Chapter 45: Chapter 45
In a training area of Konoha*
"It will be just like before. You will try to get the bells from me. But this time I will fight seriously. So take care of yourself." Kakashi said, then he adjusted the forehead protector covering his left eye. Thus, his Sharingan was revealed.
Then Sakura suddenly jumped aside and hid in the bushes.
Naruto, on the other hand, ran directly towards Kakashi from where he was and started attacking him.
Both attacked each other for a while using taijutsu, after they walked away from each other without much injury.
"Naruto's taijutsu is just as good as mine. But I feel he is holding himself back, so he may be more proficient in taijutsu than me." Kakashi thought.
Later, Kakashi noticed that several things had changed in Naruto's body.
Naruto began to absorb natural energy to enter his sage mode. The sage mode he used was different from the one in the canon because he had not learned it from the toads. The technique he used was purely Shinju's.
Lines began to appear on his body starting from his face when Naruto entered his sage mode. Also, the pupils of the eyes had changed.
It was the first phase of the sage mode he is currently using. In the later stages, his strength increased even more, and his body was also changing.
Naruto smiled and looked at Kakashi and asked, "Are you ready?"
Kakashi couldn't answer as he suddenly felt in danger.
Jiraiya and Tsunade, who were watching the match at that time, were looking at Naruto in surprise.
"The elder frog was right when it said, Naruto learned to use his sage mode. I can feel the natural energy radiating from it even from here." Jiraiya thought.
Naruto swung his fist in Kakashi's direction. All of a sudden, a huge flame burst out from the front of Naruto's fist and headed towards Kakashi.
"What the heck? How could he use fire jutsu when he didn't make hand seals?" Kakashi thought as he ran away from the fire.
Naruto kicked the ground and pulled a large rock out of the ground. He then kicked the rock, and the shattered stones quickly hurled towards Kakashi.
Kakashi was trying to dodge the rocks that came to him while trying to escape. But from time to time some of them were hit hard on his body, even though he was able to dodge most of them.
As Naruto watched the sweaty Kakashi while grinning, another idea came to his mind. After covering his arms with water, he changed the shape of the water and turned it into a whip. Then he started to throw his hands quickly.
Kakashi suddenly felt something hit his back as he was trying to get away from the rocks. It hurt so much that he thought the affected area would definitely turn bruised.
"Ahh!" Kakashi once again felt something hard-hitting his back then he looked to see what had happened and couldn't believe what he saw.
Naruto was whipping him with water from his hands? WTF? How can this be?
When the water whip touched Kakashi once again, this time it changed shape and began to wrap around his body.
"Damn it! Enough! I don't want to fight anymore!" Kakashi said as he felt his bones almost break from the water surrounding his body.
Naruto smiled and thought as he pulled back the water, "Anko will definitely like this technique. I can't wait to try it on. And Hinata... Well, I don't think she's like that. But it wouldn't hurt to try, who knows, maybe she actually likes it?"
One of the abilities of Naruto's sage mode was that he could easily bend 5 elements. Of course, it should be noted that this is the feature of the first stage of the sage mode. Because in the later stages, this feature was much more advanced.
Tsunade and Jiraiya came out of their hiding place and went to Naruto.
"Naruto, how could you use jutsu without making hand seals?" Tsunade asked curiously.
"Through my sage mode, I can use the 5 elements without hand seals. I also spend almost no chakra doing it." Naruto said as he exited his sage mode and returned to his original form.
He then asked, "So how was I? Am I strong enough?"
Tsunade nodded, then she said, "Yes, you're much stronger than before. Also, I think you're comfortably at the Jonin level right now. So I will recommend you for the rank of Jonin."
At that moment, Kakashi approached them while holding the aching parts of his own body.
Tsunade stared at Kakashi for a while, then she said, "I recommend that you go to the hospital and show a medical-nin about your injuries."
Kakashi nods in agreement, then looks at Naruto as if accusing him.
"Why are you looking at me? Aren't you the one who wanted us to attack like we were going to kill you? To remind you, you must have said about 3 years ago." Naruto said with a grin.
"Eh? Shouldn't I be fighting too? Weren't we taught teamwork?" Sakura thought while still hiding in the bushes. She was embarrassed to go outside.
After Naruto left the training ground, he went home.
He realized that no one was in the house when entered the door. Then he decided to cook to surprise them.
He cooked a nice dinner, after taking a look at the ingredients available, and set the table. Of course, thanks to shadow clones, he was able to handle them quickly.
After a while, the door of the house opened and Anko and Karin entered.
"There's someone inside," Anko said as she smelled the smell of the cooking food.
Karin, on the other hand, had already closed her eyes, trying to find the person.
"Oh? Naruto is here!" Karin said happily when she sensed the person in the kitchen.
Anko suddenly ran towards where the scent came from. Karin followed her with a smile.
Anko froze when she saw him.
"I'm back." Naruto said with a sincere smile.
He then went to Anko and started to hug her. Anko hugged him tightly as her eyes wet.
Karin, on the other hand, was watching them with a happy expression nearby, but inside she was also jealous. After all, she missed Naruto too.
Naruto looked at Karin shortly after, then grabbed her by the arms and pulled her towards himself, including her in the embrace.
After they hugged each other for a while, Naruto said, "The food is already ready, let's eat."
They settled down at the table, after nodding their heads in agreement, and began to eat.
Both of them had grown considerably, especially Karin's curves had become more pronounced. Also, another change on Karin was that she had a diamond-shaped seal in the middle of her forehead. That mark must be the Strength of a Hundred Seal as Naruto knows.
Anko asked as she ate, "Well tell me, have you found any other girlfriends in the past 3 years?"
"Well… Yes, I found one." Naruto said.
"So you found it, as expected of you... Who? What's she like?" Anko asked.
Karin, on the other hand, watched the unfolding event with interest.
"Her name is Mei Terumi. Kiragakure's Mizukage." Naruto said.
"What? You recruited a Kage into your harem!? How did you manage to do that!?" Anko said in surprise. Karin was also quite surprised.
"The situation developed like that, after staying in her village for a while." Naruto said.
After eating*
Anko approached Naruto and whispered lustfully in his ear, "Do you want to do it tonight?"
Naruto endured the lustful whisper he heard, then said, "How about doing it in a few days? I'm developing a technique that I think you'll love. I think we will have a lot of fun after developing it."
"Hmm... Well, I'll give you some time. But I hope it's worth the wait. We're going to sleep together tonight anyway. I miss you." Anko said after thinking for a while. She then went after kissing Naruto on the lips.
