Smaugtheterrible: Nope. That's fine. Loving her is all the fun.

Guip2003: ... you don't understand Yandere's, do you?

Mr. unknow: ... YF is the expert on Naruto and he didn't point it out. Oops.

MidnightRE: Because you DON'T ADD YANDERE'S TO A HAREM! THEY ARE MURDERY! THAT'S THE POINT!

Korin Dragoon: That's the point, I need to look into that.

Biowind: We have plans.

Naruto: The Fox Sage

Chapter 12: Chunin Exam Final Round Part One


Naruto stood in the forest, looking at the night sky. "Alright, it's time to get the real training started." He commented, going through several hand seals before slamming his hand on the ground and vanished in a poof of smoke.

The leafs of the forest rustled, the sky dark as Konoha slept


*Somewhere else*

Naruto appeared in a large puff of smoke, deep in the Mugeinomori Forest
Home of the Fox Summons "Naruto, my boy. It has been too long." the strong booming voice of Kumsha, the mother and leader of the Foxes, said with a loving smile walking over and leaning down with Naruto giving her snout a hug.

"Hey mum, it's great to see you again." He smiled softly

"Hmmm." she sniffed and laughed gently "Oh wow. You have gathered several mates my kit, you have grown."

He chuckled with a blush before seeing numerous other foxes come walking or running over from the bushes "Big brother! Big brother!" they cheered before Naruto got tackled and wound up buried under a crowd of small foxes.

"Aaah! No! Can't breathe!" he yelled over dramatically with a smile while a few licked his face as he rubbed a few on the back "Come on! Get off!" he laughed playfully as he tried sitting up with a few staying on him and shook their heads.

"Nuh uh!"

"Back of kids, give him some air." an older fox joked, pushing a bunch of them off Naruto with his nose much to their annoyance while Naruto chuckled.

"It's great to see you all again." Naruto laughed a bit, sitting up

"We missed you, you little brat." a large fire fox smirked

"Yeah, course I figured you'd actually have less chubby cheeks." remarked a smaller one with a snicker.

"Hey! I'm not fat!" he huffed making a few of his sisters giggle while he crossed his arms.

"Relax, you still look adorable with them."

"Now, son, it is time." Kumsha said simply "The next stage of the fox style."

"I know, that's why I'm ready for anything, no matter how tough it is." Naruto said passionately, punching his hand "I have some important people to protect."

"Very well, then it shall be done." Kumsha nodded, a smirk appearing on her face


*time skip*

It was finally time for the final round of the Chunin Exam with people flocking to the stadium in groves, all excited and eager. Konoha was flourishing, the tourism this event was pulling in would help the city got years to come while people from all over were eager to see the big fights, even though ones from different villages tended to be on guard. It was the event of the year and everyone was excited. We zoom into the large arena set up for this exam, large and grand with people filling in the stands, mostly civilians with Chunin of the leaf on guard at entrances. We find most of the Genin of the Leaf together in a big group box with Ino looking down at the stadium in concern since Naruto wasn't there but the other competitors were.

"Where's Naruto?" Ino asked in worry, the contestants standing in the middle of the arena

"Maybe he's running late." suggested Choji, currently snacking on his fifth bag of chips.

"WILL YOU PUT THOSE DOWN FOR TWO SECONDS!" Ino snapped, concern for her fellow blonde evident as she hugged a small fox

"Ino, its okay. Naruto will be fine." Hinata assured patting her back while looking down at the arena. "He's probably getting everything ready and doesn't want to come up short."

"And wants to show off." Kiba scoffed making the fox Ino held snicker.

"Someone's jealous, mutt." Said fox mocked

"Shut it, brat!" he snarled with Akamaru staying out of this as the fox snickered.

"Or what? You're gonna try and gnaw on me? I've eaten bigger rabbits than you for breakfast."

"I... I think that-that is e-enough." Hinata warned the fox and Kiba softly, still a bit shy

"She's right, no fighting." frowned Ino sternly.

"Whatever." Kiba huffed crossing his arms with the fox snickering.

Down in the arena, Temari was looking around in concern 'Where are you Naruto-kun?'

"Worried about your boyfriend?" Kankuro mocked making her glare.

"Say one more word and I'll make sure you'll be eating that doll." Temari stated simply

"Temari, Kankuro. Shut up." Gaara stated simply without missing a beat. "We won't get distracted, for anything."

"Yes Gaara." both muttered with Temari inwardly feeling knots. 'I hope Naruto-kun makes it in time.'

Up high was the Kage box, where Saratobi was sitting while beside him sat a figure in robes like his own, but had blue instead of red "Ah, Kazekage. It seems your children are rather lively." Saratobi smiled

"Yes, they've always been such a lively bunch since they were young." The blue dressed leader nodded with the proctor in the stadium checking his watch.

'Very good disguise work, my student.' Saratobi thought 'But thanks to Naruto's warnings I have subtly upped security and have been paying more attention. Orochimaru, this will not go how you expected my boy.'

'The old fool will fall today just like the village.' the make Kazekage thought

"If Naruto Uzumaki doesn't show up in the next few minutes, he'll be disqualified."

Poof

"Ha. I knew it." Naruto commented, appearing out of smoke standing on a giant rock with 'I TOLD YOU SO' written on the rock in bright neon green

The proctor and the audience were caught off guard with Temari smiling with relief.

"You owe me so much money, you pervert!" Naruto called dramatically, jumping off the stone while giving a pose. "No way was I gonna end up late before I had a chance to kick ass."

"What are you talking about Naurto?" Temari asked, being the only one confident to ask

"My sensei was sure they'd wait until all contestants where here to start and would wait as long as necessary. I said otherwise and that they'd only wait for someone like an Uchiha. I won." he commented while puffing out his chest before walking over to stand in line. "So, if there's no one else not here, can we get started?"

"How troublesome." Shikamaru muttered shaking his head as the proctor cleared his throat.

"Happy your boyfriends here?" Konkarou mocked lightly to his sister who elbowed him with a frown.

"Oh stuff it." Temari glared and blushed

"You have a boyfriend?" Naruto whispered to her in shock and confusion making her blush harder.

"N-No! It's not like that!" Temari assured, waving her hands a bit with Naruto raising an eyebrow while Kurama laughed.

"Now for the first round, Naruto Uzumaki Vs Neiji Hyuuga!" the proctor called with the blond smirking with Neji looking unfazed with the other combatants making their way out of the arena before the two turned to face each other.

"Good luck." Temari mumbled with a blush while Naruto cracked his knuckles.

"I won't need luck to kick this bastard's ass Temari-chan." Naruto punched his hands

"You better not." Haku said, kissing him as she passed. She knew that Naruto hadn't been paying attention just now but since he arrived so late they moved his fight first just to get it out the way while hers against Gaara would be the last of the first round

"Luck will not help you." spoke Neji with a smirk. "It's fate that you fall by my hands on this day."

"I just said I don't need luck." Naruto commented, his eyes narrowing "After all, a fate worshiping potential family murderer isn't a challenge to me." Neji hardened his gaze as the proctor raised his hand up.

"Ready...begin!"

"Summoning Jutsu!" Naruto called without hesitation, charging forward like a golden yellow missile with Neji getting into his stance.

'The fool hasn't learned a thing. Summoning won't change fate.' he thought... Only for the floor to suddenly give out under his feet "What?!" he gasped, the ground collapsing under his feet as two brown foxes emerged from the ground

"Gotcha!" Naruto called, slamming his fist into Neji's face making him reel back with pain as the foxes snickered and dug right back into the ground and surprising Tenten in the stands.

"What?!" she blinked and gasped

"Never seen Naruto use Earth foxes before." Sakura gasped from the stands, grinning

"They must be tunneling underground, where Neiji can't see them. Not that he had been expecting them." Haku smiled

Neji managed to get his footing and glare at Naruto with a scowl who smirked.

"What's wrong? Mad you didn't get the first shot in? I'll be a nice sport and give you a free shot then." Naruto mocked as he jumped from foot to foot, rotating his arms and shaking his limbs loose

"One punch doesn't mean you've won fool." Neji snapped lightly

"No, just means you suck." Naruto said casually making Neji get more mad before the Hyuga ran at him and pulled a kunai out before chucking it at him.

'Go ahead and dodge that you foolish boy.'

'Gotcha.' Naruto smirked as he suddenly disappeared, the Earth foxes having pulled him into the ground before the kunai struck

"Not this time." Neji focused chakra to his eyes before veins appeared around the sides as his Byakugan activated and looked at the ground.

"Neji has activated his Byakugan! He's invincible now!" TenTen grinned while Neji spotted three chakra signatures under the ground with one moving under him.

"Hi!" a cheerful young voice said from next to him, Neji able to see another chakra signature right next to him. He turned his head and saw a young fox kit above the ground, catching him off guard since he didn't hear or notice it till now. It was a green and yellow one with two waving tails, the fox looking adorable

"Huh?" he blinked gently

"Shine!" she cheered and suddenly it began glow, glow brighter and brighter and brighter, with Chakra. Basically becoming a small sun not too far from Neji's eyes, making him yell in pain as he was temporarily blinded

He covered his eyes and growled in anger before the two earth foxes burst from the ground and bite down on both his legs. "AHH! Get off you damn rats!"

BOOM!

"And now you've pissed me off even more." Naruto said as he burst out of the ground, preforming a quick and powerful knee strike to Neji's nose before he grabbed Neji's face and slammed the back of his head into the ground before he brought his leg up and slammed the foot into his gut, knocking the air out of him and shocking everyone watching. Neji coughed out some spit and blood before he saw an opening and slammed a punch into Naruto's own stomach making the blond reel back and stumble before the Hyuuga swung his arms down and knocked the earth foxes from his legs and looking pissed "You insulted my family. You tried to kill your own. You're scum." Naruto frowned, the green/yellow fox running over and hiding behind his ankle scared when he managed to regain himself.

"And you're nothing but a coward to rely on insignificant little vermin to do your fighting for you. That's why this time, I won't show mercy." he frowned before getting into his stance.

"... Okay... Okay... Okay. Okay." Naruto sighed "Fine. I won't be playing around anymore." he said, dead seriously before he took his own stance which most of the people in the stands didn't recognize and figured he was trying to bluff.

"Naruto." Hinata whispered sadly while holding her hands together while Haku patted her on the back.

"He'll be alright, he trained hard for this." Haku nodded

Stones crunched softly under Naruto's heel as he ground his foot into the floor, shifting his balance but not yet striking... Until Neiji started moving his arm, going from zero to sprinting in less than a second 'Your technique won't get by what I have in store for you.' Naruto thought with a smirk, simply sliding under the strike Neji was throwing and striking his shoulder with Neji momentarily surprised before moving his other hand towards Narutos side. Naruto caught his wrist and moved it back, using Neji's own hand to break his nose

"Ahh!" he cried out in pain before finding a foot slammed into his gut again.

Naruto moved back again, jumping around and shaking his body loose once more "Come on Neji, this isn't even fun." Naruto obviously mocked. Nejo rubbed the blood away and lunged again. Naruto's body was limp, simply bobbing and weaving to dodge every strike with the crowd confused.

"Hey, what's the big idea? Finish him!"

"Get rid of that demon brat!"

"Go Neji!"

Naruto growled and tripped Neji, kicking him in the chest and making him stumble back with the smaller fox behind him yipping in joy.

"Go big bro! Go!"

"You can do it!"

"Stand up and beat his ass!"

"Go Naruto, go big bro! You're strong!"

"Take that bully down!"

"We love you, bro!"

"How could you do it?" Naruto asked simply, standing tall with a soft smile from his siblings cheering

"Do what?" Neji snarled as he pulled himself up, his body stiff and painful

"Hinata." Naruto frowned "She is your cousin. Your family. But you tried to kill her. Why?"

"The things that happen in our family is none of your business."

"YOU TRIED TO KILL HER!" Naruto roared "SHE CARES ABOUT YOU! WHY?!"

"Because she is the reason for this!" he yelled before reaching to his headband and started untying it. The audience gasped, seeing the symbol carved into his face with Naruto confused and Hinata herself covering her mouth.

"What's that?" he asked

"This is the birdcage seal, put on those of the branch family of the Hyuuga clan." Neji explained "It is a SLAVE seal!" Naruto's eyes widened with Hinata feeling guilty. He stayed silent, listening to Neji's story "This seal is put on all branch members and is used to seal the byakugsn when we die to keep it from falling into the wrong hands." Neji explained, his fist clenched with blood dripping down to the floor from how tightly he was squeezing "She knew what she would have to endure when she became a shinobi, so getting upset over me showing her what it means is nothing short of immature and petty."

"You had won that fight." Naruto whispered "You had won that fight. And you know Hinata, she looks up to you. You know she'd never hurt a fly let alone you, unless it was a mission. But you still tried to kill her. And why? Because of some 'fate' bullshit you use as an excuse for why everything doesn't go your way? "

"Was it bullshit when my father was killed because of this seal?" he narrowed his eyes. "Because he disobeyed his own brother, her father."

The audience gasped at that, the civilians feeling like they were being let in on the biggest secret ever with Haku seeing Hinata look even more guilty and tried hugging her. "It's alright Hinata, it's not your fault."

"I want to get rid of it." Hinata mumbled while close to tears as Neji put his headband back on.

Naruto had his head lowered, his hair shielding his eyes from the light

"That is why she failed, because she was too gentle and kind to lead the life of a shinobi, I merely showed no mercy, just as I will to you." Neji said heartlessly as he walked towards Naruto, believing he had surrendered with the smaller fox behind Naruto concerned.

"Big bro?" the small fox asked lightly

"What kind... Of self-righteous... Backwards... NONSENSE ARE YOU SAYING TO JUSTIFY YOUR PRETENTIOUS SELFISHNESS!" Naruto snapped in anger, his eyes flashing to those of his tenant for a second with his tone making several people get a chill down their spine. "She is your FAMILY! If she is 'too soft' for the life of a Shinobi, then why haven't you HELPED her be ready for it before she graduated OR before the exam?! You had time! And showing no mercy?! Yes being a Shinobi INVOLVES killing but that's not all! And sometimes bringing your enemy in alive has more rewards than killing them!" Naruto roared "I'm not even saying you're wrong about us having to kill sometimes, but you sound like a psychopath with how you said that! And you are just using that and your destiny BS to excuse yourself on taking your anger out on everyone else! To talk down to people! Well, time for me to teach you some manners." he growled while holding one hand out and brought a clone out who began to move his hands over his outstretched one quickly and fast.

"What's he doing?" Haku asked with confusion as a small glowing ball of swirling chakra started to appear in his hand.

"You wanna talk about fate? Well here's what I say, fate is just an excuse for people who are too scared to make their destinies their owns. That's why here and now, I'm gonna shatter your belief that's my fate to lose here."

"Whatever you're planning won't work on my technique." Neji commented

"Really? Show me." Naruto grinned as he knelt down. As he did so shadow's covered his entire face, shielding a small transformation
Neji went into a stance like before, but this time everything around him became black with a glowing green hue under him as a large yin and yang symbol appeared with numerous letters appeared on rings around it before he took off running at Naruto. However as he charged Naruto was already on him, the glowing orb of chakra slammed into his stomach making his eyes widen at the sudden force exerted on him and suddenly saw the word go spinning as he was propelled back across the arena and slammed into the wall with a crash.
Naruto stood there for several seconds, his face visible once more giving a small glimpse at blue markings that retreated from his face as he panted
"Ragengan." he said calmly and simply

The arena had fallen to silence with the civilians stunned the demon brat defeated a Hyuuga prodigy with Haku smiling, along with numerous other girls "Naruto..." Hinata whispered in wonder with a blush

'Kyaaaa! Naruto-kun did it!' Sakura inwardly squealed while biting her lip to try and keep from breaking the silence.

"Procter? You gonna make the call?" Naruto asked, breaking the silence

"Oh, right." he nodded before going over to Neji to check his pulse, found it was still there, and raised his hand up. "The winner of the first round of the chunin exams is Naruto Uzumaki!"

"Alright!" Naruto fist pumped

"Very well done Naruto." Saratobi said to himself in the Hokage box, smiling with the 'kazekage' narrowing his eyes.

'That brat, did he learn that from Jiraiya? He's going to be a bigger thorn in my side if he survives my plan.' Orochimaru thought angrily, and there was something odd about Naruto during those last few moments, almost like he had changed in more ways than one then just learning that jutsu. Like he had learned something ELSE. Like he hadn't just learned the Rasengan

Temari herself let out a relieved sigh to herself, which Kankuro noticed.

"That kid." Kurotsuchi commented from the stands, covered in some dirt from the Forest of Death with her gaze focused on him. "He might be trouble later on."... She gained a small smile and laughed "At least it'd be fun fight when I smash his face into the dirt. He's cute but that won't hold me back."

"Don't forget out job Temari." Konkarou reminded

"I know." she glared while Gaara was silent, but inwardly was conflicted, which Shukaku noticed.

"Oh? Full of confidence now, brat, after you needed that big bad nine tails to back you up?" the Tenuki hissed "Just wait until we leave this shit hole."

'Be quiet and just be ready to do your job.' Gaara thought back, feeling confident while Naruto headed up to the stands while Tenten herself was blown away.

"Hey guys." he waved before standing next to them. "Amazed at my new move?"

"Yeah. Very." Ino giggled and hugged his arm making Temari frown. "I knew you would win."

"Exactly, my sexy student!" Anko laughed proudly as she suddenly appeared behind Naruto and hugged him, pulling his face between her breasts

He chuckled and hugged her with the girls feeling irked, just slightly. "Wow, you actually came to watch me."

"Of course I did baby, you'd think I'd miss out?" Anko purred softly and hugged him back

"Not really, but you sure seem like you just showed up, is dango really more important than me?" he asked with a mock pout.

"I've been here the whole time." she smiled "Waiting to surprise you."

"Well consider me not that surprised, your form of greeting is expected." he chuckled making her huff. "Might wanna change things up."

"Well I could do it naked next time if your prefer?" she smirked which irked the girls even more at the image.

"That's enough!" Temari snapped making Anko turn with a frown.

"What's your problem?" Anko frowned

"You're making a scene and it's disgusting." Temari lied, blushing and looking away with a huff "We don't want to hear about your sick fetishes."

"Oh really now? Well I'd say Naruto-kun here wouldn't mind listening to what I'm into, isn't that right?" she asked with a smirk, trying to keep from bursting out laughing.

"Anko, stop teasing them." he sighed before breaking the hug as he walked over to Hinata. "I wasn't too tough on him, that alright with you Hinata-chan?"

Hinata nodded with teary eyes and kissed him making him kiss back and hug her while rubbing her back to help calm her down "Everything is okay." she assured gently with Haku rubbing her back too.
