At around 6 in the morning 2 people were seen training at a training ground outside the village was Naruto and Kakashi sparring, Naruto having his Byakugan activated doing his best to strike Kakashi who was dodging and striking himself. They were doing this for 30 minutes now.
Naruto was woken up by Kakashi at 5am and bought to this secluded training ground to teach Naruto how to use his doujutsu during a fight. Naruto was surprised that Kakashi actually woke it at such an early time considering that he was always late previously.
But considering the importance of the exams, maybe it warranted such seriousness from the lazy man. Continuing for a few minutes more Kakashi kicked Naruto which sent him flying. "Let take a break and go to get some breakfast" said Kakashi as he saw Naruto rubbing his head.
"Do you have to hit that hard?" asked Naruto but got an eye smile in response while he deactivated his eyes and followed Kakashi back to the village. "What will we have for breakfast? I'm starving"
"Something to give you lot of energy so that we could train till night time" replied Kakashi as they went in to a random restaurant that quickly came to get their orders mainly because they saw Kakashi entering.
"Kakashi-kun what would you like to eat today?" asked the waitress with a blush on her face. The waitress was 175cm tall, and wore the uniform that was provided by the restaurant which looked plain as it was black shirt and trouser or skirt with leggings and nothing stood out. She had light brown hair and had green eyes.
"Can I have eggs with toast as well as some sake?" asked Kakashi, the waitress nodded and Kakashi said: "Thank you Kira-chan"
"What about you Naruto-san?"
"Do you serve ramen?" asked Naruto and Kira shook her head.
"No we don't, would you like the same as Kakashi-kun"
"I don't drink sake"
"Kira-chan get him everything you serve for breakfast he will need it for the training" said Kakashi and Kira nodded and left. Looking at Kakashi Naruto asked what the training will consist off that he will need large amount of food.
"I will train you in elemental jutsu and more advanced taijutsu for the next 3 weeks. The fourth week will be teaching you tactics and other stuff that I mentioned at our last meeting" Naruto nodded and Kakashi took out 2 papers that looked creamy sort of.
"What are those?"
"These are chakra papers which determine your chakra affinity. I have lightning affinity so the paper would wrinkle, if I had fire affinity it catch fire and turn to ash, If I had water affinity it would turn damp, if I had wind it would split in half and finally if I had earth affinity the paper would turn to dirt and crumble away."
"Let me try" giving him the paper Naruto released some chakra in the paper and what happened shocked Kakashi to the core.
First the paper split in 4 signalling wind, then one if the squares caught on fire and turned into ash, the next piece wrinkled, the next turned to dirt and crumbled away and lastly the paper turned damp. Naruto had affinity for all 5 elements.
He understood lighting since most Hyuga had that affinity that why he taught Naruto the first 3 lightning jutsu and wind as well as his father and mother had it along with water release.
Coming out of his stupor he looked at Naruto and saw his face full of excitement as well as awe.
"Well that was shocking" he said in a board voice trying to down play what he saw. He heard that the only other person to have all the affinities naturally was the Sage Of The Six Paths and no one else and that was because of the Rinnegan.
"That so amazing I have all 5 elements" said Naruto as he imagined himself throwing awesome jutsus around.
Kakashi then told Naruto how they will be training with clones so that he could at least learn how to use 1 or 2 elements properly by the end of the month. They first will be trying to finish the first step of the lightning release as he already knew 2 jutsu from said elements and if they finish that then Naruto will move on to wind as he already had a jutsu from that element as well.
10 minutes later Kira arrived and served them their food which was quickly eaten and then paid for before the 2 went to their previous training ground and start on their elemental training.
That day 10pm
Three people were near the training ground 44: Forest of death. These 3 were Kabuto Yakushi, Baki and Yugito Nii and were currently talking about the exams.
"Yugito explain to me why you didn't pass the second stage and even killed on of sounds genin" asked Kabuto a bit angry at what the women did.
"That easy, those 3 tried to ambush me so I killed them and the reason I didn't qualify was because I didn't have to as Raikage-sama said to infiltrate the village using the exams as cover" she said not least intimidated by Kabuto. She knew out of the 3 there she was the strongest one of them.
"That clears that and now how will Kumo help the invasion?" asked Baki lacking any emotion in his voice.
"We will keep the Hyuga busy and I will also do what that Gaara kid will do"
Training ground 9
It was 2 weeks since Sasuke started to train under Yamato and what they did was train his body to become faster and stronger using weights, he was also introduced to the art of the swords.
At first he was crap as expected but with some training he got good enough to use a proper sword without cutting himself.
He also trained alone and using his clan's library he learned how to infuse chakra into his sword for extra cutting power using fire or lightning his two affinities. He also learned a few fire jutsu along with the shadow clones and its lightning variant. He could make 3 clones before getting exhausted.
The training was what he wanted and was going to request the Hokage to put him into ANBU under Yamato/Tenzo so that he could keep learning from the man.
He also met up with Emi twice and learned that she was mostly over her teammate's death which was good. She asked him to teach her a jutsu which he did, he taught her one of his new techniques, Fire Style: Incinerating Hail Jutsu.
The hand seals were Tiger, Snake and Dragon then focusing fire Chakra into their hand they throw the chakra upwards which then rains down small fire balls that can turn boulders to molten rock. The technique was a powerful B-rank.
Teaching her was fun as he watched her burn her hands and run around until her hands cooled off. She still had problems with the technique while he already learned and mastered a few other techniques which showed him how much more privileged he was at being a prodigy, learning everything with ease while people with less talent took way longer to master techniques he view as a waste of his time.
They also had food at the Ichiraku family stand as he liked ramen, not as much as Emi or Naruto but it will do he guessed. Once he saw Naruto there and found out that he progressed much farther than him in the jutsu department as he learned the first step of the lightning release, wind release and water release exercises and learned 2 jutsu from each.
When he introduced Emi to Naruto both liked each other as they both loved ramen and from his knowledge ate their a few times together which bothered him a bit. He later realised that it bothered him because he would've rather been there instead of his friend.
Naruto also said when his full team was there bar Kakashi that he suspected Kakashi to have a lover and that why he always came late. The three genin will later investigate about that once the exams were over.
Right now he was waiting for Emi to come as she asked him to see how far she progressed with the jutsu and to help her out a bit.
A few minutes later she was walking towards him and when she was in front of him she tripped and fell forward straight into Sasuke and the 2 fell.
"AHH" both shouted as they fell
Emi was on top of Sasuke and her face was inches away and Sasuke did what everyone sane male would do and kissed her and hoped she didn't reject him.
Day of the exams
Walking towards the ramen stand that she visited for the past month to meet Sasuke and then go with him to the Stadium that the fights will take place, she smiled as she remembered how close she had gotten to the Uchiha boy after the kiss.
Seeing the ramen stand in the distance she saw Sasuke there in his normal attire but black in colour instead, which made her blush a little as he looked cool and hot at the same time.
Looking at the girl he came to like he wasn't surprised that she didn't change her attire considering that she very much liked it, he didn't care either way as looks to him weren't important but her character, personality and her strength as that was what he valued.
"Hey Sasuke-kun"
"Hey Emi let go I don't want to be late" Sasuke said not interested in any conversation, after all he had his priorities straight and wiping the floor with everyone and becoming the chunin was top priority today.
"Not interested in coversine I see" she said after standing next to him, she then leaned in to his ear and whispered in a suggesting manner, "What about kissing or other things?"
Had it been someone else they would've got funny ideas but this was Sasuke we was talking about here, so he just gave her a blank stare and started to walk away making Emi pout but recovered and took his hand and started to ask him a bunch of questions to piss him off.
