Chapter 6
"Let the preliminaries begin," the Third announced as he sat down.
The third test had consisted of actual hand-to-hand combat and the competitors had been chosen at random.
The first match was between Sasuke and a sound guy named Yoro. A temporary seal had been placed on Sasuke's cursed seal but they knew that it won't hold it back for long.
"Begin,"
At this Sasuke suddenly charged forward hoping to win this battle with taijustu. He aimed a swift kick at Yoro's head, which he dodged.
However he was unable to react quickly enough to dodge the following punch as he received the hit and stumbled back a few feet.
Recovering quickly the sound gennin charged forward and grabbed onto Sasuke's arm.
The black haired boy suddenly staggered breaking away from Yoro's hold.
"You can suck Chakra," he gasped.
"So you finally noticed," Yoro smirked as he charged forward again.
Sasuke reacted quickly as he put the last of his energy and kicked Yoro hard in the gut. The sound nin flew back into the wall and fell unconscious.
Kakashi quickly escorted Sasuke out of the arena as the not waiting for the judge announce Sasuke as the winner.
The next few matches were missed as Naruto decided to take a little nap.
Naruto woke up just in time to see the fight between Lee and Gaara. Lee, much to the blonde's surprise was actually able to get past Gaara's shield of sand but unfortunately still lost.
Gaara smirked at Naruto as Lee was carried out.
"Be patient, We'll have our fight soon enough," he whispered as the red head brushed past Naruto.
Naruto was just about to launch himself at the sand nin when he was interrupted by the announcement of the next match. "The next match is Uzumaki Naruto vs. Hyuuga Neji,"
"Forfeit," Neji commanded when both competitors had entered the arena, "There is no way you can beat a Hyuuga. Don't even-" Neji was however cut off as Naruto waved his words away.
"Just fight,"
Neji frowned but didn't say anything as he got into a fighting stance.
"Begin,"
Neji started it off by charging forward readying his 64-point attack. Naruto however just grinned and took the hits with a smirk.
"What?" Neji gasped when his best attack had absolutely no effect at all as Naruto began a series of seals. "You chakra is obviously sealed. How can you still perform chakra-" his surprise multiplied when he noticed the red balls of Chakra.
"That... that chakra is not yours...it's" Neji for once was at a lose of words. This was going against everything the Hyuuga had ever learned about a chakra. The dead last seemed to have two kinds of chakra.
Neji just stared as he saw the blond get closer. There was no time of react as the first attack hit him directly in the gut knocking him unconscious.
"Winner Uzumaki Naruto." The examiner announced as Naruto grinned and walked back up to the balcony.
Medic nins hurriedly carried Neji out not wanting to disrupt the exam as the examiner announced the next match, "Dareada vs. Shino,"
The Hyuuga groaned as he muttered something about another silent type as he made his way down to the arena.
"Begin,"
Without wasting any time Dareada charged aiming a kick as Shino's side. Dareada's eyes widened as a shield of bugs blocked his kick.
He quickly backed away aware of the chakra sucking ability of the bugs having faced many from his clan.
Dareada cursed mentally as he was forced to activate the byakugan under his henge. Once again he charged except this time he performed a few seals first.
But before Dareada could even reach his opponent Shino had collapsed. On him was a humongous bug.
"What did you do?" he gasped trying to stand.
"Simple. Those bugs feed on your chakra right. So if I make on of the bugs bigger it will take more chakra from and so on. Therefore eventually you'll run out of chakra," Dareada smirked as Shino lost all consciousness.
He quickly reduced the bug to its normal size before returning to the balcony.
Having won the last match of the preliminaries Dareada and the others headed out of the testing grounds all eager to train for the rest of the tests next week.
Naruto however decided to head toward the Hokage tower.
"Oi, old geezer. There's something I need to tell you."
"What is it Naruto?" the third asked not looking up from his paperwork.
"It has to do with the Atasuki," this brought the Hokage to pay attention, "You know that they split up about a year ago right?" the third nodded to show that he indeed had heard about that. "Well for the last year a group from the Atasuki had been attacking various villages in Fire country looking for a numu scroll,"
Naruto paused as the third paled visibly," I believe they are planning to attack the leaf real soon"
"Shit" the Third cursed as he began pacing around his office nervously, "And how do you know this?"
"Let's just say I have my sources but the important thing is that you raise Kohana's defenses especially since Orochimaru is probably planning something as well," with that the blond disappeared in a puff of smoke not waiting for Hokage to ask any more questions.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU TOLD HIM?!" Dareada screamed.
"I just told the him about the attack that they were planning. Sheesh," the blond muttered trying to calm his companinion down.
"YOU IDIOT! DO YOU KNOW HOW SUSPICIOUS YOU SEEM NOW. WITHALL THAT INFORMATION," Dareada's rant was interrupted as Itachi spoke up.
"He had already told the Hokage there is now point in screaming to him about it. Let's just prepare ourselves for the last part the exam. I think Orochimaru's going to do something then. We have to be ready,"
"Um okay," Naruto quickly agreed not wanting to deal with Dareada's anger at the moment, "So what's our training schedule?"
Itachi peered at Dareada as he finally calmed done and took out a scroll, "well for today we were planning to," she paused, a sadist grin appeared on his face, "have some fun with that furry friend of yours,"
