Enter Haruhi Uzumaki!

Many years ago, it was said that the Village Hidden Among Leaves, had raised a champion. A champion that was said to overcome all impossible feats. Mastering techniques Hokages could not. Defeat an array of opponents multiple ninja have only dreamed of defeating. And most of all, saving the Shinobi World from extinction, from the evil criminal organization Akatsuki. In the end, both sides suffered severely, for this ninja champion had loved a friend from the criminal organization. He was seduced by power, to end a feud, but craved for more. Sasuke Uchiha, was his name, and he had been blinded from the truth, but it was too late, the champion delivered the final blow. But having did that, he had saved the Ninja World from complete ruin.

The Champion's name: Naruto Uzumaki, Ninja from the Hidden Leaf Village, Master of the Sage Arts, and the Hokage's official successor.

Fifteen years on, Naruto had matured into a fine adult. Thirty years into his life, he had married his one true love: Sakura Haruno, now known as Sakura Uzumaki, and in most women's eyes: luckiest Kunoichi in the Hidden Leaf Village. With her, Naruto raised his own champion, one that would surpass even him: his daughter, Haruhi Uzumaki...

"Naruto!"

The feverent expression of the shining Naruto, turned into a frightening one, as Sakura Uzumaki emerged in her children's room. Sakura had grown much more beautiful over her fifteen years. Now wearing a pony tail over her now long hair, she still refused to wear a Jounin's garb, except on S-Class Missions, she often wore a small red vest, revealing the bottom half of her torso, and a small red skirt. Her headband remained as it is as a hair decoration. Naruto was much more dashing in his fifteen years. His whisker marks were still intact, and was now a Jounin, going on Hokage, he wore a Jounin's flak jacket underneath the symbol of his Sage Training: his black and red robes.

"Are you done telling the children their bedtime story yet? More specifically are you done telling them that story?" She asked in annoyance. Naruto was seated next to her daughter as he was telling the story of how he became the renowned ninja he was today, to his two children: Haruhi Uzumaki, aged 12, and troublemaker like her father. She had long red hair, passed on through Naruto's mother: Kushina, and had Sakura's green eyes; and Tsukune Uzumaki, Naruto's 8 year old son. Fashioned with Naruto's hair and face, he adopted Sakura's persona, particularly her attitude.

"Isn't that a little harsh, honey? I mean, I get pretty pepped up every time I hear it too." Naruto replied.

"It was nice hearing it the first two or three times. Now it's getting old." Sakura said unsympathetically.

"Heh-he. Some things in life never change, huh?" Naruto said to himself. "Well at least let me finish it."

"Yeah, mom. Daddy's story is always great." Tsukune said happily. Sakura sighed with a smile.

"Fine, but if you run late for the Academy because your father kept you up all night with his tales of "how he defeated the mighty Akatsuki", don't come home crying to me." Sakura said with a giggle before leaving.

"Phew! Thanks for sticking up for me." Naruto applauded.

"Now that mom's gone, can you please show us your...R-Rash...Raa-" Haruhi said fervently, only to get caught up.

"You want me to show you Rasengan?" Naruto assisted.

"Yeah, yeah!" Both Haruhi and Tsukune squealed in unison.

"Oh, okay. But only if you go to bed after this." Naruto said. The two children nodded wildly. Naruto chuckled before presenting his palm, to which a mass amount of Chakra swirled into his hand, forming a blue circulating ball, making it evident, that Shadow Clones were no longer necessary during the Rasengan build-up.

"Tah-dah!" Naruto said happily. Both children clapped silently, as to not attract their mother's undivided attention. But the Rasengan ball vanished with a swirl. "Okay, time for bed." Giving a kiss to each of his children, he left them to their sleepiness, or at least to Tsukune. Under Haruhi's bed, she was trying to mimic her father in the Rasengan technique. The most she can do is swirl the Chakra, but not form it into a ball. Until she was starting to run out of Chakra that she decided to call it quits.

It was already afternoon in the Ninja Academy for underage Shinobi, that Haruhi was caught again causing mischief in the girl's bathroom. She was then already caught by some of the teachers.

"Haruhi?!" Yelled one of her teachers. The girl's bathroom was completely vandalised, with toilet paper covering most of the walls, a sink ready to flood by being blocked up, and Haruhi in the midst of doing the same to the toilet.

"Oops." She said. Her sensei, a much older version of Iruka, managed to catch her. Iruka was just the same as before only more wrinklier and more grey.

"Haruhi, were you misusing your Shadow Clone Jutsu to mess up the girl's bathrooms? Again?" Asked Iruka in a much hoarser voice. He was speaking to Haruhi in front of the class, ropes tying her torso to her arms, since she refused to come quietly.

"Sort of..." She muttered. The class sniggered at her humiliation, she only cursed under her breath.

"Maybe if you spent more time practicing Jutsu, and less time misusing them, maybe you'd get better grades!" Iruka scolded.

"Those grades don't mean squat when I become a ninja!" She back-talked. Iruka sighed to himself.

"Naruto, Sakura, what deadly combo have you two made?" Thought Iruka, still very annoyed at his best student's daughter. After she was forced to clean up her mess, without the aid of Shadow Clones, she was escorted home by Iruka to the Uzumaki residence. Iruka kindly knocked the door, to reveal Sakura as cheerful as ever.

"Ahhh, Iruka-Sensei, how do I..." She said happily, before seeing her daughter's face, she immediately lit up. "What did she do this time?!" And at that, Haruhi gulped nervously. Luckily, Naruto was taking the day off, and he had time to hear Iruka out. They sat together in the living room, where it could fit nearly half of the street in, with Tsukune singing "Haruhi's in trouble, Haruhi's in trouble."

"Your daughter's been vandalising the girl's restrooms yet again, Naruto." Iruka explained. Naruto sighed.

"I take it the damage has been multiplied thanks to her Shadow Clones." Naruto predicted. Iruka nodded. Naruto rubbed his forehead, which was missing his headband. "Leave her with me. If she repeats this action again, I'll ask the Hokage to increase your pay wage."

"Hm, generous offer." Iruka said. "But I decline. After all, I'm used to putting up with the Uzumakis." Naruto gave a worried smirk, as Iruka headed for the door. "Oh, and by the way, whatever you have to say to her Naruto, it better be quick, since the Genin Exam is tomorrow." Haruhi gaped. "Remember, one trial, using Jutsu to avoid attacks. If she can do it without messing up, she'll be her ninja."

"Got it." Naruto said. Iruka paid his last respects as he left.

"What do you think you're doing, Haruhi?!" Bellowed Sakura at the top of her voice, making Haruhi flinch. "If we've told you once, we've told you a thousand times! You're Jutsu comes at a great responsibility! How can-"

"Sakura." Said Naruto easily, Sakura stopped immediately. "I thought I asked Iruka to let me handle her."

"How do you intend to change her when I've asked her to stop a hundred times already!" Sakura replied hastily.

"I have experience with this kind of situation. Remember? I was the lowly brat causing nothing but mischief?" Naruto said, still keeping calm. Sakura widened her eyes, before lowering them again.

"You're right." Sakura said with a smile, now on the same page as Naruto. "I should've known you and Haruhi are the same. You're the perfect person to handle her." Naruto smiled back. "But be sure to give her nothing but trouble though, it's the least she can recieve."

"No thanks." Naruto said. "I'll use my methods." He led Haruhi from her seat and took her outside. Although it was still early in the afternoon, Naruto had taken her to the Ichiraku Ramen stand, where Ayami was now leading the business. Haruhi nibbled into her ramen, while her father scoffed it down in one gulp, once he was finished, he looked over at her. "So Haruhi, why'd you do it?"

"Destroy the girl's bathroom?" She asked before taking another noodle with her chopsticks.

"Yeah. If I'm right in thinking, you'd suffer too, since it's your bathroom. At least do it to the boy's if you're planning to do it again." Naruto said with a smile. Haruhi widened her eyes in thought. "But you can't. Cus if you do, then I'll be scolded by your mom. And is this how the daughter of the next Hokage's supposed to act?"

"N-No!" Haruhi said in haste. "You told me you were once a troublemaker, and so I wanted to do what you did. Cause mischief, and still be recognised as a ninja."

"Haruhi. That was over fifteen years ago, when I was still in the Academy. I was an idiot back then. Also, I did it because no one respected me." Naruto replied with hesitation on the last sentence. "I was an orphan who was thought to be a monster. You have two loving parents, and have a reputation as the next Hokage's daughter to uphold."

"I don't want that reputation, dad." She said angrily. "You're seen as the strongest ninja in the Village. I don't want to be seen as the strongest ninja's daughter, I want to be seen as Haruhi Uzumaki, next strongest ninja to Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto smiled.

"Good point. But do you want to achieve that goal through petty acts?" He replied.

"No." She said sadly. Naruto seeing her sadness, decided to cheer her up.

"Hey. I got a deal for you. If you promise to be a good girl from now on, I'll teach you how to ace the final exam." Haruhi immediately went out of her depression and hugged her father.

"Thank you, daddy." She said happily. Naruto smiled before ordering another ramen for himself.

Later on in the night, after the family had a proper meal, Naruto was currently teaching Haruhi how to Substitute in the gardens. It was getting late in the night, and only when Sakura seen them training that she went to them.

"Naruto, Haruhi, it's getting late. C'mon in before you catch a cold." She called before going inside.

"Alright, honey, you're all good. Use that Jutsu in the exam, and you'll be fine." Naruto said. Haruhi gave a saddened look. "Somethin' troubling you, honey?"

"Do you think I'll pass this exam?" She asked all of a sudden. "It's my only chance to become a Genin, and I'm risking it all with a technique I learned tonight." Naruto looked down at his daughter, smiled and patted her head.

"You needn't worry. I know you to have my gut instinct. If you run into trouble, you'll know how to get out of it." He said.

"But daddy. Substitution's good and all, but I wanna know how to do killer moves to pass the test, like Rasengan." Haruhi said. Naruto patted her head again.

"And why would you want to learn that move?" Asked Naruto.

"Because, if I can show them a power technique like that, they'll want to make me a Genin." Naruto laughed to himself.

"You got guts to wanna know that move." He replied. "Rasengan usually takes three years to master. I mastered it in a week, but only because I had additional help." Haruhi raised an eyebrow. "This is how I do it now." Naruto raised a palm and called forth Chakra that spiralled in his hand, then made it vanish. "This was how I used to do it. Shadow Clone Jutsu." He summoned a Clone and raised his hand again, only this time, the Clone had to swirl the Chakra. Haruhi was amazed by this, since her father took a week to master it. "I don't expect you to master it, even Sakura had trouble mastering it."

"Mom knows Rasengan?!" Haruhi exclaimed.

"Yeah. She kept pounding me to give her tips to do it." Naruto said with a snigger. "Besides, even if you somehow mastered Rasengan this very night, the exam is about avoiding attacks, not using Rasengan and get attacked anyway. But enough chat, time for bed." Haruhi noticed many Kunai lying on the ground because of Naruto's constant throwing at her.

"I think I'll stay and pick up these Kunai." She called to her father. Naruto turned around to her. "Y'know mom. If she sees her precious garden littered with Kunai..."

"Yeah, good point. I don't need a hint as to what'll happen then." Naruto said scratching his head. Naruto headed inside. "Thanks, Haruhi." When she made sure he was away, she used her Shadow Clones to clean the gardens. Then she looked around.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" She called out. A Clone of herself appeared. "Okay, Haruhi. If you want to be the strongest ninja in the Village, prove you can master Rasengan!" She opened her palm and focused her Chakra, then the Clone tried to focus it into a ball, but the Chakra exploded in her hand, because of the lack of concentration. "Arghhh! What happened there?!" But clamped her mouth shut, as to not give her position away. "One more time." It took a few hours of trying to master Rasengan, that she actually got close to focusing it, that it dispersed. She was about to perform another Rasengan before she passed out through lack of Chakra. Thankfully, her mother and father were watching from their room.

"She has your stamina." Sakura said quietly.

"And your temper." Naruto replied. Sakura gave him a cold look, before she laughed heartedly. The two took the passed out Haruhi to her room to sleep. Naruto placed a blanket over her daughter. "I hope she doesn't try and use Rasengan tomorrow."

"Knowing her, I wouldn't bet my life on it." Sakura said in a low voice.

"What?!" Screamed Naruto quietly. "Sakura! What's that supposed to mean?!" Sakura giggled to herself and walked out.

"Come on you." Sakura said. Naruto looked into the sleeping eyes of her daughter before leaving their children's room along with Sakura.

"Nee...san... Haru... Haruhi!" Yelled a very familiar voice. But despite the commanding voice, she refused to leave her dream world. Then, she felt a large splash whallop her face. The chill and the fright got her up immediately with a scream. She shivered intensely, to see the culprit is her brother: Tsukune, holding a bucket, which was once filled with water.

"You...little!" Haruhi yelled in frustration. But before she could reap her revenge on him, she looked around the room. The sunlight had entered their room, and she identified it as morning. "What time is it?!" Tsukune looked at the sun.

"Hmmmm...around half an hour 'till nine." He replied. Haruhi was shocked.

"How come you can tell the time with sunlight, you little twerp." Haruhi said with spite in her voice. But nonetheless, widened her eyes in shock from the time. "I've only got half an hour 'till my exam!" Quickly, she got up from her drenched bed, dried herself and dressed into her orange dress. "Why didn't you wake me, idiot?!"

"I tried to. You sleep like a rock, Haruhi nee-san. Pouring water was my last resort, if I didn't want mom punching me to the Academy." Tsukune replied.

"Grrrr! I'll deal with you later!" She yelled before leaving her room. Haruhi raced out of her home, past her mother, who wished her luck. She raced through the streets of the Hidden Leaf, trying to defeat time. It was often a half an hour walk to the Academy, without shortcuts. Now she was running and taking all shortcuts possible. When she arrived at the Academy, she seen her classmates gathered outside in the playground, where Iruka was registering them. It was only when he called out: "Uzumaki Haruhi." that she decided to use force. By creating a Shadow Clone to throw herself into the group.

"Here and ready, sir!" She called in a tired voice.

"Let's hope your training is as better as your timing." Iruka commented. They formed a line outside the examination hall, in alphabetical order, so to be tested. Haruhi was last in line, not just because of her status as "class clown", but her surname came last alphabetically. Many of her colleagues left, carrying with them a blue headband, with a steel plate at the center, with the Leaf symbol carved on it. She grew ever more jealous with each passing student. Eventually, she heard Iruka once more.

"Haruhi. You're up." He called. Before she entered, Iruka stopped her, by placing his hand on her shoulder. "I know I'm not supposed to pick sides during exams, but I hope you pass." Haruhi was stunned by this comment.

"...Why? You hated me. Everytime I do something wrong you take great pleasure in punishing me. Or is it just to get rid of me?" Haruhi said shockingly. Iruka smirked.

"No, no. I admit I get headaches when trying to cope with you. But truth be told, I enjoyed it when you caused trouble." He replied. "It always made me think back on Naruto when he was little. Also, I made your dad a promise." Iruka thought back to the time when Haruhi was just a baby. Iruka had visited the Uzumaki family.

"My, she's a beautiful baby, Naruto." Commented a younger Iruka, looking into the sleeping child of Haruhi in Sakura's arms.

"Definately." A still-teenaged Naruto replied. "I know she'll grow up to make her father proud."

"I'm sure the sight of her makes you proud already." Iruka said happily.

"Yeah." Naruto said with a smile. "You will look after her, right?"Iruka replied with a mumble. "I know that she'll cause trouble, like me, once she reaches the Academy. Vandalise the Hokage monuments. Create even more pervy Jutsu. I know I'm asking a lot. But try and put up with her." Iruka smiled.

"I will. That's a promise. I've already got experience handling one Uzumaki." Joked Iruka.

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Whined Naruto, placing his arms behind his head. Naruto spoke too loud, that Haruhi woke up, and started crying. Sakura gave Naruto an evil glare. Iruka couldn't help but laugh at Naruto's predicament. Back in reality, Haruhi was gobsmacked with that story.

"I-I never knew." Haruhi said looking down in remorse. "Iruka-Sensei, I'm so, so sorry to cause you all that trouble." Iruka nonetheless continued smiling.

"Don't be. It was always a pleasure working with my student's daughter." Iruka replied. Haruhi looked up to him and smiled. "Now you better hurry. You can't expect them to wait forever." Haruhi forgot about the exam, and panicked.

"Oh, right. Thank you, Iruka-Sensei. And...thank you for putting up with me." She said quickly at the start and happily at the end.

"My pleasure."

Haruhi walked forward into the exam hall. There were four ninja-like proctors there, most likely Chuunin, sitting at a long oak table, and a wide space, presumably to perform the exam. Before she could get herself confortable with her surroundings, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Called one of the proctors. And to Haruhi's surprise, came her father. The four proctors looked in amazement to see Naruto.

"Ughh...Naruto-sama." They said, while bowing their head. His reputation as a ninja had certainly made him famous, even if he wasn't Hokage yet.

"Please, I don't need the bowing." Said Naruto. The four stood up straight.

"What brings the Hokage's successor to this girl's exam?" Another proctor asked.

"She's my daughter. And I thought I'd drop in to see how she does." Naruto explained. Haruhi jumped in her father's way.

"Ummm...that's okay, daddy. I know you've taken time out of doing big ninja business to be here, but I'd prefer it if I were alone. Ha-ha-ha." She said quickly and less formerly.

"You don't expect me to turn up to the Hokage and say "Sorry, but my daughter tossed me out", do you?" Naruto replied, with a laugh at the end.

"I....guess not." Haruhi said, still quite shocked at her father's sudden appearance.

"But...Naruto-sama. It's strict policy that nobody except the examinors and examinee are present. N-Not that we suspect you of supplying your daughter with cheats." Said one of the proctors.

"She doesn't need me, or the use of cheating." Naruto said. "Is watching your daughter make history such a crime?" Haruhi watched as Naruto kept his cool when dealing with the proctors.

"N-No." They said in unison. Naruto took a spare chair that was positioned in a far corner. Once Naruto got comfortable they began.

"Now, Haruhi Uzumaki, prepare yourself." Commanded one of the proctors. Before she could move, she heard a small crack of some sort, like the crack of glass. She peered to the nearby window, which had a tiny chip. Suddenly, the entire window shattered.

"W-What?!" yelled the four proctors in confusion. In amongst the shattering glass, they didn't notice that a figure had made it's way towards Naruto, and using a long katana, stabbed his shoulder. Naruto gave a grunt of pain, and coughed up some blood.

"Daddy!" Yelled Haruhi in worry. The attacker was a six foot tall giant of a ninja, wearing a long black jacket. Under them appeared to be many swords. His head-band was nowhere to be found, he possessed long black messy hair, looked to have many scars on his face, and most of all, he was standing in front of Naruto with a sword impaled in him. Haruhi was about to run into action, before the four Chuunin attempted to attack the assassin. Without a forward glance, he sent all the swords in his arsenal swirling at them, either cutting them deeply, or impaling limbs. All four were wiped out in seconds, either knocked unconscious or fatally wounded. Haruhi looked in in fear of what the assassin was about to do to her father, while gathering his swods together.

"You left your guard down." The man said with a growl. Naruto looked up at him with a serious face.

"Ughh...Katakuna! Famous Sword Rogue Ninja!" Naruto identified, trying to mask his pain. "You've been causing the Hidden Leaf a lot of trouble lately!"

"Heh! And it's only fitting that I cause trouble for the Hokage's successor!" The ninja named Katakuna growled. He removed his sword from Naruto, but before he could counter-attack with his impressive Hokage skills, he couldn't move. "Don't bother trying to attack! I've dipped my entire arsenal with a special substance which blocks out brain signals to the nervous system once it enters the blood! Put short, you can't move!" Naruto hissed.

"This isn't good!" He thought. Katakuna raised his sword, much to Naruto's insecurity.

"Now Die!!!" He yelled as he struck for Naruto's neck. Before the metal blade could meet it's mark, the possessor was thrown back by a powerful kick, familiar to Naruto.

"S-Sakura? No, hers is more stronger. Then who...?" Naruto asked in question. And to his surprise as well as worry: Haruhi was standing before him. "Haruhi! Don't just stand there! Run away!! This guy is dangerous and will kill you!"

"No way, dad!" Haruhi said with bravery. "Nobody messes with my father and gets away with it!" Katakuna jumped back up. "If you ever lay a finger on my dad again! I'll kill you!"

"Heh! You've got guts, kid! Not many people can touch me, let alone kick me! I'll make sure you regret that!" He said with anger.

"Your fight's with me! Leave her out of it!" Yelled Naruto, still numb with the poison.

"Don't think so!" Katakuna yelled. "The little dog bites at me, the big dog bites back!" He yelled. And just like before, he aimed all his swords for Haruhi. It made impact, but happened to be a Shadow Clone. "Shadow Clone, huh? All the more fun!"

"Over here!" Called Haruhi, he turned around to see Haruhi in the far side of the room from him. He smirked and extended the sword in his hand by over four times it's original length, and swiped everything in Haruhi's path, chairs and all. Haruhi made a desperate jump to avoid it. While in mid-air, Katakuna jumped to her level, and she was wide-open to his sword attack.

"Die!!" He yelled as he swung his sword.

"Haruhi!!!" Yelled Naruto. Haruhi looked in fright of the swords attack. With her bare hands, she slapped them both on the edge of the blade, trying not to get cut by it. She could feel the poisonous substance on her hand. The two landed and Katakuna was now trying to force the blade down onto her face. Desperately she tried to hold on.

"No use!" He said confidently. Taking one hand away from his first sword, he drew another from under his jacket. Haruhi gasped at this as the rogue ninja attacked her. The slash was successful, but the target was another Shadow Clone. "What?! Where is she now?! Huh?!" He looked frantically around. Haruhi appeared behind Katakuna, and attempted to kick him again, but he ducked and tried to stab her from under, but failed as it was another Shadow Clone. "Gaarghhh!!! Quit hiding behind your Shadow Clones, girl!!" It was after another three or four attempted attacks of Katakuna, that his slashes were becoming more rage infested. It was until, Katakuna finally punched her with such force, that his attacks cooled down. The punch was so hard that she was thrown back by the force and collided with the wall. She gave a weakened cough.

"Haruhi!" Yelled Naruto. She tried to get up, but was too weakened.

"Heh! You came a good way, kid! But face it...!" He yelled. Then he pointed a sword to Haruhi's neck. "You couldn't beat me in your wildest daydreams!" He rose his sword and attacked her. But it was yet another Shadow Clone. The real Haruhi was then seen far away behind Katakuna, accompanied with a second Haruhi, and preparing a Chakra ball.

"What're you doing, Haruhi?! You can't master that technique in just one night!" Naruto warned her, no longer playing.

"I know, dad." Haruhi said, while trying to keep her focus. "But, it's the only thing I have to beat him!" Her Chakra was starting to turn it into a ball.

"Give it more power!" Warned Naruto. Then, the ball started to glow even brighter than Naruto's Rasengan. But the rogue ninja didn't wait to be attacked. He charged straight for Haruhi, who was still preparing it.

"Do it..." Haruhi thought. The menacing figure approached ever so closer. "Do it!" It was until Katakuna was directly in front of her that she began to panic. "Do it!!!" Katakuna's sword was ready to pierce her, then she felt a surge in her body, that gave her hope. "Now!!!"

"Rasengan!!!" She called out, and before the sword could touch her pure skin, she blasted the ball of Chakra into Katakuna, blasting him backwards, and destroying the proctor's table. Haruhi was breathing frantically, before dropping to her knees.

"Incredible." Thought Naruto. "She did it! She beat a ninja many of my squads had trouble scratching. And all with a technique I had doubts of her learning." He watched Haruhi, who was still breathing frantically. "Haruhi, you're amazing." But despite Haruhi's best effort, it was in vain. Katakuna stood up from the destroyed desk, weakened but alive. Haruhi ran a chill through her spine, and Naruto looked on worriedly.

"That was...a good one, kid! Too bad! YOU DIE!!!" He yelled. He ran towards Haruhi, sword in hand and ready to strike her down.

"I got no more Chakra left for a Shadow Clone!" Haruhi thought in panic. "My body's still too weak from his attacks to dodge! It's finished!" The rogue ninja was now inches away from her, raising his sword, he prepared a finishing blow to the weakened girl. Haruhi closed her eyes to get the pain overwith. But fortunately for her, it was over for Katakuna. The sword was stopped by none other than Naruto with his left hand.

"Daddy!" Screamed Haruhi in joy.

"You!" Katakuna growled. "You're supposed to be paralyzed."

"That's what happens when you marry the best Medical-Ninja in the Leaf Village." Naruto said in spite. "I learned to control my Chakra to drive any poison into any unwanted part of my body. Such as your poison, I transferred it all to my right arm." Haruhi pushed Naruto's right arm, to see it swing lifelessly. "But I don't need two arms to take out a scumbag like you!"

"Heh! You talk big!" Katakuna growled. He removed yet another sword from his jacket and was ready to attack Naruto. But befrore the blade could lower, Naruto made the first move. By using his Rasengan on the attacker's chest, blasting him onto the wall, and practically knocking him stone dead.

"Nobody messes with my family and lives to tell the tale." Grunted Naruto. He gaped and fell to his knees.

"Daddy!" Haruhi yelled in exhaustion.

"I'm fine, honey. Just a little tired from all the Chakra circulating." Naruto assured her. "Hey, you did brilliant out there." Haruhi gasped and smiled. "If it weren't for you and your bravery, I'd be done for." With all his strength, he crawled over to Haruhi and gave her a soft hug, at least, with his left hand. "I love you, Haruhi. And I wouldn've asked for a better daughter." Haruhi drew a tear of happiness.

"Thanks, dad." She said with a small sniffle. They separated and Naruto clenched his shoulder.

"Hey, you wouldn't know any of Sakura's healing techniques, would you?"

"Oh, ummm...I seen mom do it before whenever I hurt myself. I don't know how it works, but I can give it a try." But before she could memorize the hand seals to performing the healing techniques, the doors banged wide open to reveal Sakura rushing to Naruto and Haruhi's aid.

"Naruto!! Haruhi!!" She screamed in panic. Then she grouped them all together in a heart-warming hug. "I came as soon as I heard! I was so worried about you!" She let by tear after tear as she cried in happiness that her husband and daughter weren't dead.

"We're fine. But you should thank Haruhi here. She saved me." Naruto said, while returning the hugs. Sakura then focussed her efforts in hugging Haruhi.

"I'm sorry I doubted you, honey." She said tear at a time.

"It's okay, mom." Haruhi said happily.

"But how'd you find out about us?" Naruto asked.

"Iruka warned me." Sakura said, while wiping away her tears. "He seen you being attacked and called reinforcements." Naruto peered over Sakura to see Iruka giving a thumbs-up.

"Hey Iruka!" Called Naruto. "You don't think you can contact the Interrogation Bay and have Ino and her guys see what they can find in this guy, can you?"

"Sure thing, Naruto!" Said Iruka, while running to send a messenger to Ino.

"But...what about me?" Asked Haruhi. "What happens to me now? I'm all out of Chakra and I still haven't done the test."

"I beg to differ." Said an unfamiliar voice. It was one of the proctors attacked earlier, who was still conscious. Sakura waved for a group of Medical-Ninja to heal their wounds. "I saw the whole thing. The way you dodged the assailant's attacks was truly remarkable. The best I've seen today. So, I don't have any doubts presenting you..." Once his injuries were healed, he walked over to the destroyed desk, pulled out a lone headband, went over to Haruhi and tied the headband to her forehead. "...With this. You graduate." Haruhi felt the steel plate of the headband and smiled uncontrollably.

"I did it! I did it!!!" She screamed back and forth, while hugging her parents. Naruto and Sakura too smiled with pride, as their daughter was now a full-fledged ninja.
