AN: Alright the long awaited third chapter. Also if you have not re-read the first and second chapter some things may confuse you. This chapter will have the teams being made and probably introduce us to the wave arc. So without further introduction lets begin.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, if I did(chuckles evilly) I would have changed so much.

Training Area 45

Naruto had just awakened from his meditation and tearful final goodbye from his mother. He could see Jiraiya looking at him in something akin to shock. "Uhm Jiraiya why are you looking at me like that?" Naruto asked having not noticed it yet.

"Kid I have a lot of questions, but let's start with something easy. You know your glowing correct?" Jiraiya asked him. Naruto looked down and noticed he still had his chakra cloak activated. "Ah I see this is what I look like if I use the Kyuubi's power without doing a tailed beast transformation." Naruto explained powering down.

Jiraiya nodded. "Hmm I see. Next question when did you achieve sage mode? I mean I didn't even no their was another sage and who are you contracted with?" Jiraiya asked.

Naruto just now noticed he still had his sage mode activated with his ears and tail still out. "Well I achieved it 6 months ago, and if you can't tell by the ears and the tail its the panther clan. Also don't ask about them, just know that each sage mode is unique and the ears and tail do have a function." Naruto said sating his curiosity. Jiraiya nodded in understanding.

"Well kid were just about done then. The last I would like to see is if you can do a tailed beast transformation. I know someone from cloud who is able to fully do it and keep their mind in tact." Jiraiya said to him. Naruto nodded.

Naruto clapped his hands together and activated the chakra cloak. 'You ready Kurama?' Naruto asked his tenant. 'Yea kit let's do this. It wont be perfect as this is our first merging and our chakra wont be fully in sync so for now we can only hold it for five minutes.' Kurama answered him. Naruto nodded. He all of a sudden had a cloak grown around him with all the different markings he had on his body. His eyes became red and slitted and he had four rectangular whiskers on his face now. Then in an instant a huge ethereal glowing fox emerged around his body. It had several markings and tattoos around its body. It was a huge nine-tailed fox that looked like it was made of ethereal fire.

Jiraiya looked on in wonder at the beast before him. "Hey kid are you still in control?" He shouted.

"Yea, like I said I have the Kyuubi's respect. So he will allow me to use this form." The fox said back at him. Jiraiya just sweatdropped at the talking fox. Naruto powered down not needing the form anymore. "See perfect control, alright we should probably report back to Jiji. Plus I need some sleep the end of the academy is tomorrow." Naruto said back to normal. Jiraiya nodded and dropped the barrier to which they then Shunshinned to the Hokage's office.

Hokage's office

Jiraiya and Naruto entered the room to find the Hokage waiting for them. "Well?" Hiruzen asked with a raised eyebrow. "The seal is fully unlocked and Naruto has full control and he performed a full transformation right in front of me while staying in control. It was a sight to see Hokage-sama" Jiraiya said formally.

"Good good, I am proud of you Naruto. Naruto your armor is ready, but the mask's will take sometime to craft. Dismissed." Hiruzen said to Naruto. Naruto nodded and left the room.

"Alright Jiraiya, anything new to report?" Hiruzen asked lighting his pipe.

Jiraiya turned serious. "Yes it seems the snake is up to something big. Suna's has gone quiet and a new village called Oto is in talks with them. I don't expect anything big to happen until the Chuunin exams. So where was Naruto all these years? Even with my abilities as a spymaster I only ever got as far as Wave before the trail would go cold." Jiraiya replied seriously and then asked at the end.

"I see. We will have to keep this quiet and prepare just in case. I wont make it seem we are preparing for war because that could tip the visiting villages off but lets be careful." Started Hiruzen. "As for Naruto he was in Wave actually from what he tells me. He was taken in by Ameyuri Ringo and she trained him as her apprentice and successor." Hiruzen informed him. Jiraiya widened his eyes.

"So those sword Naruto have are the Kiba's then? To think he was trained by one of the seven." Jiraiya said. Hiruzen nodded.

"There's more as well. The final test Naruto had to undertake was a battle to the death with his Sensei using only the silent killing technique under the Hidden Mist Jutsu." Hiruzen started and Jiraiya looked a little sad at that. "Naruto won as well. He used his fathers jutsu." Hiruzen informed Jiraiya.

"The rasengan?" Jiraiya asked a little shocked that Naruto already had it. Shaking his head Hiruzen answered. "No Naruto is a genius at seals. He has the Hiraishin Jiraiya and has shown to have the seals on his swords as well." Hiruzen informed seriously. Jiraiya sensing the mood got serious as well.

"I see. So with him having Sage mode, the Kyuubi, the Kiba's and from what you told me he has Jutsu's for Suiton and Raiton as well. That kid has to be one of our strongest ninja then. So why is he in the academy?" Jiraiya asked not seeing the point to that.

"Naruto did not just come back with the Kiba's. His Sensei had a dream for him to realize. She wanted him to recreate the seven. Naruto is in possession of all of the swords except Kubikiribocho and Samehada. He also said he wanted to acquire the Kusangi and the Raijin no Ken. We already have the Raijin no Ken so that's another sword. Naruto himself said he wanted to go to the academy to scout potential recruits because his assasination squad the new generation of the Ninja Swordsmen has been approved." Hiruzen informed.

"I see that's amazing then, but you know the mist wont take this lying down we could go to war over this." Jiraiya informed him. Hiruzen nodded. "yes that is a possibility, but they are still in their civil war and when it is over they will be to weak for retaliation when this squad becomes known. I give it about three years before they are strong enough. Even then by that time we will have most likely acquired the swords and trained a new generation. That will cause them to pause because they would have to prepare." Hiruzen answered. Jiraiya nodded seeing the logic.

"Alright well I will be off now then. I will keep an eye on whats happening with Suna and Oto." jiraiya said leaping from the window.

With Naruto

Naruto was on his was home having picked up his armor from the ANBU headquarters. He couldn't wait to graduate tomorrow because the classes were becoming boring. He arrived home and crashed onto his bed tired from the transformation earlier. 'Naruto before you go to sleep, I wanted to tell you that now I am out of the seal I can amass Nature energy and you can enter sage mode whenever you need it now.' Kurama informed him as he was falling to sleep. Naruto mumbled a thanks before he went to sleep.

The next day at the Academy

Not very many people commented on Naruto now having Anbu armor over his normal clothes. They just assumed he was training to enter Anbu which wasn't a total lie. Iruka and Mizuki then walked into the room.

"Alright class today we will be doing the Genin exams. It will consist of Taijutsu, Shurikenjustu, Ninjutsu, and a written exam. We will be doing the written exam first." Iruka said as he passed out the exams along with Mizuki.

"Begin" and just like that all the students started the exam. The students had one hour to complete the test. When they were done they just had to flip the paper over.

After the test was done everyone headed outside to perform the last of the test they were doing today.

"Alright class next up will Shurikenjutsu. Form a line and we will be passing out ten shuriken and ten kunai. Throw them at the target, hitting the vital areas will grant extra points." Iruka informed. Since the class was filled with clan heirs who trained with their clans and prominent students who trained daily everyone performed well.

"Ok next up is Taijustu, all you have to do is spar with Mizuki-sensei and you win if you land a hit within two minutes." Iruka informed them and then set up a ring for the spars to take place in. Like last time is was an advanced class so most did not have problems landing a hit. Although those who specialized in long range combat suffered a bit they still were passable.

"Last up Naruto Uzumaki." hearing his name called Naruto entered the ring. He had been able to sense the negative emotions the man was giving off so he was on guard. "Hajime" as soon as the match was started Naruto could tell the guy didn't like him because he was fighting way harder than he did with the other students. Even still Naruto punched him across the face sending him out of the ring all without receiving a scratch. 'hey even if taijutsu is my low point doesn't mean I didn't train in it.' Naruto thought as he was announced the winner.

After Iruka helped Mizuki to his feet he told the class it was time for the last test. "Ok last test is Ninjutsu. You will be required to form a clone jutsu, substitution, henge, and an elemental jutsu that was of your element." He said to the class. With that the test began. Like all throughout the day the advanced class had no problems. Shikamaru had fire, Ino water, Choji earth, Sakura earth, Sasuke showed off with a fireball jutsu, Tenten had fire, Shino was a surprise with wind, Rock Lee was excused since his inability even though he was the fastest to hit Mizuki is Taijutsu, The two Hyuuga were excused because of their clans Taijutsu requiring both hands at all times. Finally it was Naruto's turn.

He performed the basic three and showed off a bit with a water clone before it was time for his elemental jutsu. 'Hmm since Sasuke showed off I guess I can too. Time to put to use that giant chakra reserve I have' Naruto thought. While other students required multiple handsigns Naruto just held the serpent sign. "Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu" he called out and a massive water dragon formed from the air. The rest of the people there were shocked. 'He just did what the Nidaime was famous for!' was the collective thought.

"Ha...good job Naruto. Class your test will be scored and we will give you your headbands in about thirty minutes so use this time to get some lunch." Iruka informed them. With that the students left to go get something to eat. Naruto had to shunshin away to avoid fangirls.

30 minutes later

"I am so proud of all of you, you all passed the test. Now for scores Naruto Uzumaki scored the highest in all areas except taijustu. The Rookie of the Year though is Sasuke Uchiha. So congratulations to the two of you." Iruka announced proud of them all. "Now when I call you up come get your headband. Also be here tomorrow morning for team assignments." Iruka said to them. He then called the students up to get their headbands. When it was Naruto's turn he received one with red cloth and tied it around his arm.

XXXX

Naruto spent that night in his room talking with Kurama about his potential squad. He knew he still needed wielders for Nuibari, Kubikiribocho, and Samehada. He just didn't see anymore potentials so he was going to have to look outside of the village during his missions. He finally decided to get some sleep on that thought.

Next morning in the academy classroom

Naruto had sat next to Rock, Tenten, Choji, and Ino. "Hey guys after our team meetings meet me on training ground 1. I need to show you a jutsu that is a requirement of the Ninja swordsmen. Also Gekko has told me that you guys are ready for your swords. Ino is your training with Anko going well? and is your longsword giving you any trouble?" Naruto informed them and then asked Ino. Tenten, Choji, and Rock nodded their heads while Ino answered. "It's going great actually and the snake style suits me well. Also no problems with the sword either." She answered. Naruto nodded as the teacher walked in.

"Let me start off with how proud I am of you(cue Iruka Genin speech) and now for the teams. Team 7 is Naruto Uzumaki, Tenten Higurashi, and Shino Aburame. Your Jonin sensei is Kakashi Hatake. Team 8 is Sasuke Uchiha, Hinata Hyuuga, and Kiba Inuzuka. Your Jonin sensei is Kurenai Yuuhi. Team 9 is Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi. Your Jonin sensei is Asuma Sarutobi. Team 10 is Rock Lee, Neji Hyuuga, and Sakura Haruno. Your Jonin sensei is Guy." Iruka said as he announced off. The newly announced teams moved to sit next to each other.

3 hours later

We find Naruto and Tenten with their eyebrows twitching and from Shino you could here buzzing. "Seriously this is not professional at all. What kind of Jonin doesn't show up for THREE HOURS!" Tenten raged with Naruto and Shino wholehearted agreeing with her. "I am cutting him apart when I see him." Naruto said darkly. Shino just nodded as he was not social much. All of a sudden a door opens. In walked a man with spiky siler hair and a black facemask over his face. He had his headband covering one of his eyes as well. He was dressed as a typical Jonin as well.

"Yo." He said eye smiling.

The three just looked at him irritated but didn't provide an answer. "My first impression of you is that your rude. Meet me on the roof." Kakashi said as he poofed away. Naruto just shunshined away. Tenten and Shino just got up and walked out to the window to walk straight up to the rook.

They arrived to see Kakashi reading along with Naruto sitting on a bench with his hand on his cheek looking bored. They just sat down on both sides of him.

"Alright now that we are all here why don't we introduce ourselves. You know things like your Likes, dislikes goals for the future." Kakashi said disinterested. "You first blondie." Kakashi said pointing to Naruto.

"Sighhh alright my name is Naruto Uzumaki my likes are my previous sensei, swords, and ramen. My dislikes are rapist and the current Mizukage. My goal is halfway realized and that's to recreate the Ninja swordsmen and have us feared across the nations as the Ninja Swordsmen of the Leaf." Naruto said passionately at the end eliciting a giggle from Tenten.

"Thats a good goal to work towards. You next panda" Kakashi pointing to Tenten said. "My name is Tenten Higurashi and my likes are anything weapon related, and creating new weapons. My dislikes people who mistreat their weapons. One of my goals has been realized and that's to obtain a legendary sword. My other is to become Konoha's weapon mistress." Tenten said as she introduced herself.

"Good good, you last quiet guy." Kakashi said pointing towards Shino. Shino readjusted his glasses. "I am Shino Aburame and I like bugs and collecting new bugs for my hives. I dislike people who look down on my clan as disgusting just because our jutsu uses bugs. My goal is to replace my father as clan head." Shino said stoically. Kakashi nodded.

"Alright those are some good goals. Meet me on field 7 tomorrow morning at 7 and don't eat breakfast or you will throw up." Kakashi said shunshinning away.

When he was gone Naruto turned to his new teammates. "What he really means is show up at 10 and eat breakfast or we wont have any energy." he said earning another giggle from Tenten. Shino adjusted his glasses again. "That sounds logical I will see you tomorrow" Shino said and he then disappeared into a gust of bugs.

"Well Tenten shall we?" Naruto asked while placing a hand on her shoulder. She nodded and they disappeared.

Training ground 1

They arrived to see Ino, Choji and Rock all sparring with each other with Gekko and Yugao off to the side giving tips. Anko was there to as well watching Ino with calculative eyes.

"Hey guys sorry were late. Kakashi sensei kept us waiting for three hours before he showed up." Naruto said making everyone aware of their presence. The three older ones nodded in understanding while the three younger ones frowned in confusion.

"Seriously is he a slacker or something?" Ino asked scowling.

"No Kakashi is always like that. He is three hours late to everything." Yugao told them as she knew him personally.

"Alright anyways as to what we are here for. Lee, Choji, Tenten, Gekko told me your ready for your swords." Naruto said as Gekko nodded at that. Naruto rolled up his shirt and a seal appeared on his heart with the Kanji for seven. He unsealed a medium sized blue scroll that looked like the previous one except this one had black markings going all around it.

"This is the special scroll used to seal the seven swords of the mist. I have upgraded it to contain all nine swords with the Kusanagi and Raijin no Ken being added in." Naruto said explaining the significance of the scroll. He unrolled it showing Nine symbols in circles. He put his finger on two of them unsealing the Shibuki A sword that has a scroll full of explosive tags incorporated into it, lined up behind the blade, combining swordsmanship and explosions. He handed it to Lee who instantly started swinging it around to get the hang of it. The other sword was the Kabutowari a sword consisting of a single sided axe and a hammer joined by a length of chain. Said to be capable of crushing any and all defenses. He handed this one to Choji. He then put another finger on a seal and pushed chakra into it unsealing the Himareki A bandaged double-handled sword that is capable of storing and emitting the user's chakra which can then take on various form. He handed it to an over excited Tenten. She grabbed the sword and changed it from a katana to a hammer eliciting a squeal of delight from her.

"Now for the last reason that I needed you all here for. The signature jutsu of the Ninja swordsmen was the Hidden mist jutsu. I am here to teach it to you. Lee you will be the hardest to train this in because there is not another swordsmen in your squad to perform this jutsu so when you have time off of missions we can meet up so I can help you in it. Ino I know your affinity is water and you as well Yugao so you two will get this more easily. Ino since your in Choji's team I suggest the two of you train in this technique as much as possible, Tenten is on my team so I can train with her on the technique the same time I am training Lee with it." Naruto informed them. They all nodded.

"Gekko it would be beneficial if you trained in this jutsu with Yugao since you two do missions together anyways." Naruto said to him to which he nodded. "Alright there is only one handsign for the jutsu and it is this." With that Naruto raised one hand to the sky with a sign and the other in front of his face holding the completed sign his other hand had.

"Water Style: Hidden Mist Justu" He called out and a dense mist rolled into the area. The killing intent rolling of the chakra rich water particles in the air. He let go of the justu and the area cleared up to show him behind Ino with a blade to her neck. "See the usefulness now? This is what an expert at the silent killing technique can do." Naruto warned them when he pulled the blade back. Ino was a little pale at that but she held strong. They all nodded seeing what the jutsu was capable of.

"Good so lets begin." Naruto said instructing the two who could perform the jutsu the easiest on how to do it.

The next day at the 10:00

Naruto strolled into the clearing yawning. He had been up a little later than he wanted to but he was feeling better after he ate breakfest. He spotted Tenten with the Himareki on her back sitting on a log talking to Shino. He waved at them as they waved back. "How long have you guys been here for?" Naruto asked taking a seat next to them. "Around 10 minutes what about you Shino?" Tenten replied.

"15 minutes." He responded back. Just then a poof of smoke appeared showing Kakashi standing there reading a book. "Yo." He said to them. "Good morning Kakashi-sensei." They replied back to him. He put his book away and took out two bells.

"These two bells are your objective for the test to see whether or not your sent back to the academy. Come at me with intent to kill, except for you Naruto." Kakashi said getting a raised eyebrow from his teammates. "I already am aware of Naruto's skill level, as I was privy to the knowledge of his training from his older sister." Kakashi informed them and they just nodded their heads knowing he never went all out in the academy. He then set a timer out on a log. "When this goes off the test is over. Begin." With that the three vanished. Although Naruto took the time to set up precautions so the second he was in the bushes he vanished in a flash of yellow appearing next to the Tenten and before she could even say anything he grabbed her and vanished again.

They appeared next to Shino this time. He nodded to them showing he acknowledged them even if his buzzing was a little louder when Naruto first showed up. "Alright you guys know this is about team work already right?" Naruto asked earning a nod from the two of them.

"Ok the way I see it the bells were never the objective he will just try to convince the two that receive the bells that they shouldn't give it to the third one. Shino was type of specialist are you?" Naruto asked.

"Long to Mid range." Shino responded easily following along with Naruto taking the lead.

"Ok Tenten take short range. I want to see how well your doing with Himareki. I will take mid range with Jutsu. Shino provide support with your clan techniques. We shouldn't go easy on him since he is the white fang of the leaf." Naruto informed them. They nodded and all three set out into the clearing where Kakashi was sitting reading his book. Although he put it away as soon as the three were in the clearing.

"So you figured out it's about teamwork and made a plan to confront me together? Impressive. Well lets see what you got." Kakashi said sliding into a loose stance. With that Tenten took her sword off her back and it shifted into a hammer. She charged in swing it down and Kakashi jumped to the left. The ground exploded upon the hammer hitting it showing Tenten was not holding back. When Kakashi landed he went through fast handsigns and slammed his hands on the ground. "Earth Style: Mud wall Jutsu." He called out and a wall of mud rose from the ground taking in the water balls Naruto shot at him. The balls exploded upon the wall and the water rained down on Kakashi. Instantly he felt his chakra being sapped away and looked down to see that Shino's chakra bugs were in the water Naruto shot at him.

Feeling a foreboding feeling he jumped away again just in time for Tenten hammer to smash down except this time she clipped his arm because he was focusing on the bugs and he felt him self blown away into the small river a few yards away. 'Damn got to remember I am facing legendary swords here and not some lowly genin. At this rate I will have to get serious with them. I am just glad Naruto has not gotten serious yet.' he swam up to the surface and noticed Naruto standing there doing hand signs. His eyes widened. 'Shit that's Kushina's jutsu!' he cursed. "Uzumaki Water Style: Whirlpool Jutsu!" Naruto called out slamming his hand on the water. The water around Kakashi started swirling him around catching him in a whirlpool and he couldn't perform a substitution thanks to the ingenious of the Uzumaki Water Style. They literally infuse their water Jutsu with seals to prevent escape. He felt the water became dense and knew it was over. "Water Style: Water Prison Jutsu!" Naruto called and Kakashi was raised into a bubble of water with seals going across it.

"Shino use your water proof bugs to drain him of chakra." Naruto called out knowing it was over.

Something was bothering Kakashi and he decided to question it. "Wont that take to long Naruto the timer will expire." He said as he felt the bugs attach to him.

"Well I could electrocute the water(cue sweat drop and nervous sweat) but you kinda did leave it out there for me to tinker with and place seals on it to make it keep going. You never said when the test was over only that it was when the timer went off." Naruto said smirking under his face mask.

Hearing this Kakashi sighed or at least tried to under water and raised his hands showing his surrender. Naruto let go of the jutsu allowing Kakashi to get out of it. "Alright you guys win. From today on forward we are team 7. Meet me here for missions tomorrow at the same time today." He said as they nodded and left to eat a celebratory dinner. When they were gone Kakashi sighed again. "Sheesh what a monster this team will be, but oh well at least it's not against me." He muttered walking away to report to the Hokage.
