This chapter is dark I had a hard time wrighting this in all truth but it just kind of came out that way and I feel it is an important point in the hole of the story. Please read and review and if this hits close to home I know how you feel.
The end of the dark stuff will be marked with bold underline if you want to skip it scroll down to there thank you. Dark stuff starts at the start of the chapter.
It was after midnight, Naruto had just left Ino's and was walking to his apartment. He stayed there most night's even though he had a room at his parents home, he still stayed in his own apartment because it just felt right he had felt safe there. And a part of him knew he would always feel most at home there.
"Hay there he is the fucking Demon." This snapped Naruto out of his thoughts the smile on his face disappeared as his attention Narrowed in on the culprit and his friends it was the three boys from the night his team returned from their mission with Six others one of witch Naruto knew all too well a man that haunted his dreams and to this day kept him awake at night. Naruto even now felt powerless under his cold black eyes but he would not let this show not now. He had grown older but he was still the same hiding behind others that wanted to do him harm he would wait until they were done with him then get his own 'kicks' no not this time.
"What did you call me?" He asked coldly.
"Demon, Demon."
"So you insult me, spit in the Thirds Face and On the fourths grave I'll tell you what though I'm in a really good mood. So I will let it slide If you walk away now."
"You don't deserve to even think about the fourth you're the one that killed him you peace of trash." One spat.
"I'll tell you what for even mentioning the fourth with your demon lips after we are done with you we are going to go find that little Yamanaka whore of yours and fuck her up as well. Isn't that right dad?" The leader spat. Looking back at Naruto's worst fears.
Naruto's mind went white as the man looked at him he could see in their eyes what they meant to do to Ino what the one wanted to do to him again and then to her just because he thought he could Naruto snapped everything around him became clear as day. "Boy you just fucked up." Naruto said in a low vice. "RUN" he said but didn't give them the chance. He disappeared. His heel dropping onto the leaders head and smashing it into the ground before he even landed two Rasengans smashed into the leaders friends sending them spiraling into the building behind them with a sickening crunch they weren't Ninja they didn't have the same resilience. His Nightmare had that same sick grin still plastered on his face as he brought down a butcher's knife at Naruto's shoulder not caring that the other three were already down Naruto moved out of the way of the cowered all fear of the man gone. A kuni appeared in his hand. He took the weapon away along with the man's hand then flipped the blade and drove it down right into the man's pelvis taking his second weapon away hopefully forever.
The other civilians started running hearing the man's pleas for help and cries of pain Naruto relished them. He looked up at the fleeing mites. That where calling for mercy. "To late." Naruto spat he created Five clones that gave chase as the worm that he had once begged and pleaded to now cried and begged for his mercy as he used his one good hand and his legs to try push himself away fear gripped him as Naruto slowly crept forward but lucky for the man a shadow moving over head caught Naruto's eye then a second giving chase more worthy pray. Naruto gave chase once in pursuit he could make out the shadow's he took out three Kuni and threw them they missed but got the mans attention he created a clone and they split up Naruto let lose a sneer as he created Six clones that gave chase he wanted a fight but if a Konoha shinobi was in trouble he would take top priority Naruto soon Caught up to the lead man Hyati from the prelims was hacking Naruto could see blood on the man's lips as he asked.
"Where does your loyalty lie?"
"With the will of fire." Naruto quickly replied.
Hyatt visibly relaxed. "Hokage 'cough' needs to" he went into a coughing fit trying to speak.
"Save your strength I'll get you there." Naruto said,
he created ten clones that picked up and Carried Hyatt to the Hokages office and surrounded the man for defense. Naruto was the first through the double door with his clones carrying Hyatt seconds behind.
"Naruto!?" Hyatt?" Hawk shouted when he layed eyes on them.
"He needs to see the Hokage now." Naruto said his clones setting the man on the couch.
"Boar go get Hokage sama." Hawk yield.
"I'll get Atoshi." Naruto said running out his legs just weren't moving fast enough no matter how hard he pushed it felt like he was in slow motion he didn't have a clone that he could switch with but he had something else he reached out and felt the light pull of his marker for the first time flash he stumbled as his feet hit the floor of his room in his parents home. "Dad Dad." He cried as he raced out of his bedroom and pounded on the door. "They need you at the Hokage's office now." He pounded harder and soon a yellow flash was seen under the door for the first time. Naruto relaxed.
His mind cleared he fell back against the wall sliding slowly to the ground. The things that he had done slowly crept into every corner of his mind in vivid gory details. Questions filed his mind every move he made was being second guessed third and fourth what had he done why had he done it?.
His mother soon came out dressed in her white robe. "Naruto what happened." He was crying looking at his bloody hands.
"I… I killed them…. I just got so mad everything went white and became so clear I knew exactly what to do. the boy I kicked him so hard that his head split open on the ground, he was just barely older than me. His two friends I put Rasengans into their chests, they were dead before they hit the wall and … I was happy about it, no... I enjoyed it. then he... that man came at me with a knife I took his hand then I made sure he could never hurt anyone like that again I wanted him to suffer I wanted him to know the pain he caused, I wanted him to live with the constant fear so I could see it in his eyes and I could, And I loved every second of it the terror he felt the power I felt the clarity.
"I killed them with these hands. These hands. They were scared and I liked it."
"Why?" His mother asked
"I… I don't know…" He started sobbing
"Coldrage." Kushina Whispered to herself more than Naruto. "Don't think about it Naruto please just think about Ino tell me what happened with Ino."
"Ino? They couldn't hurt her, they wouldn't be able to touch her."
"No Baby no don't think about them."
"I can still see the look on his face as my heel dropped on his head surprise pain then the way his brains lacked out on the stone his friends they didn't know what happened when the Rasengans hit I could hear every bone in their chests brake I could hear there last breath being forced from their lungs as they were turned to past. their eyes showed the fear I liked it' I relished it… they are right I am a demon."
"No suchi no your not pleas suchi please tell me what Happened with Ino I want to hear more about that please… please."
"I'm a monster, I am what they feared exactly what they said I was."
"No you're just a boy Naruto my son my prince." Kushina said. "They deserve what happened to them. They did it to themselves, please see that please."
"No one deserves that they were just scared and they were right to be I knew it all my life I knew it I can always feel that anger right there at the back of my mind it's still there I can feel it so clearly now but it's sleeping it's the real me. I enjoyed it. There pain I liked it." He was no longer crying, no tears left his eyes he spoke softly with no emotion in his voice.
"Kami, where are you Minato? I need you, your boy needs you." Kushina cried holding her son to her. "please please stop."
He wouldn't have just sat there motionless in his mother's arms staring at his hands drowning on and on about the things that he and his clones had done in excruciating detail.
Atoshi came in at a little past four to find Kushina crying holding a still bloody handed Naruto who was speaking quietly.
"Naruto Kushina what's Going on?" Minato asked.
"Minato I… I thank its Co…coldrage." Kushina cried.
"Oh Kami please no." he said moving to Naruto's side and picking him up never had he seen Naruto look so weak and frail as he whispered non stop about blood and pain demons and monsters.
"Kushina. Go get Lais meet at the hospital, go now and use the transformation."
"But but."
"Now Kushina." He cried turning into Atoshi. Vanishing in leaves and smoke.
She took a deep breath and followed suit even with the shunshin the trip took way too long for her she pounded on the Yamanaka's door screaming for Lais why wouldn't the damn thing just brake already. Why did the door have to be so strong why did she feel so weak?
The door finally opened to reveal Lais. "What's going on, who are you?" Lais asked confused Inoichi and Ino stood right behind her But Nishina played them no mind.
"Naruto Cold rage Hospital." She said, grabbing the woman then Carrying her off bridal style.
"Oh dear Kami." Inoichi said worry. Taking off after the women, Ino following right behind, their door was left completely open.
Kushina deposited Lais at the front desk
"Where is Uzumaki Naruto?" she asked.
"Room three o one." The receptionist replied Immediately.
"That monster killed my son he took my hhad an…" he didn't have time to Finnish when Kushina laid eyes on him she lost the last of her already weak control her transformation dropped as she ripped the man from his wheelchair and threw him against the wall pinning him is feet off the ground
"You fucking monster." She yelled in his face.
"Please mama he's still hurt." A nurse tried to say but Kushina threw her to the ground with one arm.
"You're the one you're the fucking one that did that to him you disgusting fifthly pig you raped my boy you fucking Rapped my son and you have the guile to call him a monster. he was Five years old Five fucking years old. You fucking slime."
Everything in the room stopped. As the red haired women's words set in as she pounded him mercilessly against the wall.
"You cri about your son that threatened to rap his friend he deserved worse he died to fucking fast that's right I hade to listen to every fucking gory detail every little regret for three fucking hours every thing that my boy did and it wasn't enough." Kushina didn't care anymore. She was done with the lies, hiding it all. She wanted to see the look in the man's eyes as he finally learned the truth.
"You raped you tormented my son Minato's son." she whispered just loud enough for him to hear.
"Minato should have let this hole village fucking burn." She threw him across the room when not even a hint of regret passed his eyes.
"Anbu please Secure the building." Hiruzen's calm voice came crystal clear. Over the dead silence. "And take that thing to a holding cell." He said looking at the now passed out monster. "Keep him alive for now. No one is to go near him but me."
Kushina was on her knees crying. Ino tried to move in close but. The red Haired women lashed out. "Don't touch me. Don't you dare touch me." She raged.
"Kushina, it's me, it's Ino." She said slowly, putting a hand on Kushina's shoulder.
She was wrapped in a hug and gripped the other women back just as tightly.
"They did it Ino they finally did it they really hurt him… they… they killed him." She cried into the younger girl's shoulder.
Ino's whole body went stiff, what could that mean Naruto couldn't be dead, her mother was in with him talking to him.
End of the really dark stuff see wasn't so bad was it but I know even though I put this under M someone who is reading this would still not want to read that stuff
"I… I couldn't pull him back, I couldn't bring my boy back to me Ino. He's gone…. He said he was a monster, a demon."
"I don't understand why what happened?" Ino asked the Naruto she knew would never thank that. he knew who he was and what lines could never be crossed where to draw the line.
"Cold Rage." Inoichi said, sitting down next to them. "It's almost like a blood line but when and where it activates no one can know. Only one person has ever lived passed the first use of it."
"Who?" Ino asked, frightened.
"Senju Tobirama. The first time he used it, it's said he didn't eat or sleep for three weeks no one knows what finally snapped him out of it."
"Was there anyone else?" Ino asked
"Your uncle didn't move, all he could talk about was what happened. when they got him back he wouldn't or couldn't understand what he had done was the right thing at the time. The guilt overwhelmed him. then he went silent just staring at the wall a week later he died. Its like the Mind his bombarded with self doubt until it just shuts down.
"Oh Kami no." Ino whispered.
"Kushina chan." Hiruzen's voice whispered. "Come let's get you to your husband." He pulled her to her feet and walked her down the hall. Ino never left their side even as she sat down next to her Husband.
"It was that monster." Kushina whispered
"I know... I know." He said looking at the door
"Ho… Hokage sama." Ino whispered.
"Yes Ino chan?" He said from besides her.
"Sensei… Shika they need to know."
"I will have Anbu get them here as soon as Kushina pulls herself together."
"No, she's right," Minato said. "Naruto trusts Shikamaru and he is a smart kid."
"Alright Hawk bring them both." Hiruzens called
"He's strong, he can pull through this."
"He had better." Minato said. "Or Kyuubi will be the least of their problems."
"I'll burn this town to ash." Kushina said darkly and no one, not even the Kage's in the room would stop her, they would all be helping.
Tsunade soon went into the room only to come out a few minutes later. To Join them.
Asuma and Shikamaru soon showed up Asuma filled Shikamaru in on what the cold rage was before they Joined the group sitting on the floor Across from Naruto's room it was nearly eleven when Lais walked out of the room her eye's were red and puffy.
"It's bad I can't get through to him he won't stop calling himself a monster and even has gone so far as to say the Kyuubi isn't as cruel as he is he won't stop talking about what he did at this rate I don't know what to do we have to try and get him to talk about it well remembering why he did but at this point all I get is I'm a monster."
"Oh Kami that bad already?" Hiruzen asked. Last time it took three days to get to that point. Then five days latter he stopped talking seven days after that Hiruzens didn't even want to talk about it.
"We should stay with him in shifts." Tsunada said. "We already hooked up his IV and myself or Shizune will be the ones to change them out."
"I'll stay first." Ino said.
"No Ino I will." Shikamaru said. "Go home and eat and come back at three."
"Alright I'll be here at six." Asuma said.
"We will stay the night." Minato said, squeezing Kushina's hand.
"Then I will be here at six." Hiruzens said. "To hell with favoritism."
"We can figure the rest out later." Minato added "Come on let's get you home."
Shikamaru took a deep breath then walked in the room he didn't know what to expect but this was not it Naruto's eyes had turned a shade of gray and lost the life that was so strong in them his hole body was lifeless and numb his face was hollow and lacking even a glimmer of a smile.
"Hay buddy what's up." He said pulling up a seat
"Shika? You should be out watching the clouds no need to trouble yourself with a monster like me." His voice was lifeless and mellow drained of any emotions
Shikamaru then spoke words that he never thought that he would say. "It's no trouble at all besides the clouds will be there later." Kami... even saying that felt sacrilegious to the Nara. "So Naruto what happened?"
This was Shikamaru's big mistake as Naruto dove into every bloody gory detail Shikamaru knew that he was leaving out important facts but when he would try to get why the only answer would be I'm a demon or monster.
When Ino walked into the hospital Kiba, Shino and Sakura were waiting in the front waiting area.
"How is he?" Shino asked .
"From what I have been told, it is not good." Ino shook her head.
"Can we see him?" Sakura asked.
"No, the Hokage has restricted the visitor list to his team, my parents and a few Junnin."
"Well tell him to get better. I didn't lose to him. Just so he could flake out of the finals." Kiba said
"Yeah maybe that will snap him out of it." Ino fake smiled.
"Ino." Sakura said softly. "What's wrong the doctors won't say.
"It's bad guilt Is overwhelming his mind to the point it's all he has it… could kill him." No point sugar coating it.
"Guilt? For what?" Kiba asked.
"All mom got out of him was he killed three Maimed one and injured and somewhat tortured five others."
"Oh man that bad?" Kiba asked . "I mean that doesn't sound like Naruto at all. "They must have done something to him."
"I can't say. I got to go relieve Shikamaru." She said turning to walk down the hall
Ino walked in. She had been warned about how bad Naruto looked by her mother. Her father had asked to take her shift but Ino wanted no needed to be there the same as Shikamaru and Asuma had to be there; they all knew he would do the same for them.
"Naruto I got to go. To training with dad but I'll be back alright?" Shikamaru said
"Don't bother you should stay far away from me." He said looking away.
She followed a green Shikamaru out the door. "It's not him Ino he is not even there."
"Mom told me you okay?" she asked putting a hand on his shoulder
"No… I have done thing's, seen things but it's like he is seeing things that he did in such detail what he felt at seeing those things but I can't get him to say why."
"I'll try to go on Shika and thanks."
"Thank me once he is back." Shikamaru said. moving down the hall.
Ino went back in the room plastering on her best fake smile. "Alright whiskers talk to me I want answers and I want them now first Who." A question she did know the answer too.
"it doesn't matter if they're dead I killed them I wanted to see them in pain I didn't care how."
Oh Kami this was going to be a long three hours.
By day two all Naruto would say was I'm a demon I killed them I'm a monster. Over and over. By Sunday day four he had completely shut down and just stared at the wall. He wouldn't eat or sleep. IV was the only nourishment his body had even the Kyuubi came in and tried to snap him out of it then dispels itself to try and work from the Inside nothing had worked so far.
Ino sat next to him and she had finally talked to Kushina and gotten the full story.
"Naruto." Ino said softly. "Whiskers it's Ino… Ino chan listen I know you're in there your mom she told me what you did damn it Naruto those bastards deserved what you did but. You will never see it that way. you will Punish yourself and feel like crap but please Naruto." She said climbing onto the bed with him. "Come back to me don't punish me, or your mom." she was yelling at him.
"Fine then don't talk, kiss me." she said smashing her lips to his. Nothing "Damn you Naruto. Kiss me like that night I want the world to stand still." She took his hand and placed it on her cheek then gently pressed her lips to his a tear slipping from her eyes and onto his cheek
She pulled back and his hand stayed on her cheek. "Ino chan I'm sorry please don't cry." He said softly, wiping the new tears from her cheek.
"Naruto you Idiot." She smiled, placing her forehead to his.
"Ino chan… I'm so tired."
"It's Okay go to sleep when you wake up I'll be right here with you."
She laid there with him, her head resting on his chest. she heard the door open and still did not move.
"Ino Hime." Her father's voice came.
"Yes Daddy?"
"You should go home and get some rest."
"No daddy,' I told him. when he woke up I would be right here He talked to me he said Ino chan he told me not to cry." She sobbed. "The big dumb jerk."
"So he.. he's back?" Inoichi asked.
"I thank so call Kushina they should know. And will want to be here when he wakes up."
"Alright dear."
Two days passed and Ino barely left his side in that time staying right with him. If she was gone he did seem to get restless but as she came back he settled down.
Finally he opened his eyes and looked around it was late his mother was curled up in the chair next to him his father was sleeping against the wall and Ino was lightly snoozing on his chest his throat was dry and horse and the damn cup of water was just out of reach he stretched a little too far waking up Ino.
"Naruto?" she asked softly.
He tried to be quiet but this was Ino third loudest in the class.
"Oh thank Kami you're awake." She cried into his chest, this roused both his parents.
"Naruto?" His mother said with a start looking around his father jumped from the floor well there was no point in silence now
"W ter." He rasped out pointing at the cup.
"Oh why didn't You say so." Ino asked, getting the cup. He gave a playful glare. Yeah, that was her Naruto "Slowly now."
"Naruto do you remember what happened?" Minato asked after a time.
"Yeah that bastard broke the third's law spit on you then threatened Ino I gave him what he deserved all of them then I helped Hyati is he okay?"
"No Naruto his condition worsened he is on a breathing Machine Tsunade doesn't know if he will come off of it or not."
"Damn it did he say who was after him or why." Naruto eased out. Minato shook his head
"What happened next. Naruto?" Kushina asked
"I went and got dad then everything just went slowly white I couldn't see and I could barely hear you all whispering I remember feeling guilty about killing them but I knew they deserved it they threatened Ino. Then I felt Ino calling for me. I knew I had to fight my way back so I did, she guided me back like a light blue light."
"Naruto do you remember how you felt?"
"Calm mad as hell but completely calm. Everything around me was so clear. And made so much sense, every move I made had a purpose, nothing was wasted except for beating on the five that ran; they just deserve what they got."
"So you don't feel bad at all?" Ino asked.
"No of course I do but it was like in wave I did what was needed of me."
"Naruto do you think you can get back to that state again?"
"Are you nuts?" Kushina asked. "We barely pulled him back to us."
"Yes but Kushina Tabarmi was said to be able after he first came back turn it on and off at will."
"I can try later." Naruto shrugged "Now I just need a little more sleep." He said eyes fluttering closed.
The next afternoon Naruto was sitting in the Hospital bed.
"I already said I feel fine. Better then before I really don't have time for this I have training to do." Naruto Complaid he was currently strapped to a bed with restaurant seals on. It had been two days since the first time he woke up he had tried to escape six time's already under Tsunade orders; he was not to leave his bed for at least three days and Lais agreed.
"Naruto you will stay in that bed no matter wh…" make that seven time's as soon as she stuck him with a needle he went up in smoke
"But how? He had Chakra restraints and everything" Shizune asked, confused.
"Uzumaki." Tsunada said simply. "Damn it Gaki." She shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Sorry old lady I don't have time to sit in a bed right now." He said to himself jumping through the trees. "I got less than two weeks left to figure this Harashin deal out."
"Naruto!" His father said shortly. Landing by his side.
"What?"
"Was it not an order for you to stay in bed."
"Yes from a doctor so it's more of just a suggestion." He took off running through the trees Laughing like a madman. He barely got twenty yards away.
"I already marked you Naruto, there is no getting away." Minato said.
"Want to make a bet shadow clone Jutsu." Naruto smiled as two hundred clones came into existence. The blond Kage was swarmed by the clone attack he Immediately went on the attack.
Right hook left kick left jab his pace would seem wild and untamed to any outside onlooker but every move had its place he sensed one of his tags moving away from him and grind so the real one wants to run a flash he disappeared as his hand touched Naruto he turned and grind then pop
"Futon wind razor vortex." Was heard from behind him a flash he disappeared just as the tree he was standing on was ripped to shreds.
"Damn it to slow." One of the Naruto's called. eight seconds twenty clones were already down. "Team up delta formation." One of the Naruto's called, they groped up in threes standing with their backs close together pop pop pop three clones down a yellow flash.
"shit what just happened?" A Naruto asked.
"I caught it he." Pop pop pop that clone and his group disappeared.
"He's too fast for us."
"Just stick…" pop pop pop.
"Ruunnnn." The clones scattered heading in all directions Naruto created two hundred more for good masher. It was the worst game of tag Naruto had ever played and the scariest there was no hiding there was no fighting if a clones feet even stopped moving for a second it popped a long jump they popped
"Come on. Naruto think." The real one yelled at himself. 'Okay so dads using the Herashin so If I can lead him into town that should stop him from doing that in public he won't risk it he'll have to change to Atoshi Who is still three to five times faster than me on a good day but it's my best chance.' "crap" pop
He was able to switch with a clone at the last second as his father's foot connected with his face. The impact still hurt like a bitch but he still missed most of the damage.
"to hell with this two can play at this game I have done it before." He yelled out, he reached out he could feel all the clones scattered in the forest there he is returning to that spot after he takes out a clone now.
Naruto's foot came down on top of Minato's head but went right through the air Minato's fist came barreling at his face Naruto disappeared a flash of yellow and sent a straight punch at Minato's spine who disappeared once more a axe kick to the back of the neck flash a punch to the chin flash. "Good Naruto." He said between flashes. "But you're forgetting one thing."
"Oh what's that." Naruto asked between his own teleporters.
"You haven't marked me, I just have your Kuni." He said throwing away Naruto's marked Kuni."
"Crap so Not fair." He said throwing six more in random Directions became a new game How fast could Naruto teleport grab the Kuni throw it and teleport to the next one if he wasn't fast enough his father would destroy the Kuni or attack him directly which was most of the time. Naruto finally felt a clone make it to the forest edge, a smile crossed his lips as his father first met his face pop Minato stopped. He could now Sense two hundred new markers throughout Konoha.
"So that's the way you want it Hu?" Minato created Five clones
All Naruto Needed was for one clone or himself to get a hand on Minato then it would be a fair game again not fair but definitely more evened out okay so the scale would still Hardly move so what it was something right? The real Naruto walked into Ichiraku Ramen
"Naruto I you are supposed to be in the Hospital I'm sorry but we are under orders not to serve you if you come in before tomorrow afternoon." Ayami said with a displeased smile.
"Yeah I figured as much just wanted to come in and say hi so what's new today. Has Iruka asked you out yet?"
"No." Ayami said, glaring at the boy.
"I told you just say the word and I will go give him the swift Kick in the but he needs." Naruto said his arms crossed over his chest.
"Naruto." two women's voices came from behind him.
"Oh shit." Naruto's head slowly turned around. Nashina and Ino stood behind him both had death in their eyes. "Ayami I got to go supposed to be at the Hospital and all." Pop
The real Naruto scrambled into the Hospital. Then into his room Jumping Under the covers. "Anyone asks I was here the whole time." Naruto said to Shizune. Who was preparing a very big needle.
"Of course Naruto kun,'' she said turning towards him with it."
"Shizune Chan where are you going to put that."
"Oh this little guy Is to draw blood from your arm." It was twice the size of a normal needle.
"Crap. Ahhh Eee."
"Oh sorry I missed." Shizune said as if she was an airhead.
"Neeahhhhaa. What did I do to deserve this?"
"Whatever do you mean Naruto?" she asked sweetly
Ino soon came in. "Well whiskers sense you won't listen to the doctors guess who gets to watch you tell tomorrow."
"Ummm You?" He said happily.
"Yes and Guess who's training you're cutting into?"
"Yours and mine?"
"Half of that's right guess which half." She said darkly
"Your's." he said looking down.
"bingo now move over I have a book to read." She said climbing in the bed with him, her head on his shoulder."
"Well now see Naruto that wasn't that bad." Shizune said as she pulled the Needle from his arm.
"Yeah if you're a freakin Grizzly bear."
"Well next time stay put when we tell you to." She said walking out.
"So what should we do for dinner tonight?" Ino asked
"You mean what should you do. I get nasty Hospital food."
"No you don't the deal I made was I keep you here we order out for dinner."
"Ino chan you are the best."
"I know now quit moving. I'm trying to read."
"Hey I'm the one that Had a Freken horse needle in his arm."
"Well Who was the one that led Atoshi on a wild Naruto chase? Through a forest then the city?"
"Yeah but I completed my training I was restless Ino chan. You know how hard it is for me to sit still if I haven't done some training."
"I know Whiskers. But they just need to make sure that you are okay. We are all still worried about you... you didn't eat or sleep for four days you then slept almost three more days that is not something the Human body is supposed to bounce back from. Not to mention the mind."
"Hay I don't remember a damn thing from those four days." Naruto said. "I was only in that white room an hour or two at most."
"Fine Naruto then sit still and be patient for me." She said grumpily
"Alright but only because you asked so nicely." He said laying back and reading her book over her shoulder. Small drops of blood soon started coming from his nose as his face turned red, his jaw unhinged was she really reading one of those books? Well snuggled up next to him oh good Kami please help him. But no matter how hard he tried he couldn't stop reading the words.
It was finally time the day of reckoning had arrived. Naruto Shikamaru and Ino stood out of the large Coliseum looking up at it as the people filed in and the sheer number of people made The three hopefuls nervous.
"So uh any one else suddenly want to skip this shindig?" Naruto asked nervously.
"Are you kidding and go through all that troublesome crap again." Shikamaru said. "No way."
"Oh come on we could all get field promotions." Naruto said.
"Is Whiskers scared?" Ino teased.
"No…" He said in a humph. "But that is a lot of people."
"Yeah." The other two gulped as they walked into the tunnel reserved just for participants. Naruto pulled Ino off to the side.
"Ino do me a favor." He said quietly. "Hold on to this. For me when you see me look up at you after my match pull it out don't let anyone see it tell then got it." He said, handing her a Kuni that she palmed and put in her Kuni pouch. It was odd three pronged with a wooden handle.
"Alright but what is it?"
"You'll see if I beat Nije"
"You mean when you beat him right?"
"Hay I could lose never count your chickens before the slaughter there are always foxes and raccoons around."
"Damn it now I'm worried." Ino huffed.
"You'll do great. look you were already miles ahead of Sasuke when we were in wave. You have even stepped up training since we came back and over the last month Neji on the other hand has been training for a year longer than us that's why I am nervous. All I know is he beat Hinata. And she was one of the best at Taijutsu eve with the Handicap she had in our class."
"You Mean the fact that the Jukin did not work for her right."
"Yeah it was pretty bad." Naruto nodded.
"Well…" She Kissed him on the cheek. "When you win and after this is all done your taking me to Dinner and not ramen proper dinner."
"Okay but well that may take a few days."
"Or weeks depending on what happens." Ino huffed looking worried.
"Just remember your training, you'll do fine and stay with Shika.
"Right." she said as they continued down the tunnel. They were greeted by the screams of the crowd. "Um… Can we skip this part."
Naruto gulped. "We are already here. Besides, would you really deny these People the chance to see the most beautiful girl in Konoha in action?"
"Flattery gets you nowhere."
"I was just telling it how I see it."
all participants, even Sasuke, were on time as the Hokage had warned Kakashi if he was even a second late not only would Sasuke be disqualified Kakashi would be standing night gate watch for the next month if not year depending on how the Kage felt that day.
The eleven competitors walked out to the cheers of the crowd and met a face most thought would never be seen again Zabuza Mamochi.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Naruto asked
"Oh the old man let me and Haku go even made me a Konoha shinobi gonna be killing for your side now."
"Oh cool so you want your sword back?" Naruto asked
"Oh so you're the brat that has it Hu. Hand my cleaver over." Naruto looked up to the Kage both and Hiruzens gave a node as the Kazekage interfered.
"Ah Kazekage sama glad you could make it."
"Well it is a good thing that the exams were held here in Konoha this time you might not have made it otherwise." The Kazekage spoke as he took his seat.
"Oh I ashore you I would travel all the way to snow to see this, we have a promising group this year."
"Yes but against my Gaara I fear none stand a chance."
"That is true, unthinkable sending an unstable Jinchuriki to a chunin exam. I Have ordered all but one of my shinobi to stand down against him."
"I see and would that one by any chance be the last Uchiha I can't wait to see him in action."
"No… I don't believe Sasuke kun will make it that far. But our surprise of the morning will knock your hat off. Just wait for the first round and you will understand."
"Is that by chance Zabuza Mamochi I see."
"Yes a new addition to our humble village he will mostly be teaching at the Academy for the next year but I thought it would do well to showcase him here."
"Alright you maggots listen up." Zabuza said swinging his sword to his back. "I will not be repeating myself when I say a match is over. That means you try anything after that and I will kick your scrawny little ass from here until Kumo got it." A round of nods "good. Now let's get this show on the road." He turned to the Hokage. And amplified his voice with Chakra. "We will now be starting the final round of the Chunin examinations. You know the rules there really are none do what you have to to win there will be up to five minutes between each fight all competitors But Hyuga Neji and Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto please move to the. Holding area." The Name made every competitor and villager look at the blond whispering could heard through the hole crowed things like did he just say Namikaze and what does that mean?
"Hokage you have been hiding a Namikaze?" the Kazekage asked in surprise.
"Oh yes I feared that if some learned of his family line then he would be in grave danger but I feel that he can now handle himself adiquity at this point come what may."
In the stands
"Sensei did he just say Namikaze that's the name of the fourth right?" Hinata asked her Sensei.
"Yes it was Hinata." Kureni said, looking at Asuma.
"Yes Hinata he is the son of the fourth."
"Why would he hide such a thing? He doesn't seem surprised at all." Kiba said.
"the third He knew the danger that name would bring." Kakashi added. "Asuma I don't know what you did to him but Naruto grew so quickly under you."
"Ha you kidding Kids self thought hell he pushed me more than I could hope to push him he has the work ethics of Guy and is a natural to boot." Asuma said, throwing a thumb at the green man.
In the arena.
"You have no chance Fate has already decided that you would lose when it pitted you against me.."
"Oh And why is that?"
"Because unlike you I have been gifted with talent fate has chosen me to rise well you the dead last are fated for failure. Even if you are related to the fourth."
"Oh so any one that is the dead last is just bound to be losers is that it?" Naruto asked.
"Yes they are failures that should not be allowed to soil the shinobi forces."
"Okay then what about the third. Jaraiya of the sennin your Sensei the best Taijutsu master in Konoha they were all dead last in their classes are they all losers or some of the greatest Ninja of there generations?" Neji stayed silent. "Oh fates little bitch doesn't have a come back Zabuza start this shit I'm going to show him how pathetic he really is." Naruto said, dropping into his stance.
Neji soon followed suit dropping into his stance "Start." Zabuza called jumping back Neji moved in throwing fast jabs right left right right left right speed was his key to victory or so he thought as Naruto blocked all of his attacks then on his last right palm strike lend straight back his right foot grazing Neji's chin making the Hyuuga prodigy step back.
"Will so far the dobe is winning." Naruto grins raising his hands back up showing Neji that not one of his Tenketsu where closed. "So still thank fate is on your side?"
"You would not understand you do not understand fate what it means to be marked by a fate sense a young age."
"Oh I don't go ahead tell me about your little seal you know I had one sense birth. yeah that's right mine made me the most hated person in all Konoha. My own father, the fourth Hokage, gave me mine. How about you Got the Kyuubi stuck in you oh wait that's me. So who doesn't know shit?"
Nije charged once more Naruto dogged and weaved around his strikes every so often he would flip or Cartwheel away. Lashing out at Neji with his feet driving the Hyuuga back. "You don't Have a clue is your mark a prison that you can never escape you have freedom. If I even try to act against my uncle he could kill me."
"I have had death threats all my life because of ignorance, beatings, stabbings and even been poisoned. You're whole oh poor me rutean is tiered fuck destany make your own destan.y Konoha was my prison my destiny was to be a weapon to defend Konoha one ment to go through life with no one. No friends, no family, that was my Jail and for a time that's how it was not now though. I am a weapon just like any other Shinobi. But I am doing it my way through not just my own strength but the strength of those around me without them I would have already given up becoming a killer. I will make my own way." He forced Neji back once more with a fast kick.
"You have made One mistake Uzumaki."
"so have you."
"You're in my field of devanation/ gravity trap." They said at the same time Nije took a step, Naruto hit a knee placing his hands on the ground five seals around Nije Activated and he was forced to the ground by an Invisible force.
In the stands.
"Father what just happened?" Hinabi Hashi's youngest asked.
"That is Fuinjutsu Neji did not watch how his opponent was moving, trapping him in a fuinJutsu circle and he tried to act too slow thanking he could play with his foe well with evermore his opponent was forming a trap."
"So Nije Lost?" her eyes went wide.
"Guy Sensei, what just happened?" Tenten asked seeing her teammate hit the ground.
"It would seem Naruto placed gravity seals as he moved around a good strategy, he knew it would be dangerous fighting Nije head on. the whole time and even though he looked like he was fighting he was just buying time. Neji lost the second he started the battle."
"But you would have to be an expert in Fuinjutsu." Tenten said, shaking .
"Naruto is a master not to mention an Uzumaki." Asuma smiled at her
In the field
"I will not lose." Neji said, trying to push to his feet."
"Right now your barley at three times normal gravity at five it starts to get harder to breathe at ten your body crushes itself I will slowly turn it up until you say you give up. You are strong Neji, if I hadn't Come up with this plane I would have lost to you."
"I was... gag... fated to be."
"fate is a lie." Naruto said. "We are our own actors. Proctor call this, he's about to pass out."
And shore enough Neji was unable to breath at this point and turned red.
"Winner by Immobilization Naruto Uzumaki. Could have given more blood or a good show at least.." Zabuza said
Naruto released the seal and Neji took a deep breath med nine came rushing out to check on him.
"You want a show here,'' he said, throwing Zabuza a three pronged kunai he then looked up at Ino who had just pulled a replica out of her pouch flash.
The whole crowd went silent had they really just seen that that was the seconds and the fourth's tecnec.
Naruto scoped her off her feet "care for a left?" flash
He reappeared next to Zabuza, grabbed the Kuni from his hand threw it flashe grabbed it out of the air threw it into the competitors box flash grabbing it before it hit the wall.
In the kage box the Kazekage was choking on air having a coughing fit.
"are you okay Kazakage Sama?" Mouse asked, touching the man's shoulder leaving his Invisible mark. You could never be too careful after all
"Yes, just amazed the boy learned such a powerful technique at such a young age."
"Oh Naruto kun just wants to show off a bit there is no doubt in my mind at this point that he is chunin Material."
"but such a blatant display. When it's not needed" the Kazakage said.
"Yes but he has held back his true abilities sense the academy no doubt in my mind that he could have easily taken the top spot if he wanted to."
"I see."
In the stands
Lais Couldn't help but grab her husband's arm. "DID… Did he just use Minato's move?"
"I can't believe it myself dear."
"Oh… if only he and Kushina were here to see this."
"I… I'm sure they are watching dear."
"Yes but it's just not the same." She said taking his hand and squeezing it. "I have lost so many friends first Kushina then Tsunami and Mitoko. We should have a BBQ after this even if they dont become Chunin."
Lais had not heard of the commotion that Kushina had caused with the man Naruto had cripled Hiruzen had mad sure no one would talk about it ha had to erase many memories that dayand by the time she had left the room they had already retaken her Nashina form.
"Agreed." Inoichi couldn't help but look at the Kage box at his friend, at his wife's friends. Then look to the area that he knew Kushina was sitting. 'And this time you two will be your selves.'
On the other side.
Kakashi was wide eyed. Asuma's and Guy's Jaws were unhinged. Kurini's was almost there as well in fact when Sakura looked around every shinobi of their generation and older looked as if they had seen a ghost except for one.
"Wh… Whats wrong, Kurini Sesei?" Hinata asked.
"What… Oh that move that was the flying thunder god that's the move that made the fourth Hokage Famous only him and the creator have ever been able to use it."
"Guy sensei was that truly the Flying thunder god Ah just the thought of seeing it used in my lifetime I can not believe that I could be bestod with such an honor."
"Lee I am glad that you appreciate the importance of this tecnec."
"Guy sensei."
"Lee."
"Guy sensei." With that they began to hug."
"Don't even think about it." Nashina stopped them before the inescapable Genjutsu was able to form.
"You.. You stopped them." Kakacshi said with tears in his eyes this time.
Sasuke walked into the field. And stood across from Ino. His sharingan activated. Ino never turned to face him.
"Are both competitors ready?"
"Yes." Sasuke said.
"Nope I have four minutes left." Ino chirped.
"well if that's what you want." Zabuza shrugged
"You're just going to let her stall?" Sasuke yelled.
"Yeah not her flat your wasting Chakra." Zabuza shrugged
In the stands
"Wait what does he mean?" Sakura asked.
"Sasuke activated his Sharingan thanking Ino would just move to the fight she has outsmarted him if he deactivates them she will simply start the match and force him to waste Chakra activating his eyes or he simply waste Chakra keeping his eyes active. A cheap move" Kakashi said.
"Yeah yeah you're just pissed because your boy is going to lose." Asuma waved off.
"not a chance." Kakashi said they both had fifty thousand riding on this match.
"That's my girl." Lais said with a cheer.
"Are you really going to wait the full five minutes?" Sasuke asked
"I don't know so Zabuza, how is Haiku? What's he up to?"
"Oh he's working at the Hospital, kid always was too soft for the shinobi life."
"Oh I must have missed him on what floor?"
"Fourth, children's wing."
"that does seem like him."
"Why are you talking to her?" Sasuke was in a rage by this point.
"She asked shut it you little bastard I already don't like you."
"On second thought Zabuza, go ahead and start the match." She said not turning around
"Ah alright girly. Start." He called jumping back.
Sasuke charged forward and threw a high sweeping kick right at her head she dropped to her knees and spun around her hands came up in an o pointing right at his head she went limp he was too close to dodge. His foot came down and he stopped raising his hand "proctor I am no match for Ino I give up." Sasuke said.
"You shore?"
"Yes, she is just too strong for me."
"Due to forfeit." As That word left Zabuza's mouth, Ino left Sasuke's body. "Ino Yamanaka is the winner."
Sasuke looked around confused for a second. "What no How?"
Kages both
The Kazekage was having another of his coughing fits he could not believe this.
"Yes that's what I thought would happen." Hiruzen noded. "Sasuke was far too over confident in his fighting abilities and misjudged Ino's thinking she was still the same fan girl from school."
"You knew the whole time." The Kazakage asked
"That's what I said. I knew that Sasuke was too brash and did not have what it took to be chunin. But Ino has definitely shown her true Colors today and she came up with an excellent plane that was perfectly executed if I do say so don't you agree."
"Yes she definitely has." He said darkly.
In the stands
"Told you Kakashi. and no I did not train any of my students in the last month as that would have been unfair as they may have to face each other. She came up with that on her own."
"You gave up." Zabuza shrugged.
"I would never do such a thing." Sasuke protested.
"Are you calling me a liar?" Zabuza asked, reaching for his blade.
Sasuke gulped. "N… No"
"Good then get the hell out of you here, you already lost."
Sasuke looked at Ino then at Zabuza. "You're not even a real Konoha Shinobi."
"Oh really ask the Hokage what he thinks." Zabuza said with an eye smile.
Sasuke looked up at the Kage box.
"Hiruzen many came here today to see the Uchiha fight. We should give him the chance." The Kazakage said.
"No he lost fairly I will not show such favoritism in the matter." He then stood up before Sasuke could speak out.
"Uchiha Sasuke you have lost. Not only that your attitude has shown you are not qualified to be a Chunnin at this time leave the area now."
Sasuke grit his teeth and shoved his hands in his pockets, finally walking off. His head held high he was an Uchiha after all this was just a minor set back besides anyone could see that the Yamanaka had cheated somehow how else could he lose.
Ino returned to the competitors booth.
"Why couldn't I have an easy match like that." Shikamaru whined as he passed by her.
"Ah just show some skills then do what must be done."
Shikamaru, went down and faced off against his Opponent. Why did it have to be another girl, I have all the luck.
"Don't think I will be as easy a target as that sound nin."
"Wouldn't dream of it." He huffed "Besides I have to Show off a little so that they know I'm not just a one trick pony here."
"Oh and what's that supposed to mean."
"It means I don't want to go through this troublesome thing all over again."
"Well you might not have to anyway if you Die." With that she swung her fan a burst of air was sent out right at the lazy Nara.
He dodged it running through hand signs "Kagemane Ninjutsu." As soon as his foot hit the ground his shadow stretched towards the Quad tailed blond she began to back peddle sending out another blast of air.
"You wont get close enough."
He dodged once more then started running in a circle around the girl circling in closer she launched blast after blast But he changed his speed and direction at random she began backpedaling launching blast after blast of air at him he was within ten feet of her and he just couldn't close the distance. He jumped back putting even more distance between them.
"HU looks like I can't pull a Naruto." He said shaking his head he put his hands in the Ram to gather chakra lines started to form around his body not as thick as the ones naruto had but still there nonetheless Ki. the lines shattered and his Muscles bulged. "Now your mine." He took off, Tamari lost sight of him, she wildly sent blasts of air out.
"Behind you." Kankoro shouted.
She spun around jumping backwards but it wasn't enough she was still going to land in the shadow she forced a blast of wind sending her back further his shadow receded as he switched hand signs a smile appeared on his face too late for her to recover
Boooommm
an explosion rocked her back sending her flying forward. "Booomm Another one sent her higher into the air Before she could get her bearings Shekamaru Appeared above her His heal landing right in her gut knocking the Vary wind she depended on out of her lungs she hit the ground hard so hard she lost grip on her fan that went flying away from her Sheka went through hand seals once more and before he even landed his shadow already had her trapped he changed the hand seal and his shadow went up wrapping around her neck. Slowly Timaris' world went black.
"She's done." Shika said, pulling his shadow back.
"Hu at least this one had some good explosions." Zabuza said. "By way of Knockout Nara Shikamaru is the winner."
In the stands
"Guy sense where those lines we saw before he got faster?"
"I have heard of a boy that places a new resistance seal. Perhaps Shikamaru somehow received one."
"I have heard this roomer as well but dismissed it as you had told me that resistance seals were inferior to weight training."
"Normally that's true, but with the ones Naruto does it's the opposite. Weight training is inferior as his put resistance no matter how you move." Asuma supplied. He saw no point in hiding the fact that
By this time Niji had found the group along with Sasuke who he was told to being hear should he lose. As Sasuke was the only one of the competitors that did not know of the order he never thought that he would be the one shamed with the lose but now he could tell he was outmatched from the very start not by someone less then him but someone who was born to greatness so could he really call this a loss but Nartuo's words ringed in his ears still he was fighting destiny in his own way
Naruto was going to lose his secret Identity after today anyways as Kasu, he swore he would no longer hide anything of who he was and what he could do.
"The Nara Boy was Quite impressive to take on Timari so easily I have been wanting to promote her for some time but Gara would not work with anyone but his siblings and even that was difficult to do." Orochmaru was gritting his teeth. He wished he could just enact his plan now as His Sasuke Kun had already lost but Gaara was a main part of his plan and he needed the sand Jinchriki to transform inside the arena to do the most damage.
"Yes I believe Shikamaru Kunhas definitely earned himself a promotion. He is the most motivated Nara I have ever seen myself. Of cores this is do impart to his team."
Choji passed Shikamaru on his way down to his fight.
"Good job out there I admit I thought you were going to give up."
"Nah would be too troublesome, besides mom is watching today. She would have kicked my ass if I did."
"Hah yeah mine too, Guess I have to do my best."
"That's right, get out there."
"Round Four Shimara Kinsi vs Akimichi Choji Start." Zabuza called Jumping back.
Instantly Kinsi went through hand signs. Choji followed suit.
"Air built."
Kinsi shot multiple air bullets out towards Choji who in return slammed his hands down on the ground.
"Mud dome."
Kinsi prepared another Jutsu for when the rotuned nin dropped his guard he was not going to waist his chakra trying to break though that dome. what he was not expecting was a large hand coming out of the ground wrapping around his ankle then dragging him into the dirt up to his shoulders trapping him choji reappeared.
"Proctor you can call it he won't be getting out of that."
"By way of immobilization Akamichi Choji wins."
Kage box.
The kazakage let out a low growl. So far this day had just gone to prove the strength of Konoha the exact opposite of what he was hoping for but then soon enough that would end. "You could have at least told you're shinobi to give a small show."
"Show you say hmm I thought that was quite well played I do apologize that the matches have been so uneven. "Maybe your next match will fare a little better."
Competitor box.
'Should I forfeit… no it would look bad like I was afraid of the Konoha tree hugger. But I need to conserve Chakra. I'll have to make it fast, no one here has seen crow in action so maybe he'll just rush me."
With this thought Kankoro took the field.
"Round 5 Subaki no Kankuro vs Auberami Shino. Start."
Whit this Kankuro jumped back. Shino stayed right where he was unmoving hands in his Pockets.
In the competitor box.
"Hmph… Is he going to make a move." Timari asked. After a quick check up she had returned hear to be with her team.
"Shino already has." Choji siad. With a nod. In fact he has already won.
'What is he doing. Is he not going to attack? wait, my chakra is dropping. how?
"Proctor call this match he has lost." Shino said simply
"Are you giving up."
"No He already lost already hundreds of my bugs are draining him of his chakra even if he were to attack now he would be drained before he could reach me."
Zabuza looked over at Kankuro, the skin on his face started to crack to reveal a puppet that's teeth chattered the puppet dropped to its knees then collapsed Kankuro revealed himself from the bandaged package on his back already breathing heavily.
"Proctor I give up." Kankuro said trying to save the last of his Chakra."
Kage both
"I do apologize, KazeKage Sama seems my Shinobi do not know how to hold back."
"It is quite alright Hokage Sama I'm sore Gara will put on a good enough show to counter this an Aubarami should prove a fair match for him."
"Oh shino Kun won't be fighting him. Like I said all but one of my shinobi have orders to forfeit their match."
"You Can't mean you last Namikaze that would be throwing his life a way."
"Far from it I believe a stable Jinchuriki that has fair control of the Beju will be able to out match an unstable one."
The kazekage looked at his old sensei was the man bluffing? Yes he had to have been there was no way he could gain control at such a young age.
"We shall see."
"Very well we will have a five minute intermission then go right to round 6 Subaki no Gaara Vs."
"Proctor I forfeit that match." Shino Said Interrupting him.
"In that case we shall go right to match one of the semi finals Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto Vs Yamanaka Ino."
Naruto held out his hand and offered it to Ino then threw one of his three pronged Kuni to the center of the field.
With a flash they were in the center of the field.
In the stands.
"Who will win Sensei?" Hinata asked.
Kurini looked at Asuma. "Naruto has this one though they will put on a show."
"I'm Glad." Hinata siad looking down.
Might as well rip that bandaid off. "He wouldn't want to get promoted over his girlfriend after all."
Kurini looked at Asuma Hinata looked Stunned.
Kurinin knew how Hinata felt about the blond wisker marked teen they had even talked about it before and she in turn had talked to Asuma about it. was he trying to ruin all the confidence that she had built up in her student. No he wouldn't he was just being upfront.
"Na… Naruto Kun Has a gi… Girlfriend." Hinata asked.
"Yeah he and Ino started to go out after his coma incident." Asuma nodded.
"Not that they had much of a chance to sense then with all the training they had to catch up on." Nashina added. "But I for one whole Hartedly agree with his choice. He needs a head strong woman to keep him on the straight and narrow."
Kurini glared at the brown haired women. She knew the women was close friends with Naruto but who was shee to say such things.
"I don't know I think someone with a gentle nature could be right to balance his brash nature as well." Kurini said, trying to give hope to her student. Glaring daggers at the women in warning.
Asuma Laughed this may put him in the dog house for some time but he had to stop his girlfriend from embarrassing herself. "Kurini if you think Naruto is brash you don't know him at all Naruto plains everything yet he is not afraid to improvise I for one would say she is right. They balance each other really well. Hell there like peas in a pod."
Kurini Glared at him. Yup he wasn't getting any for the next month. Or more. "Fucking Naruto you owe me so big." he thought.
On the field the battle had already begun the two where not so much fighting as dancing just like Asuma said punches and Kuni were flying Shuriken And Jutsu. Naruto showed off his air nature well Ino Shoed off her Water nature there moves where flawless and showed off there skills.
Finally ino was forced back.
"Hu So I really Cant beat you like this shall I kick it up?"
"You Have something left?" Naruto asked.
Ino smierked then put her hands together in the ram seal lines appeared across her body just as thick as the ones on shikamaru had "Ki!" they shattered
In the stands
"Ino too." Sakura shouted.
"Whole team has them though I didn't expect them two to have it on going into the fight. Naruto on the other hand. I wouldn't be surprised if his were on the third level. "
In the field Ino's speed nearly doubled yet Naruto was still keeping pace
"Sorry Ino Chan it's still not enough."
"I didn't thank it would be whiskers but I had to try." She said breathing even more heavily.
"Proctor I can't win." Ino Said raising her hand.
In Kage box
"I thank all three of them will be getting promoted. What do you think mouse?"
"They all have come a long way since they graduated." Mouse said with a nod. "I would be proud to call them Chunin. All five of them."
"Agreed."
Choji and Shikamaru put on the same kind of show as Naruto and Ino but in the end both of them forfeit leaving just two competitors. Leaving just two.
"Do you plan to forfeit as well. Gaara asked.
"Well I was thankful about it." Naruto said, rubbing the back of his head with a goofy smile. "But no that wouldn't be very fair to you. I mean you have been so patient. I thank I will fight."
"Then let us do this Uzumaki." Gara said with a shunshin of sand.
"Good luck." Ino said,Squeezing his hand.
With that Naruto was gone as well.
"Your boyfriend is going to die." Tamari said leaning Against the railing.
"No he'll be fine." Ino Said. shaking her head gently "Anyways now's as good time as any. you two have just two options: one when the Attack starts lay down your weapons and Surender two get knocked out and taken captive, you may be thanking a third option to fight but remember this we went easy on you two."
The two sibling mouths were agape looking at the blond female. Who didn't even take her eyes off the blond in the ring.
"If you knew about the attack then why would he fight Gaara?"
"Simply to lure Orochimaru out of Hiding the Fourth Hokage is going to kill him."
This got even the Konoha Nin to look at Ino they new the plan was to tell them everything but had she gone nuts with that last part.
"Hu you had me scared there for a second girly now I know you're all talk the Fourth is dead."
Ino looked back and smiled a smile that reached her eyes. "He got better." then went back to watching the match.
On the field
Zabuza looked at the two "The Final match will begin Now." Zabuza said, jumping back all the way out of the Arena.
Naruto pulled out six Kuni and threw them, scattering them around the arena."
He charged in testing Gaara's defense no matter where he attacked from the sand blocked him popping up no matter where he attacked form even from behind with Gara unable to see him he wasn't fast enough or strong enough to break though Narutp flashed to the Kuni furthest Away. his hands in a ram seal lines the same lines as Ino and Shikamaru had apeared on his skin.
"Ki."
In the competitor box.
"Should have known he would have those two but it wont help." Kankaro said.
"Kankuro shut up." Timari said.
She had already seen what a difference that seal made first hand he had not.
In the feild
Naruto rushed in once more his first his landed the sand unable to react in time the punch landed in Gaara's face but he looked unfazed. his sands reached up grabbing the blond But the blond enveloping him completely Naruto flushed away.
"So you have a second Layer of armor do you. I'll just have to strip that away from you."
"You are the first to escape my sands now mother really wants your blood."
"Come and get it." Naruto yelled.
Naruto disappeared again three punches to gaara's chest the sand nin stumbled back but still looked mostly unfazed Naruto flushed away this time he charged a Jutsu one that had not been seen in many years.
A spinning orb of pure Chakra this one seemed less powerful then the true version. "We'll start at ten percent, don't want to kill you after all."
Kakashi stood up along with a lot of the other Junin
"Sensei what's wrong." Sakura asked.
"That's another of the fourth's moves." Kurini supplied, and an original move.
Naruto threw a kuni witch Gaara's sand caught he teleported to it anyways slamming the orb into the sand witch then blew up naruto teleported away as Garra flew backwards.
Garra screamed out in pain some of the force seemed to hit him as well Naruto already had a second charged this time the sand did not stop him he planted it in Garaa's back sending him flying forwards.
In the Kage Box
"Hiruzen you had Jaria teach him that move that is too far."
"As far as sending a Unstable Jinchuriki to a Chunin exam I think not."
In the field
Garaa was screaming this is what Naruto was waiting for Garaa had covered himself in a dome of sand feathers started falling in the stands.
"Boom" An explosion rocked the stands emanating from the Kage box
End Chapter hope you like
