The Exams Await

!

Sarutobi was rubbing his forehead tiredly. The upcoming chuunin exam would be different from all of the previous ones. The presence of the mysterious soldiers Niamh and her ex-husband Hunter has stirred up all of the elemental countries, not to mention the palpable tension among the ninjas, especially the Hyuugas because Hidden Rock and Hidden Cloud villages had accepted his invitations for politeness sake. Even Mist is sending three of their genin teams although they were still facing difficulties. The news of the advance weapons of the shipwreck soldiers being in Konoha's not to mention during the chuunin exam Niamh would be facing all comings in her match to see which village would earn the right for her services had spread widely. And now the village was in high-alert.

He knows that Niamh wouldn't stay in this village for much longer as the clans of the village have been following her around night and day to get her into their clan. And she made it clear that the only reason she was staying here was the fact that she had taken Naruto, Sakura, and Hinata as her students. With so much riding on the upcoming take on all comers fight, all of the clan members were training at a pace he hasn't seen since the last ninja wars. They're going to be sending their best fighters to fight Niamh as will the other Hidden Villages will be sending theirs.

Then there was also another fact that is troubling his mind, the return of the ninja Butcher. Hunter told Sasuke when he had seen his eyes that he reminded him of someone he saw on his way to the Leaf. Sasuke ask Hunter where he seen his brother and was shock to hear that he and someone with him were beaten by a man in a gasmask. Kakashi hearing what Hunter could remember what the man look like knew who it was, as he seen him face to face before. Sarutobi remembers the carnage the Butcher left behind him as he slain all those who would stand in his way. The Leaf lost many of their best and finest against him.

When Sasuke ask how could a Uchiha as powerful as his brother lose to a hired killer, Kakashi told him that the Butcher was the one who slain most of his clan off during the war. The Butcher couldn't be affected by mind jutsus of any kind, he was the strongest and the most skilled assassin during the ninja war. The Uchiha clan were hit the most as many of the clan members became targets of the Butcher, Kakashi wasn't surprised that even someone of Itachi's skill wouldn't have been able to last long against Butcher. Out of all the ninjas of the ninja war only the 4th Hokage had manage to fight on equal terms with Butcher, even if he only managed to wound him during each of their fights.

The seal that the 4th used to seal the nine tails into Naruto took much from the user. Sarutobi knew that given his age and failing health he wouldn't be able to use the jutsu without dying from the amount of energy that's needed to use it. But the 4th in his prime might have live if it wasn't for the fact that he was heavily wounded by Butcher a few days before hand. Using the jutsu in his weaken condition cost him his life to seal the demon away. (1)

With Butcher back from retirement it was clear who he was after. Sarutobi also hope that he never lays his eyes on Naruto.

In Sound Village –

Orochimaru was wondering whether he should continue his plan to invade Konoha. There were too many unknown factors that he didn't anticipate. And all of this because of that blasted soldier Niamh who had been shipwreck along with another soldier who turns out to be her ex-husband. He knows that Niamh has the blood limit of speed but he still doesn't know what blood limit her husband Hunter has, he has heard that he went through some kind of operation for his blood limit in the lands where they came from.

Still both the Hidden Rock and Hidden Cloud villages weren't in good relation with Konoha. Perhaps he could convince them to help him. He wasn't sure that they would accept though. And if they didn't accept it, they might as well tell Konoha about his intention and that would ruin his plan. Unlike with the Hidden Sand village, he didn't have enough time to sway them. One small mistake and his plan could be all for naught. He had waited years for this. He couldn't take any chance.

"Mr. Pale you done well for yourself since we last met," a voice suddenly said.

"Who's there!" Orochimaru shouted as his personal bodyguards made their appearance.

"I know it's been awhile but how could you forget about me?" Butcher said as he sat in the open window of the office.

"Butcher!" Orochimaru hissed as he and his guards step back from the man who had single handed killed a combine force of opposing ninja forces of over a thousand combine. They were killed because their battleground they were fighting on was where Butcher had made his camp at. The fighting woke him up and he slain all of them for waking him up.

"I here because that new soldier from across the sea put a stop to my fun with your old partners Itachi and Kisame of that little club you joined awhile back before leaving the Akatsuki," Butcher said. "In fact I also killed them if it wasn't for that soldier showing up."

"You know of Akatsuki?" Orochimaru ask as he himself only heard rumors about it before he left the Leaf village. He waved to his guards not to make any moves on Butcher as even with his skills and powers he was forced to leave Akatsuki after his failed attempt of taking Itachi's body. And knowing Butcher he would have killed both Itachi and Kisame something that as far as he knew no one else would be able to be themselves.

"Just because I hang up my blades for awhile doesn't mean that I don't keep up in events," Butcher said.

"I have grown in power since we last met," Orochimaru said remembering the scar on his first body given to him by the man in front of him.

"Yes and gone through a couple of bodies also," Butcher said knowing what the snake man had been up too for the last couple of years.

"What do you want?" Orochimaru ask reminding himself not to lose control. Even with his new powers he knows that taking on someone like the man in front of him head first would end up with him dead.

"You know a lot of things have change since I have been away," Butcher said. "The Leaf village is now smaller then I remember, you have gotten your own Hidden Village, there's even two soldiers from across the sea with advance weapons. But now I'm back, well rested and ready to carve a bloody path through the element countries once again."

"And what do you want with me?" Orochimaru ask.

"Simple I want you to attack the Leaf as plan so I don't have to worry about anyone interfering when I have my rematch with that woman's husband," Butcher said. "If you don't, I'm just going to have to make this place my new hunting grounds."

"Either we attack the Leaf village or you will start killing of Sound nins," Orochimaru said.

"Yes but don't worry once the attack starts I'll lure those soldiers away from the action by killing off some Leaf nins saving your forces the effort to kill them and won't kill any nins on your side while I'm at it," Butcher said as he turns his back to Orochimaru. "That's just the kind of man I am." He seems to teleport away as he jumps out of the window.

"What do we do?" one of the guards asks.

"What choice do we have," Orochimaru said before smiling. "Besides with Butcher fighting along side with us we'll be able to put fear into the Leaf nins as they will think the most feared ninja slayer of the ninja wars is fighting on our side."

Near the fort of Nimah –

Naruto and Hinata panted as Sakura handed them some drinks as they finished their workout with Niamh and Hunter. They had been training together in the Two Soul style that Niamh and Hunter told them about. The training was for him and Hinata to read each other movements and know what the other would do without talking or telegraphing to anyone else. They have been training by passing a ball between them with them not holding on the ball for more then three seconds before throwing it to the other while going through jumps and leaps on a training course Niamh had built. Sakura ran the course too along with them for the first couple of times before she took a break.

"That's very good you two," Niamh said as she looks at her two students. "You finally have gotten it down without dropping the ball."

"Yes but something is missing," Hunter said.

"What is it?" Naruto said as both he and Hinata had run the course over twenty times before they gotten it right.

"Well you two need something else to wear instead of your ninja gear while training," Hunter answers.

"Why?" Sakura ask.

"Well for one I know you guys need your gear incase of an attack but they get in the way of training," Niamh said as more then once her students pulled something out to help with one of her training exercises which ruins the whole point of the exercise.

"And for Naruto and Hinata wearing the same style of clothes helps with their training in the Two Souls," Hunter adds.

"So what do you want us to wear then?" Naruto ask.

"Glade you ask," Niamh said as she uses her power to change the kid's clothes.

"What!" Hinata said as she found her clothes sitting in front of her along with her ninja gear. Looking down at what she's wearing now she blushed. She was now wearing a red silk shirt with wooden ties, black pants which both of them hugged her body, and black slippers.

"Wow cool!" Naruto said as he found himself in the same outfit.

"Why did you choose that?" Hunter said surprise to see Niamh picking the clothes of Ranma for the kids to wear.

"What I think it goes well with this place," she said.

"That's true," Hunter said.

"But Niamh I can't wear this," Hinata said as she looks at her coat laying next to her and wants to tuck herself into it.

"Hinata you'll have to stop being a turtle all of the time," Niamh said.

"Turtle?" all three kids ask.

"You hide inside your coat all the time," Hunter said.

"Besides you look great in that outfit," Niamh said as Hinata was much more developed then other girls her age.

"Yeah Hinata you look great," Sakura said as she looks at Hinata's developed hips and burst and looks over herself. Her inner self started ranting. 'I can't believe the shyest girl in class has that kind of body! How in the world she get so busty?'

"Sakura if you want to grow like Hinata here you're going to have to start drinking a lot of milk," Niamh said.

"Milk?" Sakura ask.

"Yes and I show you some stuff later on," Niamh said. At this point Hinata's face was burning red.

"Really," Sakura said with her eyes sparkling. 'Yes with my new figure I'll be able to win Sasuke!'

"And I got something that will help with your synchronization training," Niamh said.

"Really?" Naruto ask.

"What is it?" Hinata ask hoping it's not embarrassing.

"Tell me can you two dance?" Niamh ask as her three students look at her with confused looks on their faces.

Three days later –

Six of the rookie nine, were walking towards the fort to see what happened to the remaining three. Hinata's father said that she was staying at Niamh's place for some kind of training along with Sakura. Naruto was already living at the fort but none of them had been seen for the last three days. They were also joined by Gai's team as they wanted to meet Niamh and Hunter.

"I can't wait to meet Niamh and Hunter," Lee said. "Hunter went and took a punch from the Hokage's old student without flinching!"

"From what I heard he went through some operations from where he and Niamh came from to give him his blood limit," Ino said as Sakura had told her about it.

Choji knocked on the front gate of the fort as everyone who just jump over the walls were always thrown out by Niamh. The door opened to reveal Hinata and Naruto wearing identical red and black outfits with identical pathetic looks on their faces.

The other teens' eyes went wide seeing the two of them dressing the same as the other. "What's going on here?!" Kiba demanded.

"This is all Niamh's fault!" They both complained in unison. "We have to eat, sleep, train, and breathe together!"

"You're living in sin!" Ino said pointing an accusing finger at them.

"IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!" Hinata and Naruto chimed together.

"This is pretty creepy." Tenten commented aside to Shino who nodded in agreement.

"It's part of their training!" They all turned to see Niamh and Hunter with Maki behind them carrying groceries.

Explanations were made and they all went inside. The non-trainees were treated to sandwiches and tea. They watched as Naruto and Hinata tried to match steps as they moved on what looked like a twister board. The board was made out of a cloth like that was hooked up to a tv screen that are split into two screens.

"Why didn't you explain that it was synchronization training?" Ino asked. "It would've saved us a lot of grief. So how's the training going?"

The screen of Hinata's buzzed with an error as she missed a step.

"What's the point of this?" Susake ask.

"Well Niamh said that by dancing together with that game Niamh had with her that well help them get into sync with each other," Sakura said.

"Since they're too young to do what me and Niamh did to get into sync with each other," Hunter said.

"What is it?" Neji ask.

"We're a married couple before what do you think?" Niamh ask.

"They had sex with each other," Meow said as she watching Hinata and Naruto continue to dance.

"WHAT!" all of the kids shouted as one.

"One way to become in sync with each other is by having sex with the other so that each will know every detail of the others body," Ran said before taking a drink from her tea.

"That's the fast way," Niamh said. "From what I have seen of Naruto and Hinata, Naruto is clueless while Hinata is shy. Still they make a cute couple."

"Ms. Niamh!" Hianta shouted as her face turn red again.

"Many of those who learn the Two Soul style usually end up marrying each other as each knows each other very well," Hunter said. "That's how I married Niamh."

"I should have gone with that bookworm instead," Niamh said.

"Hey!" Hunter said.

"I agree with you there," Meow said.

"He's a pig," Maki said.

"And he leaves his messes around," Ran adds.

"Hinata you better start hen pecking Naruto so that he won't turn out like Hunter," Niamh said.

"You mean Hinata and Naruto will be husband and wife?" Tenten ask.

"I know that Hinata has a crush on Naruto but…" Ino began but couldn't think of the words.

"Yeah but Niamh says that since Naruto and Hinata will be in prefect sync with each other that they should just marry when they get older," Sakura said.

"Besides Naruto is quite the man for his age," Meow smirks.

"What do you mean?" Shikamaru ask.

"A few days ago when Meow turn on the water in the kitchen Naruto was in the shower at the time. When the hot water suddenly turned cold Naruto ran out forgetting his towel and shouted for us to turn off the water," Ran said.

"Poor Hinata here fainted when she saw him," Maki said smiling.

"Don't remind me of that," Sakura said remembering seeing her teammate without any clothes on. Hianta and the other hand turned red, looking like she's going to faint again.

"Judging from what I saw of Kakashi when I undress him, Naruto here is way above the average size of manhood," Niamh said.

"What he is?" Tenten and Ino ask as they heard about that kind of thing from older girls.

"Yes he is," Hunter said. "He might be a dead last ninja but he's more man then the other boys will ever be where it counts."

"He is?" Kiba ask as he stared at Naruto.

"He can't be," Sasuke said.

"Yes he is," Niamh said as suddenly appears next to Naruto holding his clothes. "Compare size."

"EEEK!" Ino cried out as she stares at Naruto's thing.

"Is that for real!" Tenten shouted staring at his thing.

All the guys besides Hunter were staring at Naruto with shock looks as they see his manhood.

"And it's not even hard," Niamh said as she uses her power to dress Naruto in his clothes again.

"Niamh don't do that!" Naruto shouted at her can't believe that she did that.

"And you made Hinata faint," Sakura said as she carries Hianta's body to the couch.

"Well she's going to have to get use to it," Niamh said. "Naruto may not be much in some areas but he's above the rest in others."

"He'll might even out gun me once he's full grown," Hunter said.

"You mean you're… big as well?" Kiba ask. Neji used his blood limit and saw underneath Hunter's clothes and took a gulp as he saw that Hunter was telling the truth.

"Yup," Hunter said.

Meow turn to Ino and Tenten. "So what do you think of Naruto now?"

"What he'll kill us with that thing!" Ino shouted as her face turn red.

"He's too big!" Tenten said with a fearful look on her face that was ruined by her face turning red.

"Well if you ever going to have kids one day someone of Naruto's size will help loosen you up," Ran said.

"And babies heads are much bigger then that," Maki said.

"Naruto is also much better then Hunter. Sure he's great in bed but everything else is just bad," Niamh said.

"Really?" Tenten ask.

"If you girls pass up someone like Naruto you'll never know what you miss," Maki said.

"But we're not old enough," Ino said as she blush looking at her feet.

"Just wait a few years then," Hunter said as he pats Naruto's shoulder. "Once word spreads about you, you're going to be a girl magnet."

"Why do you men always think it's about size?" Niamh said. "And stop filling Naruto's head with those thoughts."

"Yeah it's more about how cute guy's butts are!" Maki said.

"A cute butt is also important," Ran said.

"That's the money shot!" Meow said.

"Which Naruto also has a cute butt," Niamh said as she turns to the girls of the room. "So remember that Naruto has the package and the behind."

The girls all blush as thoughts began to fill their heads, even Hinata who had woken up. While the boys all glared at Naruto as he's taking all of the girl's attention.

"Niamh why are butts important?" Naurto ask.

"Well you see…" Niamh began smiling at him. (2)
