Author's Notes: Well guys, again I thank you for adding and reviewing my work. Again if I think your review needs a personal response I have done so through a PM. I would to thank my brother for beta-ing this again. So here is the start of the chunin exams! Enjoy!
Minato Namikaze, also known as the Yondaime Hokage, was sitting at his desk looking over numerous jounin senseis of several genin groups. "As you may know," Minato started smiling at them, "we have gotten an invitation from Kumo for the first Chunin exams this year." Whispers broke out as the senseis talked amongst themselves.
"Sir, aren't we still hostile with Kumo?" a random jounin asked. Minato shook his head.
"To be honest, our relationship is quite cloudy," this got a laugh out of a few people, "but no we are not hostile with them. So that is why I have accepted. Now how many of you are willing to send your teams to Kumo for the Chunin exams." Slowly, several jounins suggested their groups with the head of the village nodding his head writing them down. After a couple of minutes Minato asked, "Is there anyone else?"
"I Mikoto Uchiha nominate Itachi Uchiha, Yugao Uzuki and Naruto Uzumaki for these Chunin Exams," Mikoto said as she moved up from where she was. Several people started to murmur again, and no one noticed that Minato narrowed his eyes.
"Are you sure about this Mikoto?"
"Of course I am," the Uchiha matron replied. "I have faith in my team just like all the other jounin has in their team."
"But they are just rookies, not even a year into their genin days."
"That is true; however, you forget that my team has already successfully done eight C rank missions. Can any other genin team here boast that in their first year?" Many of the jounin in the room could feel the tension rising between their leader and Mikoto. Some were confused as to why he wouldn't let this one team go to a chunin exam, it's not like they would get past the first round right?
"I'll let them go," Minato said slowly. Mikoto smiled but it was quickly replaced by a frown by his next words, "only if someone would second the notion. Does anyone want to do that?" None of the jounin's spoke up. Sure they thought it would be a joke if the rookies went into the exams, but they did not want yet another competitor in it as well. This caused the Hokage to smile. "Well, it looks like-"
"I'll second the notion," an elderly voice interrupted the meeting. Looking towards the door, everyone saw Sarutobi Hiruzen with a pipe in hand.
"Hokage-sama," several jounin's, even the present Hokage, greeted. The old man smiled but shook his head.
"How many times do I have to tell you, I'm just a regular ninja now that hands out missions," Sarutobi smiled. He then turned to his successor. "As I was saying, I second the notion of squad nine going to the chunin exams in Kumo."
"But Sarutobi-sama-" Minato tried to reason, but was cut off with the older Hokage putting his hand up.
"Minato-kun, I hope you would trust my judgement in sending that team out. If anything it shows good faith in our up and coming ninja. Wouldn't you agree?" He smiled at the blond. After a few seconds Minato sighed and nodded his head.
"Fine, I'll allow team nine to go."
"Thank you," smiled Mikoto. "Now if you don't mind, I'll be getting the consent papers." Looking at the former Hokage she smiled at him, "Would you like to come and tell my team the news?"
"I would love to," Sarutobi replied. The two walked out of the room.
"The rest of you are dismissed to tell your teams as well," Minato said with a smile. The rest of the group bowed, before leaving as well. It was quiet for a moment before he spoke again, "I want you guys out of the room as well. I need some time to myself." Putting down a simple genjutsu to make them invisible, four ANBU, the special group of ninja that only listen to the Kage of the village, left the room too. He waited to make sure no one else was there before Minato put his hand on the desk, where a hidden seal was. The room glowed a bright blue before stopping. No sound was coming into the room, even though the window was open. Closing the blinds Minato took a deep breath before doing something no one would have expected. He grabbed some random object from his desk and threw it against the wall of the room, letting out a furious scream. Sitting down, he allowed himself to calm down and look at the situation carefully. Before long all he could do is frown. "Damn, if this keeps going on, the toad sage's second prophecy will come true. I will not allow that to happen. Naruto must lose at these chunin exams."
~At Tsunade's home Minutes Later~
It had been about three months since the whole mission with Yukie (he had kept his promise to Yukie and sent a letter once a week). Since then team nine had done only C rank missions since then. They all varied in difficulty: some had them guarding yet another person, another had them gathering data and trading it with another team from another country, and others had them taking stuff from other people. It was also during this time that Naruto and Itachi had experienced their first kill. They were guarding a caravan of merchants traveling through Fire Country to the border of Wind Country. As they approached the desert, several bandits appeared to steal from the caravan. While the members of the caravan could fight, Naruto's group was forced to as well. Both Naruto and Itachi had managed their first kill that day. None would talk for two days and they were trembling like mad. It was on the third day that Naruto got up and punched Itachi across the face, causing them to have a scuffle. In the end, a tired and beaten pair of shinobi were talking to each other about the experience, vowing to never enjoy killing. But today, it was Naruto's team's day off.
"Shizune-nee, when will you get a boyfriend?" asked a very bored Naruto. He was eating some instant ramen as he watched his surrogate sister lounge around the house.
"B-Be quiet!" an older girl, looking around the age of 17, stuttered. She was sitting down across from him. She was wearing a dark purple kimono with a fishnet shirt underneath. Around her waist was a large red obi tying it. "I just haven't found time to get one!" Shizune replied.
"That's what you said a month ago. You haven't gone on a mission in two weeks and Tsunade-chan hasn't given you any work. You should go on a date or something."
"Naruto-kun you're seven, I don't think you should be giving out dating advice."
"I have about a third of the village willing to be my girlfriend, I think I can give advice. Plus, Ero-sensei gives me great tips. Although I don't know what he means by sharpening my kunai a lot, or putting my sword into a girl's sheath. I mean I don't even have a sword, and my kunais are sharp. Huh? Shizune-nee why are you blushing?" the blond asked as he looked at the teen. Her face was beat red while he spoke, for unlike him Shizune understood what he was saying. "Seriously Shizune-nee are you sick or something?"
"I-I'm n-not sick Naruto-kun," the girl stuttered, shocked at the fact that her 'little brother' was taught something like that. "J-Just don't repeat those words again...for a long time. Especially in front of girls."
"Okay, but are you sure. You're still quiet red," the blond said worriedly to the girl. Shizune nodded again. "So as I was saying, you need a boyfriend. Even if it is Kakashi-baka!"
"I don't like him like that!" Shizune shouted. "He's a pervert and weird."
"Really?"
"I don't like him like that, really."
"Then you probably like someone else. Maybe Asuma-nii?" Shizune shook her head. "Um...Genma-san?" Another no. "Gai-san?"
"HELL NO!" Shizune shouted causing Naruto to flinch. "He's even weirder than Kakashi."
"I agree." Naruto then thought for a moment before opening his mouth again. "Then who do you like?"
"Um...I can't say..." she said slowly.
"Why?"
"Because there is an age difference between us, more than five years." Shizune was blushing, the thought of talking about this to Naruto.
"Is he older? Younger? Ew...if he was younger that make you a...pedo-...uh...pedo-"
"Pedophile," a voice finished for him.
"Yeah pedophile! Thanks Ero-sensei!" Naruto thanked the old man behind him, without looking back.
"No problem brat," Jiraiya smiled as he ruffled the blond's hair and sat next to him. "But is this true Shizune-chan? You like someone younger than you?" Shizune was blushing hard again.
"I-I-I-" Shizune couldn't complete her sentence.
"It's okay. We won't tell anyone, right Naruto?" Jiraiya asked the little boy.
"Right! We wouldn't do anything to hurt Shizune-nee after all." Naruto gave her a smile and a thumbs up, Jiraiya mimicked him. The blond then turned to the white haired man. "So Ero-sensei, what are you doing here?"
"What I can't just visit my favorite god son?"
"Well, when you come by the house it usually means you're here to sneak a peek at-" Naruto was stopped from talking when Jiraiya's hand clamped down his mouth.
"What are you doing brat? Hime may be around to hear you say that."
"Around to hear him say what?" Tsunade asked as she entered the kitchen to find a blushing and shocked Shizune, Jiraiya with a hand over Naruto's mouth, and Naruto looking a bit lost.
"Nothing important," Jiraiya forced a laugh before turning to Naruto with pleading eyes. "Right Naruto?" 'Come on Naruto lie for me here,' he thought.
"Sure, it was nothing Tsunade-chan," Naruto beamed at her acting his age.
"Then why is Shizune blushing."
"We just found out she's a pedophile." Shizune shrunk back a bit when he said that, then brew back even further when Tsunade raised an eyebrow at her.
"Whatever, brat your team is here to talk to you."
"Huh?" Naruto was confused again. "There isn't a team meeting today." Getting up and putting his dishes in the sink he left the room wondering what was going on. When he entered the living room he was met with Itachi, Yugao and Mikoto all sitting there waiting patiently. "Why are you guys here? Is there something going on?"
"Actually there is Naruto-kun," Mikoto happily said. "I have nominated you three to be part of the Chunin Exams held in Kumo."
"Really!" Naruto shouted excitedly. "All three of us are going?"
"That's right." The blond then turned to his teammates.
"You guys excited about this?"
"As if you even need to ask," Itachi scoffed, but there was a smile tugging at his lips.
"I'm willing to see how far we have come," Yugao admitted. This had Naruto break out smiling.
"This is going to be great!"
"Naruto-kun don't forget that these are an exams, and that you need to take this seriously," Mikoto told him.
"Of course Mikoto-sama, but I can't help but feel excited. We get to see how we rank amongst the other genin of the world. Where do you think we'll stand guys?"
"Um...the middle?" the purple haired girl guessed, unsure if this was a trick question.
"Never doubt yourself Yugao-senpai," Itachi said, he had decided to using her first name after knowing each other for this long. "If you think we are in the middle, then state it with conviction. But for me, I think we're somewhere near the bottom."
"I do too," Naruto agreed nodding his head.
"Why do you say that?" Yugao asked.
"Because I don't mind starting at the bottom."
"Why?"
"Because if we start at the bottom, we have to work our way up. If we work our way up, we'll end up showing the world our true potential," Itachi explained. "Isn't that right Naruto."
"Yeah, we'll prove to the others that we're not just some kids. That just like them we are ninja!" Naruto said with conviction that felt infectious. Yugao was now wearing a confident smile on her face. "Who's with me?" Itachi rolled his eyes and slapped Naruto on the back.
"Baka, we already said we were."
"What's all the commotion about?" Jiraiya asked as he, Tsunade and Shizune appeared from the kitchen. Naruto turned to them and smiled brightly.
"We're heading off to the Chunin Exams in Kumo."
"The Chunin Exams already?" Shizune gasped. "You guys are so young, I remembered I tried the chunin exams when I was twelve and became one when I was thirteen. You guys are advancing faster than I did. Are you sure you guys are ready for this."
"You should have more faith in us Shizune-nee. We'll make it through and become chunin, 'ttebayo!" A silent moment passed before any one could respond. The first to recover was Naruto. "Not again! Man, I hate it when I slip back into doing that." Itachi was chuckling behind him, the girls were giggling, while Jiraiya was out right laughing at him.
"Don't worry kid, some people just never get over that," he said. "But you be careful okay. The Chunin exams are serious stuff."
"I know, that's why I'm excited."
"Good, we'll be leaving in two days with the rest of the Konoha contingent," Mikoto told him. She then presented him with papers. "Fill these out and give them to me tomorrow, after that just rest for the next two days."
"Hai, Mikoto-sama." Naruto nodded. The rest of team nine bid their farewells and left leaving Naruto to do the paperwork. Tsunade went back into the kitchen and Jiraiya left to talk to Sarutobi, leaving Shizune once again to talk to Naruto. It was quiet as Naruto did the paperwork but since he felt the need to talk to the older teen, "So...is the boy you like someone we know?"
"NARUTO!" Shizune shouted.
~A week later~
The group had left Konoha were closing in on their destination. With nonstop running they had made it there within the week. Since most of the genin hadn't gone that far from Konoha, this was a sight to behold, but the thing that made it even more spectacular was the scenery. Thy were so high up in the mountains that they were literally in the clouds. For some odd reason though, Naruto felt at home when he arrived, which worried him.
"This place looks beautiful," Naruto was snapped out of his thoughts as Yugao mentioned that next to him. "We're so high up and mountains look so nice."
"If you've seen one mountain you've seen them all," Naruto mumbled. "But the air feels fresher here." Itachi merely nodded his head. The large contingent then entered through the gates of Kumo. Naruto looked around the village and noticed that most of the ninja in the village had a sword.
"You noticed it too huh Naruto?" Itachi whispered. Naruto nodded. "We don't have much experience against sword carrying opponents.
"We'll manage somehow." As they walked forward, they were lead to the hotel they were going to stay in. As was given to every group, they were given a room each with two beds, a couch with a pull out bed, and a couple of seats. Naruto and Itachi had decided to let both Mikoto and Yugao have the bed, while they would trade off on the pull out one and sleeping in a sleeping bag. After settling in, they Mikoto had given them the day to familiarize themselves with the area. Itachi was leading the group as they exited the hotel.
"So where do you two want to go first?" Itachi asked.
"Let's just have a look around, the exams won't start until tomorrow anyway," Yugao suggested.
"Actually I was thinking of going to get some food," Naruto said. "I'm kind of hungry."
"Didn't we just have lunch?" Itachi questioned him.
"That was like three hours ago," Naruto whined. Itachi rolled his eyes.
"Fine, let's go find something for you to eat." Naruto jumped for joy as they walked around the village looking for a food stand that Naruto would like, i.e. a ramen stand. As they walked around all three of them noticed the different villages that were there. Minor villages such as Ame (rain) who must have traveled a long way to get there, as well as the Onsen village, and Kusa. Other than Konoha the only other major village that seemed to agree to go was Iwa. When they passed by the Iwa group, Naruto had hid in between some buildings, knowing full well what they may do to him considering who is father was.
When they finally decided to sit down and eat, at a ramen stand of course, Naruto had ordered whatever their largest serving was which was called the Spicy Thunder special, that was super spicy and super salty, which would be free if the person could eat it under thirty minutes without water. Now since he was friends with Itachi who taught him (beat into him), to eat properly he no longer gulps down the food. Naruto was taking time to savor the soup as he ate it, but still at faster pace than the other two. While Yugao had been accustomed to seeing him eat vast amounts of ramen when he could, the vendor was looking at the blond with slight awe and horror as Naruto plowed through the food.
"Does he always eat like this?" the ramen vendor asked Itachi.
"No," Itachi calmly replied as he ate his salty ramen with a boiled egg, "he's usually faster than this." That made the vendor even more horrified, worried about his sales.
"That's right, back at home Naruto-san would be at his third bowl right now, which would be roughly the same size as this," Yugao interjected as she ate her miso ramen with chicken breasts. Seconds later Naruto put the bowl down and had a smile on his face.
"That was some great ramen old man!" he smiled at him. "I haven't had anything that spicy in awhile. Plus the serving size was great too!"
"You finished that gigantic bowl in ten minutes," the vendor whispered, nearly crying for the loss of extra income.
"Hmm...oh yeah? Wasn't it that if I could eat it under thirty minutes without a drink it's free right?" The vender nodded his head. "Do you think I can have another one then?" Naruto smiled, "If I don't eat it within the same thirty minutes I'll pay for both of them." That had the vendor's head shooting up.
"Really?"
"Don't do it," Itachi warned. "You'll just lose more money. When it comes to ramen, almost no one can compete with this boy." The vendor then remember what they said about Naruto eating more than that and thanked Itachi for the warning.
"Fine then," Naruto scanned the menu again before finding something that caught his eye. "I'll have an order red bean soup with mochi on it please!"
"Okay..." the vendor replied, once again looking at his lost income. The porridge was given to Naruto who slurpped that one too, but a more sedate pace. So slow in fact that Itachi and Yugao were able to finish their ramen five minutes before Naruto could finish the soup. "How come you eat that a lot slower than the ramen?"
"Not a lot of people now this, but this soup is my favorite thing to eat next to ramen," Naruto told the vendor after paying for the soup. "It's sweet enough to fix the salty taste that the ramen leaves behind."
"Hm...never thought of it like that before," the vendor replied. Naruto was about to go on but stopped when Itachi nodded at him. Naruto nodded back before disappearing from his seat.
"Hey where did he go?" the ramen vendor asked.
"He went to get our uninvited guest," Itachi announced, while Yugao nodded beside them. While they were not great sensors, they had trained enough to know when people are following them. Naruto came through the flaps of the entrance a few seconds later, pulling along a girl with brown hair done in a ponytail. She was wearing a black and purple shirt and black shorts. A kumo headband was on her forehead, although from the looks of it she was a quite a bit older than them, probably the same age as Yugao. "Who are you and why are you spying on us?" Itachi demanded as Naruto plopped her down onto the stool. The blond also noticed the dark look that the vendor sent the girl.
The girl looked shocked, probably due to the fact that Naruto had managed to bring her into the shop while also getting the drop on her. After snapping out of it, she looked at each of the three genin. "I am Yugito Nii, genin of Kumo. I saw some Konoha headbands and wondered what they were doing here," Yugito explained. She seemed uncomfortable sitting there and Naruto noticed this too.
"We're here for the exams," Itachi stated with absolutely no emotion in his voice.
"I see," Yugito said before looking at Naruto.
"Is there another reason you're here?" the Uchiha demanded.
"Just one question, why does he smell like a cat?" she asked pointing at Naruto.
"Gah! You mean that lion's spit smell is still on me!" Naruto shouted. "It's been two years already and I still smell like that?"
"I don't smell anything," Yugao stated.
"Neither do I," Itachi agreed.
"How come I can smell it then?" Yugao asked sounding...disappointed? Naruto was sure that was the tone she took up when she said that. "Whatever then." The Kumo ninja stood up and was about to leave but turned to them, "As a resident of Kumo I would like to welcome you to your village and wish you luck in the Chunin exams. When we do meet up we will be enemies then." Yugao nodded at them before running away. When she was gone both Itachi and Naruto frowned.
"She has an advantage against us now," Itachi told the other two.
"Yeah, if she can smell me out she'll be able to find us, and if we fight we won't be able to expect and ambush," Naruto continued.
"Then why don't you keep practicing that one move you have Naruto-san," Yugao suggested again. "The one that will let you know where people are around you?"
"I'll have to keep doing that then. We need to stock up on chakra replenishing pills too if we want to do that," Naruto said. "That move will take out a lot of chakra from me." After their brief lunch the trio left and were walking around the village. After some time they had accidentally come across a training field that was in use. Itachi was telling them to leave the area, but Naruto was rooted at the spot. He was watching the two sparring with an excited smile on his face.
The two fighting were two buff men. They were both dark skinned and had platinum blond hair, and oddly enough both had small beards too. The only way to actually tell them apart other than the clothing they they had was one had sunglasses and was rapping extremely bad. Naruto was ignoring that though. All he saw, or what he didn't see, was the other man, who was covered in lightning who had kept disappearing before his eyes, just like his dad did when when he used the Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique). Before Itachi could stop him Naruto ran out onto the field as the two stopped fighting.
"That was so cool!" Naruto shouted as he ran onto the field. The two men tensed but calmed down, just a little, when they saw the boy running onto the field who was followed by two other people.
"This field is reserved for us only. How did you get here?" the man without the glasses asked.
"We were wondering around and accidentally made our way here," Itachi explained. "I'm also sorry for the actions for my friend, we did not mean to interrupt your training."
"It's okay little girl boy! Meeting with kids is such a great joy!" the man with the sunglasses rapped.
"B...will you not rap right now," the other man grunted.
"Don't be such a downer bro! Rapping like this is the way to go!" B continued on horrible rapping.
"Whoa! You rhyme really well, do you mind if I go for a spell?" Naruto asked in the same way. The blond and B laughed in amusement while the other man and Itachi face palmed. Since Yugao was on her own, she noticed the odd similarities between the two groups which frightened her a bit.
"Sorry for my brother's horrible rapping," the other man apologized. "My name is A, and that is my idiot brother Killer B."
"Itachi, the idiot talking to your brother is Naruto, while the female next to me is Yugao," Itachi introduced his team without giving their last names.
"I take it you three are here for the Chunin Exams, seeing as you are from Konoha," Itachi nodded, the two males then looked back towards their counterparts who were rapping...or trying to.
"Hey Itachi, listen here!" Naruto started with a small sentence.
"A, our rhyme are likes worms in you ear!" Killer B continued.
"I'm mean we're pretty cool!"
"And we do go to some rhyme school!"
"What do you think bro?"
"Our rhyming is one hell of a show?" Both Itachi and A had twitching eyes at the sheer...stupidity the two had presented.
"Oh kami this is going to be hell," both A and Itachi said at the same time.
"You're not half bad kid, not with all the rhymes you just did," B complimented Naruto.
"Thanks, but rapping is not my thing. I came here to ask your bro how he's fast as lightning," Naruto said. That made A and B freeze.
"What did you say?" A asked.
"I wanted to know how you're so fast. That odd lightning move you did, the one that made you really fast! I wanted to know how you did it."
"Sorry kid, but it's Kumo secret."
"Oh," Naruto deflated.
"Naruto leave it alone, we have to go," Itachi stated. "Mikoto-sensei may be looking for us." Itachi was taking care of avoiding giving out more information than he should.
"Yeah, yeah," Naruto answered, before a smirk appeared on his face. "Hey A? How about a bet?"
"A bet?" A asked.
"If I could make it to the third round of the Chunin Exams, you'll show me how to do that technique."
"What a silly bet. Why would I do something as stupid as giving a kid the move that only Raikages know?"
"Because I can bet something on the line too, something that would make it your while."
"What would that be?"
"An Uzumaki," Naruto said with the utmost confidence. That had A's eyes widen, while B remained relative quiet. Behind him Itachi and Yugao looked mortified.
"An Uzumaki?" A said carefully.
"Yup. One with the power to seal and control bijuu and bind jinchuuriki." That had A trembling, his father had messed up getting an Uzumaki by the name of Kushina, how could he trust a mere boy to get one for him.
"How can I be so sure you can accomplish this?"
"Trust me I have my ways, I'll even sign a contract if I have to." A looked at Naruto, who seemed so confident in his end of the bargain. There were a few tense moments of silence, before A nodded.
"Fine but we won't need a contract. I mean, a little kid like you wouldn't be able to fool me a jounin."
"True. So we have a deal?" Naruto had stretched out his arm, which A shook. When he did, A was surprised to see a black mark appear around his wrist.
"What the heck is this?" Naruto smiled.
"While I may be only seven years old A-san, that doesn't mean I'm stupid. I had taken up a small interest in seals and that is one of the ones I got used to. It's an explosive seal, which can only be taken off by me since it requires something only I have."
"Why did you put this on me?"
"Just a little...um...what's the word again...insurance that you keep your end of the bargain."
"How come you don't have one?"
"Who says I don't?" Naruto showed his wrist to A. "It will detonate if I don't hold up my end of the bargain as well." A stared at him before grunting.
"Fine. B let's go, we're late for an appointment." A turned around and left the clearing leaving only Killer B and the kids.
"Well, that was pretty cocky of you little dude. You're ways of tricking bro was quite crude," B smiled. "But I like that about you, just be sure you don't bite off more than you can chew!" B then disappeared with a a puff of smoke. When they were gone, Itachi walked up to Naruto and punched him across the face.
"What the heck do you think you are doing!" Itachi roared, which scared Yugao. He showing more emotion than Yugao was used to seeing, but Naruto had seen this side before too. "Did you know this could be considered treason!"
"I know, but it's not like I'm putting anyone important on the line here," Naruto reasoned as he stood up.
"Not putting anyone on the line? I can't think of any Uzumaki that can do what you offered other than Kushina Namikaze, formerly Uzumaki! Are you saying that you are offering her to Kumo!" Yugao was surprised at the information, she never knew Kushina Namikaze was related to Naruto in someway.
"I'm not saying that!" Naruto roared back, punching Itachi in the process. "I didn't offer her up."
"Then who? One of the twins? I sure as hell know that they can't do anything like that yet."
"Not them either."
"Then who?"
"Me." Again a tense silence broke out between the group.
"You...You're offering yourself up...just to learn a stupid technique?" Itachi growled.
"Think of it as you will, but I need to learn that move," Naruto stared at Itachi.
"You're playing a dangerous game here Naruto."
"I know, but all I have to do is meet the requirements to win."
"Which is?"
"Make it to the finals." Again another silence reigned over the group.
"Damn it Naruto you are stupid, but it seems like you need my help again," Itachi sighed. "I'm not happy about your decision , but I don't want to lose a friend. No matter how stupid he is."
"Naruto-san, don't make any more rash decisions," Yugao reprimanded him. "I too don't want to see you leave through this."
"That is why our team will give it our all, not just for a promotion, but for you as well idiot," Itachi said confidently.
"Guys...Thanks," Naruto said with a smile.
"Don't thank us yet," Itachi told him. "The road you put us on is going to be long and hard."
"I know. Mikoto-sama should not catch wind of this you hear?" The other two nodded. "Good let's head back." As they began to walk back Yugao then just remembered something.
"Can you really do what you offered? Seal bijuu and confine jinchuuriki?"
"Yup."
"How do we know you're not lying?"
"Because I used it once today, to catch our little guest."
~With A and Killer B~
A went to a sealing specialist to confirm what Naruto had put on him, which was unfortunately true. Only Naruto could take it off and it would explode if he didn't honor his end of the deal. "That sneaky brat..." A cursed under his breath. Next to him, B was laughing hard.
"Admit bro you've been had! Out foxed by a young lad!" B laughed.
"This is no laughing matter B. If this is how good the brat is, then we may have a problem. I may be the first Raikage to lose that technique to a brat out side of our own village."
"Don't make such a fuss, in the exams we have our own little genius! Oh Yeah!" The Raikage known as A nodded his head then.
"That is true, not only that Iwa seems to have sent a prodigy as well." A put on a pensive face before smiling, "This year may just be the year of the super rookies, and while I may have been duped by one, I don't mind watching how things will pan out. Even for that Naruto brat."
End Author's Note: Didn't see that coming did you?So tell me what you think. Leave a review so I can know!
