Chapter Three: Chūnin Exam Finals/Invasion PT 1
Naruto, thanks to his second cousin, was standing in the arena of the Chūnin Exams Stadium right beside Shikmaru.
"Hey Shikamaru, how's everything?" asked Naruto as he looked up at the grandstands where a girl with sickly green hair smiled and waved at him.
"Troublesome blonde, you seem even more troublesome then before" commented the black haired boy making Naruto smile lightly
"I've been training pineapple-head" was Naruto's only response before the proctor did the introduction and sent everyone except Naruto and a pale skinned, lavender-eyed boy, Hyūga Neji.
"Let the first match of the third part of the Chūnin Exams, between Uzumaki Naruto, and Hyūga Neji begin. HAJIME(sp?)[1]!" said the proctorbefore he jumped away a safe distance.
"You look like you wanna say something" said Neji calmly, Naruto held out his fist
"I'm going to win" was all Naruto Said
'My eyes tell me he is completely confident' thought Neji his Byakugan active, "You're very confident, tat'll make this victory all the better when you realize you an't fight against fate" said Neji as he slipped into his Jūken stance.
"Dream on" said Narut as he settled into a particular stance, his fists close to his body, and his feet evenly spaced.
"Kakashi, did you teach him that style?" Gai thought aloud frowning as Masao walked by
"The Uzumaki style?" asked the Spider Sage and the jounin turned to him
"You know that style?" asked Gai and Masao nodded smiling.
"I should since I am the one that taught Naruto-kun it, I am Uzumaki Masao"
"So you knew Naruto-kun's parents?" asked Gai as his gaze returned to the match just as Naruto spun around Neji's Jūken strike and elbowed the stuck-up Hyūga in the gut.
"Yes, I do, I also know of Naruto-kun's burden." said Masao
"Where-"
"I only learned of Naruto-kun's exitanc during the training period, in fact that is when I met him" said Masao before walking off towards the Kage boot.
"You still feel confident about close combat?" asked Naruto as he jumped back from a heavily bruised Neji before throwing several kunai at a speed to fast for Neji to dodge. Neji began to spin expelling chakra from his whole body
"Kaiten!" said the now desperate Hyūga as he deflected the kunai with a dome of chakra.
"Well now, Naruto-kun, what're you going to do now?" said Miki to herself
"Ano… Who are you?" asked a pink haired girl as she turned around to the purple eyed girl
"It is polite to introduce yourself first before asking for another's name" said Miki before turning back to the match just as Neji gave his speech on the Hyūga Sōke no Juinjutsu aka the Caged Bird Seal and te death of his father.
"That's it? That's your sob story? Pathetic" said Naruto annoyed at the Hyūga, he removed his ANBU armor and shirt before channeling chakra making his seal appear. "You see this?" asked the blonde before revealing his status as a jinchūriki, the names of his parents, and the name of his last living relative to the whole stadium.
"Hokage-dono, surely you don't allow your shinobi to tell such outrageous lies" asked the disguised Orochimaru
"I don't let my shinobi lie like that, no, old friend" said the aged Hokage but he did not move to have Naruto removed from the exams
"Hokage-dono?"
"However, he isn't lying, he is the son of the late Yondiame Hokage, and his wife Uzumaki Kushina" said the Hokage making Orochimaru go wide-eyed as a new figure entered the Kage box.
"Who are you?" asked the 'Kazekage' and the figure smiled before turning to the Hokage
"Hello Hokage-sama, I am Uzumaki Masao" said Masao with a smile on his face.
"Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" exclaimed Naruto as he made that o-so-familiar handseal and several clones poofed into existence. Him and his clones rushed the former Rookie-of-the-Year, only for Neji to use his Kaiten once more. Growing tired Naruto threw numerous kunai and shurinken at Neji onl for them tobe deflected as well. Down to only 3 kunai and six shurinken, Naruto smiled a fox-like grin.
"Give up Naruto, I know you are almost out of chakra. If we continue there is no guarantee you'll survive" warned Neji in a burst of Camaraderie(?) and Naruto smiled
"You obviously never fought a jinchūriki before" said Naruto before the Kyūbi's yoki burst forth and engulfed Naruto who then used said yoki and charged at Neji with renewed energy.
'What?' thought Neji befor performing the kaiten once more, but when Naruto's fist, covered in the Kyūbi's yoki, hit the dome of chakra there was a huge explosion throwing the two gennin away from each other. Neji crashed into the wall of the arena and fell down unconscious, Naruto on the other hand had faster reflexes and flipped mid-air landing on all fours as Kyūbi's yoki receeded and tood up before running through handseals and biting his thumb so it bled. Pressing the bleeding hand to the ground,
"Kuchiyose no jutsu" muttered Naruto, and Miki disappeared from the stands with a poof of smoke and reappeared in the arena in her spider form, "Miki-chan, can you heal him, enough so I can talk to him?" he asked her and there was another poof of smoke as Miki reassumed her human form.
"Hai, Naruto-kun" said Miki as her hands started to glow green, 'Shousen jusu' she thought happily as she began to heal Neji.
"She's a spider" said Sakura in shock as she and Ino went pale, Ino because of her extreme phobia of spiders, and Sakura from the realization she was so far behind her teammates and she would be nothing but dead weight to them…
"Did I happen to mention I am the Spider Sage" said Masao smiling as Naruto summoned Miki the two Kages just stared at the older Uzumaki realizing who trained Naruto during the Month break…
Slowly coming into consciousness Neji noticed the girl in the ring
"W-who are you?" asked Neji only for the girl to look off to the side
"Naruto-kun, he's awake"
"Arigatou Miki-chan" answered Naruto before the girl, Miki, disappeared in a poof of smoke. "You know I failed the Gennin Exams three times, each time because the test was on my worst jutsu, the bunshin jutsu. So stop mopping around, afterall, unlike me, you're not a failure"
"Victor; Uzumaki Naruto!" yelled the proctor and the crowd cheered as NAruto waved to them, completely ecstatic that they were cheering for him. "You know, as a caged bird grows smarter it'll start to peck at the lock as to learn how to open it's cage, as it wishes to be free once more" said the proctor as the Hyūga laid here still injured before the Medics got him and took him to the infirmary…
When Naruto got to the contenders' box he ran through handseals and bit his thumb summoning Miki.
"Nice job Naruto-kun! You'll make Chūnin for sure!" said the summon before she kissed him on the cheek, "Just remember to rest before your next match you need to rest" she said happily as the rest of the Gennin look looked shock, except Gaara, who just looked bored, at Naruto's display of skill. Just a month ago is taijutsu was like that of a barroom brawler, now it had form and style, and he learned the summoning jutsu.
"Ano… why are you all looking at me like that?" asked Naruto as he began to feel uncomfortable at their stares.
"Troublesome blonde… Why'd you summon a spider?" asked Shikamaru and Naruto just grinned before turning to Miki a serious look on his face
"We may very well need someone of Neji's skill very soon" said Naruto before Miki leaned forward and planted a kiss on the young summoner's lips causing the boy to light up and a bright red blush.
"Mmm… Ramen" said Miki causing one of any three reactions in the rest of the room; blushing in embarrassment, looks of disgust, or indifference as Miki claimed one more kiss from Naruto his one deeper then the last one, but not by much, she ignored the other occupants of the room as she did so before hearing cat calls. Embarrassed at her lack of self control Miki pushed Naruto away blushing deeply as she tried to clear her head before giving Naruto a peck on the cheek, "Gomen, I don't know what-" said Miki before catching Naruto's light smile.
"It's fine Miki-chan" said Naruto but he still held her, "However I don't want you to leave right now, ok?" he asked earning a nod as Kankuro forfitted is match against Shino after Shikamaru and Temari's match(A/N: I forgot which came first).
"We will give Uchiha Sasuke five more minutes, after that he will have forfitted the match" said the Hokage and Masao frowned at the favoritism
"Something isn't right" said Naruto and Miki just nodded, "Miki-chan be a dear and go 'check' on Neji"
"Hai, Naruto-kun" she replied as she slipped herself from Naruto's arms and left the contender's booth heading to the medic station under the stadium, where she was stopped by two Hyūga branch members
"Did Uzumaki send you to finish the job?" asked one of the Hyūga making Miki giggle slightly.
"In a way he did;" she said and the Hyūga members took defensive stances, "He sent me to finish healing him" she finished.
"Gomen, are we late?" asked a man with silver hair that spiked off in all directions and a hai-ate over his left eye, Hayate Kakashi.
"No, but it was close, another second and he would've been disqualified" said the proctor as Naruto ran down into the arena
"You won" said a teenaged boy with raven hair hat look like a chicken's butt, Uchiha Sasuke
"Was there any doubt?" asked Naruto smiling
"You know, you two need to need to get off the field so I can start the match" said the proctor and Naruto suddenly became serious
"Sasuke, this guy is dangerous, he-"
"Don't worry about it, Naruto, you're someone I want to fight, I'm not going to lose" said Sasuke and Naruto grinned and nodded.
"Just don't die" said Naruto before turning around and walking off, waving as he did so.
"The Final match before the semi-finals; Uchiha Sasuke vs. Subaku no Gaara, Hajime(sp)!"
"Naruto-kun" said Miki as she placed her hand on her summoners shoulder after he was in the stairwell, and the said Gennin turnedwith a light smile on his face, "Neji is doing better" said Miki and Naruto nodded as he continued up to the contender's booth, "What's wrong Naruto-kun?" she asked and Naruto glanced at her before continuing on to the contender's booth
"Sasuke is fighting Gaara, and I am afraid no matter how much-"
There was a sound of a thousand birds chirping
"Chidori(1)!" said Sasue as he ran down the all of the stadium with something that looked like lightning in is hand. Sasuke ran towards a large sphere made of sand
"Not good" said Naruto as he glanced out of the viewing window in the contender's booth he had just gotten to there. He had felt the spike in yoki as spikes shot out from the sphere only just missing Sasuke.
"Do you want me-"
"No Miki-chan, let your sisters-" said Naruto before he yawned, "Damn, why do I feel so tired…"
"KAI!" said Miki as she released a large about of chakra, disrupting a large sale genjutsu from Naruto and the rest of the Gennin.
"And so I begins" said Masao as a purple barrier surrounded the Kage booth trapping him and the Hokage in an impenetrable box…
"Go after Sasuke, Naruto I know you can beat Gaara, but you are to avoid confrontation as much as possible. Until you've gotten all allies out of danger, then let it rip!" ordered Kakashi and Naruto Nodded
"Hai, sensei, kuchiyose no jutsu!" sai Naruto as he raced through hand seals and summoned four spiders, four wolf spiders(2)
"What do you want boy?" asked one of the larger wolf spiders, Shikon(2)
"Now, now, Shikon, I know you are not being rude to my partner" said Miki as she walked up dragging an oto-nin behind her.
"Him? He's a weak-"
"we don't have time for this" said Naruto before more yoki coursed through his system, "Who's weak?"said Naruto as he slammed Shikon into a wall before calming quickly, "After all, only Miki has beaten me, even when I went all out" he said before suddenly twisting and ramming an elbow into a suna-nin's gut spiking Kyūbi's yoki out it killing the enemy shinobi.
"Just go! You need to make sure that Sasuke does not reach Gaara" said Kakashi as he drove a kunai deep into an oto-nin's chest cavity
"Hai sensei!" said Naruto as he went to get the two other Gennin that would be best for this mission.
"Naruto, where-" started Kakashi
I'm getting a team together, I may need some help, sensei" said Naruto as he nudged Shikamaru who despite there being no genjutsu on him was pretending to sleep. "Oi! Wake up Shikamaru, we've got a mission, Sakura get over here, we need to save Sasuke"
"Shut up Naruto-baka! Sasuke-kun doesn't need our hel!" screeched the fangirl and Naruto glared at her
"Sakura-san, when this is over I'm having you written uo for disobeying a superior officer" said Naruto nd Saura scoffed
"And how do you out rank me? If anything I should out rank you Naruto-baka!" screeched Sakura.
"No Sakura, he out ranks you, as for why? Because I said so that's why" said Kakashi befor Shikon flew by legs wrapped around an oto-nin, biting him, "Go Naruto"
"Orochimaru, always a snake in the grass aren't you?" said Masao as he threw a kunai at the traitor sannin whom dodged easily
"Ah, Masao, not dead yet I see, perhaps I can fix that!" said Orochimaru as he he jumped away from Sarutobi just in time to keep himself from getting hit by a kick from the old man.
"Kuchiyose no jutsu!" said both Masao and Sarutobi as they summoned the boss spider, Masame, and the king of the Monkeys, Enma, respectively
"Ah! Masami! It's been a long time." Said nma and the spider boss smiled politely.
"Indeed it has, Enma-dono" she replied before turning to the gay pedophile known as Orochimaru, "Masao-koi, does this mean you need to go into sage mode?" asked Masami
"Hai, gomenasai Koibito" said Masao as Masami changed into her spider form like her sister shewas a black widow, unlike her sister her color's were reversed.
"shall we get started then?" asked Sarutobi
"Yes, I thing so, ninpo: Kirigakure no jutsu(3)" said Masao as he covered the 'field' with mist
"Doton: Doryū Taiga no jutsu(4)" said Sarutobi suddenly causing the roof underneath Orochimaru to turn to mud and start to slide down the roof towards the barrier. Masao started to run through a certain chain of seals that caused Orochimaru to panic and throw several kunai at the Spider Sage allowing for Sarutobi to finish his second jutsu, "Doton: Doryūdan no jutsu(5)!"
"Katon: Karyūdan no jutsu(6)" said Masami channeling fire chakra into the earth dragon missiles only for the snake sannin to dodge, albeit barely…
Flying through the trees Naruto and Sakura, Shikamaru having broke off to buy the dou some time, soon caught up with the sand trio and Sasuke.
"Pull back Sasuke, I'll take care of Gaara" said Naruto in a voice that left no room for arguing and Sasuke gritted his teeth
"Why should I dope?" asked Sasuke angrily making the blonde haired jinchūriki's eyes, which had been on Gaara, turn sharply to him
"Because I said so, Uchiha, I am in charge here, which according to the Shinobi Code means you must obey my orders, or be stripped of rank, have your chakra seals and placed under ANBU guard at all times for the rest of your life" warned Naruto making Sasuke and Sakura gape at him surprised as Shikon and the others began to attack Gaara…
Flashback:
Running through the trees Naruto started to formulate a plan with Shikon as Sakura shied away from the large spiders.
"Remember, Gaara has an absolute defence known as Suna no Tate(7) and Suna no Yoroi(8)" warned Naruto remembering the info Miki ad gathered, and from what he had seen. Shikon just gave the spiders' equivalent of a nod, "If it looks like…" Sakura had stopped trying to listen at that point but moments later she noticed all the spiders except for Shikon had left their group
End flashback
"Pull back" licked Shikon as suddenly Gaara turned his attention to the spiders, which turned out to be a bad decision for the young jinchūriki
'Fūton: Daitoppa(9)!' thought Naruto as he took a deep breath and blew out causing a large amount of sand to fly away from it's master before he threw his last three kunai and last six shurinken. Naruto then thrusted his palms out towards them causing a short burst of wind that made the projectiles move faster towards Gaara, "Fūton: Reppūshū(10). Meanwhile Shikon and the other wolf spiders engaged Temari and Kankuro, keeping them from interfering in their summoner's battle. With Sasuke and Sakura, the two non-jinchūriki of team 007 watched in awe, Sasuke scowled
'That power, it should be mine!' thought Sasuke a he angrily watched NAruto actually hit Gaara, not enough sand there to block the attack…
"MY BLOOD! You'll make me feel even more alive! SHI-NE!" said Gaara as he shot is remaining sand at NAruto whom dodged. Falling into the Uzumaki style, Naruto dodged left andright continuously getting closer to Gaara, who, while was getting more and more sand back, still didn't have enough to stop Naruto's endless assault, until: "Hehehehe! Well done Uzumaki! I'll show you my mother's true form now!" said the deranged jinchūriki as suddenly sand stared to pile on Gaara taking the form of a giant tanuki with Gaara sticking up like a zit on the tanuki's forehead.
"Well… Shit…" said Naruto looking up at the Ichibi no Shukaku before running through now familiar handseals, "Kuchiyose no jutsu: Miki!" said Naruto as Miki felt a very familiar pull of being summoned, yet again.
"Masao-koi…" said Masami and the Spider Sage nodded acknowledging her
"I know Masami, I sense it too" said Masao as he dodged as attack from the Shodaime Hokage, the blasted snake had used a kinjutsu known as Edo Tensei and while, at the moment, he had the upper han, he knew that his Sage mode was running out, fast, and Masami was being held up by the Nidaime, as Sarutobi was engaging Oochimaru himself.
"Uzumaki-san, do you need some aid?" asked Enma as Sarutobi noticed the lowing of the Spider Sage, Masao nodded
"Can you hold off the Shodaime and Nidaime for a moment or two?" asked Masao and the king of the monkeys was silent for a little bit before answering
"What do you plan to do?" asked Enma and Masao grinned
"If I can get all the way into Sage mode, the Shodaime and Nidaime won't stand a chance" Enma nidded one and engaged both the previous Hokages freeing up Masami, "Masami-koi, I… Gomen…" said Masao sadly Masami nodded, tears welling up in her eyes as she moved to Masao fangs slowly protruding from her upper jaw.
"I love you Koibito" said Masami before sinking her fangs into Masao's neck sending venom through-out the Spider Sage's body. Chakra burst forth
"Go Masami, help Sarutobi, I've got this" said Masao before he disappeared in a burst of pure speed, converting te venom into chakra, and the chakra into energy…
