Arc 3 Hokage Tests

Chapter 11

Second Test

While the first and second rounds of the Chuunin exams were in progress Naruto and Kakashi were going to fight. Naruto had to see off his team before the first exam. Team 7 met with Team 8 at the entrance at the academy. Kurenai and Naruto told their respective team good luck and don't die.

"You think they'll do it," said Kurenai.

"Yeah," said Naruto. "Now I have to go and see Kaka-sensei." Naruto ran off to the tower. He hoped that he would make it back in time to see if there were going to be prelims or not. Itachi was waiting for him outside the tower. Ringo is escorting Haru and Kiyoshi around. Itachi and Naruto were to go a training ground just a little bit outside the village.

"Naruto I hope you are ready," said Itachi.

"I am." Naruto and Itachi arrived at the training ground area to see Kakashi standing in the center of the field and reading his perverted book. Itachi and Naruto twitched. Him and that damn book...He then closed it and looked straight at Naruto.

"Are you ready," asked Kakashi.

"Of course," said Naruto. Itachi was just there to make sure things didn't get too out of control. Naruto and Kakashi stared each other down. Kakashi unveiled his Sharingan eye, while Naruto got into a taijutsu stance. Itachi jump into one of the tree branches, out of harm's way.

"Remember come at me with a killer intent," said Kakashi. He said the same thing years ago, when Team 7 became Team 7.

"Hah, I know Kaka-sensei," grinned Naruto.

"Hurry up and start already," growled Itachi. "You don't need to try and intimidate each other, geez." Naruto and Kakashi glared at Itachi, not that he noticed or anything. Naruto decided that he would start off the fight.

"KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU," said Naruto, performing the appropriate hand seals. Four other Naruto appeared, Kakashi braced himself for any on coming attack. The four Naruto attacked Kakashi, and Kakashi simply destroyed him.

"Come on Naruto you can do better than this," taunted Kakashi. Naruto grinned like the fox he is.

"DOTON: DORYUUHEKI," performed Naruto. The earth cracked and a giant wall threw Kakashi in the air. Naruto simply created two more copies of himself.

"U

-ZU

-MAKI

NARUTO RENDAN." Kakashi turned into a log. Naruto was suddenly punched down on the ground. Naruto jumped up and found himself bound to a tree.

"Magen: Tubaku Satsu," whispered Kakashi. Naruto was in a bit of bind. He needed to relax his mind to break this jutsu. Naruto smirked.

"KATON: HOSENKA NO JUTSU," performed Naruto. He was on fire, literally and the genjutsu broke. He grabbed Kakashi in a headlock.

"Kami-sama Naruto! DO you ever shower," asked Kakashi.

"HEY I DO SO SHOWER," yelled Naruto. Naruto kicked Kakashi on the ground. "SENNEN GOROSHI!" Itachi began cracking up, knowing full well that attack. Shisui used it on him once.

"Ow," mumbled Kakashi.

"Pay back's a bitch Kaka-sensei," grinned Naruto. He finally got Kakashi back from when the first time he fought Kakashi as a genin and used that technique on him.

"You pass," chuckled Itachi. "Now let's go watch those Chuunin exams."

"Actually I'm hungry," said Naruto. Kakashi got up. Kakashi swears he is getting too old. Kakashi popped away leaving the oldest Uchiha and Naruto. Itachi and Naruto went to go get some ramen before heading over to see how the genin are doing. At the ramen stand was four people that Naruto really wanted to see. Gaara, Miki, Akira, and Ronin were eating some ramen.

"Hey Naruto," said Hoku, walking up to Itachi and Naruto. "Guess all nine of us are in town, hmm?"

"Yeah," said Naruto, grinning. "GAARA! MIKI! AKIRA! RONIN!" The four of them looked up with smiles on their faces, well Gaara's was a light twitch of his mouth. Naruto hugged his friends, but he got a death glare from Gaara for touching Miki. Naruto rolled his eyes at the Shukaku vessel.

"So, who do you think is going to get out of the second exam the fastest," said Ronin.

"My team of course," said Naruto.

"The Suna genin team will," said Gaara. "After all me and my siblings hold the record."

"Yeah, that's because you killed everyone in your way," snorted Naruto.

"I think it'll be Kurenai's Team 8," said Ringo. Him, Haru, Kiyoshi and Asuka joined the nine.

"Who's that," asked Akira.

"My daughter," said Naruto. Gaara, Miki, Akira, and Ronin stared at each other.

"Well, okay," grumbled Akira, confused.

"Geez, why is that a shock to everyone? I adopted her okay," said Naruto.

"Come on let's eat," said Haru. "So Miki pregnant again?" Miki twitched.

"No."

"Oh you look like it," said Haru. Miki twitched again. Oh boy here they go again.

"YOU CALLED ME FAT YOU BASTARD," yelled Miki. "YOU STUPID FISH YOU ARE THE ONE OUT OF SHAPE!"

"NO WAY I'M THE MIZUKAGE," shouted Haru. Asuka looked confused. Naruto chuckled, while the others rolled there eyes.

"That's the way they show they care for each other, Asuka-chan," said Ringo. Haru and Miki kept shouting at each other. Gaara sighed. This could go on for a while and the villagers were staring at them. Sasuke popped out of no where.

"Guys, you won't believe it," started Sasuke. "The second exams are ending now. Team 7, Team 8, Team Suna, Team Kiri, Team Taki, and Team Yuki are the only ones that made it. And guess who broke Gaara, Temari and Kankurou's record?"

"Dunno, who," asked Asuka, acting like she knew what Sasuke was talking about.

"Team 8," said Sasuke. "My daughter's team." Naruto sighed.

"What about Team 7," asked Naruto.

"Second to last," said Sasuke, with a grimace. "It seems that Negi and Satoshi started an argument amongst the group." Naruto sighed again.

"Yeah that sounds like them," said Naruto, with a shake of his head. "So are there going to be prelims?"

"Yeah, first match starts in 5 minutes," replied Sasuke. So it was decided that Itachi was left with the bill and everyone but Itachi ran off. Itachi sighed. It seemed that Hiroko and Itachi were always paying for things for the others.

"CHICHI I DEMAND THAT YOU TELL HIKARI AND CHI TO CHANGE THEIR OUTFITS NOW," yelled Tai. Itachi sighed and wondered if Tai was just overracting again. Tai dragged Hikari and Chi down to where Itachi's is and Kitsune followed with a look that said 'This is so embarrassing...I can't believe I'm related to him.'

"Tai if you recall I can't see what your sisters are wearing," replied Itachi calmly. He knew that the twins normally wore their ninja gear, but today was rare day off for Team Tai, so Itachi also knew that Hikari and Chi purposely wore outfits that completely made Tai go into protective big brother mode.

"Halter tops," relied Tai.

"Chi, Hikari change now," ordered Itachi.

"Yes, Chichi," relied the monotone combined voices of Hikari and Chi. Anyone who was close to them could tell there was amusement hidden in their voice. They loved messing with their older brother's mind. Meanwhile at the prelims for the Chuunin exams match one was about to be chosen...

HYUUGA NEGI

V.

HYUUGA CHICHI

Shikamaru who was the examiner for the third portion of the exam internally groaned at the match up. Of course the damn machine had to pick siblings for the first match. Chichi and Negi went down to the arena, while Naruto and Kurenai hoped that neither of them would hurt the other too badly.

"You sure you want to do this imouto," asked Negi.

"Yeah," replied Chichi. Both children got into the Hyuuga Jyuuken Stance. Naruto was praying to any higher being that Negi would not be too hard on Chichi. Negi was of course stronger than his younger sister.

"WINNER HYUUGA NEGI," shouted Shikamaru. Negi helped his sister back to the stands. Chichi was alright for the most part, just tired. She ran out of energy.

ABURMANE HACHI

V.

KAI RAIDEN

Hachi walked down to the arena, but Kai Raiden who was on Team Suna jumped from the stands. Kankurou who was Team Suna's sensei, slapped his head in annoyance of his impatient student. Hachi was calm, just like Shino. Raiden was impatient and hot headed. Kankurou knew the outcome of this match already. Hachi control the bugs to drain Raiden and since Raiden was so tired from traveling in the forest, he passed out.

"WINNER ABURMANE HACHI," shouted Shikamaru. Hachi was silent and went back to the stands.

SERA SEN

V.

YASHA

Sena was of Team Kiri, while Yasha was of Team Taki. Haru and Kiyoshi were watching and betting on who would win. Haru just lost some money.

"WINNER YASHA," yelled Shikamaru. Shikamaru sighed and wished he didn't have to yell.

UCHIHA SONOMI

V.

UCHIHA SATOSHI

Naruto saw Sasuke grip the handles of the rail, when he saw the match up. His second son and first daughter. Naruto patted Sasuke on the back. Satoshi and Sonomi didn't go easy on each other for sure. Sasuke was fighting an internal battle, Naruto knew. Should he be proud of his son and daughter for fighting hard? Or be worried over them injuring themselves.

"WINNER UCHIHA SATOSHI," yelled Shikamaru. Sasuke jumped down to the arena. He patted Satoshi on the head as a congratulation and picked up his daughter to bring her to Sakura to heal.

"Sonomi's is a daddy's girl," commented Ronin. Akira snorted.

"Like Kata isn't," said Akira, with a roll of the eyes.

YAMANAKA INA

V.

EMERALD

Ina was up now against a member of Team Yuki, Emerald. Emerald was the self proclaimed leader of Team Yuki and very arrogant. Luckily for Ina, she dealt with Satoshi and Negi all day long. Akira sighed and knew that Emerald was going to underestimate Ina because of her gender.

"This is going to end bad," said Akira.

"I can see that," said Naruto, grinning.

"WINNER YAMANAKA INA," shouted Shikamaru. 'She's just like Ino, never gives up.'

JOBEN

V.

MASA

Joben and Masa were both part of Team Suna, Kankurou knew the outcome of this match. Naruto bet that Masa, the only girl would win. Kankurou agreed. The others didn't. Naruto and Kankurou just made some money.

"WINNER MASA," yelled Shikamaru.

SAPPHIRE

V.

ANGEL

Sapphire is from Team Yuki, while Angel is from Team Taki. Nothing much to say about this match, which Naruto thought it was the record speed to end a match at 50 seconds. Double Knock Out.

"DOUBLE- KNOCK- OUT."

AMETHYST

V.

SENA LANG

Amethyst is on Team Yuki, while Lang is from Team Kiri. This match was a battle of wits between two calculating people, which resulted in a double knock out like the previous match.

"DOUBLE- KNOCK- OUT."

SENA LEE

V.

MAX

Naruto and the others payed special attention to this person named Lee, to see if he was interesting or not. Lee was on Team Kiri, while Max is from Team Taki. Lee was a genjutsu specialist it seemed, because Max looked completely freaked out after about two minutes.

"WINNER SENA LEE," yelled Shikamaru. "And that concludes the prelims. The third test finals will take one month from today."

"We have seven people," said Kakashi. "Good job everyone. Now, Shikamaru let them choose a number from the box."

IN ONE MONTH'S TIME THE MATCHES ARE AS FOLLOWS:

ABURMANE HACHI V. YAMANAKA INA- ROUND 1

HYUUGA NEGI V. YASHA- ROUND 2

UCHIHA SATOSHI V. SERA LEE V. MASA

Naruto collected his team and hugged them for making it to the next round. Sasuke, Neji and, Ino appeared to the team. Naruto knew what this meant. Sasuke was going to train Satoshi for the next round, like he did with Sano. Neji was going to train Neji and Ino was going to train Ina. Naruto and the three of them discussed this when the kids became genin. Naruto watched Shino appear and talk to his son, Hachi about the next month's training. Kiyoshi was going to train Yasha, while Kankurou was going to train Masa, and Haru was going to help Lee. The third round is sure going to be interesting.
