Rivals

Hey everybody. Well I was pretty much just being lazy and relaxing all weekend, so I couldn't be bothered to even place a finger on the keyboard. But here I am with a new chapter of Naruto NG

So let's begin.


After some travelling, Team 7 had eventually arrived at their destination. They were all currently walking through the streets of a huge village, where people of all shapes and sizes were roaming the streets.

The five genin of Team 7 were each looking around at the scenery around them. There were plenty of shops selling all kinds of different things.

Genkai's eyes were wide with excitement as he looked around the village with his team mates. "Wow. This place is huge. I wasn't expecting so many people to come to the chunin exams."

Naruto turned to look at the boy who had just talked. "Well Genkai, the chunin exam is a very big event. Genin from loads of other shinobi countries are participating as well. That means that people will want to see how strong other village's ninja are."

As the six ninja continued to walk through the busy streets, they eventually found themselves standing outside a huge building painted completely white. The building was surrounded by a metal fence with a doorway. There was a short path from the doorway to a large door, which seemed like the only entrance.

Naruto stopped walking and stood in the doorway. He looked at his students and smiled. "Aright guys, here we are. This is were you journey to becoming a chunin will begin. I wish you luck and I hope that each of you try your best to succeed."

The five genin all looked at their sensei confused. Misaki asked the question they were each thinking. "Wait, your not coming with us sensei."

Naruto chuckled lightly, at hearing his students response. "No. From here on out it's all about you guys. I want you all to go out there and show everyone what Team 7 can do."

Each genin nodded their head, and smiled at their sensei. Genkai jumped up and pointed a thumb to his chest. "Don't worry sensei I'm going to make sure we all become chunin. We'll be back before you know it."

Satake smiled and shook his head slowly. "Yeah and I'll make sure I look after him."

All shinobi nodded their heads at each other. Naruto stepped to the side to allow his students to pass through the doorway. Each genin began to walk through the doorway and onto the short pathway.

Genkai and Satake were in front of their team mates slightly, as they approached the doors. The two boys looked over at each other, and nodded their heads smiling.

Slowly they began to open the doors. They opened the doors until they were almost fully open. All of the genin's eyes widened at the sight that they saw.

They were now stood in a huge room, with various tables and chairs, but the thing that really surprised them was the amount of other shinobi in the room.

Everywhere they looked, all the genin saw were other genin, either from the same village as them or from a different village. There were genin of all shapes and sizes.

As the five genin of Team 7 moved a bit further into the room, the door began to close behind them. Although it seemed as though the door had shut all by itself, the Team 7 members didn't care. They were far too busy observing the other genin.

They were each in their own little worlds, until they heard the calling of their names.

"What are you losers doing here. I never knew they let just anyone become chunin." Each of them turned to face in the direction the voice was coming from.

Walking towards them was a team of leaf genin that they all recognised. Genkai looked at each of his former classmates, in an attempt to remember them.

'Senkou Harasha' He looked at a boy with silver hair that had bangs over his forehead, and grey eyes. He was wearing a sleeveless white shirt and a pair of black shorts. He had bandages from his knees down. 'He is definitely the laziest guy in the world. He's far too relaxed. He really gets on my nerves.'

'Ruizukio Urakatai' He then turned to a boy with medium length, brown hair and eyes of the same colour. He was wearing a black shirt and trousers. The shirt was covered by a green jacket, similar to a flak jacket. The only part of the shirt revealed were the sleeves. One was long and one was short. He also wore a short white scarf around his neck with his forehead protector attached. 'This guys got as much as a crush on Misaki as Tetsu does. He's a total freak if you ask me.

'Hoketsu Shurikio' He was now facing a boy with long black hair, going past his shoulders. His eyes were light green and he wore black trousers, and a sleeveless dark blue shirt. 'Talk about a total jerk. He thinks he's all that and acts all calm and cool all the time.'

'Shikata Nara' Next he was looking at a girl who was wearing a violet coloured dress with a leaf pattern on it. She wore her headband on her left arm. Her eyes were light blue. 'Okay, forget about what I said about Senkou. She is definitely number one. She's so lazy she stays asleep half of the time.'

'Misashi Kokora' This girl had pink markings on her face. She had short red hair, red eyes and her headband was on her forehead. She was wearing grey pants with a red shirt. 'This girl is completely hyper. She has almost as much energy as me.'

Satake smiled and shook his head at the boy who had spoken. "I wouldn't underestimate us Hoketsu. If you keep it up you might just be left behind."

Hoketsu grunted at the remark, but couldn't say anything as suddenly Misashi shoved past him and began to shout at Satake. "Oh yeah, well you don't even stand a chance here. We'll destroy you guys!"

Genkai began to laugh at Misashi's comment. "Don't be so sure. Me and my team, will definitely make sure you guys are eating our dust!"

Just as Misashi was about to respond to Genkai's response, she was interrupted by a loud yawn. Shikata had just yawned very loudly and hushed the two loud mouths. "Could you two keep it down. Can't you see I'm trying to sleep."

Ruizukio suddenly came rushing through his team mates, trying to get to his one and only target. Misaki. "Misaki my love. Here I am."

Before he even had a chance to get close to Misaki, Ruizukio was suddenly intercepted by Tetsu. "Back off, loser. She's all mine." Both Tetsu and his rival stared into each others eyes, ready to destroy each other.

"Why am I not surprised that it's you guys making all the noise." A boy the same age as the other leaf genin was walking towards them. His hair was medium-length and black, made into dreads, while his eyes were blue. He wore a green blouse with pockets out front. The blouse had a black fist surrounded by whirlpools, on both the sleeves and on the back. He also wore grey pants and had his headband on his forehead

Both the two teams that were already there turned over to face the boy, and his team who were walking with him. Genkai looked at each of them and just like before began to try and remember them from the academy.

'Tsuyoki Kettobasu.' His eyes set on the boy who had spoken. 'If you ask me, this guy needs to get his ego put down a bit. He thinks that most people are beneath him.'

'Aki Senju.' This girl had long, black hair, clipped in a high ponytail that allowed a single strand to fall on the right side of her face. She had brown eyes and carried her leaf headband on her forehead. Her attire consisted of a black t-shirt and a brown, unbuttoned vest on top, as well as baggy, brown pants with lots of pockets. 'She's not as annoying as most of the people here, but she's always so shy. And apparently she is a member of the great senju clan.'

'Hikkaku Hyuuga.'" Genkai was now facing a boy with short, black hair that formed a peak over his face, he had white eyes and had his forehead protector on his forehead. His clothes consisted of a blue, Chinese outfit with wide sleeves and black pants underneath. 'Now he's a real freak. He's a total robot. It's like he was programmed to be super polite.'

'Hana Egoyomi.' Next, Genkai was facing a girl who had medium-length, blonde hair, clipped in a pigtail on the right top of her head, making the pigtail tilt slightly to the side. Her eyes were hazel, while her attire consisted of a green top, decorated with yellow flower pattern. The shirt had wide sleeves, which hid her right hand entirely, while the left sleeve was torn off, leaving that arm completely bare. Two belts went across her extremely well-developed chest, having two katana strapped to them on the back. Her shorts were light-brown cargo, this time with the right trouser leg ripped off, leaving her leg uncovered Lastly, she wore her headband as a belt with the symbol of the Leaf falling on her left hip. 'Tetsu may perv on Misaki, but he goes absolutely crazy around this girl. Almost every guy back in the academy was in love with her..'

'Ato Fuushagoya.' The last member of this team had short, spiky, brown hair and his right eye was green, whilst the left one was white with a scar going vertically through it. He also had a small, cross-like scar on his right cheek and a couple of broken, and missing teeth. A very small part of his left ear was bitten off. His attire is made of a white t-shirt with light-blue stripes going down its sides and sleeves, while a black kanji for 'blade' decorates the back. He was wearing light-brown, cargo pants and had his entire, right arm wrapped in bandages. On the spots where his legs were uncovered, Genkai could see occasional scars as well. Like most of his teammates, his hitae-ate is located on his forehead. 'This guy is a kinda scary if you ask me. He looks pretty disgusting, and not a lot of people liked talking to him, cause of that.'

Immediately Hana charged up to each member of the other two leaf genin teams, and began to hug them. "Hey guys what's up. I haven't seen you guys in ages. Oh this is so great. All us rookies are back together."

Ato also walked up to them. "Yeah, Hana-chans right. Doesn't it feel ultimately great."

Hoketsu crossed his arms, then looked at every single other leaf genin around him. "Well it looks like everyone's here. Maybe these chunin exams might be fun after all."

Aki then walked forward slightly, and looked downwards as she began to talk in a low whisper so that only those around her could hear. "Y-you know, m-maybe we should keep the noise down guys."

"You should listen to her. I could hear you losers from a mile away." The sudden voice that caused all the rookies to stop and stare, came from a boy one year older than them. He was walking with the rest of his team.

Misaki's eyes widened slightly at who the person was. She quickly looked downwards trying to hide her face. The boy noticed this but didn't even acknowledge her.

Genkai looked at the older boy and raised an eyebrow. "And who the heck are you, thinking you can tell us what to do." Genkai walked up to the boy and stared at him.

Before there was any answer from the older boys mouth, another voice came from one of his team mates. This one was a boy with dark blue hair. "Come on Tenka at least try and be kind." Tenka merely grunted at this comment. "My name is Haru by the way. This is Naruka." He pointed to the black haired girl. "This is Shiro." He pointed to the blonde boy. "This girl is Aiko." He then pointed to the last girl in the group. "And lastly is Tenka." He then looked over to the boy who had already talked to the other genin. He looked over to Misaki and squinted. "But I'm sure you already knew that."

Misaki lifted her head to look at Haru. "It's nice to meet you Haru." Misaki's stare then shifted towards Tenka. "Hey. Big bro."

Every single member of team 7 stared at Misaki in pure shock. None of them could believe their ears, especially not Genkai. "So this jerk is your brother. Well why dont' you show your sister a little respect and at least sasy hi." Genkai almost shouted at Tenka.

Tenka simply stared at Genkai coldly, and shook his head. "Strange. How can someone as lame as you, have such a big mouth? Any way, I have no reason to say hi. I am here for one reason and one reason only. To become a chunin."

"Genkai's hand turned into a tightly clenched fist. "Why you stinking..." Before Genkai could even say another word, there was a loud voice booming through the room. "Welcome."

The sight of every single genin in the room turned towards a huge screen on the side of the room opposite the entrance. There was no more sound other than that of the voice. Appearing on the screen, was the face of Kakashi Hatake.

"Welcome all genin. This is the beginning of your journey to becoming a chunin. So, to make this speech short and sweet. Let the chunin exams...

BEGIN!"

At that instant the entire floor beneath the genin collapsed, causing everyone and everything to fall.
