I am sooooooo late. But I do have a good reason… Not really. Any who, enjoy. My next thing written will be either: a) The Air Gear one I've been promising. B) A Harry Potter time travel fic.
Chapter 11: The Chuunin Exams: A new life.
I looked around. It seemed fine… As if nothing had happened at all. "Come on." I heard Naruto say. "We need to talk to the Hokage".
"Yep." I answered in return. "Let's go".
We entered the Hokage's office, zipping right pass the ANBU guards. As soon as we entered, we had to dodge Kunai going straight for our chest. Taking this as a declaration of war, Naruto and I used an attack we'd been working on. "Inryokuken!" We shouted. I pushed Chakra into his hand, helping him form a Rasengan from my Gravity Chakra. All he did was lay it out in front and everything in the office flew towards it. "Stop!" A woman's voice told us. Naruto instantly stopped the chakra control, and the chakra just flew out the side, breaking a couple of windows.
"I didn't expect you back so soon" The woman told us.
"Yeah, well, the reason we left was so he could pass the Chuunin exam. What's the point of training if he's just gonna be late for it anyways".
"Yeah, well you have to get to the Village Hidden in the Sand in the next 2 days or else he won't get in." Tsunade replied.
"Naruto, I bet I can beat ya' there!" I told him.
"Oh no you don't!" He replied.
In a few seconds we left a very bewildered Tsunade. What's up with them? She wondered.
In 1 and a half days, we stood at the village hidden in the sand, me and Naruto puffed out. "That was cheap," he told me. "Summoning the power of Juubi to help you win… Cheap!" He then collapsed on the ground.
"Ya' know," I told him, "Dakota-sensei should be here, waiting for me to come. And who knows what she's wearing in this kind of weather." That did the trick with him. Whether he ran off to go tell her off for wearing something revealing, or to catch some of the action himself, I didn't know. What I do know is that when I found him again, he was rubbing a red mark on his cheek.
"95..." I told myself, walking off…
The next day, I stood at the doors of the Chuunin Exam room… Well, the room for the first exam. I stood waiting inside.
Flashback
"The first part of the exam will be the written one. And as you know, it's all about gathering information. Now, I think it's time we went into History for the 3 mainly known Doujutsu in the Hidden Leaf Village," Naruto told me.
"The first is the Byakugan. This eye is all about Taijutsu, and seeing through their opponents to get the better view of things."
"The second is the Sharingan. This helps with the users Genjutsu, also being able to see through an opponent's attacks and at the same time copying them."
"The third is the Medontine. A Ninjutsu based eye that works with Chakra, allowing the user to pick up all chakra signals, and even absorb other chakra to add to its restores. With this going, after a good enough battle, a Genin could end up with the same amount of Chakra as a Jounin."
"So, how do we use this for our advantage? The Byakugan can see through things to their advantage, so just see what they want."
"The Sharingan can see through an opponent's mind, since that is linked with their Justus's, so they can also see their thoughts so they know what they're thinking."
"And finally, the Medontine. You can pick up Chakra signals. If my theory is correct, if you know what each signal means, you can practically see through written documents. That's how you'll get through the First stage of the exam…"
End Flashback
I looked around, focusing my Chakra. I turned my eyes on, and looked up, as if thinking to myself. I could see Chakra moving up. The Chakra in lead. Reading its pattern, I answered up to 5 questions, before everyone was told to look at the board. After a few minutes, 5 teams left the place, and the rest of us passed the first exam.
I stood in place, waiting for whomever to come. "All right you maggots! Listen up!" I turned. Some woman stood in front of the pack of us. "You will each go grab a scroll, go to your gate, and follow orders after that! Now hurry, you shoulda been sent out 2 hours ago!" I walked up to the scroll bearers, got my scroll, and headed out. Everyone was confused to see me by myself; however they all made sure they know where I was going. Using a bit of Genjutsu, I was able to hide my scroll. In 10 minutes, I reached my gate. 5 minutes after that, we were released
Flashback
"The second stage is a tracking mission," Naruto told me. "For each village the stage is different. This year the stage is the Hidden Sand Village.
"So, what's the terrain? The old Hidden Sand Village place, which was destroyed by a sandstorm 7 years ago.
"So, know that I've told you about that, listen up. The best way to win in a desert field is to catch your opponent off-guard. So, I'm going to teach you this Genjutsu…
End Flashback
I knew people would be coming, so I stayed where I was. Once I was sure people were with me, I ran off into the desert, waiting 'till we got close enough to the tower, yet had gotten enough of a workout. By now several teams were following me. Natural Attack Jutsu. Next thing I knew, all my followers believed that they were being hit by a sandstorm. Once they realised they're scrolls weren't going anywhere, I would be long gone with a Heaven Scroll.
I waited at the Chuunin tower for 4 days. On the last day, I found myself being called. The kazekage went through the rules, and finally we took a start. I felt a pang of guilt as I noticed Tyson and Michael weren't here. I must have missed their graduation… I can't believe it! I said to myself. I watched as many Genin fought, many of them sighing as they revealed Jutsu they didn't want to reveal. I sighed as my turn came up. Looking up I saw a Teenage girl, she wore some battle pants and a shirt that wouldn't get in her way. She wore shuriken holsters on her left leg and wore a Kunai pouch on her right hip. All in all, she looked about ready to fight. Not like one of those stereotypical females who would cry if you broke their nails. "Go!" I heard the instructor shout. In a second, I was in the air, having avoided some Kunai thrown at me. I appeared behind her and muttered into her ear just loud enough for her to hear, "Chakra Whirlwind" I gave a good kick to under her legs, followed up with two strikes to her side. She hobbled over, defenceless. I stood away, and waited for the announcement. "Michael Furuna wins…!" Many were muttering to themselves, worried they were gonna have to face me.
I waited a few more minutes as who we were going to face was announced. I was very bored at this point and took a nap.
—1 Month Later—
I stood at the Chuunin Arena. I waited about an hour before we started. I waited until I was called; the third person. I easily beat my opponent with use of my Forging Flame ninjutsu, surprise was his enemy. I waited and confronted my next opponent. I yawned while taking him out with my Bloody Light Jutsu which I had discovered over my trip with Naruto. I eventually had to stop, as all his screaming identified he was starting to be traumatized. The last fight was the hardest. It was against Hanabi; eager to prove she had become better than me. I hit her with the Natural Attack Jutsu, followed by senbon thrown at pressure points, and in the end drawing out the fight to sap her chakra away to my victory. This is where it all went wrong…
"Attack!" I heard a ninja yell. "Protect the Kaze and Hokages!" I turned around. We were indeed under attack. I quickly sidestepped away from a sound ninja. "Forging Flame Jutsu!" I summoned a sword which I aimed a strike with. The man easily dodged and aimed a kick at me. I jumped out the way and released my Medontine again. I also made some seals to summon my tails and ears. Surprised by my new strength and speed, I easily cut the man down. I jumped up and reached the floor under the kage's floor. There I found Naruto and Dakota fighting some ninja. And as it happened, it was Obito and Hizashi. Running, I found myself face-to-face with a new stranger. "Hello Michael" he said. "How do you know my name?!" I asked. "Why, you don't know your own Godfather?" I gasped.
Flashback
It was 3 in the morning. I decided to look at the scroll again.
July 23rd
It turns out I have an alive Godfather! His name is James; Naruto-sensei told me all about him. Apparently he escaped with the few surviving Furuna after the Kyuubi attack. Other than that there's nothing to talk about… Ehehehehehe
End Flashback
"Medontine!" He shouted. I bit m thumb and worked on my seals. "Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu!" I saw Drent appear next to me. "Drent, it seems we've got a fight with a clansman of mine." Drent smiled. "This'll be interesting." After a few moments we instantly jumped to one side. "Sword Technique: Flaming Art!" We shouted. We threw our swords at him, mine having become a scrap of melted metal as it hit. We then jumped at him, preparing seals. "Fire Style: Double wolf whirlwind!" We shouted, using a combined attack as we aimed our strikes at him. He yawned and used a summoning Jutsu. Instead of hitting James, our attack hit what seemed to be a Giant Lizard. James jumped on the toad and pulled out a blade. At this point I figured I needed Juubi. In a matter of seconds I felt his grey demonic chakra circle my state of being. Two of my fur tails disappeared to be replaced by long grey ones made of chakra. My hands were replaced with long claws; talons if you will. My eyes had turned a nice gentle yellow to a murky teal, my original eye colour, and my features turned more wolfish. If I had fur, people would probably be calling me a Werewolf. Drent and I met each other and then jumped at him.
"Gravity Compression Jutsu!" I shouted, seeing Drent perform something similar. The man quickly dodged and aimed a strike a Drent. I instantly jumped towards Drent and, pulling out a Kunai, Struck his abdomen. He fell onto the lizard. "Good. Very good." He said. Looking up, he threw two blades at me. "These are the Crescent Moon Blades." He told me. "They are made out of Ice and are so cold they can withstand any heat. Consider it a very late Birthday Present." He smiled and ran off. I saw Naruto jump to me. "C'mon," he said simply, "we got to protect Lord Hokage". Nodding, I jumped up with him, Drent following behind. Once there, I found myself face to face with three shinobi. Hanabi, Hizashi (who seemed to have beaten Dakota) and Obito (who had escaped from Naruto). I turned to Hanabi. "How could you..?" I asked her. Obito answered. "She's been taking lessons with us; she is now at Chuunin level. She has decided to join us." Hanabi smirked at this. "The one you fought was a false imitation." I turned to Drent. "Drent, take out Obito, the one using the Sharingan. I want to take out Hanabi." As I said this Naruto had already jumped at Hizashi. Drent nodded, and turned to fight. Tsunade and Gaara had already evacuated the building ready to help the villagers where there was less Ninja. I felt Juubis chakra disappear, along with all my wolfish features
Hanabi turned at me, smirking. "Your match with me last time was Tied, I wanna recount!"
I looked at the Hyuuga. This was the second time that I was to be found fighting her in the Chuunin exams.
"Be careful!" I shouted to her. "You aren't the only one who has spent the last 3 years training!"
Slowly I focused my chakra. My 4 tails popped out from behind me, and my grey wolf ears appeared on my head. I started a chant.
"Life of the dark, reveal to me your power. Show me the force that shields me, yet draws power from the golden pupils! Let darkness wash away the hate, and let gravity meet its power! Juuryoku Medontine!"
My eyes went a dull purple. I jumped at Hanabi and we instantly engaged in a Taijutsu battle. Each of us using the advantage of our Doujutsu to win. We countered each other, pulled dirty tricks, and even swapped styles in the middle of combat to throw the other off. It started as I aimed a right hook at her face; she ducked and aimed a chakra tap at a nerve. I stole the chakra away before pivoting and doing a roundhouse kick. She jumped out of the way and threw some Kunai; small threads pulled her to him in which she punched me. I quickly pulled out a Kunai and watched her fall into it. As soon as she hit she jumped back and pulled the Kunai out. I jumped at her, my arms in the usual cross formation, and aimed a kick at her. She dodged and threw the Kunai at me. Jumping to the side I changed into the Arashi style, one that made me rain blows at her from the air. After that it was almost like watching a Kickboxing match; except one of us only attacked in the air.
Then came a Genjutsu battle. We each tried to use our own Genjutsu to either drive the other insane or paralyse them. Giving up, we finally went into a Ninjutsu battle.
We simply traded many of our already known Ninjutsu before I decided to activate the full power of the Juuryoku Medontine and finish it. I put my hand out and watched as the Rasengan formed, filled with gravity Chakra. I then waited as she frantically threw strikes at me. Each strike took her chakra and makes it elemental, putting it into the Rasengan. At the end of it, I lifted my hand and she ran straight into it. She was hit by one of the most devastating Jutsu and fell to the ground. I felt her pulse, only to find her dead. I sighed and looked around. The fighting had ceased. It was over…
I waited for Tsunade and Gaara to arrive. When they did they held up a short list. They only called out two names. The person who had failed in their second fight and I. I gladly took the vest given to me and put it on. I smiled and walked out of the Sand village with Dakota and Naruto; we were all ready to celebrate once we were back in the Hidden Leaf.
So, what do you think? I know it was late, so don't badger me about it. Anyway, if you like Air Gear or Harry Potter don't forget to read my new stories. Also; the next part of this story will come in a sequel. For now, though, I'll think I read another story…
