Chapter 25: Chunin exams [1]
It's been a few weeks since Team 7 came from the Land of Waves mission, half the village was talking about their mission. They were shocked that Team 7 faced Momochi Zabuza one of the 7 Swordsman of the Mist, not one but two times. Since no one knew the exact details they thought it was Kakashi who dealt with him.
Team 7 was walking in the street after finishing an D-rank mission. Sakura was asking Sasuke on a date, Kakashi was freely reading his Icha Icha, Naruto was thinking how to torture Sakura for her fangirling attitude and pondering for a while and named his Dojutsu as 'Kitsugan'.Then there was a bird hovering in the air, Kakashi and Naruto looked at the bird and knew that it's time.
"You guys can go home, I'll give the mission repot to the Hokage office" Kakashi said and just Shunshined away. Sasuke just turned away mumbling about boring D-rank mission and training. Sakura started to stalk *cough* follow Ducky chan, just not to get caught in their drama Naruto walked away in opposite direction. He then sensed an enormous chakra and took off in that direction.
'You sensed that Kurama' Naruto confirmed.
'Yeah I did, it's one of my siblings that one tailed tanuki {Raccoon}' Kurama got excited.
'Feels like you want to kick his ass' Naruto grinned.
'hmph he is not my equal. I can take him down with a swing of my tails' Kurama said and closed his eyes.
When Naruto came to a street he could see 2 teenagers. One is a young man wearing a black pajama with makeup on his face and carrying something on his back. Another is a young woman with four blonde pigtails a purple long sleeved outfit cut just under her shoulders and that ended half way down her thighs, and was carrying a huge fan behind her. He immediateky recognized them as Kankuro and Temari, the thing was surprising to him was that Kankuro was holding Konohamaru with his collar. Naruto thought that somethings that must happen will happen regardless of small change.
"Oi tanuki in jacket put him down" Naruto said while casually walking towards them.
"BOSS!!" Konohamaru shouted.
"Hmph here comes another trash" Kankuro retorted and tightened his grip on Konohamaru. After that Kankuro could see the kid in his arm is back with his friends and the new comer near then.
'He's fast' both Kankuro and Temari thought.
"If I'm not wrong, you came for Chunin exams right? Then it is best to not provoke someone or try to beat up Hokage's grandkid" Naruto pointed towards Kankuro with a firm gaze.
'Shit It would have been trouble' Kankuro cursed himself.
"Anyway, hey there beautiful lady I'm Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto. May I Know your Name?" Naruto did a 180 towards Temari to which she had a slight blush and thought that someone had called her beautiful and gave her name unconsciously.
"Te-Temari" Temari stuttered a bit. Kankuro was gritting his teeth that he was suddenly vanished from Naruto's sight like nothing.
"I was doing a D-rank mission trying to find this old man's pet tanuki. His name is Shu, he is a fiesty little asshole. Have you seen him?" Naruto knew that she was smart enough to catch these clues, he got all information about Shukaku and it's connection to Suna from Kurama just in case.
"No we didn't see anything" Temari said nervously. Naruto confirmed that she took the bait.
"Hey don't ignore me" Kankuro was totally irritated.
"Hmm sorry man even though you are wearing makeup I'm not interested, I don't swing that way" Naruto said in a jovial sense. Temari was slightly giggling about the comment. Kankuro was fuming from his ears and took the thing from his back. That time Sakura unexpectedly came there and watched the confrontation. Naruto smirked at how Sasuke escaped Sakura and hiding nearby.
"Ka-Kankuro you are not going to use it, are you?" Temari was nervous about the possibility of a fight.
"I already told you I'm not interested in boys who are acting like a lady, just go wait in the tree with those two" Naruto said while pointing at a nearby tree. Looking at it Kankuro and Temari was in a slight fear, Sasuke was confused how Naruto mentioning two people, then he heard someone nearby and shocked.
"Kankuro stop or I'll kill you" Gaara said in his stoic manner, meanwhile Sasuke was internally shouting 'WHERE THE FUCK DID HE CAME FROM!! I DIDN'T SENSE HIM AT ALL!!!'. Gaara came down in a sand shunshin and Sasuke just jumped down.
"Sasuke kuuuun" Sakura just doesn't read the atmosphere.
"G-Gaara, they were the one who bumped into me" Kankuro shuddered in fear.
"Shut up!!" Gaara ordered.
'Liz I sense 3 of Gaara' Naruto was confused.
'You are actually sensing souls in your vicinity because of your new jutsu. He seems to have 3 souls in his body' Liz explained. Naruto suddenly remembered that Gaara's mother's soul is imbuded in the sand and that's why 3 souls.
(DING!! Mission : Reunite Gaara and his mother)
(Status : Ongoing)
(Rewards : Mastery over Wind element)
'Haah my Soul control jutsu has many purposes in the chunin exams' Naruto inwardly sighed.
"What's your name" Sasuke asked completely ignoring Sakura.
"Sabaku no Gaara" Gaara said with a full authority. The trio then turned and walked some distance but Gaara stopped and turned around.
"What's your name?" Gaara asked emotionlessly.
"Hn Uchiha Sasuke" Sasuke said with a smug expression and he smirked thinking about his Uchiha pride.
"Not you, the one behind you" Gaara said while totally destroying Sasuke's pride.
"Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto" Naruto said with a wide grin because of the huge blow to emo kun.
"Good remember me because I'll be the one to kill you, kaa san needs your blood" Gaara said in his usual tone.
"Okay say hi to her for me instead, I'll meet her later. See you later beautiful lady" Naruto said while waving his hand. Temari slightly blushed and went behind her brothers. Sasuke was glaring daggers at Naruto for stealing his spot light.
-At Hokage tower-
Hokage tower is filled with jonin instructors standing in front of Hiruzen who was puffing his tobacco pipe.
"It's already that time of the year huh?" Kakashi said breaking the silence.
"Yes. This year we are conducting chunin exams, everything is being prepared. Jonin sensei's who think their student's are qualified enough can nominate them" Hiruzen added. Next Kakashi, Kurenai and Asuma continuously nominated their students. There were gasps in the whole room, it's been many years since fresh genin teams attend chunin exams. Iruka started to shout that they are just kids but was put down by both Kakashi and Hiruzen only after accepting for a preliminary exam for the rookies.
After a few hours Naruto was walking on the streets with a small smile in his face. He can sense Temari following him in a distance. He then went towards a low crowded area and waited in an alleyway. In a few minutes Temari entered the alleyway and was staring at him.
"So you realized I was following you huh?" asked Temari in a stern voice and shouting at herself internally to not to blush.
"Uh huh, so now the question is why?" Naruto replied calmly while closing the distance between them and making her blush.
"You know why, you were looking for Gaara. No Konoha shinobi should know him, unless...." she paused and hit a wall behind her.
"Unless?" he asked raising an eyebrow placing his hand on the wall pinning her.
"Unless you are the spy for Orochimaru" Temari said with a slight blush. Naruto placed his hands on her shoulder while smiling, giving a slight pressure on a few pressure points and knocking her out. He then teleported her to his apartment using Hiraishin no jutsu and tied her to a chair, sealing her chakra, taking her weapons and placing paralysis tag on her.
'Now why would Suna shinobi and jinchuriki should contact Orochimaru spy in Konoha' Naruto asked inwardly.
'Naruto you should inform Sandaimae, Orochimaru is dangerous' Minato adviced Naruto to not to act alone.
'Haaaa first let me get in depth information of the situation. It's a good thing I caught a few things from Ino, Kurama I need some help even Ino is still practicing this technique' Naruto saying that and drank some water.
'Be careful Naruto' Kushina warned him and he nodded.
'Naruto since I am Yang half I can only help you slightly with your yin affinity, so whatever you are planning to do do it quick' Kurama getting ready to help and Naruto placed his hand on Temari's head to probe her head. In a few minutes Naruto came out of the daze and released her head and was panting hard.
{A/N: Looks like MC is gonna change canon}
'Phew that took a lot, did you guys got the information' Naruto asked.
'Yes Naruto, Kazekage and Orochimaru are trying to provoke a war' Minato entered into thinking mode.
'It's a good thing I changed her memories of me in alleyway, all she will remember is how I tried to flirt with her' Naruto sighed. even though Naruto was claiming to have changed the memories by jutsu, he actually did it by a seal from his shop.
'She should be unconscious for at least 2 hours, I'll go and inform jiji' saying that he just shunshined towards Hokage office.
