Naruto: Space-Time Lord

After everyone was at the arena, in front of the Jounins and Hiruzen, the latter began to think 'Hmm... there's five from Konohagakure: Sasuke Uchiha, Hinata Hyuuga, Shikamaru Nara, Naruto Uzumaki and Shino Aburame, three from Sunagakure: Gaara, Kankuro and Temari, lastly, one from Otogakure: Dosu, though Sakura and Tenten indeed won, gaining the chance to participate at the last stage, they gave up, then, Hiruzen said while looking at the Genins in front of him

''In the third and last stage, you will put your combat abilities to the limit, the power that you got in your respective disciplines, therefore, the last stage will begin in one month'' Kankuro immediately said ''I do not understand what is the purpose of this!''

''To know your enemies, I feel that you need time, you already fought and saw them fighting, you can't use the same old attacks otherwise winning at the last stage is unlikely, this one month will give you time to train and get new attacks, new cards to play at the fight'' Hiruzen said this, paused a bit before continuing

''Each of you will now take a number that will define your opponents'' Then, he signed to Anko, that went to each one of them ''Just pick one number and then, from left to right, say your number''.

Naruto picked 2, Dosu picked 9, Temari picked 8, Shikamaru picked 7, Sasuke picked 5, Hinata picked 3, Shino picked 4, Gaara picked 6 and Kankuro picked 1.

Finally, after explaining more things, they were dismissed.

Kakashi said to Sasuke ''Sasuke, come with me, I need to talk with you'' the latter complied, following his sensei.

They arrived at a Training Field as the white haired man said ''Sasuke, I want to take you as my student, do you accept?''

Sasuke then thought in his mind [Itachi... Naruto, these two are extremely strong, my first goal should be Naruto, as he's probably not a opponent of 'him', Kakashi-sensei is probably a good teacher and can help me to get strong... strong enough to beat Naruto] before saying ''I, Sasuke Uchiha, accept you as my teacher'' and gave Kakashi a bow, in the past six months, his previous cold temperament and actions towards others became much warmer, though it was still cold when it's about his brother, he don't know about Naruto true strength but he view his rival as someone strong enough to be on par with Kakashi. (A/N: I used [ and ] to Sasuke thoughts here to make it less confusing, hope you understand it.)

Meanwhile, at Hokage Office, one could see a rather old man with a red and white, triangle shaped hat with a kanji on it talking with a yellow haired boy that have three whiskers on each side of his cheeks ''Naruto... I already prepared someone to be your teacher, he's a qualified Jounin, enter'' saying this, a man with black glasses entered the room.

'So this is the Nine Tails jinchuuriki, huh? I heard Kakashi Hatake praising his strength but... he doesn't look that strong, not something that the great Jounin that I am can't fix' The man thought in his mind before saying in a straightforward manner ''I'm Ebisu, a jounin designated by Lord Hokage to teach you''

Naruto mind was triggered as he remembered about Ebisu, he's Konohamaru teacher, very serious but then his expression became excited because something clickled on his memories before he said ''Gramps, I don't want to be trained by him at all, let's make a bet, if I can defeat him without even needing to hurt him, can I be free of his training and choose my own teacher?''

Hiruzen immediately know what he is saying as a bit of blood came out from his nose but even so, he accepted, Naruto then got near his ear and said ''Gramps, close your eyes otherwise you will faint from blood loss''

The old Hokage was curious about it but still closed his eyes, after all, he would lose too much face if he fainted in front of a subordinate, Ebisu was also angry at Naruto insolence but before he could say anything, he heard Naruto saying ''Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!''

Six shadow clones were created before Naruto main body said in a low voice ''Secret Technique: Harem no Jutsu'' the shadow clones then transformed into extremely hot ladies, the great and serious Jounin nose had blood coming out of it endlessly, soon, he fainted from blood loss.

''Open your eyes to this great and strong future Hokage, Gramps!'' Doing so, Hiruzen saw Ebisu fainted with a smile of satisfaction, only perverts would understand another pervert so the old Hokage nodded in agreement.

*Sigh..* ''Naruto, do as you want, just... find a suitable teacher for youserlf'' Hiruzen said with a helpless expression, the yellow haired boy immediately became happy as he went to the hot springs location.

'Ero-sennin, we will finally meet again' Naruto thought as he began to run faster.
