The Orange Prodigy

As you probably know by now, I do not fully describe characters or places because I trust you know about them, if yoh don't go and watch the anime before reading.

please note that I made a mistake and forgot to mention that Sasuke obtains Sharjngan when he encounters Orochimaru and hears his brother's name but he does not get the cursed seal. Pein saves him from that

Also this woll be a heavily action based chapter, however it will nkt be normal fast paced action but a bit slow because k have some explaining to do.

also please note yhat Hinata's fkght will be like naruto vs neji coz Naruto taught Hinata.

And in this Hinata will also become powerful

also please dont skip the fight as they will be crucial for explaining in later chapters.

Chapter 10 : The Preliminaries

All of the genin (except gaara) were anxious aboht the first match

The 'random' matchup generator then revealed Sakura's name as she stiffened. Naruto patted her kn the shoulder. Then the second name revealed Shikamaru was going to be her opponent.

Sakura was sure she could beat Shikamaru, he never really had any skills now that she though about It. She had never seen Shikamaru once fight. Sakura was congratulating herself as she came down off the balcony of the spectating area.

There were so many worse opponents she could be up against like Sasuke, Naruto, Neji and that Rock Lee guy. Instead she hat orobably gotten the easiest opponent.

"Sakura Haruno vs Shimarau Nara" Getto called out after the opponents were both in position

This was going to be the easiest thing in the world for Sakura.

"start"

Sakura ran at Shikamaru jumping in the air and going for a kick on top of his shoulder, however he actually moved away. Now that she had thought of it, she had never faught a moving target let alone another person in her life.

Sakura had decided to use the iron leg taijutsu they had been raught in the academy because she didn't want her nails to be harmed. To her that was a good idea but everyone else knew that Shikamaru had also gone to the academg and learnt the same exact taijutsu style, so he knew how to counter it.

Naruto facepalmed and Sasuke facewalled. Kakashi just continued reading his lerveted book as team 7 was being insulted.

Sakura then went for a knee to the stomach then the leg from beside combo but Shikamaru just caught her leg and threw her over himself and onto the ground. Shikamaru would usually just forfeit but he couldn't lose to a girl but then again he couldn't hit a girl either so he ddcided to just evade all of her attacks until he could use 'that' jutsu.

Sakura kept coming at him with the iron legg style and she just kept wastjng her energy. She was making a fool of herself in front of Sasuke. She then decided to use the rapid jab taijutsu (something they had also learnt in the academy). That was her mistake. The seccond she stepped un Shikamaru's shadow to jab him, sbe couldn't move.

"Shadow replicate jutsu success" Shikamaru stated with no motivatikn in monotone.

She was worried about what Shikamaru was going to do but ghen he did the most horrible thing in the world. He wrapped her own hand around her hair and began to tug

"Forfeit or I'll tug all of your hair out" Shikamaru said

Sakura immediateky forfeited.

Winner : Shikamaru Nara

Ino broke the record for world's most highpitched cheer. She decided biting her nails of was well worth it.

Hinata then cuddled Naruto as the next matchup was decided

Rock Lee vs Gaara.

Skip to the end of the battle. ( Same exact battle in the anime)

Naruto was amazed at bushy brows talent. His hardwork had made him this powerful. He then also looked at the victor : Gaara, Shikaku's Jinchuriki. Sasuke hn'ed.

The next name that had appeared on the board was Hinata's. Then Naruto was horrified after finding out who zhe was up against.

Last years top rookie - Hyuga Neji and her cousin brother.

Both Hyugas made their way down to the field as Ten Ten smiled. She knew Neji had always wanted to prove that he was stronger that the main family and now was his chance. Naruto was sickened by the smirk on Neji's face.

Hinata was prepared however, Naruto had trained he the past few days and she was at her strongest. Sakura was excited by the fight when she found out another girl was fighting. That was when she noticed that hinata had been wearing Naruto weight vest. Sakura knew as a fact that the vest couldn't be worn by anyone else because they would be burned. Maybe Naruto had altered the seals for Hinata.

"Start"

"Byakugan" both hyugas said at the same time. Neji was ready to show off a new move that he had prepared for Naruto to watch. He wanted to show to Naruto how strong he really was. Neji assesed his thoughts, did he consider that blonde bastard a rival.

Neji however didn't have time to think as Hinata's chakra leaked out of her fists and began performing fiery dragon heads. Hinata's chakra was special like that and instead of being the normal blue her chakra was dark purple. She then came at Neji.

To any spectators watching without a sharingan or byakugan it was just a 5 minute blur of white purple and black but Naruto, Sasuke and Kakashi could see the whole thing. It was amazing how the two moved using a super confusing taijutsu style against each other. Neji was amazed of Hinata improvement, she could actually fight on parr with him now, definately stronger than Ten Ten. Then Hinata and Neji finally seperated and stopped for a minute. It was then that Neji said that fate decreed him to win.

Naruto shouted out to stop acting like a know it all and how everything isn't predetermined by fate at birth. That was when Neji showed everyone his caged bird cursed seal mark and told them his story. Hinata was horrified at what her father had done and the metaphorical imprisonment of all her cousins and uncles.

Neji then came at her at light speed, catching her off guard. Hitting one of her tenketsu.

Hinata retailiated with a swift kick to neji's head but he ducked which was just what she wanted as she poured chakra out of her hand but nothing happened. She then realised what Neji had done and leapt back a hood distance away from him.

Neji then explained that the tenketsu were points that the chakra flowed through and that someone could control and manipulate your chakra flow by hitting them. He also revealed that he could see the tenketsh wkth his byakugan. Sasuke hn'ed at this too.

Then Hinata thought fast and decided to make 3 kage bunshin (Shadow clones). With them she had a chance because her chakra was spread evenly across all of them.

Hinata then proceeded in attackjng Neji with everything she had. It was confusing Neji jntil he realised that the one that held back the most was the real one.

Hinata then revealed that she knew Neji would think this and that was why she was attacking Neji with everything she had.

The third smiled at this as Hinata was abkut to land a hit.

"Kaiten" Neji screamed as he whilpooled his chakra and parried her attack.

Ten ten was amazed at how far Hinata had pushed Neji while yhe third was surprised that a branch family member had come up with the main family secret technique.

Blood came out from Hinata's mouth as Neji had started to perform his tenketsu hits. Naruto looked away, tears coming to his eyes.

Neji finished his technique as Hinata fell to the floor, unable to move.

Neji then claimed to have blocked all of Hinata's tenketsu.

"Dropout" Neji called Hinata.

Hinata heard Naruto's soft and loud voice that reminded her never to give up

"KAI" (release) Hinata screamed as her 50kg vest suddenly became as light as a feather.

Turqouise Chakra began leaking out of the Black Vest/flak jacket. This chakra was unique to only Naruto and his mother. Neji looked up at Naruto smiling as a red haired anbu screamed out 'crush him'.

The chakra leaking out of the vest was suddenly absorbed by Hinata but there was too much to absorb, so it remained leaking. Neji then realised that she had been carrying so much weight while she had been fighting Neji.

Hinata the charged at Neji at anazing speeds, Neji began to start the kaiten and then everything became white. Hinata and neji were both stuck in holes that they had made. The entire ground had been ruptured. Neji was the first to stand up, he could barely move but still him managed to walk over tk Hinata's paralised body.

Since Neji's kaiten parries the attack Hinata had suffered more damage from the battle. Ten Ten was mazed at how close Hinata had come to defeating Neji. Then the paralised Hinata burst into white smoke as Hinata came up from beneath the ground smashing Neji with insane strength.

Hinata stood before Neji's paralised body body as she told him Kiba's story and how he had failed to transform properly because of his dog like appearance, there would always be a distinguished dog like feature on his transformations. He had failed the academy graduation exams two time until he mastered a stronger version of the tansformation technique. He was able to transform other living things, which required lots of chakra.

She also told him of Naruto inability to control his chakra properly and how he decided to use weight sealed clothes so he could pour immense amounts of chakra into them to be able to control his chakra.

"The power to believe" the sandaime said "The power to believe yourself is the power to change fate, you used to know it well Kushina and it seems you've taught your son well."

Kushina smiled that do many youngsters had found out how she changed her fate.

Winner: Hyuga Hinata

Naruto was so happy that hinata hadn't given up and that was basically the reason she had won. Even when she was defeated by neji's kaiten she looked on to find a new way to fight against the now unconcious neji. Hinata was about to fall but Naruto hirashined to her and caught her just as she fell unconcious, before she did though she gave him a peck on the cheek.

The sandaime swore that the jutsu he had used was the hirashin but that was impossible, Kushina was just hapoy because of the two reminded here of mjnato and her when they were children.

The random matchup board the selected another duo to fight. However the fight was delayed because they needed to fix the arena so now abumi zaku and Aburame Shino would have to wait. Which gave Shino all the time he needed to prepare.

Hinata had woken up sometime during Shino's fight and Hinata was haply that Naruto had decided to stay back with he instead of watch the fight.

He then did something that would've made the old Hinata faint. He got in her bed. He snapoed his fingers and a couole of clones brought some resteraunt quality cuisine in, it was so romantic, dinner in bed. The rest of the fights had been postponed till tommorow because it was already 8pm. So he didn't have to worry about going back to the arena for his fight.

"Tonight its just you and me" Naruto said in his soft voice that made Hinata blush. Then he slapped his hands together and a couple of other clones brought in some luxury furniture including a 140 inch tv. A 140 inch tv in a hospital room.

Naruto then gave her a flack jacket similiar to his except it was dark purple. "Since you looked so good out there with it, I took the liberty of making one just for you, with all the seals already in it. Hinata gifted him with a long and passionate kiss after that.

End of Chapter 10.

Now I know I said that I would show zaku's and Shino's fight but the hinata neji fight took way longer than I expected and of course since this was a heavily hinata based chaptsr I needed to show some romance because the chunin exams are heavily action based.

Also I know Hinata's fight mirrored Naruto's fight with neji but thats because I have something else planned for the final round of the chunin exams and since I loved this fight so much I decided to use it.

Also yes The chakra in the vest was vast amounts of Naruto's chakra poured into it.
