-=Take your time=- rewritten

One month is a long time... What do you think that can happen in one month?

Easy stuff like getting 1000 clones to create insanely powerfull jutsus, master almost all of your abilities, learn new and awesome seals, including one to keep you in sage mode indefinitely, I made it look like the tattoo that Meliodas used, so now i have my cursed seal of wrath, good name right? I learned the fox sage mode, according to the foxes this mode will give boosts according to how many 'tails' i have, since i am not a fox, it means tail worth of chakra, so if i have one tail it give 100% boost to me 2 tails 200% and so on. I also started my Bankai training but i am no freak like Ichigo so i can't do it after only one month. well just about anything can happen.

Naruto is right now giving his farewell to his new summons and friends.

"Thanks guys, i need to return now but later i will come back and do what i promissed" During his stay in the fox realm Naruto got to know a lot of interesting 'people'...

In the time he spent in the summon realm, his clones that he had given the mission to find some places and get some special jutsus for him didn't complete their mission yet (plot, they will all complete after the attack, in case you skipped it, this is in the SIDE STORY section at the end of the last 3-4 chapters) But that does not concerns him. If they didn't disperse then they have time yet.

In konoha as soon as Naruto appears the hokage calls him to his office.

"Naruto, tell me what happened to you when you used the summoning jutsu" Hiruzen said the last part while glaring daggers at Jiraya.

"I was summoned to the summon realm" Naruto answers looking at Hiruzen as if he was an idiot, his face says

'what did you expect? to me to be summoned in another world?' Jiraya almost laughs, but he knows that if he did, he would be sooo screwed.

"*COUGH* i mean which summon you encountered?" Hiruzen tries to change the question.

"Foxes" Naruto answers, while Jiraya and Hiruzen are clueless about this summons, a certain spy seal informs a red head who gets REALLY surprised at this.

But Anyway thats a tale to another side story.

"Can i go now hokage-sama? there are some people i want to see before the finals start" Naruto asks a little annoyed

"Ah, of course you can" As soon as Naruto goes away Hiruzen asks Jiraya

"Have you ever heard of such summon beasts?" Jiraya shakes his head

'is this good or bad?...'

-=-

"Aahhhhhh... were is Naruto? I can't take it anymore! it's been a month already! Haku, we are going to find him!" it seems that Ikki had enough of Naruto's absence

"Calm down Ikki, it's just a month, he is probably going to come back for the exam" Haku answered

"You say that it's JUST a month because you didn't stay away from Ayame for even a day..." Cheekily shots back Ikki

"Hah?...You... now you are just being childish..." Slightly blushing, replied Haku

"But she is kinda cute when she does this isn't she?" a voice asks

"Well i can't argue with that... wait Naruto?" Haku answers but in the middle of his answer he notices who is the person that asked this.

Naruto is standing besides Haku, he is holding a cute ice fox in his arms, and looking at Ikki with amusement in his face.

"Naruto! where have you been? OH MY GOD! Who is this cute creature here!?" Ikki immediately brighten up as she sees Naruto, but when she sees Kyuki in his arms, she almost melts, That's how cute Kyuki is...

"As lively as aways huh? You never change Ikki... but that is one of your cute aspects anyway... This here is Kyuki, my summon contractor i am showing konoha to her"

Ikki blushes as Naruto calls her cute, as she is playing with Kyuki, Naruto is having a talk with Haku.

"So you and Ayame-nee are a thing now?"

"Sigh~, Yes... we are..." Haku expected Naruto to tease him for this, but instead

"Congratulations then, But beware, if you ever hurt her..." As Naruto said the last part, his Kyugan activated and glowing dangerously looked at Haku

"I wouldn't dare... i like Ayame as much as Ikki like you probably" Haku is slightly intimidated by Naruto, so he changes the subject

"Then it must be a lot... i am relived"

"What?! you knew?!" Haku asks surprised

"Of course i knew, do you take me for a fool or what?"

"Then why didn't you say anything?"

"I am waiting for her to be ready to tell me herself, especially since i will have more than one girlfriend as i am one of the last Uzumakis out there, when she decides to tell me herself and accepts this fact, then i have no reason to decline..."

"That's...." Haku is at a loss of words

Naruto interrupts their talk by loudly speaking as he picks Kyuki in his arms again.

"Anyway,I need to show the rest of konoha to Kyuki before the time of the exams, so i will be going first"

As Naruto passes by Ikki, he notices her blushing and fidgeting, so he smirks and says in a low voice

"Looks like our cute Ikki is also a little spy~"

Ikki blushes harder as Naruto noticed her spying on their conversation, but when she looks back, he is not with the teasing smile she expected.

"Take you time" As Naruto says that, Ikki's heart starts to beat faster, she notices that he is wearing as a colar, the good luck charm she gave him, which makes her smile.

As she looks at Naruto's departing back, a look of resolution appears in her face.

Naruto is walking though konoha with a cute fox in his arms, which attracts the attention of a lot of people.

When he arrives at his second destination, Training ground 8.

Were he knew Hinata was at, how did he know? simple, he sensed it, Sage mode boy, no one is as good of a sensor as the current Naruto.

Naruto approached the training ground 8, he sensed Hinata training with Kurenai there earlier, He overheard someone saying that Shino won some kind of mini tournament and would participate in the chunnin exam final or something... he seems to be beati*Cough* training with Kiba...

"Oi, Hinata, Kurenai-san"

As soon as Naruto's voice was heard, as if programmed, Hinata turned her head with incredible speed, her eyes however, found a new object to glue themselves into: Kyuki

"Naruto? where have uou been? it's been a month almost" Kurenai asks

"I was training at the summon realm, this here is Kyuki, my summon"

"She is so cute!" Hinata said without stuttering, it seems that cute things have great effects on her.

"...thanks" Answers Kyuki

"She can talk?" This time is Kurenai's turn to be astonished, summons that can talk are quite rare, afterall.

"Anyway, Kurenai-san, can i borrow Hinata for a bit? i want to talk to her before the exam starts"

"Hun? oh, sure..." Kurenai answers, but anyone can see that she is not really paying attention.

"Great, let's go Hinata" Naruto enthusiastically said, as he grabbed Hinata's hand, causing her to blush.

-=-

Naruto is talking with Hinata, as he shows konoha around to Kyuki, they definitely attracted some glances when they were passing by some more crowded areas...

"...Im telling you, you would look way better if you let your hair grow Hinata, mixing a long hair with your cuteness... that's a killer combo..." Naruto muttered, mostly to himself.

Hinata has developed a resistance to Naruto after the last incident, but even then, she still blushed hard as Naruto said that.

"D-Do y-you rea-really think s-so?"

"Hum? Of course! just imagine how cute you would look with long hair? and imagine if you were paires with Kyuki at that? man... that would be enough cuteness to topple a nation..."

Naruto kept talking with Hinata for some more time, her resistance to his presence went up, He decided to be slower when it comes to Hinata, if he were to suddenly talk to her about matters such as relationships, she would probably faint... so until her resistance to him is good enough, he will take it slow.

------------

After his 'date' with Hinata, Naruto went to find Karin, She is living at the same house as he, Haku and Ikki, he didn't see her there earlier because she was working at the hospital.

"Karin, how are you doing?"

"Hump" Karin pouts and looks away

"What's the matter?"

"you disappeared for an entire month, and you ask what's the matter?" Karin 'angrily' says, Naruto can tell she is not really angry, but she is definitely annoyed.

"Im sorry, How can i make up to you, oh Karin-sama?" Naruto exaggerating said.

"Pfft, c'mon, That's unfair" Karin can't keep her laughs at bay

"Well, if it makes you feel better, i promisse to make up to you after the exam..."

"Great!... i mean, oh, ok. i will cheer for you then..."

"Then it's a date! i need to go now, the exam is about to start... se you later Karin"

Naruto flash steps away, leaving behind Karin with a perverted smile on her face.

At the arena Naruto sees Sakura, Shikamaru, Temari, Kankuro, Gaara, Lee and Tenten. the other did not arrive yet. He does what any sane person would do and ignores Sakura, He greets Shikamaru and Lee and is surprised by Gaara's expressions, he sees that this Gaara is way less bloodthirsty than the one from a month ago

'He seems to have changed... interesting'

[Maybe Shukaku grew up and stopped being childish as well?]

'Wait, wait... let's not get ahead of ourselves here, ok?'

[Hahaha, Kit, i was just joking, there is no way that Shukaku would grow up!]

"Yo Gaara, Temari and Uglyfaced puppeteer, how's it going?" Naruto's presence has difderent effects on the 3 suna nin, Gaara is thankfull that Naruto indirectly opened his eyes, Temari is looking at the joking blond in front of her while remembering his speech and trying to find the reason that he can still be so cheerful, while Kankuro... Kankuro is fuming.

"Who are you calling uglyfaced you bast*rd?"

-=-

The finnals begin and the first fight is Naruto Uzumaki vs Rock Lee.

This fight will shake the arena, literally.

As both of them enters the arena Naruto is the first one to speak

"Lee let's do our best and show the word what we are capable of!" Naruto really wants to test his improvements against someone strong, and Lee is the perfect candidate for that.

"YOSH, I will show everyone my YOUTH!" Lee answered while getting prepared to his battle. Before the proctor can start some shouts can be heard.

"Lee, shown the word your YOUTH!" You know who

""Good luck Naruto!"" Hinata looks at Karin and remembers that Naruto saved her in the second stage of the exams and decides to speak with her as she is a new member of konoha.

Ikki and Haku are also cheering for Naruto.

"And... START" the proctor said making everyone look at the arena.

Lee starts by trying to close the distance between him and Naruto but well... Naruto runs faster than Lee at his direction and punches using Lee's momentum against him. Lee blocks the punch but is launched back, he is surprised that Naruto could push him backwards with all his weights.

"LEE, TAKE THEM OFF!" Guy shouts from the stands making some people misunderstand his words...

Lee jumps away at the top of a rock (i placed some rocks in the arena for this, cause i wanna) Naruto does the same with another rock at the opposite direction, Lee takes his weights off making some people laugh, Temari included

'Oh please, what can some weights even do to change the result?' As soon as the weights hit the ground a small earthquake occurs, shocking the living sh*t out of some people. while everyone is looking at Lee slack jawed Naruto smirks and removes his own weights deatctivates his training seals and throws the weights away, people prepare to another earthquake but the weights hit the ground and explode... Naruto made so that his weights would explode, so he did not cause much damage to the arena... but he underestimated his own fuinjutsu achievements. The explosion caused a even stronger earthquake on the arena.

[You overdid it Kit]

'Hehe, Oops?'

"Is everyone in konoha such freaks?" Kankuro asks after almost eating a fly...

"..." Temari is speechless, Guy looks proud and Kakashi looks depressed

'He really lerned more with Guy than me...'

At the arena Lee and Naruto's figures are appearing and disappearing at insane speeds, every time they collide a shockwave is formed, their strength seems almost equal, the more experienced jonins can see that Naruto is faster and Lee is stronger.

Lee sees that he has no way of getting the upper hand so he asks Guy with a glance if he should use the gates

"Lee, you need to take decisions on your own, i can't aways be there to say to you when you should do what" Lee's eyes shine with resolution as he opens the first gate.

"GUY, Are you crazy!? You taugh him how to open the gates?" Kakashi can't believe that someone did something so extreme.

while Lee starts to get the upper hand Naruto flash steps to the side.

"Let's stop the warmup shall we?" As Naruto finishes saying that he starts emanating a enormous pressure, orange marks appear on his face, giving him a fox-like look, his cursed seal of hatred start shining slightly.

-=-

"WHAT?!" Incredulously shouts Jiraya, how can a kid not even a third od his age, master the sage mode to such degree, while he couldn't?

"Oh my..." Hiruzen mutters while the 'Kazekage' starts to pay more attention to Naruto

'Why do i feel that i have something to do with that?' He asks himself
