Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
Sounds of punches and kicks could be heard on the training grounds of area 14 around noon. Naruto, test had begun and Naruto was currently trading blows with his sensei which made the old hermit shocked. Blows for blows Naruto dodged at the same time assaulted him. Jiraiya caught one of his student's fists and was about to counter attack but what he saw was unexpected.
Naruto smirked at his sensei as he caught his left fist. Pulling his right fist back, he gathered an amount of wind swirling around his palm. He then thrust his hand and called out his technique. "Fuuton: Gale Palm!" Jiraiya crounched down as the wind from Naruto's hand roared. He tried to uppercut Naruto.
'Damn, he has quite a unique fighting style... but, it doesn't match the-' Jiraiya's thought was cut off as he felt something to Naruto's foot. Naruto enchanced his foot with lightning and countered his sensei's counter attack. Jiraiya pushed Naruto back from the attack connected which only managed to graze Jiraiya because of the static. He then bounced back to distanced himself from his student. Jiraiya narrowed his eyes at his student.
' Tsk. He almost got me there, so he can manipulate both lightning and wind huh? Let's take it up a notch!' Jiraiya thought as he made a strings of handsigns. He then shouted out his technique. "Doton: Earth Dragon Jutsu!" Suddenly, a dragon made of earth roared towards Naruto. Naruto then shouted out his technique. "Fuuton: Daitoppa!" A barrier of wind stopped the dragon in its tracks and crumbled it into dust. Naruto smirked and made a cross- shape handsign and called out his signature technique. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" several poofs were heard as hundreds of Naruto appeared around Jiraiya, making him shocked.
'What? How can a mere genin summon a forbidden A- rank Jutsu?' Jiraiya thought as he went into a defensive signalled his clones. "Earth Fire Wind, formation Octa!" The clones nodded as they went to an octagon formation around Jiraiya which he is wondering what they are up to while on a defensive position. The Original Naruto shouted as he charged. The clones on the border of the formation made a string of handseal in sync with each other and all shouted out. "Doton: Mud Wall Technique!" eight large walls rose up the ground blocking all escape routes except from above blocked. The other clones, including the original, jumped from wall to wall of their technique at the same time shooting a couple of shurikens at their sensei. The clones reached at the peak of the wall and jumped high, they made a string of handseal and all of them shouted. "Katon: Grand Fireball Technique!" Multiple large fireballs burst forth from the sky to Jiraiya at a slow pace. 'He can do a fire and earth release too? Unbelievable!' Jiraiya was shocked but smirked as he dodged the last of the shurikens thrown.
'This is good, but this won't do if that's the speed of the fireball...' He thought as he was about to make a string of handseal only to seal the original smirking from behind the fireball.
"Don't underestimate me, Sensei..." He quickly made a string of handseal and held out his hands, both palms outstretched and has a seal attached with "Synchronization" kanji written on them. He then shouted. "Special Fuuton: Double Wind Bullet!" Two wide wind bullets shot out of his palms and into the fireball increasing the fireball's speed into a comet, changing the fire's color into white. Jiraiya's eyes went wide.
'Shit!' Jiraiya then substituted himself quickly, replacing him with a log. The fireball went into contact with the ground creating a huge crater at the center of the field. Jiraiya landed beside the crater, armed and ready for any attack that would strike.
'How the hell can a mere wannabe genin enhance a fireball with a wind release? It would take years of training to reach that level of skill!' He mentally screamed. Suddenly, he felt a tremble in the ground and small influx of chakra in it. He jumped up as a pair of hands came out of the ground. While in mid air, he shot a couple of shuriken to the clone at the ground, making poof out of existence. Jiraiya then pulled his hair as he felt Naruto's clones approaching from all around. Jiraiya shouted his technique. "Needle Jizo!" He wrapped his entire body with his hair as he landed making the army of Narutos that charged in with their fist stretched while falling from the sky, poof out by the needles of hair that Jiraiya made.
'Whew... that's a close one... his plan is ingenious!' Jiraiya looked into the horizon. 'Too bad time's almost up...' He thought sadly as he stood. "Naruto, Time's up. Come here." Naruto appeared in a swirl of leaves at the opposite side of him, smiling at him making Jiraiya intrigued.
"I'm sorry Naruto you failed to get the bell..." He said as he reached for the bell in his waist only to feel nothing there. He looked at Naruto in surprised. He saw the bell dangling in Naruto's grasp. "How?" Jiraiya asked dumbfounded.
Naruto just smiled at his sensei. "Sensei, the moment you landed from my Doton: Head Hunter Jutsu, you were under a simple E- ranked genjutsu, which is Genjutsu: Minimal Chakra Suppression Technique which make me hide the smallest burst of chakra influx created as I emerged from the ground using the Mayfly Imitation seal since your technique does not protect you from underneath." He said smiling. Jiraiya was looking at Naruto like a gaping fish. A few moments later it turned into a full blown laughter.
"You truly are a prodigy!" He said making Naruto smile even wider. After a few moments of laughter, Jiraiya gestured Naruto to come near.
"I hereby proud to say with pride and honor that Naruto Uzumaki has passed my test to become a full fledged ninja and is worthy to receive the title, "Special Genin!" Congratulations." After saying that statement Naruto was silence for a moment, then jumped and screamed for joy to the top of his lungs.
"I'm a ninja now! I'm a ninja now! Yatta! One big step to becoming a hokage!" He said as pumped his fist to the air. He looked at his sensei and gave him a thumbs up "Believe it!" Jiraiya watched in joy as his godson rejoiced.
'You would be proud of him Minato, I'm sure of it...' He thought. Jiraiya called Naruto out and ordered him to seat.
"Ok Naruto, I will now explain the privileges of being a Special Genin as said earlier so don't interrupt me ok?" Naruto nodded. "Ok, being a Special genin signifies that you eligible to become a one of the elites of the village, what you only lack though is experience. Special genins have different... criteria to follow per se, what makes it unique is that you are not required to join the chuunin exams but rather, be a part of the exam with the role the hokage will give you. Now you're wondering how would you be promoted to chuunin, are you not? Well, the fact is that you just have to finish a number of missions in this list." He said as he pulled out a scroll. "The scroll states that the missions required are : 30 D rank, 30 C rank, 7 B rank and an A rank. You'll be promoted to special chuunin on the spot afterwards. The other privileges are that you have authority on chuunin security buildings around, that includes the information scroll on the data on every civilian. Now for the training schedule... Be here tomorrow 8 a.m sharp got that? That's everyday... By the way, how did you enhance the Fireball with a Wind release? It would take years to train for it." He asked Naruto.
Naruto showed his sensei his seal and smiled. "This is a synchronization seal, it's function is to connect each chakra pathway of two techniques without overpowering one technique that makes it extinguished. Since both techniques sends out the user's elemental chakra into forms, then by connecting the chakra pathway of both techniques makes user looks like he performed a single technique using two elemental chakra at the same time!"
Jiraiya was shock at the explanation of his student and smiled. "Well, your one unpredictable ninja brat, I never would've expected that. Well, I have to report this to Sensei, mind if I get one of those seal for study?" He asked. Naruto nodded and gave his sensei the seal. "Thanks, see ya!" He said as he disappeared in a swirl of leaves. Naruto stood there silenced in awe and excitement. He then scratches his back.
"Uhh... Time for a make over!" He said as he ran to the district.
(Council room)
Sarutobi was discussing to the council some political issues involving one Uzumaki Naruto.
"Sarutobi, I demand why you let that monstrosity come back here? You should've let him died in the forest!" Homura said angrily.
"Yes, Sarutobi, You should've or just kill him on the spot... He would make a useless ninja anyway, since you refuse to let him become a weapon." Danzo said in a gruff voice.
"Why are you criticizing a mere pup that didn't do anything to you? Heck, why chase him out the first place?" Tsume snarled at the council.
"I agree with Tsume- san, The child didn't do anything wrong you know, he just a normal citizen having a ferocious beast living in a seal in his body. He is not Kyuubi you know!" Inoichi reasoned.
Koharu was about to respond back when Sarutobi slammed his hand on the table.
"Enough! Naruto is still a citizen of Konoha and I demand that you don't badmouth about him here in this room!" Sarutobi said clearly angry. Jiraiya appeared in a swirl of wind seconds after that.
"Ah, Jiraiya- kun, glad you came, Naruto passed I presume?" He asked Jiraiya making him smile wide.
"Absolutely, he performed a level that far surpass any experience jonin in this village. Heck, he's quite a prodigy." He said smiling at his sensei, Sarutobi was relieved at the news and smirked at this.
"Jiraiya, thank you for the information, you are dismissed." Sarutobi said as Jiraiya nodded and disappeared in a swirl of leaves.
The council, curious about what they are talking about, asked the hokage. "May I ask, Hokage- sama, what are you discussing with Jiraiya- sama about?" Chouza asked.
Sarutobi looked at the council smirking. "Well, I'm proud to say that in a long time, one of our Genin finally took hold of the title. "Special Genin."" The council was surprised at the statement he gave.
"I-impossible! No one has ever passed that test since the day of the second Hokage! Who is this ninja, Sarutobi?" Danzo asked shocked. Sarutobi smiled at him.
"It's Naruto Uzumaki." Sarutobi said as he enjoyed the reactions unfolded on the table.
"Hokage- sama, Promoting a missing citizen of Konoha who didn't undergo basic education from the academy and was missing for 4 years! How can we trust this demon? And to this special title, no less! This is unacceptable!" Hiashi retorted. The council then rose to an uproar making Sarutobi annoyed.
"Silence! You ignorant people, I will not have my ninja be criticized in this room I said! He is still a civilian that went missing a few years back, I believe that he deserve his title and I trust him Hiashi! I had enough of this nonsense! As a special genin he entitled to answer to me and only me, are we clear? Good. Dismiss!" He said as he stormed out of the room leaving a shocked council.
Arriving at his office later, he smoked his pipe and looked out the window. He sighed and went vback at his desk. He got a profile of a certain Naruto Uzumaki and stamp him.
