"The second test is to retrieve these" Genma announced while holding out two colored scrolls from these Chuunins. On cue Ten Chuunins appeared in a puff of ninja smoke. "You may engage them in combat and only inflict minor injury to them or steal the scrolls which i highly doubt anyone can do.. The time limit is 48 hours. Once you have the scrolls head to the tower." Genma said while giving the signal to the chuunins to start. The chuunins then disappeared into the Training Grounds.
All of the other teams that pased the first exam went to their respective gates waiting for Genma to give the signal. The konoha teams were excited about this second exam since they would be going against strong Chuunins. Unknown to them a team from the Hidden Rain was watching them from afar. While the other foreign teams were in their gates ,the Hidden Rain Team were still standing around. "Oi You three better get to your designated gate, the exam is about to start." Genma said pointing to the direction of Gate 5.
The Hidden Rain Team all wore Sakkat and their bodies were hidden in a gray cloak. From under the sakkat one of the Rain-nins had blue skin , he also carried a large sword that was wrapped in bandages. The other rain-nin looked normal enough if it wasnt for the genjutsu he was using. From uder the genjutsu Uchiha Itachi watched his brother and his target Uzumaki Naruto. Their third teammate was the exiled chuunin Mizuki, he had joined the Akatsuki because he wanted revenge on Konoha and Naruto.
"Oi Itachi Do we kidnap the Fox Brat when the test starts?" Mizuki asked in a hushed voice. Itachi under his disguise shook his head.
"I want to see how far my foolish brother has progress before we kidnap Naruto" Itachi replied while Kisame fidgeted trying to hold his excitement.
A loud bang is heard signalling the start of the exam. The chuunins that were guarding the gates opened the padlocks and let the examinees in. Immediately all of the teams rushed in already starting their search for the chuunins.
Team 6 quickly took to the trees after the gates were opened. Naruto in the lead with Hinata on his left anf Gaara to his right. "Hinata-chan..activate your Byakugan and scout for any of the chuunins."Naruto said while he himself used his enhance senses to try and find any of the chuunins. Gaara stopped a for a few seconds and performed a set of handseals.
"Tajyuu DaiSan Shukaku no Me[Multiple Third Eye of Shukaku]" Gaara said quickly deploying the multiple yellow eyes into the air. Naruto nodded to Gaara and the three of them leaped higher into the air for a more good searching point.
"I have found one northwest of here" Gaara said pointing to the direction he just indicated. Naruto nodded while Hinata also stopped and said she found another one not far from where they were.
Naruto thought for a few minutes then said "Let's engage them both" He quickly created two clones and hadone the clones perform Henge to look like Hinata. Gaara created two sand clones one used henge to transform into Gaara's gourd while the other put the gourd on.
The clones then went after the northwest chuunin while the real ones went after the chuunin closest to them.
Upon reaching the area, Team 6 saw that the chuunin closest to them was non-other than Umino Iruka. Naruto smiled after seeing the first person to acknowledge him. Team 6 landed a few meters from Iruka who seem to already know that they arrived. "So you've come to obtain these scrolls?" Iruka said while holding the scrolls out for Team 6 to see. Iruka quickly pocketed the scrolls and quickly went into stance. "You'll have to defeat me to get these scrolls" Iruka said motioning for them to come and get it.
Gaara not wasting any time immediately released his sand and sent it towards Iruka. Iruka quickly evaded the sand by leaping up into a high branch. From there Iruka threw shurikens and kunais at Gaara. The kunais and Shurikens didn't even travel far since they just conncted with Gaara's shield of sand. Iruka quickly leaped out of the as an incoming kunai almos hit him from behind. The kunai was thrown by Hinata who had snuck up behind their former teacher.
Hinata leaped after Iruka engaging him in mid-air with a few punches and kicks. Iruka landed on the ground where he found that sand was crawling towards him. He quickly performed a set of handseals. "Katon:Goukakyou no jutsu" Iruka immediately blew a large fireball in Gaara's direction. The shield of sand stopped the flame but it turned the sand into glass. Gaara immediately shattered the glass looking for Iruka who had disappeared.
Hinata landed on the ground looking for Iruka when a hand shot out from underneath her. "Doton: Shinjuu Zanshu no jutsu!" Iruka's voice came as he pulled the Hyuuga Heiress to the ground. Iruka the leaped into the air but he was pulled back to the ground when arms of sand were holding him. A blur suddenly ran past him and reappeared right next to Hinata who had pulled herself out of the ground.
Iruka quickly looked in his pockets for the scrolls. "Looking for these?" said a voice that seemed so familiar to him. Iruka looked up to see a blond young man holding the two scrolls. Iruka then realized who the blond teen ,standing not far from him, was.
"Naruto!" Iruka yelled happily after Gaara had set him on the ground. Iruka ran to Naruto and gave him a brotherly hug. "Good to have you back Naruto!" Iruka said patting Naruto on the back.
"Thanks sensei.." Naruto said while trying to fight the urge to cry. He returned the pat Iruka gave him. Iruka smiled and said "Let's talk after the exam. You still have to finish. Meet me at Ichiraku when the second exam is finish" Naruto gave him a wide grin and replied with a loud yell. Hinata , Gaara and Iruka covered their ears from Naruto's loudness. iruka had missed Naruto's loud voice.
After obtaining the scrolls Team 6 began to move towards the tower, on their way there they met the clones which also had the scrolls. They kept the scrolls just in case they met anyone they know. Naruto then told his teammates that they should hurry up, giving them a foxy grin. Hinata smiled back affectionately while Gaara nodded knowing why Naruto wanted to be first.
Soon the three nins reached the doors of the Tower, they opened the sealed door and entered the dark room. As they stepped into the dark room the lights flickered on. They were met by a chuunin guard who asked for the scrolls. When Naruto handed the chuunin 2 sets of scrolls, he recieve a shocked expression. They were then shown to a room where they could wait for the arrival of the other teams. In the room Hinata immediately went to the bed to rest while Gaara sat on the chair. Naruto excused himself and stepped outside.
Outside Naruto took a stroll around the tower, he took his time in going around until he came to a kitchen. Smiling Naruto immediately raided the fridge for some food. He suddenly felt a familiar chakra approach him. Naruto took the food he needed for his team and began to walk back to the room. POOF Kakashi appeared right infront of him reading Icha Icha Paradise Volume 5. Naruto sweat dropped when he saw the signature of Jiraiya on the cover.
"Yo" Kakashi greeted, giving Naruto a small smile but his visible eye clearly not leaving the book he was reading.
"Hey Kakashi-sensei" Naruto greeted back while holding onto the fruits and sandwiches he was bringing back for Hinata and Gaara.
Both of them silently walked back to the room with Naruto in the lead. When they entered the room Hinata was sound asleep while Gaara kept on nodding off to sleep. Naruto laughed abit when he saw Gaara trying to keep away. "I'm back with food" Naruto said , tossing Gaara an apple. the apple was caught by Gaara's sand.
Naruto gently shook Hinata away while leaning close and whispering her name. "Hinata-chan..Hinata-chan I brought food" Hinata still half asleep quickly grabbed hold of Naruto's neck and pulled him close to her chest.
"My Naruto-kun" Hinata murmured while hugging Naruto close to her cleavage. Naruto was red as a tomato from embarrassment since Kakashi was watching..and a small trickle of blood was flowing down his nose. Naruto liked the position he was in but not with Kakashi and Gaara around. Naruto was gasping for air since Hinata had a really tight hold.
Hinata then snapped away and was finally aware of what she was doing. She blushed really hard and his her face under a pillow. Kakashi had to fight the urge from laughing out loud. Gaara meanwhile saw the whole thing also and for the first time Gaara grinned widely. Hinata felt really embarass about what she did.
"It's alright Hinata-chan" Naruto said while running his fingers thru Hinata's hair. Hinata hugged Naruto tightly and whispered an apology. Naruto just replied with a small peck to the cheek. At this Hinata's face turn as red as a tomato. A cough from Kakashi brought the couple back to earth.
"Congratulations on passing the second exam and also congratulations on being the first to arrive." Kakashi said , waiting for Naruto's reaction. As if on cue Naruto began dancing around and yelling as loud as can about being first. Kakashi chuckled lightly then said " You should rest until tomorrow." With those words said Kakashi made his exit disappearing in a puff of smoke.
"Well we better get some rest for tomorrow..Gaara you can have the futon and Hinata-chan You can have the bed" Naruto said while walking towards the couch.
"Naruto-kun you can sleep beside me if you want" Hinata said blushing as she said this. Naruto nearly fainted when he heard this but he quickly regained his composure and gave Hinata soft kiss on the lips.
So team 6 rested while the other teams made their way towards the tower. Night had fallen and only 4 teams had arrived. Team 6..Team 8 , Team 9 and The team from Hidden Rain.
The next day the remaining teams that arrived were Team 7 and Team 10. After the tower doors swung shut , the jounin senseis gathered the teams into the small arena.
Tsunade didn't bother saying the speech about the Chuunin exam is a replacement for a war since the teams that were present knew this already. So a chuunin stepped forward as referee. The chuunin has a really bored look on his face like he wanted to be somewhere else. Nara Shikamaru was going to be the referee for the prileminaries.
First Match: Sarutobi Konohamar vs Haruno Sakura
As the others went up the railing towatch the match, Naruto passed by Konohamaru and whispered something to his ear. Konohamaru grinned happily when Naruto finished whispering to him. Sakura meanwhile was kind of pissed off about his opponent when she suddenly notice Shadow Fang's eyes..they were blue.
'Where have i seen those eyes before?' Sakura thought but she dismissed it as Shikamaru started the match.
"Hey! Your that ugly bitch who use to be Naruto-niisan's Girlfriend!!" Konohamaru pointed out loudly. Sakura gritted her teeth and yelled back "That Idiot wasn't my boyfriend He was nothing!!"
Konohamaru's face suddenly went from aloof to a serious one. Konohamaru lowered his head casting dark shadows over his eyes. "I'll show you an Idiot..You ugly large foreheaded bitch" Konohamaru replied , secretly waiting for Sakura to fall into his trap.
After hearing the words Large Forehead Sakura blew up. She immediately pulled out a kunai from her holster and charge towards Konohamaru. She performed bunshin no jutsu creating two clones of herself. Konohamaru meanwhile pulled out the Iron Knuckles that Asuma had given him. He dashed forward meeting Sakura in the middle.
Both their weapons clashed making sparks fly. but Konohamaru used the two knuckles in blocking Sakura's kunai. Sakura used this chance and punched Konohamaru straight in the face. The force of the punch sent the boy tumbling backwards. "Shika the match is over" Sakura said while walking towards the stairs. In the background he could hear Team 6 and Konohamaru's teammates to stand up.
"Don't you turn your back from me" Konohamaru said as he pushed himself up. His face had a rather large red mark on his face, Konohamaru gritted his teeth then finally settled in a loose fighting stance.
Sakura quickly turned around and leaped at Konohamaru throwing Kunais and Shurikens at the boy. Konohamaru used his iron knuckles to deflect the attack and as Sakura neared him , threw a kick at Sakura's chest. The kick knocked the wind out of Sakura and made her spit out blood. Konohamaru quickly flipped backwards a few feet away from Sakura. Sakura got up her face full of rage. 'I won't lose infront of Sasuke-kun' She thought as she began to perform a set of hand seals while running towards Konohamaru.
Konohamaru not to be out done by Sakura quickly performed a set of hand seals. Konohamaru then said "Kakuremino no Jutsu![Magic Cloak of Invisibility Skill]" which made him instantly vanish. Sakura turned around trying to look for Konohamaru. She immediately heard something coming from behind her. What she saw really shocked her and cost her the match. She saw Sasuke coming towards her with the Chidori when in reality it was just Konohamaru. Sakura started backing away from Konohamaru while performing the Cancelation Technique. Her surroundings quickly changed back to normal but it was already too late.
"Magen:Narakumi no Jutsu [ Demonic Illusion:Vision of Hell]" Konohamaru said then quickly charged forward at the still standing Sakura. 'Thanks Boss for teaching me this jutsu' Konohamaru thought as he rammed his fist into Sakura's stomach. "Rai Ken!" Konohamaru's Lightning Fist immediately began its work on Sakura electricuting her to unconsciousness.
"Winner: Sarutobi Konohamaru" Shikamaru said while signalling the Medic Team to take Sakura away. From the railings Naruto smiled at the results of the fight. 'Figures Sakura still infatuated with Sasuke that she neglected her training.' he thought while he watched the few matches.
[The following fights are boring so ill just say who fought who and who won. also its troublesome to even write about Sasuke when he isnt being beaten up. So please forgive me in these parts]
Sasuke fought against Kiba and Akamaru. It was a short match Sasuke just used Tsukiyomi on Kiba to knock him out. Winner Uchiha Sasuke. From the railings Itachi smiled at Sasuke's development.
Shino vs Kankurou. their old rivalry finally concluded with Shino as the victor.
Udon vs Temari...udon was no match for Temari
Ino vs Moegi Ino used Shintenshin no jutsu to make Moegi give up.
Rock Lee vs Tenten Rock Lee faster than before easily dodges all of the weapons that Tenten throws at him and ends the fight with a single punch to Tenten's stomach.
Everyone was excited about the matches left since the only team left was Team 6 and the Team from Hidden Rain. Team 6 was excited was well since they could feel strong aura's from the Rain-nins. Naruto looked at the Rain-nins and notice something very familiar about the one with a huge sword. 'HHhhmm Where have i seen that before' Naruto thought while letting his gaze settle on the board that was jumlbing up names. The board finally stopped and it showed the next fighters.
7th Match: Hyuuga Hinata vs Mizu ofrom the Hidden Rain[Mizuki].
Hinata quickly went down the stairs where Mizu was already waiting.
"Do your Best Hinata" Naruto yelled from where he stood to watch. Kakashi meanwhile stood behind Naruto , his gaze on the match. Gaara just stared at the ring waiting for the match to start.
"Begin" Shikamaru said while taking a step backwards. Mizu immdately pulled out a large shuriken from under his cloak and threw it at Hinata. Hinata quickly dodged the shuriken by sidestepping to the right. The shuriken soared passed her and imbedded itself on the wall behind her. Mizu quickly performed a justu called Water Whip. He used the whip to capture Hinata and pull her towards him.
Hinata struggled to get loose from the whip but Mizu also used electricity on the whip electrifying her for a few seconds. Finally mustering up all of her strength hinata was able to get loose form the whip. She immediately chagred forward and began using the Hyuuga Style: Jyuuken on Mizu. Mizu evaded some of the strikes but Hinata was able to hit him on the lower abdomen and left side of his chest.
Mizu quickly used mutiple water whips on Hinata but with her Byakugan already activated. Hinata was able to dodge the whips with out any injury. "Stay Still you Wench!" Mizu said while using his water whips in trying to catch Hinata.
Hinata's facial features was then filled with rage. Noone calls her a wench and gets away with it. She then slid into the stance for the Hakke Rokujuu Yonshou. "You are within my Field of Hakke" Hinata said while gathering a small amount of chakra to her feet to increase her speed abit.
Neji smirked as he watch his cousin use the Hakke Rokujuu Yonshou on Mizu.
Hinata instantly attacked Mizu without any hesitation. With the added speed to her feet She was able to catch Mizu off guard.
"Two Hands"
"Four Hands"
"Eight Hands"
"Sixteen Hands"
"Thirty Two Hands"
"Sixty Four Hands"
The last blow sent Mizu crashing into the wall creating a crater on it. Hinata stood there waiting to see if Mizu will still get up.
After a few minutes Shikamaru's voice announced Hinata as the winner.
"Good Job Hinata-chan" Naruto whispered to her as she got back to the upper floor.
The board suddenly stopped at the name.....Shadow Fang vs Uchi Ita of the Hidden Rain..
Itachi smirked as he made his way down the stairs..while Naruto calmly walked towards the arena.
