Hey guys and girls.

Firstly, I apologize for the long wait you had to endure for this chapter of Stone Cold Hunter.

Had some things needing to be taken care of. As well as the sudden burst of insipration for the new fanfic, Devil Of The Elemental Nations.

As well, the poll for the 2 women to be added into the harem of Devil Of The Elemental Nations will remain open until the next chapter is released. Get those votes in ASAP as the new chapter for that fanfic is close to being finished.

So, here it is, the long awaited chapter for Stone Cold Hunter.

The last place we left off was where Naruto had just committed something he never thought he would do. Murder. He just shot someone a few times in the rage of seeing his own whore of a mother sucking the man off. Of course this was only his imagination, but it felt too real for him.

As well, Kushina faces a lot of time in prison for committing two crimes. Trying to incriminate evidence and also pedophilia.

What will happen to Naruto now that he is brought to this place?

Enjoy.

Disclaimers: I own nothing.

Opening song: Coldrain - Feed The Fire.

Chapter 3: Testing Of Will.

Waking up to a new morning on the island, Naruto sat up groggly as he wiped the sleep from his eyes. It was 5 in the morning. He didn't get much sleep last night as he had just shot someone. He kept telling himself it was an accident. Yet his body told him it was intentional. His body wanted to shoot him.

Despite it being wrong to take another person's life, some part of him. His deep dark sub-conscience told him it was a perfect thrill. A real high for him. The feeling of takig another man's life. It felt so good to do that.

This was his true persona. The dark thoughts that plagued his mind everytime he studied. Or tried to study while hearing another man his age fuck his mother. These dark thoughts began to manifest itself into a being that was truly unholy.

He went to therapy at his school and they helped get the thoughts under control. Of course he never told the psychologist about his mother's...escapades. But it did help him.

And all it took was a few bullets to bring everything he worked on to come crashing down.

Getting dressed in the uniform given to him, he headed outside and found himself now in the class he was meant to be. It felt kinda wierd for him to get a unifrom as this was place he'd be trained to kill.

Looking around he found it odd that there were no desks. No chairs either. The only thing there was a chalkboard that looked to be bolted to the wall.

"What's this?" asked one of the students.

"No clue." said another as the last of the students came into the room.

The minute the last student got into the class, the doors slammed shut.

Students soon began to panic as they grabbed the door and began to pull.

But they needn't have bothered. The door was sealed shut. At that moment, there was a clicking sound. Everyone went quiet. Scanning the room as to what made that noise, they heard a scraping noise. Coming from above.

The ceiling was moving. Rather, it was getting closer. They were to be crushed. Many of the students freaked out at how this was not even funny anymore. Begging to whoever was there to stop this farce and open the door. But their cries fell on deaf ears. The ceiling was getting closer.

Many of the students. At least 34% of them broke down in tears and began to rock back and forth at how they were going to die. Some even began to yell that they never signed up for this.

At that moment, Naruto remembered something. What his father told him when he went on his trip to Canada the one day. His father told him: "Never freak out. Think calmly and find a way. Even if you're locked in a room and the ceiling is falling down ready to crush you. There is always a way to either stop the ceiling. Or to escape."

Steeling himself as he began to process what he had at hand. He looked around. The door was shut and locked. So escape was out of the question. The only option left was to stop the ceiling from falling. But what exactly?

The room had no windows. There were no desks or chairs.

Looking to the chalkboard, he had a hunch. A feeling that the chalkboard was not actually bolted to the wall.

The ceiling was closing in dangerously. Any 10 seconds longer and using the board would be out. Sprinting to the chalkboard, he yanked it off and found it was never actually bolted to the wall. It was just hanging on the wall.

Setting it up to where the one side will catch the ceiling, Naruto soon braced for impact along with the other students.

The ceiling soon came down. To their shock and surprise, the chalkboard held up the ceiling. Looking to see the ceiling dangerously close to them, they soon heard a click and the ceiling returned to where it originally was.

The students cheered and patted Naruto on the back for what he did. Never in his life, Naruto never thought that the advice his father gave him was from something like this. As the students celebrated, the door flew open to reveal the same blue haired woman from yesterday standing there.

"Naruto Namikaze, follow me." she barked/ordered.

Deciding to just do what he was told, Naruto followed the woman. Leading him to the other side of the school/facility. During the walk, something dawned on Naruto. This woman clearly called him Namikaze. When he clearly remembered putting his surname as either nothing or as Uzumaki. He couldn't remember properly but he was leaning towards the former. How did this woman know he other surname?

Getting to a door, Naruto watched the woman knock. A deep low voice sounded behind the door. Instructing them to enter.

Opening the door, Naruto found a woman with deep black hair and deep red eyes. A man sitting behind a desk who too had black hair though his eyes were black. The woman shoved Naruto into a seat before the man at the desk as he the man looked at him.

"I hope you know why I called you." barked the man. "You showed the exact same resourcefullness as your father when he went through the same training you did once upon a time."

That intrigued Naruto.

"Wait. You knew my father?" querried Naruto.

"How could I not. He was the finest agent we've ever produced. And when I heard he was having a son, I felt that his legacy, and his prowess would be passed on. But when I heard from Esdeath here that you chickened out of shooting the one who didn't make it. I feared you were a wuss. Turns out, if pressing the right buttons get shit done, then you are the biggest coward I've ever seen."

"I'm no coward." growled Naruto.

"Yes you are. Allowing Esdeath to play on your emotions just to pull the trigger. That's a coward in my books. The members of Akatsuki are hardened spies. Ready to kill, battle and on some occasions...fuck the enemy just to complete a mission. Ready to die at a moment's notice. Not bitch out and dip." snapped back the man.

"But don't worry you will be the legacy of your father. You will undergo a strict training regime. Esdeath and Raven here will be your trainers. You will feel like you want to die. You will feel like you will be dead on many occasions. But at the end of your crucible training. You will be the man worthy of inheriting your father's ID. The legendary codename 9029."

"What do you mean?" asked Naruto not seeing what he was getting at.

"You were the only person to ever think of that in your class. You and only 12 other people did the same but with different methods. You will be trained to be an elite. A member of the Crows. The elitest force in Akatsuki." barked the Raven looking at the man.

"Get it now, shortstack?" said the man. "You will be completing your training here. And when we are done. You will be the best agent we've ever produced."

And scene.

Now that was something.

Naruto will be trained to be a Crow, the highest level of elite in the Akatsuki organisation. Should he do this, he will gain his father's codename. 9029. And that test he faced, the falling ceiling.

He never thought that the advice his father gave him would apply exactly to this test. There was only one thing that could be said. Naruto's father was an agent in Akatsuki. A legend among them.

What does this now mean for Naruto?

Find out next time.

Chapter 4: Drills Galore.
