Naruto Primary Step Ch 11: End of Chunin Exams

The month and a half was over,the chunin exams were being held around lunchtime, the Mizukage Kazekage and even the Raikage came to spectate the matches of their genin,everyone training was complete all the Konoha teams completed on what they wanted to do to an extent

Naruto changed his outfit once again but this time to a much simpler outfit recommended by Jiraiya, he changed to some basic navy blue pants and navy blue konoha long sleeve now clearly showing off his necklace given to him by Tsunade but his shirt had a hood so he could cover his blond hair if needed he changed his headband to navy blue cloth and his sandals to blue since Jiraiya told Naruto this should go over his chunin jacket easier, he also wears a utility belt with scrolls in each of the slots and he wears some shinobi navy blue gloves he recovered his old green goggles and made some modification to them so there not as bulky like a headband and smaller eye holes so there not so obvious they now hang around his neck

Sasuke didn't really change his outfit too much, he only wears the black version of Naruto's outfit but his shirt was short sleeve and he had his Uchiha fan symbol on his back, and his sword strapped to his waist

Sakura probably had the biggest change she now wears a red short sleeve shirt with her white circle on her back, she took Naruto's advice and wears her headband across her forehead, and she now wears black pants with black sandals and she has a strapped first aid kit on her waist hanging in the back and her black fingerless gloves on as well

They all stood in front of the stadium ready to go in

"So this it huh" said Naruto

"Yeah this is the place where we will become chunin" said Sakura

"We have been trained by the best of the best everyone here should be easy to us so lets make this quick" said Sasuke

"Remember guys we need to show them that were capable of becoming chunin not just blow away the competition so we need to actually show what we can do" said Sakura

"Hn" grunted Sasuke

"I thought if I got rid of my orange then you;ll stop that" said Naruto

"And I thought you would've forgot" replied Sasuke

"Guys lets go" said Sakura taking both of their hands and walking forwards to the stadium

The stadium was packed you could see all kinds of people there, the Kage's were in the Kage's box with their bodyguards, Sarutobi had only Jiraiya as his bodyguard as Tsunade wanted to watch the matches with the audience, the Raikage A had his body guard Darui and C while the Mizukage Aoi had only one bodyguard Ao while the Kazekage only had one bodyguard as well the infamous Pakura

The contestants were all waiting in the field part, which held a wide earth like area, it had a few trees to the side, they added some water ponds to the other side because of the kiri ninjas competing.

"So it looks like the dead last decided to show up" said Kiba

"..."

"So you have nothing to say, you afraid?" said Kiba

"Hey Hikari Sai and Haku" said Naruto walking over to Hikari Sai and Haku

"Don't ignore me" said an annoyed Kiba

"Hello Naruto" said Sai "May I talk to you privately"

"Sure" replied Naruto noticing his serious tone

"Hey Ino" said Sakura walking over team 10

"Hey Sakura man your teams looks good but you can't beat our style" said Ino

"I don't know it looks like Shikamaru just got of bed and Choji has food on his shirt" said Sakura matter-of-fact

"Shutup"

"Alright lets have your attention, we have 21 contestants so the first round will be a team vs team match will the first two teams stay while the rest go to the waiting area" said Hayate

Sand siblings, Kumo team 2, team 8 all won, only chojuro lost in his teams match against team Gai meaning all besides him move on, team 10, team Shizune won now its Team 7's turn

"Alright will the last two teams come down" said Hayate "Now this is the match of team 7 of konoha and team 3 from kiri begin"

they all jumped back to create some distance and are now in a stare off

"Well if you won't start I will" said Sasuke beginning some handseals "Fire Style: Fire ball jutsu"

the kiri team all dodged with one going to a different direction which was a big mistake, Naruto met the one that decided to jump in the air, while Sakura and Sasuke went for the ones who went right and left respectively, Sakura knock her opponent away with a chakra enhanced punch, Sasuke simply threw his away and Naruto used Leaf Whirlwind to get some hits in and knock him down. All three knocked into each other resulting in a three way knock out

"Team 3 from kiri are all unable to fight team 7 from konoha wins" said Hayate watching the kiri team gettting carried out by medical nins

"That was too easy" said Naruto

"yeah what was that?" said Sakura

"can anyone give us a challenge" said Sasuke

"Alright with that the first round is over now the second round will begin" said Hayate "the second round is a 2 on 2 each person will pick a partner then proceed in an elimination match now pick a partner"

"Naruto" said Sasuke

"Yeah I know, sorry Sakura-chan you'll have to find someone else" said Naruto

"Its alright I already decided to have Ino as my partner" said Sakura

"Yeah and we'll beat anyone who challenges us

"Alright since it seems everyone has decided the matches are...

Neji and Lee vs Hinata and Tenten

Naruto and Sasuke vs Kiba and Shino

Temari and Kankuro vs Shikamaru and Choji

Ino and Sakura vs Hikari and Sai

Suigetsu and Mei vs Haku and Gaara

and kumo genin gets a free pass

...will the first match stay everyone else stay in the waiting area

Waiting Area

"so who do you think will win Sasuke" asked Naruto

"Most likely Neji and Lee, Hinata isn't skilled enough to take on Neji and Tenten can't beat Lee in Taijutsu" said Sasuke

"I don't know about that Sasuke" commented Sakura "your making it seem like Hinata will attack Neji and Tenten will attack Lee"

"Hn"

Stadium

"Lets us have a fair match" said Lee slipping into Goken position

"R-right"

"You got it"

"..."

"Begin" said Hayate

Lee immediately started to go for Tenten but Hinata stopped him

"Your fight is with me" said Hinata 'Byakugan' with her Byakugan active

"Yosh let us have a youthful match Hinata-chan" said Lee with his signature smile and eye wink making Hinata blush

"Your mine Neji" said Tenten taking out her bo staff

"Fine come at me" replied Neji activating his Byakugan

Lee started attacking Hinata who defended herself excellently but didn't attack back, Tenten charged Neji similarly to what Naruto did to him previously, Neji kept his distance against Tenten who managed to get some hits in thanks to her superior training in staff than Naruto was.

Kages Box

"Interesting that girl is attacking a Hyuuga in close range and not losing thanks to her range with the staff" said the Raikage

"Smart but how effective is it" commented the Mizukage

Arena

Neji used his Juken to knock Tenten's staff away from her causing her to jump back, while the same is going for Lee with Tenten. Lee decided to discreetly open the first gate and Tenten took out two scrolls from her pouch

'Gate of Opening Release'

'Rising Twin Dragons'

Lee approached Hinata at great speed for an easy Leaf Hurricane, knocking her away towards the wall, while Tenten jumped with her two scrolls now unsealed twirl around her producing multiple weapons which she grabs and throws rapidly at Neji and Lee who tried to dodge but were having a lot of difficulty until Neji used his Kaiten to protect him and Lee from Tenten's attacks, but was stopped when Hinata ran up to him and used a close range Juken strike to stop the rotation of the Kaiten

"What! How?" Neji said

"I used my chakra to disrupt our rotation thus it stopped Neji-nisan" said Hinata getting into her stance

"Hmm simple yet effective" replied Neji getting into his stance

"So Tenten it appears you have been training" said Lee

"You got that right Lee" said Tenten taking out her staff and started infusing chakra into it

Neji and Hinata engaged in a Juken taijutsu showdown with both appearing to the equal, while Lee was dominating Tenten in their Taijutsu, Kenjutsu match with Tenten struggling against Lee's superior speed but has him in power

Neji was secretly getting in some good hits without her knowing until she abruptly fell out since her chakra was blocked and with Neji able to join Lee against Tenten, Tenten knowing when she is beaten forfeited the match

"With Hinata knocked and Tenten forfeiting the match goes to Neji Hyuuga and Rock Lee" said Hayate

In the stands

"So Hinata-oneesan lost huh father" said Hinata's younger sister Hanabi

"It seems so but she didn't suspect Neji to know the Kaiten but she countered like a true Hyuuga and for that I am proud" said Hinata's father Hiashi

"Really?" asked Hanabi

"Yes she probably even surpassed you now" said Hiashi

"Hm" hummed Hanabi signaling the end of their conversation

In the Arena

"Now the next match will Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shino Aburame come down for the next match" said Hayate motioning for the genin to come down to the arena

Kages Box

"So what did you think of that last match" asked the Hokage since in his head they all did splendidly but he needs to consult with the other Kage's

"Hm the male Hyuuga did good, I would like to see more from the green jumpsuit kid" said the Kazekage

"I agree with the Kazekage, it didn't seem like that Lee kid was trying too hard, while the female Hyuuga did a good job at countering each of the guys moves while the other girl did good at keeping her distance against the Hyuuga and that Lee kid but she lacked resolve however since there is not a lot I don't know about her she could have more tricks in her sleeve" said the Mizukage

"Hm they all have the skill to be chunnin but I feel we should leave it up to their sensei's since they know how they are in a non friendly battle" said the Raikage

"Hm Alright I'll discuss it with their sensei's" said the Hokage

Arena

"Now the match between Naruto and Sasuke vs Kiba and Shino may begin" said Hayate jumping out of the way

"Let us have a good and fair match" said Naruto putting his fist and palm together and bowing in respect

"Lets Naruto" said Shino getting his bugs ready

"I hope you two can put up a better fight since me and Naruto can't be beat" said Sasuke taking his chokuto out

"Arrogant one aren't you Sasuke-teme no matter I'll wipe that smirk off your face" said Kiba with Akamaru barking in agreement and jumping off his head

Sasuke started off going after Kiba with his sword with Kiba getting help from Akamaru barking him to dodge if he couldn't see the attack coming, meanwhile Naruto and Shino were having a stare-off letting their teammates fight each other

"Hm you don't like engaging your opponent do you Shino" asked Naruto

"Hm why engage you myself when your about to lose" said Shino pointing his finger in Naruto's direction

"What!" said Naruto

Shino's bugs were discreetly crawling/flying towards Naruto behind him causing him to jump back, Naruto jumped into the trees and put on his hood to hide himself, Kiba used his Beast Human Clone Jutsu to transform Akamaru into himself and he used Four Legs Jutsu on both him an Akamaru to make them more feral to make it impossible to tell the difference between them, Sasuke tried to activate his Sharingan to tell the difference between the two but couldn't since their chakra was the same

Naruto came out of the tree and leaped towards Shino who tried to block with his bugs against Naruto but Naruto then dispersed into a bunch of leaves clouding Shino's vision, Naruto then came up behind Shino for a quick kick but Shino dispersed into bugs with Shino being some distance away from Naruto

"This could be interesting" said Naruto getting into his Goken stance

"Hm I agree" said Shino getting his hands out his pockets and bugs surrounding his hands

Sasuke was struggling against Kiba and Akamaru's enhanced speed and strength but kept his distance with his sword and fire style jutsu's but then decided to leave Kiba to Naruto

"Hey Naruto you wanna switch?" said Sasuke

"Um sure" said Naruto

Naruto and Sasuke both leaped back to face their new opponents

"Hm Sasuke-san the rookie of the year this should be interesting" said Shino

"Shino second best guy of the year only behind the best kunoichi this should be interesting" said Sasuke putting his sword back in its sheath and getting into his interceptor stance

"So we got the dead-last what made you think you could beat me if Sasuke-" said Kiba until he got punched in the face into the wall behind him

"You shouldn't have spoke now I know which is you and which is Akamaru" said Naruto fixing his gloves

Kiba and Akamaru tried to use Fang over Fang to hit Naruto but he dodged easily thanks to his superior speed he grabbed Akamaru in the middle of his attack and knocked him out

"You just knocked him out?" asked Kiba worried about his partner

"Yeah why would I intentionally hurt you or Akamaru" said Naruto

"But I've had been so mean to you" said Kiba

"Well all is forgiven now let me beat you real quick" said Naruto getting into a different stance

"Yeah right you should know I'm going to kick your ass" said Kiba with a feral smirk

"No no no I'm going to kick your ass" said Naruto with a matching smirk

Sasuke and Shino were having an even match until Sasuke started using fire style prompting Shino to forfeit the match to save his bugs, while Kiba was being outmatched in speed so he was knocked out very quickly but he didn't mind since he couldn't take Naruto let alone him and Sasuke

"With Shino forfeited and Kiba knocked out the match goes to Naruto and Sasuke" said Hayate

"Well better than that first match but still not really a challenge" said Sasuke

"Well I guess I'll have to take you down in the one on one match huh" said Naruto with a smile on his face

"Hmph see ya there" said Sasuke

Kages Box

"Hm the Uchiha and the Uzumaki did good can't wait to see more of them" said the Mizukage

"I agree the Uzumaki and Aburame showed some good tactics against each other, while the Inuzuka did good at putting pressure on the Uchiha and pretty much nullified his eyes" said the Raikage

"Hm the Uzumaki and Aburame I feel are worthy for Chunin, the Inuzuka did well against the Uchiha but not against the Uzumaki which could be a problem in the future, and the Uchiha doesn't show his abilities off so we need to see more" said the Kazekage

"I agree with most of your statements so let us continue" said Sarutobi

The next matches were shorter, Sakura and Ino tried to get Hikari and Sai together so Ino could use her Mind Disturbance Jutsu but, Sai and Hikari kept their distance against the two resulting in their lost

The Kages decided that Ino was too dependent on Sakura so she couldn't become Chunin, with the knowledge that Sakura was a medical-nin the Kages thought she did pretty good and she was ready to be chunin, Hikari didn't show much since she can't use any of her Uchiha abilities so they wanted more from her, Sai did good as well but they want to see him in more close combat situations

Haku Mei and Suigetsu were all defeated meaning only Gaara moves on to the next round. Haku did well against her opponents but she couldn't work well with Gaara even after discovering each others abilities since Gaara's not used to support in combat, Suigetsu did well against Haku since he could use his sword against her Ice he displayed good speed and power against but was still ineffective, Mei did the best out of the four with her long and close range water style attacks able to counter Haku's Ice because her's had a fire element in some of her attacks making them incompatible for Haku to use against her.

"Now the last match for the round Shikamaru and Choji against Temari and Kankuro begin!" said Hayate

Choji immediately start by charging to the sand siblings with his Human Boulder Jutsu making Temari jump out of the way but Kankuro took the hit but turns out to be his puppet taking the hit, while Shikamaru using his Shadow Possession Jutsu to try to capture Temari, Temari tries to counterattack with her Wind Scythe Jutsu but Choji protected Shikamaru with his Partial Expansion Jutsu on his Hands which now had gloves on, Shikamaru retaliated with his Shadow Possession Jutsu which caught Temari since with Choji's hand causing a bigger shadow he could reach her when she thought his range was at its limit, Kankuro tried to help her sister but was grabbed by Choji's giant hands and restricting his hands so he couldn't use his puppet

"You know me and Choji could kill you but we don't feel like it" whispered Shikamaru to Temari

"Yeah right your bluffing-" said Temari until she started feeling something up her leg, she glanced down to see that Shikamaru was starting to use his shadow strangle jutsu

"No I'm not and Choji could crush your brother but he doesn't like killing" whispered Shikamaru to Temari

"Well since the opponents can't do anything therefore this match goes to-" said Hayate

"-I forfeit" said Shikamaru interrupting Hayate " I'm running out of chakra even if I did win I wouldn't be able to fight later on which would be troublesome" releasing his jutsu

"Same here, my jutsu runs on my food supply and I'm hungry and I'm out of food so I forfeit as well" said Choji letting go of Kankuro who was hurt badly

"Alright then with Shikamaru and Choji forfeited the match and Kankuro unable to battle because of injury the match goes to Temari" said Hayate

"Alright with that last match being the last match of that round the next rounds will be one on one matches the matches are as follows...

Naruto vs Neji

Lee vs Sasuke

Hikari vs Temari

Sai vs Kumo nin 2

and the last match will be Gaara vs Kumo nin 1" said Hayate

"So Neji I guess I get to have a rematch" said Naruto nonchalantly

"It seems so but like last time I will become victorious" said Neji activating his byakugan immediately not noticing Naruto's tone

"Begin!"

Neji immediately got into his stance ready for anything but Naruto just took out his book Tales of an Utterly Gutsy Ninja and started reading it furiously

Stadium

"He is not-" said Gai who was seated next to Kakashi

"-but he is-" said Asuma who was seated next to Kurenai

"-but why Kakashi he was so pure" said Kurenai who was seated next to Asuma and Shizune

"I'm so proud of him" said Kakashi with an eye smile

"I hope this is a joke Kakashi because if you influenced my little Naruto-kun there will be consequences" said Shizune who was seated next to Kakashi and Kurenai

"No need to worry about Naruto he has a reason for doing this" said Kakashi not afraid of anything

Arena

"Aren't you going to put the book away" said Neji slowly becoming agitated

"But I'm at the good part" said Naruto in a childish tone

"Well I'm- Whoa" said Neji jumping out of the way

Naruto discreetly made a leaf clone in the trees behind Neji, he made Neji slightly lose focus so he wouldn't see the attack coming

Naruto put the book away and took out his chakra knives and equipped them, he then stood in his boxer like pose ready for Neji, Neji then charged Naruto to close his tenketsu points but Naruto was steadily dodging

'Asuma-sensei's stance isn't a wide stance it keeps everything close ready for quick strikes plus it makes a smaller target and it makes me focus on my eyes more making dodging attacks' thought Naruto

Stadium

"Good Naruto keep dodging attacks and wait for the right moment to counter attack" said Asuma

"What do you mean?" asked Kurenai

"Naruto is using my stance when I use my chakra knives, it allows the user to dodge easier and its good for attacking quick hits like the jab" said Asuma

"But why is it good that Naruto keep dodging attacks, if he can't find an opening he will eventually get tired or get hit" said Shizune

"No need to worry about that I taught Naruto something just for this" said Kakashi

Arena

Naruto was still dodging Neji's fury of attacks but just when Neji found an opening Naruto used his chakra gliding to side step Neji's attack and then gave him a strong kick to knock him away

Neji quickly recovered just when Naruto started relaxing by lowering his leg Neji sprinted to Naruto with nowhere near genin speed and approached Naruto and quickly entered the gentle fist 8 trigram stance

"2 palms, 4 palms, 8 palms what!" said Neji as Naruto was replaced with a log

"Phew almost got me there Neji but I learned how to use the Substitution Jutsu with out my hands well I hate to say it Neji unless you've upgraded that Byakugan of yours its over" said Naruto looking behind Neji's shoulder

Naruto made a leaf clone and had it come in at Neji's blind spot below his neck, Neji Dodged but another leaf clone it used Wind style: Gale Palm to knock him away and then Naruto out of nowhere Naruto knocks Neji up in the air while he uses his new jutsu Earth Style: Dark Swamp in the area right below him

Flashback

"But why do I need to learn earth style jutsu I already have 3 affinities and I already learned fire jutsus from Sasuke" said Naruto

"Shut up kid just focus" said Jiraiya not feeling like explaining his true reasoning "Having diversities and techniques unknown to the enemy is essential" 'And I think you are the only one I can pass my will of fire to'

"Alright fine lets get started!" said Naruto

"Heh that was quick alright first you need to..."

Flashback End

Neji fell right into the mud prompting him to forfeit since he couldn't move

Blah Blah Blah I'm getting tired of these fights Sasuke and Gaara wins, Temari and Hikari was a double knockout, Sai won but forfeited leaving no real winner of his match

Naruto Sasuke and Gaara had a battle royale leaving Sasuke the winner but Naruto took out Gaara but was too weak to defeat Sasuke

Next Day at Kage Tower

"So your interested in Haku" asked Sarutobi

"Yes I hear that she was with Zabuza as his apprentice but he was killed and your shinobi took her in I'm offering her a place within my village" said the Mizukage

"Well what would the leaf get in exchange" said the third Hokage

"Well I'm prepared to offer an alliance and we will give you some intel on the Akatsuki" said Aoi

"Hm... we already have a reliable source on the Akatsuki" said Sarutobi

"But do you know who the leader is?" said Aoi making Sarutobi and his bodyguard Jiraiya raise their eyebrows showing their intrigued

"We should take her up on her offer, Itachi never encountered the leader and doesn't know all of the members abilities" whispered Jiraiya to Sarutobi

Next Day

Village Gate

"So your leaving Haku" said Naruto

"Yeah it was nice being around you guys for the little while I was here" said Haku

"Hn, I really want that rematch" said Sasuke

"Yes I look forward to it" said Haku

"Man we should of did some girl stuff" said Sakura

"Yeah I actually like shopping here maybe we can do some stuff whenever I visit here" said Haku

"Well good luck in Kiri Haku, and find some precious people for you to protect" said Naruto putting his hand out

"Yes I will and you take care of yours" said Haku taking Naruto hands for a good handshake

With Itachi and Sasuke

"Hey otouto I have something to offer you" said Itachi wearing his Anbu outfit without the mask

"What is it?" asked Sasuke

"Well I've requested that you join Anbu for awhile" said Itachi

"the Anbu Black Ops but I'm still a genin" said Sasuke

"Well I can make an exception for you if you don't become chunin" said Itachi "besides without Anbu I wouldn't have become this strong now"

"Alright if I become chunin and think it over a little I'll join you in Anbu" said Sasuke

Next Day

Kage Tower

The third Hokage was currently seated in his office with Jiraiya by his side, the room was filled with genin and jonin

"Alright you 6 have been promoted to chunin for Konoha" said the third hokage

"Why did us six become chunin and not the others?" asked Neji

"All of the genin had advanced skills for rookies, but some of their attitudes prohibited them from being promoted" said Jiraiya

"So as of today Shino Aburame, Sakura Haruno, Neji Hyuuga, Shikamaru Naru, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki you are all officially chunin" said Sarutobi laying out the flak jackets for them on his desk"You all showed skilled ready for chunin and I hope you serve Konoha to best of your abilities"

"Right!" the six said in unison

"Alright first mission is to gather everyone outside the tower for an announcement" said Hiruzen

"Right!"

Later at Hokage Tower

"Hello people of Konoha, I am pleased to be your Hokage after so many years but I feel like I am getting to old for the job" said Hiruzen causing whispering amongst the crowd "So I have chosen my temporary successor until an appropriate successor is ready come here Jiraiya"

"I Jiraiya Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku, strongest of the three Sannin will look after this village for as long as I can" said Jiraiya surprisingly causing a lot of cheering from men since the pervert can write his books in peace and for women to stop being peeked on at the bath houses

With Naruto and Jiraiya

"So Naruto you know now I won't be able to train you as much as I would like, over the month we worked on your sealing abilities and I would like to say you are a master at it now and remember continue your research on THOSE jutsus alright" said Jiraiya

"Alright Ojisan I will I think I already them complete I just need some practice in them" said Naruto

"Excellent with that you can become Hokage in no time" said Jiraiya with a proud look on his face

"You know I don't want to become Hokage at least not now" said Naruto

"Yeah yeah you say that because you don't want people degrading your dream because your so young" said Jiraiya

"How did you know that" asked Naruto

"No worries I won't tell anyone besides don't you have somewhere to be" said Jiraiya putting his hand on top of Naruto's head

"Right Kakashi-sensei called for a meeting" said Naruto running off "see ya Ojisan"

"Did you hear that Kakashi?" asked Jiraiya

"Yeah so the kid still wants to be Hokage and he's near completed with THOSE jutsus huh" said Kakashi

"Yeah so I want you to make him at least your level of strength in a few years alright possibly Kage level" said Jiraiya

"Why Kage level wouldn't jonin be fine" said Kakashi

"Well I'm only temporary Hokage so unless some bright young ones rise quickly you will be left to be Hokage" said Jiraiya knowing Kakashi doesn't want to be Hokage

"I-I'll get right on it Jiraiya-sama" said Kakashi shunshing away

Training ground 3

"Well since Itachi has made a spot in Anbu for Sasuke here our team will have to be disbanded for awhile" said Kakashi

"Then what do we do sensei?" asked Sakura

"Well Sasuke will get trained by Itachi and go on Anbu missions, and you said you want to work in the hospital and get trained by Tsunade-sama as well" said Kakashi

"What about me sensei?" asked Naruto

"I'm going to make you my apprentice until Jiraiya-sama is available to train you" said Kakashi

"Alright until we can all be Team 7 together again we will all try our best to get stronger alright, Promise?" said Naruto

"Promise!" said Sasuke and Sakura

An Anbu appears out of nowhere bringing a message

"Naruto Uzumaki you are to report to the Hokage for a mission" said Anbu

"Alright I'll be right there" said Naruto making the Anbu leave "Wow I guess chunin means I take more missions, well see ya later"

"Naruto be careful alright, remember to be bring all your tools, make sure you do your best, make sure to come visit me when you come back, and-" said Sakura

"-Sakura relax no need to worry alright I'll catch you probably in a few days" said Naruto putting something in Sakura's hand the shunshining off

Hokages Office

"I all have news to tell you during the chunin exam Sound has declared on us" said Jiraiya with his sensei by his side

"What! Why weren't we informed of this" asked Neji

"Because many years ago the original 5 Kage made rules of war and one of the rules was to not include genin shinobi in war which you all were just a few days ago" said Jiraiya " We have near all jonin and chunin out on missions or are preparing for some so we need to send a fresh chunin squad"

"I see what is the mission Hokage-sama" asked Shikamaru

"I'm not Hokage I'm just filling in until a replacement comes in" said Jiraiya looking at Naruto when he said that "So Naruto Uzumaki Neji Hyuuga Shikamaru Nara and Shino Aburame you will go out to get some info in the east land of fire there are many instances of lightning around there but it hasn't rained in months so you are to discover the problem and solve it whatever it is also if you find any info on the Sound bring that back as well"

"Yes Jiraiya-sama" said the four in unison

"Oh you also have the privilege to name your team you used to go by numbers or by your sensei's name so if you have a team name tell us whenever possible"

"How about the A-team since you know were the best" said Naruto

"Whatever kid, this mission should take you a few days so pack accordingly" said Jiraiya

"Right!" they said


Well school is beginning so slower updates from now on

longest chapter yet for me

I'll add the Naruto vs Sasuke vs Gaara fight later when I have time and maybe some of the other fights

Oh if your thinking Naruto and others are getting too strong no worries that won't happen all the time

after the next chapter it will probably be a time skip so just a heads up
