22 Hinata 2.0 Gaara pup, and Orochimaru plan.

****Sasuke POV****

I was training my Plasma release like Hinata ended up naming it. Frankly i don't know what is plasma supposed to be, i though calling it blaze release would have been better. But she assured me what i had used was more on the side of plasma fusion, apparently that was a high density flame who could cut through even the thickest of metal. Well not like a name is going to make a technique better or weaker i shall indulge Hinata in her wild disillusion anyway. It is also better then contradicting her and being beaten until you agree to her.

Author note: What Sasuke might think, has nothing to do with my opinion on the subject. If you want to research what kind of plasma i am talking about Google thermal plasma.

Me and Naruto had learned that the hard way. If we were to be too stubborn about something like when Naruto told Hinata that he could live of ramens just by changing the sort every so often. He ended up beaten up and could only eat ramen once a week for two whole month before she let him go. Now he only eat it 3 time a week and has to prepare his own meal. Hinata taught him how to prepare easy to make and healthy meal.

I was good on that subject but she told me to take rest day at less once a week so my muscle could rest and heal. I didn't listen and she go me hanged down a tree tied up while she was teaching my little sister to throw shuriken… … you might think this was nothing but i'd make you know, i was my sister practice target. I had to dangle around for 2 hours strait before she let me go, never been more scared to die to this day. The worst is my sister didn't have an ounce of guilt trying to spike me full of shuriken...

I was having Kakashi sensei teach me how to transform my chakra using Hinata rasengan technique. I then learned the first to develop the technique was the fourth Hokage. I make me wonder how she manage to come up with it on her own. Anyway since i had seen how destructive this method of transformation could be i thought i could maybe apply it to my plasma release. After all the scorch release of Hinata had devastated almost half a kilometer of ground in circle in the forest of death on that day.

I knew my release was more on the one hit kill kind of performance since it was more about perforation. If Hinata could perform her jutsu she could probably wipe out a little army of shinobi like nothing me on the other hand i wanted the power to kill a single man. This technique would be perfect for me.

****End of Sasuke POV****

I was facing Maki receiving her new patterns of attack. Training with me was probably the best way to test new techniques as she didn't have much to fear about getting injured or injuring me. I was certainly stronger, but even i was not immune to her constant use of genjutsu. Having to constantly release them took a toll on me and i was thinking about getting a technique to counter them more easily not that my ring could not work on it but the cooldown time was too much once it was used up.

This was maybe one of my weakness. Genjutsu could easily affect me and i had never really taken to it except for some of my technique, like the dream of a snowfall hell that require me to project the illusion of many more snowdrop. Over all that was a weakness that had only so much effect on me and i had countermeasure again it but it still didn't feel right.

Once again Maki took some shuriken and threw it a me with a cloning jutsu and a genjutsu that would create fake ones. I dodge all of them not caring about releasing it, those would only make me waste time and chakra. I finished the fight using my foot to create a ball of hot water to projet to Maki. She dodged but i had already taken her back kunai on her neck.

-Make that 4 to nothing Maki.

-You know, you could let me have a little more fun.

-Sorry love can't do or you would start having a big head. I gave her a peck on the cheek. I need to check on the rest too anyway.

-Fair enough, i will take a break then.

-Sure.

I looked Over Sana and Sakura the two were no engaged in a pretty close fight. Sana had the upper hand since she used the mark and her sharingan but Sakura could keep up with her greater physical performance. Taijutsu was really Sakura fort, one day she will really need to learn some from Tsunade, my taijutsu was basically a mix of strong and soft first and was hardly adequate for Sakura to pick up. Let not forget i was more on the fast and agile and she was more on the strong and destructive side.

-Ok the two of you can stop here for now take a few minutes of break.

-So do you want to talk about something?

-Yes, first i will say it Sana, your footwork suck. And i mean by that you need to learn to move without taking wide stride and leaving yourself so open to counter. We have had a fair share of spare in the past but i never singled it out for you. It might have been a mistake, but now i will correct it. First when you dodge don't try to move away you need to stay close like that you can react to any opening. Sakura actually would have had a way harder time with you if you didn't back away all the time.

-Wait, how do you know that you were fighting Maki.

-The byakugan remember, my eyes can see thing at a 360 angle all around me. Anyway that what you should work on Sana. Now, Sakura explain to me what was all that why didn't you us your legs at all?

-Uh? I used them to move away… … what do you mean?

-I mean kicking and the like, you only unused punch all along with some elbow strike. You are a taijutsu practitioner, that mean your whole body should be considered a weapon not only you upper body.

Sakura eyes popped at that mention. She probably had never thought about it that way.

-This is a good thing that we caught on to it now, as later it could have costed you lives. Next we are going to work on those weak point of your and improve into it, you see the system guide you into becoming stronger. But, will not do the brain work for you so you need to know how to use each skill in whatever situation you will be in. Heck, even if you didn't have the system you would need to have some form of know how to work around your ability.

Maki was sitting not too far away while drinking some strawberry milk. Well this month is going to be long, i just hope Sasuke and Naruto end up improving in their own way.

****Jiraya POV****

That little girl finally let me get my godson to train him. I taught him the toad summoning jutsu having him sign the contract and all. The boy was not bad he could summon most intermediary grade toad. That actually surprised me, but this was not what he needed, he needed to have the capacity to use the nine tail fox chakra or Kurama chakra like he called his furry friend. In the end i tried to push him further but after a few hour he got exhausted and fainted on me.

That when i decided to use the do or die way to make him truly release the Kyuubi chakra. That might have been a big mistake on my part. The boy, after i pushed him into a ravine, ended up summoning Gamabunta in person. I decided to be on my way, the boy tracked me down and challenged me, i ended up being beaten, the brat was too fast i don't know what he was eating but even Minato was not that fast when he didn't use the flying thunder god jutsu.

In the end i woke up in the emergency ward on the next day, i decide to spy a bit on the boy to see what he was still up too and i was amazed, in this month he managed to control the Kyuubi chakra up to two tail. That was not an easy feat. I seriously need to get up to part so i can still teach him something later in the future, maybe i should finish my formation to use sage mode?

****End of Jiraya POV****

The month passed slowly, well except for the night they ended too fast and i really would have liked to cuddle more with Maki. Hanabi and Hikari had discovered about my relationship with her. And while Hana chan looked like she was ready to murder Maki(she had thrown a lot of kunai and shuriken at her), that actually make me worry a bit about her maybe i doted too much on her? Hikari just say she approved. I wonder why i need her approval seriously i am more than twice the age of that chibi…

My mother took it rather peacefully but the various clan elder had to be threatened over a good dose of killing intent for them to stop. In the end my father suggested placing Neji as his successor since he was technically his brother son. I approved the decision on the condition his cursed mark would be removed. The elder though didn't like it but the decision was not their to make, it was the clan head that should take it. And i was certainly not ashamed of my sexual orientation, even if the old man was my grandfather id still beat him to one inch of his life if he bullshit Maki.

Well in the future if Neji end up as clan head i am really going to laugh it off. I am still planning to use genetic engineering to create a child with mine and Maki DNA. I should not be that hard even someone like Orochimaru, even if he was a genius, who lived in this world devoid of science and real medical knowledge did create Mitsuki. If someone knew a bit the work how, it was greatly possible to do it, i had studied that a lot and managed already to breed some female cats together.

Ok, i am not a mad scientist experimenting on cat. I simply used their DNA and fused it together using some advance medical ninjutsu that i tweaked a bit. Using regeneration rebirth when mixing two samples of living cell together, while maintaining the control over the form was certainly not simple, still it was possible. Some might say i had a god complex, but i would simply say ninjutsu is a way to already go again the law of order, who care about my experiments?

In the end the tournament finally came to be. Everyone of the eleven participant were now standing in the middle of the stadium to present themselves before the public. There was a form of peace from all of that, maybe it would be better called awe? After the participants had been presented other then Naruto and Neji, we were to leave for an observation platform.

I was a little excited, i had not seen Naruto for a long time now. How much had he progressed over that last month? Usually i wouldn't find fighting something great, but maybe because i was a ninja me someone that had réincarnated was participating in the first great event of the Narutoverse. Not that it is something to celebrate, Orochimaru possible attack on Konoha was a terrible thing.

I had a discussion with the third about the security that would be needed for this event in the last few days. I had given the last 4 days off to Sakura, Sana and Maki so they can restore their stamina before the even and also prepare to fight on their own. After all, i was also one of their competitor i would be bad if they could not find way to try to counter me. The third also asked me about something that left me a little perplexed.

Apparently the Kazekage has requested, in the name of the alliance between our two country if his tracking squad could buy some of the ninken from the Inuzuka clan. I am pretty sure they don't need them at all they have other way to track prey in the desert, but it could be proof of faith from us. In the end i suggested to allow it with a yearly restriction on the count they could buy. I had no knowledge i just helped Gaara buy a pup to care about…

****Third person POV****

While all that was happening a group of people was moving through the labyrinth of corridor that had been dug by the root. Orochimaru was following a man with his right side bandaged all over, yes it was Danzo the sannin had been unable to move since the time Sana had removed the adverse effect of the cursed mark suffering the backlash of the removal of his seal. He was not aware of that thought, and since he had missed the best chance for him to kill the Kazekage and take his place he was now considering this plan b. One year ago his second in command, Kabuto, had delivered Danzo from his prison.

As you would think the man was well guarded and Kabuto had use one of the root member still alive to impersonate him. Using plastic surgery, he made someone who had a similar build and height as Danzo to take his place. The man had many secret way into Konoha and his knowledge was well used by the snake sannin, more over the man complete hatred of a certain anbu had rendered is sanity questionable he was now out for the kill. Orochimaru could use that to his advantage.

They finally managed to arrive at the tournament arena, some of the inside men o Danzo had capture members of the anbu who would participate to today security check. At the right time they could then capture Sarutobi Hiruzen by surprise and kill him before ending the leaf. Or so was the plan, Orochimaru had even taken the trouble to did his old sensei two teacher up to use again him. How hilarious would it be when they kill him for all Konoha to see?

-Master Orochimaru here, those are Neko and Kitsune masks and cloaks. If you use them you should be able to come and go at will until the time is right.

The four eyed ninja was giving the two intruder the disguise they will need to make their plan come true. Danzo was overjoyed, since he now knew who was behind the mask of Black Fox. After Orochimaru scare in the forest of death he had made him investigate Hinata background and to his surprise she was the famous Black Fox, although normally only Kakashi and Hiruzen knew but their was another person that knew by deduction. It was Reika, Kabuto had manage to subdue the kunoichi and extort every secret and knowledge she knew making her doubt about Hinata most relevant. Well actually Maki also know about Hinata anbu career, but that is only about her being part of it not who she is.

Later the spy would regret having lay his hand on one of Hinata family member, but for now he was serving his master with his utmost capacity. Danzo had some of his men spread into the audience so they can cause havoc when needed, and also form the genjutsu Orochimaru had planned to use on the public. The sannin had placed most of his men at the border ready to attack at notice and his four most loyal subordinate were with him among Danzo civilians clothed root members.

****End of third person POV****

The fight between Neji and Naruto was fast, well Neji manage to close some of Naruto chakra point but this one used the Kyuubi chakra to restore them, plus he was attacking with a lot of speed. Every of Naruto attack would have been in a blind spot if not for the byakugan, ultimately though again the divine turn it was useless. Neji problem was, divine turn didn't have offensive capacity on it's own. Naruto took full advantage of it by making Neji overuse his limited chakra, and once my cousin showed sign of fatigue he waited till one of his divine turn was ending to activate his swift release making himself practically teleporting to Neji.

Neji didn't see it coming after all someone had yet to use this weakness of the divine turn again a user of it. I had knew of it since before, the time when you end the divine turn was the best time to counter the user, some might argue that with the byakugan the user can still prepare. That is under the precondition he has the time to change position, if it was me, maybe i could counter that point again an opponent of equal caliber or inferior, but if the opponent was stronger even i would have a hard time.

Naruto had exploited brilliantly this weakness and executed it just at the perfect timing Neji didn't have any chance to do anything. Once hit Naruto send some explosives tags of his making, those had more concentrated fire power in certain directions and could be used to know out most opponent.

Naruto could probably make it to chunin with the head he now had. It just that the right person need to support his promotion. If my memories serve me right two chunins and one jounin or and anbu need to give and approval for it to pass.
