As Kibo could feel the curse mark of Misfortune returning to his eye he looked at the monsters he had slain on his menu.

After the adrenaline started to fade, Kibo suddenly read this he felt a change in his eyes, as the 6th ring had formed like before it coalesced into a single band.

Now it looked like two golden rings glowing in his eye.

"Congratulation to Host for unlocking your 6th ring."

[6th Rings Ability: Karmic Sense: The Host is able to see the Karma of those that you gaze at with the Tengan.]

Kibo jumped up and down in joy, as he put away the A-ranked Monster in his storage space.

Not only did he get enough points to buy the manual and a relic, but he also got his hands on great amounts of blacksmithing materials.

Especially the A-rank beast. Its bones were so tough, Kibo drooled thinking of the armor he could create. He could quince his blades in high ranking blood, or even just the simple act of adding the bone ash to a weapons forging process would greatly improve the product's outcome.

He didn't want to wait any longer to claim his prize. When he purchased the Double Point Relic and the Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryū Manual, a massive surge of data entered his brain. It felt like he had a lightning bolt running up his spine.

Kibo grabbed his head in pain as he fell over on the ground, twitching like a shocked insect. Kibo let out a foul breath of air when he suddenly shouted "It's like getting hit in the brain with a brick!"

He shook off the headache as he quickly stood up, and moved into the most basic Batto-Jutsu stance.

Kibo placed his front foot out and positioned his body sideways, with the weight of his body leaning forwards facing in one direction, Kibo slowly spread his legs slightly apart.

While he crouched, Kibo's feet dug into the ground as if he was getting ready to jump out in a straight line.

If a foe were in front of him they would only see half of his body in view. His target, an unassuming tree.

Pulling out Fujin, he held the sheathed weapon with his left hand that was facing away from the direction his body was leaning towards. Then, placing his thumb in a bent position under the sword's guard, Kibo reached out to the hilt with his right hand.

With a lightning-fast dash forward Kibo leapt forward and twisted his upper torso. While his body unwound like a rubber band, the sword came out of its sheath wreathed in Star Chakra.

The sound of a supersonic slash echoed throughout the atmosphere seconds before the tree he targeted was cleaved off at the base, alongside any other plant life in a 25-Yard crescent line behind it as well.

Kibo smiled as he laughed loudly before saying, "Wow! This is incredible! The combination of the Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryū and Chakra is astonishing!"

Kibo then activated his Tengan wanted to find a lake to stare at his reflection. He wanted to see if he could look at his own Karmic Value, but after activating his Do-Jutsu he found that it wasn't necessary.

A bright white and gold energy radiated from his body and soared into the sky. A gentle yet fierce feeling was contained in these wisps of Karmic energy.

Kibo studied and pondered, "Is this positive Karma?"

Kibo proceeded to jump on top of the biggest tree he could find in the area and gazed over the terrain to see similar beams of light soaring into the air.

Most were grey-colored, representing them as natural, but a few locations here and there were cloaked in a dark and sinister purple and black color.

Kibo assumed they were Animal-type Odokuros like the one he had fought earlier.

When he was thinking of heading over and killing them, Navi chimed in and said, "You halve 3 minutes until your graduation ceremony."

Kibo sighed as he pulled out his Teleportation Relic and crushed it.

A beam of light surged moments before it took his body away.

Kibo reappeared in the classroom to see it was still empty. He sighed again, disappointed that he couldn't take a couple more points before he closed his eyes to get some rest.

Even though it was only three minutes, Kibo's Gate of Healing showed its prowess, as he felt as if he had full eight hours of rest.

By the time he heard the classroom door opening, Kibo had already awakened.

The first to enter was Shikamaru; he took one look at Kibo and held his hand over his mouth. "Pttb!"

Shikamaru's face was red and he was trying not to laugh as he asked, "What happened to you?"

No longer being able to hold it in Shikamaru's laughter filled the room while he pointing a finger at Kibo's condition.

Kibo's hair looked like someone had thrown him into a dryer. His clothes were torn and ripped in several locations. To be honest, it looked like he got mugged. "Would you believe that I was out fighting Chakra Beast all night?"

Shikamaru took one look at him and said, "If you said you were doing anything other than that, then I'd know you'd be lying. Those cuts and tears weren't made by human hands. Not unless those fan-girls suddenly grew fangs and claws."

Kibo laughed and when he looked at Shikamaru and asked, "Why are you here? I thought you'd be sleeping on a tree branch somewhere."

Shikamaru sat at his seat and placed his head on his arms and said, "Everyone's lining up to get their Shinobi license, I figured, I could catch a few Z's here while I wait for the line to die down."

Kibo stood up and headed to the bathroom after thanking Shikamaru.

He swapped out his clothing with a spare and washed his head in the sink. After cleaning up he looked much better and not so much like a bum who was accosted by a lion.

Walking up to the Hokage's office he saw that Shikamaru wasn't joking about the line. It stretched out all the way to the school's front doors to the entrance of the street.

"Kibo!" Naruto's voice called out. He was with the usual group and he seemed to be a little worried.

"Mom says she's gonna kill you! Where the hell were you all night?"

Kibo followed up with, "I was out training all night, I lost track of time because I had a breakthrough!"

Naruto was shocked when he turned to see Karin jumping on him. "It's true! His Chakra levels are no less than Naruto's or mine now. In fact, I think it's a bit more."

Sasuke was shocked. Itachi had told him about the Uzumaki Clan's traits and after learning that Naruto was a half-blood and Karin was a full-blooded Uzumaki. He understood why the two Uzumakis had such crazy Chakra levels and endurance, but couldn't make heads nor tails on how Kibo was able to do the same.

"How did you do it?" Sasuke asked.

Kibo waged his finger left and right as he said, "Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, That's a clan secret. Besides. I'm not sure if you can even do it."

Kibo quickly asked Seiryu if it were possible for them to learn to open their Profound Gates.

"If they could access that Sage Mode, as you call it, then it's certainly possible," Seiryu answered with an amused expression.

Seeing Sasuke's disappointing expression, Kibo decided to the dog a bone by saying, "I'll tell you what, if you can use sage mode someday I'll teach you."

Kibo then looked over everyone in the group and said, "In fact, that statement applies to you all as well."

Everyone had a look of confusion on their face before Naruto asked, "What's Sage Mode?"

Kibo just laughed and said, "Something to ask your future instructor!"

They sat in line for almost an hour, mostly talking about menial things. Every once and a while, they had an in-depth discussion on a Jutsu or Ninshu related matter.

When it finally came time for them to take their pictures, Naruto started getting out face makeup from his jacket and pouch.

Kibo took one look at the white face past and red pain before yanking the canisters from this hands and tossing them into his storage.

"What gives!?" Naruto whined.

"Mom really would kill me, if I let you get your picture taken with that stuff all over your face," Kibo replied.

Naruto sulked while Hinata, who could now speak to Naruto without stuttering or passing out, comforted him by saying, "I think Naruto would look cool!"

Naruto hugged Hinata and cried into her chest, "Hinata's the best! She always knows how to cheer me up."

After doing this many times in the past, Naruto suddenly felt something very different before he stopped with a look of surprise on his face.

"N. Na. Naruto! T . . . t. too close!" Hinata shouted while blushing from the shoulders up.

Karin and Sakura both slammed their fist on Naruto's head making him cry out,

"Ouch!" Naruto hit the ground seconds before a knot could be seen growing on the top of his skull,

"Baka Naruto!" Sakura and Karin said at the same time as they walked away carrying in a petrified Hinata inside the Hokage's office.

Naruto stood up and put his arm around Kibo and quietly spoke, "I think Hinata got bigger again!"

Kibo shook his head while thinking, "This lucky bastard has no idea!"

Soon it came time for their pictures to be taken.

Naruto went in first. After a few minutes, a kid could be seen running out of the room shouting, "How dare you hit the Hokage's Grandkid?!!! I'll get you for this."

Naruto walked out next, blowing off his knuckles while saying, "Weird kid!

Kibo shook his head at their antics before headed in next. He had his picture taken and had to fill out a questionnaire. After the papers were turned in, Kibo sat in the Hokage's office and was asked a few things.

"So what do you think of Konoha?" The Hokage asked.

"I love it here!" Kibo replied with a grin on his face.

"Do you understand the dangers of being a Shinobi? And do you accept and promise to follow the laws of Konoha?"

Kibo nodded his head before answering, "I may not stay in the village for forever, but part of my clan will always reside here as Konoha's eternal allies."

Sarutobi responded with a smile before saying, "Tomorrow you'll be selected to join a team. As a fellow Leaf Shinobi, I look forward to your clan's continued partnership!"

Kibo shook his hand before being guided out of the room.

As the group walked down the street, they noticed a poorly made attempt at stealth tactics by Konohamaru.

After several obvious movements, Naruto shook his head and said "One second."

The blond Ninja turned around and grabbed the kid by the collar of his shirt. When Naruto lifted the boy up, the sloppily painted sheet, that was supposed to look like the fence, fell to the ground.

Konohamaru looked at Naruto with a grin on his face and said, "So you managed to see through my disguise, the rumors of your skill don't fail to impress."

Naruto pointed at the sheet and said, "You were holding it the wrong way, the top of your head was showing, and oh yeah, everyone could see you!"

Konohamaru's face was red as he replied before brushing Naruto's hands off of his shirt and shouting, "Never mind that! You gotta make me your disciple, and teach me that Sexy Jutsu you used on Gramps!"

As the words Sexy Jutsu were said, Naruto placed his hand over Konohamaru's mouth in fright.

Sakura then spoke up, "Naruto, care to explain?" The sounds of knuckles cracking could be heard behind his back.

"The 'what' Jutsu?" Karin followed up as her foot made an imprint in the ground.

Naruto slowly turned his head over his shoulder to see the girls lined up with scary expressions on their faces.

Naruto swore that he could see the image of a wrathful Buddha behind them. When his eyes drifted over to Hinata, his complexion turned purple out of sheer fright.

"Um Hinata why is your Byakugan active?" Naruto said sweating and shaking in fear.

"Please Naruto Kun enlighten us. What was the name of that Jutsu again?" Hinata questioned coldly with a dark expression overshadowing her environment.

"That technique is for using it on perverts only!" Naruto said picking up Konohamaru and running off.

In response, the girls started chasing after him while yelling at him to get back here.

As they watched the dust train made by their pursuit, Sasuke and Kibo had an awkward expression on their face.

Kibo said goodbye to Sasuke and headed home to receive the scolding of his lifetime. After explaining that he just lost track of time training.

However, his mother still said that other than performing Ninja duties, he was grounded for a month.

Kibo waited till Naruto came home looking drained. He explained that Konohamaru was a good kid and that they were friends now.

"So did you teach him 'that' Jutsu?" Kibo asked.

Naruto scratched his head and chuckled as he sat down and said, "Well, he was just so earnest in his approach, that I had to."

"You mean to say, he flattered you, and you caved in," Kibo replied while he shook his head.

"What can I say? It's unconventional, but the more powerful a person, the better 'that' Jutsu works for some reason," Naruto answered while thinking it was indeed strange.

"Kibo laughed before saying "I won't deny that it's a shocker to see during the heat of combat."

Kibo stood up from the dining room table and headed towards his room while saying "Well I'm grounded! So I'm heading to bed now! See you in the morning."

Naruto laughed at Kibo's predicament before he turned his attention to the food on his plate.

The next morning they all met up in class.

Iruka stepped inside the classroom, holding onto a piece of paper as he smiled and said, "Today is the last time I'll see you in this classroom as my students. I just want you to know how proud of you I am, and as your Instructor, it brings me great pride to announce the teams for the Future Shinobi of Konohagakure."

Iruka lifted up a sheet and cleared his throat before announcing, "Recently, the Hokage has changed the way we handle building the new teams."
