruto shouted and brought his sword down as Neji brought his kunai up to block it.

But instead the sword merely grazes the kunai and as Naruto landed he said, "Second Pounce" And lunged the sword into Neji's stomach. Neji coughed out some blood at the impact and tried to strike Naruto, who instead dodged the attack and jumped backwards, pulling the sword out of Neji.

The crowd couldn't believe what they were seeing. The demon brat who wasn't even breaking a sweat was soundly defeating Neji, last rookie of the year and Hyuuga prodigy. The only people who seemed to be happy were Sakura, since Naruto was her teammate, Hiruzen and Jiraiya, proud to see how far he's gone, Hinata, because her crush was okay, and Kurenai because Naruto was making Neji pay for what he did to Hinata.

"Where's your fate now Neji-teme?" Naruto asked with a grin on his face as he sheathed his sword.

Neji growled at Naruto before he noticed the range that Naruto was in. Neji smirked and got into a stance and said, "Your in my range. Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms!" And struck Naruto quickly.

"Two Strikes!"

"Four Strikes!"

"Eight Strikes!"

"Sixteen Strikes!"

"Thirty-two Strikes!"

"Sixty-four Strikes!" Neji said as he finished off the last moves of his attack…only to see that Naruto wasn't faze at all. Instead if Neji had been looking carefully, he would've seen that all of his strikes at gone through Naruto. "H-how is this possible?" Neji muttered as he looked at Naruto's face and flinched. Naruto was glaring at him fully with his Rinnegan activated. This caused Neji to jump back but it didn't matter, because Naruto raised his hand and muttered. "Bansho Ten'nin"

Then suddenly Neji was pulled towards Naruto by some invisible force, not even given time to react. Once he was close enough Naruto slammed his other fist into Neji's stomach and said, "This is for Hinata-chan! Gankotsu!" He shouted as he twisted his fist clockwise like a key with chakra added into the attack. This caused a hole to appear on both sides of Neji's jacket and made him cough up even more blood. Once Naruto was done he removed his fist and let Neji dropped to the ground. Before Neji blacked out he heard Naruto say, "Fate does not decide for you, you decide for yourself." And with that he walked away.

The audience was stunned silent at what they witnessed. Genma however soon regained his bearings and announced. "Winner Naruto Uzumaki!" And with that the crowd roared in cheers.

Well what do you think? Let me know if its good and I'll continue.

Mikado: God's Gate: Naruto's technique is a gateway that serves for teleportation, absorption, intangibility and containment. Naruto's seals can open portals that either allow objects or people to be teleported somewhere else of Naruto's choosing, or be trapped in his personal dimension and later on release at his will. Naruto can also open small but invisible portals from his own body thanks to the Rinnegan and allows him to avoid physical blows. Meaning that when something tries to hit him, Naruto can either absorb it to his personal dimension for later use, or have it go through one portal on his body and quickly out another, in essence going through him. The reason why he can't teleport it somewhere else is because it takes too much mental power to teleport the object/person to an entirely different location. Naruto can only do that to himself and in order to teleport someone/something to another location, Naruto must teleport them via physical contact to his own personal dimension and then release them in either the same method or from his body in the chose location. The other option is that Naruto creates a seal formula for this technique and places it somewhere.

Shinken: God Fist: The fighting style is when chakra flows through a person's body, not around it, meaning it goes through the blood system acting as both an offense and defense. Offense meaning that the user's physical strength and speed is increased to tenfolds while their endurance and defense is increased similarly. It can only be used by an Uzumaki clan since they possessed strong stamina, bodies, and life force to use the fighting style for long term. If anyone else were to try and attempt it then their bodies would burn down from the inside, unable to withstand the chakra going through their blood stream. Sub-conciously, small bits of chakra go through the Uzumaki members all the time, thus showing why they have just good healing factors.

Gankotsu: Rock Bone: An Uzumaki attack, the user concentrates large amounts of chakra into their arm and fist and slams it into the target's body. The impact makes the target feel like they were being hit by a fist of stone.

P.S Also if anyone would like to use Shinken for their Uzumaki clan fighting style in their stories, PM me or leave a review to get persmission and make sure to leave credit to me when you show it.
