A day later
Everyone has returned back to the stadium to see who made chunin. The audience all made bets on who made chunin and who didn't. The only person that wasn't betted on is Keisuke because everyone knows he will make chunin today. The participants of the final exam were in the arena along with the Kages that came. The Kages stood with Yagura to the furthest right, then A, Rasa and Minato to the far left. A chunin stood in front of each of their select Kages carrying chunin vests in their hands. Fuji and Hachi shunshined to the arena and everyone stopped talking to listen.
"Before we get started, I would like to say that it was been an honor being your examiner for the past few exams. All of you are very gifted to have come to this final phase, and I think all of you can make chunin. If you don't make it today, then you can definitely make it the next chunin exams. I give it to you Hachi", said Fuji with sincerity.
"I would like to say that it has been an honor being your proctor. I share the same thought as Hachi that all of you can make it today, or the next time you compete in the exams. I wish you all the best of luck with your exams, and I hope you all strive to be your very best. I give it to you Mizukage-sama."
"Before I get started I would like to say that these has been the most diverse and the most promising chunin exams by far. There are many prodigies that stand before me today, but only a couple of you have shown true promise. That is because these prodigies have just completely out matched some of you and thus limited your potential to show true promise. Now I would like to go on to Fei."
Fei perked up at the mention of his name.
"Fei you have good potential with your kekkei genkais, but you abated your other skills and you focused primarily on your kekkei genkai. You could barely fight back against someone who has been weakened, though he's a very talented shinobi; we expected much better from you. You also cowardly screamed mercy which is unacceptable. Shinobi are meant to have control over their emotions and not show weakness. For those reasons you haven't made chunin and we recommend that you take the one after the next one coming up."
Fei wanted cry to badly, but he didn't want to show weakness. Instead he settle for glaring at Keisuke who just shrugged off his glare.
"Zabuza you're a talented shinobi by far, and everyone knows that you should have make chunin today. Especially since you saw all attacks coming your way and you deliberately let yourself get defeated by your teammate. Which by the way is a very sincere thing to do, but sincerity could get you killed in a battle. You have not made chunin today based on what you have shown, but you can definitely make it next chunin exams", said A.
Zabuza didn't really care at all. He knew he didn't show a whole lot of stuff and he knew he wouldn't make it
"Tobi you by far a very promising shinobi to say the least. You have shown proficiency in both of your kekkei genkai's as well as in taijutsu, nintaijutsu, genjutsu and in fuinjutsu. It is also quite amazing how you devised a style that's able to sever nerves, but able to also tear muscle. This shows quite a bit of how advanced your medical ninjutsu really is. You have definitely made chunin today, but I would wait a few years before trying for jonin", said Rasa.
Tobi had a huge smile on his face and raised his hands out to the crowd and they all cheered for him loudly. He caught the vest and put it on. It's a little big on him, but it shrunk just to fit his size.
"Tsubaki unfortunately you have under-performed the most out of everyone here. You have only shown that you could use chakra chains and some kenjutsu styles which one of which is incomplete. You have allowed your emotions to get the better of you in combat and that is why you have failed today. Even though what your opponent did is harsh, you still should have kept a cool head regardless. You didn't make chunin today and we recommend you'll make it on the third exam from now", said Minato.
Tsubaki knew all of this beforehand and it hurt a lot that she under-preformed the most. She would just try harder on the third exam from now.
"E you are one of the few prodigies that truly out shone some of your competitors. Your skill in the Makashi style is fluid and masterful. You have also managed to completely copy a jutsu without the need of the sharingan which is impressive in of itself. You have also shone masterful usage in Raiton no Yoroi, sution and doton. I think you should have been the one to have made it to the final two, but you let a fatal mistake get in the way. You have also shown the most maturity and honesty out of everyone when you apologized to Sayuri and my daughter. You also realized your mistakes which is a very good skill to have. So today you have made chunin and we recommend you take the jonin exam sometime late this year or early next year".
E only smiled and waved to the crowd as his vest got thrown to him. The Kumo crowd cheered loudly for him and so did some of the other crowds. His father gave him a proud smile and an air fist bump which E reciprocated back to him.
"Manami you have shown a lot to us yesterday. You've shown that you do not become immersed into your kekkei genkais. Yes we do know of your second one, and you have done well in not showing it as it is an area effect jutsu and you have would have been disqualified. You have shown your immense endurance and stamina to us and that you're a well-rounded shinobi in taijutsu, kenjutsu, ninjutsu and genjutsu. You have also shown great acting skills which is good for espionage and for maintaining a cover. Although the way you were defeated is much uncalled for, but the fact that you didn't let it get to you and that you tried to win is amazing. You have made chunin and we recommend you try for the jonin exam within the next year", said Rasa.
Manami just smirked and caught her vest and raised up high as the Kiri crowd and even some of the Konoha crowd cheered for her. They mostly cheered because they thought she was Keisuke's girlfriend. Keisuke sensed this from them and gave no outward reaction and just shrugged it off.
"Sayuri you too are a talented kunoichi. You have shown new skills and improved skills. You have shown a good use of medical ninjutsu, two types of nintaijutsu and kenjutsu. You're also well versed in skills like taijutsu, ninjutsu and genjutsu. You have also shown an excellent ability to plan ahead and see all possible outcomes and you have beat the odds that were against you. Although you did have a minor emotional outburst when you rammed your teammate in to a wall because you thought he betrayed you. Although you did make up with him rather than hold it against him which is a plus. You have made chunin today, but we recommend you wait two years and some emotional training in order to make jonin."
Sayuri accepted the vest that was thrown at her and put it on. The crowd didn't cheer because of what she did to her comrade, but they did applaud for her.
"Keisuke you are by far one of the most promising shinobi that we have seen in these exams. You have masterful skills in mutliple forms of ninjutsu as well as shown a masterful use of four elements. We did watch your fight with Juuzou and we've taken that fight into account as well. You are one of the best with the use of a sword and taijutsu. You have also shown to be an S class sensor and have an ability that has never been seen before. You have shown to pick apart the chakra scalpels and the jūken style and combine them both which shows an amazing aptitude of taijutsu and medical ninjutsu. You have the shown the ability to show restraint and not be ruled by your desire for redemption of your friend. You have also shown an S class technique which is beyond legendary and could destroy armies and possibly tailed beasts. You have definitely made chunin and we expect you to try out for the jonin exam as soon as possible", finished Yagura with a smile on his face.
The whole crowd cheered for Keisuke even though some became silent when he raised his still blackened arm to catch the vest. He put it on without acknowledging the crowd or giving out any sign of emotion whatsoever. Rasa then raised his hands up to silence the crowd for him to speak and they all did so.
"Before we conclude today, I would like to announce something", he said loudly for all to hear.
The crowd had become silent and alert at his message.
"I would like to announce that Kiri is now a part of Konoha and Suna's alliance."
The crowd had this time cheered except for the Kumo crowd who became silent.
"So we are celebrating this momentous day here in the coliseum. The Kage of this alliance are automatically invited as well as the now promoted chunin of the three countries and their families. The newly promoted chunin and Kage can bring one person with them who can come in for free. Anyone else wanting to come in will cost ten thousand ryo. Any attire is acceptable for everyone attending. There will be enough food to cater everyone who comes and enough wine for all to come. I hope you can all join us for this great day. Now you are all dismissed, the party starts at seven tonight and goes one through to twelve in the morning."
Everyone flooded and shunshined out of the coliseum in order to get ready for the party.
An hour before for the party
Keisuke was in the hotel room with his mother and he got on the attire he's going to wear. He's wearing a blue long sleeved shirt, his green chunin vest, black anbu pants, black sandals and his head band on his left shoulder. He didn't bother to hide his blackened hand from the world. He turned to his mother who lied on the bed asleep; he didn't bother to wake her up and instead just walked out of the room quietly. He walked over to the room where Takashi was staying with Hitoshi because he didn't have enough money to stay on his own. He knocked on the door and Takashi answered it.
"Keisuke, what are doing here? Don't you have a party to get ready for?" he asked.
"I'm already ready. I just came by to see if you wanted to come with me."
"That's flattering, but Tobi already asked me to go with him."
"I guess I'll go ask Ara-
"He's going with Minato and Mito us going with Tobi."
"Sayuri?"
"She might be bringing Fugaku, Mikoto or Itachi with him."
"Oh well, I guess I'll-
"Keisuke!"
He turned around to find Manami running towards him and stopping juts in front of him. She wore all blue clothing and had he chunin vest one along with her headband around her neck. She sported a hug blush on her face.
"Would you like to come with me to the party?" she asked.
"Sure", he said simply.
"Great! Where should I meet you?"
"How about at the front entrance of the coliseum in thirty minutes?"
"Can you do twenty? There's going to be a big line and I don't want to be waiting for a while to get in."
"Sure I can do that?"
"Thanks! I'll see you there."
She then shunshined off to her sister and prepared to meet with him.
"Well it looks like I got someone to come with me after all."
"You sure do, I'll see you at the party."
"You too."
Twenty minutes later
Keisuke stood in front of the huge line by the entrance and in front of the usher and some security that stood there. Keisuke then spotted Manami and Mei who both wore blue attire and had their vests on.
"You're early. How long have you been waiting there for?" asked Mei.
"Not too long, I just got here two minutes ago."
"Ah man! Look at that line! It's huge!"
"Well let's see if we can get to the front."
They walked up to the usher and she immediately recognized Keisuke and Manami and she assumed that Mei is Manami's sister.
"You can all move up to the front of the line. Oh and I definitely approve of you two dating each other. You're both so cute together!" she gushed.
Manami blushed while Keisuke had just shrugged which Manami assumed was a sign that he didn't care that she thought they were together which made her blush even further. She then held on to his arm as security had come over to escort them to the front. Everyone started to aw at the two as they walked up to the front. They even heard some Manisuke's or Keinami for life as they passed through the line of people. They finally arrived at the front where they saw Minato, Shinji, Tsubaki, Kasumi, Arashi and Kurahime.
"Oh. Hello Kurahime", said Keisuke.
"Hello Keisuke, I see you chose to go with Manami. Why didn't you go with Takashi? You know want to meet him", she said.
"I know you do, but he's going with Zabuza."
"Oh, well you better introduce me to him at some point ttebaya!"
"I will don't worry."
"There you are!" said Arashi.
"I've been looking for you everywhere!"
"Well you have me now."
"I just want to say that you've made me so proud to be your sensei dattebayo! You've done awesome in all of your matches even in your fight against Juuzou. Although I'm still angry with you over the arm, you've still done amazing and I know you'll surpass me someday", he said with pride in his voice.
"Thank you sensei, it's been an honor being your student."
"Just don't forget about me kid. I still want you in my life as a friend or even as a son."
"You think of me like your son?"
"Yes I do", he said with hesitancy.
"Good, because I think of you like my father."
Arashi then got on his knees and gave him a big fatherly hug which Keisuke accepted and reciprocated back to him.
"Keisuke, just the person I wanted to see- oh am I interrupting something?" asked Minato.
"Go ahead Hokage-sama", said Arashi who got off the sandy ground.
"Well I wanted to talk to you about the plan to go to Kiri. You'll be leaving in a week from now and you'll be taking with you Guy, Mito, Tobi, Takashi and one of my students Kakashi which you know as Inu. You're also taking with you four squads of jonin which will defend the Hanakos and Takashi as they came back. Those two are some of the best taijutsu experts around they'll be more than capable of teaching them. Although they may ask you to help because you are a prodigy when it comes down to taijutsu. You can also develop plans to build up their strength the most and maybe give them so of your drugs you made."
"That's smart of you, but I already have a lot on my plate when I get there. How long will I be gone for?"
"You'll be gone for about four to three months. It will mostly depend on how fast you are with teaching them your procedures and for creating those machines. It's pretty easy to mass produce a load of taijutsu users, but it's hard to be teaching medicine. Especially to most of the hospital staff. I don't get why you just could have let Tsunade handle that difficult task."
"Because she's a great doctor and medic, but I'm simply better when it comes to anatomy, physiology, procedures, psychology, clinical chemistry, surgery and pretty much everything else in the medicine side. I don't know all there is to know about medical ninjutsu, I am definitely better in the medical side. Besides I could surpass Tsunade at some point in medicine. I've already develop a medical taijutsu style that's more superior to her chakra enhanced strength and her Byakugō no In (strength of a hundred seal) taijutsu."
"She could mean be better help for you than Mito."
"She's needed to ensure the village is safe and to help with her own medical program."
"You're right it is."
"It's for th- it looks like Sayuri, Tobi, Takashi, Mito, Tsunade, Jiraiya and some unknown Uchiha are coming our way."
Soon enough the four of them have arrived. Sayuri dressed in a royal blue Uchiha shirt with her clan emblem on the back with black pants along with her chunin vest. Takashi wore a green shirt and blue pants, Tobi still wore the same attire he had on for phase three but he had his chunin vest on too. Mito dressed into fancy Senju garments along with Jiraiya and Tsunade. The unknown Uchiha had a black shirt with the Uchiha emblem, black pants and he had the eyes of someone who lost all emotion.
"I knew you'd be expecting us", said Sayuri.
"Of course I would. Did you get over your hatred for Senju?"
"Yes I did thank you for asking. Oh by the way this is Itachi Uchiha the son of my clan head. Itachi, this is Keisuke Senju Yokaze."
"It's nice to meet you Itachi."
"It's my pleasure to make your acquaintance Yokaze-san."
They extended hand out to each other and when they touched Keisuke had a vision of an older Itachi getting with a maddening grin on his face and he's killing an unidentified child and woman. Keisuke didn't give out any response, but he looked deeply into his eyes and scoured his mind for anything about any sign of madness. He didn't see anything, but he sensed him to be a grave danger someday.
"Can you let go of my hand now? Your grip is starting to hurt me", said Itachi with fear in his voice.
"Sorry, I got lost in my thoughts for my moment", Keisuke said with mock sincerity (not that anyone noticed).
Mito and Tobi looked at him weirdly and Sayuri and Takashi narrowed their eyes at him because he doesn't get 'lost in his thoughts'.
"Hey it looks their opening up the gates", said Kurahime.
"Oh that's right before I forget. Takashi that's Kurahime Uzumaki my sensei for the past month, Kurahime that's Takashi Hanako my best friend."
"It's so nice to finally meet my former student's best friend. You really as unique as Keisuke says you are", he said sincerely.
"Thank you, it's nice to meet you too."
"Oh I believe we haven't met before. My name is Tobirama Senju, but I prefer Tobi please", he said with confidence.
"You have such a strong and sociable personality, but I do know your name Tobi, especially that entrance you made. There's no way I will ever forget that entrance you made how you basically thrived off the crowd itself. It's quite amazing even in itself how you just got so energized by that crowd."
"Thank you, I love people. Especially meeting people and seeing all new faces that gets me really energized and happy."
"I bet you want to be Hokage don't you?"
"I actually want to be an ambassador for either Kumo, Iwa or Kiri."
"That's some dream. But I know anyone as gregarious and extroverted as you can definitely make it as an ambassador for either of those countries."
"I appreciate your compliment very much", he said with a smile.
"Let's get inside guys before he get trampled over by the crowd or they start to riot", said Keisuke.
They all got inside and had a wonderful time. Many people came up to Keisuke and congratulated him on getting a girlfriend, but many of those people had to run from an angry Manami as she chased them all over. This caused Mei to laugh every time someone compliments them and she keeps remarking that they look very cute together much to their dismay. Someone kept getting extremely jealous from whenever someone brings up the kiss and compliments them on dating each other. Not even Keisuke can find out who exactly is getting jealous from this.
The three Kage all got drunk together and they all got escorted to their homes by their ninja because they were disturbing the peace and acting too wild. With pretty much the three lives of the party gone everyone decided to disperse, but not before taking all the food and wine so nothing goes to waste.
Keisuke decided to just head home and sleep despite most of the group wanting him to stay, but they all knew he was going to take up bright and extremely early to carry his mother all the way to Konoha. He went to sleep and the got up at four in the morning and found his mother ready to go. He got ready quickly, made two Kage bunshins and three Keisukes then proceeded to sprint all the way home. They arrived back at six in the morning because they did go at top speeds.
He then got himself to a training ground and proceeded to train for the rest of the day. The remaining five days will be like that because he will be going to Kiri and he can't really take missions. Because A, Minato won't let him and B, he could not finish them in time of when he needs to leave.
Alright guys! I just want to let you guys know that I appreciate the twenty people that support my stories. I saw a review that got posted that said I'm idiot and I need to stop writing. Well to that person that wrote that, I'm sorry that you don't like my stuff. There's no need to insult me and say to stop writing. There's twenty people who like this story and many more that want to see more. You might also want to check your grammar because "your and idiot", is not correct. It's "you're an idiot", so please do not insult my intelligence like that again and this the only story I wrote. You can message me and we can talk about why you insulted me like that or what I can do to fix myself and not seem like an 'idiot' to you. Don't forget to like my stuff if you think it's good, leave a review if you have a question or want to talk about something. Take care guys and have a good day/night!
