Naruto: The New Story
Rrrrriiiiiinnnnnnggggggg
Ugh... Please don't tell me it's time to get up...
Rrrrrrrriiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnggggggg
"Ugh... I hate getting up in the morning..." I whined, trying to open my eyes, but wincing at the sun light. Ugh... Why do I feel something on top of me? Don't tell me Kisuke is back...
Rrrrrrrriiiiiiiiinnnnnnnngggggg
"Jalen... Turn the alarm off, ya know..." Naruto groaned, still sleepy.
...
"Huh?" I blinked. Naruto's groan was... Strange. The strange thing about it was... It wasn't from beside me. It was... On top of me. As strange as that sounded.
~A Third Person Is Now Going To Narrate Because Jalen Needs A Break Sometimes! He's Always Describing Things - Messing Up His Brain In The Process - And It's Actually Mentally Hard. Just... Put Up With This For A While...~
Naruto was on top of Jalen, their legs entwined together, and their groins dangerously close. Naruto's chest was on top of Jalen's, so their faces were also dangerously close. Jalen and Naruto's eyes widened as they realized the position they were in, both eyes darting down to the other's mouth. When they realized they weren't kissing, they both inwardly sighed in relief, but not before they swiftly got away from each other, glaring daggers.
"Na-ru-to..." Jalen sighed in anger this time, startling Naruto. Naruto quickly returned the anger, however, glaring harder at Jalen.
"What, ya know?" Naruto asked, displeasure seeping from his voice. Why did this have to happen again?! I usually wake up before Jalen does and get off of him, but Jalen unluckily had to wake up too. Why did he set that alarm, ya know?! Naruto thought to himself, even his inner mind sounding mad. It's not like it's my fault. I don't know why I move in my sleep. He mentally groaned.
"Why were you on top of me?" Jalen asked, trying to stay calm. He was losing the battle, though, his voice raising with each word.
"Uh, sleeping?" Naruto answered sarcastically, a little too much for Jalen's taste. "Seriously, what do you think, ya know?"
Jalen blinked, before scratching the back of his head sheepishly. Both boy's hair were messy, but the action was just making it messier. "Sorry, I forgot people move around in their sleep..." Jalen practically rolled his eyes, standing up from the floor. Naruto did the same, crossing his arms. "...Especially boys..." Jalen added to himself, stretching as he did so.
Naruto stretched, too, his eyes still on Jalen. "So... I deserve an apology, right?" Naruto asked, grinning his Cheshire grin.
"An apology?" Jalen raised his eyebrow, before turning away. "Shouldn't I deserve an apology? You woke up on top of me, you know..." Jalen looked at the time... It was 12:03AM.
"So what? I didn't know waking up on top of a person was a crime." Naruto said. "Anyway, you were about to accuse me of something." Naruto pressed, still grinning.
He's really just going to try getting under my skin this morning, huh? Jalen thought with a groan. "Sorry." He bit out, not wanting to think about it anymore. I forgot boys tend to move around a lot in their sleep. Well, as long as nothing more serious happens, I can put it in the back of my head. It's better to worry about it later than now.
"Why did you turn on that alarm?" Naruto asked suddenly, but then gasped, just now realizing the Second Exam was today. "The Second Exam! The Second Exam, ya know! We need to get ready, ya know!" Naruto started running around, waving his arms around.
"...Naruto." Jalen suppressed the need to face palm. The act was... Beneath him. "The reason I put on an alarm was because of the Second Exam. We are supposed to get there by 3:00PM, so I put the alarm for 12:00AM, giving us more than enough time to get ready." Jalen spoke in a tone that you would speak to a little kid in. Naruto noticed, and shot Jalen a glare.
What's his problem? Naruto thought, before thinking about the Second Exam and grinning again. Whatever... I'm sure it'll be gone when he takes his shower. Naruto thought happily, practically skipping over to the kitchen to make some ramen.
Jalen finally found some suitable clothes and stomped to the bathroom, making a trail of unhappiness behind him. Naruto ignored it, thinking about better, happier things. Both had totally different moods this morning, obviously.
After Jalen was done in the bathroom and Naruto was done with breakfast, they switched roles; Naruto going into the bathroom while Jalen started making himself ramen.
"That was a refreshing shower~!" Jalen sighed in pleasure, a towel on his head. His bad mood was totally gone, the scowl on his face replaced with a Cheshire grin that could rival Naruto's! "I actually forgot what I was mad about... Ah, well~!" He chuckled, placing the ramen in the boiling hot water. "I'm just not a morning person~!"
After Jalen was done eating and Naruto was done showering, they both walked over to the big mirror, adjusting anything that seemed wrong about themselves.
"Okay! It's 1:00PM, meaning we have until 3:00PM to do whatever we want!" Jalen jumped on the bed, relaxing himself. He knew that he would have to be prepared to kill either today or tomorrow. The idea of having to really kill someone didn't really sit well with the red head at first... But after convincing himself that it's self defense and it's for the better good, the idea wasn't so unappealing anymore. Especially after thinking about the saying... "Kill or Be Killed."
"What should we do?" Naruto asked. It's like he's a completely different person after he takes a shower! Naruto suddenly gulped. I would hate to see him if he can't take a shower... Ya know...
Unbeknownst to Naruto, and forgotten to Jalen, Jalen wouldn't be able to take a shower during the Second Exam. Hehe... Let's just see what happens when the boy realizes it... Hehe...
"Do you have everything prepared? Kunai? Shuriken? Everything?" Jalen asked. Naruto nodded at everything, but Jalen wasn't done. "Then that means... Hm..." He looked up, suddenly finding the ceiling interesting. "...We relax."
"Boring, ya know." Naruto practically pouted, sitting on the floor and crossing his arms. "Sitting here waiting is just a waste of my time, ya know. I want to do something fun, ya know. I want t-"
"Naruto!" Jalen practically cried, resisting the urge to plain out shout. He couldn't resist anymore... It just wasn't worth it, he thought. "Stop it, stop it, stop it! We need to be using this time to relax, Naruto! Just shut up and... Relax!"
"What crawled up your ass and died?!" Naruto yelled, standing up. He took a shower, so what's up with him? I have a feeling he's not telling me something...
Jalen blinked, before laughing. It started as a small chuckle, before it turned into a crazy laughing fest. Naruto blinked this time, confused.
"That was funny." Jalen wiped a tear from his right eye, avoiding Naruto's question. Naruto didn't notice, but he was still looking rather unhappy. "Anyway... I feel like going back to sleep." Jalen yawned, before snuggling up under the covers. "I hate sleeping in regular clothes, though..." He added, turning so he could look at Naruto.
"...Sleep..?" Naruto grinned again, slowly walking towards Jalen.
The other boy mentally groaned, before jumping out of the bed, kunai in hand. Naruto grinned wider, taking out his own kunai. This would be fun, ya know.
~About Two Hours Later~
~Jalen's P.O.V~
It was now 3:00PM. It's finally time for the Second Exam. Naruto and I made it to the training field in time and actually met up with Sakura and Sasuke. That in itself is an accomplishment considering all the people here, but it's not really that hard to find the last Uchiha and the only pink haired girl I know. It would be easier if we were in Anime form, but we aren't, so there's no need to even think about the Anime.
Anyway, Anko escorted everyone that made it in time to a place I didn't see the last time I was here. It was like a forest was located in the training field... The Forest of Death. There was a fence surrounding the whole forest, and plenty of locks that made sure no one got in. There was also a sign that said, "Forbidden Area." Well, it must not be so forbidden if 79 Genin were about to walk right in.
There were three examiners sitting in a booth right beside the main fence, and Anko was standing in front of all of us, a big grin on her face. I could sense some things already inside the forest... Probably animals.
"W-What is... This place..?" Naruto asked, not loud enough for anyone to really hear and give him an answer. I would answer him, but he'll know soon enough.
"This is where the Second Exam will take place. The 44th training area..." Anko's voice deepened. "Also known as... The Forest of Death."
A strong wind blew, as if it was waiting for Anko to say those words.
"The Forest... Of Death?"
Come on, follow, we'll step on the gas. Don't look at me, I will never bargain
I'll run all through the night
There's no reason for me to complain. Unless, I'm done, but I have no balance
My days are all wasted
If you just open up, and you just get closer, you might just learn to love
And one day your feelings, your lover will return. Ah~!
Try to live long!
Try to squeeze life!
Even though my own legs, they always get wrapped up together, I will still run!
I will steal it!
I'll still take it!
If you're not with me, there's no motivation
So just go far away into the distance...
A few seconds after the wind stopped blowing, Naruto started to walk away from us. He then started to run around, and I face palmed at the box with holes following him. Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon... Running around like that, Naruto is making a big fool of himself! Gah..! Idiot! Damn brats!
Naruto suddenly stopped running and turned around, making the box abruptly stop.
"Hey, Konohamaru!" Naruto yelled, pointing at the box. "What are you doing here!"
There was a moment of silence, before the box started to talk. "I should have expected that from the man I look up to. Good job detecting me." Suddenly, the box started to glow, and it blew up in pink and yellow smoke. A lot of pink and yellow smoke. Three kids could be seen bending over on the ground, coughing.
"Hey, you used too much gunpowder." Konohamaru coughed out. They coughed some more, before looking up at all of us. Another moment of silence...
...
"The one who possesses the sex appeal of an adult, and the female Ninja from the senior group, Moegi!"
"The one who loves dividing numbers, Udon."
"This village's number one genius Ninja, Konohamaru!"
"The three of us make... THE KONOHAMARU CORPS!"
"WHAT THE HELL?! YOU JUST DON'T RANDOMLY POP UP OUT OF NOWHERE AND DECIDE TO RANDOMLY INTRODUCE YOURSELVES... AGAIN!" I yelled, resisting the urge to bop them in the head.
"I'm about to take the Second Exam for the Chuunin Selection Exams." Naruto told them in that bored tone that he always gets when they show up. "I don't have time to play with you, ya know."
"We didn't come here to play!" Konohamaru yelled.
"Yeah! We came here on a story." Moegi insisted.
"A story?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, we were asked to do an exclusive story on the Chuunin Selection Exams for our school newspaper." Konohamaru explained.
"So we came to ask you some questions." Moegi said. "Please cooperate."
"But..." Naruto sighed, obviously not wanting to do it.
"Hey there! What are you doing?!" Anko asked us.
"Konohamaru wants to do an exclusive for his newspaper or something." Naruto answered.
"Oh!" Anko gasped, before sheepishly smiling and scratching the back of her head. "Yes... I forgot that Lord Hokage mentioned something like that." Anko... Just... Take a nap, k?
"You forgot..?" Yes, Naruto. This amazing Jounin forgot.
"Alright!" Anko yelled out loud, gaining the attention of all the other Genin. "We are going to have a ten minute break now. If you are asked any questions, just concede and cooperate quietly."
"What the..?" Naruto and I gave Anko a blank look.
"Naruto, I'm counting on you." Konohamaru said, taking out a pen and notebook.
Naruto gave them a confused look, before flashing a bright smile. "Fine. I'll tell you all the good things about me, ya know!" He exclaimed, giving them a thumbs up. Oh, God... Well, this may get my mind off of the inevitable action I'll have to do...

~Third Person Point of View~
Chapter of Rin
Character Introduction
"First, introduce yourself, please."
"Okay. My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I am a Ninja of the Hidden Village of Konoha. My hobby is to pull pranks. I love ramen, and I became a Genin just recently, but... I have a big dream. I want to become the Hokage. And I'm going to become greater than any of the past Hokages. Then make all the villagers recognize my existence. In Ninja Academy, they called me dropout, ya know... Moron, ya know... And other stuff, but... I was able to pass the graduation exam to become a member of Kakashi-sensei's 7th squad, and I do difficult missions every day. Sasuke, Jalen, and Sakura are in the 7th group, too, but I'm the only one who's active, so don't worry about them, ya know."
"Don't say that. Introduce them, too."
"Ugh... I know, I know... Like, this guy is Uchiha Sasuke, a conceited kid. He's a survivor of the famous Uchiha clan. But, he's really just a miserable guy, as you can see... And that's Uzumaki Jalen, my brother. I'm, like, his role model. We train everyday, and he got all of his skills from me, of course. When we first started training it was like he was a beginner, but he's considerably better now... Ah! This is the girl that's in love with me, Haruno Sakura. They say that hating is part of love, so she won't say her real feelings; but that part of her is cute as well. "
"Is that true?"
"Yes, yes, it's true, ya know. Hehehehe."
"Who did you say likes Naruto?! Damn it!"
"...While we do train a lot and you did help me a lot... You aren't my role model, Naruto... Sorry."
...
"So it was a lie. Sorry..."
...
"Anyway, we work in a team of four, and have accomplished dangerous missions like weed pulling, trash collecting, and walking dogs."
"Those are dangerous missions? It only looks like you're screwing up, Naruto."
"Well... There were times when I screwed up... Ahehehe... Oh! There was one time where I defeated old man Hokage with my Sexy Technique."
"I can't make an article out of that!"
"Eh... Then show me an example."
"Okay! My name is Konohamaru. I am the grandson of the village's head, the old man Hokage. Grandpa is the most important person in the Hidden Village of Konoha, And is the third Hokage. To hold the name of Hokage means to be the number one Ninja in the village. The fourth Hokage, in particular, is a hero who protected the village from a monster fox."
"Wait, wait, wait! You're only talking about other people!"
"I was planning on saying more now! Besides, you talk about yourself too much!"
"Of course! I'm the main character so I don't care about the others, ya know!"
"Naruto... I'm hurt."
"Sorry, Jalen."
...
"Naruto... You've forgotten about me ever since you graduated the Academy, right? But you can at least introduce me."
"Eeh... Okay, okay. This person is the first person in the village to recognize me, Iruka-sensei. He's a very good person, and treats me to ramen at Ichiraku all the time."
"I'm a good person just because I treat you to ramen?"
"No. Uh. Well. Eh. Ehehehe..."
"YOU'RE NOT FOOLING ANYONE!"
"Naruto, next."
"Oh, yes..."
~Jalen's Point of View~
Naruto was sitting with his back against a tree as he told Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon those lies. I could hear most of it, and I was very displeased with a lot of it. Maybe I should get interviewed and tell them the hard-boiled truth. Eh, we'll see.
Anyway, Sakura, Sasuke, and I were just watching and listening from a distance. It surprised me when Iruka-sensei came in... And why didn't Naruto tell Konohamaru about the challenging things we did?! We sound like a joke!
"Okay, I guess I'll talk about when Sasuke screwed up badly..." Naruto told the 'interviewers'.
"We already heard that! Be more serious!" Konohamaru demanded, Moegi and Udon scribbling things down in their notebooks.
"That Naruto... He must be talking about things that didn't even happen..." Sakura groaned, giving Naruto a disapproving look. I nodded in agreement to her.
"Apparently, Sasuke is a horrible Ninja and very conceited. Naruto is my role model... And you're in love with him." I said to the girl. She growled, before stomping the ground in a huff.
"That's it! I'm running this show!" The pink haired girl exclaimed, stomping over to Naruto, Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon.

Chapter of Hyou
Ninjutsu
"Now, an upperclassman of mine, Haruno Sakura, will teach us about Ninjutsu."
"Hello. I am the beautiful female Ninja, Haruno Sakura."
"Beautiful..?"
"What? Do you have a problem with that?"
"No, I don't!"
...
"First, let's look at Naruto's Ninjutsu. The Sexy Technique. Where Naruto turns into a sexy, naked, blonde - with smoke covering her parts that we can't show on TV - to confuse his opponent."
"Should I be worried you picked that one first?"
"What are you implying, Jalen?"
"...Nothin'."
...
"The Shadow Replication Technique. Where Naruto makes dozens of copies of himself that are real. And the Harem Technique. Where Naruto and his clones use the Sexy Technique to confuse and immobilize the enemy greater. And... The Blackboard Eraser Drop."
"Stop tryin' ta be funny, Sakura."
"Go suck on one, Jalen! And what's with that accent?!"
...
"Next, the one who graduated the Academy with the number one grade, and the number one rookie, Sasuke. Sasuke was the must popular person in our class, and can fight with Kakashi-sensei evenly. Sasuke is amazing!"
"Sakura... Sasuke can not fight with Kakashi-sensei evenly. Kakashi-sensei would easily slaughter Sasuke. Sasuke is a Genin. Kakashi-sensei is a Jounin. Just because you love him doesn't make him any stronger. Remember Lee? Yeah, he beat Sasuke. Only because he's trained more than him, and he's still a Genin. So, it's obvious he can not fight Kakashi-sensei evenly, because Kakashi-sensei is a Jounin, and Sasuke is a Genin, meaning what you just said states you really underestimate Kakashi-sensei. This is reality."
"Jalen, shut up! Why are you butting in on my part?! Go away!"
Bop!
"Ow, ow, ow... You didn't have to hit me... I'm just tellin' the truth..."
"Anyway, he uses many powerful techniques such as the Fire Element: Blazing Fireball, the Fuuma Shuriken, Shadow Windmill, and Sharingan, but... His most amazing move is... Those sharp eyes. If he stares at a girl with those eyes, any girl will fall for him."
"Sa-ku-ra... He stares at you like that because he thinks all you girls are annoying. And... Most of you are."
"B-But his cold attitude also makes him attractive, in a way..."
Cry...
"...You don't have to cry, Sakura..."
"Jalen! Shut up!"
...
"Next, the one who didn't even go to the Academy, Jalen."
"Ah. Finally."
"Ahem. Anyway, he's an excellent Sensor Ninja, meaning he can tell where you are miles away! Oh yeah, and he also looks so cute when he's sleeping! That's why I got him cat pajamas and slippers... Gah! His techniques are the Shadow Replication Technique, The Clone Technique, and the Transformation Technique. He also carries around scolls where you seal things in. As you can see, his only use is sensing and carrying large amounts of items..."
"...I have some new techniques up my sleeve, too. You'll see later..."
"Next, our teacher, Hatake Kakashi-sensei. He is also known as the copy Ninja Kakashi, and can see through an enemy's moves with his Sharingan. Rumor has it that he has copied more than 1000 techniques. But, he's always late for missions, and starts to read a strange book called Flirting Paradise when he gets bored. He also looks bored all the time... The number one mystery about him is his face, which is hidden under that mask. I wonder what kind of face he has. Also, why does he have a Sharingan in his left eye when it's a trait that only shows up in the Uchiha clan members? This person is very mysterious so we don't know a lot about him."
"Considering he's our Sensei... That's awful."
"For once, I agree with you, Jalen. Anyway, there are plenty more techniques from other Ninja, but there's so many of them that I don't have time to explain."
Chapter of Tou
Rival
"The one who looks like the future me, Sasuke, please take care of this part."
"Sure. I'm the one who has to do this. I already knew from the beginning."
"Stop trying to act cool, ya know. You conceited kid, Sasuke."
"Don't interfere. Stay out of the way, you idiot."
"Shut up! I don't like you getting all the attention, ya know!"
"Heh. But it seems that the enemies around us have no interest in you."
"What did you say?!"
"Look at this. Neji and Lee asked about and were interested in me. But you? No one even bothered to know your name."
"You're right, no one thinks of you as the main character, Leader!"
"You're wrong! They just don't have the eyes to notice, ya know."
"Heh. You can bluff pretty well."
"That's not true, ya know!"
"See? You are just bluffing."
"Not you, too, Sakura..."
"...I don't have anything to add to this. Jalen, out."
...
"The examinees who came here to take the Chuunin Selection Exams are all skilled. Nara Shikamaru. Akimichi Chouji. Yamanaka Ino. Hyuuga Hinata. Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru. Aburame Shino. You can't win against them with your normal ways. You know better than that."
"Heh! Of course I do, ya know! Don't get careless and lose to a boring guy."
"Hmph. Of course not."
"Yes, we have passed the First Exam of the Chuunin Selection Exams, and are heading to where the Second Exam will take place. No matter what difficulty lies ahead of us, we will not get scared. And we will hopefully pass these whole exams and become Chuunin. Because we are... We have strong teamwork that ties us together."
"...Is anyone else confused? I know I am..."
Jalen's Point of View
"Thank you for cooperating with our questions." Moegi said, bowing.
"Thank you." Udon said, also bowing.
"Leader, do your best!" Konohamaru exclaimed, giving Naruto a thumbs up.
"I know! Just leave it to me!" Naruto exclaimed, giving them a thumbs up back. I sighed as I ran a hand through my hair. Man... That seemed to be a little more than 10 minutes... I'm pooped. Sakura and Sasuke are standing by me, giving mixed reactions to the three kids.
"Bye!"
"Bye!"
"Do it seriously!"
"Do your best!"
Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and I just stood there, watching them leave. A smile was on all of our faces, well, there was a smirk on Sasuke's face.
Even though I thoroughly disliked this interview, I guess it did get my mind off of the pressure on this exam! I'm going to give it my all, no matter what! And I will kill those Sound rats... Even if I die doing so! Believe it!
Hey~ Can you hear my voice now?
Hey, the sky, it needs to be blue and clear so everyone will smile...
And the sea, it needs to be vast and never-ever-ever ending...
Yes, you need to always have a smile on you all the time, yeah...
Or else, I'll have to go home and cry.
You don't have to look around you anymore, because your look is ending...
All of your friends are all hiding inside your hands. Yes, everyone...
If you think you want to cry, or you think you want to run...
If you forget all the happiness that's found in this world...
Everyone sing~
The bright light was created, then the darkness created
Those two different things are one
Harmonia~
Telepathy~
Hey~ Can you hear my voice now?
Yeah... I know you all probably hate me for actually adding this episode. But, it was a funny episode... And I think it got the stress out of what I should do for this exam... Anyway! Read and Review, like always!
Oh, and don't worry, you guys didn't get nothing from reading this chapter. I'm going to actually recommend a few Naruto stories to you guys. Just for those who get depressed after finishing my chapter, because they don't have anything else to read.
1. New Blood by JFalcon
2. Old Souls by JFalcon
3. Red Eyes by JFalcon
4. Introverted by Shadenight123
5. The New Generation: Students by MaverickBuff
6. The New Generation: Shinobis by MaverickBuff
7. The New Generation: Elites by MaverickBuff
1. New Blood is really my favorite Naruto story known to man. With a whopping 170 chapters, amazing characters that you basically fall in love with, and best story line, you can't not love this story. It's basically... Well, go and read the summary. I can't explain the awesomeness that is this story. I can't!
2. Old Souls is the sequel to New Blood. In reality, when a story needs a sequel... You know it's good. Read New Blood... Now! And then after that read Old Souls! Uh-huh!
3. Red Eyes is the Prequel to New Blood. Hm... You could read this before New Blood, since it is the prequel and everything... And it shows you how much of a good writer this person is... But, I warn you, the main characters in this (Minus the regular characters like Naruto and such...) appear in New Blood either right before the Chuunin Exams or during the Chuunin Exams. So... Yeah. But, even with just 16 chapters, this story is awesome, too.
4. Introverted. Take some time to look up that word. You done? Good. That's how Naruto is in this story. He's not an overly obnoxious orange wearing kid, but what a shinobi should be. He's more... Kept to himself, and he doesn't yell out at all (Unless provoked). Anyway, this isn't a story where Naruto is, like, God or anything. To be honest, he's actually more weaker, and the villains are smarter. The team is Naruto, Sakura, and Sai. No! Don't run away! I was about to run away, because I don't particularly like Sai, but I'm glad I didn't. This story is the more realistic of Ninja... How the Ninja world really is, and how lucky the original Naruto was. Anyway, just read it. This long review of it is enough, right?
5. The New Generation: Students. It's not really the best, but it's good. Read the summary... I can't really review this story to it's fullest... But, just trust me and read it. (Not before New Blood, though!)
6. The New Generation: Shinobis is a sequel to 5. As I said earlier, if a story has a sequel, it must be good. I think. Well, read it anyway.
7 The New Generation: Elites is a... Uh, what do you call it..? I guess it is the third part of 5. Read it~
Anyway, I hope you all read those stories, and I hope you all liked this chapter. Oh, and if you can't find the story by typing in the name, type in the Author name. That helps. Anyway, be safe and stay alive! Bye nii~!
