Naruto: Neglected dragon heir.

Chapter Six: Test

Konoha was a buzz with gossip, and Arashi's actions in the council room spread like wildfire.

Arashi was unbothered by the many stares he received while walking in the streets of the village.

Kiri did not even raise a brow, Arashi had explained everything to him when he came home last night. "That was anti-climatic." Arashi chuckled in the crook of Kiri's neck.

Asuma sat on the window sill at his lover's house, he played with his lighter as he thought about Arashi.

"Just who are you Ryū Arashi?" He mumbled. His lover lay asleep on her bed still, his mind raced with thoughts.

He was asked late last night to test out Ryū Arashi on his Ninjutsu, Asuma was impressed already that Arashi knew the shadow clone jutsu, it was a forbidden jutsu in Konoha.

'Why did he spare Lady Tsunade and me from his KI and bloodlust?' He had picked up on that detail, "Ausma? Why are you awake so early?

His lover called sleepy from her bed, he looked over to her giving her a gentle smile.

Arashi and Kiri were led to the arena, to test the skill they possessed as a ninja and to determine their rank.

The large arena was an open plain design, several people sat in the stands to watch the newcomers, this included the clan heads and the two elders.

Minato sat in the Kage box, with Kushina and their thirteen-year-old children Menma and Mito.

Sasuke leaned against a column near the end of the stands. Arashi had noticed this, he chose not to look at him.

"Please wait here amount Ryū-sama's
the Hokage will announce who will fight who." The anbu in a cat mask bowed.

"Thank you Anbu-san you may return." Arashi bowed in return watching her vanish.

"Kiri." Kiri glanced at Arashi, "Hmmm?"

"Do well and end the test in five minutes, and I will give you a reward tonight." Arashi purred.

Kiri faced Arashi, "Really?!" his eyes sparkled, and Arashi patted his head. "Yes, do well alright."

Arashi flickered into the stands next to Tsunade, "Why does he look happy Arashi?"

"Hmmm, oh I promised a reward if he ends the fight in five minutes and does well. His father put us through hell training."

Tsunade smirked, "I already like the man." Arashi smiled. 'You two will get along great granny.'

Three people walked out into the arena. Might Guy, Hayate Gekkō, and Shikaku Nara.

"Lord Hokage!" Kiri called out, "May I fight all three at the same time please?" Kiri chirped, Arashi mentally slapped himself. 'Why does one have to act like a child sometimes?

"Uh-Sure, if you're sure?" Minato voiced unsure how to react. Arashi sighed loudly.

"Something wrong?" Tsunade raised a brow.

"Yes, he is older than me and he acts like a child at times." Arashi turned his attention back to the field.

"I'm sure Lord Hokage." His personality changed quickly not acting as a child but as a serious fighter.

"There toast granny." Arashi grinned, Tsunade did not look convinced but said nothing.

"Fighters ready!" They all took their stances, and Minato received nods from all of them. "Fight!" His hand came down in a slicing motion.

Kiri jumped back, weaving fast hand signs. "Shadow clone jutsu!" He made two shadow clones and charge at the three before him.

For Hayate, he took out his short sword, and Hayate pulled out his own Katana, the two clashed at great speeds.
