The Story of Austin:
Chunin Exams
It was a cool, summer day in the Hidden Leaf Village. It was a busy afternoon for many people, but none so much as for the genin. Austin set off from his lonesome, boring house alone. He had no parents for they were killed by the Twelve-Tailed Chimera-Shark that had attacked the Leaf Village seventeen years ago. He set off for the Ninja Academy, where he and his friends and comrades would be assigned to a squad and jonin. He stopped in front of a red brick house. His friend Jasmine came running out of it. "Hey Austin", she said out of breath. "Thanks for waiting for me!" "No problem", he replied. Together, they walked to the Ninja Academy where the assigning ceremony would take place.
In front of them stood the Third Hokage, Sarutobi. "I will now assign each of you to a squad, but keep in mind, there is an uneven number of you so four of you will be on one squad. Tyler, Sai, and Clayton you are assigned to Kakashi Hatake. Hinata, Shino, and Kiba are assigned to Kurenai Yuhi. Ino, Choji, and Shikamaru are assigned to Asuma Sarutobi. Neji, Lee, and Tenten are assigned to Might Gai. Dawson, Paige, and Peyton are assigned to Yamato. Finally, Naruto, Sakura, Austin, and Jasmine are assigned to Minato Uzumaki. Now, everyone is dismissed!" Team Minato headed over to the Fields of Life. Naruto said, "So dad, I guess I'm on your squad!" "Naruto", he replied, "I've already told you, only call me Sensei or Minato." "Okay", he muttered. "Tomorrow", Minato continued, "The Chunin Exams will begin. You will fight the toughest ninja you've ever faced. I don't yet know whom you will be fighting, but I do know that the battles will be difficult. So, I want everyone to get a good night's sleep and eat healthy, okay? Dismissed!" The next day, Team Minato met up at the Fields of Life again before the Exams started. "Good luck you guys," he said before teleporting to the stands to watch the battles. The genin of Team Minato walked to the stadium where they would be fighting and stood in their places. The announcer, Genma, came out and announced the battles that would take place.
First Round Battles:
Tyler vs. Kiba Shikamaru vs. Austin Naruto vs. Paige
Sai vs. Shino Choji vs. Peyton Kin vs. Temari
Hinata vs. Clayton Dawson vs. Tenten Dosu vs. Gaara
Ino vs. Lee Neji vs. Jasmine Zaku vs. Kankuro
Tyler ended up beating Kiba. Sai defeated Shino. Clayton barely beat Hinata. Lee beat Ino across the stadium. Austin dominated Shikamaru. Peyton beat Choji and his rolls of fat. Dawson slipped by with an easy win. Jasmine crushed Neji. Paige beat Naruto after a long battle. Temari blew Kin away. Gaara literally crushed Dosu. Kankuro trapped Zaku and finished him off. But here's how the battles of Austin, Dawson, Paige, Peyton, and Jasmine went. By the way, Sakura had a first-round bye.
When the battle of Shikamaru and Austin began, Shikamaru trapped Austin in Shadow Possession Jutsu. Austin was stuck and couldn't move. Then, Austin's body disappeared in a white cloud of smoke. He reappeared behind Shikamaru and said, "Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!" Six balls of fire hit Shikamaru straight in the back and he fell to the ground. Austin stepped back and said, "Wind Style: Tornado Dust Storm Jutsu!" A huge, dusty tornado hurled itself at Shikamaru. He was trapped inside and couldn't see anything. He jumped out and was immediately caught in Austin's Mud Trap Jutsu. Shikamaru couldn't even move an inch. Austin wasn't done yet, though. "Water Style: Giant Vortex Jutsu!" A gigantic wave of water was sent at Shikamaru and hit him against the stadium wall. Austin quickly said, "Lightning Style: Lightning Wave Jutsu!" A burst of lightning energy was thrown at Shikamaru who was hit dead in the chest. Shikamaru fell to the ground. He was still alive, but was barely still breathing. Austin ran over to him to see if he was okay. He saw the extent of his injuries and started using Healing Jutsu. Some other medical ninja came to help and took Shikamaru to the infirmary. Genma announced, "The winner of the match is… Austin!" Minato was amazed by the power of Austin's jutsu. Everyone was amazed! How could he use all five of the elements? Then, they remembered, he's a jinchuuriki. He has the Twelve-Tailed Chimera-Shark that killed his parents sealed inside of him. And, yet again, the Fourth Hokage was his father. Austin went up to the stands and sat down by Minato. He wouldn't be fighting again until tomorrow.
The match between Tenten and Dawson was about to begin. Dawson called out, "Water Style: Water Bullet Jutsu!" Three balls of water were sent flying at Tenten. She dodged the first one, but the second one hit her in the face and the third got her in the left arm. Tenten struggled to get up and then yelled, "Ninja Art: Rising Twin Dragons Jutsu!" Hundreds of ninja tools flew at Dawson. Dawson said, "Water Style: Water Wall Jutsu!"The ninja tools hit the wall hard, but the wall didn't even budge. The tools all hit the wall and sank to the bottom. "Now time to finish this!" Dawson said. "Water Style: Triple Water Dragon Jutsu!" The three water dragons tracked Tenten down and hit her hard. She slumped to the ground unconscious. She was moved off the ground by the medical personnel, and Genma said, "The winner is Dawson!" After Dawson got off the field, the match between Naruto and Paige was about to start.
Paige immediately started a jutsu. "Earth Style: Great Mud River Jutsu!" A huge muddy river came out of nowhere and swept Naruto away. He got back on his feet and said, "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Hundreds of clones were made. Paige had no clue which was the real one. She yelled, "Earth Style: Stone Pillars Jutsu!" Giant pillars of sharp stone came out from beneath all of the Naruto's, and pierced them through the chest. After all the white smoke had faded, Paige could see that the real Naruto was hurt too! She went in to finish him off. She threw ten shuriken and kunai knives at him and saw him go "poof", and saw the white smoke rise up. She turned around but it was too late. Naruto was in the air with a Rasengan. He hit Paige directly in the chest with it, and she was sent flying to the other side of the stadium and hit the wall, leaving a huge crater in it. Naruto went to see if she was still conscious, for it was not a serious injury. She looked up at him and smiled. She threw some flash bombs and, for a moment, everyone was blinded. When the flash faded, Naruto looked around to see where she was. He had looked everywhere and didn't know where she was. Paige jumped up from the ground beneath Naruto and said, "Earth Style: Stone Sword Jutsu!" Her hand turned into a stone sword and she slashed Naruto across his back with it. He hit the ground. Genma came over and said, "The winner is Paige. She could barely believe that she had beaten Naruto. While Naruto was in the infirmary, Minato went to check on him. "Dad, I mean Sensei. I'm sorry I lost." Minato said, "You were just too reckless. When she smiled, you should have backed away. But instead, you were caught by her flash bombs. Also, when you looked around, you didn't look underground. You already knew she was an Earth Style user but still didn't bother with it. But, anyways, I'm proud of you. Not just anyone could use a Rasengan that looked as good as that one." Minato left the room and went back to the stands just in time to watch the battle between Choji and Peyton.
Choji wanted to finish the battle quickly. He was a good fighter, but his appetite for food got in the way. "Ninja Art: Partial Expansion Jutsu!" Choji yelled. His arms expanded to triple their normal size and he ran towards Peyton, swinging his arms. She kept dodging and was always on the tips of her toes. Eventually, she was hit in the side. She was sent tumbling to the ground. She got up and said, "Fire Style: Fire Whip Jutsu!" A whip of pure fire appeared in Peyton's hand and she swung it at Choji. It hit him in the legs and wrapped itself around his right leg. Peyton pulled hard, and Choji came flying at her. She threw a kunai knife with a paper bomb attached to it at Choji. There was an explosion. When the dust cleared, Choji got up. He said, "Expansion Jutsu!" Choji's whole body expanded three times the size of his regular body. Then he yelled, "Human Boulder!" Choji turned into a giant ball and rolled toward Peyton. She said, "Fire Style: Flaming Fists Jutsu!" Peyton's fists lit themselves on fire and she double punched Choji. He was sent flying into a wall and bounced into the trees. Genma checked on him and announced, "The winner is Peyton!"
Jasmine's battle against Neji was about to begin. Jasmine said, "Flower Style: Petal Whirlwind Jutsu!" The petals in the stadium rose up into the air and were sent flying at Neji. He tried to dodge, but they caught up to him and cut him all over his body. He got up and said, "Byakugan!" His eyes changed and he could now see Jasmine's chakra levels. He ran up to her, dodging all of her attacks. When he got close, he said, "Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!" He started jabbing Jasmine's chakra lines with his finger tips. Her chakra faded and she lost most of her energy. She tried to summon chakra for a jutsu. Neji said, "Give up. It's Hopeless!" "I'm not a quitter!" Jasmine said. Her body was suddenly covered in purple chakra. "Where is this chakra coming from?" Neji asked. "Let's just say, I have an inner being that can supply me with chakra," Jasmine said. "Now then, let's finish this hmmm? Flower Art: Flower Grab Jutsu!" The flowers all around the stadium grabbed onto Neji and held him still. "Water Style: Soaking Spray Jutsu!" A big spray of water soaked Neji. "Is that all you can do?" Neji asked. "I'm just getting started," Jasmine said. "Lightning Style: Lightning Shock Jutsu!" Jasmine's hand glowed with lightning energy. She thrusted her hand into Neji's chest. But Jasmine wasn't done yet. "Ninja Art: Oil Bath Jutsu!" Oil covered Neji's body. "Fire Style: Exploding Bombs Jutsu!" Balls of fire hit Neji's body and exploded. He was sent flying into the wall and fell to the ground, close to death. Jasmine ran toward him, and Austin jumped from the stands to join her. They both started healing him. He was seriously hurt. "I didn't mean for this to happen!" Jasmine cried. "I know," Austin said. "Your jinchuuriki chakra flowed out and you lost yourself in the battle." "I'm so sorry!" Jasmine sobbed. "I know you are," Austin replied. Neji started to regain consciousness. "Don't move Neji," Austin commanded. "You're still seriously hurt." The medical team came running out and picked Neji up. They then proceeded to carry him to the hospital. Genma announced, "Jasmine is the winner."
Minato called and emergency squad meeting later that evening. "Okay guys, we've got to talk right now. I've noticed that some of you have special chakra. What's that about? If you are a jinchuuriki, then just tell me. I already know that Naruto is one so it's okay." Jasmine said, "I am a jinchuuriki. I have the Eleven-Tailed Wolf-Viper inside of me. When I need to, I can call upon its power. That's why you saw the purple chakra flowing out of me, and that's also why my attacks were more powerful than I planned for them to be." Sakura spoke up, "I also am a jinchuuriki. Within me is the Ten-Tailed Chameleon-Leopard. My chakra is pink when I call upon its power." Naruto said, "Sensei, I'm going to tell them about me. I have the Nine-Tailed Fox sealed within me. My chakra flows out red." Finally, Austin spoke up. "I…. I have the Twelve-Tailed Chimera-Shark sealed inside my body. My chakra flows out white when I call upon its power, but when I start to lose control or take more power, my chakra turns black and tries to take me over. But, I've learned to keep it under control." "Wait a second," Sakura started. "Isn't the Chimera-Shark…." "The one who attacked the Leaf Village seventeen years ago, yes. My father was the Fourth Hokage at that time and sealed it inside of me to save the village. But, the cost of that jutsu…..was the death of my mother and father." "I'm so sorry," Sakura said solemnly. "Well, thanks everyone for getting that off your chests," Minato said. They all went their separate ways home and woke up early the next morning for the second round of the Chunin Exams.
When all the qualifiers arrived, Genma announced the matches. But first, he had the difficult job of getting everyone to quiet down. Doing that took about fifteen minutes in itself. Once everyone was finally quiet, Genma announced the second round battles.
Second Round Matches:
Tyler vs. Sai Clayton vs. Austin Dawson vs. Gaara
Jasmine vs. Kankuro Peyton vs. Temari Paige vs. Sakura
Tyler beat Sai in their battle. Sakura won against Paige. Peyton defeated Temari. Austin destroyed Clayton. Jasmine dominated Kankuro. Dawson barely beat Gaara. But here's how the battles went.
When the battle of Tyler and Sai began, they were staring each other down. Then Sai said, "Ninja Art: Beast Scroll!" Three snakes made of ink wrapped themselves around Tyler, holding him still. Sai ran towards Tyler, kunai in hand, trying to finish the battle. Tyler said, "Chidori Stream!" Bolts of lightning shot out of Tyler almost like a shield. It destroyed the snakes wrapped around his body and caught Sai too. Sai fell to the ground. Before even getting up, Sai used another jutsu. "Ninja Art: Ninja Beast Scroll!" This time, five ink lions charged out of the scrolls towards Tyler. Tyler pulled out some shuriken and threw them at the charging lions. It hit the first four head on, but the fifth saw what happened to its brethren and was smarter. It jumped into the air after Tyler had thrown all of the shuriken. It landed on his chest and knocked him to the ground, breathless. Tyler was pushing against the creature trying to bite at his throat. The beast gave up on getting his throat, and instead, bit down to the bone on his upper thigh. Tyler tried to not scream from the pain. He pushed one last time against the lion and, finally, it came off of his chest. He started charging up chakra for a final attack. Sai saw what was happening. He was not about to let Tyler release that chakra into attacks. "Ninja Art: Super Beast Scroll!" Two giant ink birds shot towards Tyler. Tyler jumped into the air and yelled, "Chidori Slash!" The lightning that he had built up into the palm of his hand was released in a quick burst of energy. It destroyed both of the birds and the lion, and knocked Sai off of his feet. Tyler charged up more energy. A huge amount of lightning energy was gathered into Tyler's palm. Sai was starting to get up. It was now or never for Tyler. "Chidori!" Tyler yelled. He charged at Sai with his hand outstretched. It hit Sai directly in the chest and sent him flying into the wall. Genma came out and announced, "The winner is Tyler!"
Austin's battle with Clayton was about to begin. Austin's strategy was to end it as quickly as possible. "Water Style: Water Drill Jutsu!" A drill of water formed around Austin's fist. Austin charged at Clayton. It hit him in the stomach and started to rotate, spinning Clayton around. Clayton was finally sent flying into the wall. The ground started shaking. Feathers fell down from the sky and everyone in the stadium, except for the ninja, fell asleep. "What's going on?" Austin asked. Minato teleported down to where Austin was. "I don't know," he answered. "Heh heh, my plan worked," a sinister voice rang out. "Look, he's on the roof!" Minato said. The Third Hokage and the masked man were on the roof standing in battle formation. "Who are you?" the Third Hokage asked. "Now, is that any way to treat and old friend, Sarutobi Sensei?" "No, it can't be….. Orochimaru!" "Oh, yes it can be, Sarutobi Sensei. I have come to seek my revenge on the Hidden Leaf Village." "If you want to take the village down, you have to get through me first." "That would be my pleasure!" Orochimaru answered. Orochimaru charged towards the hokage and he prepared to defend himself. The destruction of the Hidden Leaf Village had begun.
