I Don't Own Naruto
"Winner Neji *cough cough cough* Hyuga," coughed Hayate.
"Could all of *cough cough* the winners please come back *cough* down here," requested Hayate, the twelve genin winners walked down the stairs and walked to the centre of the arena floor.
"Congratulations on winning you *cough cough cough cough* twelve will move onto the third *cough cough* round of the exams," said Hayate.
"When I come around take out a number these will be use to decide match-ups for the third round," said Zabuza walking along the line of genin each one pulling out a piece of paper with a number on it.
"Alright brats when I point at ya I want your number," declared Zabuza, before pointing first at
"I have eight," said Choji Zabuza nodded before writing something down on the clipboard in his hands.
"Troublesome ten," muttered Shikamaru
"Three's what I got," Temari spoke.
"I got four," declared Tenten.
"Nine for me" said Mikari.
"Eleven," spoke Kankuro.
"I have one," muttered Naruto.
"Six," growled Gaara.
"I have five," said Sasuke.
"I got seven," spoke Kalina.
"Two," declared Neji.
"Twelve" muttered Shino.
"Alright thanks…" said Zabuza looking down at the paper.
"The match ups will be as follows, Naruto verses Neji, Temari verses Tenten, Sasuke verses Gaara, Kalina verses Choji, Mikari verses Shikamaru and finally Kankuro verses Shino," declared Zabuza.
"Alright we wish you all luck you will each have a month to prepare for the finals," said Hiruzen with a smile before standing up.
"A month why not have the finals right now?" asked Choji.
"There's going to be lots of important figures here Daimyos, Foreign Kage, business leaders people that will take time to get here and the month will give us all time to rest and recuperate," said Naruto.
"Well said Naruto, yes as Naruto said Choji we have to wait for foreign dignitaries and such to arrive," said Hiruzen with a smile to the tubby boy.
"You are all dismissed," said Hiruzen before he Shunshined out of the room as did most of the Jonin, the Sensei telling their teams to meet them in various places.
"Alight you three see you in training ground six tomorrow usual time," said Anko before she vanished in a swirl of leaves after getting a nod from her genin.
"See you two later," said Naruto as he too vanished in a swirl his however was that of electricity.
#Outside The Konoha Hospital#
Naruto appeared in a swirl of static he wanted to make sure Kiba and Hinata were ok after their matches Hinata in particular after the brutal beating Neji had laid on the girl. Walking into the hospital Naruto walked straight passed the girl at the front desk who was reading a magazine knowing she would cause more trouble than it was worth besides he could sense where in the building his classmates were.
Naruto could sense that Hinata was in still in surgery not surprizing he would have to come back to check on her, heading to Kiba's room Naruto sensed the genin was not alone.
"Hey Kiba, Hana-chan" said Naruto walking into Kiba's room making both Inuzuka siblings turn to him.
"Hey Naruto-kun I haven't seen you in a while," said Hana with a smile.
"Hey blondie," said Kiba.
"Look Kiba I hope there's no hard feelings," spoke Naruto nervously rubbing the back of his head.
"Nah man we're cool it was a competition, those string things are really cool though," said Kiba with a grin at Naruto.
"Aren't they it's part of these gloves I found in Uzushio I push chakra into the gloves and then chakra threads form from my fingertips I've only just started reading into the Bukijutsu style with them but it's really interesting," said Naruto with a grin which then turned to a sad smile.
"How's Akamaru?" asked Naruto.
"He'll be better before this knucklehead," said Hana giving her little brother a noogie, Naruto just smiled at the brother and sister.
"Wait, where's Tsume-san? I would have thought she would have been here" questioned Naruto looking around the room.
"Apparently a councilwoman's daughter got the shit beaten out of her and won't be able to be a kunoichi ever again and now the councilwoman is bitching trying to get the person who did it to her executed" said Kiba, Naruto's eyes widened.
"So you know who it was?" questioned Kiba.
"Yeah, Sakura got the snot beaten out of her by Kalina," said Naruto calmly no way in hell anything could come of it and besides if anything did Naruto had told Kalina and Mikari that if they ever got in trouble with the council to ask for him.
"Naruto Uzumaki your presence is required in the council chambers," said an ANBU agent appearing behind the blond.
"Alright I'll be right there," said Naruto nodding to the ANBU who then vanished in a swirl of leaves.
"Well I hope you get better soon Kiba, and I hope to see you again soon Hana," said Naruto turning around.
"Well you know where to find me Naruto," said Hana before Naruto vanished in a swirl of static.
#Council Chambers#
Naruto appeared in a swirl of static to only to find Kalina standing in front of the Council the civilian side was glaring at Kalina while the Shinobi side was indifferent to the girl.
"So what's going on?" asked Naruto looking around the room, the first thing he did notice was a severe lack of Sarutobi but he let it slide in favour of finding out what they were trying to go at Kalina with.
"My precious Daughter is in the hospital in a critical condition and will never be a ninja again because of that little bitch," yelled a blond haired woman glaring at Kalina not even looking at Naruto.
"Stiff shit it was a tournament to decide whether ninja were ready to be promoted, your daughter if she was that fragile deserves to be where she is, she took the exams, she knew the risks involved and to be perfectly honest she shouldn't have even been there," said Naruto.
"What the hell do you mean?" snapped the woman now glaring at Naruto.
"Well she doesn't have any skill she shouldn't have even have made it passed the academy she can't even do more than five jutsu in succession, I know six year olds who can do more than that, she has pathetic physical strength she would be lucky to lift a table let alone herself plus her two teammates as is the standard for kunoichi elsewhere in the world, hell she only wants to learn about history and other stuff that is useless on a battlefield," said Naruto.
"She passed the academy she was fit to be a ninja and that heartless bitch nearly killed my poor Sakura-chan," declared the woman pointing an accusing finger at Kalina
"You're precious Sakura-chan should never have passed the academy she is pathetic the only reason she did pass the academy was because of the low standards the academy has fallen to and has shifted focus from physical prowess of the ninja to the mental capabilities of them instead which serves to actually weaken the ninja force by putting the average intelligence but perfectly trained kids at the disadvantage. Your daughter chose to take part in the exams she knew the risks there is nothing that you can do to change that, nor is there anything you can do to have Kalina executed, she is a clan heiress ten times more important than that banshee of a fan girl, and ignoring that Kalina did nothing wrong it was a tournament to establish those ready to advance rank we were given orders to disable opponents by any means necessary, Sakura should have thrown in the towel when she was having her ass handed to her but she didn't she sat there screaming a real ninja can keep fighting with a broken bone and not even flinch, nothing happened against the rules provided to us," said Naruto.
"Well said Naruto couldn't have said it better myself," said a voice from behind everyone as the doors to the room opened revealing the previously missing Hiruzen.
"And I seem to recall only the HOKAGE could call council meetings," said Hiruzen glaring at the civilian council.
"But Hokage-sama if this girl attacked a fellow ninja with such ferocity surly she is a risk to anyone she works with," declared the blond woman clearly a last ditched attempt to get her executed.
"No she treats her fellow ninja with respect befitting their rank however she like most other kunoichi don't class fangirls as fellow kunoichi therefore are not treated with respect that they do not deserve," declared Naruto getting a nod from Kalina.
"ENOUGH," declared Hiruzen.
"Councilwoman Haruno you can keep your slanderous remarks to yourself you request for punishment against Kalina Jigoku is denied DISMISSED," yelled Hiruzen making the civilians jump and run out of the room, the ninja just stood up and walked out of the room.
"See you tomorrow Kalina," said Naruto vanishing in a swirl of static.
#Next Day Training Ground Six#
Naruto stood with Mikari and Kalina in front of them stood Anko who was eating some Dango.
"So all three of you made it to the finals and we have a month until they roll around I can train all of you but I wouldn't recommend it as you may end up fighting each other and it may be an idea to have some new tricks up your sleeves so do any of you want me to train you?" asked Anko.
"I have been meaning to work on my clan jutsu for a while and Kaa-chan said she'd teach me the next level of Oni Seigen Jutsu soon so I'll pass Sensei," said Kalina. Anko nodded and turned to her second female student.
"Kaa-chan said she'd teach me some new tricks with my bow and a few handy jutsu so I'm gonna pass on it too Sensei," declared Mikari. Once more getting a nod from Anko before she turned to her boyfriend with a small smile.
"Well Kaa-chan offered to teach me some stuff for the month but I would like to spend some time with you so maybe you and Kaa-chan could both train me?" suggested Naruto, getting a shrug from Anko.
"Alright we'll see you guys at the finals there won't be any team meetings during this month so you can concentrate on your training," said Anko getting a nod from her team. Naruto and Anko both vanished in a swirl of static and leaves respectively.
#Uzumaki Compound#
Naruto and Anko appeared in their respective Shunshins.
"KAA-CHAN I'M HOME," called Naruto as he walked into the house.
"Oh Naru-chan you're back soon," said Kushina walking out of the kitchen.
"Oh who's this?" asked Kushina pointing to Anko.
"This is Anko-chan," declared Naruto.
"Oh so this is Anko," said Kushina looking the woman over for a moment. Anko felt a little bit awkward and exposed at the mother of her student and boyfriend, after a moment Kushina smiled at Anko.
"Nice to meet you Anko-chan," spoke Kushina with a soft smile.
"The pleasure is mine Kushina-sama," declared Anko with a slight bow to the woman.
"No, no, no, no that won't do Anko-chan you don't refer to me as Kushina-sama, just Kushina or Kushina-chan works," said Kushina with a smile. Anko just let out the breath she didn't realise she was holding.
"So Anko-chan what can we do for you?" asked Kushina with a smile.
"Well as Naruto is my student and he has made it to the final round of the chunin exams he needs some extra training, he has said that you said you would train him for the month but has also expressed interest in having me train him as well so I have come over to discuss his training and if it is agreed upon both of us training him then to also to come up with a training schedule," declared Anko.
Alright people here we have it
so here we have the end of the prelims the matches for the finals
Ok when i wrote this the poll about Sakura was dead set even (No pun intended) so i decided to go with the side that had that people had been giving good reasons to keep her alive so with that Sakura is permanently crippled but she will not be showing up in this fic again, mentioned maybe but actually showing up not happening
also the trial was put in because there was a review written on the chapter of the fight that the person (I can't be assed looking) was butthurt over Sakura being crippled (saying Kalina should be exicuted) and that Sasuke tired to go after Mikari and Kalina so to you if you're still reading this is what i think of your little butthurt comments (If you want to look i wouldn't bother i think it was a guest review that i deleted because it was just a butthurt Sakura fanboy/girl)
last but not least we had the training for the month ahead set up
well that's all folks...
