S-Rank Naruto

Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, if I did then Naruto would be able to fight his opponents without relying on luck and last second power ups.

Note: This is the sequel to Jiraiya's Intense Training. This story should be able to be read without reading the previous story, however that means that you won't have the explanations for Naruto's abilities. This means that Naruto will be pulling random powers out of nowhere as well as the fact that Naruto has become smarter than cannon at this point. This story will pick up on the day Naruto comes back to Konohagakure.

Chapter 1: Homecoming

Naruto let out a cheer as he and Jiraiya came in sight of Konohagakure's main gate. "I can't wait to show all my friends how awesome I am now. I bet after Baa-chan sees it she'll give me the hat she's so impressed."

"Yeah right gaki. That's about as likely as her agreeing to go on a date with me. Besides you still lose two thirds of our spars, she beats me every time that we fight." Retorted Jiraiya as they checked into the village with the chunin manning the gate.

"That doesn't really count because you won't let me use the Kyuubi's chakra or sage mode in our spars, and if you ever fought Baa-chan you wouldn't even try to hit her."

"Well I don't use sage mode in spars either. You don't pull out your trump cards unless it's a matter of life and death gaki. Although I do agree about Tsunade-hime I wouldn't be able to bring myself to strike a woman of such beauty. Also if I did hit her it would just make her hit me back harder."

"Yeah, I know Ero-senin, the less you use any of your trump cards the less likely anyone will be able to find the weaknesses of it and therefore be able to counter you when you use it. But I do agree with you Baa-chan is extremely dangerous to perverts like you. Fighting back at that point might just be suicidal."

"Hahaha, yeah, if I got her any more annoyed she might stop holding back on her punches. Speaking of Tsunade-hime we should report in to her to fold you back into the main shinobi force."

"I can't say hello to my friends yet?"

"No, always report in first so that you can have the most uninterrupted time for your endeavors before you have to leave the village again, or in your case most likely have your abilities tested so that you can be properly placed for your skill."

"Cool, I get to show everyone how awesome I am, and with the way I am now I'll become jonin for sure."

"Well actually, if your extremely lucky you might be made chunin. You don't have the mission experience to be promoted to jonin or even chunin outside of the chunin exams. Most likely you'll just be an extremely high rated genin. In general people are offered basic skill testing for jonin and chunin after a required number of missions of certain ranks. Outside of that you can be nominated for the chunin exams which are multi-village events held bi-annually, and the jonin exams which are within the village and are held once every two years. The next one for that would be in a year and a half. Seeing as this isn't a challenge exam and you don't have the required missions for the normal way of advancement you probably won't be promoted. However your skill level will be noted so if you reach the required number of missions you may be automatically promoted, or at least you will be recommended to take the next official exams for promotion. In addition, your in village ranking will reflect your true skill and allow you to take higher ranked missions than a normal genin would be able to. The only difference between the official ranks if your village ranking is high enough is what mission levels you will be allowed to lead, as well as the ranks of ninjas you are allowed to lead."

"So your saying that no matter how powerful or smart I prove myself to be in the test that I'll be assigned to determine how well our training went I will still be a genin, but that doesn't really matter beyond advancing in the village hierarchy as well as determining what missions I can be assigned to lead."

"Yeah, pretty much, what do you mean by assigned to lead gaki?"

"Well, I could see some jonin, Kakashi-sensei in particular, allowing me to lead the mission that we are on for experience leading missions. He's officially in charge and can step in for me if I make mistakes, but he would let me give the orders."

"Yeah, I could see that happening, but don't expect that to happen very often. Also, with your skill level, those missions would be the ones that are well below your level." Explained Jiraiya just before they jumped through the window into the hokage's office. "Hey Tsunade-hime, not interrupting anything are we?"

"Not really, Asuma's team is just leaving." Replied Tsunade as she gestured to Asuma, Shikamaru, Ino and Choji.

"Cool, well the gaki and I are reporting in." Said Jiraiya.

"Hey Baa-chan." Crowed Naruto.

"How many times have I told you not to call me that Naruto!?" Yelled Tsunade "Its good to have you back."

"Yeah it was much too quiet without you. Although now that your back everything will start being more troublesome again. Anyway your welcome to meet up with us after your done here." Stated Shikamaru as he and his team left the office.

"Thanks Shikamaru." Replied Naruto "Baa-chan you won't believe how awesome I am now."

"Really? Well I'll leave determining that up to the report Jiraiya will be handing in about your overall training and your progress. As well as an aural report that will be given after I read the written one. Beyond that there will be the skill test that you will partake in tomorrow. Be at training ground seven at noon." Said Tsunade, "Naruto you can leave, Jiraiya stay and give your report."

"Cool, see you tomorrow." Replied Naruto as he left through the window.

"So, how good is he really?" Asked Tsunade.

"Well he can beat me in about a third of our spars and that's without sage mode or the Kyuubi's chakra." Replied Jiraiya.

"Really? Either your losing your touch or he is really impressive."

"He's legitimately a S-class shinobi Hime, and I'm insulted that you could possibly think that I could ever lose my touch. I am the great Jiraiya-sama! Sage of toads, trainer of kage and lover of women. It would be impossible for me of all people to lose their touch. Besides I've already trained one SS-rank shinobi, you don't think I'd have it in me to train at least an S-rank one. Especially with someone with as much raw potential as Naruto to train."

"I get all that you old pervert, but I was more surprised that you could do it so quickly."

"Well, with his ability with shadow clones it is quite simple to condense years of training into a few months. I've probably put in as much training into him as I did Minato at this point. All I really have left to teach him is how to make seals out of pure chakra. Beyond that he has to find his own path to becoming SS-class as I haven't reached that level and I have been training myself for years."

"That actually was a good idea with the clones, though it's not practical for anyone else unfortunately. Now you scram too. I have reports to read, including yours about the kid. You should watch the skill test as well. I'll have read your report by then and we can talk with the examiner afterwards and decide his ranking."

"Cool, see you later Tsunade-hime, I'm off to do my research!"

"Jiraiya!" Yelled Tsunade as she punched him out the window and across the village.

Note: I know this chapter is a bit short. Its more of an introduction to the new story than a true chapter. In this story I'll probably skip most events that don't progress the story in this fanfiction. Next chapter will be the test that Naruto and Sakura get from Kakashi like in cannon.
