I can't stand it anymore. I can't help doing some author notes. But I don't want to address individual questions since not everybody wants to know what you wanted to know. Therefore I once again propose, as I did in chapter one, that you leave me your email so I can give you an answer. Sephy, you too.
EMAIL! And preferably on your comment, not in the box they tell you to put it. I hardly read that bit. (They send me an email so I'm not checking the review part of the site)
Finally, the day of the preliminaries came and the hokage summoned all participants of the exam to the room. 'You were right Kyuubi. It is this place again.'
'Learn to pick up little details and you will become a much better shinobi.'
Turning his attention back to the people at the front, "…those of you who feel you cannot or do not want to continue may disqualify yourself."
At this, Kabuto and a stone nin left with a lame excuse on the part of Kabuto. 'Something's wrong with him. He's in perfect health but he refuses to continue. If I remember correctly, he says he's taken this quite a few times and failed. Keep an eye on him, Naruto.'
'Hai.' Replied Naruto, as he followed the rest of the genin up to the top level to watch. The first match was Sasuke vs. a strange man from Kabuto's team. As the examiner allowed them to begin, Sasuke got into a fighting stance. Seeing the other man just waiting for him, he decided to take the initiative. Dashing forwards, he threw a couple of shuriken and started doing hand seals. As his opponent lazily blocked the projectiles with his kunai, Sasuke finished his jutsu. "Katon: Housenka no Jutsu!" Firing 5 flaming fireballs at his opponent, Sasuke dashed to intercept the evading genin.
As he caught up, the two combatants engaged in a taijutsu match. With the sharingan in use, Sasuke quickly gained the upper hand. Quickly, Sasuke's adversary was worn down and Sasuke leapt back to do a finishing move. As his hands moved through some seals, his adversary burst forward with surprising speed and caught him off guard. Kneeing Sasuke in the stomach, he proceeded to place his hand on Sasuke's chest. Immediately, the effects of the jutsu kicked in. Sasuke felt the chakra leave him and quickly used a kwarami to escape. The two fighters opted to stare at each other for a moment while they recuperated.
As the staring match continued, Sasuke's eye caught sight of Rock Lee. Immediately, he was inspired by a new idea. He would beat him at his own game. 'A close ranged fighter… I'll defeat you with taijutsu and prove to everyone who is superior!' Concentrating chakra to his legs, Sasuke burst forward with amazing speed and kicked his opponent upwards by the jaw before he could react. Following through with the same combination of attacks as Lee had used on him, he found himself under the older man's shadow. 'From here on, it's all original.' Following up with another series of attacks, Sasuke finished off the man with a kick into the floor. "Winner, Uchiha Sasuke!" announced the examiner.
With a confident smirk, Sasuke swaggered back to his spot on the top level. The next fight was announced and Shino walked down to meet his opponent, Zaku. Arrogantly, Zaku said, "Who's this loser?" To this, Shino said nothing. As the match began, Zaku immediately used Zankuuha against Shino. As the blast blew him into the wall, he broke apart into many bugs. Surprised, Zaku quickly looked around for the real Shino, dismissing the bugs as nothing but a nuisance. He saw Shino standing in a corner, just looking at him. Feeling angry at being tricked, he quickly unleashed another Zankuuha. However, this Shino broke apart as well and more insects crawled towards him. He ignored them and yelled out, "come out and fight! Stop hiding like a coward."
At this, Shino cleared his throat from his position, upside down attached to the underside of the upper level platforms. Enraged, Zaku turned to charge Shino, but he was beset by the bugs from earlier, which had crawled up his body and ate chakra from every tenketsu they could reach. Before long, Zaku succumbed to the draining effects of chakra shortage. "Winner, Aburame Shino."
Silently, Shino walked back to the top level. 'Whoa…what was that?'
'Probably a bloodline limit that allows him to control the bugs. He will be no problem for you, any bug that crawls on you can easily be dispatched by the blood.' Acknowledging this, Naruto turned back to the board. "Tsurugi Misumi vs. Kankurou."
And so the battles wore on. As Naruto watched with mild interest, battle after battle. The least interesting of all was Sakura's battle with Ino. 'And to think… I was so infatuated with her…She is so weak and overly obsessive about Sasuke. Disgusting.' Uneventfully, more matches passed. The only other eventful match was Shikamaru's match. 'Ingenious! That guy is so smart he doesn't need super cool jutsus!' Finally, Uzumaki Naruto vs. Inuzuka Kiba."
Snapping out of his daydream concerning a cute blue haired girl, Naruto jumped over the railing of the top level. With a yawn, Naruto shuffled to the middle, in front of Kiba. "Heh. I feel sorry for you Naruto, so I'll end this with one punch." That snapped Naruto out of his dream state. Infuriated, Naruto thought to Kyuubi, 'Tell me I can use my Tahatsusei Buki? Common… I need real battle experience and this guy's asking for me to try on him!'
'…how do you propose you cover up our training?'
'No one knows if I have a bloodline limit or not, so I'll just tell them it's a bloodline limit.'
'I just know I'm going to regret this…Fine. You may practice your new taijutsu on him, but no crippling or killing.'
'Of course.' replied Naruto. He turned and addressed the examiner, "Giving him disfiguring scars won't disqualify me right?"
Angry at being talked down to by the one who used to be the dead last, Kiba gave a growl and used his jutsu. "Gijyuu Ninpou: Shikyaku no Jutsu!" Without warning, he charged forward with great speed. Naruto just took the blow and skidded backwards, a little blood trickling from his lips. "Hmph. If that's all you've got, a hundred punches won't do you any good." Mocked Naruto.
"Stop acting cool, baka! You're bleeding from just one punch."
"We'll see. Tahatsusei Buki!" At his call, Naruto called forth his blood staff from his wrist. Shock and surprise were written all over the faces of all but Gaara, Sasuke and Sandaime. "This is my bloodline limit. Lets go!" yelled Naruto, as he charged forward, staff extended.
Kiba responded with two smoke bombs as he dashed forward to meet Naruto. Remembering Temari's trick, Naruto's staff turned into a large fan and he swung it in front of him, creating a large gust of wind. Although it was not a strong as Temari's, it did the trick and the smoke bombs hit Kiba and Akamaru in the face. While they were under the smoke, Naruto's weapon melted into a staff again, which Naruto swung horizontally through the smoke cloud sending Kiba into the wall. Akamaru, however, was too short to be hit and jumped at Naruto as soon as he saw him. Easily sidestepping the puppy, Naruto's staff became a dog catcher's net, which he captured Akamaru with.
"Akamaru! Give him back!" yelled Kiba.
"Give up then." Replied Naruto, calmly.
Blinded by rage, Kiba dashed at Naruto only to be knocked back by the butt of the net and have Akamaru thrown into him. As the pair stood up again, Naruto's weapon morphed once again to become extended claws a foot long each coming from the tips of his fingers. "Lets go Kiba. I'm waiting for my second punch." Taunted Naruto.
Kiba tossed a soldier pill to Akamaru, who's fur turned red. Quickly, Kiba did another jutsu, "Juujuin Bunshin no Jutsu!" Naruto raised an eyebrow at the two half human clones of Kiba. As the 2 Kibas crouched, Naruto did the same. As if some unknown signal had been given, all parties burst forward. "Gatsuuga!" called both Kibas as they executed their technique. Seeing this, Naruto made an immediate change of plans and blood flowed out of his wrists to cover his body. Just as they two whirlwinds of claws reached him, all the blood hardened into 3 inch spines spread out across his body.
By that time, it was too late to stop. As the cloud of dust from the impact disappeared, all there was to see was Naruto leaning on his blood staff, looking down at the battered, unconscious bodies of Kiba and Akamaru. Their hands and paws with deep gashes in them. "Winner, Uzumaki Naruto."
