Episode 21: Naruto's Ninja Test
2 days later
Naruto and the other Konoha ninjas were now seen standing in front of the gate of Suna. Naruto was now seen standing against of Gaara. Both boys looked at each other and chuckled. Naruto then said "Well, see you later grief brother."
Gaara simply nodded and smirked. Both boys then gave each other a hanshake and then Naruto left with the other Konoha ninjas.
A few minutes later, they reached Konoha and then Kakashi said to Kotetsu and Izumo "Team 7 , Team 8 and Naruto reporting after a successful mission."
Izumo then nodded and let them in. Later, they were at the Hokage's office to report to Minato who was acting as Hokage because Tsunade was in the hospital... unconcious... after that spar with Naruto.
As they got in, Minato then said "Ok, how did the mission go?"
Kakashi then said "Sensei you see, by the time we were about to save the Kazekage, Naruto already saved him."
Minato nodded meaning that he knew about Naruto doing such a thing. He then said "So Naruto, what were you thinking?"
Naruto simply said "Well you see, I really can't leave my grief brother."
Minato sighed and said "You do realise that you're registered as a Civilian right?"
Naruto just smiled and said "I'm better than that Ero-Sennin and I've beaten you in a spar. So, if that's not Ninja material then I wouldn't know."
Minato chuckled and said "Ok, how about this? You beat Kakashi, Gai, Zabuza, Anko, Yugao, Kurenai, Asuma, Raito and Haku without your Decadriver in a match then I'll consider registering you as a Ninja."
Natsumi looked at her father with a shock look and said "Tousan, are you sure?"
Naruto simply answered his sister's question by saying "Very well, if I beat all of them then I get to become a Jounin. How about that?"
Minato then gave himself a thought and said "Very well. By 5 o'clock, come to the Chuunin exams arena and have your match."
Naruto nodded while everyone else in the room looked at Naruto with awe. Minato then said "Alright, everyone dismiss and all of you will get A-Ranked payment including Naruto."
With that, everyone received their payment and left the office. Minato then gave himself a thought "Hmmm, why do I feel like Naruto will win? Maybe, it's because he has beaten me in our last spar. I'll see it soon."
Meanwhile with Naruto, he decided to meet up with Marvelous at the Uchiha compound to get to Sasuke's house. As he got there, Naruto was greeted by the scene of Marvelous and Fugaku playing Shogi. At first glance, it seemed as if Fugaku was winning but then Marvelous did a move and won.
Fugaku simply reacted by laughing at his brother and said "That was a good game, huh?"
Marvelous simply smiled back and said "Yeah it was. Oh hey Naru-Gaki."
Naruto shooked his head and said "If Tsukasa-touchan was here, he would've said "Hey, only Levi has the privilege to call Naruto that!" while Levi-jichan would have beaten you within an inch of your life."
Marvelous then widened his eyes and remembered bad memories. He then shooked his head while muttering "No more!" a bunch of times.
Fugaku sighed and said "So Naruto, why are you here?"
Naruto smiled and said "Well by 5 o'clock, I'll be having a Ninja test."
Marvelous who forgotten the memory, smiled and said "Well, what do you know? Your dream to become a ninja has a chance of being accomplished. How about that?"
Naruto shrugged his shoulders and said "I don't know. I mean yeah I don't mind being a ninja but what if I do become a Jounin in the end."
Fugaku simply said "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine. I mean, why wouldn't ya. You've beaten Jiraiya-Sama 3 separate times. You even killed Hisako who almost everyone thought that he was unkillable."
Naruto chuckled and said "Yeah I see. Hey Marvelous, would you like to play Shogi with me?"
Marvelous smirked and said "Bring it on!"
2 minutes later...
Marvelous was looking down in defeat. Because, the Shogi board shows that Naruto has beaten him.
Fugaku laughed at his brother's demise and went to the living room to get himself some green tea.
Naruto simply had a bored look and said "That wasn't fun at all."
Marvelous then looked at him and said "You think?"
Later, Mikoto came to them and said "Marvelous, lunch's ready and Naruto if you would like, join us."
Naruto simply nodded and said "Very well."
With that, Naruto had lunch with the Uchihas except Itachi who was on a mission and Sasuke who was having a date with Sakura at a Barbeque.
After lunch, Naruto looked at the clock to see it read "2.30" which meant he had 2 hours and half to prepare. With that, he thanked the Uchihas for the food and went back to his apartment to get changed.
Naruto got into a simple gray shirt, a pair of Anbu pants, his custom-made Scouting Legion coat and a pair of boots. He also equipped his 3dm gear and placed a mask (A/N: Kaneki's mask) on his face.
As he finished equipping himself, he looked at the time to see it read "4:59". With that, Naruto quickly Instant-transmissioned himself to the Chuunin Exams Arena.
As Naruto appeared, he looked around to see everyone were at the arena expecting a good match. Minato then announced "Alright everyone, this will be Naruto's Ninja test. If he beats his opponents, then he'll be awarded the Jounin rank."
With that announcement, every spectator in the crowd cheered for Naruto. Hinata and Natsumi then thought after the announcement was made "Naruto-kun/Aniki, Ganbatte!"
Kushina who was the proctor then appeared in the centre of the arena and said "Alright contestants, please get down to the arena so that we can get this going."
With that, Kakashi, Gai, Zabuza, Anko, Yugao, Kurenai, Asuma, Raito and Haku appeared in a Sunshin each in their own style.
As they appeared, Zabuza then said "Damn Gaki, I have to pay you for that bet now. Won't I?"
Naruto nodded and held out his hand to receive somekind of payment. Zabuza sighed and just placed 4000 ryo on Naruto's hand.
Anko shooked her head at her husband and said "It was your fault to agreeing to that bet."
Zabuza growled and said "Yeah-yeah, at least we still had young Kaimizu right, honey?"
Kakashi sighed and said "Zabuza, I know it's not my place to say this but you're acting out of character lately."
Zabuza then glared at Kakashi and said "Shut up Kakashi, at least I know who my children are."
Kakashi simply stiffened while Raito shooked his head and pat his father on the back to calm him down.
Gai then said "Enough, let us show young Naruto-kun the power of youth!"
Naruto chuckled and said "Kaasan, let's get this show on the road."
Kushina then nodded as everyone got into their ready position and shouted "HAJIME!"
With that, Naruto instant-transmissioned behind Kurena kicked her in the back of the head and she fell to the ground seemingly fainted.
Asuma looked at Naruto with a shock expression then charged at Naruto with his blades. Only for Naruto to take out to swords with gun handles to handle them.
Both then was locked into a sword fight but ultimately Naruto defeated him with ease.
Naruto did it by simply infusing his Ki into his swords and shouted as he jumped horizontally while spinning around;
KI STYLE: HEICHOU'S MAGNIFICENT SLASH!
With that, Naruto slashed towards Asuma in a spinning motion. Asuma tried to block and dodge some of the attacks but he did get some cuts here and there.
As Naruto finished his attack, Asuma fell on both knees and Naruto infused his Ki into his right foot then shouted;
KI STYLE : THIS IS SPARTA!
With that, Naruto kicked Asuma square in the chest and Asuma fell on his back seemingly passed out. A few snickers could be heard in the crowd.
As he did so, Yugao quickly got in front of Naruto and disarmed Naruto's swords. Naruto then used his 3dm gear and swing a few meters backwards to avoid her. Everyone in the crowd were simply amazed by the machinery.
Naruto then chuckled as he landed and said "Pierce through everything, Raito!"
With that, Naruto's Zanpakutou appeared on his right hand and he quickly grabbed it. He then quickly charged towards Yugao and both had a clash of swords. But once the swords clashed, Yugao's katana broke into pieces. Everyone looked at the action with shock.
As she looked at it with shock, Naruto quickly took the chance and shouted;
SHORYUKEN!
With that, Naruto gave her a flying uppercut to the chin-part of her mask. Yugao then went a few inches into the sky and fell back to the ground seemingly knocked-out cold.
As he turned around, he saw Anko got ready an attack. She then shouted "Katon: Goukyaku No Jutsu!"
She then blew a giant fireball towards Naruto, but he simply swiped his left arm while shouted;
FULL COUNTER!
The same ball of fire then went towards Anko. Anko then simply Kawarimi'd only to be punched in the nose by a recently Instant-Transmissoned Naruto and blacked out.
Raito and Haku then looked at each other and nodded. Haku then threw some ice senbons towards Naruto while Raito did some handseals, shot two fingers of his right hand outwards and shouted "Chidori Eiso!".
His fingers then shot a blue lightning beam towards the Ice senbons. Suddenly, the senbons were infused with lightning.
Naruto smirked at the at attack and shouted;
GETSUGA TENSHO!
Naruto then slashed his attacks towards both Raito and Haku dispelling some Ligtning infused Ice senbons along the way. As Raito and Haku got hit by the attacks, both of them then flew into the wall and dropped to the ground with Haku laying on top of Raito knocked out. Which everyone who knew about their relationship found it cute.
Gai then shouted "Dinamikku Entori!" and gave Naruto a Chakra-infused kick in the facemask.
Naruto didn't feel much pain but when he saw the condition of the mask, he simply got into his Ansatsuken stance and shouted;
TATSUMAKI SENPUKYAKU
Gai was then repeatedly kicked in the face. As Naruto finished his attack, Gai was seen on the ground but he was on one knee in pain.
Naruto looked at him and said "Next time, don't kick me in the mask." He then did an Enzuigiri to the side of the head of Gai and Gai fell to ground out cold.
Naruto turned around yet again to see Kakashi and Zabuza doing some handseals and shouted "Katon / Suiton: Karyu Endan! / Suiryuudan No Jutsu!"
Then, a fire and water dragon appeared and charged toward Naruto.
Naruto smirked and cupped his hands. He then said;
KA-ME-HA-ME-HA!
He then shot his hands towards the dragons and a blue beam appeared from his hands. The blue beam then dispelled both Dragons and hit Zabuza in the torso. Zabuza then was seen flying into a tree... Rip tree.
Kakashi then flared his Sharingan while Naruto shouted;
KAIO-KEN!
With that, both men charged into each other and had a battle of fists for a few seconds up until Naruto punched Kakashi in the place that never shines. Every man in the crowd groaned in pain by the action.
Naruto then flicked Kakashi in the head and Kakashi was then seen flying into the same spot that Zabuza was at knocked out.
With that, the spectators cheered while Kushina announced "Winner: Naruto!"
Minato then Hiraishined in front of Naruto and said with pride "On this day onward Naruto Kadoya, you are a Jounin but you are allowed to continue being a Cameraman."
Naruto simply nodded and Minato gave him a Hitai-Ate. Naruto gladly took it and wrapped it around his right bicep.
Kushina had one thought in her mind;
What A Crazy Turn Of Events!
Andd that's a wrap and hopefully you enjoyed that. Naruto is now a Jounin and still a cameraman how about that? Now, stay tune for the next episode.
