Kurenai Yuuhi looked over her students with a smile, the beautiful red eyed woman was known throughout Konoha as the Genjutsu mistress for her powerful and inventive genjutsu. Though she was even more renowned for her aversion to perverts, and the powerful and potentially deadly pervert killing genjutsu she had created. Unlike many of the other Jonin she did not know all that much about Naruto, having never really interacted with him. Though she did remember the many pranks the blond had pulled, and while she would not admit it she had found a lot of them to be quite funny.
A little ways away from the Konoha eleven stood five other figures, Iruka, Shizune, Kakashi, Jiraiya and Tsunade. Shizune was standing by Tsunade's side as always, she had been disappointed when she heard that Naruto had come back and she was not there to see him, hopefully she would get to see her brother figure today and see how strong he had become. Iruka was standing near a tree, as he anxiously waited for Naruto to show up. Tsunade and Jiraiya were both standing next to each other, wearing surprisingly similar smirks, though they were for slightly varied reasons. Kakashi was as always reading his new book with a giggle, causing many of the women near him to cast glares his way.
At 9:00 am exactly all those present spotted the figure emerging from the tree line on the opposite side, Shizune, Sakura, Ino and Tenten all found a rather large blush spreading across their faces as they stared at the blond Adonis. Hinata who had had her Byakugan on, spotted more of the blond then the others and let out an 'eep!' before passing out from blood loss. Even Kurenai who was currently dating Asuma, found it hard to keep the heat from rising to her cheeks.
The blond walked up to the group with a large foxy grin present on his face, causing the women in the group to feel even more heat rise to their face and a few felt heat going to… other areas. "Yo! I hope you guys have been doing good while I've been gone," Naruto said while the others stared at him.
For a moment no one said anything, most wondering who this person it was. It was not until they saw the tell tale whisker marks that they realized who they were staring at, most could not believe that Naruto who had been nothing more than a shrimp was now what many women would consider a Kami on earth. Even knowing what he had done and his now famous reputation, did not change their shock at seeing such a dramatic physical change.
The silence was broken when Lee appeared in front of Naruto, in his nice guy pose. "Yosh! Naruto-kun your youthful flames have truly grown stronger, I look forward to sparring you! And if I cannot beat I will…"
Naruto stopped Lee's speech with a raised hand as he chuckled, it seemed that some people would never really change. "I look forward to sparring you as well, it will be interesting to see how our taijutsu styles compare."
As if a dam had opened the rest of the Konoha eleven rushed over to Naruto and began to bombard him with questions, barely even letting the blond get a word in. off to the side Tsunade and Jiraiya smiled at seeing how all of Naruto's friends reacted, and how happy they were to see him. As well as how happy Naruto seemed to be, now that he was back in Konoha and with the friends he had made throughout the years. Tsunade gave them a little bit of time to talk, before deciding to get the test started.
"As much as I would love to let you all talk Naruto's ear off, we do have a test that needs to get started." Tsunade said as she made the Konoha eleven back off of Naruto, who gave her a grateful smile as he adjusted his haori. "This test will be Kakashi Hatake vs. Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, in a one on one battle!"
Naruto and Kakashi made their way out to the center of the training field, standing on opposite sides of each other next to the training posts. "Brings back memories, eh sensei?" Naruto asked with a smile as he looked at the middle training post, remembering when he had been tied to it when he and the other members of team seven had failed their genin test.
"It does doesn't it?' Kakashi said with an eye smile as he to remembered his times on team seven. Both those when he was a child under Minato, and again when he was the sensei of team seven. "Now then remember to-"
"Come at you with the intention to kill," Naruto finished with a smirk. "If you want me to fight without restraint, then your gonna want to reveal that eye of yours. Otherwise you might not actually live…"
"You know," Kakashi said as he lifted up his Hitea-ate, allowing his red Sharingan eye to show. "Somehow I think you may be right…"
"Are both fighters ready?" asked Tsunade who received a nod from both of them. "Then Hajime!"
Naruto and Kakashi kicked off the ground and launched themselves at each other, as they began a taijutsu battle. The two soon began trading blows as the attempted to land a hit on the other, Naruto using his father's style and Kakashi using a mixture of the Uchiha style and the Hatake style. For awhile this went on with neither being able to really land a hit on the other, Naruto was faster than Kakashi and had far better reflexes. However Kakashi had the Sharingan, which allowed him to keep track of Naruto's movements and predict where he would be next.
On the sidelines the Konoha eleven was watching the battle with shock, they knew Naruto had gotten strong. Given the rumors and news that had spread throughout the elemental nations, it was impossible not to. However hearing of that strength, is far different then actually seeing it.
"He's fast," Neji commented as he turned on his Byakugan, "my eyes can't keep up with Naruto and he's not even going all out."
Tenten turned to Neji in surprise, "he's really that strong?"
Neji nodded, "I also noticed several weights and seals on his persons, and I get the feeling this is not as fast as he can move with those weights on."
While Tenten gaped at Neji, Lee was covering his eyes with an arm as he cried. "To think Naruto-kun has gotten this strong, it is most youthful!" He brought his hands up in the air, before bringing a fist in front of his face. "I WILL INCREASE MY TRAINING AND TRY TO STRIVE TO FAN MY FLAMES OF YOUTH JUST LIKE NATUO-KUN! IF I CAN NOT DO THAT THEN I WILL DO FOUR THOUSANDS LAPS TO SUNA AND BACK ON MY HANDS!"
"THAT A BOY LEE!" Gai said as he got into his nice guy pose, "IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU TRYING TO STOKE YOUR YOUTHFUL FLAMES! I WILL HELP YOU AND IF YOU CANNOT DO FOUR THOUSANDS LAPS TO SUNA, I WILL DO SEVEN MILLION PUSHUPS ON MY THUMBS!"
"GAI-SENSEI!"
"OH LEE!
"GAI-SENSEI!"
"LEE!"
"GAI SENSEI!"
"LEE!"
The two were soon hugging, which caused a genjutsu complete with crashing waves and sunset back drop to appear behind them. Everyone who was within range of this nightmarish sight were soon on the ground, screaming as they tried to claw their eyes out in an effort to rid themselves of the sight. Several ninja including one Kurenai Yuuhi were trying and failing to dispel said illusion, much to her horror and confusion.
Neji and Tenten who were used to it just sighed, as they looked back at the battle.
