"Hyoton: Kitsune Hisu No Jutsu! (Ice Release: Ice Fox Jutsu)"
The water began to coalesce in the air and take shape again, this time into four small foxes with red eyes. However rather than just launched themselves at Kakashi they froze over, before attacking. Kakashi's eyes widened as he dodged the foxes, however the ice creatures merely turned around and attacked again. Forcing him to continue dodging.
"Hyoton!," Shizune said in shock, "how can he possibly do Hyoton jutsu, I thought only those from Yuki or those with bloodlines could use those!"
"I think you'll find that Naruto is a man of many surprises," Jiraiya said with a grin.
Sakura listened to the discussion going on around her and could not help but feel somewhat distressed, it was obvious Naruto had surpassed her. Hell she was pretty sure that Naruto had surpassed everyone here, it made her wonder what she had been doing all these years. It felt as if her team mate had left her behind again, and she was still running to catch up.
Getting tired of constantly dodging the foxes, which seemed to have an almost limitless energy and knew where he was even after using a kariwimi. Kakashi went through several hand seals, calling upon his only original jutsu.
"Raikiri! (Lightning Blade)"
Lightning formed on Kakashi's hand and as the next fox came up to him, he sliced at it, breaking the fox into pieces. Kakashi continued this until he had destroyed the last one. He was just about to look for Naruto when he felt cold steel on his neck and froze, looking down he saw a tri pronged kunai right next to his jugular.
"Looks like I win sensei," Naruto said with a smirk.
The cycloptic jonin looked at his sensei's famous kunai in shock, before he started chuckling. "When did you mark me?" Kakashi asked curiously, knowing that Naruto had not thrown the kunai since he had not seen it.
"During our taijutsu battle," Naruto answered, "I marked you when I grabbed your arm."
Kakashi looked at his sleeve and found that he did indeed have the Hiraishin seal, on the sleeve of his shirt. Kakashi chuckled, "looks like you really have grown, and you've already surpassed me."
Naruto grinned as he pulled his kunai away and put it in his pouch, "thanks sensei." The two walked back over to the stunned crowd, who was staring at Naruto like he had grown a second head. "What?" Naruto asked with a confused expression as he tilted his head to the side, all the girls there bit their lips in an attempt not to glomp the poor boy and shout 'kaiwaii!'.
Kiba snorted, "what? He just kicks Kakashi's ass into next week and all he says what!"
Several others nod at this, however Naruto just rolls his eyes, "Hello S class ninja here!"
Tsunade looks at Naruto as she starts speaking, "you really have gotten better, I think it's safe to say genin does not suit your skills anymore." Tsunade pauses for a moment, "however due to the fact that we have yet to test you in the field with our jonin I can only grant you the rank of Tokabetsu (special) jonin. Though that should work until some of the other jonin rate your skills."
"Your just giving me this rank so that I can suffer through council meetings, didn't you?" Naruto dead panned. Part of the prerequisite for being allowed a seat on the council if you were the last of your clan was to be at least of Tokabetsu jonin rank.
Tsunade smirked, "now why would you think that? You don't think I would do something so cruel to someone I consider a son would you?"
"Yes, yes I think you would baa-chan," Naruto answers, "Great this is just what I need. Having to sit through a bunch of meetings with greedy old bastards, who can't even shit without help."
Everyone laughed at Naruto's description of the council, many feeling that it was slightly true of the civilian side.
"Think of it this way," Tsunade said, "at least your getting experience for when you become Hokage."
"Ugh… that's right," Naruto groaned, "when I'm Hokage I'm gonna have to deal with this shit even more. Hmm… maybe I should just not be Hokage, I'll let Konohamaru take the title when he is ready instead."
"Oh no you don't," Tsunade said, "I have waited too long to retire, when you're ready your gonna take that damn title off my hands so I can relax."
Naruto pouted a bit before he gave her a mischievous grin, "well I suppose I can do that. After all your getting to old for this job baa-chan," everyone stepped away from Tsunade who had gotten a tic mark on her head. Naruto however continued on as if oblivious to the woman's growing anger, "I mean who knows, you might even bite the dust before Konohamaru's ready. In fact I think we should put you in a retirement home right now."
BOOM!
Naruto jumped out of the way just in time to dodge one of Tsunade's punches, "careful baa-chan, wouldn't want you getting cramps at your age," Naruto said with a laugh.
"God damn brat! Stand still and take your punishment like a man!" Tsunade yelled as she tried to smash Naruto's face in.
Naruto merely laughed at her as he continued to make fun of the enraged woman.
Everyone else sweat dropped at seeing Tsunade trying to kill Naruto.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Tsunade chugged down her saucer of sake before slamming it down onto the table.
"Your still an extremely heavy drinker eh, Tsu-hime?" Jiraiya said with an amused smirk as he poured her another saucer. However he was forced to hold up his hands when Tsunade glared at him.
"Can it pervert!" the busty blond said as she took another drink of the sake, this time sipping it and allowing the liquid to burn its way down her throat. "Now why don't you tell me what this is about? And if you say it's a date, you can be sure I'm going to pound your ass into the dirt!"
"My I didn't know you liked it rough Tsunade-chan!" Jiraiya said with a lecherous grin, which soon turned into a look of fear when Tsunade's face turned red with anger. "Alright alright," the Toad Sennin said defensively, "I wanted to talk to you about Naruto." Jiraiya reached into his pouch and pulled out one of his apprentices silencing seals, placing it under the table before speaking.
"What about Naruto?" Tsunade asked, "is something wrong?"
Jiraiya looked slightly uncomfortable, "he's having a bit of trouble with his seal." He quickly held up his hands in a placating gesture when he saw Tsunade look like she was about to freak. "Don't worry the seal isn't breaking or anything, it's just loosened," he finished lamely.
"Loosened? What happened?" Tsunade asked when she saw the slightly guilty expression.
