Chapter 4
Naruto woke up when he heard a scream coming from below. He immediately put on his white coat and followed the noise until he found the source. Two thugs were making their way towards Tsunami while Inari stood between them, eyes full of fear but there was determination there. It would seem that his hunch was right, Gato was definitely a sleazebag. It was obvious that the tyrant was going to use Tazuna's daughter and grandson as a bargaining chip to get his way. Naruto would have none of that. He used his speed to appear in front of the two thugs, a palm over their hearts.
"Chakra Burst." Naruto whispered as a blast of tightly controlled chakra flew out of his palms that liquefied their hearts. They dropped dead as blood leaked out of their eyes, nose, and mouth due to the force of his attack. He lit a cigarette and took a long pull before breathing out the smoke. He turned to Inari who was looking at him in awe and patted the boy on the head. "Good job there, boya. You did good protecting your mother. Despite your attitude, I knew there was a hero in there somewhere in that body of yours. Anyway, considering that Gato is aiming for you, I suggest that you stay here and avoid leaving the house. I'll leave some of my clones to keep guard while I check out the bridge."
Naruto created six clones who immediately took up defensive positions around the house before making his way to the bridge, hoping he wasn't too late.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Naruto arrived at the bridge to see the mist dissipating. He saw Kakashi's signature technique impaling Zabuza's heart while Team 7 took out the fake Hunter-nin but left him alive since he was still breathing. He heard a clap somewhere behind the dissipating mist until it cleared enough to see Gato with an army of thugs and mercenaries behind him.
"Ha! Some demon! He couldn't even take care of a bunch of weak shinobi from the Leaf." the midget Gato shouted in malicious glee. "Too bad you killed him. I really wanted to put the man in his place. Oh well, at least I'll take you guys out before I kill Tazuna and destroy his bridge."
"Not on my watch you don't." Naruto murmured as he stood beside a tired Kakashi. "You alright there, Kakashi-san?"
Kakashi replaced his hitai-ate over his Sharingan eye before answering.
"My chakra is depleted."
Naruto nodded before turning to the Genins. Sasuke was full of needles but Sakura was doing a good job pulling them out and healing the boy. Sai was heavily panting with a few needles stuck in different places. They were definitely out so he would have to take care of Gato and his thugs.
"I'll take care of this, Kakashi-san." said Naruto as he made his way to army in front of him.
"Be careful." Kakashi urged.
"I'm always careful." answered Naruto before swinging both of his arms to the side as ten green chakra threads flew out of his fingers. "Let the dance of death begin." he murmured before blurring out of sight as the scream started.
Team 7 couldn't take their eyes off the carnage in front of them. They couldn't see Naruto but the white blur was enough to know that he was the one dispatching the mercenaries. Flickers of green seemed to wade through the bodies of attacking thugs before they were sliced to ribbons – blood, flesh, and bones were flying everywhere. Sakura already threw up her lunch while Sai and Sasuke were holding it together though they looked a bit pale as they witnessed the massacre in front of them. Kakashi looked the scene with a blank face since he already knew what Naruto was capable of. He read one of the reports a year back about a bandit group attacked a merchant caravan Naruto was protecting with a rookie Genin team. It was a bloodbath.
Naruto stood in front of Gato without speck of blood on his clothes. Despite the number of thugs he killed, he was quite clean.
"W-who a-are you?" exclaimed the fearful midget.
"The name is Uzumaki Naruto. But for cowards and tyrants like you, they call me Shinigami." Naruto told the man with a bloodthirsty grin that scared Gato even more.
"P-please, h-have mercy. I'll g-give you anything y-you want. J-just spare me." Gato stuttered out fearfully, unable to believe that single man could decimate his army. Three hundred heavily armed men were cut to ribbons without an ounce of mercy. Since he was behind his troops, he saw everything. The teen in white would appear and disappear as if he was an apparition, death followed his footsteps. The Shinigami given human form clad in a white coat.
"Hm….let me think….nah." said Naruto before placing a finger on the quivering man's forehead. "For your crimes against the people of Wave, your sentence is death. Die." he growled as a beam of pure chakra flew out the back of Gato's head before the man slumped down, dead to the world. Naruto stared at the man coldly before turning on his heels, making his way to the downed Team 7 to see if they were alright.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Since Gato was dead, Naruto had no reason staying in Wave. It had been two days since he killed the tyrannical businessman and his army. He already ransacked the man's mansion of everything he could get his hands on. He gave a few millions to Tazuna for Wave Country and placed the rest in a large sealing scroll that he stored inside the storage tattoo on his hand. He found a few documents from Gato's vault that the Sandaime needed to know – slave trading was banned in Fire Country after all so they needed to stomp the infection before it could spread…or another tyrant planning to take up the slack now that Gato was dead. Since Team 7's mission involved staying until the bridge was finished, he left early but not before giving each Genins a scroll containing some jutsus for each of them to learn and a training manual to follow. He did promise them after all and Uzumaki Naruto never breaks a promise if he could help it.
It took five hours to get to Konoha with his speed and immediately reported to the Hokage for a debriefing. He surrendered the documents to the aged leader, who in turn, gave it to an ANBU to be handed to Ibiki to end the slave trade in the country once and for all.
"I take it that you also took Gato's wealth as well?" the Sandaime asked though he already knew the answer. Naruto was meticulous in his work if nothing else.
Naruto nodded as he sat by the window, blowing smoke out into the wind.
"I gave half of it to Wave Country. The rest are still with me. I'll split it up into three – one third for me, one third for Team 7, and a third for the village. I hope that's alright with you, old man."
"That's fine. It's yours to do as you wish and it's kind of you to give some to Team 7." the aged leader said with a smile.
"Hey, they did all the hard work. They took down Zabuza and his partner, all I did was off Gato and his thugs." Naruto said with a shrug.
"Gato and 300 of his men." the Hokage pointed out the omission. He already knew everything that happened since the blonde reported everything in detail.
"Details." Naruto said dismissively. "So, is there anything else old man? I have some research I need to do."
"Actually there is. I want you to join this year's Chuunin Selection Exam."
"You want me to what?" Naruto exclaimed in disbelief. He couldn't remember how many times the old coot brought up the promotion and he was getting tired of it.
"You're not deaf." the Hokage chided. "I want to nominate you as a candidate for the exam. I can easily promote you to Chuunin since you're qualified to be one already but I know you wouldn't take it. Heck, with your very impressive mission accomplishment, I can even promote you to Jounin right off the bat if not for the uproar it would cause."
"Damn right I wouldn't. You know I'm happy as a Genin forever." Naruto said, leveling the smirking Hokage a glare as if daring him to challenge his declaration.
"Yes, I know. You told me that over a hundred times already. However, I want you to move up the ranks." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, showing a weakness that made Naruto frown. "I'm getting old, Naruto-kun, and I have a feeling that this will be my last year as Hokage so I want to make sure that you have the rank to back you up when I'm gone."
"I don't need protection." Naruto said indignantly before giving the aged leader a pointed look. "What do you mean this will be your last year as Hokage? Is there something I need to know about?"
The Sandaime nodded, his face turning serious.
"I received a report from Jiraiya via messenger toad that Orochimaru is planning to attack Konoha during the Chuunin Selection Exams. I know that he's set on destroying the village but I know that there is an ulterior motive behind this. Your joining the Chuunin Selection Exam serves two reasons. One, to grant you a promotion without causing problems. I think you know the Civilian Council is still out for your blood and Danzo is still adamant in training you as a weapon. If you're Chuunin then you have an added protection to their machinations."
"Fine fine. I'll join the exam if you really want me to." Naruto said with a sigh, finally giving in since he couldn't deny the fact that the Sandaime was right in his assumptions. Despite the fact that the Shinobi Council was on his side of the fence, the Elders, especially Danzo, and the Civilian Council could still make his life miserable with their machinations. "What's the second reason?"
"I want you to keep an eye out for Orochimaru. I'm sure that he will be infiltrating the exam so I want you to use your considerable…talents to find him. You don't need to engage him, just report everything you find out and I'll handle the rest."
"Sounds like an S-rank mission." Naruto said with a gleam in his eyes.
"It is an S-rank mission, unofficially of course." he added the last part to drive his point home.
"I'll take it then." Naruto agreed. "How can I join the exam if I don't have a team? I know there's a rule that a complete team is necessary to take the exam."
"Correct but an apprentice can take the exam if they are qualified enough and if approved by the apprentice's master. I haven't removed your status as an apprentice and Anko already gave her permission. She said it along the line of 'Hell yeah! Let him join and kick everyone's ass! I'll make a killing betting on him!'." the Sandaime said in amusement with Naruto chuckling. "Since you already have permission, you can join the exam without problems."
"Fine. I'll attend the exam. This could be fun and I'm quite bored lately doing nothing but missions and researching on bettering my techniques. Considering that Genins from other villages would be attending, I'm sure I'll get a few research ideas from them. Anyway, when is the exam and how many villages signed up?"
"The exam is in two weeks. I received a confirmation that teams from Suna, Kumo, Kusa, and Taki joined up. A new village that goes by Otogakure also signed up but only a single Genin team joined." Sarutobi said with a frown.
"Otogakure? Sound? That's definitely new." Naruto mused. "Anything we know about this 'new' village?"
"The only thing we know is that the village is hidden somewhere around Rice Country. We don't know who the leader is and Jiraiya's spies weren't able to infiltrate, much less find the village in question. Judging from their name, we can safely say that they specialize in sound-based techniques or something similar."
"Definitely a potential for research then." Naruto said in glee.
"Is research all you think about?"
"That's what I'm good at, old man."
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Naruto read the notes his clones made for him. Sure, he would get the memories of his clones when they dispel but a journal was quite useful since it was almost impossible to keep track of everything even with his control over his mindscape. The new entries in the journal detailed the clones experiment in perfecting the different Nature Transformation other than wind.
The reason for this was his disbelief that shinobi could only have one or two elemental affinity. Those with bloodline may acquire three depending on what their bloodline was. However, Naruto disabused that fact since it was quite possible to 'acquire' different affinities given time and training. He mastered wind since it was his affinity and already working his way to finishing the different exercises for fire. That was the reason why he was able to use Sasuke's jutsu without hand seal since he was already familiar with the way neutral chakra converts to fire.
The journal detailed his clones' achievement in earth, lightning, and water. Thanks to his access to the shinobi section of Konoha Library, he had all the elemental affinity exercises and delegated his clones to perfect them. If he was to gauge his progress, he was 100% wind, 80% fire, 20% water, 10% earth, and 10% lightning. Mastery would take a while for the last four elements but he didn't mind. He has plenty of time to master them thanks to his clones.
He closed his research journal before his eyes strayed to the piece of paper containing a note from the Hokage. It forbade him from bringing out Kurama during the exam for reasons that it would cause a panic of epic proportions if the bijuu was seen in public. Kurama raised quite a stink upon hearing that but quieted down when Naruto pointed out that he didn't need the headache the Civilian Council and the Elders would cause if they found out that he could bring out the most powerful bijuu in the Elemental Nations as a summon.
However, the note also mentioned that he could bring out Kurama if, and only if, the situation demands it. If Orochimaru pushed through with his planned invasion then Naruto would gleefully bring out Kurama with four-tails of his power to decimate any summons coming their way. Since Orochimaru held the Snake Summoning Contract, Naruto was sure that giant snakes would be making an appearance during the invasion.
Kurama drooled at the thought of burning the snakes down to ashes and a treat if the snake boss was one of them.
Naruto burned the letter with a small concentrated burst of chakra before making his way out of his make-shift lab underneath his apartment. He needed to meet with Team 7 to give them their share of Gato's loot. Besides, he wanted to gauge how they were doing with the training program he gave them, as well as test them on the jutsus he gifted the Genins. Naruto knew that Kakashi would be nominating them for the Chuunin Selections since he heard from Anko that Team 8, 9, and 10 were being nominated as well. Those jutsus would definitely help considering what they were up against.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
"What happened to Haku?" asked Naruto as he watched Team 7 face off against two of his clones in a 'friendly' spar though it was far from being friendly since his clones were being merciless in giving the three a beating for the trio to gain battle experience other than improving their individual skills.
"I don't know how it happened but Haku and Sasuke bonded, they became friends while were watching Tazuna as he finished his bridge. I don't know what Sasuke did but it broke Haku out of his suicide funk. He went back to Kiri to join the Bloodline Rebels liberate the country. He told me that it was Zabuza's wish to topple the Yondaime Mizukaze so he's going to join the anti-government faction and lend a helping hand." Kakashi explained before wincing when he saw one of Naruto's clone axe-kicked Sai into unconsciousness. "Do you have to be so rough on them?"
Naruto shrugged. "They asked for it. Besides, I was trained by Anko this way and I find pain to be an effective medium in teaching someone a lesson they will never forget." he explained to the one-eyed Jounin with a slightly sadistic smirk on his face.
"Anko isn't really a good role model." Kakashi deadpanned.
"And you are?" returned Naruto with a raised eyebrow as if daring him to disagree.
"Touche!"
"Besides, with this training method, they would be prepared for the Chuunin Exam in two weeks. Add the training regimen they do every day, they would most likely bulldoze through the competition barring a select few." Naruto admitted, pride swelling in his chest as he watched the progress of Team 7 with his training regimen, a slightly watered down version of it but it worked.
"You do know for a fact that you're also taking the exam." Kakashi pointed out. He was so going to tell his team to avoid Naruto at all cost if they want to survive to the last phase of the exam. Temporary sensei or not, he knew that Naruto would be merciful to them. "If they meet you then they are as good as defeated since I know you won't be showing any mercy even if they are your temporary students and comrades."
"Call it a survival test if you will." Naruto said with a dismissive wave of his hand.
"You're evil, you know that right?"
"Your point?"
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Naruto casually entered the Academy and made his way to the third floor, ignoring the genjutsu, as well as the Genins being intimidated by a disguised Izumo and Kotetsu to discourage their participation in the first phase of the exam. However, he stopped and palmed his face when Sasuke pointed out the genjutsu.
He turned around and approached the idiot before bonking him on the head with a fist, earning a snicker from Sakura and Sai who watched the two in amusement.
"Why in the world did you open your trap, Sasuke?" Naruto almost growled at the Sharingan-wielding boy who was nursing a bump on his head.
"But they were using a genjutsu. I just had to point it out." Sasuke whined. His time at Wave under Naruto's influence definitely mellowed him out. He was no longer the monosyllabic moron he was during the Academy and was letting his emotions out.
"Did you ever think that the genjutsu was placed there for a reason? A reason, oh I don't know, maybe, to eliminate the competition?" Naruto growled out with pure sarcasm in his voice.
Sasuke blinked.
"I didn't think of that." He said dumbly before he was bonked again. "Ow!"
"That's for not thinking." said Naruto before turning to a snickering Sakura. "Why didn't you stop him?"
"You know how hardheaded he is, Naruto-sensei." she deadpanned before snickering again.
Naruto sighed. "You can drop the –sensei now, Sakura. I'm done teaching you three so drop it." he told the pinkette who merely shrugged.
"Sure, Naruto-sensei." said Sakura causing Naruto to groan.
"Ugh. You're hopeless. All three of you are hopeless." Naruto sighed before gesturing for them to the stairs. He raised his hand just in time to catch a kick. "Not now, Lee." he said irritably to a Genin wearing green spandex and sporting a bowl-cut hairstyle.
"YOSH! YOU'RE AS YOUTHFUL AS EVER, NARUTO-KUN!" shouted Lee before he was forcefully thrown to a wall courtesy of an annoyed Naruto. The he collided so hard that his body left an indentation before comically sliding down to the floor.
"Damn it, Lee! Tone down your volume. Sheesh! Gai really made a mess turning you into his mini-me. One youthful idiot is enough for this village."
Lee jumped up as if nothing happened before giving Naruto his patented teeth-sparkling smile.
"YO…uh…yosh!" said Lee, toning down the volume when he saw Naruto raise a chakra-coated fist. He may be a glutton for punishment but he wasn't suicidal and annoying Naruto in a bad mood was definitely suicidal.
"Why did I ever agree to this exam?" Naruto cried out causing those who knew him to snicker.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
"How does your teammate know Naruto-sensei?" Sakura asked Tenten as they watched Sasuke trying to defend himself from Lee's speedy attacks. Lee introduced himself to Sasuke and wanted to fight him. His ego stroked by being called a prodigy by Lee, Sasuke took up the challenge and was getting his butt whooped.
"Why do you call him sensei?" Tenten asked curiously, wincing when Lee kicked Sasuke on the chin, sending the Uchiha off the ground.
"He taught us during our mission to Wave Country and left us a training program to follow afterwards. He even taught me medical jutsus and genjutsu so I can support my teammates." Sakura said proudly.
"Same old Naruto." Tenten said with a smile. "He did the same thing to us last year when we became Team 9. He accompanied us to a B-rank mission to Tea Country. When he saw our training lacking in some areas, he taught us for a week and gave a few pointers for Lee. In fact, Lee was the one who benefited the most from his training."
"What did he teach, Lee?" asked Sakura curiously.
"Lee can't channel chakra to do ninjutsu despite having chakra in spades." Tenten explained causing Sakura giving her an incredulous stare. "Really, his body produces chakra but he can't bring it out. Naruto taught him a unique way to channel chakra to augment his physical strength and speed. He still can't do ninjutsu or genjutsu to save his life but he can use chakra for body augmentation since it is all internal. If you don't believe me, check out Lee as he fights your teammate. You should see his muscles bulging at different intervals."
Sakura curiously observed Lee and definitely noticed what she was pointing at.
"You're right. Is that because of Naruto-sensei's training?" With her limited understand of human anatomy taught to her by Naruto, muscles shouldn't bulge that way. It was unnatural and totally new to her.
"Naruto taught him that. According to Gai-sensei, Naruto is considered a Chakra Sage by the Jounins due to his unparalleled control over his chakra and his knowledge of its intricacies and use. Not even the Hokage or the Legendary Medic, Tsunade-sama, can match him in the way he uses and channels his chakra to produce amazing techniques. He even taught me how to effectively channel chakra to my weapons to make it more effective in combat." said Tenten before pulling out a kunai and channeling a bit of chakra to it, coating the weapon in blue energy. She threw it to a wall, but instead of piercing through it, the tip hit the wall causing a small crater resulting Sakura's jaw falling to the floor in disbelief. "Nice, right? He taught me how to manipulate the chakra I channel to the weapon. I can make it sharp enough to pierce through anything or blunt the tip to cause a bludgeoning effect. It was a bitch to master and that's all I can do at the moment. He visited us last week and told me that I'm still halfway to perfect but getting there." She admitted ruefully.
"I didn't know Naruto-sensei was that powerful. I mean, I know he is good since he taught my team a lot in a week but I didn't know he was this good." Sakura exclaimed in shock though he was inwardly proud of having a sensei in someone only 2 years her senior.
"He is though he is very modest. As far as I can tell, Naruto doesn't like to flaunt despite how good he is. Gai-sensei told us that Naruto turned down all promotions from the Hokage. He is considered a Jounin by the shinobi he works with due to his abilities. I don't know why he turned it down but I know that Naruto is just crazy to do so."
"He is somewhat eccentric." Sakura said with a giggle.
"Somewhat?" asked Tenten in disbelief.
"Fine, he is eccentric but in a good way." Sakura gave in.
"True that. Anyway, I think we better join our teammate and get to the exam room. The fight just ended." said Tenten seeing her sensei appear and stopping Lee from finishing his Lotus technique on the somewhat bruised Uchiha.
Sakura also saw the end of the fight before sighing.
"Fortunately for me, Naruto-sensei taught me healing so I can patch Sasuke up. He definitely needs to rein in his urge to fight all the time." Sakura said with a shake of her head.
"Boys." said Tenten, her eyes rolling and Sakura nodding in agreement as they made their way to the trio in the middle of the chamber.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
"You got your butt kicked, didn't you?" Naruto asked a pouting Sasuke when Team 7 entered the exam room. The large classroom was filled with Genins from different villages and quite a few of them were eyeing him with trepidation, well, except for the red-head Suna Genin with a large gourd on his back since the boy was transmitting killing intent that would put most Jounins' to shame. Naruto wasn't affected though and found the intimidation tactic quite amusing.
"How come he's that strong?" Sasuke grunted out causing Naruto to sigh.
"Sasuke, you need to realize that you're not the strongest. There will always be someone stronger than you. Keep in mind that we are training to be powerful shinobi one day and our strength grows as we persevere. Lee is like that. He graduated a year early and has that time to hone his skills under the tutelage of his sensei. You and your team has only been Genins for four months. Even with the training program I devised for your team, you need to work on it to achieve the same level of strength Lee has." Naruto explained, oblivious to the fact that the entire room was listening to him now. "As a shinobi, it is not how powerful we are. It all boils down to what we can do with our power. Even with your Sharingan, admittedly a powerful doujutsu, Lee still defeated you because you can't match his speed and mastery of his taijutsu style. Your Sharingan can see him but your body can't keep up with his speed. Keep in mind that technique and experience trumps power any day."
"Easy for you to say, you're already strong enough to kick everyone's butt in this room." Sasuke couldn't help but point out.
"I wouldn't say that. I'm sure that these Genins have a trick or two up their sleeves that could put me down despite my skill. They might have to work for it but I'm sure they can achieve that if they can find my weakness." Naruto said with some amusement. "Besides, I trained my butt off when I started the Academy and never stopped, I have 9 years to hone my skills, growing every day not stopping to rest or to lounge around. I researched my techniques and trained with them every day, training to come up with different skills to back me up in a fight. I'm sure you'll attain the same strength if you continue to train. Besides, as a shinobi, we always improve. That's who we are."
"Well said." quipped Genin with ash-gray hair and wearing a pair of glasses. He was shuffling a deck of cards in his hands. "It's a surprise to finally see you in this exam."
"Why do you say that?" Naruto asked mildly, noting the amount of chakra the Genin was trying to suppress. It might have fooled everyone but not someone who mastered chakra. This Genin has chakra to rival Kakashi and then some.
"My name is Yakushi Kabuto." Kabuto introduced himself, not afraid of broadcasting his identity to everyone in the room. "It's quite a surprise to see someone of your caliber here, Naruto-sama."
Everyone turned to Naruto when they heard Kabuto add an honorific to his name. The blonde's eyes narrowed.
"Call me Naruto. No need for honorifics." Naruto told the teen. "I take it that you have information about me?"
"I do." said Kabuto as he fished out a card from his deck and held it out for everyone to see. In a puff of smoke, the blank card now had Naruto's face on it along with information at the bottom. "You're name is Uzumaki Naruto. Tokubetsu Genin. Mission record – 128 D-ranks, 30 C-ranks, 10 B-ranks, 10 A-ranks, and 1 S-rank. Known here in Konoha as the Chakra Sage and holds an entry in the Bingo Book as the White Shinigami of Konoha."
"You know too much for a Genin, Kabuto-san." said Naruto calmly though he was inwardly suspicious as to how a Genin have access to his mission records. He took a quick whiff and immediately smelled a slight scent of snake on the boy. His eyes narrowed. If the teen smell of snakes then he was either acquainted with Anko on a daily basis or… "As far as I know, access to mission records is strictly monitored by ANBU and the Hokage. It's quite suspicious for a Genin to have accurate information that only a Kage should know."
Kabuto blushed though Naruto saw that it was faked.
"I didn't get my info from the Archives, Naruto-sama. I've been a Genin for seven years now and I value information no matter how trivial it is. I asked around when I find someone interesting and you're definitely interesting. Besides, most of the information I got was from the Bingo Book.
"I see. That's good." said Naruto with a smile though the boy's casual admittance screamed fake. He was so going to keep an eye on him and report this to the Hokage. "Carry on then."
Kabuto turned to the rest of the Konoha Genins.
"This exam is very dangerous. Suna, Kusa, Taki, and Kumo are attending the exam and we can safely say that they brought their best. There's even a contingent from a new village called Otogakure though I am sure that they're not as dangerous compared to the rest." Kabuto boasted. It was after this declaration that a masked Genin from Oto attacked Kabuto but was able to dodge it. However, everyone was surprised when Kabuto's glasses cracked and heaved his lunch on the floor.
"Oto is the strongest in the Elemental Nation. Put that in your cards." the Oto Genin growled as he readied himself to punch Kabuto but stopped when a blue chakra blade stopped him. If he moved an inch more, the tip of the construct would have pierced his throat. He fearfully looked up to see the chakra blade coming from the index and middle finger of one Uzumaki Naruto who had a smile on his face.
"I suggest that you relax, Genin-kun. After all, it is not a good idea to pick a fight in a room of full of competitors." Naruto told the bandaged teen before releasing his hold on his construct causing the blade to disperse into particles before dissipating. "Why don't you just mosey along and go back to your teammates. The proctor just arrived to start the exam."
The stage was immediately engulfed in smoke before dissipating to reveal an intimidating man in a trench coat. Behind him was a squad of Chuunin glaring at all of them.
"ALRIGHT BRATS! NO FIGHTING OR YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED!" shouted Morino Ibiki. "GET A NUMBER AND TAKE YOUR SEAT! THE FIRST PART OF THE CHUUNIN SELECTION EXAM HAS BEGUN!"
