Chapter 9: explanations and preliminaries
After the teams made their way into the tower they felt a little relieved. They wouldn't have to worry about being killed and they had some time to relax a bit. After an hour of relaxing everyone who saw the incident pulled Naruto aside. With them were there senseis who had been informed of what had happened in the forest.
"So Naruto," Hinata said, her arms crossed, "What was that in the forest earlier?" The others looked at him with curiosity especially Sasuke and Sakura. Naruto pointed at Sakura, Sasuke and Kiba. "You three. Out. This is for people I trust alone." he ordered. Sasuke smirked, "I'm an Uchiha. I deserve to know what that power was. Besides any secret you have can be of use to me." Sakura and Kiba stayed put until Minato picked them up by the collars and threw them out of the room. Naruto faced his friends. "It started on the day I was born," he started everyone listened intently, "The same day I was born was the day that the Kyuubi attacked. (every one gasps) As it turns out he wasn't attacking is spite he was trying to avenge it's wife and pups when he found them killed in his home. You were told that the Kyuubi was destroyed by the fourth, right." Everyone nodded. "This isn't the truth." They all stared at Naruto. "The demon was in fact sealed inside of a newborn baby." Hinata looked nervous. "Who was it?" she asked. "Me." Everyone looked as if they were watching a horror movie. "Why would the fourth do that?" Shikamaru said after a few moments of stunned silence. "That was a mistake on my part," said the hokage grief in his voice. "I actually expected the village to treat him like a hero for keeping the demon at bay." Tears actually started to form on his face. "What did they do?" to answer them Naruto lifted up his shirt. Everyone gasped at the sight of the scars and wounds that covered his body. There wasn't a dry eye in the room. Even Shino had tears running down his face. "How?" Shikamaru asked with tears running down his face. "How can they still call themselves human?" Hinata was on the ground balling. Naruto picked her up in his arms and held her until she stopped crying.
"By the way Naruto," Hinata asked, "How did you get that silver chakra?" Naruto actually smiled at that, "I think you should talk to the one that gave me that power.(he drew Elyon's sword and drove it into the floor) Elyon awake from the dreamless sleep!"
As soon as those words word uttered the sword exploded in silver chakra. It swirled and flashed until it focused and formed a figure. A man stood in completely silver armor with a gold trim. His helmet was like kyuubi's only his didn't have horns and his eyes were a shining gold. "Guys," Naruto said, ""This is Elyon: King of the Dragons." Elyon gave a deep bow.
"For those of you who want to know I am the reason behind hat gold and silver chakra. (everyone listened) My eyes have seen a great deal of things including how Naruto was treated over his life. When he didn't turn his back on his village I knew I found someone to take my power. Only one pure of heart can take it. When I found Naruto's body in the river after the betrayl I picked him from the river and carried him to my cave. His wound had healed thanks to Kyuubi but if he had taken his power alone he could have been corrupted so I gave him some of my power as a deal we made. He gets Kyuubi's strength and he doesn't become corrupt" Everyone was shell shocked at this news but Hinata had a question. "Why didn't you give him your power earlier?" Elyon chuckled slightly "How would it look if a dragon came down and gave his power to the alleged demon of a village?" Hinata nodded understanding. "Now that we have an understanding I would like to have a word with Naruto in private. So would Kyuubi."
Everyone got the message and filed out. As they left Sasuke and Sakura stared in awe at Elyon. Sasuke was about to go in and order something to Elyon if Gai hadn't dragged him.
Naruto took out Kyuubis sword and brought him out. "So what is it you guys wanted to talk about?" he asked. Elyon had a serious look in his golden eyes. "Naruto when you accepted our power you got more than you thought." Naruto looked at his ally. "When you accepted out power you also got a dojutsu from us both." Naruto's eyes went wide. "I got a what from both of you?" he asked/yelled. "Calm yourself kit." Kyuubi said trying to calm the kid down. After a few minutes Naruto was calm enough to ask something, "So what are they and what can they do?" Both Elyon and Kyuubi grinned. "Well," Kyuubi started, "Mine is the Kitsune Eye. Your eye will turn red like it does when your angry but this is more of a flame red and it will change shades like a lava lamp and the pupil will be orange. With it you can cast a powerful genjutsu. This kind can lead to the death of a person if the jutsu is strong enough." Naruto had to admit he was impressed. "So what is yours?" He asked Elyon. "Mine," he responded, "Is the Dragon Eye. Your iris will turn a bright green with a silver slit pupil and the whites will turn gold. You will also have three stars in the iris also silver. This dojutsu will allow you to copy any move you see from ninjutsu to taijutsu to kekei genkai." Naruto was in disbelief powerful genjutsus and the ability to copy any technique? Man this was just getting better and better. "Now I suggest you get going your friends are waiting." Elyon said smiling. The two turned back to chakra and flew back to Naruto. After they merged Naruto took off toward his friends.
As soon as Naruto arrived things got under way. Before they started they found out someone had to quit in the end Kabuto did. "All right," said the hokage. Naruto noticed he was with the proctors for the first two exams and all the senseis. "Since so many of you have passed the second part of the exam we will have to have some preliminary rounds before the final part. You will be randomly selected from the computer and your names will be put up on the screen. Those not fighting will be up in the banister to avoid being hurt." After he finished speaking The computer started selecting names the first was 'Sakura Haruno vs. Ino Yamanaka'. Zabuza went down into the arena and called the two down.
The two girls entered the ring and Sakura started mouthing off. "Just give up Ino-pig. Sasuke is mine." Ino chuckled, "You want him? You can have him." Sakura's jaw along with the jaws of her former teammates and sensei hit the floor. "What?" Sakura asked. Ino chuckled again, "I've found some one who is actually worth going after. Sasuke is just a spoiled punk who thinks he deserves everything he's been given. He's just a major weakling." Sakura got angry that her love was just insulted she charged and threw a punch before Zabuza started the match which of course disqualified her. To her surprise Ino caught it and with the slightest of strength threw her across the room forming a crater in the opposite wall. Gain, Asuma, and Kurenai looked at Kushina. "What?" she asked. "All that was is basic chakra control." They stared at Ino who had a victorious smile on her face.
"Winner: Ino Yamanaka." Zabuza stated
The next set of names were Sasuke's and a rain ninja's. When the two started fighting Sasuke found out he could drain chakra by touching him. Sasuke actually managed to get the upper hand and used a powerful taijutsu move. Naruto swore he heard Lee growl. "What's up bushy brow?" he asked. "That," Lee said, "Is my Taijutsu move." Naruto looked at Sasuke who now stood over his defeated opponent. The next match was Ten-ten against Temari. Ten-ten lost because of Temari's wind attacks and ended up getting brought down onto Temari's iron fan. Shikamaru went agains Kin from the sound village. He won since he tricked her with his shadow possession jutsu and caused her to slam her own head into the wall. Shino had the pleasure of fighting Zaku. Zaku lost because Shino had plugged up these vents in his arms that let him fire sonic waves. In the process they also destroyed his arms. Kankuro went against a rain ninja who could dislocate his joints to make himself incredibly flexible. He cracked Kankuro's neck but the one he cracked was a puppet. The real Kankuro was in the sack on his back. In the end the rain ninja had his neck broken.
Then came the moment Naruto had been waiting for. It was his turn to fight and his opponent was Kiba. "Ha Ha Ha! All right!" Kiba yelled. "Finally I can show everyone how weak he is lets go Akamaru." he turned to his partner to see he was cowering. "What's wrong boy?" *bark, bark, yip* "There's something strange about him?" *bark, yip, whimper* "What do you mean 'you don't want to fight'?" Naruto who was in the ring already yelled up, "You coming down dog breath?" Kiba yelled back while trying to pry Akamaru off a bar that he was cling to with his teeth, "Yeah in a minute."
5 minute and a few failed attempts later.
Kiba had finally gotten into the ring but he didn't have Akamaru. The dog was sitting in the banister with his team. "Sorry someone didn't want to come down." he glared at his partner. "You two ready?" Zabuza asked. They both nodded. "Begin!
Kiba charged forward his nails sharpened using his family's fighting style. Naruto just dodged it lazily. After a few misses Kiba was starting to get annoyed. "Stop running and fight like a man!" he roared. Naruto just smirked annoying Kiba even more. Naruto caught Kiba's claw and then the other one. "What are you trying to prove?" Naruto asked. Kiba grunted as he tried to wrestle out of Naruto's grip. "I'm trying to prove that your just a weakling. Hinata deserves better than you. She's mine and I plan on making her mine." Bad choice of words. Everyone in the room was glaring a Kiba especially the girls. They we disgusted that he thought he of all people deserved her. Kiba suddenly had trouble breathing. Then he realized that Naruto was leaking killing intent on him. "What did you say?" Naruto growled in a demonic voice. He punched Kiba in the face. "I thought Hinata made it clear earlier. She…will…never…be…yours!" Between each word Naruto slammed a powerful fist into Kiba's chest. After Naruto calmed down he looked down at Kiba's wounded form. "Give up Kiba." Kiba just laughed despite the pain he was in. "Ha. You just don't want me to get up and beat you." Naruto hung his head at the foolishness this kid showed. "Fine then," Naruto said and leapt backwards and went through hand signs and extended his arms his hands open. Silver, red and gold chakra started to mix together forming a black orb in Naruto's opened hands. "Black fire style: Chakra Cannon!" The blast shot forward and hit Kiba dead on. You could hear Kiba's screams of pain. The blast went straight through the wall. When the smoke cleared everyone saw that Kiba was still alive, but had a lot of broken bones. "Winner: Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto smirked and climbed up to the banister. He noticed the senseis were looking at him nervously and kids questioningly. "The black Chakra is from all the other chakra mixing together," he said simply. Everyone just shrugged.
Meanwhile Hinata went down to give Kiba who had regained consciousness some healing medicine. As she left he grabbed Hinata's arm. "Hinata," he groaned, "If you go against that other sand ninja or your cousin drop out." Hinata just looked at him. "I am not the weak little girl I once was." she said and turned away. As she did Kiba tried to pull her down to kiss her but she caught herself and gave him another Juken strike to the crotch. As she left she growled, "He just never learns." Kurenai noticed this and so did Naruto both made a mental note to tell him mom. Whoa boy was he gonna be in trouble.
The next match was between Rock Lee and Gaara. The match started off with Lee attacking but getting blocked by Gaara's sand. After a little bit Lee took off weights he had on his legs. He moved all the faster and managed to get past Gaara's sand but when he tried a move called the primary lotus Gaara switched with a sand clone and avoided getting crushed. Lee started opening the Chakra gates, parts of the body that hold great amounts of Chakra. When he did he had green aura and his skin turned red. He was a blur to all who watched but he couldn't keep it up. Eventually he became exhausted especially when he used the hidden lotus an advanced form of the primary lotus. Gaara survived it and using his sand crush Lee's arm and leg. He would have been killed if Gai hadn't gotten in the way and saved him. Gaara won by default and from the looks on everyone's faces they were scared especially his sensei, brother and sister.
The next match was between Hinata and Neji. They both used the Juken style but Neji seemed to get more hits in. Soon enough Hinata was coughing up blood. Naruto growled loudly enough for everyone in the Banister to hear him. Some of the girls actually seemed jealous. With Hinata she could barely stand. She was scared but still stood up. 'why do you get back up?' asked a voice in her head it was soft and warm like a mother speaking to her child, 'why don't you just give up?' Hinata groaned as she rose up. 'I will prove myself to him. I will show him that I am not weak that I deserve his love.' The voice fell silent then she heard it laugh 'I like you kid. Now lets show him what we can do.'
The next thing everyone knew there was a flash of bright blue chakra from Hinata. When it faded no one saw a change in Hinata until she opened her eyes. Her Byakugan, instead of it's regular white was now a light blue. She took out a scroll from her pocket, bit her thumb and ran it over the scroll. In a puff of smoke she took out a silver lance. Neji didn't see this as a problem he thought she didn't have any experience with it and that the chakra and her Byakugan change was an illusion. He rushed forward intent o killing her but in a flash she hit in the stomach with a juken strike and drew back her lance which glew a slight blue and said, "Angel's Strike!" When the move made contact instead of piercing Neji's gut it slammed into his stomach sending him flying across the room. When the smoke cleared it showed he was unconscious hurt but unconscious. Everyone was staring at her. "What are you teaching her?" Kurenai asked Kushina. "I taught her to use the lance. I didn't modify her kekai genkai." Kushina responded. Naruto chuckled. "It's called the angel Byakugan." he said simply. Everyone stared at him. "Elyon told me. He said that it is an ancient version of the Byakugan that has it's own jutsu that goes with it and it's at least 5 times more powerful than the original." Everyone was shocked at the power Hinata held. Naruto, however, was worried. Knowing the Hyuuga council they were going to try to make her give up those eyes.
In the Arena…
A medical team had arrived to take Neji away but Hinata stopped them. Neji looked at her one of his eyes shut in pain. "Are…you…going…to…kill…me?" he asked. Hinata didn't reply and removed his headband. This showed a green x and markings on his forehead. It was the caged bird seal. The seal the main branch of the Hyuuga used to control the minor branch. She placed her hand on it and blue chakra flowed through Neji's forehead. Then the seal vanished. As it did Neji felt a burden lifted off his shoulders. As Hinata turned to leave Neji called out. "Hinata!" she turned to face him. "Thank you." he said a smile on his face. She smiled back.
The final match was between Dosu and Chouji. Dosu called Chouji fat which was a bad idea on his part. Chouji used the expansion jutsu to grow to a large size. Then he tucked his head, arms and legs in and rolled forward using the Human boulder Jutsu. Dosu dodged it easily and Chouji crashed into a wall. While he was stuck Dosu rolled up a long sleeve to reveal a device on his arm. He placed his arm on Chouji and flicked it. The result was a sound wave that knocked him out.
After Dosu was declared the winner the fights for the final part of the exams were shown and are as follows.
Naruto vs. Dosu
Shino vs. Kankuro
Temari vs. Shikamaru
Gaara vs. Sasuke
Hinata vs. winner of first match
Naruto eyes bugged out if he won his match he would have to fight his love. 'This stinks,' he thought. "All right does everyone remember who your fighting?" Minato asked. "Good. Now you have one month to prepare for the final part of the exam." Everyone started to head for the door when Minato stopped Naruto. "I want to talk to you about something." he said and pulled Naruto off to the side." Naruto was wondering what his dad wanted to talk about. Whatever it was he hoped it was good.
Finally I got through this. Sorry it took so long I had to think about some of the fights. Any way Kakashi comes back in the next chapter. Boy is it gonna be messy. Later!
