True Potential | A Naruto Fanfic

All in a day's work

As Orochimaru ran away, all the fighting on the roof ceased and the Reanimated Shinobi all regained control over their bodies.

"Hmph. I didn't expect any less from my sprout's sprout." Tobirama allowed his lips to twist into a genuine smile, which warmed Naruto's heart, but then he raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Sprout? As in, little tree?" Naruto asked and the Senju brothers nodded sagely.

"Indeed. The Senju Clan calls their young ones sprouts, in resemblance to freshly planted trees, our symbol...speaking of...I wanna know something...Sprout. You should have access to the Senju Compound, have you ever seen the Ancestral Tree?" Tobirama would ask, making the boy tilt his head in confusion and raise an eyebrow.

"I...no? I've never ventured past the library cause I've been so busy with the Chunin Exams...speaking of. We shoukd quell the inva-" his eyes widened as he sensed the situation.

"CRAP! I gotta go! None of you move!" He ordered and disappeared in a yellow flash.

Outside the Academy.

Yoshito and Sasuke were on the ground as a victorious Kazekage and a Platoon behind him stood proudly.

"I'll hand it to you gents, you put up a very good fight, but you're no match for a Ka-"

"Raiton..." Rasa, the Kazekage's eyes turned to where Naruto was, as a ball of Lightning shot up to the sky, gathering massive clouds over them. Narrowing his eyes, he was about to send Gold Dust at the Senju, however a mighty roar stopped him just before.

In the sky stood a massive Lightning Dragon connected to Naruto's right arm by a cord of Lightning, roaring with its great might, spreading fear across the Suna platoon and even the Kazekage. Before he could even think of protecting himself with his gold dust, Naruto would lower his arm and say the final thing the Kazekage would hear:

"...Kirin."

KABOOOOOOM!

What used to be 201 of the strongest Suna Shinobi were now nothing besides a disintegrated memory, with rubble standing where they used to be. Iruka hurried outside of the building—which was still surrounded by a barrier—with wide eyes, only to see Sasuke and Yoshito struggling to walk and Naruto helping them.

"Y-you g-guys...did this?" He asked in bafflement, before Sasuke scoffed and Yoshito sighed.

"No, it was all Naruto. We could only hold the Kazekage off, this guy turned him into...well that." Yoshito explained, pointing at the rubble.

"Wow...I- I guess that's that?" Iruka would ask, and his only answer was Naruto closing his eyes momentarily and nodding.

"The Hyuuga Clan seems to be almost done with the South side by what I'm sensing and seeing on top of the Hokage Moontain, Shikaku Nara led the Nara and Yamanaka Clans with support from some Aburame to drive the enemies on the East away, the Western side, so here is clear of most enemy Shinobi, though Kakashi and Guy are dealing with any remaining Oto shinobi, and the North Side, where there was most pressure was dealt with by the teamwork of the Akimichi Clan, the Jinchuriki and Jiraiya's summonings. Safe to say the enemies are mostly gone-"

"You!" Naruto turned his head questioningly, already knowing who it was by their chakra signatures.

"Yes Temari and Kankuro?" He asked, making the Sand Siblings snarl at him.

"Where's Gaara and what did you do to him?!" Kankuro would demand to know.

"Ohhhhh. Yeah about that." Naruto disappeared and reappeared behind the two, giving them swift neck chops, knocking them clean out before sealing them in the same stasis seal as Gaara.
