Chapter 4: SA Formation; A new teacher

It's been another month and a half since Naruto and Hinata started on their Haki training and it caused another dramatic increase to their skills. Naruto's continued improvement of his skills got him from the dead last to his class's top students. He still used his Kage Bunshin to increase his skills and his Haki training which is going good, though not as a master level, just to where he can use it in battle. So far, Naruto and Hinata can use their Busoshoku Haki to deflect punches and kicks from their opponents as well as using a small amount of it in their offense attacks with Hinata, herself, incorporate it in her Juken, and used Kenbunshoku Haki in her spars. With his level of Kenbunshoku Haki, Naruto is able to predict every one of his opponents moves, though, Jun and Hiruzen told Naruto to work on improving his speed, because just because he can predict opponents moves, doesn't mean that he'll be able to dodge or defend himself fast enough. His progression had gained the attention of many of his fellow students with the exception of Hiromi and Hinata, and teachers. Many teachers were wondering how he had progressed so quickly and sensed something familiar to what Hiromi pulled before. Many teachers were evaluating their treatment of Naruto, especially when Iruka was around. He never condoned what they did to the Uzumaki twins, especially Naruto and would defend them against anyone who tried to speak ill of them. Iruka and the Uzumaki twins' relationship progressed to the point that they went for ramen almost every night.

Hinata and the Uzumaki twins' friendship had progressed as well, albeit slowly. They become more comfortable around each other which caused Hinata to lose her stutter. She did, however, still blush around Naruto but she rarely fainted unless he was to hug her in excitement or do something else along the same lines. Hiromi tries from here and there to improve the friendship between her brother and the Hyuga heiress to something more than friends, so Naruto could forget about as she dubbed Sakura as 'that overgrown fore-headed freak', but some strange reason, Naruto can't seem to drop his feelings for Sakura and it was annoying Hiromi greatly.

Kiba, who at first thought that Naruto was a loser, saw a rival in him and aims to not to let Naruto beat him again. This also sparked a slow and steady friendship between the two because the both of them were loud and hated anything that was pretty boring. It was also the same with Shikamaru and Choji who were also curious to Naruto's improvement in his skills.

Naruto had also become good friends with Shino. One day during lunch, Naruto saw Shino all by himself and so Naruto headed over and asked if he wanted to join them. Shino was at first skeptical. He was never very social and people tended to leave his clan alone because of their relationship to bugs. When Shino expressed this and showed the Uzumaki twins and their friends the insects inside his body, they were freaked and grossed out at first, but they got used to it with Naruto stating that it made Shino different and different wasn't bad. Shino had never had someone express an interest in his companionship, not had he ever met someone who didn't think his bugs were gross. He decided to eat with them and they all became fast friends.

Everything wasn't so easy for Naruto, however, with the exception of Kiba, Hinata, Shino, Shikamaru, Choji, and Hiromi, everyone else seemed to treat him the same, if not worse than before. Sakura and Ino continually tried to put him down and claim that he was trying to be cool like their 'Sasuke-kun' and it followed with them being thrown into garbage cans by a very pissed off Hiromi, which she dubs as 'taking out the trash' or retorts with an insult that would make many people laugh at them to make the two 'fan-girls' feel even worse. Sasuke's 'fan girls' hated Hiromi even more because she defeated their idol and humiliated him. Sasuke, himself, is still sore at the fact that Hiromi had beaten him in front everyone in class and a few of them were beginning to see that the Uchiha clan aren't so tough since Hiromi defeated him and Hiromi's reputation as the Akai Chishio no Sukeban had rose as many of the students were even more fearful of the elder Uzumaki twin and not dared to make her angry.

Sasuke tried to go to the Civilian Council to get the Uzumaki twins to confess to how they are getting so strong, but their hands were tied. Every time that they tried to get a few ANBUs to follow them to their training spot, the ANBUs tailing them are found on the ground with their necks snapped and/or badly beaten and since they were doing this behind Hiruzen's back, they had to stop sending ANBUs or Hiruzen will get suspicious to the decline of ANBU, so one of the elders, Danzo tried using one of his ROOT operatives to follow them, but it ended with the same result and ceased giving out valuable ROOT operatives. Danzo was getting really annoyed since he wanted the Uzumaki twins under his thumb ever since they were born. The civilian council were greatly angered and pissed off that they couldn't do anything to stop the Uzumaki twins' progress or their families will be threatened by the mysterious kunoichi. They also were forced to have the Uzumaki twins shop at their stores as well for decent food and/or clothing in decent prices…or else.

Right now, we find the Uzumaki twins walking toward the academy with them and they were in a good mood since it was almost the end of the semester with them being at the top of their class. Soon they entered the room were they see Shikamaru sleeping in his desk, Choji in his seat eating a bag of barbeque chips, Kiba starching his partner, Akamaru's, ear, Shino staring at the window, and Hinata in her seat with her now noticing the Uzumaki twins and she smiled at them.

"Good morning!" Naruto says, with a smile with the others replying back and the twins taking their seats. Soon enough, Iruka came inside of the room with another Chunin with shoulder length silver hair following him.

"All right class, that's enough talking; it's time to start your final exam to see how much you remember from this semester." Iruka said as he walked to his desk never minding the groans of anger and hate, "Also, I'd like to meet another sensei that will help me from now on."

The silver haired male steps up, "Hello, my name is Mizuki, and I am here to make sure that you, the next generation of Konoha shinobi will prepared for the ninja world." He said as the class nodded and said their hellos as Mizuki glares at the Uzumaki twins, especially Naruto, "And to make sure that you fail, Uzumaki Naruto!" he thought.

The twins noticed Mizuki glaring at them with them thinking that this guy will be a problem for them. Just then, there was a knock on the door with Iruka replying for the person to come in. As soon as the door open, a familiar face of Ishida Akako comes in and which is a shock to every student and the senseis.

"No way! It's Ishida Akako, the teenage detective!" one of the students exclaims.

"What would she be doing here!?"

"Wow! She's even prettier in person!"

Naruto looks at Hiromi with confusion and Hiromi, herself, is confused with the situation as well since Ishida Akako is her own persona when she's doing detective work.

Iruka steps up to Akako, "Uh hello! May I help you?" he asked

"Yes! I here for an overseer for this class!" Akako replied

"What do you mean by 'overseer'?" Mizuki inquired

"I've been asked by Hokage-sama to see if the new sensei of these students is doing his job correctly!" Akako says, with a sharp glare to Mizuki, who grit his teeth in annoyance, believing that the Hokage is on to him. Of course, Mizuki and Iruka knew all too well about Ishida Akako's reputation as an Ace detective on par with mythical Sherlock Holmes. "Even if this girl is a good detective, she's only a mere civilian and I'm an experienced Chunin. I'd have to be very discreet on how I try to fail the brat!" Mizuki thought in his mind with a smirk as he passed out the test.

Half way through the test and only five people were or done, or semi done with it; Sakura, Hiromi, Shino, Sasuke and partially Shikamaru who had given up at the 15th question when it asked for the savior of the village. Naruto was about a quarter of the way through. In his own mind, Naruto was happy and ecstatic about finding the test easy after studying with his Kage Bunshin, when a hand came down and grabbed his test.

"Uzumaki Naruto, you fail this test!" Naruto looked up and saw Mizuki standing there with a frown on his face.

"What? WHY?" Naruto demanded

"For cheating! That's why!" Just as Mizuki was going to rip Naruto's unfinished test in front of him, a feminine hand grabs Mizuki's right wrist and Akako's voice rings in.

"Just exactly how did he cheat, Mizuki-san!" Mizuki looks over to see Akako standing by him with a glare in her eyes.

"Unhand me, girl! He did cheat! I saw it with my own eyes!" Mizuki insisted while trying to loosen the grip that Akako had on him which was pretty strong for a civilian.

"What's going on here, you two?" Iruka asked walking in between Mizuki and Akako.

"Iruka, this girl is not letting me do my job! I found Uzumaki Naruto cheating and she won't let me fail him!" Mizuki accused pointing at Akako.

"And I'm asking you how did he cheat…there are two that he's sitting next to: his sister, Uzumaki Hiromi-san and Inuzuka Kiba-kun! Judging by what I've heard from about him, Inuzuka-kun has one of the lowest grades in this class. You'd have to be a complete idiot to actually look at his test to be actually cheating off of Inuzuka-kun, no offense. As for Uzumaki-san, while from what I understand about her is that she may help and defend Uzumaki-kun because he's her brother and all, she isn't the type that would allow Uzumaki-kun to cheat off of her and one important piece of evidence…she was the first one to finish her test." Akako informed, "Also, I didn't see Uzumaki-kun with the answer sheet and I highly doubt that he'd get it from a Chunin, right?"

Mizuki had the expression that he had sucked a lemon at what Akako had said and Iruka looked at him with confusion. Mizuki knew that he had been caught since he didn't think things through, because he had underestimated Akako and he hated the feel of humiliation from a civilian of all people. Swallowing his pride, Mizuki gave Naruto his test back for him to continue and went back to his desk while silently glaring at Akako.

Later…

After the written exam was done, the student left the room for lunch outside on the academy grounds with the Uzumaki twins, who were eating their Ichiraku ramen, were with their friends who were eating their lunches. It was peaceful until…

"Hey Hiromi!"

The twins glance to see Sasuke walking towards them, mostly Hiromi, which got Naruto to act by getting in front of him.

"What do you want, teme?" Naruto asked nastily

"I'm not here for you, dobe! I'm here for your sister!" Sasuke replied just as nastily

"Well, she doesn't want to talk you! So, just leave already 'ttebayo!"

Sasuke tries to push Naruto out of the way, but Naruto grabs his wrist and pushes Sasuke away. "Like I said, Nee-chan doesn't want to see you right now, dattebayo!" Naruto yells at him.

"I think that's for Hiromi to decide for herself!" Sasuke said.

"She's eating her ramen, you jerk! Don't interrupt her!" Kiba barked, getting in front of Sasuke with a glare of his own.

"Trust us, Sasuke, you don't want to interrupt Hiromi when she's eating ramen! It's far too troublesome!" Shikamaru added

"Yeah! That's just like messing with a bear during its hibernation, dattebayo!" Naruto said

Sasuke glares at the other boys, "First of all, I'm surprised that the dobe, here, actually know what 'hibernation' is. Second of all, I want Hiromi to fight me, again!" he replied. Soon enough, there were laughs coming from Naruto, Kiba, and Choji.

"You fight Hiromi! You must be out of your mind! Hell, even Naruto's not stupid enough to actually pick a fight with her!" Kiba howled with laughter.

"I think that teme here wants to kiss his newest fan-girl: THE DIRT! Because you'll be kissing her again real soon if you want that rematch 'ttebayo!" Naruto laughed

Sasuke's annoyance increased when he hears the continued laughter from Naruto, Kiba, and Choji and soon enough, he pushes through them and walks towards Hiromi, who was still slurping her noodles. "Hiromi, stop eating and fight me!" He demanded

Hiromi ignores him in response which annoys Sasuke to no end and he goes to kick the bowl from Hiromi's hands, but it he's interrupted by Naruto and Kiba who pull him away from Hiromi.

"I'm telling you teme! You REALLY don't want to do this 'ttebayo!" Naruto warned him

"Listen to Naruto for once! He's telling the truth! You NEVER under any circumstances interrupt Hiromi when she's EATING RAMEN unless you have a death wish!" Kiba added

"Yeah! No kidding! The last kid that did never left the hospital!" Choji said

Sasuke clenches his teeth, "Get out of my way, you idiots! This does not even concern you at the least!" he demanded

"I just do want Nee-chan to get into trouble for beating the life out of you 'ttebayo!" Naruto informed

"Why don't you wait until the Taijutsu exam today?" Shino inquired, "You may get your chance to fight Hiromi again should she win again."

Sasuke grunts in thought while hating to admit that the Aburame had a point. He knew about Hiromi's skills and he had no doubt that she'll come up on top. "Fine, whatever!" Sasuke turns and walks away from the group with Hiromi finally finishing her ramen with the others, especially Naruto and Kiba sighing in relief.

"That was close, dattebayo!" Naruto said

"You said it! The last thing to happen was another 'Hiromi induced incident'." Kiba added

"What do mean by that?" Hiromi asked, which got her brother and friends freaked out while thinking about another subject to bring out.

"It's nothing, Hiromi! Really!" Choji said, laughing nervously.

"Uh…we were just talking about the Taijutsu exam today!" Kiba said, with a nervous smile and tone, "I was just saying that I was going to kick Naruto's butt should we end up facing each other!"

Naruto glares at Kiba, annoyed, "And I was just going to say that I'm going to enjoy kicking Kiba's butt, again, twice as hard, dattebayo!" he said with his own nervous smile with both boys glaring at each with electrical glares.

"Troublesome!" Shikamaru muttered

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Winner, Uchiha Sasuke!" Iruka declared as Sasuke stood over his opponent, who was Hibachi, and his fan girl screaming in delight of his name. Sasuke walks away from the ring and Mizuki helps Hibachi up to his feet, slowly, and walked him to the ring.

"Uzumaki Hiromi against Haruno Sakura!" Iruka called out.

"Excuse me, guys, but I've got a fan girl to destroy!" Hiromi said, cracking her knuckles as she and Sakura enters the ring.

"So, how short will this fight be?" Kiba asked

"Really short!" Choji replied

"Ready…!" Iruka called out as the two girls get into Academy stances.

"The only problem I have is how to finish you 'ttebano!" Hiromi said, with a smirk.

"Just shut up! I'm going to make you eat those words!" Sakura replied, nastily.

"…begin!"

Sakura charges after Hiromi with her fist cocked back, but miss as Hiromi jumps over Sakura and lands away from the pink haired girl. Sakura then charges after her with her fist cocked back, but Hiromi's fist was slammed to her stomach, knocking the wind out of her and throwing her outside of the ring.

"Winner, Uzumaki Hiromi!" Iruka called out, then runs over to Sakura's aid.

Hiromi then walked out of the ring with a smug look on her face with many of her female peers glaring at her with anger and hate.

"Uzumaki Naruto against Hiloshi Unagi!" Iruka called out, after helping Sakura, who said that she's okay.

"Don't lose this one, Naruto, because I want to fight you next!" Kiba said

"Don't worry, I won't lose!" Naruto said, with a smirk and he and Unagi walk over to the ring. Mizuki places a sinister smirk on his face, planning on sabotaging Naruto's match. Earlier, he had a few jonin class shinobi, who also hated Naruto for holding the Kyuubi, hide within the trees and throw stones at Naruto's head for him to be distracted.

"Begin!"

Unagi charges after Naruto, trying to finish the spar with his fist cocked back to punch him. Naruto then moves out of the way, but Unagi then quickly throws his right foot to Naruto's side, but Naruto's Kenbunshoku Haki allowed him to notice Unagi's kick and Naruto does a backflip to move away from the kick. Unagi then charges at Naruto to throw his right fist at him, but stops it while throwing another punch with his other fist to fake him out. However, Naruto's Kenbunshoku Haki knew about that in advance and uses his Busoshoku Haki right hand to block it, while throwing Unagi's left hand away so hard that Unagi, unconsciously, twists his body away allowing Naruto to counterattack with a hard punch to the side with his right fist, knocking the wind out of Unagi and sends an uppercut to Unagi's chin, knocking him down to the ground, stunning him.

"Winner, Uzumaki Naruto!"

Many of Naruto's classmates had the expressions of surprise and annoyance at the blond's victory. Mizuki was seething in anger, wondering what could have happened to those jonin and Akako places a devious smirk on her face. Naruto walks over to his sister and friends, who were congratulating him.

"That idiot won another match!" Sakura seethed, angry with the fact that BOTH Uzumaki twins were moving on to the next round while she wasn't and expecting a full on insults and taunts from Hiromi about it.

"Midterms was supposed to be once in a blue moon that Naruto was supposed to advance! Has he been training or something?" Ino asked, "Whatever it is…it's actually helping him and we can't accuse him of cheating since Iruka-sensei and Mizuki-sensei are here as well as Akako-san and she has the sharpest eyes around."

"Okay moving on! Yamanaka Ino against Hyuga Hinata!" Iruka called out, after the ring was cleared out.

"Don't worry, Hinata-chan! You've got this!" Hiromi said, with a smile.

"Yeah! It's Ino were talking about! She hasn't gotten close to Nee-chan's skills like you have and you almost won against her, dattebayo!" Naruto added with a smile, unfortunately, Ino heard what he said.

"I heard that, Naruto-baka!" Ino yelled, angrily, "I'm going to win this and get you for that comment!" Soon enough, Ino and Hinata walked to the middle of the ring with Iruka declaring the match to begin.

"I'm going to win this match, Hinata!" Ino exclaimed, dashing toward Hinata with her fist cocked back. Of course, Hinata slams her right palm with was coated with a small amount Busoshoku Haki, knocking her outside of the ring.

"Winner, Hyuga Hinata!"

The Uzumaki twins cheered loudly at their friend's win and went over to congratulate her.

"Awesome hit, Hinata!" Naruto exclaimed

Hinata blushes at Naruto's comment, "Tha-Thanks you, Naruto-kun!" she said, "But I hope that Ino-san is okay! I didn't mean to actually throw her out!"

"Oh don't worry about her, Hinata-chan! She'll live! Come on!" Hiromi said, in a dismissive tone and the three left the arena with Iruka calling out for Shino and Shikamaru, who just said that he quit, much to Iruka's annoyance of the Nara heir's laziness. After many fights during the first round, the fight went with Iruka calling out Sasuke and Kiba's names.

"Good luck, Kiba!" Naruto cheered out.

"Just you wait, Naruto! I'll definitely beat Sasuke!" Kiba said with a smirk, "After Hiromi defeated him, I know that he's not invincible." Kiba then walked toward the ring where Sasuke was standing on with his fan-girls cheering for him to beat the 'mutt'. Sasuke and Kiba got into their respectable clan stances and Iruka declared the match to begin.

Kiba charges after Sasuke with a punch to Sasuke's face, but Sasuke blocks the punch and swings his left leg to Kiba's chest, but the Inuzuka does a black flip to avoid it. Kiba then ducks another punch from Sasuke and swings in a swift uppercut to Sasuke's jaw. Sasuke moves back from the punch and perform a kick to Kiba's head, but Kiba jumps back from the kick.

"Alright Kiba!" Naruto cheered out

"You're doing great, man!" Choji added

"Oh please! You dumb boys don't get it that Sasuke-kun is actually toying with dog boy just thinking that he has the upper hand!" Ino said in a smug tone.

"Someone who didn't make past the first round has no business criticizing the senses of those who have, dattebano!" Hiromi insulted, earning Ino's ire

Ino screeches at Hiromi, pointing at the red haired girl, "You know what, Hiromi, just because both you and that brother of yours made past the first round doesn't mean that gives you the right to be all high and mighty! Just you wait! Once Sasuke-kun takes care of dog boy and that loser brother of yours, he'll take care of you and you won't be that lucky again!"

"And we'll be waiting for any dirty tricks that you may pull against Sasuke-kun, Hiromi!" Sakura added

Hiromi scoffed, "That is if you losers can actually see any of those 'dirty tricks', dattebano! Also, if I were the two of you, I'd watch the fight, because your Ahouchiha isn't fairing too good against Inuzuka-kun, dattebano." The two girls turned and see which is true as they see Sasuke getting into defensive mode against Kiba's attacks. Kiba dashes behind Sasuke with a swift kick in the chest, causing Sasuke to stumble forward and Kiba performs a kick to Sasuke's legs, but Sasuke jumps and goes to kick Kiba's face. Kiba moves away from the kick and gives a hard kick to Sasuke's side, knocking him to the ground. Sasuke jumps back to his feet and blocks Kiba's punches.

"It seems that Inuzuka-kun has done his homework. The Uchiha Clan's fighting style, the Interceptor Fist, is a style that effectively made to predict and counterattacks against opponents, but that's also its weakness. The Inuzuka Clan's fighting style is too wild and unpredictable for Uchiha to counterattack." Hiromi stated

"Does that mean that Kiba might actually beat Sasuke?" Choji asked

"It's still too close to call!" Hiromi replied

After defending against Kiba's attacks, Sasuke moves back far away from Kiba to plan for a counterattack, before the five minute marker goes off to declare a draw, which would not suit well for Sasuke. However, it may not get the chance as he keeps moving back, Kiba keeps advancing forward to attack. Kiba tried to punch Sasuke's face, but the youngest Uchiha dodges and kicks Kiba's face, knocking him down. It didn't stop there as Sasuke tackled Kiba from the back, knocking him down, and brought his fist down in a club like fashion on Kiba's head. Sasuke's fan-girls kept cheering him on to give 'dog boy' a beating that made Kiba's head bled a little, but Sasuke wouldn't stop regardless.

As Sasuke raised his first to pound it down again, he was stopped before he could even swing downwards looking up he saw Iruka, gripping his hand and his face was anger and disappointment.

"What do you think you're doing, Sasuke?" Iruka asked, sternly, "I declared you the winner! There's no need for you to keep going!"

Sasuke grunts as he gets off of Kiba's back and walks outside of the ring with his fan-girls congratulating him. Kiba's friends went over to help him up.

"Hey Kiba, you okay man! Shake it off, dattebayo!" Naruto exclaimed worriedly for the dog user and Akamaru nudging against his owner's ankle. Naruto glared at Sasuke, angrily, hating him even more than he already did and there's no way that he'll ever forgive him for what he did to Kiba, one of his friends. Not just Naruto was angry at Sasuke, but Choji, Shikamaru, Hiromi, and even the kind and gentle Hinata, and the emotionless Shino were vivid with Sasuke's actions. Soon enough, the group walked outside of the ring with Kiba on their shoulders and Mizuki sent him to the nurse's office. The many fights progressed, the Uzumaki twins and many of their friends kept sending Sasuke angry filled glares.

"Damn that guy! Even what he's done, how could Sakura-chan still like him?" Naruto stated angrily.

"There's no telling with the brainless, Naruto! It's best as if you forget about her and move on." Hiromi said.

"Uzumaki Naruto against Akimichi Choji!" Iruka called out with Naruto and Choji walked in the center of the ring and stood a few meters away from each other.

"Hey Choji, let the better man win 'ttebayo!" Naruto said with a smile.

Choji nodded, "Okay!"

Iruka raised his hand and just as he dropped it and yelled, "Begin!"

Naruto immediately dashes toward Choji, but Naruto moves back from Choji, who tried to grab him and intending to throw him out of the ring. Naruto uses his speed to move around to find an opening, remembering what Hiromi told him about the Akimichi Clan's fighting style. The Akimichi Clan focuses more on their strength than their speed since their bulky masses and the only way to stop them is through speed unless members of the Nara and Yamanaka clan aren't around since their abilities are at their best with members of the said clans. Naruto's small than average physique and incredible speed had a huge advantage against Choji's big and round one.

Seeing Naruto moving away from Choji's attacks, many people are shocked to see this kind of display since they were expecting Naruto to charge head on against Choji without a plan.

"Don't tell me that Naruto is actually using his head for once on handling Choji!" Ino said in disbelief

"Oh he'll stop! He can't run away from Choji forever!" Sakura added

Choji moves to throw a punch to Naruto's face, but the blond moves quickly and uses his Busoshoku Haki coated right hand to hit Choji's chest, knocking him down to his back while not seriously hurting him and Naruto hovers his fist to Choji's face.

"Winner, Uzumaki Naruto!" Iruka called in disbelief and happy for Naruto's victory.

Many people were surprised at this to see someone as small as Naruto could push someone like Choji to the ground. Naruto offers his hand to Choji, who gratefully accepted it, and helped him up to his feet.

Mizuki was seething wondering why didn't the jonin that he plotted to sabotage Naruto didn't show up. Akako had a satisfying smile on her face when seeing this.

"I don't believe it! Naruto…that little…twerp manage to knock Choji down!" Ami said with disbelief

"It's got to be a fluke! That's it! There's no way that someone like Naruto could actually do that!" Sakura said in denial, "Choji must have lost his footing! That's it! Choji must have lost his footing!"

"I'm not too sure if it was a fluke!" Ino said

"What do you mean?" Sakura asked

"In my match with Hinata, I was flown outside of the ring when she hit me with her palm!" Ino said, remembering her earlier fight, "Hinata did that as if I…was nothing to her."

"What are you trying to say, Yamanaka?" Ami asked

"Who in our class is known for her monster strength?" Ino asked, glaring at Hiromi who was congratulating her brother.

"Hiromi…!" Sakura seethed

"Imagine what that kid would do should he faces Sasuke-kun with that kind of strength!" Ino pointed out.

"Whoa! Hold it, pig! You're serious thinking that a stupid brat like Naruto could actually beat Sasuke-kun!" Sakura asked, annoyed, "If Naruto-baka could do that, then the same can go for Sasuke-kun!"

On the meanwhile, Sasuke was staring at Naruto, seriously, "How…just how the hell did that idiot manage to do that! The same went with Hinata! Somehow they managed to increase their physical strength! Naruto manage to knock Choji down and Hinata managed to knock Ino out of the ring! How is something like that possible? The only one capable of pulling that off is…Hiromi!" he thought, looking at Hiromi, "How does someone increase ones strength within a short amount of time? Could that be the secret to Hiromi's inhuman strength! I must figure it out and I must have that power to face HIM once I've awaken my Sharingan!"

The Final Exam tournament went on with the same people that were in the semi-finals in the Midterm Tournament had managed to make it to the final round of their respectable branches. Iruka then called for Naruto, after removing his weights, and Sasuke to appear in the ring which they did while standing a few meters apart.

"Okay, the dobe has some kind weird physic ability like Hiromi and can throw people even bigger than him away with minimum effort. I need to know what kind of power. The only way I may know for sure if the Uzumaki twins have a Kekkai Genkai or not is to see the fight between both Hiromi and Hinata. I'm sure that Naruto may use that weird ability of his to see my attacks. I have to be really careful about approaching him. I can't think of him as that same loser as before until I know for sure." Sasuke thought

Naruto glares at Sasuke with great serious and anger, "I will defeat Sasuke-teme, dattebayo! This is for Kiba! For what that bastard has done to him!" he thought.

"Begin!"

Naruto immediately charges after Sasuke, who then charges after him has well. When they got close, Sasuke tries to hit Naruto's face with his right elbow, but Naruto moves away from the elbow and ducks from Sasuke's sneak attack which was a left screw punch and hits Sasuke's chest with a small amount of his Busoshoku Haki punch, causing the Uchiha to howl in pain as he's thrown away, but manages to get his footing. Sasuke rubs his ribs, nursing the blow that Naruto gave him, and Naruto then dashes over to Sasuke and slams his fist to his face. That punch knocked Sasuke away, but he bounced on his right hand and landed on his feet. Sasuke pants while feeling the injuries that he got from Naruto's attacks.

Sasuke then shook off the pain and charges after Naruto, who does the same, the punches were thrown and caught by each other. Sasuke then goes for a high kick to Naruto's face, but the blond moves away. Naruto and Sasuke then throw their punches and they hit each other's faces at the same time, knocking them away from each other.

Sasuke then throws a low kick to Naruto's feet, but Naruto jumps high to avoid them and throws a hard roundhouse kick to Sasuke's head. However, Sasuke stops Naruto's kick by grabbing his ankle and goes to throw him to the ground, but Naruto slams his Busoshoku Haki coated hands to the ground and uses the added momentum to take Sasuke by surprise by throwing his foot to Sasuke's chin, knocking him away and to the ground. Not giving up, Sasuke quickly jumps to his feet and goes to throw multiple punches to Naruto with great speed, hoping for one of them to hit. However, Naruto's Kenbunshoku Haki allowed him to either dodge or block every single one of them and any additional kicks from Sasuke's vicious attacks. It was long until some of Sasuke's attacks managed to actually hit Naruto's face and chest and Naruto quickly moves to the side as Sasuke charges at him.

Mizuki's anger is growing with every second that the fight continues and Naruto's growing progression. "Damn it! Where are they? How come they're not doing what they were going to do to make sure this brat loses?" he thought, clenching his teeth. He couldn't just go in and stop the fight in Sasuke's favor since he now knows that he's currently being watched for any signs of foul play. Mizuki blamed all of his short comings to Akako since she has been interfering with his work since the morning during the written exam and after when he volunteered for Iruka to grade the written exam, in hopes in trying to fail Naruto and as a bonus, Hiromi. However, Akako was looking over his shoulder which was annoying him, but Akako said that she's just doing her job to ensure that Mizuki was grading the tests correctly.

Back in the fight, Sasuke jumps up to dodge Naruto's low roundhouse kick and performs a butterfly kick to Naruto's head, but Naruto moves out of the way and performs a hook kick to Sasuke's face. However, the Uchiha blocks it with his left forearm and Naruto uses it has a springing board to gain some distance away from him. Soon enough, Sasuke and Naruto then charges after one another to continue their fight until Iruka called out for the boys to stop fighting.

Iruka placed a smile on his face, "You boys had went pasted the five minute line, so I declare this match a tie!" he pronounced

"A tie!" The boys screamed out with Naruto being the loudest.

"No way! That's impossible!"

"Naruto actually tied with Sasuke!"

"There's no way that's possible that idiot managed to tie against Sasuke-kun!" Sakura exclaimed, seriously.

"No! I refuse to have it end in a tie!" Sasuke yelled out, angrily, "Let me fight one more time!"

Iruka shook his head in reply, "I can't! I have to make time for the two finals from the girl's division, Sasuke. I'm sorry!" he replied

"Who cares?" Sasuke roared out, "I refuse to tie with this idiot over here! And besides, it's pretty obvious that weakling, Hinata, is inferior to Hiromi so why bother having a fight when you know the obvious outcome! How someone as weak as she is managed to get this far is beyond m-ACK!" Sasuke punched hard in the face, but Naruto who gets an angry look on his face.

"Take that back, you jerk!" Naruto exclaimed, angrily, "Don't talk down to Hinata that way again 'ttebayo! It's true that Nee-chan is strong, but the same goes for Hinata too, 'ttebayo! I'm not going to take you insulting my friends that way, dattebayo!"

On the meanwhile, Hinata's face is glowing red from Naruto's compliment and him defending her.

"Okay, that's enough!" Iruka exclaimed, getting in between the two boys, "I'm not going to allow any fighting! Now, get off the ring and let the girls fight or both of you fail!"

"You can't do that to me!" Sasuke yelled, angrily, "I'm an Uchiha! You can't fail an Uchiha!"

"Get a grip, you little brat!" Akako exclaimed, annoyed, "It doesn't matter whether you come from an elite clan or not! You're still an Academy student and you don't talk back to your Chunin instructor like the way that you're doing! You treat them with respect until you do become a Chunin!"

Sasuke was seething mad, "How dare you…?"

"What gives you the right to talk to Sasuke-kun that way?" Ami exclaimed

Sakura joins in, "Yeah! You may be a detective, but you still have no right to…" Akako sends a small Killer Intent, KI, at the fan-girls causing them to shiver in fear and they took a step back.

"I'd watch what I say if I were you, little girl!" Akako says, coldly, "I can have you recommended to be kicked out of the academy, regardless of who your family is! Don't cross me! You may continue, Iruka-san."

Iruka nodded, as Sasuke and Naruto leaves the ring while both boys are glaring at each other, "Okay now, I'd like for both Uzumaki Hiromi and Hyuga Hinata to enter the stage." He said with the two girls walking to the ring, standing a few meters apart and then Iruka called the match to begin.

Hiromi and Hinata charge toward one another with Hiromi throwing the first punch, but Hinata ducks from the and throws a palm strike to Hiromi's chin, but Hiromi moves out of the way. Hiromi then throws a high roundhouse kick to Hinata's head, but Hinata blocks that kick and hits Hiromi's chest knocking her back. However, Hiromi turns and gives Hinata a hard reserve roundhouse kick to her right side, knocking her off balance. Hiromi goes in to strike Hinata again, but the Hyuga heiress has on her Kenbunshoku no Haki and quickly moves out of the way. Hinata then throws her own reserve roundhouse kick to Hiromi's head, but Hiromi ducks from the kick and goes for the punch to Hinata's temple.

Hinata blocks Hiromi's punch and throws her right palm to Hiromi's face, but Hiromi blocks that attack too and throws Hinata over her shoulder and then to the air. Hiromi then jumps into the air to the heiress who manages to recover and blocks Hiromi's jab with both of her Busoshoku no Haki powered palms, which throws Hiromi back to the ground and Hinata landing a few inches away from her.

"No way! Hinata is actually keeping up with Hiromi!" Sakura exclaimed, with disbelief.

"And she would have won had Hiromi didn't pulled one of her dirty tricks to predict her moves!" Ino said.

After regaining her breath, Hinata dashes after Hiromi with a high roundhouse kick to the head, but Hiromi dodges it and Hinata follows with a forward palm strike to Hiromi's face, but Hiromi throws that away as well. Hiromi then throws a hard punch to Hinata's abdomen, knocking her to the ground.

"Winner of the girl's division, Uzumaki Hiromi!"

Hiromi then helps Hinata up, while congratulating on her improvements since the last time they've fought and they walked out of the ring.

"Alright class, this year Final Exam tournament is going to be in a three way battle royale with Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Hiromi, and Uzumaki Naruto." Iruka declared, which there were whispers on the subject.

"A battle royale! No doubt that the Uzumaki twins would use this as an advantage against Sasuke-kun!" Ino said.

"So what? It's not as if Sasuke-kun is going to lose!" Sakura said.

Sasuke looks at the Uzumaki twins, "A battle royale! This could be a problem considering with the dobe's improvements and Hiromi's already great skill! They may gang up on me to get me out of the way! That's fine! I'll still win!" he thought, with an arrogant smile.

"I give up!" Naruto declared, which many of his peers looked at Naruto as if he grew another head.

"You…you give up! But why, Naruto?" Iruka asked, perplexed

Sasuke scoffed, "It's seems that the dobe is scared to fight me!" he proclaimed

"What! Me scared of you, teme! As if! I just don't want to fight Nee-chan, dattebayo! You don't scare me as much as she does! She'd clean my clock and yours, dattebayo! Remember what happened last time!" Naruto said, seriously.

"Shut up, dobe! That was before!" Sasuke yelled out, angrily.

"And it won't end like before! Your sister may have beaten Sasuke-kun before, but you can only get lucky once!" Sakura pointed out

"Oh please! I was only going easy on Uchiha before, Haruno," Hiromi said, throwing away her scarf, armguards, and headband to the ground, "Now, it's personal!"

"You actually gave up doing the battle royale, Naruto?" Choji asked

"That was a smart thing to do considering how you'll be fighting." Shino added

"Considering that Hiromi knows every one of Naruto's moves, left from right." Shikamaru said.

Sasuke and Hiromi were facing each other a few meters apart and Iruka called out for the fight to begin. Sasuke then charges after Hiromi with a superman punch to her face, but Hiromi jumps to dodge it and kicks Sasuke's chin, knocking him away and went after him.

"Where do you think you're going, asshole?" Hiromi asked, grabbing Sasuke's right arm and punched him multiple times in the face, angering his fan-girls declaring Hiromi's taking 'cheap shots' at 'their Sasuke-kun'.

"I'm not going anywhere! This spot is just perfect for me!" Sasuke then grabs Hiromi's arm that it currently grabbing his own and used the other one to punch Hiromi's face, but Hiromi moves her head away and goes to punch Sasuke's face multiple times again. Soon enough, Sasuke and Hiromi kept punching each other's faces until Sasuke goes in to do a low roundhouse kick to Hiromi's feet, but the red haired girl jumps up and stomps onto Sasuke's head. Hiromi then yanks Sasuke to his feet and quickly slams her fist to Sasuke's face, knocking him away from her.

With cat-like reflexes, Sasuke lands onto his feet and lunges at Hiromi throwing a fist to Hiromi's forehead and when it connected, Sasuke was surprised to see that Hiromi hadn't bunged from his attack.

"Come on, Ahouchiha! Is that all you got?" Hiromi taunted, punching Sasuke into the air. Hiromi then jumps into the air to attack Sasuke, who manages to recover from Hiromi's punch, and Sasuke moves to lunge at Hiromi. Hiromi dodges Sasuke's attack and punched Sasuke's stomach, then continue to bash him around and kicked him hard for him to hit the ground. Hiromi lands onto her feet and he sees a log in Sasuke's place. Sasuke then appears behind Hiromi to attack her, but with her Kenbunshoku no Haki, Hiromi knew what Sasuke was planning and moves to perform a hard roundhouse kick to Sasuke's ribs, which caused the Sasuke that appeared behind Hiromi to disappear, revealing it to be a regular clone. The force of Hiromi's kick caused Sasuke to be thrown out of the ring.

Seeing Sasuke flown out of the ring, Iruka called out, "Winner of the Final Exam tournament, Uzumaki Hiro…!"

"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!"

Just then, while airborne, Sasuke then launches a fire ball at Hiromi, shocking many of his peers and horrifying Iruka.

"Nee-chan!" Naruto cried out, horrified

Hiromi then places her right hand forward, "Suiton: Suihachi (Water Style: Hand of Waves)!"

Hiromi then fires from her hand a huge gush of water from her palm to engulf Sasuke's fireball into nothingness and slams into Sasuke, knocking him down.

"No way! Hiromi just fired a gush of water from her hand!"

"But how? Don't tell me that she knows ninjutsu too!" Sakura screamed

"It seems that way! An academy student knowing a C-ranked ninjutsu like that is impressive and I do believe that Uchiha Sasuke-kun had just violated a rule stating that no ninjutsu over D-ranked can be used and last I've checked that fire ball was a C-ranked ninjutsu. And to add, he did it after he was defeated." Akako said.

"What? That would mean that Hiromi broke a rule too!" Ino yelled

Iruka shook his head, "No! Hiromi did it after she won her match and it was all in self-defense." He said, "Sasuke will be punished for this! He had absolutely no excuse for his actions! He could have endangered Hiromi's life just now, so Hiromi wins by skill and default."

Sasuke's fan-girls just glared at Hiromi who walked out of the ring and was congratulated by her brother and friends.

"Hiromi beat Sasuke-kun again!"

"Just how did that freak manage to beat him? Not just Hiromi, but Naruto as well! He actually tied with Sasuke-kun! He was the bottom of the class!" Ami asked with confusion.

"After seeing how much Naruto has improved, I think that we need to do some investigation to get to the bottom of this!" Ino said, staring at the Uzumaki twins.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Later, school was finished for the day and the students walked away from the building with the Uzumaki twins saying goodbye to Kiba, who managed to recover from Sasuke's attack, Hinata, Choji, Shino, and Shikamaru as they walk to their houses and the Uzumaki twins went off through the village. Not far from behind, Sakura and Ino were on their tail to discover the Uzumaki twins' secret on they manage to get so good. They figured that the twins have made a fool out of Sasuke long enough and declare to follow them. The twins then make a turn to the corner towards an alley, which made the two girls to go after them. When they went to the alley, they found themselves facing a brick wall without the Uzumaki twins in sight.

"What the…? Where did they go?" Ino asked, surprised

"I don't know! I know that they made a turn over here!" Sakura replied

Ino glared at Sakura, "Or maybe they found us because of that overgrown forehead of yours! I knew I should have gone solo!" she said, nastily.

"Watch it, Ino-pig!" Sakura retorted

"Care to make something out of it, Billboard Brow!"

"Maybe they noticed your ugly face, Ino-pig!"

"What are you two dorks doing 'ttebano?"

Sakura and Ino jump around to see Hiromi standing behind them without Naruto. "Stupid question, I know what you two are here 'ttebano. You're trying to spy on me and Naruto-kun aren't you?" Hiromi asked, with a smug smile.

"What's it to you?" Sakura retorted

"We're getting sick of you and Naruto making us look like fools, not to mention making Sasuke-kun look bad!" Ino added

Hiromi chuckles, "I don't have to make fools out of the two you, you're doing a good job of doing that yourselves, dattebano!" she sneered, "As for Ahouchiha, please, me and my brother don't need to do that since he does a better job in doing that!"

"Shut up, you…!" Ino seethed

"Why don't you make something out of it if you can, little piggy?" Hiromi taunted, "Or are you still smarting from the defeat that Hinata-chan gave you earlier?"

Ino growled in reply, "That's it! Just how did your brother get so good! How is it that he's fast enough to tie against Sasuke-kun! How did you manage to beat him again?"

"We train!" Hiromi replied, plainly.

"Oh please! You don't get that good so quickly especially with Naruto's case! He was the worst in our class!" Sakura said, seriously, "Now, he's improved so much that quickly and even Iruka-sensei didn't see anything out of the ordinary! We know something is up! Now, tell us what it is, right now!"

Hiromi laughed, "You honestly think that there's something mysterious about Naruto-kun's improvements other than training! It must be the mind of a good-for-nothing fan-girl!"

"Why you…?" Sakura seethed

"And in case that you didn't know, we led you into a wild goose catch! You're not even close to our training place 'ttebano!" Hiromi said, with a smirk as she puffs out of existence, indicating a Kage Bunshin.

"Damn that girl! She led us on!" Sakura exclaimed, angrily.

"Oh this isn't over! Not by a long shot!" Ino said, seriously.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

On the meanwhile, the twins arrived in the underground and soon enough, a blur appears by Naruto in a form of Atsumi, who glomped Naruto to her chest, "Hello, Naruto-kun!" She greeted. As time went by, Atsumi started to love Naruto as her own little brother and Naruto the same, though he'd wish that Atsumi wouldn't do at the first thing when seeing him is hugging him too tightly.

Akio, Jun, Tsukasa, and Ryu then came up to greet them and the twins doing the same. "Atsumi-san, why did you henge into my Ishiha Akako form and watch over the class?" Hiromi asked

"We heard that the civilian council talked Hokage-sama into having an assistant instructor for Iruka-san." Atsumi replied

"It sounds like this Mizuki person is going to be a problem, so we asked Hokage-sama to have Atsumi-chan, here, to use your reputation and form of Ishiha Akako to watch over to see any signs of dishonesty." Jun said

"You're telling me! Mizuki tried to have me fail the written exam part of our final by accusing me of cheating 'ttebayo! If it hadn't been for Atsumi-nee-chan, then I would have failed, right there!" Naruto said. Naruto then looked at Hiromi, "Hey Nee-chan, how did you learn that water jutsu to put away Sasuke's fireball?" he asked

"I learned through my ninjutsu training, dattebano." Hiromi replied

"Can you teach it to me?" Naruto asked with stars replacing his eyes.

"No!" Naruto was taken back at his sister's blunt reply.

"Why not?"

"You still need to work on chakra control, dattebano!"

"But I already got it down, dattebayo!" Naruto complained

"I think that I know what Hiromi-chan is talking about, Naruto-kun." Akio said, "You need to start on advanced chakra control. Now, make the usual amount of Kage Bunshin for your training."

Naruto did want he was told and created 300 Kage Bunshin with Tsukasa, Ryu, and Atsumi taking the clones and the real Naruto with Akio through shunshin. Soon enough, Akio appeared in a forest with Naruto.

"Hey Akio-occhan, why are we here in this forest, dattebayo?" Naruto asked

Akio smiled, "Naruto-kun, we're here for you to learn advanced chakra control by climbing a tree." He replied.

"Climbing a tree? That's so easy, dattebayo!" Naruto said with a foxy grin

"Oh you're not climbing the tree through the normal way, but we're going to do it through our feet." Akio said, with a smirk

"Through our feet! That's impossible, dattebayo!" Naruto said

"Watch! First, use the chakra control that you've learned from the leaf exercise." Akio then placed his hands in a ram seal to releasing his chakra and gather it to the soles of his feet. Akio then walks over to a tree, placing his feet onto the bark, and then walked up the tree up to the highest tree branch, surprising Naruto.

"The Tree Climbing Practice is a training method used to gain more skills with chakra control. This training involves focusing a fixed amount of chakra to the bottom of one's feet, and using that to climb a tree without using that to climb a tree without using one's hands. If the stream of chakra is too weak, the user will lose their footing on the tree and fall off. If it too strong, the user will be pushed away from the tree, causing the tree to break around the point of contact and the user will fall." Akio explained as he walked upside down on a tree branch.

"That's so cool, dattebayo!" Naruto gushed as a kunai was thrown to his feet.

"Now you try, Naruto-kun! The kunai is to mark your progress on the tree." Akio said

"Okay!" Naruto nodded. Naruto formed the ram seal he started to channel chakra to his feet and hold it. Naruto then sprinted at the tree full-force, kunai in his hand at the ready in order to mark however far he progressed up the tree by cutting said tree.

Upon reaching the base of the tree he still kept concentrating on maintaining a chakra flow to his feet and started to run his way up the side of the tree. "One…two…three…four…five…six" Naruto counted in his head the steps he had taken up the tree, he noticed that it was getting somewhat harder and it felt as though he might fall off at any moment. "Don't fall now…come on, Naruto, concentrate, dattebayo!" He shouted in his head. Naruto pushed a slight amount more chakra to his feet to try to stabilize himself. He continued his trek upward; he continued to count in his head along the whole way. "Seven…eight…nine…ten…!" He chanted finally he lost his footing; he quickly slashed the tree where he landed and jumped between the trees down to the ground, landing softy in a crouched position.

"Ten, huh! Not bad for a first try." Akio commanded

"This will take too long 'ttebayo!" Naruto said putting his hands in a cross.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"

In a puff and a cloud of smoke, 100 Naruto clones appear around the original with kunai in their hands and all of them dashed toward their respective trees.

Time-skip 3 days

Naruto dropped his head to his desk in the academy as he and Hiromi were waiting for Iruka and Mizuki to come to start the class. Hiromi was reading a novel called A Study of Scarlet while waiting. For the past 3 days, Naruto almost mastered the Tree Climbing Exercise with the help of his clone while he could get to the top of the tree; Akio figured that the only way to really master the exercise is through battle stimulations. On the meanwhile, Atsumi, under the henge of Ishida Akako, was sitting next to the door.

"Morning, Naruto!" Naruto looks up to see Kiba walking toward his seat behind him as Sasuke came up and sat next to Naruto while both Shikamaru and Choji were talking with one another.

"Hey Kiba."

Kiba looked at Hiromi reading her book, "Let me guess, a Sherlock Holmes novel?" he inquired

Naruto nodded, "Trust me! Don't interrupt her when she's reading one of those Sherlock Holmes based books of hers unless it's important! It's pretty much the same of interrupting her Ramen Time, dattebayo!" he said, seriously with a whisper.

Kiba gulped, "Oh you don't have to tell me twice, Naruto!" he spoke, fearfully

Five minutes until Iruka and Mizuki would arrive, a loud screeching like sound rung in from the door at the top of the stairs. Ino and Sakura ran in through the door, both declaring winning and went over to next to Sasuke. Upon arrival, Sakura noticed the Uzumaki twins were in the way with Naruto tried to warn them not to do what he thought they were going to do.

"Hiromi-baka, you and your baka of a brother get out of the way so I can sit next to Sasuke!" Sakura screeched going to punch Hiromi in the face.

"Get lost, trash!" Hiromi spoke, coldly, without looking at the pink haired girl while flicking two Busoshoku Haki coated marbles at Sakura's chest and stomach, not only knocking the wind out of her, but knocking her away a few feet before hitting the ground.

"Sakura!" Ino exclaimed, worriedly, and glared at Hiromi, "You jerk! You're going to pay!"

"I wouldn't do that!" Shikamaru warned

Ino went to punch Hiromi's head, but without looking at her, Hiromi threw a strong palm strike to Ino's chest, throwing her away to hit the ground.

"Just to let you two know…Nee-chan was only going easy on you 'ttebayo!" Naruto said

"I'd listen to him if I were you!" They looked at Akako, who was looking at them, "From what I've heard, the two of you never once won a fight against Hiromi-chan, haven't you? I'd suggest finding another seat or I'll have the two of you reported to your senseis and let them handle it." Akako added with a stern look which told the two girls to not to push the issue anymore so they went to find another seat.

Soon enough, Iruka and Mizuki walked into the room with Iruka having a smile on his face and Mizuki having an annoyed scowl on his own with Akako around just made matters worse for him.

"Now class, I have all of your final grades all added up and I'd like to say that I'm very pleased with the results of many of you here." Iruka said while smiling at the most Naruto, "Also, I have a treat for you! Hokage-sama has discussed this with the other senseis in the academy to help motivate students to be the best even more, also I'd like to announce this year's top seven best students this year and these students will be standing in front of us." Iruka takes out a list, "Now for seventh place, Haruno Sakura."

Sakura placed a wide smile on her face as she walked down the stairs while smiling at Sasuke, who ignored her while ignoring Naruto, who was waving at her and she took her place in front of the class. "Sixth place, Hyuga Hinata!" Iruka spoke

Hinata yelps in shock and surprise as she slowly rose from her seat and walked down with her friends, especially the Uzumaki twins, congratulating her and she took her place next to Sakura. Iruka then places a wider grin when he spoke out with pride, "Fifth place, Uzumaki…Naruto!" Just then, almost everyone in the class was very shocked when they heard the former dead last's name. Hinata was filled with happiness she heard her crushes name, but Sakura was filled with anger.

"You can't be serious! No way! That idiot scored higher than me!" Sakura screeched, angrily

"Ha! You better get used to it, Billboard Brow! Now, you don't have any right to call Naruto an idiot, Miss Seventh Place!" Hiromi jeered making Sakura growling at her.

Iruka steps in to stop the incoming fight, "Okay girls that's enough! Naruto, come over here!" he commanded

Naruto jumped down the stairs to the front of the stairs with Sakura seething with anger as the blond to the spot next to Hinata, who had a smile on her face and blushed at seeing her crush standing next to her. For the past, two days both her and Ino tried to follow the Uzumaki twins to their training spot, but they kept outsmarting them at every turn by leading them to wrong places and it annoyed them to no end.

Iruka then read down the list, "For fourth place…Yamanaka Ino!" Ino jumped from her seat and skipped down the stairs while whispering going past Sakura, "Oh! It must be sad…having the dead last beat you, forehead! It kind makes you wonder if Sasuke-kun would want anything to do with you." Ino sends a smirk to Sakura as she walks away and Sakura seethed at her at all and Ino took her place next to Naruto. Ino eyed her fellow blond, "And I don't know how you manage to improve this much, Naruto, but I will find out!" she declared

Naruto snorted, "Go ahead and try!" he challenged

"Now for third place…Aburame Shino!" Iruka spoke as the bug user silently stood up from his seat and walked down the stairs and over next to Ino.

"Now for second place…Uchiha Sasuke!" Iruka spoke which sparked a lot of protests from many of the girls in the class about how Iruka-sensei messed up on the score and said that Sasuke-kun should be at first place and for once, Sasuke had to agree with them. Iruka used his big head no jutsu to shut them up and Sasuke just stood up and stomped over next to Shino seething and thought that once the one who came up in first place is named he just need to demand him or her to hand over the first place rank over to him while using his clan name as a leverage. He knew that there were a very few who could have scored higher than him, but there was one that stick out like a sore thumb.

"And now for first place…Uzumaki Hiromi!" Iruka called out.

"WHAT!" Sasuke's fan-girls yelled out, outraged

"That can't be right!"

Hiromi walked down the stairs with Naruto congratulating her as she stood next to Sasuke, who was glaring at her, knowing it would be tough to get the first place from her of all people. Ino and Sakura glared at Hiromi, hating her even more than ever for Sakura, she was not only humiliated by one Uzumaki twin, but TWO with one that was the dead last for two years straight and a proven moron in her book. This placed a huge blow to Sakura's pride and the humiliation that she received for the past two years for having an orphan beat her, again, returned twice as hard. It was bad enough that she had to deal with Ino and Hiromi being better than her, she also had to deal with Hinata doing better than her this year, but to have someone like Uzumaki Naruto beating her by two ranks…oh she was NOT happy about that! Not one bit! To add, she believed that Sasuke is going to keep paying attention to Hiromi more than her. It was official for her to gain Sasuke's attention, the Uzumaki twins had to go.

Iruka then passes buttons with the letters 'S.A.' on them to the seven students in front, "I'd like to present this class's Special A representatives!" Iruka declared, with a smile.

"Hey Iruka-sensei, what's Special A?" Naruto asked

Iruka sent a smile at Naruto, "I'm glad that you've asked, Naruto, Special A is a group of the top seven students from each year that have numerous of privileges that normal student don't have. For example, a Special A member or SA member can use up to six off days from school and won't be penalized for this." He replied

Naruto gave out a huge grin at this until Iruka spoke again, "However, once you've used up those six days, then you can't get another one until the next semester, so I would use them WISELY!" Iruka spoke that in emphasis to Naruto, especially, "Also, there are leadership in SA as well with the one that scored the highest gets to act as leader."

Ino yelped, "Wait! Hold on, Iruka-sensei…the one that scored that highest is…" Ino then slowly looked at Hiromi, who gives off a large smirk on her face.

"That's not fair! That would mean that Hiromi is in charge!" Sakura yelled out, pissed off than ever.

Hiromi chuckled, smugly, "I'm glad that Miss Seventh Place can count!" she says, making Sakura's face getting red with anger and embarrassment

"Stop calling me Seventh Place!" Sakura shouted

"That's enough!" Iruka shouted, annoyed, "Now, the both of you are now supposed to lead by example for being SA members, especially you, Hiromi! You're the one that supposed to set an example on how a top student should act…that means no more starting fights with your peers and the same goes for both Ino and Sakura. Hiromi is now your leader and you treat her with respect until you do make number one! When she tells you to do something, you are expected to follow her instructions to the letter."

Ino and Sakura clench their teeth while nodding their heads and more pissed off that they may have to take orders from the one that they hate.

Shino then asked, "Iruka-sensei, you said that the top seven students from each year are appointed to Special A, correct? So, would that mean the upperclassmen have their own Special A and when will we engage them?"

"I'm glad that you've asked that question, Shino, you'll be meeting those students next term." Iruka replied, which made both Sasuke's eyebrow twitch and Hinata shivering nervously. "Also, keep in mind that being in SA is a privilege, not a right. So in other words, should you happen to do poorly next term than you'll lose your spot until you do earn your right to where these buttons. So, work hard to keep your buttons. Now, I'd like end this short class with a message, stay safe and I hope that you all will be back next term. Class, dismissed." Soon enough, the SA members along with the other students left the class leaving Mizuki, Iruka, and Akako behind.

Mizuki spoke to Akako, "Well Akako-san, it was nice working with you this week and I know that we won't see each other for a very long time."

Akako stands up while giving Mizuki a smug look on her face, "Why Mizuki-san? What makes you think that this is the last time we'll see each other. I'm coming back in the next term to continue my work." She replied, coolly.

"N-Next term…" Mizuki said, nervously, "Just how long are you planning on staying here?"

"Until the students in this class graduate." Akako replied

"But why? I don't understand on why would you return here to watch the students." Iruka said

"Well Iruka-san, there has been some nasty rumors about instructors here in this academy are giving certain people grades that they don't deserve and overall trying to sabotage a single student." Akako replied, coldly

"That's outrageous! Why would our instructors do such a thing to the future ninjas of this village?" Mizuki asked, while trying to play dumb

Akako glared at Mizuki, "Do not play me for a fool, Mizuki-san! I'm only here to make sure that someone does their jobs, right." She said

"Uzumaki Naruto! You're here for Naruto, aren't you?" Iruka asked

Akako smirked, "That's right, Iruka-san! From what I've seen so far, Mizuki-san here tried to fail Uzumaki Naruto-kun here by accusing him of cheating in his written exam." She replied, glaring at Mizuki who was sweating nervously

Iruka glared at Mizuki, "Mizuki, is this true?" He asked

"Iruka, you're seriously going to listen to his girl rather than me! You know me better than that!" Mizuki said, worriedly

"Oh! Then, how about we hear from not only Uzumaki-kun, but the students around him like Uzumaki Hiromi-san and Inuzuka Kiba-kun? They would vouch for me! I'm pretty sure that if I wasn't here, then Uzumaki-kun would have failed this term unfairly because people are too stupid to know the obvious difference between a kunai and its scroll." Akako remarked, "Also Iruka-san, I've noticed that they're certain students within your class that may have a problem with the Uzumaki twins and would act upon jealously, especially with Uzumaki-kun's growth from the dead last, to get them into trouble and there are many instructors that would take the word of the students over the twins. I would advise weaning them from this act, before it gets into a huge issue."

Iruka nodded, "Right, I'll do that!" he said with Mizuki seething in anger in this

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!"

Mizuki was standing in front of the civilian council after explaining what had happened earlier and needless to say that they weren't pleased.

"I'm sorry! It seems that the Hokage has gotten a hold of Ishida Akako to make sure that the twins get taught correctly." Mizuki said

"Hiruzen has always loved those two twins the most! Uchiha-sama is now upset that he wasn't number one and leader of his Special A group with that little bitch is." Sakiri seethed in anger, "We still don't know how the twins are getting strong and where they're getting their aid from."

"I tried asking them that, but they tell me that they train and study!" Mizuki said

"We can't send any more ANBU to spy on them since Hiruzen is getting suspicious about their injuries." Homura said

"The only way to control the situation is to take care of Ishida Akako." Danzo said

"But the problem is finding where she lives. We just have to wait until the next term to get her." Koharu said

Hyuga boy: I never thought I'd see you here, Hinata-sama!

Hinata (stuttering): N-Neji-ni-san!

Naruto: How's this jerk, Hinata?

Neji: And to think that you've fallen so low to rank lower than your dead last. This is a perfect example on how once a failure always a failure.

Naruto: Hey jerk! Watch what you say to Hinata and I'll make you eat this fist 'ttebayo!

Uchiha girl: Wow! Fugaku-sama must be rolling in his grave to have his youngest son fall to a clanless orphan.

Sasuke: Shut up, Satsuki!

Hiromi: A spar you say? That's fine!

Naruto: That's fine! I'll take the jerk that badmouthed Hinata 'ttebayo!

Hiromi: No! You take the Uchiha girl! This Hyuga pissed me off enough with this destiny crap 'ttebano!
