Naruto: Journey Of The Strongest Teacher

Ishizu's clone POV

I watched how some Kusa teammates (ab)used young Karin as a medical station. I felt sad for her and didn't want to waste any more time seeing her like that so I henged into a younger version of me and approached them. "You are truly disgusting using your comrade like this. I don't even consider you as humans so I won't feel bad killing you. I see you also have an earth scroll. I will take that before I will break every bone, every muscle which not even the girl can heal," I said, making my way to them.

They didn't freeze but started to laugh. 'The hell? It is like Gato. Dumb people always overestimate themselves. I have read about it in my past life. I think it was called the 'Dunning-Kruger effect.'

"Hahaha, you sure talk big. We outnumber you so... "

He didn't get to say more because I hated useless monologues, so I killed him and his partner quickly. From Karin's expression, I could tell that she was shocked, seeing her abusers dying but deep inside she was happy that they were gone. She looked at her savior, hoping he didn't hurt her. I dropped my henge as she didn't want her to think I am hiding something.

"I hope you are ok. I am a Konoha Shinobi and I can see by your hair that you are of the Uzumaki Clan. We from Konoha had always a good connection with Uzu and even have an Uzumaki here in Konoha," I said as I kneeled to help her up. Karin's eyes immediately opened as she heard a relative was alive. "Really, there is a cousin alive?" asked Karin. I smiled at her innocence: "Yes, and if you come with me, I will heal you and after that, you can meet him." Karin had tears in her eyes. "Yes. Please. I will go do anything so please take care of me."

Karin got on Ishizu's back and they left for the main body. During the time on her savior, Karin tried to feel Ishizu's chakra, and it amazed her at how much chakra he had. On the outside, his chakra felt warm and strong. As she looked further, she started to shiver as if she was coated in snow. Ishizu's charka was like he wore a happy mask but behind it was so much sadness followed by selfishness. It nearly suffocated her.

Seeing Karin's expression Ishizu could guess that she felt his charka and he couldn't hide from her ability. "You don't have to look further if it makes you sick. The world is horrible and even I am not an angel. So I hide my true feelings from others and show it in dire situations only. But. There is something that helps me from falling completely into the darkness. See for yourself."

It shocked Karin because no one knew of the ability she possessed, but she wanted to see further. Deep in Ishizu's soul, she saw a d.e.s.i.r.e to conquer everything. He disliked being weak. He also regretted things. Ishizu wanted to rule, to be on top of everything. Then, deep in a corner of his soul, she saw a small light wandering around. It was so pure of love, one-sided love, for a single person. It was of a woman she had never seen before. This light, which was so small, controlled the whole darkness like it was the leader.

"Who is this woman?" asked Karin, wondering. Ishizu smiled: "She is the one who controls me from going insane in this world. She is my light shining in the darkness. Her name is Anko Mitarashi."

(I just wanted to troll :)

"Her name is Kaguya Otsutsuki."

Ishizu's POV Near Sasuke

I saw the sound team approaching and trying to kill Sasuke. Lucky, the latter woke up feeling power surging through his veins as the cursed Mark activated but it was weaker because of the Fuinjutsu and the first thing he did was to break; I think his name was Zaku, arms. Taking the soul of Orochimaru lessened the corruption which helped Sasuke not to attack his teammates but he already tasted the forbidden power.

Team 7 made it to the center and passed.

And so ended the second exam.

All Genin who passed the second exam healed in the tower. The other clones arrived, and I took them inside my body, learning what had happened.

Taking Karin with me, I talked with the Hokage about her. He agreed to let her stay for the moment and would talk with Kusa after the exam. After that, I walked with her to Naruto. Karin's character changed like a switch. She started talking non-stop with Naruto. The fellow Uzumaki overwhelmed Naruto, but he was happy that he met a relative. He showed her a picture of his mother. Karin was surprised by hearing the name of Naruto's mother. She told him that her mother told Karin that Kushina was of royal blood. That made Naruto a prince.

I summoned another wood clone just to keep Hayate Gekko alive so he won't die by Baki and Kabuto's hand and also for an experiment.

Time passed, and it was time for the 3rd pre-exam.

I sat in a seat, waiting for the first fight between Sasuke and some random Kabuto henchmen to start. I would sleep through most of the fights as they were boring, and I knew who would win. The henchmen's job was for Sasuke to rely on the mark but my Fuinjutsu kept it sealed for the time. Unfortunately, it couldn't suppress it all the time or the curse Mark would adapt.

Kankuro won against Kabuto henchmen #2.

Ino defeated Sakura but not with one punch like I expected as Kakashi finally started to train his students. On a scale from 1 to 10, the fight was a solid 5. Not too entertaining but not as boring as in canon.

Shikamaru won against Kin of sound.

"Naruto Uzumaki vs. Kiba Inuzuka," coughed Hayate. At the mentioning of my student, I glanced down. "All right Akamaru, let us show the dead last what we can do," shouted Kiba.

I shook my head at his proclaim. 'Is he stupid or is this normal for an Inuzuka? Didn't he see that Naruto defeated Neji?'

Both came to the arena and began to fight. Kiba transformed Akamaru into another Kiba which jumped on the Inuzuka. "Human beast clone. Let's go Akamaru, Gatsuga," Kiba screamed as they started to rotate creating a tornado that came directly at Naruto. Naruto just stood there only for smoke to appear before the Gatsuga crashed into him. As the smoke cleared, one could see both Kiba and Akamaru in the wall and Naruto perfectly fine. Kiba didn't give up: "Come on Akamaru one more time. He can't dodge forever. Gatsuga!"

The same happened as Naruto threw a smoke grenade and the attack went through just for Naruto to appear unharmed. Kiba got angry at his failed Gatsuga: "Damit, how can he dodge it? Doesn't matter if I can't see him I can smell him. Akamaru let's do it." Akamaru jumped into the air and to every horror of women, strayed his urine all over Naruto.

Naruto only looked disgusted and didn't dodge: "Is this your attack? Spraying me with dog pis?" Kiba grew a tick mark but smiled: "You just wait and see. Let's go: Gatsuga smell attack!" Again another smoke sphere appeared but Kiba laughed: "Ha, I can still smell you. Now be gone."

Instead of hearing an impact, he heard a 'puff' and the smell of Naruto disappeared. 'How can the smell disappear I knew I marked him?' As Kiba thought about it he didn't see hands gripping him through the ground immobilizing him in. Out of the ground came Naruto. Kiba struggled to come out but Naruto held a kunai to the poor Akamaru.

"I won, Kiba. For you to comprehend what happened. I created smoke to spawn a clone first and then hide in the ground. My clone then dodged your attack. The last attack hit him because you could smell him but as it was only a clone, you lost his smell after he disappeared. I wanted to see if you improved but you are still headstrong, thinking you can defeat me only because I was dead last. People chance Kiba, so should you."

A clap was heard and as people turned around, they saw Ishizu clapping. "Good job Naruto. The tactic was good but I hope your next fight won't be as boring as this one was."

Kurenai glared at Ishizu but the latter shrugged: "What? Train your genin better or you will only humiliate yourself, Kurenai."

Naruto returned and was happy to see Hinata and Ino cheering for him at his victory.

The next fight was Hinata vs Neji. This was the most interesting fight Ishizu wanted to watch as it was for him to see if he had trained her to be stronger than Neji or not.

General POV.

Both Hijūga's stared at each other. "Your face shows no fear of me. Why is that?" asked Neji.

Hinata smiled: "Because I know that I will win. Not by destiny or that I am from the main branch but by pure skill and determination. I have something to fight for and trained under my sensei like there was no tomorrow. Now come Neji-niisan. Let me show you how faulty your destiny truly is." Hinata charged at Neji who blocked her attack only to be sent a few meters away by the sheer force of Hinata's palm. Many people were shocked by the strength Hinata showed in that attack. Ishizu laughed as he saw the faces from the others. 'What?' Neji had no time to react as Hinata continued to attack.

Every attack from Hinata put Neji into a difficult situation. No matter how Neji blocked, Hinata's strength was off the charts.

'I will not be defeated by her,' thought Neji. The Hijūga put himself together and attacked Hinata with full strength. They exchanged the Juuken with no one of the backing off. People cheered. All thought they were evenly matched albeit only 3 knew the opposite. Ishizu watched as Hinata slowly increased her power with each attack. Neji, too, felt the increase of the hits Hinata made. He had to act fast or he would lose. "I will end it," screamed Neji. "You are in my field of view!"

"The same goes for you," muttered Hinata. "Hakke Rokujuuyon Shou/Shugo Hakke Rokujuuyon Shou." Both attacks clashed. Every single time Neji tried to come close to Hinata, she blocked with her special rotation. No matter what Neji did, he couldn't harm Hinata. Hinata waited for the right moment to finish it. "Now it is over." Hinata leaped at Neji and stopped with her hand before Neji's heart. Neji or anyone else didn't imagine the speed Hinata showed as he couldn't counter. "I won, Neji-niisan. Not because of destiny but because I trained hard and have friends to fight for." Neji looked at Hinata's hand silently and let his head hung down.

After this lovely fight, where Ishizu almost cried because of happiness and made a dance together with Gai, they held the next fight. Dosu won against Choji and the next fight was between Gaara and Lee. Ishizu thought about interfering but let it happen. Gaara crushed Lee's leg and Gai stopped him from killing Lee.

Sasuke, Gaara, Naruto, Hinata, Ino, Dosu, Shikamaru, Kankuro, Shino and Temari.

(I know that I didn't include some fights but you know them as you probably watched the anime.)

The fights in 1 month were followed:

Naruto Uzumaki vs Hinata Hijūga

Gaara vs Sasuke Uchiha

Kankuro vs. Shino Aburame

Temari vs. Shikamaru Nara

Ino Yamanaka vs Dosu

Ishizu had a smile on his face. Everyone would remember the next fight between future husband and wife.
