I don't own Naruto

Naruto was in his apartment when an Anbu appeared. "You have been requested by the Hokage," said the Anbu.
"I will head out," said Naruto.
Naruto gets to the office and sees several jounin standing in front of the Hokage. "Now, we are waiting for Kakashi," said Sarutobi.
Naruto stands next to Kurenai. "What is going on?" asked Naruto.
A man with a beard looks at Naruto. "You're a Jounin?" asked the man.
"Yes, I received a battlefield promotion," said Naruto. "I may be the youngest here, but age means nothing."
A puff of smoke and Kakashi was standing reading a book. "Sorry I am late, I had to help a dog out of a tree."
Kurenai sighs. "Kakashi, put your porn away," she said.
"Now I have called you here because of an event is being hosted," said Sarutobi.
"So it's time," said Naruto. "Don't see why I am here. I don't have a team."
"Hokage-sama, must have a reason for," said Kurenai.
"Will team the sensei of the genin teams please step up," said Hokage. Kakashi, Kurenai, Asuma and a green spandex wearing Jounin step up. "Is you team ready for the exams?"
Team 7 is ready," said Kakashi.
"Team 8 has gone though tough mission. They are ready," said Kurenai.
"Team 9 is ready," said the green wearing man.
"Team 10 is ready," said Asuma.
Iruka stands up. "Three of those team are rookie teams," he said. "They are not ready."
"I disagree," said Naruto. "I was on team 8 and I can tell you they more then ready. Team 7 I have seen their progress and I can tell you they are ready. I can't speak for team 10 due to the lack of interaction so I will leave for the squad leader.'
"I agree with Jounin Naruto Uzumaki," said Sarutobi. "Please get you teams ready. "

Naruto was heading to his apartment. Kurenai walked up to him. "Naruto, are you free?"
"Sure, what do you need?" asked Naruto.
"I would like an assement of my abilities," said Kurenai.
"To be honest, your taijutsu is not adequate or proficient," said Naruto. "You ninjutsu is better but limited."
"I was wondering if you can help me train?" asked Kurenai.
"What brought this on?" asked Naruto.
"Our battle with Itachi opened my eyes," said Kurenai. "My own student surpassed me and was the reason for our survival.'
"Let's meet in at training ground 80," said Naruto. "It is a secluded area, I found out about and bought the land."
"Where is it?" asked Kurenai.
Near the Hokage training ground," said Naruto.

Next day Naruto got to his training ground. A 20 acre piece of land. On it was a river going from one end of the grounds to the other. Trees where in the inner area of the of the property and was surrounded by mountains. Kurenai walks in, her eyes widen at the landscape. "Glad you could make it," said Naruto. "First I want to give you an idea of a style that might be good for you body type."
"What do you think?" asked Kurenai.
"Two style, Humming bird and Mantis," said Naruto. "Thanks to the fox I have an unlimited source of knowledge due its age."
Naruto summons a clone. "Please show Kurenai the beginning katas of the style."
"What about you Naruto?" asked Kurenai.
"I am trying to Master Sage mode," said Naruto. "That is what I am doing."
Kurenai was getting the hang of both styles. The clone praised her progress. "I think you should, head to you team Kurenai-sensei."
"I am no longer your teacher," said Kurenai.
"It is out of respect," said the clone.
The ground shakes. "What is that?" asked Kurenai.
"Just a spar," said the clone
Kurenai looks in the direction and sees an injured Naruto walking up to her. "Damn what happened?"
"I was trying to perfect a jutsu," said Naruto.

Naruto was once again in his training ground. The first exam had ended and he was told the rookie genin team made it. "Can I help you Neko?" asked Naruto. An Anbu with a cat mask jumps down. She had purple hair.
"Hokage-sama, has a mission for you," said the Anbu. "He wants you at the office."
"Understood," said Naruto.

Naruto appeared in the Hokage office. He sees Neko and a man who looks sick. Both had swords on their backs. "You summoned me?"
"Yes Naruto-kun, we have a dire situation," said the Hokage. "A traitor of the village attacked on of the genin."
"Who is the traitor?" asked Naruto.
"Orochimaru," said the Hokage. Naruto eyes widen. "Anko a special Jounin and a former student went to confront him. I need you to back her up."
"I will need some Anbu," said Naruto.
"I am tasking Neko to go with you," said the Hokage. "Hayate Geko."
The two other ninja nod. "We should head out imiddetly," said Neko.
"Naruto I am placing you in charge," said Hokage. "You have good head on your shoulder.'
"Move out," said Naruto.

The three where jumping in the forest where the exams were being held. "Do you sense him?" asked Neko.
"Yes, it's vile," said Naruto. "I will engage when you see an opening take him.'
Naruto hear a battle going on and he sees Anko fighting a pale skin woman with half her face peeling. "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough," said Naruto sending Orochimaru back. Looks at the woman. "Hokage-sama, sent me as back up."
"He sent a newly minted jounin to help," said Anko. "Not a good move."
"This is my second time fighting an S rank Shinobi," said Naruto. "That attack was not strong enough to put him down."
"Kukuku," said a chilling voice. "Was not expecting you Firestorm."
"What are you talking about?" asked Naruto.
"I see, you don't the rank a title you where given at Wave," said Orochimaru. "A rank genin Firestorm master of Wind and Fire."
Anko eyes widen. "I was not aware I got a nickname," said Naruto. "Found you."
Naruto blows out a blast of fire at a tree. It hits a body. "Impressive," said Orochimaru. "You located me.'
"I know your toying with me," said Naruto.
"Let see what you can do," said Orochimaru.
The two ninja that came with Naruto where hidden. "He got the snakes attention. NO wot wait for an opening," said Hayate.
Naruto smiles. Orochimaru dodges as a kunai sails past him. "Impressive."
Naruto appears and quickly slams the Sannin into the ground by his face. Naruto jumps back as the Sannin neck extend and bite on to him. "Boom," said Naruto. The body explode.
"Shadows clone explosion," said Anko feeling outclassed. "He is holding back.'
Two Naruto, grab on to the Sannin. "Now."
Both of the Leaf ninjas, draw their sword and go to slash at Orochimaru. They cut him in half, but it turn to mud. "Mud clone," said Hayate.
"Shit we have been played," said Naruto. The blond dodges a kick as the jounin back off from the counter attack.
"So close," said Orochimaru with a sick smile.
Naruto looks around and frowns. He notices that he was the only one with enough chakra to continue fighting. "All three of you flee," said Naruto. "I will hold him off."
"Are you crazy kid!" shouted Anko.
"That is an order," said Naruto.
The other two grab Anko and body flicker away. "You going to face me alone. How gutless," said Orochimaru.
"How so?" asked Naruto
"Suicide is the coward's way out," said Orochimaru.
"I asked them to leave, so they aren't collateral," said Naruto. "By the end of this battle one us will be dead."
Naruto goes through hand seals. "Firestorm Style: Twin Eruption."
Orochimaru jumps on a tree as see two twister of flames surround him. "This jounin is too dangerous to fight," said Orochimaru. He throws down a smoke pellet and disappears.
The twister disappears as two Anbu appears. "We are to back you up," said the Anbu.
"He fled," said Naruto. "I have to inform Hokage-sama of my mission."
Naruto was infront of the Hokage. "Mission was a success. Did my team make it back?"
"They told me what happened," said Sarutobi. "You held off and forced a retreat of an S rank ninja."
"I had them leave the battle because they got hit in the crossfire," said Naruto. "I was not trying to win."
Explain?" asked Sarutobi.
"A show of power," said Naruto. "Orochimaru is up to something. I might have scared into either stalling or stopping any plans he might have though about doing."
"Or he might have be restyling his plans to account for your power," said Hokage. "You had a strategy, it not have worked as you might."
"I will make adjustment in the future," said Naruto.
"The third exam is ready," said Hokage-sama.

End Chapter
A/N: Naruto has gotten much stronger from last chapter. In a sense, I believe Naruto can hurt Orochimaru badly if they were fight all out. Orochimaru experience will help him prevail. Not sure of the pairing. Maybe Anko this time.
