With this one done, I will be working on MULTIPLE FICS! Some being plot bunnies, others being requested. This will be the preliminaries and the tournament. Also the preview from last chapter, yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah, took me forever to find the correct mythological item to fit. It also had to do something with kyuubi, I was honestly tempted just to give him miku's gear and just adjust it to his body type and color, but I didn't do that since I have an idea of what I am going to do with miku, shirabe, kirika, and maria.

Also, I haven't watched kamen rider AT ALL, so the person who said that...nope, I didn't think there was a power like that. I thought kamen rider was just another power rangers so I never watched it from just from me thinking that I knew what was going to happen.

Aaaaand since multiple ideas have gone into the fact of sasuke leaving the village I will have to do the war, and probably watch some episodes for funzies.

In any case, thank for reading and reviewing, HERE IS CHAPTER EIGHT OF SOUND SUMMON: THE CHUNIN EXAMS! 2ND PART AND A FREE MONTH.


When I awoke the next morning, Sakura, Sasuke (who awoke earlier and has said nothing as of yet), and I went to the arena. When we arrived, our jounin sensei's, the hokage, iruka, and some others where already there. As was the rest of the teams who made it.

The hokage immediately made a speech how the chunin exams were a way for rival villages to take out steam against each other, I didn't care really. It was just another outlet for war, it was basically sending soldiers to fight other countries for the right to be the best of their rank. A man appeared in front us after the speech, said man had short brown hair and dark markings under his eyes, he looked sick. He wore the standard Konoha shinobi outfit complete with a forehead protector that he wore as a bandanna, flak jacket and regular shinobi sandals. He also carried a katana with a rectangular hand guard strapped over his back.

"Hello, my name is Gekkō Hayate, because there is so many of you, there will be a preliminary,cough, exam to lessen the competition. This exam will be in randomized matches, to be fair and non-biased. Only the ,cough, winners of each match will be able to go on to the final exam. Does anyone want to quit because of injuries?" He asked.

Kabuto, surprisingly, raised his hand. He was allowed to go with an anbu escort. The screen was speeding through names, it then landed on:

Uchiha Sasuke Vs. Yoroi Akadō

Sasuke smirked as he thought his opponent was going to be weak. They were called to the front as the rest of us went on two opposing sides. "You two have been selected first, no objections?" "Right" they both answered. Akadō Yoroi's clothing concealed himself by the mask he wore around his mouth that hung to around his neck, sunglasses that obscured his eyes and forehead protector which he wore like a bandanna. He also wore what appears to be the standard attire of his team consisting of a high-collared, sleeveless, navy-blue shirt with a short-sleeved, white one underneath, a simple obi around his waist, pants, sandals and fingerless gloves.

Sasuke flinched a bit, 'That Hickey of his seems to be effecting his well-being, I'll ask Kaka-baka later. Then maybe talk to the old monkey to.' We stood up in the stand watching the two as they stood. Hayate stood in between. "Now please, begin!" he said as he jumped a fair distance away.

"Let's go!" Yoroi said in a guttural voice. He put his hand in a tiger seal and built chakra in his right hand. Sasuke grabbed a kunai from his pouch as Yoroi reached into his. They had a small stare off. Yoroi threw three shuriken though was pretty much useless as sasuke blocked them with a reversed gripped kunai. Sasuke fell forward and went to grab his neck where the curse mark is.

Yoroi jumped forward as sasuke looked up, he rolled to the side as yoroi punched the ground, leaving a small hole. Sasuke stopped himself with a kunai and tripped up yoroi, and using his other leg, kicked yoroi down and grabbed his arm, palm facing up. Sasuke was then in a complete hold of yoroi's arm. Yoroi just grunted and reversed his hand. He then charged chakra into his hand, sasuke then loosed his hold as yoroi slammed his fist down on sasuke and flipped backwards as sasuke shook on the floor. Yoroi grabbed his face and held him to the ground as sasuke loosed his hold and stayed there.

"My...chakra...?"

"You noticed?" yoroi chuckled.

Everyone watched as sasuke struggled and yoroi held him down. Some smirking, with shocked expressions, and others with straight faces. Sasuke kicked yoroi in the stomach to push him away. "The little guinea pig still has strength." taunted yoroi.

Yoroi rushed him trying to grab him, barely scraping him sasuke gets slightly sluggish. Sasuke did a roundhouse kick which the other jumped backwards to dodge. Yoroi charged his chakra again and charged. Sasuke weaved and dodged his repetitive strikes. With a smirk he kick him upward in the air.

I squeezed the handle bar on in front of me tightly. 'That was Lee's technique! That teme stole it from him with those damn eyes!'

"It's my own from here on out."

Sasuke jumped and grabbed him from behind, the curse mark spread like fire around his neck with each being the shape of a tomoe, and grabbed the left side of his face. "Damn it, it's spreading..." he struggled with those words.

He grunted as the mark reversed back into the mark. He smirked and grabbed the back of yoroi's shirt. He pulled yoroi down and punched his face downward and punched him again on the way. When he was about to touch the ground he kicked him, leaving a body shaped dent on the ground.

Shishi Rendan!

Sasuke then rolled off a considerable distance away. The two were still on the floor and everyone was silent. Sasuke stood up from the ground with ragged breath as everyone watched in bated breath. Hayate went and looked over yoroi. "I am stopping this match now. The winner of this first match is, Sasuke Uchiha. He passed the preliminaries.

Sasuke sat on the ground, breathing heavily. He was about to fall backward when kakashi poofed in behind him and held him upward with his knee while reading his ever so famous book. "Well, good job." kakashi said. Sasuke just smirked in response.

"Well someone took a quite a beating from that." I said chuckling , who was next to me, just stared at sasuke. His sensei, guy, stared at both sasuke and lee. No one said much for the next few minutes. Everyone else stared as well.

Ino went a bit fangirl at this. Others went into their own comments. Sasuke got up and followed kakashi out. I stared at his neck, he knows what'll happen if he used that too much. "Now then, cough, the second match. The screen scrolled through names one again and stopped on another two.

Abumi Zaku vs. Shino Aburame

From then on the matches were a small blur as they weren't really important to take memory of. I close my eyes and drift off to sleep.


I was shaken awake by the proctor. "Naruto uzumaki, it is your turn to fight." He said. I looked at him then at the screen. Sure enough, my name is there right above Kiba's. Kiba hoots about how he will win since he is fighting the dead last. I smile as I walk down the stairs. Oh the poor soul.

When I reach the arena kiba smirks at me as does his dog. The old monkey stared fondly at me but with a questioning look in the new attire and seemingly new attitude. As I approached the middle of the arena I take in kiba's attire once again and his dog.

Kiba has messy brown hair, sharp black eyes with vertical slit-like pupils, pronounced canine teeth and elongated nails with the distinctive inuzuka markings on his cheeks. Kiba's attire consisted of dark greyish pants reaching to his calves and a grey, hooded fur-lined coat, with the hood placed on his head with a blue forehead protector and blue sandals. Akamaru was walking next to him. Akamaru is a small puppy with a white fur coat, his eyes are squinted and has a dark brown nose with dark brown outline around his mouth and a patch on the outside of his ears. He has a tuft of hair sticking out from the top of his head.

They were still smirking at me, obviously thinking I was going to lose horribly. 'Think again, idiot.' "The match between Naruto Uzumaki and Kiba Inuzuka shall start...Now!" Hayate yelled as he jumped backwards.

(Play Most Fantastic Battle Music - Astral Blader)

I sped through handseals as kiba did his man beast clone. 'I obviously can't use my summons here and I won't be able to use any defensive jutsus since I know for a fact that his type of taijutsu can easily break through any doton defense I can think of...oh crap he's coming!'

Doton: Earth Spikes!

Spikes popped up from the ground and blocked kiba's path, nearly skewering akamaru. I jump forward onto a spike and jumped high in the air. Kiba, and akamaru barking, yelled with a cry of Fang over fang and rose upward to meet me. I summon hibiki's gauntlets and blast air in the opposite direction to rocket me to the left. I switch them with Chris's crossbows in mid-flight, which the colors have switched with it being majorly vermilion and black with orange arrows, and shot at him.

He gave a yelp as he stopped his justu and akamaru switched back to normal and fell straight down, nearly piercing themselves as they fell down to the spikes. "Dammit! Akamaru!" He yelled as grabbed a black pill of some kind from his pouch. He fed them to himself and akamaru, to which the dog changed to a red color and both gained a more feral look. He did another Fang over Fang heading straight towards me. I switched the crossbows with hibiki's gauntlets and sped through handseals.

Doton: Earth Hammer!

A large diagonal pole comes out of the ground beside me, I grab the handle and pulled with a cry. The earth shook and separated where the stick connected and out came a large hammer with the words 10 TON on the side. I smacked it into their twin twister-like attack and forced them to crash to the side. I sped through more handseals and yelled Doton: Earth Flow River! The ground under the two turn to mud as I hurried toward kiba , who was stuck trying to get out of the mud, and punched him with an air powered fist to the back of the head. He falls forward unconscious while akamaru tries to bite me when I put tsubasa's sword on top of his head. I mouth a 'sorry' to the dog.

(End music)

"Kiba is unable to fight. The winner of this match is Naruto Uzumaki!" I smile as the sword poofed away. Kiba is taken away by the medics and akamaru walk beside them.

I bowed to hayate and walked back up to the side of the arena. The old man gave me a look of 'We'll talk later', I gave no obvious facial expressions of a yes or no. Not that it mattered what my choice was.

The words on the screen shuffled again, though this time ending on two I didn't quite expect.

Neji Hyūga Vs. Hinata Hyūga

Neji smirked but hinata looked as if she was just stabbed, being even more pale than usual and shaking. Both of them walked down the steps in a steady pace, though for different reasons.

I became more focused in this match since it seemed the match was probably going to go farther than necessary. I summoned the girls.

They poofed up surrounding me wearing their school clothing with serious faces, though hibiki still hugged me.

"Naruto-chan! Why are we here?" She asked.

I smiled at her and indicated to the match below. She realized where she was and pulled away, standing next to tsubasa and chris, to watch the match.

At the center of the arena they both faced each other. I could tell hinata did not want to fight, though neji seemed hungry to beat his cousin.

"The match between Neji Hyūga and Hinata Hyūga shall begin...now!" Hayate yelled as he jumped backwards. Both of them immediately went into the standard Jūken stance, or known as the gentle fist.

"Forfeit this match, lady hinata. We both know it is fate for you to lose." (I felt extra snobby writing this.) Neji said. She wavered a bit at his words.

"C'mon hinata! We both know that neji's stick in his ass is so far up that it will disrupt his gentle fist!" I yelled. The girls all nodded at this with comical expression from chris. Hinata went pink and neji went red. Though the comment wasn't the best, hinata gained confidence.

"No, I will defeat you neji-neesan." She said with all the confidence she could attain at that moment.

"Hmph, I see." Neji said as he did a tiger seal at the same time as hinata, both yelling out "byakugan!" Both then jumped forward at each other. Though it was hard to follow for most, except naruto who had to watch for bullets from chris, they were stabbing each other with chakra daggers from their fingers. The gentle fist was a style accustomed to their Dōjutsu , the byakugan. They hit the tenketsu points, or the pressure points, of the others body, which are like chakra central points that spread chakra throughout the body like veins. Hit one with an injection of chakra and they weaken and explode.

As they were hitting each other in a fast pace, with each hit a small burst of chakra leaked out. I noticed hinata getting slower and slower. They then both hit each other at the stomach. The match was at a standstill, a pin could drop. We held our breath to see who got the hit. All of a sudden blood was splashed from hinata's mouth.

She withstood the hit and pushed neji's arm away from her chest and tried to strike him again. He grabbed it and jabbed her arm. She didn't move when he pulled back her sleeve and showed red points on her skin.

My eyes widen at this. He hit some of the 318 chakra points on hinata...by doing this, it will mess up her chakra flow by either increasing or decreasing it. I hadn't realized I said this out loud until sakura gasped.

"When did you learn that naruto?!" She asked, though it sounded like a demand.

"When did you start to pay attention?" I stated coldly and looked back at the fight, I wasn't in the mood for stupid questions while watching this. Neji palmed hinata and sent her flying backwards.

"Hinata, I am too strong for you. This is what separates us, and the failures from the elites. Though you may disagree, it's a fact, the moment you said you were going to defeat me, you were already fated for failure. Now, you're a hopeless case. Now forfeit the match." He said.

(Play Histories most Emotional Music: Byakuya - Yasuharu Takanashi)

Hinata panted as she struggled with her breath, her blood dripped from her mouth as she tried to get up.

"I-i will never go back on my w-word, neji...This is ninja way, as well." She said, struggling to get her words and standing up. Hinata is a whole lot tougher then I remember her being in the academy. I can see her resolve flowing from her.

I stood there watching hinata's back. The Girl herself has a lot more strength then what others believe. She activated her eyes again, though stopped her movement when she spat out blood once again, though neji got back into his stance.

They rushed at each other once more with more vigor. He stabbed her with more chakra bursts, she doing the same. The pain was getting to her as the blood was still coming from her mouth. He then did another palm strike at her stomach which knocked her back again.

"Hinata! Forfeit! You are too weak, which is why you suffer! You will never get past being a failure! This is your fate!" Neji said with more emotion then I thought he could muster.

Hinata still struggled on to her feet. "No...neji...i-it is you...who are suffering more than me...which is why I admire you so..." she said with a raspy breath.

Neji snarled at her and rushed at her, out of his stance.

(Stop music)

All of a sudden, smoke erupts around neji. I was in front of him, my crossbow charged and aimed at his neck. Kurenai had his hand and kakashi the other. Gai was hold his body back while tsubasa had a normal black katana at this neck. Hayate had fingers at his forehead while chris and hibiki had kunai aimed at his thighs. The jounin were shocked at seeing us four, especially me.

Hayate broke out of his stupor and spoke first "Neji! Get yourself together! No personal matters shall be part of this fight!"

"Why are you butting in?! The head family always has privileges, huh?!" Neji snarled.

I couldn't say anything as hinata coughed up blood again. kurenai and I let away from our positions and checked on her.

"Hinata, are you all right?!" I asked.

"N-naruto..." She said my name weakly, some words were mumbled after. I gripped my crossbow harder. Neji will pay.

"Hey loser!" I heard someone called. I looked up and realized it was directed at me from neji. I held myself back as I stood up to face him.

"Two things...First: If you intend to be a real ninja, stop interfering in others affairs and your stupid upbeat cheering. It's disgraceful. Second:...Once a failure, always a failure. That is fate's way." He said in a smug tone.

I flared my nostrils as I stood up, the girls appearing behind me. We blasted our killing intent at him, he fell to his knees as the other jounin tensed.

"If that is fate's way...I shall follow my own." I said with a monotone voice. "None of us shall play fate's petty game." I said as we cut off our Killing intent. Hinata then shot out more blood, kurenai gasped and checked her. Her faced showed no emotion but glanced at neji. She called for medics. I did one last glare at neji, who by now wasn't so sure about fighting me.

The girls and I went back to our side of the arena to watch the next match. The names on the screen rolled again, even if the numbers of genin were very low. It landed on to unexpected names.

Rock Lee Vs. Gaara

My eyes widen at this match up. Lee will get killed! Even if he was trained by the best taijutsu specialist in konoha, gaara has the power of a biju behind him! Lee whooped as he jumped toward the center of the arena. Gaara Shunshined to the center of the arena in front of lee with a neutral expression.

"Alright, the match between gaara and rock lee will begin...now!" Hayate yelled as he jumped back and Lee rushed at gaara.

Leaf Hurricane!

He smashed his leg at gaara side, which was block by a wall of sand. Lee jumped backwards while the sand tried to grab him. The sand retreated back into gaara's gourd while gaara stood still with a glare.

"Sand..." I said as sakura looked in wonder. Lee stood watching in his normal stance with one arm behind his back and the other arm facing the opponent, the hand reversed.

He rushed at gaara again, the latter being perfectly still. Lee kicked and grunted while trying to hit gaara, only to hit a wall of sand. The sand that he was kicking around came back at him from behind. Lee grabbed a kunai form his pouch and slashed at the sand. He then jumped backwards to escape it.

He jumped up and threw shuriken at gaara, the sand still blocking whatever he threw at gaara.

"He...can't even get close." sakura said in shock. I stood still watching the match. I know he isn't control of the sand, it must be shukaku.

"Is that it? There isn't enough blood for this to be over." Gaara said in a raspy voice, he bloodshot eyes growing bigger. The sand extended and grabbed lee by the leg. He grunted when he was thrown at the wall. Lee jumped to the side to dodge another punch of sand and rushed at lee with kicks and punches.

"Why is he only using taijutsu? Why not gain distance and use ninjutsu or genjutsu?" Sakura asked.

"Because he only knows taijutsu, it's the only thing he can use in the first case." Gai answered.

"How is that possible?!" Sakura said.

"Ha! If you think this is bad, you should have seen him before I met him. He was powerless." Gai said in a happy tone.

Back in the match, lee was flipping backwards to avoid the sand consuming him, which looked suspiciously like claws. He slipped onto his back as the sand rose up and dove at him. I sucked my breath in as the sand seem to consume him. I looked up as lee was flipping onto the finger of the hands in front of the screens.

"A ninja who can't use the long ranged skill set of a ninja is rare. Lee can only rely on his taijutsu anyway... Lee! Take them off!" Gai said with a smile.

"B-but...you said I was only supposed to take those off when important people are in danger." Lee said in an astonished tone.

"It's an exception!" Gai said with a smile. Lee sit down and took of weight from his legs. My eyes widen, as did hibiki. Those were almost the same weight as a grown Akimichi...Or a elephant! With hibiki being our taijutsu star, she never gotten that far into her training!

When they landed on the ground they shook the arena, as well as making two huge plumes of smoke and debris. Lee sighed as if that was a simple burden.

Sakura and everyone else, including the sand shinobi, were shocked and wore comical expressions. Kakashi seemed embarrassed though.

"Go Lee!" Gai said. I smiled at their enthusiasm.

Lee jumped forward and disappeared. Gaara's eyes widened as lee appeared behind to punch, almost hitting gaara in the head. He was jumping around gaara, barely missing him. Everyone was shocked at this development as Gai had a smug smirk. I was smiling broadly at this, as was hibiki, she knew what it was like to not have the essentials to your fighting style. She had no "normal" armed gear.

"Since he couldn't perform nin or genjutsu, we focused all our time on taijutsu. He can match the gentle fist blow for blow." Gai said smugly.

Lee did a dropkick on gaara, which caused a mark on his face. The suna shinobi gasped as this. I guess their jinchūriki wasn't all-powerful. Lee appeared a distance away.

"He is a fast one, eh hibiki." I said in a happy tone. She smiled at me in agreement. Chris and Tsubasa were still wearing shocked faces.

"Go Lee!" Hibiki, Gai, and I yelled. Lee smirked and launched another assault on gaara, confusing him with "Over here" over and over again. Sakura cheered for lee while most others were shocked still. Gaara stood back up from a punch from lee with the sand from his gourd falling out.

"Crap." I heard Kankurō say next to me. Crap? What is going to happen now? The girls must have noticed to since they gained nervous expressions as well. I noticed pieces of sand falling off from where gaara's face was. He looked up and I saw cracked pieces of sand falling of his face in pieces. He was smiling wickedly.

"He...he was wearing a shell..." I said in a shocked tone. There isn't a mark on him. The sand surrounding gaara rose into the air around him, then it was flowing onto his body. Gaara's smile disappeared as the sand stopped flowing into him, the cracks were gone as well.

The sand was spinning slowly around him.

"Is that it?" Said gaara with a lazy drawl in his voice. Gai then nodded behind me, as if agreeing with something. Lee must have indicated something since he took off a strip of bandage from both of his arms. He ran in a circle in top speed, leaving behind a debris and cloud circle around gaara.

Lee then kicked gaara upward and continued kicking him high enough into the air as the sand rose up with them. Gai put his hands together and squeezed, he must be hoping for something. After lee kicked gaara high enough, the bandages then grew and covers gaara completely in bandages, except his head.

They began to spin downward in shocking speed.

Primary Lotus!

When the two hit the ground a large plume of debris and smoke rose again. Lee jumped out of the smoke with heavy breathing. Gaara lay in the ground with other rocks turned upward, his body having cracks. Most wore shock faces. Though hibiki, Gai, and Sakura cheered for him.

Gaara wore a wide expression...until his body fell inward. We gasped as his body was cracking under pressure until it was just sand.

"It was an actual shell!" I yelled.

A column of sand rose behind lee, gaara appeared under it with a crazed smirk on his face. You could hear his merciless laughing from here. Gaara put his hands in a Tiger seal as he pummeled lee with sand. He then made the sand rose and attack lee, pushing him to a wall.

"Why won't he dodge?! He is sure as hell fast enough!" Sakura yelled.

"That technique...it did more than hurt the fake gaara." Kakashi said.

"It slowed him down and taxed down on his condition." Hibiki and I said together. The sand rose again and toyed with lee as he dodged with jumps. The sand beat into lee again and again.

"Gaara will toy with the kid until he begs for mercy." Kankurō said in a smug voice.

"Lee doesn't know how to give up." Gai said in a tight voice. The sand rose and smacked into lee again and again. I noticed lee was unable to dodge the sand. "That technique must have taken a toll on lee..." I said

Back at the match gaara was still just hitting lee with sand over and over again, though something was different now. When I looked closer at lee's face I noticed that he was...smiling.

"Why is he smiling...?" I questioned aloud. Gai smiled next to me in a "I know something you don't" manner.

"The lotus of the leaf blooms twice." He said in a knowing voice. Kakashi turned and glared at gai.

"You...you taught that boy the eight gates?! Just for the hidden lotus!" Kakashi said shocked. "Of all the... how many gates can the boy open?!"

"...5 gates."

"Okay, what exactly are the eight gates?!" sakura yelled.

"The eight gates are basically chakra limiters. These gates hold back some chakra so you don't overexert yourself with chakra. Though when they say 'opening one of the eight gates'. You can release a large amount of chakra in your system to boost physical capabilities." I said.

"The eight gates go like this, in order: The gate of opening, healing, life, pain, limit, view, wonder, and death. As naruto-chan said, they limited chakra flow. Although gai and lee's technique probably put so much pressure into these gates that some open. I'm guessing the primary lotus unlocks the first gate, the gate of opening. This gate, when unlocked, causes the brain to use 100% of muscles to unlock the bodies strength. The second, the gate of healing, just increases the strength while the third, the gate of life,...well I guess it's gai's time to explain." hibiki said, shocking some with her knowledge.

"Y-yes, well. When one opens the third gate, they go into the hidden lotus." Gai said, I tuned out their conversation for the match.

The air pressure around lee grew, the sound roared in my ears. Veins popped out on lee's forehead while his skin turned red. Chakra poured our of lee as the air pressure grew.

"The third gate! Gate of life! Open!" The ground around shattered and broke apart at his energy output.

"The Fourth gate! Gate of pain! Open!" Lee yelled as more veins popped out, his chakra growing immense. All of a sudden the ground broke apart as lee ran at gaara and kicked him upward. The sand rose up and tried to protect him.

Lee popped out and ricocheted gaara in the air with punches and kicks. Lee was a blur, as was gaara.

"The fifth gate! Gate of closing! Open!" I heard lee said as hibiki and my eyes were wide. Chris and tsubasa were also wide-eyed. Lee punched gaara downward but brought him back up again with a bandage.

When he brought gaara up he brought down his arm and leg.

HIDDEN LOTUS!

Lee fell on the floor exhausted as the ground around where gaara fell rose up and hid him from sight. Lee was on the floor breathing as the dust cleared away.

Gaara was on his back breathing heavily as the sand cushioned his fall.

The sand rose and went forward and grabbed lee's arm and leg. Gaara reached his hand and tightened it into a fist.

SAND COFFIN

Lee screamed as the sand tightened around his arm and leg. The sand rolled back and was about to cover him completely when someone blocked the sand.

The sand was pushed outward by two people, hibiki and gai.

Hibiki had her fist out and gai seemed to have smacked the sand away. He looked a bit shocked at hibiki being there but ignored it anyway.

I rushed down and knelt next to lee and looked him over. Tsubasa was next to me doing a diagnostic jutsu. When did she know medical justu? She must have known what I would think that because she answered.

"With how much hibiki over does it, someone needed to know the jutsu." She said in a laughing tone. She looked over his arms and legs and cringed.

"They're...almost completely shattered..." Tsubasa said utterly shocked. My eyes widen at lee as gai gained tears. The medics then took lee away.

I tightened my jaw as I saw the medic take lee away. I wanted to beat gaara to the ground regardless of the ichibi. He was going down one way or another. I turned around headed back onto the sides waiting for the last match.

Dosu Kinuta vs. Chōji Akimichi

Hibikis face was slightly passive while she was staring at the...big boned...boy fighting the one-eyed sound nin. I guess she liked lee more than I thought, even if they didn't really know each other. The girls weren't really ninjutsu based, they used their symphogears for combat and those didn't really count as much.

Even if they just used the armor, hibiki is still stunted from the fact that she doesn't have the actual gungnir armed gear. The relic she inherited wasn't complete since she inherited kanade's, but they were only able to obtain a small part. Not enough for the full gear, since this small predicament hibiki then just used the symphogear energy output into her physical powers. The girls don't begin to have a gear in the first place unless a relic bonds with them such. Tsubasa, kanade, and chris all bonded with theirs, albeit forcefully in kanade's case, at a young age and so forth was able to train in them longer. Chris was another exception in this since she had the capabilities of using two relic, Nehushtan and Ichiaival. These types of things were rare, even if one was just trying forcefully activate the suit to full power until the real owner came along. Chris's version of Nehushtan was silver instead to the normal golden, and since it was fine's armor it was still not up to its full capacity. Chris found ichiaival and bonded to that gear and gave Nehushtan back to fine. Tsubasa bonded with hers early and trained with multiple tutors. A shocking fact was that most of the summons from the symphogear contracts didn't have armor and just their own strengths. The one who trained hibiki was armor-less but was able to spar with fine on an even level. Tsubasas main tutor was essentially an actual ninja with speed. Though the people who could fight without armor were rare, they still existed. Even to the group of symphogear summons who defected from them and formed their own summon contract...

I looked back to the match to discover it was over, to my shock. That quick, huh? Dosu won much to the groups displeasure. The old monkey called all who passed down back to the middle arena and told us to pick a number to determine whom we fought. The girls decided now was the perfect time to poof back to

I ignored the others but noticed it was sasuke vs. gaara and neji vs. I. Oooooh, this was going to be good. We apparently had a month to train for the tournament.

The old man gave me a look which reminded me about having to talk to him. I don't really want to, but I don't have a choice. Everyone left the arena while the hokage was going to grab me before kakashi looked at and said something annoying.

"Meet me in training ground 7 after your talk." he said with his face in his perverse book. I gave him an annoyed look before looking at the hokage as we Shunshined to his office.


Now using this technique seems dandy and such, but the feeling of transporting was not a pleasant one. It was completely different from my way of transporting, mine was a safer way while shunshin was quick and easy. Something tells me the ANBU that took me enjoyed seeing my slightly pale face at the feeling, I could practically feel his smirk.

The hokage sat at his desk with his trusty pipe in his mouth. I was glad I had my scarf on to cover my mouth as I was biting my lip in the silence. Finally he decided to break the awkwardness.

"So...mind telling where these new powers and attitude came from?" he said in his grandfatherly voice. I know he meant no harm and he was honestly curious, either of fear from the kyuubi or just wondering where the hell I got my new abilities from. So I explained. I explained my meeting with fine and the kyuubi, much to his displeasure, and told what I could do exactly. There was no need to lie since it wasn't really too big of a secret to be kept hidden under wraps...well maybe the kyuubi meeting, but details,details.

He asked me to summon and fine and what happened wasn't really shocking. She appeared in the usual poof of smoke and was apparently clothed in...very little. She was wearing a veil slightly hiding her eyes but you could feel her staring into your soul. A golden choker with multiple rings was around her neck with a blue jewel in the middle, two ends extended down to her hands with rings near the bottom. Her blond hair was slightly floating, I claim chakra, giving her a mysterious look. Ribbons covered her breasts, slightly, and there was a somewhat larger ribbon , with a blue stripe in the middle, located at her stomach keeping everything together, with one on her back right on top of her butt also keeping the clothes together. She a smooth skirt reaching her ankles, she was also barefoot showing her golden nail polish.

This attire of hers caused the male ANBU in the room and hokage to have massive nosebleeds, having the female ANBU in the room with a cat mask glare daggers at her teammates and the hokage.

The hokage was the first to recover and looked at fine.

"Hello miss, are the boss summon of narutos summons?" he asked.

"Yes, that would be me." She said in an amused tone.

"So, for what reason did you choose naruto to be your summoner to the mass of many who tried to sign your contract? No offense to you naruto." the old pervert said quickly to my stare.

Fine was silent for a moment before deciding to speak. "There is something called the song of heart. Everyone has this thought few actually listen and fewer who are even able to listen. As the eyes are the window to the soul, their song is their heart and desire. Most who decided to sign my contract had corrupt songs and so I didn't allow them to sign the contract."

"So why did you kill them afterwards? Every single one who attempted to sign." He interrupted. That made me widen in shock, if fine didn't like my song she could've just killed me? Well that explains why she was in the forbidden scroll.

She allowed a small smile to grace her face. "By doing this I saved you from multiple future enemies, more than once have I heard a person's heart saying to take over konoha." The hokage paled by this, he should probably respect her more.

"In any case, I chose naruto because of his song of the heart. For I had never heard of a song so pure, yet so sad. It also didn't help since I could hear his tenants heart as well. It only added to my desire to have the boy under my care. By listening to the song you may get memories of the person's life, I still have half a mind to crush this village down to the ground." Fine said with a growl unleashes a tiny bit of killing intent, which was still close to the kyuubi but was contained in the room. Even the recovered ANBU were shivering slightly at the power.

"All in all, I am loyal to naruto who is loyal to the village, to an extent. So don't worry about girls going around your village singing and destroying things. Until next time hokage-san, valeo." She said as she poofed away while curtsying. I had an amused expression, matching fines, while the hokage seemed a bit shocked.

"Well...I suppose that explains all of that, so good day naruto. Oh, and make sure to visit the hot spring." The hokage said while smiling. I smiled back and ran to training ground 7. I wonder what's at the hot spring...


I arrived to find kakashi reading his book with another man...ebisu... who for fuck's sake.

"Naruto! Sorry for raining on your parade but I won't be able to train you!" He said cheerfully until my comment caught on.

"You make it sound like I wanted you to be trained for the month." I deadpanned. He tripped up a bit and scratched the back of his head. He then indicated to ebisu, whom seemed more arrogant as he pushed up his glasses.

"Well I was going to have him train for the month." kakashi said.

"No." I simply said.

"But naruto-"

"You should know that I could defeat ebisu easily, I had you by the ears. What makes you think he could teach me anything?" I said as kakashi tried to laugh it off as I remembered when I met him and konohamaru. I beat him with a harem no jutsu.

"Well if you can't think of a reason, I'm going to go." I said as I turned around and left, this just wasted my time...

Soon enough I arrive at the hot spring and look around, nothing interesting here. What was the old man thinking? Or better yet, scheming. I turn the corner about to exit the place when I heard snickering in the corner.

I narrowed my eyes, I only hear those kinds of snickering from the old monkey and kakashi...that means...

I summoned hibiki's gauntlets before turning the corner to see who it was...and what a strange person it was indeed. The man wore a green short shirt kimono and matching pants; under which he wore mesh Armour that showed out of the sleeves and legs of his outfit. His outfit was completed with hand guards, a simple black belt, wooden sandals, a red haori with two simple yellow circles on each side, and a scroll on his back. He had waist-length, spiky white hair tied back into a pony tail, with two shoulder-length bangs that framed both sides of his face. He also had red lines that ran down from his eyes and wore a horned forehead protector with the kanji for 'Oil. He had a blush on his face with a notepad looking through a hole in the girls hot spring. I hate perverts. A sent an air powered fist at his back as he forced himself through the wall.

I hid away watching to see what would happen. A guess was never far off with the words 'pervert' and 'get him'. Minutes later I see him walk out pummeled and beaten down. I look down on him on a branch and smirk.

"That was quick..." I said. He got out of his stupor and glared at me fiercely, not that it was much compared to what I was used to.

"Oi brat! How dare you interrupt my research?!" the man said, whom I now identified as jiraiya the toad sannin.

"How dare you be a pervert." I retorted. This unnatural hatred for perverts only grew as I lived with 3 independent women. Scary women.

"I'm not just any pervert! I'm a super pervert!" He said with a pose and a poof of smoke as he was now standing on a frog.

"The first step to fixing a problem is admitting you have one." I said, shaking with mirth. The act was funny, I'll give him that. He only gained a tick mark of sorts but I am not one to say anything about anger.

"Dammit, stupid brat! Maybe I should teach you a lesson!" he said in a threatening tone with a bit of killing intent. I brushed it off because I was used to fine's earlier.

"Maybe later." I said with a laugh as I went away in my vermilion orb, leaving him shocked with words with my last words to him.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki! I don't care who you are and who you owe a favor to! I don't like you!"


I knew jiraiya was my godfather, so I didn't like all too much. I would honestly would prefer to watch him pumped full of lead from chris instead of having a simple conversation with him.

I already had a plan for the month, kyuubi did something to me and fine said I had something in me that would help me in the future. I don't mind the help, but I would prefer to know what the hell the help was.

I summoned hibiki to she could reverse summon to Kadingir. I poofed up in front of the throne fine is currently sitting on. I gave a look for earlier with the hokage.

"You were messing with them weren't you?" I said

"Why, whatever makes you think that?" she said in mock surprise and hurt, but had an undertone of amusement. I laughed at her attempt of innocence.

"Well, in any case I only have a month of training left, so I think i'll train here, if that's okay." I added afterward, this was her domain and I was in it with no way out. It was better to be more respectful than usual, even if we were on close terms.

"Of course, though I'm wondering why you don't just use the time-lapse we all have?" hibiki and the other two girls raise an eyebrow at this.

"I kind of think it's cheating a bit, to use a time stopping ability to get training in, I would prefer to go the normal way." I said with a nod. She gave me a proud smile at this.

"Alright then. Since we can't use the extra time that ability gives us, then we will just have to train harder." She said with a malicious look in her eyes. I slightly regret this decision.


I think I'll stop it here, I don't think I should go on now, since I feel like I dragged it out now. So I end the chapter here. I will add more interaction between naruto and jiraiya later, I am not a fan of jiraiya at all, but he is essential to the story. This chapter is a lot longer with the fighting scenes and I skipped most of them since they weren't all that important.

Now, something I didn't expect was a lot more feedback on naruto being raised by miku as a child and then inheriting the Shen Shou Jing relic. I thought that was awesome and hilarious.

So now I AM working on multiple fics, so this is an added reason why I haven't updated in a while, aside from school and other horrid activities. With a small writers block with this story since I thought I was starting just follow the episode story-line and not add my own spice so I wanted to give it more.

So yeah, I didn't want to go so far in neji's battle because this is already the most I've written in a chapter and I don't want to write then I think might overwhelm me. NEXT CHAPTER, I PROMISE, WILL HAVE THE FIGHT. Also an appearance of a special somebody will occur to, so watch out.

I'm writing this part so the chapter can go to 8,000 words. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

SO YEAH, I'M DONE WITH THIS NOW AND SO SEE YOU NEXT CHAPTER. CIAOSSU!
