XII

It was the end of the first day of the exams and team seven had no luck in finding another scroll that they needed. However they did make it to the tower but they observed the Suna team Harry had warned them about.

(Flashback jutsu)

Team seven sprinted through the trees and by sheer coincidence they found three Ame-nins against a team from Suna. "Guys, the red heads chakra levels are berserk...He's like me except weaker." Naruto whispered. Sasuke stared at Naruto with hunger and apprehension in his eyes.

"If you're nine...what's he?" Asked Sasuke nervously.

"I don't know...wait." Naruto said as he saw the boy place the ninja in a coffin of sand and with a crush of his hand destroyed their bodies.

"He's one." Naruto commented and Sasuke nodded.

Meanwhile Sakura looked confused at the apprehension on her Sasuke-kuns face.

(Flashback jutsu kai)

"We need a scroll and fast...We've spent almost four days in this kami forsaken forest and what do we have to show for it?" Growled Sakura frustrated.

"Hmm crapped pants, cuts and grazes and the knowledge we have a raging sociopathic demon container running around oh and Sasuke has some nerves of steel." Naruto commented referring to the standoff against Orochimaru.

"And that Harry-sensei will abandon his post to come and save us." Commented Sasuke, causing weak grins from everyone, Naruto's stomach rumbled and they decided to open up their ration packs.

After a quick meal they set off. "Ninja art: DECAPITATING AIRWVES!" The trees that team seven landed in suddenly detonated into fragments as solid blades of wind shredded them. Sasuke landed catlike on the floor, Sakura landed for legged whilst Naruto landed crouched on the balls of his toes with three kunai in between his knuckles.

"Who are you three?" Sakura blurted out causing sighs of irritation and chuckles of delirium.

"We are but three ninja from Otogakure in rice country I'm Zaku, that's Dosu and that in Kin." Zaku said introducing himself his palms still smoking from the decapitating airwaves. Naruto smirked Seems Zaku sent that pleasant jutsu at us. Dosu is the one who has the weird arm device that brained Kabuto-san earlier.

Dosu glared at Zaku and charged forward his arm cocked back straight at Sakura. "Fire style: Great fireball!" Sasuke shouted exhaling a larger than normal fireball at Dosu who jumped backwards dropping the scroll that Naruto's team needed.

"Combination jutsu: Wind style: Great tearing beast palm!" Naruto shouted exhaling a massive breath of wind whilst streamlining wind chakra around his hand the combination sounded like a lion snarling as the wind ripped the earth in front of them apart and chucked the solid lumps of earth at the sound ninja.

However the wind did more than sabotage the area it ripped moderately long scars in the sound teams exposed flesh and thankfully none of the gashes were near anywhere vital.

Sakura during all of this scrambled for the scroll and shook like a leaf in the wind. "Sakura, move...We need to get out of here and to the tower." Sakura nodded frantically and together the three sped towards the tower.

How can I impress Sasuke-kun but I can't even keep up with Naruto-baka...besides how can he be so strong for being the dead last. She thought as they headed towards the tower. She was being paid by the council to inform them in Naruto was getting more powerful than Sasuke-kun and from what she had seen he was miles ahead of the Uchiha.

Meanwhile Sasuke turned to Naruto his voice filled with angst and anger. "Naruto are you lucky or are you just really stupid? I mean YOU'RE NEVER meant to COMBINE jutsu's without KNOWING what you want to achieve...Remember what Harry-sensei taught us about combination jutsus even of the same element could be dangerous."

Naruto nodded as Sasuke's lecture washed over him. "Sasuke, I was more concerned about getting us out of that confrontation alive...They worked for Orochimaru and as for the combination mishaps I know what you're getting at. I'm not a lecture learner. I'm practical through and through, I understand the risks but I can only truly understand them if I experience them. Everyone calls me baka and teme based on book smarts not street smarts. Sasuke let me ask you a question who would you rather have in a fight someone who has a tonne of knowledge but no jutsu or someone who doesn't have the knowledge but is willing to use dangerous and risky art to get us out alive?"

Sasuke paused in mid leap. Naruto had made some valid points. Sasuke knew would rather place his life in Naruto's unpredictable but capable hands rather than Sakura's at the moment. "The latter Naruto...I know it's not my place to lecture you but you needed to know the risks. Besides despite being a baka you have your uses and I grudgingly respect you for now."

With that the two friends and rivals carried on heading towards the tower. Meanwhile in the Hokage tower the Hokage was being briefed by ANBURRT#1 (ANBU Rapid Response Team 1) "You mean one of my chunin and tokubetsu jonin abandoned their posts and intervened with a genin teams test! Get them hear now!" Growled Sarutobi leaking his KI reminding the ANBU that he was still known as the 'Kami no Shinobi'.

One loud crack resonated throughout the room and Harry with Anko in tow appeared in the room and as one they knelt before the diminutive hokage. "You requested us Hokage-sama?" Harry said as the Hokage told them to rise.

Harry and Anko were used to KI but the pair of them broke like a pair of children as the Sandaime's KI broke over them like a raging torrent pushing through a damn. "HOW STUPID ARE YOU TWO! CONFRONTING MY TRAITOROUS STUDENT LIKE THAT! I CAN UNDERSTAND YOU ANKO BUT HARRY DID THAT COMA REALLY FUCK WITH YOU THAT BADLY! YOU HAVE TWO BROTHERS IN KONOHA WHO NEED YOU AND A WARD THAT YOU PROMISED TO PROTECT!" Harry said nothing and did nothing except stare at the old man's face.

"What do you have to say for yourself Harry-kun now that I have said my piece?" The Hokage grunted as he stood in front of the window.

"I have nothing to say except that your student was after ototuo's sharingan and was going to kill my genin...I showed him that touching my genin is a bad move. If it is your wish I shall take any punishment you believe I need...I have disobeyed orders, tarnished the reputation of our village and interfered with a test which may swing the other countries to believe we aid our genin throughout...However I will not abandon my genin to fight someone so outside their own rankings such as the sannin."

Sarutobi nodded "I saw the recording of your fight and your use of your S-class techniques. On that note how are your chakra levels? What rank are they now?" Harry stared at the old man and thought briefly.

"I believe my levels are back to tokubetsu jonin or straight jonin levels. Instead of feeling drained after summoning Hedwig, Using the Living flames, Amaterasu and Rolling Thunder which are A and S-rank jutsus specifically I felt like I could keep going up to SSS officially named jutsu or as I name them 'NUKE' class."

Sarutobi nodded and grinned darkly at Harry's statement. The old man had expressed interest at looking at Harry's 'NUKE' class in action but Harry said 'if Konoha is invaded the chances are you'll see them. If you do hope and pray you're not in the 180 degree line of fire.'

"Despite disobeying orders I am grateful that you have informed me of Orochimaru-chans whereabouts. Now get out of here before I get more paperwork." Anko nodded and shunshinned out.

"Try Kage Bunshins!" Shouted Harry as he vanished out of the office, if he had stayed any longer he would have seen the Sandaime crack his head on the desk in sheer stupidity.

Harry materialised in the tower in front of the massive statue of the 'tiger' sign. The tiger sign was most prominent in fire jutsu which made sense. Slowly but surely everyone began to trickle in and by the end of the fifth day the 'Rookie 12', Two other Konoha teams made it in. The Suna and Oto teams made it in.

"Congratulation for making it this far, however there are too many of you competing in the third round and so a preliminary has been set up to see who will progress to the final." Harry explained to the assembled genin.

"Now you're going to fight whoever your name comes up against." Harry instructed and the panels in the ceiling moved away to reveal to massive screens.

Yoroi Akado vs. Sasuke Uchiha came up on the screens and the pair remained on the floor. Certainly didn't waste time. Sasuke thought as he and Yoroi waited to start. "No-rules, I will stop you if one can't carry on...ready...FIGHT!" Harry shouted before vanishing with a crack.

Yoroi launched himself forward his left hand coated in chakra. Sasuke stumbled and screamed as the chakra coated hand landed on his head, forcing Sasuke backwards and to the floor. "I'm going to drain you of your chakra so you will have to use Lord Orochimaru's gift. Jiujutsu: Curse mark of heaven transfer!" Yoroi growled and out of his mouth came a miniature head of Orochimaru which bit down on Sasuke's neck implanting the deadly mark.

Sasuke grunted and he gripped the hand draining his chakra and pushed Yoroi backwards "I have no idea what this mark does with my chakra but I'm going to beat you." He snarled diving forward and launching himself across the floor and vanishing.

Where'd he go? Yoroi thought before a foot smashed into his gut and plexus lifting him skyward. Grimacing Sasuke followed his sharingan blaring with black marks crossing one side of his face. "I may have copied some of that but here on out this is all mine." Sasuke mocked.

Suddenly the curse mark flared and receded I won't let this control me. I AM NO-ONES PUPPET! With that he kicked Yoroi in the side which was blocked but Sasuke and grabbed the opponent's shirt which allowed the Uchiha to attack the other side which he opened with a backhand above the heart.

This sudden attack halted Yoroi's ascent and for a moment he lay suspended in midair "Game over." Sasuke murmured before turning himself over and Yoroi began to freefall back.

"GET BACK HERE I'M NOT DONE YET! LION'S BARRAGE!" Sasuke shouted before slamming his foot into Yoroi's stomach and sent him crashing into the ground. Sasuke landed on his feet and swayed.

"Sasuke Uchiha wins." Harry called out and the medics rushed Yoroi away and Sasuke was shunshinned away by Kakashi to get the curse mark sealed.

The next match was mildly interesting Zaku and Shino were next and they stared each other down. "If you fight me here, you'll never fight again. I suggest you forfeit." The young Aburame commented infuriating Zaku.

"I'LL NEVER FOR FORFEIT DECAPITATING AIRWAVE!" Zaku shouted revealing his uninjured arm and channelled a focus blast of wind towards the Aburame who dissolved into bugs. The real Shino appeared behind Zaku.

"Never let the enemy get behind you...One arm won't do this." He commented off handily as he blocked the jab from Zaku.

"AIR SLICER!" Zaku shouted and the arena dissolved into dusk as Shino was blasted away.

Meanwhile up in the stands Kiba and Hinata gasped that Shino was getting thrown around like a ragdoll.

It all came to an abrupt end when Shino commented he had blocked Zaku's air tubes when Zaku had tried to punch him earlier. Foolishly calling the Aburame's bluff Zaku shouted "DOUBLE EXTREME DECAPITATING AIRWAVES!"

Then the sound of metal, flesh, bone and muscle was heard throughout the room as Zaku's arms exploded.

"Shino Aburame is the winner. Next match." Harry shouted.

The third match was between Yoroi's teammate and Kankuro of the sand. The teammate used his blood line to soften his bones and wrap Kankuro up and threatened to snap his neck if Kankuro didn't forfeit.

However Kankuro revealed to have swapped himself with his puppet and used the puppet to break the elastic boy's bones.

"Pathetic...Next match Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka." Two incompetent monkeys, please Ino be better than Sakura. Harry thought sending the prayer to Kami.

It was disappointing to say the least. Sakura and Ino showed their skill in the basic jutsu and Sakura revealed her weak water affinity by making a swarm of bubbles. The only saving grace was the fact both genin knocked themselves out. Kakashi and Harry sweat dropped at how ineffective Sakura was.

Tenten vs. Temari was unfair on Tenten it took five minutes for Temari to reveal her entire battle fan and destroy Tenten's ultimate attack and painfully incapacitate the panda looking girl. Anyone but Temari and she would have annihilated them. Harry thought.

The other matches came and went, Harry ended up quite pleasantly surprised at the potential of the successful genin. Naruto had proven his immense durability and mastery of the kage bunshin to beat Kiba Inuzuka followed by kage bunshin assisted Lions Barrage/Dance of the leaf shadow. Naruto then effortlessly unleashed a Futon: Great breakthrough and Futon: Beast Palm.

Hinata and Neji Hyuuga was a blood bath which Neji combined formidable psychological warfare with his natural prodigy skills to defeat his cousin. However it required several jonin to intervene including him as the hate filled Hyuuga went for the kill and Harry had to restrain the Hyuuga in a subjugate choke hold with Gai, Kurenai, Kakashi and Hayate forming a barrier between the two Hyuuga.

Gaara almost killed Lee with his Jinchuriki possessed sand and Dosu defeated Choji with a well placed shot from his melody arm.

Harry groaned and made a set of numbers and placed them in a box and handed them around to the finalists.

(A/N: I really can't be bothered to say who got what just watch the episode.)

"Well what are you waiting for? Scramble! Chunin stadium 8am in a month's time." Harry shouted and the genin dispersed.
