A.N: Ok I'd like to sort something out. Many people have been asking about Hikari. Now if you remember I said all the way back in the 1st chapter that the harem WOULD have an OC in it. It seems that I don't need to worry anymore because I thought Hikari would come out wrong and no one would like her. I'd like to apologise if I have left any unanswered questions, and I realise that the first chapters have been introducing the characters and that it hasn't been going the way the summary said it would. Please bear with me; I'll try to sort it out.

ANYWAY ON WITH THE STORY

 

 

Naruto awoke to the tapping of a messenger bird at the window of his hotel room. Opening the scroll it read:

 

Haku-san,

The council has decided that your skill level will be evaluated. It had been arranged for you to fight against 3 jounin of the leaf. You will be tested on Taijutsu, Ninjutsu and Genjutsu. You are to report to training ground 7 at precisely 1 o'clock. The council will have representatives present to watch over the testing. It is recommended that you bring all of your equipment.

Tsunade.

 

Looking at the clock Naruto saw that it was only 10.

“I wonder who my opponents will be.”

“I'm sure they would give you the people they considered the best in the categories.”

“Your probably right…might as well get ready and get a bit of training done while I'm waiting.”

 

 

(1 o'clock - training ground 7)

 

The council representatives that consisted of Hiashi, Tsume, Inoichi and Yasha Hanaro (100% appropriate for Sakura's mother don't you think), Tsunade, Shizune, the entire rookie 11(minus Naruto) Kakashi, Kurenai, Gai, Hana and Anko were waiting in training grounds seven waiting for `The shadow fox' to show up.

“He should be here by now” Yasha said

“It has only just gone 1 o'clock Hanaro-san” Hiashi replied

“A shinobi should always be on time” was her come back

“That is true Hanaro-san but I have been here for quite some time” Naruto said while jumping down from the branch of a near by tree, which made everyone think along similar lines

“I never sensed him arrive…his stealth is excellent”

“Im ready for my assessment whenever you are Tsunade-sama”

“Very well we will begin with assessing you Taijutsu. In order to measure your Taijutsu you will spar against Gai-san, Konoha's resident Taijutsu expert”

“Hai” Naruto said while moving to the training field “I assume you are Gai-san” Naruto asked a guy with a bowl cut and big eyebrows, that were trying to take over the world ( Only joking, but don't you think that is what there trying)

“THAT IS CORRECT. I SEE YOUR FLAMES OF YOUTH BURN BRIGHTLY”

“Holy shit Kyuubi I think im deaf”

“What? I can't hear anything”

Tsunade stepped forward to act as the referee. Seeing that both combatants are ready, Gai in the Goken stance, with Naruto in a stance that no one present recognised

“If you don't mind me asking, what stance is that for I have never seen it” Gai asked

“It's a stance of my own creation; it's called the Kage Kobushi” Naruto replied

After this Tsunade shouted `begin' while taking several steps back.

Neither of the two moved for about 20 seconds. After this thou Gai used his speed to disappear from view, only to strike using the “Konoha Gorikki Senpu” which Naruto stepped back to avoid the strike. After the failed attack, Gai quickly disappeared again, only to find his next strike blocked by Naruto. After several more strikes failing to get past Naruto's defence, Gai reappeared several feet in front of Naruto

“Ah Haku-san. You are a talented Taijutsu user, however I will prove that my flames of youth are the brightest” Gai said while removing two weights, one from each leg.

“It appears that you're taking this match seriously, Gai-san. Then I won't hold back either”

This time it was Naruto who disappeared but this time it was to fast for nearly everyone to keep up. Only with the aid of the Sharingan and Byakagan did Hiashi and Kakashi manage to keep up with him.

Naruto used his speed to deliver a vicious round house kick to Gai sending him sprawling. Not giving his opponent any time to recover he charged and delivered right hook to Gai's face, once again knocking him down.

The spectators couldn't believe that Gai was being over powered, as he is considered the best Taijutsu user in Konoha, however here he was being knocked to the floor again and again.

Seeing that he couldn't keep up with his opponent Gai decided to take things up a notch and opened 6 of the inner gates in preparation to use his strongest technique.

Using his new found speed Gai launched Naruto into the air. After jumping up to where Naruto was Gai got ready to use his strongest attack.

Seeing that his opponent was using what seemed like his trump card Naruto decided that if he could weather the technique he'd probably be able to end the match quickly.

When Gai delivered the “Asa Kyaku” everyone thought that the ` shadow fox' would be defeated however even after being struck by the technique he soon raised from the crater he had been struck into.

Seeing that his trump card had failed Gai sealed the inner gates while turning to the Hokage

“Ok that's enough Haku-san. I believe we have seen enough of your Taijutsu abilities” Hiashi said seeing Naruto slip back into the Kage Kobushi stance.

Nodding Naruto stood relaxed while waiting for the next part of the assessment to begin.

“Right next your Genjutsu skills will be evaluated” Tsunade said and then Kurenai took Gai's place opposite Naruto

“Are you ready?” Naruto asked Kurenai looking her in the eyes, while his turned vibrant silver.

“Hai” Kurenai said but no sooner had she said it, the world began to distort until she was no longer with in the training grounds but she was in what appeared like a endless wasteland with but one thing in sight and that was the door that Naruto was stood in front of. Quickly realising she had already been caught in a Genjutsu she brought her hands to form the correct seal and Said `Kai' however to her surprise nothing changed, and after several attempts she decided to wait to see what this particular Genjutsu had in store for her.

Seeing that she had stopped trying to cancel the technique Naruto allowed the door to slowly open. After several seconds the door had fully opened but there was nothing but pure darkness beyond it. That was until several pairs of eyes appeared within the darkness. Slowly what could only be described as a hugely deformed arm reached out of the doorway and grabbed Kurenai. Slowly it began dragging her towards the door way and as she got closer she began hearing low growls and screams, coming from the passageway. However as she prepared for what ever was on the other side, it disappeared when Naruto cancelled the Genjutsu.

“That was a Jutsu I picked up on my travels called Oni meimu: Fukumaden. Although you didn't get to see the full version it is still my most powerful Genjutsu.” Naruto explained however before he could continue a tree sprouted from the ground and bound him

“Magen: Jubaku Satsu” Kurenai said however the tree quickly got dispersed.

“That was quite a powerful Genjutsu Kurenai-san. It would have worked if I hadn't launched the Chakra pulsar” Naruto said as his eyes returned to the sapphire blue.

“The what?”

“The chakra pulsar” Naruto said while pointing up. Every one present looked up to see a baseball sized orb floating above the training ground.

“May I ask what that does?” Kurenai asked

“Certainly. You see I have never been very good at overcoming Genjutsu. In fact I couldn't dispel even the most simplest of the ones used upon me. So I came up with the chakra pulsar. It works upon the principle of a third chakra entering the body to disrupt my opponents control on my chakra. Every couple of seconds it sends out a pulse of chakra that nullifies any Genjutsu within its range. I created it to over come my weakness.”

“Very good Haku-san. So far your performance has been rather impressive.” Tsume said.

“Yes quite impressive indeed” Hiashi agreed

“But do not get over confident boy, for you still have one test to go” Yasha said while she smirked, after all no body was better at Ninjutsu than Kakashi, except Orochimaru and the 3rd Hokage.

Putting his book away Kakashi replaced Kurenai in opposing Naruto. After being given the go ahead Kakashi started the little spar with the Katon: Hosenka no Jutsu, to which Naruto countered with Doton: Doryuheki to create a wall of mud to intercept the incoming fireballs. After the wall collapsed Naruto quickly jumped into the air to avoid the pair of hands that sprouted out of the ground in an attempt to use the Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu, after landing Naruto quickly went through a series of hand seals to use the Futon: Daitoppa at the now exposed Kakashi, only to strike a Kage Bunshin. Quickly looking around the area in order to find him Naruto saw nothing however was soon struck in the back by the Katon: Gokakayu no Jutsu which threw him into a near by tree.

“See I told you he wasn't good enough to beat Kakashi-san” Yasha said with a small smirk on her face which was quickly removed when the smoke revealed to show Naruto standing up. Looking over at Kakashi and then the spectators Naruto's eyes once again turned the vibrant silver.

After a couple of seconds everybody could feel Naruto's chakra spike, while he said `An'ya Kitsunesuki'.

As soon as the name had been announced what could only be described as bubbling darkness, took form over Naruto, It created a ball over 20 feet wide. Slowly the ball started to change shape, first 2 forearms sprouted from it, shortly followed by an upper torso. Next was a head. After the form had finished forming two eyes appeared both the same vibrant silver as Naruto's. Stood above Naruto was the form of a 20 foot midnight fox.

“This is why I am called the shadow fox”
