Chapter 11- Traveling to Kumo

(Time Skip Two weeks later)

Naruto had been training the entire two weeks since their first C rank mission. He had hardly seen Nieo and Yugao at all besides for the d rank missions they did. He had finally mastered one tail mode to the point that he could just think it and the chakra would follow his command. Naruto also had found out about the type of sword he had when he pushed some of his chakra into the sword changing it into a Katana with the blade being pure white as the hilt of the sword was red with a hint of blue in it. He knew he needed to figure out what the sword did and how it was used so he ended up staying at training ground fifteen longer then he expected he would.

"Damn I still don't know how this sword works, maybe I need to push chakra into it as I swing it" Naruto thought swinging the blade forward at a training dummy that was right in front of him. He did not expect a blade of wind the size of his sword to connect with the training dummy shredding it to pieces. Some of the pieces flung back hitting Naruto as scratches and cuts appeared all over once he connected with a tree himself from the intense wind blade.

"So that's what it does I got to remember to be careful next time I use it. I don't want to end up killing myself" Naruto thought. Naruto slowly got up soar from the impact with the tree. Naruto looked at the sword in his hand and he decided to test a theory he just came up with.

Naruto started channeling Kyuubi's chakra through out his body forming the one tailed cloak around him. He was not done through as he pushed some of Kyuubi's chakra into his sword as well. Right before his eyes the sword shifted colors changing from a pure white to a deep crimson color. He now knew to be careful with what ever this sword produced so he walked a little distance away from a training dummy before he swung his sword in a horizontal ark. What come out amazed him, flames shot out in all directions burning everything in it's path. Naruto jumped back as the fire swept the training ground.

"Crap this is not good" Naruto shouted out at the roaring flames because he had no water jutsu to put the fames out before him. Lucky or not water appeared dousing the flames in a couple of seconds. Naruto turned towards the person who used the water jutsu to put it out.

"Thanks for putting the fire out for me I would never have been able to have done that" Naruto said scratching the back of his head. Naruto then noticed the person before him was Yugao and she did not look happy. He quickly pushed the red chakra back into the seal letting the sword in his hand to shift back to being the normal silver color that it was before he put chakra into it.

"Hey Yugao I didn't think that I would see you here because it is a little early to be up isn't it. We don't start missions till later as well" Naruto told her. He sheathed his sword and began taking a couple steps back seeing the stern look in her eyes making him gulp in fear.

"When are you going to tell me what that red chakra is and the other things that you never told me about. You promised you would tell me but you still did not tell me and it has been two weeks already. Can you please tell me now I will understand I promise" Yugao told Naruto as she walked up to him.

Naruto sighed because he knew he could not get out of this now. Naruto and Yugao sat down against a tree as he began to tell her the story about the Kyuubi and the fourth hokage. He also told her that the nine tailed fox was sealed inside of him. Yugao had looked shock after she was told that but she understand that they were two different things. She could tell the difference between Naruto's blue chakra and the Kyuubi's red chakra that Naruto used.

"I understand Naruto but you did not have to keep that hidden you should trust me and Nieo more. We would have not thought that you were the fox" Yugao told him. Naruto sighed in relief at finally getting off his chest. He did not notice that Nieo was now standing in front of them but they would soon.

"Yeah Naruto you should trust us more. We are friends after all I can tell the difference between two different things" Nieo said. Naruto and Yugao looked up at him once he had finished talking.

"When did you get here Nieo" Naruto asked him. Yugao eyes widened though because she was supposed to bring Naruto to training ground two right away but she didn't.

"I am here to get you two and bring you guys to training ground two for a team meeting. Yugao was supposed to get you Naruto but looks like she lost track of time" Nieo explained to Naruto. Yugao blushed embarrassed that she had forgot.

"Well then we should not keep Ibiki sensei waiting any longer or he will torture us for not getting their quick enough" Naruto said. He got up from against the tree. Naruto turned and pulled Yugao up as well. Team ten then jumped into the tree line heading to training ground two.

"Where the hell are those brats. If they are not here soon I think I will tell the hokage that I reconsidered signing them up" Ibiki thought. Right when he was done with the train of thought team ten broke passed the tree line in training ground two. Team ten landed in front of Ibiki out of breath.

"It took you guys long enough, were you having a tea party" Ibiki sensei mocked them with a smirk on his face. Naruto growled out from the mock displayed from Ibiki but he did not attack him.

"Naruto was telling us about the Kyuubi that was sealed inside of him that's why we were late" Yugao told Ibiki. Ibiki smirked when he looked at them because he noticed they did not hate Naruto for housing the Kyuubi.

"That's a good reason I suppose but when we get back from Kumo team ten's training will be doubled for not getting here on time" Ibiki told them. Team ten looked at Ibiki in shock until they realized that he said when they got back from Kumo.

"What do you mean sensei. Why are we going to Kumo for" Naruto asked Ibiki. The rest of team ten wanted to know as well.

"The reason team ten is going to go to Kumo tomorrow morning is for the chunin exams that are being held their in a weeks time. I signed you guys up this morning" Ibiki explained. They all got excited at the news of finally getting the chance to become chunin and not have to do anymore D ranked missions.

"Though I am only taking you guys if you prove worthy right now in a spar. You each have to get at least one hit on me and your time limit is three hours. The reason I am being so harsh is that you're the only Konoha team that will be participating in this years chunin exams in Kumo so I want to make sure you guys won't look bad. I will spar each of you one after the other in single matches then we will do a team match. You each have only one hour to land a hit on me by yourselves" Ibiki explained as he looked between the three of them to decide who will go first. Naruto was hoping to go first to try out his new sword techniques he just obtained but his hope was quickly put out when Nieo was called up.

Nieo got into his stance preparing himself. Ibiki told him to begin so they began to clash back and forth with kunai at first then they accelerated with ninjutsu and taijutsu. After about forty minutes of fighting a kunai knicked Ibiki in the shoulder by Nieo who had thrown it right after backing up from a taijutsu fight with Ibiki. Ibiki smirked knowingly because he was caught.

"Well it looks like you passed Nieo just hope that your team mates can do the same" Ibiki told him. Nieo walked towards Naruto as Yugao was called up.

"Good job Nieo but I wish I was called first I want to tear sensei up" Naruto said. Nieo stood next to Naruto.

"Your battle is next anyway so it doesn't matter right" Nieo told Naruto who nodded in agreement with Nieo statement but their talking was interrupted by a shout.

"Suiton water pulse" Yugao shouted out as water rose up from the lake near the training ground and shot at Ibiki who was standing near Naruto and Nieo. Ibiki jumped out of the way at the last minute making the water slam in Naruto and Nieo sending them backwards collapsing on the ground. Naruto started coughing up water because some of it had got into his lungs from the attack.

"Sorry Naruto and Yugao I will make sure you guys are not their next time" Yugao told them laughing a bit from the faces that Naruto and Nieo were making at her before she blocked a punch aimed at her gut by Ibiki. They went into a taijutsu match until Yugao shot off another water jutsu that hit Ibiki's side when he tried to dodge it but he was to close to Yugao to dodge it fully.

"You pass to Yugao so next up is Naruto" Ibiki sensei said. Naruto walked about about ten feet away from Ibiki getting into a stance as he unsheathed his sword from off his back. Ibiki pulled out a ninjato that he had from being in anbu.

"I can use anything to win right Ibiki sensei" Naruto asked unsure. Ibiki nodded showing that he was aloud making Naruto smirk. Ibiki already was informed by the hokage that the raikage was already told that their jinchuuriki would be in the chunin exams so Naruto did not need to hold anything back.

Red chakra started surrounding Naruto as he was incased in a chakra cloak. The cloak grew one tail indicating that he was in his one tailed stated because that would be all he needed to win.

"This will be over quickly" Naruto said quietly as he pushed some the Kyuubi's chakra into the sword changing the color of it to pure crimson. Ibiki actually felt fear from what was to come even though he was a jonin he knew how powerful Naruto could be with the Kyuubi's cloak on. He saw Naruto kill and A ranked missing ninja after all so he knew to be careful although the fight would be hard on him.

"You will be the first one to try out my new sword abilities so tell me what you think once we are done or during" Naruto told him as he brought his sword up in quick succession and swung it in a horizontal ark then a vertical ark twice.

"Katon fire sparrows" Naruto shouted out as around twenty small balls of fire shot out of the sword aimed for Ibiki. Ibiki dodged to the right. Ibiki thought he had dodged it but two of the small fire balls slammed into Ibiki's stomach surprising him. He thought he had dodged all of them. He threw off his cloak because it was burning to fast to save it.

"What the hell was that" Ibiki thought as he looked at the fire damage all around him. The grass and the trees around him were burning at a fast pace. He also had burn marks on his legs and arms because he came in close contact with the flames. His thoughts were interrupted when Naruto appeared in front of him poised to slash Ibiki in half.

"Did you like my new fire attack. The fire burns more because of it being the Kyuubi's chakra that was used and that the fire could be controlled by which way I swing my sword. That is why two of the fire balls still hit you" Naruto said brining his sword across but Ibiki jumped back from the slash but was still hit with the fire that came out of the sword after the slash. He disposed of his anbu sword because part of it was melted now from the intense heat.

"You pass Naruto I don't need to see anymore" Ibiki explained to Naruto. Naruto dispersed the one tailed cloak from around him. The sword turned back to it's normal state as he sheathed it.

"Awe but I wanted to test the wind blades my sword produces as well" Naruto said pouting slightly. Ibiki sweat dropped as he walked in front of team ten who were all standing next to each other now.

Ibiki shook his head in exasperation thinking that Naruto had to be crazy like a certain snake lady he knew.

"Alright team seven you guys are good enough to enter in the chunin exams I don't even have to check to see how good you guys fight as a team. So let's continue team training from where we left off. Yugao and Nieo you guys still have to work on water walking you are to complete this by tomorrow morning if you can and Naruto continue trying to harness the kyuubi's power. Also work on your new jutsu that you have come up with on you own" Ibiki told them as they got to work. Ibiki left the training to go get a new cloak because his old on was burnt to a crisp by Naruto.

About two hours later Ibiki had returned. When he entered the training ground he was surprised to see multiple trees were cut down and other trees were burnt. He was surprised at the amount of damage done to the training groung. He noticed Naruto in the center of the training ground with a two tailed cloak on.

"I guess he is trying to master the two tailed cloak now. I would ask him for another spar but I will probably end up with another burnt cloak and these things are hard to come by. I only have about two of them left because they were specially made" Ibiki thought as he made his way through the training ground to the lake and began to help Yugao and Nieo with water walking. Yugao was able to water walk longer now then Nieo because the thoughts that distracted her before were not their now.

"Good works guys but you need to continuing supply your feet the needed chakra while keeping your balance on the surface of the water" Ibiki explained to the as they continued to train throughout the afternoon hours.

When it started to get dark Ibiki called them all back to the field in training ground two. Once team ten all got their. Ibiki told them to meet at the gates of Konoha tomorrow morning at eight sharp and if they weren't their on time they would not be going to the chunn exams. He disappeared in a puff of smoke after he gave them an evil grin which creped each of them out.

Yugao and Nieo left as well an hour later leaving Naruto as the only one left in the training ground which means he didn't have to hold back anymore. Naruto shifted in to a new stance he had created. Naruto unsheathed his sword in a smooth yet calm rhythm. He pushed his normal chakra into the sword making it turn into a white katana before his eyes. He brought the sword down in a quick ark. A blade of wind shot forward. Naruto ran forward right behind the wind blade gaining speed he never felt before because the wind blade in front of him cut the air in front of him as he ran leaving less resistance for him to push through. He saw the wind blade cut into the tree he aimed at before he brought up his his sword and swung it horizontally. The tree cut right in half because of the speed and the wind power imbedded in his sword now.

"This will come in handy during the chunin exams in a week. No one will expect this from me since I am only a kid" Naruto thought grinning to himself at his accomplishment.

He trained with his sword through out the night with both wind and fire techniques the sword produced. He also continued to train his two tailed stated once he thought his sword moves were good enough for the time being.

He opened his eyes once he spotted the training ground start to get brighter. Naruto looked up spotting the sun starting to rise above the tree line indicating to him it was around seven o clock.

"I guess I was training all night again, I don't even remember sleeping in my bed because I have not slept inf my bed for so long" Naruto thought. He tiredly got off the ground from his meditation position on the ground. You could see the two tailed cloak state disperse around him as he got up. Naruto stretched seeing no rush in getting to the gate. So he decided to take his time.

Naruto slowly walked out of the training ground with a couple things in mind. One of the thoughts were of Yugao but the main thing he had on his mind at the moment was about the strong fighters that would be in the chunin exams.

"I can't wait to fight in the chunin exams I am going to have a blast with all the strong fighters that are going to be their" Naruto thought. His thought were interrupted when he walked right into someone neither of them falling over though. Naruto looked up at the person who he walked into. It was Hayate he wondered why he would be out here this early in the morning.

"Hey Hayate sorry for walking into you but why are you out here so early not many people are up at this time of day" Naruto asked him. Hayate looked at Naruto wondering why he was not at the gate yet because he knew they had to leave at eight. Naruto only had about ten minutes to reach the gate.

"It's ok Naruto I didn't see you their either so it's my fault too. Also the reason why I am out here so early is to see your Yugao and you guys off to the chunin exams" Hayate replied. Naruto was shocked how did Hayate find out that they were going to the chunin exams today.

"How did you know that we were participating in the chunin exams" Naruto asked. He didn't think anybody had the time to tell him because they did not even find out about the exams until yesterday.

"Yugao told me when we went out to eat yesterday. I hope all three of you make chunin and due Konoha proud in the exams" Hayate told Naruto as they walked alongside each other to the gate. Naruto felt a little upset that Hayate and Yugao were dating but he thought it was for the best because of his tenant.

"We will make sure we become chunin. They won't know what hits them especially from what I got up my sleeve for them" Naruto said. Hayate looked at Naruto wondering how strong he really was to graduate the academy at such a young age and maybe become a chunin very soon if he passes the chunin exams. His train of thought was cut off though as someone ran into him and wrapped their arms around him. Naruto saw Yugao collide with Yugao and wished that it was him that Yugao was hugging but he just sighed and walked to the gate were he saw Nieo and Ibiki waiting for him. He could still see Hayate and Yugao hugging. He heard Hayate wish Yugao good luck as they kissed on the lips.

"Thanks Hayate once I become chunin you won't be higher rank then me anymore" Yugao teased him as they kissed again. Yugao pulled away from Hayate missing Naruto who looked so heart broken. She did not know that Naruto had a crush on her but she would later on just not now.

"You better go looks like your team is waiting for you. You should not hold them up any longer" Hayate said to Yugao as he gave her one more hug. They pulled away once Ibiki embarrassed them in front of the rest of team seven and the gate guards. The gate guards were laughing their asses off when Ibiki had scared Yugao and Hayate.

Yugao walked over to Naruto and Nieo as Hayate waved goodbye to them. Team ten walked out the gate headed for Kumo.

"You seem really happy Yugao. I'm glad for you and Hayate" Naruto told her not realizing that he just made Yugao remember something that Hayate had told her. They jumped into Konoha's forest at a fast pace because they had a limited time to get to Kumo before they were later for the chunin exams.

"I am Naruto and it's all thanks to you. I want to talk with you though once we get to Kumo though it is really important to me" Yugao told Naruto.

"Sure Yugao we can talk once we get to Kumo" Naruto said as he face away from Yugao. Yugao though continuing to look at him wondering why Naruto went to such lengths to help her get with Hayate.

Four days later they were getting closer to Kumo they could see the transport that took them up the mountain to Kumo dead ahead.

"Finally that took forever to get here I thought it would have been sooner then four days" Naruto said sighing in relief at finally being this close to Kumo

The rest of team ten agreed with him on that because they were all exhausted at running for three days. They did rest but not long enough to completely take away the fatigue for running so long. The walked up to the to the two shinobi that were guarding the path up the mountain. Once they reached the guards guarding the path they had to stop.

"State the reason of why you are here" One of the two guards asked them. Ibiki stepped forward handing the two guards the form for the chunin exam so they could get entrance into Kumo.

"My name is Ibiki Morino and I am here with team ten for them to take the chunin exams this year" Ibiki explained to them why his team were their for. The two guards checked over the form just incase it was a false document but they found nothing wrong with the form so aloud them entrance to the path to Kumo. The walked up the path heading to Kumo noticing all the different types of ninja that were heading up the path as well. They noticed Iwa ninja, Sand ninja and some other villages that wanted to test themselves to become chunin.

"The exams are going to be really fun" Naruto thought as he ran ahead of the rest of his team to get their faster. The rest of the team sighed seeing how he got over excited. Ibiki looked on watching as Naruto ran ahead of them he couldn't blame the kid for being excited. He was only six years old and already on the path of becoming chunin.

"Come on guys hurry it up" Naruto shouted at them as he ran further ahead.
