Last time, Naruto shinobi test began early in the morning.

With Naruto

Once he left his parent at the starting point, he quickly ran between the border of the forest and junlge area. Once he spotted the open clearing that was in the forest part, he knew that he needed to go deeper into the jungle area.

His plan was simple; he was going to follow the mission on getting the scroll to the other side of the training area, where his father is waiting for it. He was familiar with this sort of mission since he did this kind of work back when he was with the Marine Core, but he had to go throw dangerous terrain that was almost similar to this, except it was dessert area.

He pulled out the map that his father gave him to check his position. He was able to determine that there was a river just about 100 yards off North NW from his position. He quickly jumped on to the close tree near him, hip hop to one to another going up, zig zag pattern, only using his palms to make the jump until he reached near the top where he used the full power of his chakra to strengthen in his feet to jump onto the top of the tree and put his back into it and using the top of the tree as a sling shot to push him forward about 30 yards towards the river, above the tree line.

He went flying towards some other trees and didn't land on any of the tree branches, but instead waited until he was near the near the ground (8 stories high) to grab the lowest branch twig that lowered his velocity just a bit to make him land on both his feet. He was really glad he did that, since this was according to his plan.

Once he landed he leapt on the ground, avoiding the dirt as much as possible since he needed to keep his plan in progress. He checked the time on his g-shock watch to see that only 15 minutes have pass, which means he needed to hurry. He walked towards the river while making nice smooth foot prints.

He reaches the river and started to unleash his Marine Corps training. He quickly jumped into the river, then moved himself into the muddy area, covering certain parts of his uniform and face with mud to better camoflouge himself. He then neatly walked on the gravel that was near the river to get the bushes or tree branches that have fall to cover his body with foolage while making sure not to leave any foot prints. Once that was done, he quickly started to walk backwards to the location where he started from, but making sure that the foot prints were wide enough to convince that he was running towards the river.

He made it back near the open plain area of the forest part which he then made a backflipand landed himself, making sure that his feet was pointing into the open area. He performed the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu for one clone. The clone immediately ran towards the open area, but made sure to leave obvious tracks. Once the clone left he looked around to see the thickests vegetation in the area and hid himself, while making sure that there weren't any signs of him still being in the area.

After he hid himself, he immediately froze, while unleashing his other abilities that he learned from his sensei, abilities that would kill anyone not properly trained. He quickly put his mind at ease to make sure that any present of a person watching isn't there, but only nature, lowered his chakra that he was thankful on all the years of hiding his power from the U.S. military. Finally, the thing that his sensei taught him that would definetly erase his present, he willed his heart to slow down into almost complete stopped which also slowed down the flow of blood to his brain. In all this state, he was almost clinecaly dead, except for every minute short breath he takes softly, while expanding his sense of touch to feel the area.

With Arika

Arika, was currently, with Shizune who had agreed to watch over her while her parents watch over her brother Naruto's shinobi test. As she waited, Arika couldn't help but think on what her brother is doing, or how he is going to pass his test. She continued to think until Shizune spoke to her.

"Are you worried about Naruto?" Shizune asked, as she saw Arika fidgetting on her homework for the academy.

Arika nodded, "Um… a little bit… I just hope he is alright?"

"Don't worry… you father well be overlooking at the exam… if anything should happen, he would stop it himself… so there's nothing at to worry about." Stated Shizune, which Tonton oink in agreement.

Arika smiled at it, plus from what she saw her brother studying and training for the past week, she is pretty sure that he well be OK.

Hour later

It's been an hour since the exam has started. It only took Minato, Kushina and the rest of the group only a few moments to reach the other side thanks to Minato's Hiraishin no jutsu, which he placed early on for this.

As they waited on the other side for another hour, 2 more people arrive to see this exam. It was Jiraya and Tsunade, 2 of the Sannin. They greeted everyone before greeting Minato and Kushina.

"So… how's my godson doing? Is he near the half way mark yet?" asked Tsunade

"No… which is strange?" answered Minato

Minato explained that he has seen and ran with his son a couple of time during the week. He was pretty fast as high lv Chunin, but Naruto hasn't yet made it to the half way point.

"That is strange… considering on how he describe his skill, especially since, even if he is still an amataur on it, he advance enough very quickly in chakra control from what I have seen him do." Said Jiraya

"He is probably making sure he passes the test with a perfect score like a shinobi…" Said Kushina, getting everyone attention before saying, "… or he going to pass this test with what he said to me earlier."

Kushina told them about the conversation that she had with Naruto before coming to training area. Kushina quoted Naruto as he said, "Don't worry mother… I'll pass this test with the training I have been given as well as from the faith that was bestowed upon me. I well pass like a Marine."

They were wondering on what Naruto said. They thought that a shinobi was something, but whatcan Marine do against a well trained and seasoned shinobi.

Same time

Naruto was currently finishing up tieing up the genin that he has caught. As his finished up tieing the final knot, he couldn't help but be surprise on how weak these genin were, as well as easily trickable.

At 1st, when he encountered the genin, he decided to play ghost on them. Once they made it to the river, where he covered himself in mud, he decided to have some fun. He created 2 Shadow clones to quietly position themselve to carry out the originals plan, while he snucked up close behind the genin, without making any sound or unleashed the feeling of the hunt. He positions himself so that genin would walk near him. Next to him, a long cut vine that clones made was near him.

From the top, the 2 clones quietly stayed hidden, waiting for the moment. 3 of the 4 genin walked pass him without even realizing it. The 4th member was just your average 15 year old male genin, except he was the 1st to be taken out. Just as he passed by Naruto, he was sudden caught from behind into a headlock in an interesting way. Before he could even warn his squad, Naruto, with the current hold he had on him, instantly squeezed hard enoug to hear a crack sound, which the genin suddenly went unconcious.

Once the genin was knocked out, he pulled the vine, which he was suddenly lifted them into the air, while holding onto the genin. Naruto used the clones as the pully system, to get him up on the treeline.

The 3 genin looked back wonder on why their 4th friend wasn't conversating with them, as they walked by to see that he was gone. Naturally, they thought that he must have walked away from them, which one of them decided to look for him. The 2 that waited for them, waited for 10 minutes until they had enough waiting. They went back to see that they couldn't find a trace of them. The 2 remaining ones, the kuniochi and male genin, were the last one's standing.

They were both starting to get nervous, which only grew as the sounds of nature continue to go on. The girl was getting nervous, while the boy decided to take charge of the situation. He got them started by planning their plan of action, which they would look for their teamates, after which they would capture the 4th son. But before they could even walk 5 ft from the position they were in, the girl was caught in a trip wire that caught her foot then dragged her into the bushes, which the boy threw a shuriken to cut the vine that caught her foot.

The kunoichi was grateful to her teamate, which she turned around to thank her teammate from free her of the trap, but only to see that he was gone. In the ruckus of her being captured, Naruto did a bungee jump above, while using his Shadow clones to be ready to pull him up, on his next victim. Once the kuniochi was being pulled from his trap, he made the leap as he used the shonibi wire that he had in his sealing scroll. He used that since shinobi wire was extremely strong. He leapt and fell close enough to be just above the boy's head, which he then grabbed with both his hands on the boy's face, covering his mouth. The clones made the leap down which they were about 10 meters away from the original's jump. With the pully system, he quickly and easily got back on the top, with the now struggling boy in his hands.

Once above, the moment that the wire slacked and he stopped moving up, he pulled the genin to get a better grip on him, which he then place the boys neck between his legs and squeezed hard to sufficate him, while using one of his hands to stop the boys arms from moving around behind him, which knocked him out, while Naruto used his chakra to grab hold on the tree bark that was close to him with one free arm, which his body started to tilt backwards, until his arm was close to popping out of its sucket.

Now, normal, the strength to hold yourself upside down and side ways was tough, even tougher while holding someone in a leg suffication, the strain on the body was difficult enough, but he has trained his body and mind to handle the stress, which paid off. He then let go of the genin and grabbed the tree with the rest of his body, while using his other arm to hold onto the now unconsious genin from falling.

Now the kuniochi, was all alone, wondering on what to do next since even though she was well trained, she never fought an opponent of this calibur. She looked around, trying to figure out on what Naruto was planning to do. She decided to slowly walk back to the closes tree and jump from tree to tree to make sure Naruto couldn't get behind her. On her 3rd tree that she was at, having something to protect her back while she scans the area. She was just about to reach the next tree when she touched something slimy, yet felt like wet clothing. She turned around to see what looks like a dead person, which she screamed so loud that it echoed around the area.

Naruto walked up to her while she was screaming from seeing a Kage Bunshin like this, that she never knew that he came up behind her, wearing all that mud and foolage on his body. Once she screamed, Naruto went in and punched hard on the kuniochi stomach and knocking her out.

With Minato

As everyone continues to wait, Minato looked into the training area. He looked curious about something which Kushina pointed it out.

"Um… Minato-kun… what's wrong?"

"Um… did you guys hear anyone scream right now?" asked Minato

They said no, which he then asked the other people if they heard anything. They answered no by nodding there heads. Minato knew he heard something, so to be assured; he took out the crystal ball to look into the training area.

The moment he activated his crystal ball, he looked inside of it to see what was going on. He found the genin that were hunting his son to see that they were tide up and bound. Everyone, except team 10, the civlians and elders, came to look to see that all 4 genin were knockout. They saw that they were hanging from a decent height off the ground to keep them away from any wild creatures. They were all tide behind their backs, which connected them with the shinobi wire that held them on the thick strong branch. Their feet were tide with any vines from the forest, very tightly. Their mouths were covered with some of their own clothing, while their ears were also covered as well, while using their Konoha headband to blind them. The weapon pouches that they have were gone, guessing that Naruto took it from them to have a nice steady supply.

As everyone saw this, Jiraya spoke up, "Well… he definitely knows how to fight as a Shinobi since he took care of the genin that were chasing him… while also following your orders pretty well…" which the season shinobi watching agreed, which Jiraya continued, "… Not to mention he got rid of a possible threat and stolen some equipment or any other information that could be useful to him."

Minato and Kushina were wondering on what their son was going to do next since he proved that he can fight against genin lv shinobi, but they wondered on what he could do against chunin. As they pondered, Minato ordered some anbu that were nearby to send a team to rescue the genin since they might be getting worried cause in the crystal ball, he saw that one of the genin started to move around, scared stiff.

Next ch
