Chapter 2: Prelims

~ Previously ~

What was unique about the figure is that he has golden blonde hair that seem to shine like the sun and three odd whisker marks, three on each cheeks, that's when it hit them like a of bricks, that person is none other than Uzumaki Naruto, a changed Uzumaki Naruto, more... badass

Before anyone else could speak, Naruto said "So, who am I fighting?"

~ Present ~

Everybody just stood there, gaping at the new appearance that the blonde is wearing after five days inside the Forest of Death, all girls in the area are blushing while some girls are openly drooling at his appearance while thinking 'That's what he's hiding under that orange Jumpsuit?'.

Before anyone could say anything about him, the Sandaime blurred from his spot only to be found hugging Naruto in a Grandfatherly kind of way, Naruto, taken by shock and surprise at how open the Sandaime is, didn't have time hug him back as he pulled away and took a step back to observe the blondes new appearance. The Sandaime raised his arm once more and Naruto, thinking that it was another hug, lifted his arms; only to have it hold his throbbing head as the Sandaime hit him with enough force to send a regular Chunin skidding a few feet. Before Naruto could complain, the Sandaime said "You stupid fool! Did you know how worried I was? I thought you died the first day you entered the Forest! When I heard the news that you didn't make it to the Tower this morning I thought I was going to have a heart attack! But now you appear here like nothing happened!" he end the heartfelt monologue with a sad voice as he hugged his Grandson, in all but blood, gently "Don't ever do that again" he finished gently.

Naruto, surprised at the outburst and the fact that he felt the pain of his throbbing head, 'Must be the 'Fist of Love' that I've read about in the books and Ace-Ojii's diary... Luffy-Ojii use to say how Nami-Baa-chan use to hit him... and he's made out of rubber', he idly thought. Returning the hug the Sandaime is giving him a soft smile while saying, in a tone that surprised everyone who knew Naruto "Gomenasai Jii-san, I didn't mean to make you worry... besides, there a lot of good coming out of my 'disappearance'..." the Sandaime gave Naruto a questioning look and Naruto, answering the unasked question, said "I'll tell you the complete details after the Exam... but I'll show you what I mean when I fight" he grinned at the thought of fighting someone.

The Sandaime, accepting the answer, let go of him and Shunshined towards the area where the Jounin Senseis are located, which is pretty much the front of the Arena, whilst Naruto made his way towards his 'Teammates', who are gawking at him since they thought he died... or Sakura did, Sasuke could care less about a clan-less dead last. Once he arrived, he ignored them and just stood there, also trying to ignore the hungry looks the female in the area are giving him; though he wasn't sure why.

Seeing that everyone is quiet, the Sandaime cleared his throat before continuing where he left of in the last chapter *Ahem* "Now, we are going to begin the match for the preliminaries, are there anyone who would like to quit now while it's early?" There was a raised hand to that questioned, that belonged to none other than Yakushi Kabuto. "Hmm, Hayate, who is that young man?" the Sandaime questioned a sickly looking Jounin who happens to be the Preliminaries Instructor.

Hayate searched through the list that he has of the Genins that passed the second part of the Exam and stopped when he looked at the picture of Kabuto "He *cough* is Yakushi Kabuto, Genin for three and a half years and is part of team 2. He seems suspicious" he whispered the last part so that only the Sandaime could hear. The Hokage nodded at the information and said "You may go Kabuto-san, good luck in the next Chunin Exams" the Sandaime said to Kabuto, to which he received a nod and a polite bow, what nobody noticed is that the Sandaime had discretely made hand signs to the hidden ANBU in the arena, where he told them to follow Kabuto and capture him if he does something out of the ordinary, in Ninjas point of view kind of way.

The Sandaime was about to continue with the Prelims but was halted by Hayate himself "Excuse me Sandaime-sama, *cough* not to be rude or anything but, if you would allow me to continue for you, it would be much appreciated, it is my part of the exams after all" he said

"Very well, you may continue" replied the Sandaime

The Jounin saluted before he walked in front of the Sandaime and addressed the competitors "All right, since there are an *cough* even number of candidates here, this exam will be a one on one battle between different teams. Please *cough cough* bring your attention to the big screen that will magically appear on top of the statue of the Shodaime's Hokage hand making a Tora seal" Hayate said, and just like he said, a big screen appeared, though not as magically as they expected, it just appeared when the wall 'opened' and the screen just whizzed out.

There was a silence for a second before the screen flashed and random names appeared in yellow LED lights. Once it stopped, Hayate called out the names "Will Sasuke Uchiha and *cough* Akado Yoroi remain in the arena while the rest *cough cough*and the Jounin Senseis head towards the upper level. I set up the ground rules for this, *cough* 1. You are allowed to kill, maim or even cut a limb of your opponent. 2. If one of the competitors is unable to battle, I will call the match. 3. I will intervene in the match when I see fit so don't go overboard *cough* please." With that, the other Genins went to the upper level balcony which is located at the left and right side of the arena, where the Jounin Senseis are there to great their team.

~ Up at the Balcony ~ With Team 7 ~

Naruto and Sakura made it to the top of the balcony, where Sakura took uncomfortable looks towards Naruto, his body to be specific. 'Oh My God! Is that really Naruto? He's, He's... an ADONIS!' before that disturbing thought made by the howler monkey could go any further, hi- her inner mind said 'Cha !I bet their all FAKE! Sasuke-kuns must have twelve packs if this sore loser has a six! Sasuke-kun is much hotter! CHA!' 'You're right' Outer Sakura agreed with her inner self. Once they arrived at the balcony, they saw Kakashi there, not reading his perverted orange book. 'Probably because he's worried about Sasuke' Naruto bitterly thought.

Once they arrive, Kakashi asked the question in everybody's minds "Naruto, what happened? Where's the orange Jumpsuit? Or the Happy-Go-Lucky attitude?... you're... calm" Kakashi said... a bit awkwardly at the end because he's not used to seeing the hyperactive blonde being so calm about... anything. All he got for a reply was a blank look and a "I got my secrets, Kakashi" to which Kakashi was not happy about that reply and said "Now listen here GENIN" emphasizing the 'Genin' remark "You are my student and as such I should get res-" he stopped when he noticed that Naruto is... sleeping "DONT SLEEP WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!" Kakashi screamed, which gained the attention of others in the area, as they were now looking at Naruto, who has woken up in a startle before Naruto said "Huh, Urgh... what? Did you say something?" resulting in Kakashi's face fault due to having his own excuse against himself, and caused Gai and Lee to scream "GAAH! MY ETERNAL RIVAL! YOU HAVE PASSED ON YOUR HIPNESS TOWARDS YOUR STUDENT; JUST AS I HAVE PASSED MY FLAMES OF YOUTH TOWARDS MY ADORABLE LEE!" Screamed Gai, as Lee screamed "YOSH! I SHALL NAME THEE! UZUMAKI NARUTO! MY ETERNAL RIVAL! LET US BOTH BASK IN THE ETERNAL FLAMES OF YOUTH MY ETERNAL RIVAL!" Only to realize that Naruto has fallen asleep, yet again, at some point during the commotion; which caused them to scream at the Hip attitude that Naruto is currently showing. Everybody in the arena who are not familiar with Gai's and Lee's antics, thought that they were Nut-Jobs and should be left alone or get dragged into... that, while other who does sweat dropped, mostly at Naruto, for being able to sleep at such a situation.

Gai and Lee were about to go on a rant of various bone-breaking exercises that seem impossible to accomplish, but was cut off by the coughing fit of Gekko Hayate, as he looked at them with a lazy, sick look and said "Umm... not that I want to interrupt or anything but, *cough cough* the Prelims are beginning and you distracting the competitors". Which he received a "Gomenasai" from both Gai and Lee as they bowed their heads in an animated kind of way.

Once that was settled, Hayate said "Alright, now that that's settled, let's begin the match, *cough* HAJIME" he screamed as he moved his right hand in a vertical cut like motion, as if he's cutting a rope with his hands. Once the competitors on the arena heard the 'Go', they rushed at each other with Kunais in their hands and clashed in the middle, though Yoroi's right hand seem to glow an eerie blue, before he grabbed the Uchiha's head and said "Well, getting past your defence is easier than I thought. Hehehe, a few more seconds and everything would be over".

While Yoroi was grabbing the Uchiha in the head, said Uchiha was thinking 'Grrh... My strength, something's happening, this all started when he touched-"his train of thoughts ended when realization came upon his face like a ton of brick 'He's draining my chakra'. Once the Uchiha figured this out, he gave a hard kick towards Yoroi's gut, which made Yoroi let go of the Uchiha, who skidded a few feet back and stopped in a crouch. The Uchiha then thought 'I can't get close to him without getting my chakras drained, and I can't use any jutsu or the seal would react, what should I do?' he questioned himself, before an idea came into his mind. With that, the Uchiha rushed towards the charging Yoroi and kicked him under the chin, using the move he copied from Lee during his (Sasuke's) beat down, and launched Yoroi into the air; where Sasuke appeared behind him in a blur and delivered several strong kicks, and ended with a heel drop right at the middle of his stomach as he cried 'Lion's Barrage'. After which the seal on his neck reacted to the usage of miniscule amount of chakra and physical movement, since it's still brand new and hasn't adjusted yet to its new 'body'.

~ Up at the Balcony ~

Gai and Lee had solemn looks that the Uchiha has used something that took Lee months of brutal training and hard work to accomplish, only for it to go down the drain as the Uchiha manage to copy it and perform it flawlessly at his first try, that eye of his is really a kill joy.

Naruto, who has woken up during some point of the match, has a deep frown adorning his whiskered face as he observed his 'Teammate' took some ones hard work and shoved it up their ass while continuously grinning and have an 'in your face' look glued to his face. "Well that's pretty much predictable, copying some ones work and using it as his own, somebody should do something about this" he said, gaining the attention of his Sensei, Gai and Lee, as they never thought he would make such a comment about his 'rival' and 'teammate'. But in Gai's and Lee's case, they never thought that the blonde would care of such trivial things; they barely knew each other. Gai was the first to reply as he said "I thank you for your concern towards my cute Lee, but there is nothing we could do, and even if we did, the Civilian Council will just let the Uchiha go and probably force others to show their Jutsu so that he could copy it" he finished solemnly, Lee, feeling that he should say something, said "It's okay my Eternal Rival, He may have copied something that took me months of work but that should not put me down! I shall train harder until I SURPASS YOU NARUTO-KUN!" he finished with the good guy pose, as Naruto started blankly at him and asked "Eternal Rival? What are you talking about?" causing those who were listening to face fault and Lee to scream "YOSH! YOUR HIP ATTITUDE MIGHT BE STRONGER THAN EVER NARUTO-KUN! BUT WORRY NOT, I SHALL USE THE POWER OF YOUTH TO BANISH THOSE HIPNESS AND BRING ONE MORE CANDIDATE TO THE BROTHERHOOD OF YOUTH!" followed by "SUCH A NOBLE CAUSE MY CUTE PUPIL! AND DONT WORRY! I SHALL HELP YOU ACCOMPLISH THIS GOAL AND BRING KAKASHI TO THE BROTHERHOOD TOO! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! LEE!" screamed Gai

"GAI-SENSEI!"

"LEE"

"GAI-SENSEI"

"LEE"

At which the teacher and student began to cuddle up after the second 'LEE', causing the spectators to watch the horror of seeing two men wearing skin tight green spandex, under the sunset in the beach. Naruto, who was the closest to the duo, could only look with wide eyes at such a daring, intimate and... disturbing display in front of him. Still having his eyes glued to the monstrosities that is the hugging duo on the unbreakable Genjutsu, he spoke in a calm whisper, though that does not hide his new fear of spandex's and Genjutsu, to Kakashi "I'm Scared". To which Kakashi just replied "I know, but it's better than being a part of it". Naruto turned his frozen body to around in a 180 angle and stared blankly at his 'sensei' and mentor; giving him a silent question to which Kakashi replied "I lost one of our weekly competitions"

~ Back at the Arena ~

Escaping that terrible scene, we find Sasuke giving an arrogant smirk towards his down opponent and was about to finish him off when Hayate, declared him the winner, already knowing what the Uchiha intended to do. Giving a frustrated and annoyed sigh, Sasuke walked towards the Balcony where his team is located, all the while holding his throbbing neck as it pulsed in pain every few seconds or so. When he arrived at the balcony, he was greeted by his ever loyal fan-girl and 'teammate' Sakura, as Ino was too busy ogling Naruto's body to pay attention to anything, having a few drools and dreamy sigh escape her lips every now and then. Once Sasuke pried the fan-girl of off him, he made his way to his Sensei too demand more training after the Exams are over only to see his other 'teammate' as still as a statue with his Sensei in the same condition, looking at a pair of spandex wearing men, hugging each other, with a Genjutsu of sorts that shows the Sun setting in the beach. Using all of his mental and physical will power to not join the hugging, the Uchiha settled to leaning against the wall and brooded, of course nobody noticed the subtle glances that he gave Gai and Lee ever so often, or that's what he thinks.

~ Other Fights Remain as Canon ~

~ Uzumaki Naruto vs Inuzuka Kiba ~

"Will Uzumaki Naruto and Inuzuka Kiba please come down to the arena" called out Hayate, who surprisingly didn't cough that time

"Umm Proctor" Naruto said "You got my name wrong" which gained the attention of those who knew him, 'since when did he changed his name?' were the questions that ran through their heads. While the Sandaime was panicking, thinking that Naruto must have figured out his father's name due to the change in appearance and attitude, the more observant Jounins could see the small drop of sweat coming from the Sandaime's forehead; they narrowed their eyes on the Sandaime, he must be hiding something, they thought.

"Ohh? Sorry *cough* could you tell me you real name please? Or the name you *cough cough* prefer" asked Hayate. Naruto jumped down and walked towards Hayate, once he was near him, he leaned in and whispered to his ears, gaining a nod from Hayate as he brought his wrist towards his mouth and spoke something into the hidden speaker. The names on the screen blurred before it revealed another name 'Portgas D Naruto', which caused the Sandaime to breathe a sigh of relieve before he realized that the name sounds kind of... familiar. The Jounins and others in the room were confused about the name but rather not think about it, concluding that this must be one of Naruto's pranks, only to notice the serious face that adorned Naruto's face and the lack of laughing coming out of his mouth; this brought up more questions about the now mysterious blonde.

Kiba, getting out of his confused expression and ignoring the question that he has lurking at the back of his mind, said "Yeah! We got an easy one Akamaru!" he said to his small dog that gave him a small 'Bark' "Heh, it feels like we already won doesn't it Akamaru?" continued Kiba as he jumped towards the arena, the opposite side of Naruto, who doesn't seem miffed by the jab at his supposed 'skills', which irked others to whole other level since Naruto was known for being a hot-head and scream at his enemies.

Once the competitors were in position, Hayate said "Hajime" and moved out of the way because he has a feeling that this match would be a bit... messy. Once the 'Go' was heard, Kiba used this chance to use the new tactic that Kurenai-sensei has taught him, the act of provocation. "Heh, why don't you give up dope? There is no way you could defeat me!" which still earned him no reaction from the cowboy hat wearing blonde. Trying to keep up the tactic, Kiba said "You know, I feel bad for you, so I'll do you a favour and end this all with one punch" arrogance clear in his voice. There was still no reaction coming from the Blonde, which seem to further agitate Kiba as he shouted "GRR! Answer ME YOU DOPE!" still no reaction. Deciding that enough is enough, Kiba growl a feral growl before he charged towards Naruto in rage.

~ In the Balcony ~

Kurenai looked at Kakashi with a triumphant smirk and said "I'm very sorry Kakashi, but your student won't be a match against Kiba, I guess Sasuke is the only one that is going to the final round" though inwardly, Kurenai could not help shake her head in embarrassment as her students was using his own tactic against himself... how could that happen? She thought. 'Maybe I should've thought him patience instead of something like this'

Kakashi just looked at her, taking his eyes off from his book for a few seconds before saying "You know, I wouldn't underestimate Naruto if I were you, He is full of surprises"

~ Back at the Arena ~

Kiba was just within a few feet away from the blonde and was about to strike the ever still figure, only to stop as the door to the stadium opened to reveal another Naruto, holding a piece of cooked meat on his right hand while he was sucking on a cup of what seemed to be soda on his left hand. Due to the opening of the door, the wind from the outside rushed in and blew the few strands of hair left from the fan-girls pathetic fight (Ino and Sakura's Fight), which also 'blew' the Naruto that is in the Arena, which indicates that it was a card board cut out of him in that same pose. Everybody in the arena just stared at the fallen cardboard cut out with a stare that could not be describe, since no one realized it until it fell... they then turned they heads towards the Naruto at the gate, who was happily chewing on the meat. Feeling eyes upon him, Naruto looked up to see everyone giving him blank stares and said "What? I'm hungry"

~ Back at the Balcony ~

Kakashi gave Kurenai THE look and said "What did I tell ya? Full of surprises..." No words were spoken by the Jounins

~ With Naruto ~ after he finished his Snack ~

"Uhh..." Hayate started "I don't know what to say now... *cough cough* HAJIME!" he finally said after an awkward second.

Kiba, deciding that since the last 'Naruto' didn't hear his jab, decided to start again "Heh, Why don't you just give u-" He was interrupted by Naruto saying "Yeah, yeah, look, tell that to someone who cares cause frankly... I don't, so let's just get this over with, there's a nice big bowl of Ramen with extra Meat! At Ichirakus' with my name on it"

Growling at being interrupted, Kiba decided to use his 'trump' card to agitate the Blonde "Hmph, you act like you're going to win against me! Must I remind you that you're the dead last? Dead last! HAH! The dead last wants to be Hokage when he can't even pass the academy without being pitied upon! What a joke! Maybe I should be Hokage!" stated Kiba, with arrogance that could be rivalled with the Uchiha. Nobody saw the Sandaime widen his eyes to epic proportions as he knew where this is going to go, since it has happened once before, and it will not be pretty, at all.

The Jounins in the area, who understood the meaning of a dream, grew wide eyes at what Kiba has just said, especially those who understood Naruto, to a point, and sympathize him. Some Genins also had a look of surprise at how blunt the Mutt was at crushing his dream and embarrassing him. Some grew disgusted at such a cruel jab, it was okay to agitate the opponent but taking it that far, the Mutt is about to take one hell of a beating!

Kiba, feeling confident that he manage to anger Naruto, since he saw Naruto lower his head; the bangs of his hair and the shadow of his hat covered his eyes, decided to make another jab but stopped when Akamaru whimpered, as if he was afraid, like the time when they nearly encountered the Sand-Nin. He looked down to the now visibly shaking Akamaru, as he slowly back up, one step at a time. Kiba then felt an increase in the air temperature; he was sweating like a dog now, pun intended, so was everybody else in the area. They traced the source of the heat and it all brought to Naruto, who still had his head low. Some pitied him, having his dreams mocked at like that, and having someone else say that they were going to be Hokage just to 'shove it up their face'; they would've continued to pity him if the right side of his body wasn't on fire... wait what? And true to their eyes, the right side of Naruto's body is on fire, just a small flick of fire here and there, ever so often turning blue, The Hokage was about to call the medic and put out the fire, thinking that it was a Jutsu went wrong, only to hear Naruto's voice "What? You think that being Hokage is a joke? You think that ANYONE could be Hokage? Look, I don't care if you make fun of me, my skills, or even punch me a few times 'not that he could' but there is one thing that you should never, EVER, DO!" He raised his voice at the last few words; Naruto slowly raised his head, to show glowing red eyes that seem to burn with the Fire of a Ranging Inferno! "NEVER MAKE FUN OF MY DREAM" He all but screamed at Kiba's face as the flames exploded into bigger flames, increasing the heat in the area that it almost felt like they were in Suna, almost, and burning the walls behind him. The flames gathered to his right hand, making it look like a Fist of Fire, and it was so intense and condensed that it could called a miniature sun. The blonde looked at Kiba and then charged at him, dragging his right hand into the ground as he does, which caused it to melt and crack. Naruto gave a frustrated scream as he is within a few feet from Kiba.

Meanwhile, Kiba is now sweating, not just from the heat, but also from nervousness, his companion Akamaru has fled when Naruto 'exploded' and he was now rooted on the spot, unable to move a muscle, as he saw Naruto covering the distance between them in only a second or two. He closed his eyes and await the pain but it never came, he opened his eyes to see the flaming fist just an inch from his nose; he let out a breath that he didn't know he was holding, so did the Konoha Jounins as they thought Naruto was about to kill a fellow Leaf-Nin. He looked questionably at Naruto, who saw his questioning look and said "You're not worth killing, and if I kill you, I'll be a bad example to other countries and the younger Generation" Kiba was about to cheer that we wasn't going to die but stopped when he heard the next lines "But that doesn't mean I'll forgive you and let you off that easily" He looked back towards Naruto, only to see a regular fist flying towards his face, hitting him in the nose and breaking it in the process. Kiba flew a couple of metres before his back was introduced to the hard stone floor. He rolled to a stop and was about to get up, if Naruto hasn't jumped high up in the air and landed on his stomach, which he gave a cry of pain and a spray of blood. Naruto lifted Kiba by the collar of his hoodie and slammed him into the wall in the opposite side, which made a decent side crater.

Taking a deep breath, Naruto thought 'Let's just hope I don't over power this and burn him to a crisp, don't want any trouble in the foreseeable future'; He then breath out a plume of black with some some red 'lights' that looks like floating, small and light pieces burnt charcoal, taking another deep breath, Naruto took a horse stance and 'punched' the air, they were about to sweat drop at such an act but were surprised that a stream line of fire launched itself towards Kiba, burning his upper body and giving him 2 degree burns. Once Naruto was done, he took another deep breath to calm himself down and began walking towards the front door but not before saying "Jiji, I'll see you in the office later, and take my number for me please, I'm not in the mood"; not waiting for a reply, Naruto just left the stunt crowd of Ninja, 'how could the Dead Last get so good in five days? Or was he never the Dead Last?' were their thoughts of the Konoha Ninjas

"Shousha, Portgas D Naruto"
