Chapter 4: Graduation and team Assignments
(Time skip One day later)
Naruto worked all day and well into the night and finally mastered the Soul Punisher and after he managed to learn the Soul Punisher Goku and Vegeta fused into Gogeta to teach him the Big Bang Kamehameha, their most devastating attack. It took Naruto a long time to learn it but he decided to save it for an opponent who just needed to die. On the morning of the exam Naruto smashed one of his hundreds of thousands of alarm clocks and he leap out of bed and he quickly got dressed and ran out the door of his house then with a flare of Chi took to the air waving good bye to Vegeta and Goku who were sparing in the backyard. After a short flight he landed at the Hyūga compound and was greeted by the guards. Hinata ran out as she sensed Naruto's power approaching.
"Morning Naruto-kun." Hinata smiled
"Morning Hinata-chan." Naruto smiled back
"Ready to graduate Naruto?"
"Yep." Naruto smiled at her and they both channeled their Chakra/Chi and took to the skies and they landed at the academy. Naruto and Hinata walked into the class room Naruto pulled out a small capsule out of his pocket and opened it and placed the note on Iruka's desk and then walked to the back of the room and sat there playing with the size of the Soul Punisher eventually everyone arrived for the test and then Iruka and Mizuki walked and Iruka noticed the note and red it over and nodded to Naruto who nodded back floated crossed legged in the air arms crossed just because he could.
"Alright everyone welcome to the Graduation Exam today marks a very special day for the lot of you. For this test all of you will be judged on three ninja areas, Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and if you have anything else to demonstrate you will get extra credit. Let's go outside for the Taijutsu portion." everyone walked outside and there was a small ring and Mizuki walked into the arena and stood there. "For the Taijutsu portion you need to land a hit on Mizuki within 3 minutes if you can't you won't receive marks for this portion. You also won't receive mark" Iruka said then he looked at his list. "Up first Shino Aburame." Shino walked into the arena and took his hands out of his pockets and his Kikaichu swarmed around his arms and jacket. Most of the Sasuke-fangirls shivered in disgust but Naruto watched with a raised eyebrow as he watched Shino fight it was clear that Mizuki was holding back and at the one minute mark Shino landed a left hook on Mizuki's cheek.
"Nice job Shino." Mizuki smiled.
"Next Chōji Akimichi." Chōji walked toward the arena Naruto placed a hand on Chōji's shoulder.
"Chōji of all the people here you have some of the greatest potential."
"Thanks Naruto." Chōji smiled. Chōji strode confidently into the arena and got into his family's stance and when the time started he threw punches and kicks Mizuki dodged them pretty easily but at the one minute and forty five second mark Chōji landed a solid kick on Mizuki's chest.
"Good kick, Chōji." Mizuki smiled again.
"Next." (A/N: FANGIRLS MOVING ON!) After several failures it was Sakura's turn and she managed to slap Mizuki at the two minute and fifty nine second mark only because Mizuki was being paid to pass Sakura by her mother and most of the other Uchiha Ass kissers. "Next Hinata Hyūga." Hinata dropped into her Jūho stance and Mizuki charged her going as hard as the Hyūga elders paid him to go as they wanted Hinata branded with Caged bird Seal so she couldn't unite the clan like she desired to even though the branch and about half the main clans supported her. However Hinata simply smiled and her Byakugan flared to life and Mizuki instantly recognized his mistake and tried to back up but Hinata charged in.
"Jūho: Hakke Rokuju Yonsho!" (Gentle Step: Eight Trigrams Sixty Four Palms) Hinata roared out as she devastated Mizuki in a mere 15 seconds making her the top scoring Kunoichi.
"Next, Kiba Inuzuka." Kiba stepped up and dropped into his family's Taijutsu stance and after about forty five seconds Kiba landed a solid punch right in Mizuki's ribs and Mizuki congratulated Kiba as well. "Next, Shikamaru Nara." Shikamaru walked up muttering Troublesome under his breath. It took Shikamaru one minute and 50 seconds to land a blow on Mizuki and he too was congratulated. "Next Sasuke Uchiha." Sasuke's fangirls cheered him on and it took him only 15 seconds to land a blow on Mizuki as Mizuki let him get the strike in. "Next Naruto Uzumaki."
"Here is my chance to watch the demon brat squirm he won't be able to beat be at my full power." Mizuki thought and smiled encouragingly even though on the inside he was practically laughing like a maniac. Naruto smiled back and stood there his arms by his side not even getting into a stance. "He's not even getting into a stance this will be easier than I thought." Mizuki rushed in at full speed and kicked at Naruto only to go right through him and his eyes widened in shock and he felt a strong kick strike him in the back of the head and was knocked out of the ring.
"C-complete time… 5 seconds." Iruka said shocked. Instantly Sasuke's fangirls were yelling and Sakura yelled the loudest.
"CHEATER HE USED THE BUNSHIN TECHNIQUE HE SHOULD BE FAILED FOR THIS!"
"That's where you're wrong." Hinata said. "That was called the after image technique. With this technique Naruto-kun moves so fast that he creates an after image that can take the blow for him but by the time he's used the technique he moves behind the attacker and strikes before the opponent realizes what happens. This technique requires no preparation and can be used instantaneously and it uses no energy only pure speed."
"Well put Hinata-chan." Naruto said smiling. "As Hinata-chan said I move at such high speeds that only Goku-sensei and Vegeta-sensei can see my moves with perfect clarity."
"So you can move fast so what?" Mizuki said and charged again this time a Kunai in hand but Naruto grabbed Mizuki's wrist and snapped it cleanly then slammed Mizuki with 7 high speed punches and Mizuki coughed up blood and dropped to his knees.
"Try that again and I'll blast you to atoms." Naruto growled. "Am I clear?!"
"J-J-J-J-J-Just t-t-t-t-t-try i-i-i-i-i-it, D-D-D-D-D-D-Demon b-b-b-b-b-brat."
"Okay." Naruto cupped his hands like he was performing the Kamehameha. Mizuki started sweating like crazy, he didn't expect for Naruto to keep true to his threat. Mizuki closed his eyes as he prepared for the inevitable. However, when Naruto fires the attack, he releases confetti and streamers instead of the typical blue energy wave. Naruto stuck his tongue out and started laughing. "Hahahahahahaha oh I kill me!" Naruto clutched his ribs laughing some more.
"You're an idiot." Kurama slapped his face with his palm.
"I just wanted to scare him and it work perfectly."
"N-n-next, Ino Yamanaka." Iruka said. Ino didn't do much better than Sakura because she focused less on training and more on her looks. "Ok now that the Taijutsu portion we'll move on to Genjutsu you must dispel a specific illusion on yourself the more you can dispel in under 30 seconds the higher amount of points you receive. You must dispel at least 4 Genjutsu to pass."
"Oh shit I don't know how to control chakra I don't have any."
"Come down Kit I still have at least 5 tails worth of chakra I can dispel them for you." Kurama calmed his host.
"Thanks Kurama." Naruto breathed a sigh of relief. One by one the students were called up to test their Genjutsu dispelling skills, and again Hinata got the top score for the girls because she was able to instantly recognize what area the Genjutsu was effecting and shut it down with Jyuken. When it came to Sasuke he and Naruto were tied because they both dispelled the limit of 10 Genjutsu in under 30 seconds.
"Now for the final test. Ninjutsu." Naruto was excused but still preformed some extra techniques for extra credit. In the end he passed but he only had enough points to be dead last because he had to take a zero in Ninjutsu. Naruto went outside after he passed he went off to his house and landed at the front door and landed his headband wrapped on his arm and he went inside and placed expansion seals on the headband so if ever transformed into the Great Ape it wouldn't be destroyed. After he finished Naruto heard a knock at the door and he opened it to see Mizuki standing there.
"Hey Naruto I just wanted to come by and tell you there was a way for you to gain the rank Rookie of the year." Naruto smirked and just held out his hand.
"Yeah not falling for that. BIG BANG ATTACK!" with the unleashing of naruto's technique and it blasted Mizuki back and he crashed into the nearby training ground and it blew up. Mizuki was so surprised he didn't even have time for a Kawarimi. "Hn, dumbass." Naruto went out and trained some with Goku and Vegeta to improve his power and hopefully push himself to the limits of a normal Saiyan and reach a super Saiyan.
(Time skip the academy the next morning)
Naruto was sitting next to Hinata holding her hand and Naruto was hoping he was on her team his outfit also changed. He now wore a black flak jacket with the Uzumaki spiral on his right shoulder he also wore and orange under jacket which extended over his left arm. He had black weights on his arms. The undershirt was also weighted and weighted combat boots and reinforced with gravity seals which made moving difficult but Vegeta and Goku felt he was at the level where he need to be to start wearing weights. The outfit he wore was also covered in expansion seals for Naruto's Great Ape form. After a while everyone walked in sat down and Iruka walked and when Mizuki didn't Sakura raised her hand.
"Iruka sensei where is Mizuki-sensei?" Sakura asked.
"Mizuki was found dead about 3 hours ago when he was given an A-rank mission and he died on the mission.
"Heh fool always knew he was weak." Naruto said sticking to the cover story he and the Hokage had come up with.
"RESPECT MIZUKI-SENSEI YOU BAKA!" Sakura shouted but Naruto held out his palm.
"If you don't shut up I'll kill you with one blast…you'll die before another thought passes through your head." Naruto formed a Ki blast in his hand and prepared to fire it at a moment's notice.
"Anyway on to team assignments. Team one will be." Iruka continued (A/N: do I even need to say it?) "Team 7 will be Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sakura Haruno."
"FUCK!" Naruto and Hinata cursed.
"Team 8 will be, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, and Hinata Hyūga. Team 9 is still in circulation so team 10 will be Ino Yamanaka, Chōji Akimichi, and Shikamaru Nara."
"TAKE THAT INO-PIG TRUE LOVE CONQUERS ALL!" Naruto slammed his head on the desk over and over cursing his luck that he was stuck with two people he hated more than anyone.
"Now your sensei will be here soon and they will teach you and your sensei are as follows. "Team 1 sensei will be." (A/N: Moving on) "Team 7 sensei will be Kakashi Hatake, Team 8 will be Kurenai Yūhi, team 10 Asuma Sarutobi." As if on cue Kurenai and Asuma walked in followed by six others and one by one the teams left the room leaving only team 7. Naruto, who knew of Kakashi's habits from Goku and Vegeta who trained with Kakashi and on some nights as his sensei/ Big brother figures would often complain about his habit of showing up 3 hours late to everything other than a mission. Naruto started floating in midair and formed a Powerball in his hand the same one that is used to transform into the Great Ape and while he had full control over the form he hadn't had a lot of opportunity to use it.
"Maybe I'll transform just to spook my so called 'teammates' fucking assholes." Naruto thought. "Just for shits and giggles."
(Time skip 3 hours later)
Naruto was absolutely livid he now understood his Sensei's frustration at Kakashi's lateness. Now waiting for Kakashi had taken its toll on Naruto and he was done waiting.
"That's it!" Naruto got up. "I'm gone I don't care what you say but I refuse to waste valuable training time on waiting on someone who clearly doesn't respected us enough to show up on time!" Naruto placed his index finger and middle on his forehead.
"NARUTO-BAKA IF YOU LEAVE AND KAKSASHI SENSEI SHOWS UP AND YOU'RE NOT HERE AND HE SENDS US BACK TO THE ADADEMY I'LL KILL YOU!"
"Ja ne!" Naruto vanished and a few minutes later Kakashi arrived
"Sorry I'm late I got lost on the road of li-" Kakashi saw only two gennin there instead of three. "Uh where is your last teammate?"
"He left but it doesn't matter I'm worth 100 of that loser." Sasuke said.
"Well we should wait for him." So they did just that they waited and Naruto reappeared in the room holding cinnamon bun munching on it
"So Kakashi actually showed up." Naruto said. "Neat." Naruto took a bite of the cinnamon bun. "I can see why Hinata-chan loves these so much their really good." Naruto swallowed the bite of the pastry.
"Anyway we should go to the room meet me in ten minutes." Kakashi Shunshined to the roof and Naruto jumped out the window and floated up to the roof and sat in mid-air still eating the cinnamon bun. "You're a weird one Naruto."
"Thank you." Naruto smiled.
"You knew I was back at the academy didn't you."
"Yeah I did in fact when I used instant transmission it was your energy signature I locked on to." After about 10 minutes Sakura and Sasuke arrived on the roof Naruto was playing with a small cat with a ball of energy watching as the small cat chased the ball of light. Kakashi was reading Ichi Ichi Paradise.
"N-Naruto-B-baka!" Sakura screeched. "I'll kick your ass for this."
"Keep talking." Naruto waved her off not even bothering to acknowledging her presence.
"Anyway." Kakashi sweat dropped. "Let's start with introductions." Kakashi said eye smiling at his new potential students.
"Wh-wh-what do you mean introductions Sensei?" Sakura asked still short of breath.
"And she's supposed to be the smart one?" Naruto asked genuinely confused.
"I'm under the impression she's only got book smarts and excels in theory." Kurama said.
"Got to agree with you there Kurama." Naruto said.
"Yeah introductions you know likes, dislikes and dreams of the future." Kakashi said breaking the mental conversation.
"Why don't you go first sensei?" Sakura asked. "After all what's a better way to get to know our new sensei?"
"Ok fine… I am Hatake Kakashi. I have no intentions of telling you my likes and dislikes. As for my dream... I have few hobbies."
"All we got is his name." Sakura and Sasuke students thought.
"Next pinkie."
"My name is Sakura Haruno I like." She turns her head to Sasuke and bursts into a fit of giggles. "My dream is to…" She turns her head to Sasuke and bursts into a fit of giggles again.
"And what do you hate?"
"NARUTO-BAKA!"
"Oh no!" Naruto cried dramatically his hand pressed against his forehead. "How will I ever live without the approval Sakura Haruno?" Naruto said his voice oozing with sarcasm.
"You're a funny monkey aren't you Naruto?" Kurama laughed
"And you're a funny fox." Naruto retorted.
"Next emo pants." Kakashi said breaking Naruto's chat with Kurama.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha, I hate a lot of things and I don't particularly like anything, what I have is not a dream because I will make it a reality, I'm going to restore my clan and destroy a certain someone."
"Sasuke-kun is so cool!" Sakura swooned.
"He's an idiot if he thinks he can beat Itachi that guy was one of the best fights I've ever had." Naruto thought as he remembered the rush he got from fighting Itachi back when he was 7.
"Next Blondie."
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki my likes include training, strong opponents, and my girlfriend Hinata. My dislikes include arrogant people, weaklings who try throw their weight around like they are important and people who yell at other for every little thing. My hobbies include pushing myself to my limits and striving beyond them and being with Hinata-hime."
"Well at least one person knows the strength of bonds." Kakashi thought. "Alright tomorrow we will meet at training ground 7 at 6:00 am for our first mission." Kakashi says.
"What kind of mission?" Naruto asks
"If I tell you I can guarantee you won't like it."
"Tell us Kakashi-sensei." Sakura says
"A survival exercise, however this survival exercise has a 66.6% chance of failing, meaning of the 27 graduates only 9 will make it on to a squad." Kakashi then turns to his students.
"If I don't pass then Sasuke-kun and I will be separated NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!" Sakura screamed in her head.
"I'd recommend not eating Breakfast, unless you enjoy tossing your cookies"
"Hmmm have food in my belly and pass, or be starving and fail, that fork is a no brainer" Naruto said quietly to himself
"Good thing I'm on a diet to keep my figure for Sasuke-kun." Sakura said quietly "I've got this in the bag and that means I'll pass with Sasuke-kun and he'll love me and then we'll get married and I'll help Sasuke-kun revive his clan." Sakura squealed at the thought.
"D-does she live in her own little world?" Sasuke thought sweat dropping.
"That is one fangirl I don't want to be around for long." Naruto thought and he flew off to go home for some light 3 hour training with Goku and Vegeta before bed.
