Helooooo!
The first thing i have to say is sorry for taking so long to publish this, but i've had a lot of work, last week was brutal, between my work and helping my mom i just had sunday to sleep, but that's in the past
Thanks for the reviews, i really apreciate them, for the people asking about a girl for Naruto, i always keep it as a secret until last time possible. For those with criticism for my english i thank you, i'll try to look into it but as english is not my born language, i usually think short phrases in english so trying to write a long paragraph is kind of hard at this moment ( i hope this helps me to improve) (i have no idea how to use "semicolons" properly)
And now, speaking about the chapter, I hope you like it because i had many ideas and did my best effort to put them together
You should probably realize i don't like cannon stories so the "akatsuki vs the five ninja villages" war is not going to happen, but probably there would be some of war, or another kind of conflict. I like to put things in motion, keeping Naruto as the center of the story so if something happens to someone else don't be surprised if I don't elaborate on it
I'd like your opinion but i like to write facts first and the explanation later, for example -Naruto made the mountain explode- and then someone else thinks 'he used a powerful doton jutsu for that' so that gives you the chance to think about the explanation, because i could write the reasoning and then the fact, for example: '-I would probably need a very powerful doton enhanced punch to make that explode' and then put the hit (I would like some opinions about that...and some guessing of the last move Naruto uses on this chapter)
Chapter 5
People in Suna wasn't having a good time, since the failed invasion they weren't seen as one of the big ninja villages anymore, the clients were very few and many ninja even fled from the village
It was midnight, it was very cold and people was resting for the next day, suna's ninjas were used to hardships in life, and this was just another test from life…or so they thought before a shout was heard "Shinra Tensei"
Sunagakure was just a big castle built in the desert, so when you destroyed it from the inside, the sand just returned to the desert, many people died from the initial impact, the lucky ones were shaken from the almighty push and got up looking for the attacker "Temari, What was that?" asked Kankuro to his sister
"There's a guy floating on the sky" said the blonde pointing a specific place on the sky
Before anyone could to something to protect the village, that person flying in the middle of the village, summoned three giant animals, a very big Rhino, a strange bird and a centipede, the Rhino started to demolish any building standing, while the bird thrown some eggs to the survivors, and the centipede got underground to came out and attack someone
Temari pulled Kankurou from the ground, some ninjas were gathering behind some destroyed buildings to counterattack, but there was only one problem, Pain wasn't alone
The ninjas that were planning to strike back, were surprised when they were completely covered in exploding tags "I'm sorry" admitted Konan before detonating all the tags, both of them were S-rank shinobi, and even a weakened village was a strong fortress, but Pain's powers were too lethal if you didn't know the mystery behind them
It was just an hour, but the heavily weakened Sunagakure fell to the fury of the founders of Akatsuki, Pain was satisfied because this put things in motion and now all he had to do was waiting for the old grudges and traditions to do their work
"We did it Nagato" said Konan impressed after taking down one of the five great ninja villages
"This is just the beginning" replied the tired Uzumaki before gathering his paths
What Nagato neither Konan saw, was a barrel-like puppet, this was a post-war weapon strengthened with powerful containment seals that opened to reveal both sand siblings "Kakuro…What happened?" asked Temari in tears
"That guy…that robe, they destroyed everything" said Kankuro crying in anger, first Konoha demolished their forces and now Akatsuki destroyed their home to the ground… "We have to go Temari…this is just the beginning" added the puppeteer taking his sister and getting away from the ruins of Suna
….
..
The next few days, many people knew about Suna's fate, no one knew the culprit, but that wasn't relevant, Suna was just a memory and that left a void in the balance of the world.
"Who could have done that?" asked Naruto, who hated to not know everything
"I don't know…but the problem comes now, Iwa's probably going to take their place or at least try to do it" said Jiraiya with a serious expression
"Can we do something about it?" asked Naruto
"We can…but you have to think about all the possibilities" replied Jiraiya "If we send our troops to the desert, someone could try to attack us" added Jiraiya
"I can have Sai spying the place…but what are we going to do if Iwa or Kumo try to invade?" asked himself, he had to think carefully or the effects could be awful for the whole world
Both hermits were thinking about the best measures to deal with this issue when the door opened and the old man appeared "Would you like another point of view?" asked the Sandaime Hokage
…
..
Naruto had some root ninja patrolling wind country's desert, so far none other nation had made a claim, probably Orocmiharu's death was positive in this case, the treacherous sanin was an opportunist man
Some weeks had passed, and things were tense but peaceful so far "Naruto, I have a letter from the daimiyo" said Sarutobi entering to the Hokage's office, the blond opened the scroll and read it
Esteemed Naruto
I have some kind of personal request, after everything that has happened with Suna, I'm a little worried about the other countries so the wind daimiyo asked us to help him build a new castle to protect the country with the help of the wind monks, this is not an order, but I think balance is a better choice than revenge
Hi no kuni, feudal lord
"What is your choice?" asked Sarutobi to his pupil
"I'll help" was Naruto's answer
….
..
The next week started the mission; a deal of monthly payments equivalent to a S-rank mission for two years was the price, because Naruto got some highly qualified shinobi to the task, even himself
The castle building team was formed by himself, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kakashi Hatake and Tenzo, some support ninjas like Kabuto and Fu Yamanaka came with the team, while Jiraiya was the main ninja staying in Konoha
Naruto and Sarutobi did the rock foundations with their advanced earth manipulation, in that mission Naruto used for the first time his new technique, it lacked a name but was basically an elemental orb made with Naruto's chakra that floated around Naruto and was able to cast his own elemental ninjutsu of the element it had, using that Naruto had been able to apply extreme pressure to the rocks of the building to support the structure
Tenzo used the mokuton to anchor the building to the underground, even making some tunnels before all of them lifted strong walls and made the whole place, the castle was very high to make it easy for a long distance specialist to defend it, and its size was like two mountains, it could house around one thousand people despite the fifty or something that were going to live it that place at the start
The Konoha's ninjas finished the whole thing in six days, most of them had to take soldier pills, except for Naruto and Sarutobi, the first used sage mode to amplify his chakra capacity and potency, while Sarutobi had an awesome chakra control and his reserves were still big despite his age
At the seventh day, the very same Daimiyo from Wind country came to approve the building, he was quite satisfied with the result and thanked Naruto and his ninjas, who accepted this gesture and returned to Konoha
…
By the end of the next week, Naruto was going out again, this time was for the Chunin exams, it was Kumo's turn to organize the event and with all the tension between the nations, the four great shinobi villages were going to send their genin to give the kages a reason to visit Kumogakure
Naruto left Sarutobi and Jiraiya on charge of the village's safety while he left with his old team as bodyguards and Kabuto in the medic-nin spot, the genin of this exams were Gai's, Kakashi's and Asuma's team, and this time they were going for the glory
The Kyubi jinchuuriki had a weird feeling, something told him this travel would be very eventful and that got him motivated to arrive as soon as possible
And while many villages were making preparations for this event, in the shadows, some unseen forces were lurking in the dark
…
..
After some days, the Chunin selection exam begun with a great number or participants, and the four Kage were in the same place, for the first time since the war, but they never gathered on the same place, usually A and Onoki were on their own, while Naruto accompanied Yagura
They talked about was Suna's fate, they were aware none of them was responsible for their destruction, and that was something to worry, another force aside from the four great shinobi villages was able to demolish Suna, obviously Naruto and Yagura believed it was Akatsuki, but the reason behind that was unclear, A didn't think so much about it, if they were weak enough to get beaten for some minor force, they deserved to be destroyed and finally Onoki was paying a lot of attention to the kages's reaction to the topic, to see if they were interested in suna's place
The second phase of the Chunin selection exams, was a survival test in the mountains, A was a simple minded man, he thought strength was the most important attribute so each team had a token and to complete the test, the teams needed two tokens
Kumo's mountains were harsh, cold and very dangerous, the exam started around three mountains and the goal was a small encampment with most of the Jounin sensei waiting for their teams, they had one hundred hours to reach their goal so all the teams moved with haste
Kumo had many teams on the exams, but B's team was the strongest, Konoha had three strong and skilled genin teams, while Kiri sent the only three Yagura thought would be able to put some fight, Iwa was known widely for their numbers so they had like ten teams
Konoha's delegation were always followed outside the designed hotel, Kiri was staying in another hotel to avoid unknown meetings between their kages and Iwa was in a big encampment built by themselves, the old Onoki could only trust in self-made rocks
Despite the tension between the four remaining villages, the exams were going smoothly the end of the second phase was found with three teams from Konoha, one from Kumo and one from Iwa, it wasn't needed to say A and Onoki were furious, it seemed Konoha proved superior again, those damn tree-huggers thought A looking at the results
Five genin teams meant preliminary fights, one free pass and seven fights to get eight finalists to show the villages might "Alright kids, this exams are a show for the people to see the each village's power, you are the next generation that will be doing mission for the next ten or twenty years so to show your full potential this are fights to the death, the first will be between…" said A to the genin gathered around
Mabui took a box with all their names on it, so Darui took a paper "Uchiha Sasuke" said before A's secretary moved the box and the black ninja came with another name "Omoi from Kumo" said Darui, so both genin moved to the fighting field to have the duel "greetings boys, my name is C and I'll be the preliminary proctor, you'll fight each other until one of you surrender, dies or until I say stop…in there is no questions?" both said a negative gesture with their heads "begin!" shouted the blond Jounin before getting out of the way
"Cloud-Style Crescent Moon Beheading" shouted Omoi before drawing his blade quickly and charging towards Sasuke who smirked, a kenjutsu fighter was something favorable to him; his Sharingan predicted all of his strikes and feints, so all what he needed was a kunai to dodge all Omoi's attacks and learn his patterns, this wasn't going to be Kumo's exclusive style
Kakashi was happy for his student, he knew Sasuke would copy the Omoi fighting style and adapt it for later use, B was also watching the fight cheering and raping for his student, who was getting annoyed for his inability to land a hit. Sasuke blocked Omoi's sword and went to the offensive stabbing Omoi's chest "Cloud-Style Deception Beheading" shouted the Kumo ninja using a Kawarimi-Kenjutsu combination that didn't fool Sasuke, he saw the kawarimi thanks to his Sharingan so there was no surprise at all, the Uchiha was getting bored of this "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique" said Sasuke throwing a fireball to his enemy who jumped aside
Sasuke was expecting this jump to he was there before his rival taking him by the wrist forcing him to drop his sword "Lightning Release: Thunderbolt" shouted Omoi as soon as the blade touched the floor, his hands were filled with electric spheres electrocuting his opponent, when Sasuke fell to the ground, he looked back to his sensei but the world around him went completely black before getting knocked out
On the surroundings, all the ninjas saw Omoi fighting the air while Sasuke looked at him with his Sharingan 'That damn eye…it caught him from the moment he did that replacement' analyzed A from the genin's fight "Uchiha Sasuke's the winner and the first finalist" said C after checking Omoi
"Now it's Kurotsuchi and Sakura's turn" said Darui with the names box, both kunoichi got into the field and after looking at their rival, the fight begun with the Iwa's kunoichi taking the lead "Water Release: Water Trumpet" shouted Kurotsuchi before a large jet of water was launched to Sakura's way, the pink-haired girl raised both glowing hands to block the attack 'She's using Kabuto's chakra scalpels' realized Kakashi looking at the fight
The copy nin went to Naruto asking for help, Sakura and Kuro were nowhere near Sasuke's level and he had no idea how to help them anymore, so the blond Hokage suggested some introductions, quite shocking introductions, Sakura was sent to Kabuto while Kuro went with Anko, after a week both were taking their careers seriously
Sakura was developing as a field combat medic, Kabuto lacked Tsunade's monstrous strength, but the gray haired kid used chakra scalpels to inflict even more damage, it was a internal damage very similar to the Byakugan, the main problem was the kunoichi physical ability (or the lack of it) she needed to get close to her opponent to hit him, and that was the main point of her training, that and healing techniques
Kurotsuchi was clearly a more experienced and talented ninja, she had years of training while Sakura just some months, so in the end the Iwa Kunoichi knocked Sakura with some earth jutsus, but the pinkette was able to put a fight
"Next fight is Neji from Konoha and Karui from Kumo" said Darui and the place got quite colder, the Kumo people felt something off from Neji, while the ninjas from Konoha knew the reason and were expecting to see his behavior "any kumo ninja fated to fight against me has his life to forfeit" warned Neji to the proctor who looked at him carefully
Karui took her blade and got her guard up, while Neji just assumed a low stance, C ordered to fight and the girl charged to the Hyuga quickly, but Neji wasn't a prodigy for nothing, he grabbed her wrist, twisted it and landed some strikes in both her arms, taking away her ability to mold chakra trough them, the kunoichi was frustrated, Neji was really fast, he moved in a blur and sealed all the chakra from his arms
She didn't expect this power difference with another genin, but she was no match for this guy and all she could do was her best effort "I'm not done yet" said Karui before taking out a short sword from her back and charging towards Neji "Cloud-Style Front Beheading" shouted, but instead of the dangerous electric blade she just made a quick slash, but despite that, Neji shouted "Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven" and the chakra rotating sphere threw her away, but before she could blink, the Hyuga was in front of her with an open palm "St-op!" tried to shout C but Neji was faster than him and delivered the fatal blow, tearing her hearth apart
C's first concern was Karui, so while A was furious with the outcome, his personal medic was trying to save the girl. B, Omoi and Samui went with her, but she had a heavy bleeding and no one could grow a hearth from thin air "What is your problem brat!" asked very loudly the Raikage from his place
Neji had the Byakugan active from the fight so his glare was kind of frightening "you were the responsible for my dad's death!" shouted back the young genin, making A's eyes widen
C declared Neji as the winner and warned everybody to pay more attention to him, so Darui took another couple of names "Akatsuchi from Iwa against Kuro from Konoha" said the black Jounin
Kakashi's last student, against one of the Tsuchikage's favorites, Kuro started throwing some weapons to his enemy, he even was able to cast the shuriken kage bunshin no jutsu dealing some damage to his surprised opponent, but the bug guy was a good doton user, first he used a golem to keep Kuro dodging and running instead of shooting his weapons, second he did another golem to use as a shield from the little weapon Kuro could fire while running away from the first earth release construct and third a last golem appeared from the ground to trap Kuro and forcing him to give up
"Next are Suzumebachi from Iwa against Rock Lee from Konoha" said Darui, and after both genin got in place, C instructed them to start "Leaf Whirlwind" shouted Lee before appearing right in front of the girl, who blocked the high kick with her arms, but took the full force of the low kick sending her away 'This kid seems interesting' thought A looking at Lee's body, specially his hands
'Come on Lee, show them your power of youth' wished Gai looking at his student hit the defenseless girl, the girl was from the Kamizuru clan, another insect-user clan like the Aburame from Konoha, but they usually preferred Bees over beetles, Suzumebachi used a special bee honey destined to restrict the movements of taijutsu users, but after Gai's authorization Lee's unlocked the first internal gate and his power skyrocketed, breaking the hard honey as nothing and delivering a hard kick to Suzumebachi's head that got her unconscious
"Now it's Ino and Tenten turn, both from Konoha" said Darui, making both girls face each other "Fight" shouted C making Tenten throw a lot of weapons, which Ino avoid with some difficulties, Tenten knew Ino was a medium to long range fighter too, so he tried to use her deadly aim to take her by surprise and force her into submission with a sword or mace, Ino tried to see the pattern behind Tenten projectiles, so when she was confident enough, she did a hand seal making the weapon-girl jump to avoid the yamanaka-jutsu to fall just closer to an exploding tag she left in that position a little earlier in the fight, Tenten cursed for being so careless and tried to counterattack before seeing Ino forming a square-like seal with both hands because now she couldn't move her body "Mind Body Disturbance Technique...success" said Ino looking at Tenten with a smile, she forced the girl to take a kunai from the ground and aim to her own neck before C stopped the fight declaring Ino victorious
"The final fight from the preliminaries is between Chouji and Shikamaru from Konoha" said Darui, making the friends look at each other, Chouji didn't want to fight Shikamaru and the Nara was feeling the same, none of them was too worried for the promotion but Ino and their moms could be a pain if they both gived up "The decision is up to you guys" said Asuma with a smile, so finally both were to the field and played rock-paper-scissors with Shikamaru winning the match, to the skeptic look from everyone 'are they for real?' asked himself A
"That means Uchiha Sasuke, Kurotsuchi, Hyuga Neji, Kitsuchi, Rock Lee, Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru and Samui will fight in the finals, that'll take place one month from now in the stadium, now go to your leaders and leave us" said A very rudely to everybody, he was still affected for the Hyuga guy, he clearly hated him and that would be a dangerous man, he was clearly talented and would look any excuse to kill any Kumo ninja crossing his way
….
..
All Konoha's ninjas were gathered in the hotel the next day, Naruto was already informed about the exams and even Neji's actions but he didn't do anything out of place so he just said to him to be careful with the rules
"Alright we'll staying here and the Raikage lent us a mountain to ourselves so we'll be able to train, everybody stays we came together and we leave together…anything weird happens and go with me, all of you know about the possibility of an attack so please don't try to be a hero stay behind me and we'll leave with the same people we came here" said the blond to the Konoha's group
Some days had passed away, the training in the mountains was hard and even the genin that lost in the preliminaries were training, Naruto had asked to everybody to get stronger, but in this moments said blonde was walking to Kumo's market when a man got in front of him
"Look what the cloud brought!" exclaimed Naruto in a mocking tone, looking at the person in front of him "It's been a while Naruto" said Itachi Uchiha looking at him with his red eyes, "It's Hokage-sama now" said the blond with a smile
When the Hokage sensed some chakra around Itachi's Sharingan, he quickly moved and put a hand on his forehead, Itachi's world went black for some seconds before appearing in a castle "This place has changed since last time" commented Itachi as if it was just some house furniture
"It's safer for your eyes to speak here" said Naruto to his old friend, before giving him a hug
….
….
Unfortunately, not everybody had a friend in Akatsuki, so Yugito got a not-so-friendly hug from Kisame, when the ex-Kiri ninja faced a jinchuuriki they tended to repeat the patterns, they used their natural abilities, then it was time for bijou enhanced natural styles, and finally bijou time at full power
Kisame knew he wasn't strong enough to overpower a bijou, but Samehada gave him the ability to disable most of ninjas, specially jinchuuriki so he didn't need to fight them for long, some shaved here, some shark there and now Itachi was distracting the local forces of Kumo while he took the jinchuuriki body out of the country by water
The Uchiha was an ANBU captain before going rogue; he used shadow clones and fireballs to keep defending ninjas busy while the real one watched the fights from afar
…
..
A was very angry…he couldn't believe Akatsuki would be so brash to take her jinchuuriki in his own village, and when he got there, he couldn't find none of the culprits
These exams were going quite bad, first his ninjas paled in comparison with Konoha's, second that Hyuga prick killed one of his brother's students and now Akatsuki stole the Nibi and took away one of his best Jounin
"Someone call B!" shouted A very loudly, his brother needed to be aware of this, and he was going to ask him to be harder with Samui, the busty Kunoichi was Kumo's only chance to show the village's might
…
Some day later, in a very far mountain
Kiba transformed in a giant flaming two headed wolf, this new form his fastest transformation and even with that, Naruto's shadow clone was faster than him "Focus Kiba…We told you how" said the original blond
At the start Kiba was like a blind killing machine, the two headed wolf form was fast and dangerous, but now Akamaru put the fire and Kiba had to focus on his opponent chakra signature
The Inuzuka charged again, Naruto's clone watched with interest while his student took a spiral trajectory making his attack unpredictable, but the biggest surprise was when the giant wolf split in two smaller ones, the original charged to the Hokage, making him move aside to get hit by Akamaru
…
..
Shino's turn wasn't so flashy or visually attractive, the Aburame wasn't a front combat ninja, sure he was a good fighter but he was an excellent disabler so with electrical bugs he was able to lure Naruto's clone into a trap and zap it away letting him pass that particular exam
….
..
That meant it was Hinata's turn, the previously shy Hyuga had flourished into an incredible woman, she was having a nice physical development and her ninja skills were increasing steadily
She stood on guard while Naruto's clone looked at her, one blink and she wasn't there; the mountain didn't let her use her eyes to get some advantage because there was nowhere to hide, but she was a good frontal fighter too
In the taijutsu match, Hinata and the Godaime's clone were exchanging strikes, blow per blow, surprising the original with her speed, the bunshin had one tenth of his speed, but that was enough to beat many jounins, soon the blond and young Hokage realized Hinata was extremely quick and agile in short spaces, her eyes and training gave her reflexes second to none, but in long distance or when you ran away, she wasn't so fast as the bunshin
When Naruto's replica tried a powerful wind blast, the Hyuga replied with the heavenly spin, protecting herself, but that was a dangerous move because when the technique ended, Naruto was right in front of her trying to strike her down with a fire powered kick, but suddenly the clones exploded "What was that?" asked Kiba surprised for the unseen attack
"Congratulations Hinata your water mastery is coming along nicely" said the original Hokage very happy for his students, meanwhile Shino looked very carefully to the battlefield and Kiba had absolutely no idea about what happened
"It seems Hinata saturated the water vapor around her with chakra while spinning and then used that chakra to strike some chakra points in the clone…Am I right?" explained the usually silent Aburame looking at his master who smiled and nodded
"Well guys, I'm very proud of you" said again Naruto with a bright smile on his face "You have become adult ninjas in my eyes now, I hope you keep improving every day without forget your bonds and principles, cherish your loved ones and be merciless with the enemy, the next test will be hitting the real me, but for that you can take some years to train" added Naruto before leaving his team to celebrate between them
….
..
It was midnight, the mountain was cold and dark but if you looked in the distance there was a small light at the top of the place, that light was the Godaime Hokage…
…while most people was sleeping before the great day, the third phase of Chunin selections exams, he was meditating and thinking about his talking with his old friend Itachi
Naruto liked to be in control of things, that was the reason he wanted to be Hokage, to be able to take the hard decisions because he didn't like when other people took them for him, and that was the reason behind his anger with the Sandaime Hokage for the Uchiha massacre, he wasn't a fan of the clan, most were arrogant assholes, but he hated being left in the dark
His meeting with Itachi brought some memories when both of them were Shisui Uchiha students, they were a force to be reckoned, and one of the first three man units because the kunoichi was a useless fan girl that Shisui sent to the academy and screw the rules, they were going to be a three man team and that was final, Itachi and Naruto's teamwork was flawless, so that made unnecessary the addition of another member
They stood as genin just for six months because in the Chunin selections exams hosted in Suna, both geniuses were promoted after giving up in the third phase finals, they bet all other genin but refused to fight each other
And not so long after, both friends took separated ways, while Naruto traveled with Jiraiya, Itachi trained to enter the ANBU and that was the end of Shisui's team, but both of them shared many fond memories from that time. Naruto knew Itachi was a powerful ninja, but he would never betray him, thanks to him he confirmed about the trap with the fake Akatsuki members that attacked Konoha in the invasion and the man who destroyed Suna, the powerful rinnegan wielder known as Pain, Itachi even told him about the masked man's involvement in the Uchiha massacre
Naruto was unsure what to do with some of the information, what good would make to announce the power of Akatsuki, what option was better the fear or the ignorance? The Hokage pondered about many topics, he had some training to do if there was the possibility of fighting any of the leaders of Akatsuki: one of them was a self-proclaimed god, while the other called himself Uchiha Madara
….
..
It was the big day, an incredible amount of people was in the stadium, and for the first time in many years, four kages (the only remaining) were together in the same place while the Raikage announced the start of the third phase, people was cheering and betting for their favorites while merchants, spies, ninjas and civilians from everywhere were waiting for the show
"Welcome to the final round of the Chunin selection exams, we'll start with the match between Samui from Kumogakure and Sasuke from Konohagakure" said A before the people start to shout and yell many things very loudly
Both genin went to the battlefield, Samui was angry with Sasuke for Karui's death, it may not be Sasuke's fault but she would take revenge in any Konoha ninja she could, and despite not knowing it Sasuke shared something with her, he wasn't happy either. His brother infiltrated Kumo to take one of their ninjas under their own noses, he couldn't believe his brother was so close to him and he was so far behind his level that he didn't even noticed it, Samui had absolutely no relationship with the incident, but Kumo ninjas were quite incompetent for not being able to capture him so he was going to show them they needed more power
C gave the finals instructions before jumping away, Samui started with a quick kenjutsu move, but Sasuke took a kunai from his pouch and blocked the attack, the girl was surprised to see the weapon in one piece, but the older ninjas realized it was a lightning coated knife.
Samui engaged Sasuke in physical combat, her combat style was a mix between taijutsu and kenjutsu and his sensei told him despite the great advantage the Sharingan gave to Sasuke, one of the weakness of the Uchihas was their own speed, their eyes were able to follow and see every movement, but their bodies usually weren't that fast so you had two options to exploit this weakness, the first was just being significantly faster than them, the second was being just a little faster and forcing to use chakra to enhance their physical speed, Samui was two years older than Sasuke, she was confident in her speed and experience, so engaging an Uchiha in taijutsu/kenjutsu wasn't a madness
Sasuke was being hard pushed, but his Sharingan let him fight at the girl's level, the people watching the fight was following it with interest it was a clash between Kumo's only ninja and Konoha's prodigy, the last of his clan
The woman knew this was a mental fight, if she wanted exhausting to Sasuke the kunoichi had to force him to make mistakes, the madder he was, the more probability of slipping or doing some mistake and getting the upper hand "Aren't you too young for this?" asked she underestimating him, but the Uchiha paid no attention "Well you are right…your brother didn't spare even little boys…maybe you were so useless than killing you would be a waste of time" said the Kumo kunoichi making Sasuke glare at her "You got it…it's personal now" stated the last loyal Uchiha
Samui had a problem, while she was faster than Sasuke; she couldn't see chakra so she never saw the Rai-kage bunshin coming until it was too late, the replica exploded stunning the busty girl then he jumped backwards and did some handseals
The Uchiha was seeing red, and instead of Samui his opponent was his older brother so he channeled lightning chakra on his right arm and charged toward the exposed girl with all his strength, C sensed something and tried to stop him, the Uchiha wasn't on his right mind…he wanted to kill Itachi and consequences be damned
C saw the Chidori on Sasuke's right hand and ran to him, he was a sensor and while it was faint, there was another chakra source emanating from Sasuke, a deeper and darker Chakra so he got worried for Samui and tried to intercept him, the Uchiha saw something and did just what his Sharingan told him, he bend to the left and tried to go on, but the Jounin grabbed his wrist
The main problem was his rage, because in his blind anger he tried to kill the person between him and Sasuke and that meant C, somehow Sasuke was able to expand the lightning blade piercing the jounin's stomach
A tense silence filled the stadium, Sasuke did something nobody expected trying to kill the proctor, and while it wasn't the first time a genin tried to attack the proctor, it was the first time someone succeeded
Sasuke was on his own world, he didn't realize what he did until the moment he felt the massive chakra coming from the Raikage, the man was like a giant chakra generator, just then he opened the eyes and saw his lightning blade piercing trough C's trunk, while Sasuke was a proud and stubborn ninja he felt true fear feeling that chakra, it was the same powerless feeling his older brother made him feel on that dreadful night
In that moment Kakashi remembered a talk he had with Naruto some nights ago…
Flash Back
Both of them were walking away from the rest of the Konoha ninjas, Naruto asked about his students because he was worried about the other two beside Sasuke, but after that Naruto shared some of his fears "Kakashi…I know this may be too pessimist…but if something happens and any other kage attack one of us…my order to all our ninjas is stay behind me" instructed Naruto with a serious tone
Kakashi knew Naruto very well, he wasn't so close to the blond but he was always looking and assessing from the distance, the copy nin knew Naruto inherited his father mindset he was a good and happy man, but he usually was three or four steps ahead than most people and that was what made them Hokage, they were always prepared for anything and if he was saying this, probably he had some kind of plan to kill any of the other Kages
End Flash Back
The people let out a breath they didn't realized they were holding when Naruto saved his genin, and the battle field was used by the most powerful men in the place, Naruto was looking carefully with one of his chakra spheres behind him, while A was showing is lightning armor, the Raikage was mad for all the bad things that had happened in this exams and couldn't think clearly
When Sasuke opened his eyes he saw Naruto's back and didn't even realize he was moved by someone else 'is this the difference?' asked himself 'The Hokage was the best friend of my brother and both are supposed to be closer in terms of power…but to face that frightening man…he must be…is he able to be more powerful than the Raikage?' questioned Sasuke mentally looking at the two facing kages
Soon all of the Konoha's ninjas gathered behind Naruto just as he instructed, because the blond knew no one else would attack them close to him, the only man bold enough to that was in front of him "If they think your back is so safe…let's show them what happens when I tear it apart" said A before flaring his chakra and charging to Naruto "Lariat!" shouted the big man making all the people fear for the Hokage and all his ninjas
Naruto stood on his place and when A charged towards his position he channeled a lot of chakra and blocked with his tonfas, he usually fought with ninjutsu, but when things were more physical he preferred tonfas, because they there chakra conductive and usually non-lethal
In this case they were ideal and everyone opened his mouths in surprise when A was thrown away after land his lariat, B was stunned…the Lariat was a demolishing move and the Hokage withstood it with a pair of tonfas, he didn't even moved back he held his ground against his brother "If you try another attack I'll retaliate" warned Naruto while A was standing from the place he landed after his opening move failed "My ninjas hear me…we're leaving this place now" stated Naruto in a loud voice, while he looked A in the eyes, the man was speechless because this was the first time his attack was ineffective like that, a lot of time ago Minato avoid him with superior speed, but his kid wasn't so fast he took the hit and somehow withstood it and thrown him away like if A was nothing
After the last of his ninjas was out of the village the blond spoke again "I hope you don't try to ask for the head of one of my ninjas, because there is thousands of people that saw you attack one of them and I really hope this is the last time…because if this happens again,I'll make sure it doesn't happen again" declared Naruto before leaving in a blur, Naruto was able to manipulate the wind to reduce the air resistance to his movement letting him use a high speed movement
