How is everyone doing today, I want to thank all of you who have read or reviewed it means a lot to me to have so many people be interested with my work. I know that I am not the best writer in the world but hey a guy can try right. Well anyway I doubt you want to hear me ramble on and on about personal things so on with the disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I own nothing all that I do own is an 86 z28 Camaro and ya that's about it.
Kakashi look out across the clearing that currently held Naruto and the Hokage standing across from each other. Today was the day that they would find out if all of Naruto's hard work had paid off.
It had been a long seven years of training for Naruto and Kakashi could remember every little detail that went into the training period. He just hoped that Naruto was focused and didn't become too brash and over extends himself in this fight.
"Now young Naruto are you ready to show me how much you have improved," stated the old Hokage who ripped off his Hokage robs and hat to show that he was wearing his signature ninja armor.
"You bet old man I am going to wipe the floor or eh grass with you," yelled Naruto as he got in his signature taijutsu stance, which consisted of his legs shoulder with apart and hi bouncing lightly on his toes with his arms hanging by his side and his signature brass knuckles crackling with lighting.
Flashback
"Hey Kakashi is there any way for me to infuse my brass knuckles with lighting so that when I hit someone it will give them a nasty little surprise," asked a twelve year old Naruto as he just finished his calisthenics and was currently watching his clones work on the water walking exercise while others were working on Fuuton: Daitoppa (Wind style: Great Breakthrough).
"Well Naruto there is a way but it will take some time and some serious practice to be able to do it well enough to use in battle," said Kakashi as he motioned for Naruto to pull out his brass knuckles. "Now what you are going to do is mold your lighting chakra and then you are going to have to try and fill the brass knuckles with the chakra. This is where most people get confused, see they think you just have to cover the weapon with the chakra, but if you do that it will not be as powerful than if you actually filled the weapon with the chakra giving you much more power behind your weapon," stated Kakashi as he watch Naruto try over and over again to try and get his brass knuckles to crackle with deadly lighting.

As the old Hokage stared across the clearing at the young boy he was nothing short of amazed at the progress that was made by the young boy. He noticed that every muscle in Naruto's body was poised and ready to spring into action at any moment but Naruto look completely calm even though he was about to fight the Hokage.
The old Hokage was also able to detect another chakra signature in the woods overlooking where the fight will take place.
"I see that Yugao has taken an interest in our favorite ninja," thought the old man as he just smiled to himself and waited for the young boy to make a move.
"Okay Yugao-chan is here and I can't let her down" thought Naruto as his mind drifted back to when he first met the women.
Flashback
"Naruto I want you to meet someone this is Yugao she will be the one to train you with that katana of yours," said Kakashi as he stepped to the side to reveal a beautiful woman with long flowing purple hair and an athletic build with nice C cup breasts and the smile of a goddess.
"Hello Naruto like he said my name is Yugao and it is very nice to meet you," said Yugao as she stepped forward and shook Naruto's hand.
Naruto was completely mesmerized by the angel that was standing in front of him. He could not believe that someone so beautiful could have such and amazing smile and soft angelic voice and yet be so nice even though all she said was seventeen words.
"Um Hello it's nice to meet you beautiful….um er I mean Angel er I mean Yugao," Naruto stuttered as he nervously scratched the back of his head and smiled a bright smile.
All Yugao did was just smile back at him and thanked him for the complement before she got to work showing him how to properly hold a katana for maximum power behind his swings.
"Well he is kind of cute" thought Yugao as she watched him practice holding the sword the proper way before she instructed him to give her five hundred thrusts, swings, left and right, and up and down.
Naruto got to work with his sword wanting to impress the woman before him as his fourteen year old mind had hit the point in life that he actually noticed women. He couldn't help but feel something for her even though he just met her. It was like he just somehow knew that she would be special to him.
He knew that it was beyond a long shot for Yugao to have any type of romantic feelings for him especially since they just met but he would be damned if he didn't at least try to capture the young angel's heart. Because she couldn't be more than eighteen years old at most, He would have to talk to Kakashi about it but for now he would just focus on his training so he could pass and become a genin.
End Flashback
"Let's see how much you have grown Naruto" thought Yugao as she sat in the tree watching Naruto intently to see what he would do when battling a legendary ninja such as the Hokage. She had to admit that she was somewhat drawn to the young boy there were a lot of things that she found attractive about the young man that was standing in the middle of the field.
She had watched him over the past six months of training him and she found out very quickly that he is a very determined person, she also found out that after all the village did to him as a boy he still had the largest heart out of any man she had ever met. That was one of the biggest things that had originally drawn her to him.
She has talked to Kakashi multiple times to figure out the back story on Naruto and all he ever told her is to ask him and find out for herself and that he has asked about her to which made her slightly blush. She was brought out of her thoughts as she noticed Naruto charge at the Hokage.
Naruto had enough of just staring at the Hokage so he decided to get the show on the road, Naruto charged at the Hokage with speeds that somewhat surprised the old man even though he could tell that Naruto still had his resistance seal on.
Naruto let the lighting chakra engulf and empower his brass knuckles as he reached the Hokage he let loose with a few jabs and straights to test the old man's guard, before he dropped into a crouch and let loose with a leg sweep that the old man just jumped over only to be surprised what Naruto used his hands to vault off the ground and attempt to plant a kick into the old man's chest.
But Sarutobi would not be bested that easily as he quickly formed a shadow clone to move him out of the way as Naruto flew past the old Hokage Sarutobi decided to put the boy on the defensive as he charged Naruto and engaged him in a fierce taijutsu battle letting loose a ferocious combo of punches and kicks.
Naruto was quickly backpedaling from the vicious onslaught that Sarutobi sent his way he was hit by a few punches that got threw a few of the holes of his taijutsu style. He quickly found out the even though the old man may be well old he still more than made up for his age by experience.
"Oh screw trying to beat the old man with taijutsu" thought Naruto as he quickly did a backflip into the air and performed the hand signs for the Fuuton: Daitoppa ( Wind style: Great Breakthrough) which Sarutobi countered with a quick earth wall that blocked his sight of Naruto which led to him being surprised by the Fuuton: Joushou Ryuu ( Wind style: Rising Dragon) that Naruto sent his way. The large wind dragon came charging toward the old Hokage who quickly went underground to avoid it. He avoided it just in time as it had crashed right where he was previously standing with a loud boom and sent a shockwave through the clearing.
Sarutobi made his way to where he was below Naruto before he broke the surface with a uppercut trying to catch the blond boy by surprise, who only jumped away and did a few quick back flips to create some distance only to be assaulted by Sarutobi once again in a fierce taijutsu battle.
"I have to figure out something quick to get around his defenses or else I am going to be a goner," thought Naruto who quickly made three Kage Bushin to engage the Hokage and distract him.
As the fight was progressing Kakashi watched the battle with interest fully knowing that there was no way for Naruto to win the battle but all Naruto had to do was show the old Hokage that he was worthy of being a Genin and being place on a team. He knew that Naruto had to come up with something quick or else he would be overwhelmed by the more experienced shinobi. "Come on Naruto you have to come up with something to at least hit the man" though Kakashi.
At the same time our favorite purple haired kenjutsu user was watching the battle with interest, surprised that Naruto was doing as well as he was even though Sarutobi was holding back a good bit. It still impressed her that Naruto knew those two wind jutsu, she was just waiting for him to bring out his sword and show her what all he learned from her.
Naruto quickly put away his brass knuckles and pulled out his Katana letting wind and fire chakra engulf the sword making a white flame appear around the sword that was hissing and sizzling with promise of pain to anyone who dared to get hit by it.
This action surprised all three of the people watching knowing full and well that using something like that was dangerous. Sarutobi knew that Naruto was getting very serious if he was going to pull out a combo that big. Kakashi was wide eyed not believing that Naruto came up with that on the spot because he knew that he didn't teach Naruto something like that. Whereas Yugao had her jaw hanging to the floor for two reasons, the first being that Naruto would try something like that and that he was even capable of doing something like that, and the second thing being that why had she never thought to try and use something like that.
She quickly composed herself and watched to see what Naruto would do with something that dangerous.
Naruto quickly charged at Sarutobi and began thrusting and performing many different swings from different angles trying to gain an advantage or opening in the old man's guard. That was until he had a stroke of inspiration and threw his sword into the air dispersing the flame around the sword. At that moment Sarutobi's eyes flickered to the sword soaring in the air which was all the time Naruto needed to slip his brass knuckles on and send a massive uppercut into the old man's stomach while lessening the strength of the lighting because he was not trying to seriously injure the man.
Sarutobi felt the impact of the hit immediately as it lifted him up off the ground a few inches and sent him tumbling back a few feet. What he also noticed was a slight tingling sensation making its way across his body.
He quickly composed himself and held up his hand stopping Naruto in his tracks as he smiled at the boy. "Well Naruto you have certainly surprise me with your training I did not expect you to land a hit so quickly on me but none the less I am very proud of how far you have come. I am happy to say that you have passed my test please report to the Hokage tower in one week from today to pick up your headband and get your team assignments.
Also Naruto a few things to point out; the first thing I want to point out is that your taijutsu style has quite a few openings for enemy to take advantage of, while most non experienced ninja would never see them the ones who have been around for a while would. The second thing I want to point out is that while you are fast you need to be a little bit faster because if you are able to move so quickly that you opponent can do nothing but block then they will never win. The last thing that I want to point out is that you need to be faster with you jutsu applications if you had been able to form that Fuuton: Joushou Ryuu faster than you would have succeeded in catching me in it but while you did surprise me with it, it still was not fast enough that it would catch me.
Overall I am very proud of the progress you have made keep up the good work," said Sarutobi as he smile at his surrogate grandson with pride.
Naruto could not believe that he passed he was so happy and excited that he passed he started jumping up and down in joy.
"YA I PASSED HAHAHAHA I PASSED" yelled Naruto as he ran over to Kakashi to see what he thought of the fight but all he got was an eye smile and Kakashi saying that he had a surprise for him waiting at the house.
Yugao took this moment to come over and congratulate Naruto on a job well done which Kakashi used to leave and go and do well whatever it was that he did in his free time.
"Hey Yugao what did you think did I do well" said Naruto as he looked at the woman who had occupied his thoughts for the past few months.
"I thought you did very well Naruto I was quite surprised with that trick you pulled with your katana I think that you will make quite a good swordsman with some more training," said Yugao as she smiled at Naruto and gave him a hug in congratulations which made Naruto blush ear from ear.
"Hey….. uh Yugao I was uh….. wondering if you would…..I don't know…. maybe would want to gooutonadatewithme." said Naruto as his blush only intensified.
Yugao didn't quite know what to say sure she had a few mild feelings for the boy but for him to come out and ask her out on a date surprised her quite a bit.
"Well I don't know if that would be appropriate" said Yugao as she started walking away, she could see his mood dissipate at her rejection but what he didn't see is her small grin. "But why don't you come and pick me up at my house at eight," she said before she quickly shunshined out of there but not before she heard him whoop in joy as he raced back to his house to get ready seeing as he only had about four hours to get dressed, showered and find a pace to eat.
Yugao made it to her house and smiled as she stripped of her uniform and made her way to the shower to get ready for her date with Naruto. She couldn't lie and say that she didn't have any feelings for the young man because she did even though he was four years her junior. She decided that she would give him a chance and so she said yes to his proposal for a date.
She was not blind to the glances that he would send her way as she trained him and she also took some glances of her own. She couldn't help but admire the hard toned body that he got form training so hard she usually took notice of this on hot days when he would take of his shirt while he as training. She also took notice of multiple scars that littered his chest and back as well as his stomach. She never asked him about the scars on his body because she didn't want to bring up any painful memories for him.
She put the thoughts out of her mind as she let the water cascade down her body and wash away all of the stress that she had let build up throughout her day in ANBU. It also helped ease her mind of the thoughts that she was thinking about the blonde haired boy.
On the other side of the village Naruto raced inside of his house and flew passed Kakashi only giving him a "I have a date" which Kakashi just smiled and chuckled at knowing how much he had grown to like Yugao throughout the past six months that she trained him. He was honestly happy that she was giving him a chance and he also knew that she started to develop her own feelings for the boy though she would never admit it to anyone.
Naruto threw his clothes off and made his way into the shower as he scrubbed his body clean thinking about what all he could do for this date to be special for the women of his dreams. He knew that he could not take her out to eat because no restaurant wants the demon boy in their establishment. As he made his way out of the shower he had a stroke of inspiration overwhelmed him and he quickly made a Kage Bushin the clone already knowing what his master wanted done raced out of the house to get it done.
Naruto made his way over to the closet and pulled out a pair of jeans and a white shirt before a pulled on a black button up shirt and a pair of nice shoes. He had no idea why he got these clothes when he did but now he is glad that he did.
He left his house after conversing with Kakashi for a little while and went to the Yamanaka flower shop to pick up some roses before he made his way for Yugao's house. It didn't take him long to find it considering he was following Kakashi's directions. Who claimed to have been to her house once or twice.
He made his way up the couple of flights of stairs to get to her apartment and before he knew it he was standing in front of her door with his hand raised. He took a deep breath before he let his hand fall and knock on the door a few times before he let it hang by his side waiting for her to answer.
He didn't have to wait long before he was greeted by the sight of Yugao in a strapless black dress with a pair of black high heels on and her hair was not done in a fancy fashion it just had a few waves in it that help frame her face and she didn't have a ton of makeup on just enough to compliment her face and that was it.
"You look beautiful Yugao-chan here I got these flowers for you," said Naruto as he held out the flowers for her which she took with a thank you and a smile and retreated into her house to put the flowers in some water.
She was not gone long and before Naruto knew it she was back and had her door locked. "So Naruto where are we off to," she asked as she loop her arm through his as they made their way down the stairs.
"Well Yugao-chan that is a surprise" he said as he made his way towards the Hokage monument. As they walked they shared small talk, they talked about everything from her life as a ninja to her personal life and she asked him many questions regarding his own life.
When they finally made it to the top of the Hokage monument Yugao's eyes fell upon a small blanket with two candles and a wide variety of food displayed across it. She could not believe that Naruto went through all of this trouble just for a date with her but she was glad that he did.
They both sat down and began to eat as the continued to enjoy each other's company. They continued to have small talk just getting to know each other more intimately because training didn't leave any room for them to actually get to know each other on an emotional level.
"Hey Naruto I have a question for you" asked Yugao as she finished eating her food and let her eyes travel across the village that was currently being bathed in the sunset.
"Yes Yugao" Naruto responded.
"Well I was wondering a few things actually; first not that I am complaining but why did we not go to a restaurant I just find it curious that you set all of this up instead of going to a restaurant, and the second thing is I couldn't help but notice that you have quite a few scars along your back, chest, and stomach I was wondering how you got those," asked Yugao not able to hold in her curiosity any longer.
Naruto got visibly saddened as she asked those questions but he would answer them anyway. "Well as to why we are not in a restaurant right know is because of two things; first I really like being up here when the sunset hits the village it is a breathtaking sight that fits a breathtaking women, and the second thing is no other restaurant wants to have the demon child in their place of business. As for the scars well I got those when I was eight and a group of villagers and shinobi chased me into an alleyway and brutally beat and tortured me, they did many things hell one of them even set my body on fire," Naruto said as he stood up and looked out over across the village that had caused him so much pain. And yet all he could feel for the village is a need to protect it and show everyone that he is not the demon that they think he is.
Yugao could not believe the words that she was hearing I mean sure she knew that he was the Kyuubi container but she didn't think the village would treat a small boy like that. She made her way up and stood behind Naruto and hugged him from behind trying to offer him some comfort but what she heard next surprised her greatly.
"And if you don't want to be my friend anymore or train me because of how I am seen in the village or that I am the Kyuubi container then I will understand and I will no longer talk to you," said Naruto sounding visibly broken and ashamed that he in his mind caused Yugao a lot of grief for just being seen with him.
Before Naruto knew what was happening Yugao quickly spun him around and slapped him as hard as she possible could. She had a few tears in her eyes that were threatening to spill over and down her lovely cheeks.
'Naruto how dare you ever say something like that, I could never hate you for something that is out of your control I am hurt that you would even think that and besides you are right about one thing, I don't want to be your friend Naruto Uzumaki," she said as she quickly pulled him in and kissed him on the lips, pouring as much passion as she possibly could into the kiss.
Naruto had no clue as to what was going on first he was being slapped and now he was being kissed by the woman of his dreams. He loved the feeling of her lips pressed against his her lips were so soft and they molded perfectly to his as he gently kissed her back with as much passion trying to convey everything that he has felt for her over the past six months.
He gently pulled her body in closer while she raised her hands and wrapped them around his neck as she deepened the kiss slightly. After a few second she broke away and rested her forehead on his and kissed his nose.
"I want to be your girlfriend Naruto," she said as she held him close somewhat afraid that he would reject her but she did not have to wait long as she was lifted into the air and spun around as Naruto smiled a bright smile and she let a beautiful laugh escaped her lips as he held her close.
They sat on the blanket in silence with her resting against his body as they watched the sunset vanish behind the forest.
Naruto was caught in bliss at the night that he was having he did not think for this to happen but today was a great day for him. He passed his test and became a genin and the best part of the day is that the woman of his dreams and the woman the occupied his mind kissed him and declared that she wanted to be his girlfriend and that she didn't care about what he contained or how the villagers saw him.
They stayed on the blanket for a little bit longer before they stood up and made their way back to her apartment but not without Naruto leaving a clone to clean up their little picnic.
It took them a little bit longer to get back to her apartment as they were both content with just holding each other's hands and slowly walking through the village. When they finally did make it back to her apartment door Yugao gave him a goodnight kiss and a promise that she would see him soon before she slipped into her apartment and closed the door.
Naruto ran to his house he soared across the village rooftops on cloud nine for the entire way back to his house a large grin plastered on his face.
When he got back to his house he found that Kakashi was still up and giving him an eye smile knowing full and well that the date went good if the way he came in was any indication.
"Naruto follow me into the back yard I want to give you your graduation to genin present," said Kakashi as he made his way outside.
"What is it Kaka what did you get me," asked Naruto not believing that this night could get any better.
"I am going to teach you how to do my signature move the Chidori and later I will teach you how to do the Raikiri' said Kakashi as he made the necessary hand signs and let the lightning chakra engulf his hand giving it the signature glow and chirp. When he had gathered the necessary chakra he took off towards one of the tress and thrust his hand with the Chidori through it which caused a large hole to form and the tree to fall. After he finished his demonstration he explained how to do the jutsu to Naruto and told him the hand signs that he needed to know and made him promise to never use this jutsu on any ally.
Naruto quickly agreed and they both walked inside with Naruto dead set to get to work on learning the jutsu tomorrow. He bid Kakashi goodnight and made his way upstairs when he got to his room he glanced at the picture of parents and thought "I hope I am making you all proud of me," as his head hit the pillow he was out like a light.
And done I hope you all like this chapter because I am fairly happy with it. I was not sure how I wanted to cover all of the time so I figured that using the flashback jutsu would be the best way to do it because I figured you guys would get tired of me doing a day to day type of story with Naruto. If you all have anyway that I can improve on my writing and character development especially between Naruto and Yugao the please let me know because I am kind of struggling to have their characters develop in a believable way, I have also made some changes to the first and second chapter that I was told that I should do so if you have already read through chapter one and two then if you feel like it go back and look at the changes that I made and hopefully you all will enjoy them. With that said thank you all for reading and I want to send a shout out to all of the people who reviewed and gave me their opinions on the story so thank you very much I appreciate it. See you all next time.
P.S as you all know constructive criticism is always more than welcome so if you have any thoughts on how I can improve than please let me know I will have no ill feelings towards you only gratitude That is all finally have a wonderful day or night.
