Chapter 81: CH 81
Naruto grumbled, "I'm not strong because I'm a jinchuuriki you know. It helps, but I'm strong because I damn near killed myself, almost literally, for years to get this good. I'm not even that good at using my biju's chakra. That was all me just now. The Kyuubi always said he wouldn't tolerate a weak container."
Naruto looked up at Kirabi, "The Kyuubi also said to stay the hell away from you in a fight, because you would completely smash me the second I turned it into a biju pissing contest… You have unrivaled control over yours, I can only handle three tails worth of Kyuubi's without going insane. *sigh* Why did I say that out loud?"
Kirabi's grin widened when Naruto admitted that, "To admit that kid, your balls area made of brass. Acknowledging that I can kick your ass."
Naruto frowned at him, "You're older than me by like twenty years. You have at least thirty years of experience with yours. You may have unrivaled control over the Hachibi, but I make up for that in my own way." He clinched his fists at his side, "I try to do as much fighting as I can without relying on anything from Kyuubi. I only bring any of my skills that it provides out into the open when I truly have no other choice. Most of the other jinchuuriki on record just use their demons to flat out annihilate anyone in their way without developing their own skills too much, Suna's jinchuuriki is like that, I beat him in his fully transformed state without even really tapping into Kyuubi's chakra, and I had other disadvantages too that I'm not going to get into." Karui looked at Naruto strangely. Beating a jinchuuriki is no joke, even for another jinchuuriki. This kid did it without even using his demon to match power. They all knew how Suna's jinchuuriki was repelled during the invasion of Konoha, but information on how it happened was scarce, and now, looking at the kid that was claiming to be the one that stopped him singlehandedly, she realized just how far out of their league they really were when they challenged him, "How are you still a chunin? With power like that you should be a jounin like Kirabi-sensei or Yugito."
Naruto shrugged, "That's what I've been saying for months, but Tsunade-baachan seems to think I need to stop and smell the flowers so to speak because she didn't fast track me after I beat all of best genin into the dirt without taking a shot. Hopefully I can get some serious missions to convince her to promote me."
Samui bowed to Naruto, making the boy sweat-drop in discomfort, "Thank you for sparring with our team Uzumaki-san, you've showed us how much further we need to go."
Naruto rubbed the back of his head as he looked away from the bowing girl, as the urge to stare down her shirt was nagging at the back of his mind… or was that the Kyuubi? "You don't need to bow to me Samui. And please just call me Naruto, honorifics kind of piss me off."
Samui rose back up, "Whatever you want Naruto-san."
His sweat-drop got more pronounced, "It's a start I guess…" Naruto looked at all of the Kumo ninja, "So are we going back to Kumo now? Because my squad leader Genma is going to be pissed when he can't find me. I can already smell the reprimands that I'll be getting when this mission is over. Nothing like getting your butt chewed out to make you feel like a kid."
Naruto looked around in order to get his bearings and took off in the direction that he figured was Kumo. Omoi walked up to his sensei as they all watched the blonde boy leave the vicinity, "Kirabi-sensei, why didn't you ask to fight Naruto? I thought you would have been all over that."
Kirabi looked at his student and ruffled his hair, "There was no need little Omoi. I already knew I could beat that boy. He said it himself, with my experience and power, he'd have been in the hospital in half an hour."
Karui held her ribs, "Man that guy hits hard. Are you sure sensei? The only person that I remember ever hitting me any harder than him was you, and this was a spar between foreign ninja. I'd say he would have pasted my organs if we were fighting for real."
Samui and Omoi moved to help her walk out of the valley while the blonde girl chipped in with her own input, "Naruto-san stated it himself, he couldn't beat Kirabi-sensei in a real fight. Sensei has way more experience and raw power at his disposal. It was big of him to actually admit it. Though I am still confused as to why you didn't fight him Kirabi-sensei. You were never one to turn down a potential challenge."
"It's because even your sensei isn't crazy enough to go against Raikage-sama, brother or not."
Yugito appeared from behind one of the peaks to meet up with her fellow Kumo nin, "A fight between the jinchuuriki of different countries is not something that should be done outside of the battlefield, even this small fight that you all had is somewhat pushing it. Jinchuuriki are not only weapons, they are political tools, and with the Konoha delegate in town a fight between either of us and Naruto could end badly for the relations of our villages regardless of the outcome."
Kirabi acknowledged his fellow jinchuuriki, "Yugito-chan, watching Mr. 9's fight too? You do know that he could see you?"
Yugito blew off the large man, "He could see you too. I was never hiding, I just wanted to see him fight. I'd been following since the others picked him up in town." A smirk came to her lips, "He's very good. I do think he would have still had the energy to go a few rounds with one of us if he had stuck around or was allowed to fight. He fought a very conservative style. All things considered he really didn't use that much chakra as far as jinchuuriki are concerned."
Kirabi grinned, "Looks like you've taken a shine to Mr. 9! If that look on your face is any sign."
Yugito narrowed her eyes at Kirabi, "I just said he was strong. He's younger than me, I could never be into a kid like that."
"I don't know kitten. Five years isn't that much of an age difference is it?" Yugito blinked at the voice in her mind.
'Nibi shut up! He's just a kid! A kid that could kill three-fifths of the people standing here yes, but still just a kid!' All Yugito got was a chuckle from the back of her mind. "Whatever you say kitten… Acting like his fight didn't turn you on just a bit." Yugito blushed and walked away before anyone could see it. Samui however, caught it before she could get away and narrowed her eyes.

(In Konoha)
Sakura stood with her hands hovering over a fish and glowing green. The focus on her face was intense as she attempted to bring it back to life through use of Shosen Jutsu (Mystical Palm Technique), taught to her due to her training under Tsunade.
