AN: Hello my dear readers, its Dragon here with the next story installment of this current story. I'm glad to see so many people enjoying this story so far, and only three chapters in! A lot has happened to Naruto so far and more will pick up, along with the characters of his class. I hope I do well and some characters will be OOC.

redlox2: Naruto will be getting many different abilities, his aura will give him a very diverse set of skills. Not to mention the other tricks that I have for Naruto to gain as the story continues.

Tony Anderson: I'm glad you enjoyed the fight scene, makes me glad to this make story. I hope you enjoyed your thanksgiving and didn't get overstuffed like I did!

CrazyTomboy679: Thank you very much, I will do my best. Actually everyone will know about the Pokemon. They are not exactly a secret and refuse to hide once they are in the Academy. Academy Student or not, they are considered out of the jurisdiction of the Civilian Council in my opinion.

Kingofthespirit: Because I honestly forgot about Hana, but I'm going to use an entirely different idea for that. I made the character and she is going to be used as a sort of rival for Hinata and help her out of her shell.

Chapter 4:

The Academy Begins

A full week has went by in the Reverse World and Naruto has improved by leaps and bounds.

The young blonde was made to train harder than he ever has before, each day that passed during that week with only an hour break after five painful hours of sweat. Like Arceus had told him, Naruto was trained by many of the best that the Reverse World had to offer him.

He trained casting illusions through aura, since his Genjutsu was extremely difficult due to his Uzumaki blood, with the Zoroark clan. Due to his high chakra amount from his Uzumaki genes, he couldn't cast even the lowest level of Genjutsu but he could easily break out of even A rank illusions like they were nothing. Thankfully Zoroark had a way around that, by training him in the use of aura through his aura. They trained him in their art and easily showed why they called the Masters of Illusions.

After his training was pushed hard at him, he was able to cast their illusions without twitching. In fact, the only one who cast illusions the way he could would be those that possessed the Sharingan from the Uchiha clan. Now Naruto was no master unlike the ones that trained him. His small illusions, like changing appearances or even making false objects, were made easily and hard to notice. Bigger illusions, like changing the area, were much easier to notice by shinobi's.

He trained his physical strength with the help of the Machamp, Hitmonlee, and Hitmonchan clans. They taught him many different ways of fighting from pure power fighting, kick boxing, and high speed boxing. His speed was trained by the Pidgeot's, Rapidash, and even Ninjask's. They taught him how to move at high speeds and see movement at high speeds (he can currently see up to mid chunin speed without difficulty). His training in stealth was done by, much to his chargrin at first, Gengar's and many other Ghost type Pokemon along with Shiftry's, Sceptile's, Hippowdon's, and Kecleon's.

He trained among the Lucario's so he could gain better control over the aura both within and outside his body. He even entered and trained within his mindscape through meditaion and gained more focused control over his aura, though his training was done as far from the Kyuubi's cage as possible due to him being too weak to be in the mighty Bijuu's presence. His Aura Sense now has a range of fifty yards while standing still, but only fifteen yards while on the move (still much better than it was before). His Aura Sight can now distinguish between people and animals, even while he is on the move! It was no longer just a blob of aura that he sees each time he used it.

He also trained his aura based attacks among with his aura manipulation. His Aura Sphere (which had trouble beating out low C Rank jutsus) can now not only crush low rank jutsus but can even holds own against mid B Rank Jutsus. He can also extend his aura into either a staff which he can harden it to be as hard as steel, or a sword and can sharpen it to his needs. He can also now seperate his aura into two different states, aggressive and peaceful.

His aggressive state is not only his most destructive, but also his most dark state. He constantly unleashes a very unnerving feeling in this state, not unlike when a ninja uses KI (Killing Intent). This state easily strikes fear into his opponents and leaves them frozen stiff in fear, allowing him to crush them easily. This state of being also augments his offensive attacks and makes them more powerful, especially the aura based moves.

His peaceful state is the exact opposite, its calming and soothing sensation that gives his targets a state of warmth and security. While his aggressive state was used to strike fear, his peacful state allowed him to calm angered people and helped them think with a cleared up mind. This state utilizes his want and need to help those around him. This state of being augments his defensive and healing capabilitie on not only himself but others he heals as well.

Thats not to say he neglected his ninja training in the least. The Zoroark that was acting as him would bring scrolls of techniques, taijutsu styles, and jutsus. His training in chakra control was increased thanks to the scrolls, where he had to balance rocks and leaves on his body while walking across the water (an advanced water walking exercise). He learned and mastered many E Rank to C Rank jutsus. He also finally managed to master his first A Rank jutsu, the Fire Style: Intelligent Hard Work! Though most of his progress came in the form of his fuinjutsu and kenjutsu training.

An explosion went off that shook the surrounding ground slightly. From the rising smoke, Naruto walked out coughing and blowing the smoke away from his face. He wore an entirely new attire that Zoroark got for him, thinking it would suit him.

Naruto now wore a pure black muscle shirt (that easily showed his forming abs) along with gray shinobi pants and dark blue sandals with blood red straps. On his hands were his new Aura Guardian gloves that held smooth dark blue gems stitched into the back. The gloves were a dark brown color and were a thin and fingerless. He also wore a short red scarf around his neck.

"Tch, I still need to work the power overflow problem," Naruto said to himself as dusted of his clothing. Sitting on the sidelines were Riolu, Zorua, and Eevee.

"You will get it soon partner, just give it time," Riolu stated with a small smile, believing in his friend. Riolu and Eevee nodded their heads in aggreement.

Eevee has officially become apart of Naruto's team the other day. Eevee got really hurt while practicing one of its attacks due to it getting caught in the backlash. Naruto found Eevee hurt during one of his runs and took care of her which in turn made Eevee adore Naruto more and ask to be part of his main six summons to which Naruto agreed to.

Naruto smiled at his three Pokemon, grateful for their encouragement and belief in his abilities. Before he could reply, a bright light shined behind him while releasing a high power output; Naruto's smile widened at who it was.

"Hello Arceus, how might I help you today?" Naruto asked without turning around.

"Hello Naruto-kun," Arceus responded in a joyful tone. Arceus and the other Pokemon have enjoyed having the young man around and saw his determination to get stronger to be very inspirational. Arceus too has enjoyed having Naruto around, but sadly all good things must come to and end at some point. "I have come to tell you that it is time to return back to Konoha."

The happy look that was present on Naruto's face did a complete one-eighty as a cold and indifferent took its place. Nodding his head, Naruto smirked as he felt that he was ready to dominate, even if he didn't want to deal with the Namikaze's.

"Your three partners will join you as I teleport all of you to Zoroark's current location, which is near the Academy," Arceus said as her eyes turned a white color. "Good luck and show them all the strength that they forgot to nurture, Teleport!"

In a flash of white light; Naruto, Eevee, Riolu, and Zorua vanished.

The Academy

The group reappeared in another flash of light, all of them trying to keep their balance since they were not used to teleporting yet. Shaking the cobwebs from their heads, they took notice of their surroundings which ended up being a bathroom. Looking ahead, they took notice of another Naruto staring directly at them as he smirked at all of them.

"It took you all long enough to finally arrive," the other Naruto said as his playful grin widened.

"Sorry for the delay Zoroark," Naruto responded to the now revealed Zoroark.

In a quick spin of purple light, the Naruto was gone and its place was a completely different creature.

Zoroark is a bipedal, gray-brown, fox-like Pokemon with crimson and black accents, not unlike Zorua's. Zoroark also possessed a pointed snout and ears that were red on the inside. There was also red rimming both of it's eyes and mouth. It had a large, red, voluminous mane with black tips, which resembles a ponytail, as a teal bangle down its length seperates a mass of the mane from the lower portion. It has a black ruff on its upper body that also had pointed shoulders where its long, thin arms protruded from. The arms have spikey extentions of fur at the elbows, and it has red claws on its hands and feet. Zoroark also had light blue irises for its eyes.

"It's fine Naruto," Zoroark responded. "We are at the Academy, in case you were not aware. Also your sisters have been trying to get closer to you, so don't be surprised if they approach you; especially with the change in wardrobe." The outfit that Zoroark had worn was a bright orange jumpsuit that he thought would be fun to wear.

Zoroark simply LOVED attention.

Naruto nodded his head at the Dark type. He figured that his outburst to their sudden care for him would cause SOME changes to occur, if only to keep it quiet that a child of the Hokage had been ignored by his own family. The backlash would definitly cause some problems for them, not like he cared really.

"Thanks for covering for me Zoroark," Naruto said as he smiled at the Illusion Fox Pokemon. "I'll pay you back for it in due time my friend." The fully evolved Pokemon nodded his head as he poofed away, back to the Distortion World. Turning to his partners, a grin made its way on Naruto's face.

"Alright you three, let's show these guys what an Aura Ninja and his partners can do!" Naruto exclaimed as he pumped his right fist in the air. Eevee jumped onto his left shoulder while Zorua took his right. Riolu opted to nod silently as he waled alongside his friend.

The four exited the restroom, making their way to the Shinobi class for the first years. Ignoring the strange looks given to them by passerbys (Pokemon weren't exactly a common species so it was no surprise to them).

Naruto stood in front of his classroom's door, feeling a powerful aura signature behind the door along with many smaller ones. Recognizing who signature it was, Naruto sighed tiredly at having to see him so soon. Riolu, knowing what was wrong, looked to his partner with an encouraging smile. Seeing the smile, Naruto smirked again at his friend's attempt to make him feel better.

Taking a deep breath, Naruto opened the door to his classroom and made his way inside. He quickly gained the attention of everyone in the room (especially the girls who were practically drooling). His untamed spikey hair and one bang framing his left eye caused hearts to appear in the girls eyes. The guys were seeing him as a threat to either their manliness or to the hearts of the girls in the classroom.

Mito saw her brother and smiled brightly at him. She loved her dear older brother very much, even if he believed it to be otherwise. She has been trying to get close to him, but hasn't had much luck. He would either ignore her or avoid her altogether. She wasn't going to give up though, she was going to get her brother to love her; she's an Uzumaki woman and they are known to be very stubborn when they have a goal in mind.

Nami looked at Naruto in happiness, but was more saddened than anything. Like Mito, she has been trying to get close to her brother, but has had no luck. He shows them little to no emotion, and makes sure to leave as soon as possible if they are even in the same room. They usually had to hunt him down to talk to him and even that wasn't easy to do. She gave Naruto another sad yet loving gaze as he looked around the room. 'Onii-chan.'

Minato, who was giving a speech to the kids, looked towards his estranged son in shock. Like the rest of his family, he has been to reconcile with his oldest but would end up with the same results as the rest of the family. He would avoid them as best he could, vanish for points at a time, or ignore them completely. Minato tried to offer Naruto training, but would only get a glare of anger for his efforts. Looking at him, he was also surprised by his change of appearance.

'Where did all of the orange go!?"

A few others looking at Naruto were Hinata Hyuga, Satsuki Uchiha, and Sasuke Uchiha. His best friends in the entire village. Hinata and Satsuki were in relief that he made it to class on time, albeit abit late. They were hoping he was ok since he hasn't hung out with them or their family much this past week. Sasuke was glad that his brother in all but blood was in the Academy since he was worried that he didn't sign up due to him not being in class.

Iruka Umino, the class instructor, decided to speak up. "Your late young man, class has already started," he said in a slight stern tone. He knew that this was the Hokage's son, but he refused to show favoritism and would treat him like anybody else. He didn't see the boy as the Kyuubi either, just a boy wanting to learn how to defend the village like any other Shinobi of Konoha.

Naruto smirked at his instructor when he felt no malice in his stern tone, just him doing his job and treating him normally. 'Maybe this won't be so bad afterall.' "Sorry about that sensei, I had to use the bathroom and collect my partners here." Riolu waved to the class, Zorua chuckled and Eevee nodded politely before she tried to hide behind Naruto's head at all the stares.

Everyone took notice of the strange creatures, wondering what they were. The girls had to hold back their squeals at how cute the three Pokemon, especially the shy Eevee, looked. Iruka voiced his thoughts though. "Ummm, Naruto-san, what are they? I have never seen animals like them before."

Deciding to hide his Summoning Contract for now, Naruto answered in half truths. "I found them in the forest a few years ago, so I'm not sure how to answer that. They are my best friends and are all very strong in their own rights so I decided to make them my ninja partners, like how the Inuzuka clan has their dogs."

To help prove Naruto's point, Riolu released a small (yet dense) pulse of aura that made everyone's eyes widen. They didn't expect such a small creature to release such a strange, but strong power. The more experienced ninja (Iruka and Minato) were able to see just how powerful Riolu was from that small burst.

"Can we begin class now," a bored Naruto asked. If they were surprised by that small burst of power, then these next few years will probably make their hearts stop.

Nodding his head, Iruka gestured towards the back."Yes, your seat will be in the back, next to Miss Hinata Hyuga." Naruto looked up and a smile grew on his face, along with a small blush that spread on his cheeks.

Hinata Hyuga was what he would call a cute girl. Her indigo blue hair was cut short, but left long enough that it slightly covered her pupiless eyes. She had a pale complexion, but not enough to where she looked unhealthy. She wore a baige jacket that was very baggy on her. When she saw Naruto, her face grew red from embarrassment before looking at her desk again.

Naruto chuckled at his friend's shy nature as he made his way to his seat. When he sat down, he turned to the shy Hyuga and offered her a warm smile. "Hey Hinata, its good to see again. I'm happy that we could get to be seat neighnors." He chuckled as she gave Naruto a shy smile. He gestured to his partners as he introduced them to his friend. "The short stack with the mask is Riolu, the black ball of fluff on my shoulder is Zorua, and the cute ball of sunshine is Eevee."

Riolu waved to Hinata, but glared at Naruto for how he introduced him, Zorua nodded in her direction with a smirk (not bothered at all from his words), and Eevee jumped into the young Hyuga's lap.

Hinata 'eeped' slightly as the young Pokemon before looking into its big eyes and unconsciously began petting the young Pokemon. 'It's fur is so soft,' she thought in surprise.

"It would seem that she likes you Hinata," Naruto said as he smiled. Eevee is a very shy Pokemon and is normally not so affectionate with new people. She only acts like that with people that she sees as good people.

Eevee is a really good judge of character.

"Ok, ok quiet down," Iruka said to calm the class. The chatting began to slowly stop, causing the teacher to sweatdrop at the kids actually listening to him. 'This isn't going to happen very often, is it?'

Minato walked forward and addressed the class. He told them how happy he was to see so many ninja hopefuls and how proud he was them for their first steps in protecting the Great Tree as it grows. He told them that it won't be easy, but with enough hard work and determination, they could become one of the greats. As he finished his speech, he gave the class a once over before his gaze stopped on his son. "Goodluck everyone and I look forward to seeing your futures," and with that he vanished in a yellow flash.

The class, besides Naruto (who didn't care), the three Pokemon (who were not impressed), and Naruto's sister (who were too busy looking at Naruto) were in awe at the technique.

Afterwards, the class has begun and soon Naruto found himself to be very bored. He knew all this crap already! A bit of chakra theory (which he started learning when he was four), what it means to be a ninja, and a lesson on how to unlock your chakra (which took forever in his opinion since many kids in the class had yet to learn how to do so.

As the class was finally coming to an end, something interesting finally occurred. Another Chunin appeared in a swirl of leaves and whispers into Iruka's ear, causing said Chunin to nod his head as he addressed the class again.

"Ok everyone, we will be inducting a special addition to our curriculum," he said. "Everyone's relatives will attend and watch at the new training ground set up for the Academy students, where you all will spar against each other. This spar will be a test and will take place every four months. Unlike our normal spars, this spar will have no limit except no killing or maiming. It will be a way to see where you stand and show what you have learned. Now follow me and I will show you all to the training grounds."

Everyone shuffled out of their seats as they made their way after their instructor. As they walked, it was easy to see that some of the students were either nervous, excited, or just plain didn't care. As soon as they arrived, the students were greeted by their awaiting family.

Naruto watched closely as Hinata was greeted by her father, Hiashi Hyuga and the head of the Hyuga Clan. His eyes narrowed as he saw that Hiashi, while greeting Hinata, didn't even smile at her. Plus with the hurt look on her face, it made Naruto angry at how Hiashi was acting.

A father should not act that way with their child, DAMN clan image!

Riolu, Eevee, and Zorua sensed Naruto's disdain by and tapped either his cheeks or leg in an attempt to calm him down. Relaxing at his friends touch, he vowed to help his friend as best he could. 'Maybe I can get her a Pokemon partner.' As the contract holder, Naruto can actually give other's Pokemon partners, but he has to be careful of who gets one as that could cause them alot of trouble.

Feeling eyes on him, Naruto looked to his left and saw his mother looking at him along with his two sisters. Not feeling like dealing with them right now, Naruto walked the opposite direction and sat under a shaded tree.

Kushina felt her heart break as her own son simply ignored her as if she wasn't worth his time. She knew she messed up, she shouldn't haven't forgotten about her baby boy like that! He was her son and she has always looked forward to raising her son along with Minato. But due to everything that was going on and at such a fast pace, she just forgot about him. She had no real excuse or reason to forget, she just did. She loved her son, she really did and wanted to show him just how much, but Naruto was having none of that.

Getting everyone's attention, Iruka announced that everyone's names will be drawn at random. This way, no one will have any clue about who they would be fighting and would force them to adapt in battle. "Ok, when I call your names I want you to make your way to the center of the field and make the Sign of Peace and await my signal to begin. Sahoshi Taka..."

Naruto tuned out his instructor as he crossed his legs and began meditating. He felt out everyone's aura, trying to scope out everyone's strengths. As he did so, he noticed that the clan heir's aura's were more dense than the norm. Not enough that they would be able to use it, but enought to show it was an abnormality. It was probably due to their clan's special chakra that allows use for their Kekai Genkai mixing in slightly with their aura.

What he also found curious was that the kids with Dojutsus (Hinata, Satsuki, and Sasuke) had an even more dense aura than the others though it was most prominent around their eyes. As he was thinking about this, he took notice of the aura that surrounded Hinata, Sasuke, and Nami and noticed how their auras seemed different. It was like they...

"NARUTO!"

The sudden, and unexpected shout, caused him to flail his arms in shock and fall backwards and slam the back of his head onto the tree. Looking to the culprit, while rubbing the sore spot on his throbbing head, and narrowed his eyes at a laughing Riolu. "What was that for Riolu!?"

"I thought you fell asleep," Riolu said in between laughs. Finally calming down, Riolu looked to his partner. "Besides, I called you about six times, but you wouldn't respond." Eevee and Zorua nodded their heads to prove Riolu had indeed tried to talk to him.

Their arguement was watched by everyone, who were confused on how Naruto was talking to the strange creature. All the blue one was saying was its name, Riolu, over and over.

Having enough of the bickering, and noticing the looks, Zorua smacked both the Emanation Pokemon and Naruto. "You guys should really stop arguing now, you are attracting uneeded attention. Plus, you guys are interrupting the young Hyuga girl's match." Looking up, the two saw that they were indeed interrupting both the class and the match.

Scratching the back of his head in embarrassment, Naruto apologized. "Sorry, don't mind us. Please continue, I promise we won't do it again."

Iruka shook his head at their behavior before putting it to the back of his mind for now. "Let the match of Hinata Hyuga vs. Kira Inuzuka begin!"

Kira Inuzuka, the twin of Kiba Inuzuka, was the youngest of the three siblings. She had the same black spikey hair that her mother had, with a long bang that covered her left eye. Her Inuzuka mark consisted of three interlocking triangles. Her eyes were the same slit pupil, brown that her older brother (by a year) had. She wore a dark blue shirt with an open green jacket over it. She had tan shorts that went to her knees and dark grreen sandals on her feet.

Kira and Hinata have been good friends for a few years and were even rivals (in Kira's opinion).

"Let's do this Hinata!" Kira yelled before she went into her clans Taijutsu stance. "I will win this time!" Hinata, while shy, was quite a skilled fighter when she actually tried. Kira was the only opponent that Hinata could go against and not worry about hurting them too much (a problem she gained from seeing just how much damage the Gentle Fist could do a person).

Hinata followed suit and entered her clans feared Gentle Fist Taijutsu stance. She will do her best to win this match, especially with her father and Naruto watching (two people she really wants to impress). Kira took off with low Genin speed towards Hinata, who quickly narrowed her eyes on her opponent (easily being able to see her still).

As the fight continued on with the two fighters clashing back and forth, Naruto actually whistled lowly as he felt impressed so far. Kira was a really fast fighter, too fast for the average Academy Student. Her strikes, while wild, were very strong and ferocious. Hinata, while not being as fast as Kira, was very agile and quick on her reaction time. The way she moved and bent around Kira's attack that she could not block, it was like she was dancing a very intricate dance. Her strikes were no where near as strong as Kira's (which is unusual for Hyuga), but they were much more precise. It was a battle between true opposites.

Hinata dodged another swipe by Kira, and quickly dropped low and kicked out with her leg. This caused Kira to trip slightly before she regained her balance and lashed out with a kick that Hinata blocked. Using this slight delay, Kira pushed with her arms and jumped away from her Hyuga opponent and quickly gained distance.

The fighters stared at each other for a few seconds before they rushed at one another once more.

Feeling bouncing on his lap, Naruto looked down and smiled as he watched Eevee cheer Hinata on. 'It would seem Eevee has taken a real shine to Hinata.' He looked to his side and saw that Zorua was unusually very focused on the match. Putting his focus back to the match, he saw that Hinata has just kicked Kira away with mule kick after said Inuzuka tripped her.

As Kira gained her bearings once more, the two fighters stared into the others eyes, panting heavily. They were both on their final legs and knew that this will be their last strike, the first to get hit is the loser. With a loud cry, they charged at each other and thrust their arms forward.

'SLAM'

The sound of a fist hitting flesh echoed throughout the training field as the two fighters stood in front of each, both with their arms strecthed outward. Slowly, one of the two slumped forward as she fell.

Falling backwards, Kira Inuzuka passed out, signifying Hinata as the winner. Everyone cheered at the surprisingly intense fight. Hiashi couldn't help but smile slightly at seeing his supposed 'weak' daughter win her first match at the Academy.

After that though, most of the other matches were pretty straight forward and most were one-sided until Nami went up against Satsuki. The fight was the most intense match yet, with neither girl willing to lose. They both refused to lose in front of the one they wanted to notice their skills the most, Naruto. Alas, after about fifteen minutes of fighting and both being covered in sweat, Satsuki passed out from exhaustion. While Satsuki easily matched Nami in terms of pure skill and technique, she lost due to Nami having much better stamina than her.

Perks of not only being an Uzumaki (who are well known for having a lot of stamina among other things), and a Jinchuriki.

Next up was Mito against a pink haired girl named Sakura Haruno. It wasn't too surprising to see that Mito easily dominated the match and won in a short amount of time due to it being a girl that has trained since she was three and a girl that came from a civialian family.

When Mito won, she looked towards her brother for any sign of his approval. Her efforts were surprisingly rewarded when Naruto gave her a small knod of acknowledment, causing her to have a bright smile on her face.

Rolling his eyes at her excitement, Naruto turned his attention back to his partners before he heard Iruka call out.

"Next up is Naruto Uzumaki vs Sasuke Uchiha!"

This announcement gained the attention of the three Namikaze girls, Hinata, and Satsuki Uchiha (who was resting beside her mother). All of them were curious to see how well Naruto will do against an Uchiha (though the Namikazes were worried since as far as they knew, Naruto has had no training).

As the neglected Uzumaki walked onto the stage, he told his partners to observe the match.

Sasuke and Naruto were staring at one another as they made the sign of peace. Naruto smirked at his friend who gave him a challenging grin in return. Feeling the strong aura around Sasuke, Naruto was getting excited about the match.

"Begin!"

Sasuke jumped back instantly so to gain some distance from Naruto, who stood there and kept his gaze on Sasuke. The Uchiha took out three shurikens before throwing them at is blonde/red opponent with pinpoint accuracy. Taking out a kunai, Sasuke rushed at Naruto.

Said fighter focused his eyes on the incoming shurikens before he dodge the first one that reached him. As the other two crossed by him, he reached out and stuck his fingers in the holes of the weapons. Making sure they kept spinning, he tossed them back at their sender with high speed that they looked like a blur to many.

Sasuke's eyes widened at the incoming shurikens, rolling out of the way as he glared at his opponent slightly. He continued his rush at Naruto, kunai ready to begin slashing at his flesh. Waiting for him, Naruto flexed his fingers as he prepared to counter.

Reaching out, Naruto dodged an upward slash before lashing out with his knee and hit the bottom of Sasuke's kunai, knocking it out of his grip. This moved caused Sasuke to hesitate and allowed Naruto enough time to grab the kunai from the air and thrust the sharp weapon at Sasuke.

Thanks to his reflexs, Sasuke pulled out another kunai and blocked Naruto's attack. The two fighters were stuck in a power struggle as they grunted and glared at their opponent. 'He's actually really good,' Naruto thought. 'So let's take this up a knotch then.'

Naruto quickly moved to the side, the sudden action caused Sasuke to stumble forward. Channeling some aura to palm, Naruto slammed it into his chest which sent the Uchiha flying backwards. Naruto rushed towards Uchiha, ready to end the match as fast he could.

Sasuke, who just got his second wind, got up and started making handsigns. 'This will definitely tire me out since I haven't fully mastered it, but at least I will still win this!' he thought to himself as he made the final handsign and began molding the chakra in his mouth. "Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!" With a mighty lung forward, he released a ball of fire that was about as big as Naruto (not too big considering Naruto was not that tall).

The spectators were wide eyed at the use of the fire jutsu, but none more than the Namikaze girls. Kushina was about to jump in to stop the attack from reaching her son, knowing that he didn't have a technique to protect himself from the ball of fire (since he had no training).

Naruto was slightly surprised by the rushing fire ball, but he really should have expected this from an Uchiha. This jutsu is right of passage for the clan. Summoning up his aura once more, Naruto stopped running and put both of his hands forward and open palmed. His glowed slightly as his gathered aura began to form water.

"Water Gun!" he yelled out. The water that formed shot out like a jet and completely blocked the ball of fire. A small cloud of steam quickly formed as the Water Gun slowly pushed the Uchiha's jutsu back, before it obliterated it and rushed towards Sasuke.

Sasuke's eyes widened at the rushing water, not expecting Naruto to know a water jutsu (especially one that beat out his fire one). Too surprised, he didn't react in time as the jet of water slammed into and pushed him into a nearby tree. He slammed into it with another force that the tree shook violently.

Naruto breather a sigh of relief, realizing how much aura that the attack took from him. 'One of the most basic water attacks should not have taken that much aura from me. I still need to work on the water attacks if it does that,' he thought as he kept his eyes on Sasuke. So focused on Sasuke he missed the call from Iruka Umino.

"The winner of the match, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze!"

AN: Done! Finally I got time to do this chapter! I'm sorry for taking so long for this story, I got busy. College started back up for me, and I really needed to get good foot into it. Not to mention work and studies along with appointments and the rollercoaster of emotions I'm going through, they just kept me from getting to them. Now things have calmed down, I should be ok now. I hope this long chapter makes up for it. That's all I have for now, my next update will be a bit since my next update will be on my Rise of a Legend story (check it out if you haven't already).

Dragon Soul94 is out!
