A/N: Yo! Guys here is the next chapter of Soul King Naruto. I would like to point out a few things before I start.
The first is that this time-skips to the chuunin exam finals and Naruto's battle with Neji.
The Second is all the kages are here.
The third is that Naruto has been training nonstop for the past month without the interruption of Jiraya and the hot-springs.
The fourth is that Naruto gains a summoning contract for the ancient warriors (Soul Caliber people) as well as a universal summoning contract.
The fifth is that there will be some major Konoha bashing in this chapter
The last thing is that Danzo and the whole council is good and Naruto is Grey.
Let's get on with the story now.
Invasion ark: chuunin exams!
It had been two months since Naruto had accepted the girls' offer and a lot had happened since then.
His team had competed in the chuunin exams. The first test was a breeze as Naruto had just gone up to someone and knocked them out. The second test was way harder as he had to face Orochimaru and act like he was a pathetic weakling. The third test preliminaries was easiest since Naruto just had to pretend to be a dobe against the pathetic butt sniffer and the polite one, Kiba and Akamaru respectively.
Naruto had been soaking up info all throughout the time while training himself and his clones into the ground. Now it was time to put it to the test with the chuunin exams.
Naruto's first opponent was Neji...
"Guess the dobe recognized that fate has declared me the victor." Neji smirked when all of a sudden, the winds picked up and formed a tornado the color of gold.
When the tornado ended, a figure with wild blond hair that went down to his neck, gold eyes, a sword on his back, and in black kingly robes. (Think of king from Rave Master)
The proctor of the exams said "What's your name?"
The man smirked and said "Naruto Uzumaki the Soul King."
Neji scoffed at him and said "Making up a nickname won't help you fight me."
"Try me" Naruto responded.
The proctor could tell that they were both ready for battle and the wait was grating on the contestants nerves by the tension in the air.
"Let the battle...Hajime!" The proctor called out to the waiting audience.
As soon as he said that Naruto summoned three swords. Soul Caliber in his right, Soul edge (dagger form) in his left, and Soul Ravager in his mouth by the hilt (think of Rave master's Rave Sword: explosion).
Neji scoffed thinking he was just being cocky and ran at him with his byakugan active and his hands in straight palms and tried to hit him.
Naruto got his sword ready and was blocking each and every strike with his swords in his hands.
An experienced veteran like the kages, anbu, jonnin, some chuunin, and two gennin could tell that Naruto was just playing with Neji as he could have ended it at any time with the sword in his mouth as Neji was close enough to be cut in half.
Neji, realizing he wasn't getting anywhere, backed off and threw some kunai with explosive tags on them at Naruto.
Naruto saw them and called out "Wind style: Wind Scythe Jutsu!".
With that a variation of Temari's technique came out in the form of a straight line. The jutsu cut through the kunai and almost hit Neji, but, using his byakugan, Neji dodged the jutsu only to have to continue dodging as more of them came at him.
"You should know something about the modified Wind Style: Wind Sythe Jutsu I am using, and that is that it doesn't stop until I tell it to."
The crowd was in awe at the technique and power of the so-called dobe of the rookie 9. The civilians were scared that he was going to use the technique on them while the ninja were in awe and slightly scared at the prank opportunities the jutsu prevented.
As Neji heard this, he realized that he had no chance of winning as there was no way forward. As soon as Neji got distracted however, a scythe hit him and caused him to lose balance as well as gain a rather large gash. But, that wasn't all that happened as Naruto kept up the jutsu and Neji kept getting hit until he was knocked out on the floor from the pain and blood loss.
As soon as the proctor saw this he said "Winner: Naruto Uzumaki."
Naruto smirked as he saw that and jumped up and, using the potency boost he got from the soul swords, right into the contestant booth.
"What the hell are y'all staring at?" Naruto asked as they looked away.
Shikamaru said his usual line "troublesome dobe. Why did you have to play with Neji so much?"
The other contestants stared at him like he was nuts except Shino as he got what he was talking about.
"You mean you didn't realize it?" Shikamaru asked "He could have ended it at the earliest point using the sword he had in his mouth and then didn't have to do anything except use that jutsu to finish it. Hell, Naruto was just standing there while the jutsu killed his opponent when he could have just thrown a kunai in there and ended his opponent through the fire that came from it."
Everyone was shocked as they realized that the so-called dobe of the class had the ability to play with the Hyuuga prodigy and still come out on top.
"Will Sasuke Uchiha and Sabaku Gaara come down please." The proctor called.
Naruto narrowed his eyes as he saw the Sandaime trying to negotiate for Sasuke to wait.
Naurto had seen enough and said loud enough to reach the kages' sensitive ears "You know kages these days have no backbone. Bowing to the will of the so-called strongest nation and allowing a last-of-his-clan and rookie-of-the-year brat show up late and get away with it."
The other nations' kages heard this and quickly changed their mind about agreeing with the Sandaime's demands and declined to wait for him. The Sandaime was seething in rage at having the brat destroy another plan to keep the jinchuuriki and clan's loyal to konoha and serving him.
The proctor then said "Due to his tardiness, Sasuke is hereby disqualified and will not be made chuunin while Gaara no Sabaku will move on to the next round."
Kankuro cursed at not being able to participate in the exams as their father told them to hide their skills. Unknowingly to him, Gaara would forfeit in the next round and leave Naruto and the next round winner as the finalists. "I forfeit!" Kankuro yelled out.
The crowd booed at his decision while the proctor called Shikamaru and Temari down to fight. Temari drifted down on her fan while Naruto threw Shikamaru down, hard.
When the match was over Temari won because her opponent forfeited due to loss of chakra.
With that said Gaara forfeited against Naruto as Naruto had convinced him to help the leaf and kill the sound and sand shinobi.
Temari followed suit leaving Naruto as the first person since Itomi Uchiha to win the chuunin exam tournament in the first time through it.
With that however, Kabuto cast the sleep genjutsu that would start the invasion.
Done! I know this is a bit of a short chapter but I wanted to save the Leaf invasion pt. 2: The kages, Orochimaru, and Naruto for the next chapter.
Harem: fem Sasu, fem Akatsuki, Soul Trinity, Tsunade, Yuugao, Samui, Yugito and others.
That is all for this chapter folks!
Please remember to review!
