Naruto's Next Generation

Chapter 1
Surprises

"I lead Squad 9. Inoyu Yamanaka, Shikachi Nara, and Choju Akimichi. I, Konohamaru Sarutobi, recommend all three of these Genin for the Chunin Selection Exams"

"I lead Squad 10. Minato Uzumaki, Koukata Inuzuka, and Saki. I, Hanabi Hyuga, recommend all three of these Genin for the Chunin Selection Exams"

"I lead Squad 11. Ryou Haruno, Nina Hyuuga, and Isamu Kamizuka. I, Kaede Yoshino, recommend all three of these Genin for the Chunin Selection Exams"

"Well Alright! That's What I'm talkin about" Naruto yelled. He was now the Hokage of Konoha and it was around that time of year again. Sakura slapped the Hokage on the back of the head.

"Naruto! If you don't stop acting like a little kid, I'll clobber you!" Sakura yelled. The other Ninja in the room sweat dropped while Naruto rubbed the back of the head.

"Fine then. As you know there will be a special Preliminary round to find out the weaklings, so to speak. I want no one tipping the Genin about this. How you choose to do it, is up to you" Naruto said.

Three Genin waited inside a booth at the Yakiniku Q restaurant. The 3 ninja made up the Ino-Shika-Cho formation. From the Yamanaka clan was Inoyu. He had blonde hair like everyone else in his clan except his hair was in a bowl cut with his bang covering his right eye. He was 5'5 like most of the guys his age. Inoyu was considered the leader of the squad but that still didn't change the way he was. He was a player, often getting any girl he wanted. He had most likely gotten that from his mother.

Sitting across the table from him was the members of the other two clans. Choju was from the Akamichi clan. He was overweight as usual but he knew to control his hunger. He didn't speak much, only to the people he really trusted. This was because he was bullied a lot when he was a child. His hair was short, brown, and messy. He was the same height as Inoyu but defiantly weighed more.

Next to him was Shikachi from the Nara Clan. She was really tomboyish, probably because she grew up not knowing her mother. Shikamaru never told her and they got in a fight over it. Since then, she's been living with Inoyu and his family. She was rowdy and liked to start fights. She had black hair did in a ponytail so it looked like a lop-sided pineapple.

"What's taking so long!?" Shikachi complained. "At this rate, the food will go rotten" Inoyu rolled his eyes.

"That's what you're complaining about? I'm missing my date with Katomi right now! What if she thinks I'm standing her up?"

"Don't worry" Shikachi said. "She never really liked you in the first place" she smirked.

"Not uh!" Inoyu replied. The Nara nodded her head. "Is this true, Choju?" Inoyu asked, looking at the quiet kid. He nodded too. "Oh man! Why didn't you guys tell me?"

"We didn't wanna break your little heart" Shikachi teased. Inoyu folded his arms.

"Well you guys did great" he said before the three of them broke out in laughter. A ninja appeared before them. They all stopped laughing but contained their smiles.

"Glad to see you guys are having fun" Konohamaru said.

"Glad to see you're finally here" Shikachi retorted.

"Calm down, I was busy"

"How does making out with Kaede-Sensei qualify as busy?" Inyou asked.

The Jonin sweat dropped. "Guys, gimme a break here. Choju come on, help me out" he pleaded. Choju ignored him and started putting the food on the grill. Konohamaru sighed while the Genin started laughing again.

'I swear' the man thought. "Actually I was recommending you three for the Chunin Exams but now I'm not so sure I want you to enter now"

The three looked at him with shocked faces.

"Yes!" Shikachi yelled. "This is the big break I've been waiting for!"

"Alright! When does it begin?" Inoyu asked.

"Here, take these Application forms and go to room 301 at the academy five days from now" Konohamaru said before disappearing with a "good luck!" The three ninja stared at each other, smiling.

"What you guys cheesing about?" Koukata asked, earning a frown from Shikachi, a small smile from Choju, and a high-five from Inoyu.

He was as cocky as ever and had the moves to back it up. Koukata of the Inuzuka clan stood at 5'7 and had crimson red fang tattoos on both of his cheeks. He had dark brown messy hair, just like his father. He wore a black jacket and black jogging pants. Beside him was his small black dog, Koku.

"Sup, what's the news?" Inoyu asked.

"Apparently, my squad and squad 11 are entering in the Chunin Exams. We're all meeting at the third training grounds. Are you guys commin'? The Inuzuka asked. His small black dog barked.

"Yeah, we could swing by, but only after our lunch" Inoyu said.

"Mind if I join" Koukata asked, already sitting beside Inoyu.

"What's taking them so long?" Nina asked, throwing a kunai at a hay-stuffed dummy, nailed to a tree. It hit the target dead on. Her dark brown hair was tied back into a ponytail that reached her back mid-way. The iris and pupil in her eye were barely visible as they were a milky white color symbolizing she was in the Hyuuga Clan. She wore a long-sleeved black blouse with a high collar and gray fastener and edges paired with similarly colored, puffy pants.

"Who knows?" Ryou replied punching another dummy on a stick that sent it flying across the field.

Isamu yelled as he got attacked by the dummy. "What was that for?!" he asked pushing the doll off of him.

"Sorry!" Ryou yelled. He had the strongest attacks out of academy graduates. He'd gotten it from his parents, Rock Lee and Sakura Haruno. Although he still had better chakara control than most of the ninja in his village, including some of the Jonin. His short pink hair blew in the wind, some of it barely hiding his green eyes. He wore a red T-shirt with a white circle on it and had on black pants. His dark brown leather gloves protect his fist from getting damaged.

Nina rolled her eyes. "Isamu! Get off of you lazy butt and come train with us!" the girl yelled.

"No!" Isamu responded.

"If you don't get over here, I'll 8 Trigrams 64 Palms your face!"

Isamu jumped up like his butt was on fire and dashed toward the girl. "Please don't!"

Nina smiled with a "That's more like it" while Ryou laughed.

Suddenly, three ninja jumped out of the forest. They were all banged up and breathing hard. Inoyu, Koukata, and Shikachi fell to the ground. Squad 11 ran over.

"Are you alright?" Ryou asked the three. He was the medical ninja of his group.

"Don't worry about us" Inoyu coughed out.

"Yeah, they're coming" Shikachi whispered.

"You guys have to run, now" Koukata said.

"No way!" Nina yelled.

"Why'd they come after you guys" Isamu asked?

"They said they were gonna eliminate us so we wouldn't enter the Chunin Exams" Shikachi responded. She was wheezing now.

"Here, let me give you some help" Ryou said.

"NO!" Koukata said. His voice was hoarse. "You guys need to go, forget about us" Ryou backed back a little.

"Where's Choju?" Isamu asked.

"He stayed behind to hold them off" Shikachi said. "He told us to get away"

"Which we barely did" Inoyu joked.

Ryou, Nina, and Isamu looked at each other. They nodded, exchanging mental thoughts with each other. Two ninja jumped out of the trees. They had on headbands with a lantern symbol.

"Run!" Koukata yelled, barely making it to their ears.

"As if!" Nina said.

"Yeah, we can take them!" Isamu chimed in.

Ryou fixed his gloves. "Bring it"

The two enemy ninja smiled mischievously. "You guys should've listened to your dumb friends" One of them said.

"Misamo, Take care of them, will ya?" the other guy said.

Misamo walked forward. He slammed his hands on the ground and said "Earth Style Barrier: Earth Dome Prison!"

The ground rose around the three ninja, trapping them in a mud dome.

"What the" Isamu said looking around.

"Interesting" Ryou said. "Nina use your Byakugan. I need you to check something out for me"

"Alright, Byakugan!" On the sides of her eyes, her veins showed. "Incredible" she whispered. "It seems our chakra is getting absorbed by the wall"

"How is that incredible?" Isamu whined.

"Just as I suspected. If that's the case there must be a weakness. " Ryou finished.

"There is. My father told me about this Jutsu when he was on one of his missions. The weak spot is on the opposite side of where the user is, which is right…-" she three a kunai at a piece of the wall "-There"

"So all you have to do is go to the opposite side! Wow, you guys are geniuses" Isamu cheered.

Ryou cracked his knuckles through the gloves. "Isamu, lend me some chakra"

"Fine" Isamu put his hands on Ryou's back as he poured some of his Chakra into Ryou.

"Thanks, that'll do" Ryou said, He pulled his fist back and punched the wall. The spot where Ryou punched flew off. The three walked out.

"Im-Impossible" Misamo whispered. The three Genin now faced the intruders.

"We're not going down without a fight" Ryou reassured.

"Then come and get it" Misamo said. The other guy was standing on top of a Stone pillar watching the fight. "I don't know how you guys did itm but I'm not gonna let y'all get away with it!"

"Nina, Isamu, take care of that guy. I'll get mister high and mighty" Ryou said. "Squad 11, move out!"

"Isamu, back me up" Nina said pulling out a scroll. "Dragon bomb!" she yelled as she opened the scroll. A red fiery dragon launched itself at the enemy ninja. Misamo jumped just as it hit the ground, sending him higher into the air from the explosion.

"Isamu!" Nina yelled.

"I'm on it!" Isamu replied. 'Ram-Tiger' he thought. "Water style: Syrup Trap!" Isamu spit out a stream of sticky liquid covering a 5-meter radius.

Misamo, unbeknownst to the Jutsu, landed up straight in it. He tried to move.

"What!" he yelled.

Nina ran up to the man by emitting chakra from her feet, she was able to walk on the substance without getting caught. Misamo tried to form a hand seal but time seamed to flow slower as Nina took her stance.

"I won't kill you but…" she trailed off. "Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms!" Two palms, four palms, eight palms, 16 palms, 32 palms"! she yelled as she sent Misamo flying into a rock, knocking him unconscious.

MEANWHILE
Ryou POV

The man stood on top of the stone pillar. If he wasn't gonna bring the fight to me, I was gonna bring the fight to him. I charged at the rock putting all my force into my punch. The stone pillar crumble and the man did a back flip off of it. I jumped in the air, knowing he would be defenseless. I knocked him silly. He flew into a rock.

Normally I would have cheered right about now, but he went down too quickly. He stood up, smiling. A bone crunching sound was heard. I looked at him like he was a freak. Two sharp bones pushed out of his skin. I swallowed down a baby barf. What was this guy?

The man gripped the bones. "My name is Marro, of the Kaguya Clan" the man said.

"What!" I yelled. That clan went instinct years ago! That is if I remember correctly. Although, I do remember Udon talking about it during the academy. But if one member survived, then how did no one noticed. OR maybe someone kept him a secret. But if that's the case, why is he attacking Hidden Lean Ninja.

He looks at me like I'm his next victim. "Let's play, shall we?" He launched at me with amazing speeds. "A thousand needle Strikes" he yelled. I jumped to the right as the tree that was behind me, got stabbed a thousand times, literally.

He threw one of his bones right at me. I tried to dodge it but it ended up cutting my check. It stung. I put one of my hands to my check. Green chakra leaf my hand and started to heal the small wound. This guy would definitely be tough. I looked over seeing Nina jab her victim with her gentle fist. Hopefully they would come to my assistance.

He threw the other bone at me. I jumped into the air, knowing I fell right into his trap. As quick as a whip, he shot another long bone at me. I reached into my pouch and threw a shuriken at the bone. The white substance sliced through it. Not wasting anytime, I put all of my weight on my lower body which allowed me to flip, dodging the bone in the process.

When I landed I was greeted by a punch that sent me flying across the field. Man, this guy never gave up.

END RYOU POV

"Ryou!" Nina cried as she rushed over to the pink haired boy.

"This is weird" Ryou said, getting up.

"How so?" Isamu asked.

"Well the whole charade about Inoyu's squad and Koukata, was just a hoax"

"Probably something, the grown-ups came up with in an attempt to scare us out of the Chūnin exams" Nina said.

"Yeah I thought so too, but I didn't think they would take it this far" Ryou said.

"Well maybe the plan got messed up somehow by these losers" Isamu said.

"You could be right" Nina replied. "Now that I think about it, their heads bands hand a lantern on them. Anyone know what that means?"

"Sorry" Isamu said. "I didn't take headbands 101" he joked.

"This is not the time to be joking" Ryou barked. "Someone should go and get some hep"

"I'll do it" Isamu volunteered. "I'll be quick"

"Alright, be safe" Nina warned as Isamu jumped off into the trees.

"Where do you think you're going?!" Marro yelled shooting a bone after the boy. Nina jumped in the air and knocked the bone down with a swing from her hand.

"We're your opponents now" Nina said as she and Ryou took a stance.

"Poor little ol' me" Marro teased. "Two against one is hardly fair"

"Be careful, Ryou. His chakra is extremely high" Nina said. Ryou nodded.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Marro yelled. About 50 copies of him were made.

"Damn" Ryou cursed. "I could hardly take care of one of them. Now we have about fifty!"

"Calm down" Nina said. "We can't get worked up over this. Tell you what, whoever takes out the least shadow clones has to treat the winner to something of their choice. Deal?" Nina asked.

"I can live with that" Ryou responded. "Ready"

"Set"

"Go!" The both charged at the crowd.

MEANWHILE
ISAMU POV

I jumped through the trees. Nina would have made it to help faster with her Byakugan and her speed but I knew she would be needed way more at the battle field. I guess that makes us even. I jumped onto the roofs of the buildings. Out of the corner of my eye I see the real Inoyu, Choju, Koukata, and the hot Shikachi. I jumped down and run towards them.

"Guys! I can assure you this is not a Genjustu! Ryou and Nina are in trouble!"

Koukata frowned. "Dude, You just made this seem like it is a Genjustu"

"Dude I don't have time for this bullshit! Just go help them!" I yelled. Out of the corner of my eye I see Shikachi smirking.

"Where are you going?" Inoyu asked me.

"To go get help. You guys need to move now! That guy their facing is not normal" With that I start heading towards the Hokage's office. Thank kami they're having a meeting with all the Jonin today, am I right?

END ISAMU POV

Nina and Ryou pounded away at the shadow clones. Nina was winning as she was more flexible while Ryou on the other hand was more direct.

"This is getting old" Nina complained.

"Getting tired already, princess?" Ryou yelled. Nina smirked.

"Well this princess is about to show you how it's done!" she yelled. "Boost me up" Nina ran towards Ryou and jumped. Ryou caught her foot and with his enormous strength launched her in the air like a rocket.

Nina pulled out two scrolls and activated them. "Weapon control: Tensasai"! Ryou's eyes widened and he ran away from the crowd as fast as he could. Hundreds no Thousands of Weapons appeared and rained down impaling the shadow clones. The smoke blew away by the wind leaving a white bone dome.

Ryou walked up to Nina, who had just fallen from the sky, amazed. Nina smiled.

"I think you owe me a date" Nina cheered. Ryou just smiled to himself.

"I think I do"

"Play time's not over yet" Marro said retracting the bones into his body that made up the dome.

"Now that's gross" Nina said.

"Tell me about it" Ryou replied.

"Not to worry, I still and will kill both of you!" Marro yelled.

"Oh really?" a voice came. Nina, Ryou, and Marro looked over at the source of the sound. It was Inoyu, Shikachi, Choju, and Koukata.

Marro stared in disbelief.

"Sorry we're late" Inoyu said as he and the others stood by Nina and Ryou.

"Better late than never" Ryou said.

"Give up!" Nina yelled. "There's no way you'll survive now!"

"I suppose you're right. Although, I think I've given them more than enough time to prepare" Marro said.

"Who is he talking about?" Shikachi asked.

Marro threw down a purple smoke bomb.

"He's getting away!" Ryou yelled.

"Wait a minute. Where are Minato and Saki?" Koukata asked.

"Oh no" Nina said. "They went into the forest!"

BOOM!

A cloud of smoke flew into the air from the other side of the forest.

"Nooo!" Koukata jumped into the trees where the explosion came from.

"Koukata!" Inoyu yelled.

Isamu jumped out of the trees with an AnBu member.

"What was that explosion?" the AnBu member asked.

"I don't know but I'm going after Koukata" Inoyu said jumping into the tress. Shikachi and Choju followed.

Isamu sighed. "Nina where's Ryou?"

Nina groaned after looking around. "He must've gone after Marro" Nina said. "I'm following" Nina jumped into the trees in pursuit of her crush. The AnBu member followed. Isamu stood there alone.

"I guess someone should go get more help but I'm not making a second trip. Nina! Ryou! Wait up for me!" Isamu yelled following his team.
