Dual Blood
Don't Own Naruto...
How many times do I have to tell you that?
#9
Naruto relaxed on the tower's rooftop with his legs and arms crossed, eyes closed and head dropped on his chest. To many, he appeared asleep.
"Naruto?" Sakura asked pushing her head out of the door.
"Yeah?" Naruto replied.
"The fifth day's done. Everyone is gathering," Sakura informed him. Naruto lifted his head and then calmly stood up stretching his joints. From training Sakura in some
basic jutsus and teaching the classic tree climbing exercises plus his own training, He had precious little time to sleep.
"Let's go," Naruto said as he headed down.
Naruto stood patiently as the Hokage explained that there would be a preliminary tournament to decide who would get to participate in the actual tournament also known as the third exam.
"Does anyone wish to quit?" The Examiner, a sickly looking ninja Hayate asked tiredly. Kabuto raised his arm and quitted.
'He smells like a snake,' Naruto thought before Hayate continued to explain the rules. The board appeared and the first match was determined. Uchiha Sasuke versus Akadou Yoroi.
"All others please head up to the second level to watch and await your match," Hayate instructed. Naruto walked up and leaned against the railing to watch the fight.
"Get him Sasuke!!" Sakura yelled, back to her normal self, Sasuke's fan girl .
"It'll be a good match to see," Naruto said, "His opponent has a strange aura around him,"
"Eh?" Sakura asked.
"Never underestimate an opponent, remember…" Naruto said, "The Curse Seal is acting up too. The idiot wouldn't let anyone look at him,"
"What?" Sakura asked. She turned to watch as the match started. Yoroi threw three shurikens which Sasuke deflected straight back. He charged in at the same time making hand seals as he did so.
"Katon Goukakyuu no Jutsu!"Sasuke yelled as he blew out a ball of fire at Yoroi who jumped out of the way.
At the second level Naruto noticed black markings starting to surround from the curse seal. Sasuke held himself up as he covered the seal with his hand.
"Where did he go?" Sasuke asked. Every time he tried to use his Sharingan over the past few days the curse seal activated.
'Above you,' Naruto thought as Sasuke rolled out of way as Yoroi smashed his hand through the ground creating a small crater.
'Strong,' Naruto thought. Sasuke grabbed Yoroi's arm in an arm lock in hopes to break the soundnin's arm, who didn't struggle as he turned his arm and grabbed Sasuke's shirt. The Uchiha heir felt a strange sensation. Yoroi back fisted Sasuke and escaped the hold. He then grabbed Sasuke by the head.
"Osmose no jutsu," Naruto whispered, "At least…"
"What is he doing to Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked confused.
"He's sucking out Sasuke's chakra," Naruto whispered, "He can't withstand much more. Only one more shot at this rate," Sasuke kicked Yoroi away but his strength was giving out.
"Hey Sasuke! If you lose this fight, I'll lay down a beating on you worse than Lee did!!" Naruto yelled 'encouragingly'
'Idiot,' Sasuke thought, 'I got an idea,'
"Hey Lee. Watch that," Naruto said.
"What? No way!!" Lee yelled as Sasuke delivered a vicious vertical side kick sending Yoroi up he followed his opponent right behind and appeared behind him.
"I'm going original from here on," Sasuke said as he pushed off his victim's back.
"A change," Naruto said as Sasuke executed the newly named Lion Combo or Shishi Rendan. Kakashi appeared behind Sasuke when he was declared victor.
"Awesome Sasuke!" Sakura yelled as Sasuke coolly walked away. Naruto could see Yoroi had absorbed a lot of chakra.
"That was pathetic," Naruto stated as he walked to the nearby wall and sat down against the wall, zoning out mentally. He could faintly hear blasts and screams from girls.
Sasuke sat in the middle of a ring of seals and marking. He was dressed only in his drawers as his sensei finished the last of the blood seals.
"Whoever made this fire seal was good, but this seal I'm about to put on you will merge with the Fire Seal. It's strength will depend on your will power," Kakashi explained, "Fuuja Houin!" with that he slammed his palm onto Sasuke's seal. The markings wrapped to form a seal around the curse seal. Sasuke collapsed. A sinister laugh echoed through the halls and the jounin went into high alert.
Orochimaru emerged from the shadows.
"You," Kakashi cried.
"I wanted to see my beautiful curse seal," Orochimaru stated, "I see you grown. Being able to use a sealing jutsu,"
"So you're after Sasuke?" Kakashi asked.
"No. He's simply a step to what I want. The Sharingan is great but there's someone who is so much better," Orochimaru stated.
"Naruto!?"
"The kid who wields the Sharingan and the legendary Red Cross bloodline with the almost mythical Ryu contracts. I can easily undo that fool's seal and kill the Kyubi and taking over the boy's body," Orochimaru said, "All I need is the Sharingan,"
"Fight Sharingan with Sharingan," Kakashi afirmed.
"He has my beautiful curse seal but he refuses to use its great power," Orochimaru said mock sadly.
"Naruto has a Curse seal?" Kakashi asked completely stunned.
"Your old friend Kai was able to rid him of it with the Ryu contract but I killed him for destroying my beautiful seal," Orochimaru said casually, "The two will come to me. Sasuke will come to me for power and Naruto will come to me for revenge," Orochimaru grinned sinisterly as he disappeared into the shadows.
Naruto opened his eyes to see the Sound-nin with that sound blaster being carried off with his severed arms on top of himself.
"Ouch," Naruto commented, "Sakura. You're up,"
"What?"
"Next is Sakura against Tenten!!" Hayate announced.
"She's a weapons expert," Naruto stated as Sakura made her way down.
'Let's see if that training paid off. Tenten is tough,' Naruto thought as two Chuunins appeared behind Naruto. Naruto turned around to look at them.
"What do you want Hikari? Takeru?" Naruto asked. Hikari was Sakura's mom and Takeru was Tenten's father. Teammates and or bitter rivals depending on the time.
"I'm here to see my daughter go onto the next round," Takeru said.
"No way!! My daughter is going on!" Hikari yelled. The two argued with Naruto's back turned to them. Sakura and Tenten sweat dropped as they noticed their parents arguing. Naruto made a few seals.
"Guys?" Naruto said as he held up his hand. The two turned around as feathers came out of his hand then they fell asleep.
"Eh... Thank you. We may continue now," Hayate said, "Begin," Sakura made a series of seals as Tenten pulled out and threw a couple of kunais.
'She's not scared,' Tenten said as Sakura continued to preform the seals. The kunais came at her they bounced off a wall of air.
'Wind barrier,' Naruto thought to himself.
"Go Sakura!" Hikari yelled.
"Tenten! Show her what you can do!!" Takeru yelled. Naruto groaned he repeating the same seals making two adults drop to the ground for the second time he then proceeded to rub his temples.
"Now!" Sakura yelled as she did the finishing seal. Tenten had been distracted by the two cheerleader parents and the air around ring started to wrap. The idea behind this genjutsu was to cause one to lose their sense of balance. Naruto was immune since he was the one who taught but others were not as fortunate as he saw looking around him.
Chouji looked ready to lose his many lunches and snacks, Ino was screaming as she pulled down her skirt 'She must be thinking she was upside down or Something', Shikamaru seemed to be unaffected too.
Neji was unaffected and so was Lee else the yells encouragements at Sakura was Lee's version of freaking out. Team 8 for the most part seemed unaffected as well, but Hinata showed some signs of worry. Naruto turned to Tenten. She had somehow had two chained wrapped around her arms and weighs attached at the end with her eyes were closed.
'In true this isn't barely 10% of what this genjutsu could do but with Sakura's small reserve it's the best she can do. A genjutsu that works by sight,' Naruto thought as he made a kai seal and the illusion lost it's effect. Sakura charged at Tenten with a kunai in hand.
"Take this!" Sakura yelled thrusting her kunai at Tentenwho opened her eyes and whipped out of the chains which wrapped around Sakura's armed hand. She pulled on the chains and punched Sakura's face. The genjutsu was shattered as Sakura bounced off the ground then pulled herself into a roll. Sakura ended up on her feet to be welcomed by a storm of kunai, she ran to evade them but two kunais with a string wrapped themselves around Sakura's hair and pinned her to the wall by her hair. She screamed as shetried to release her hair.
"I charged the string so it'll stick onto your hair," Tenten said as she pulled out five more kunais.
"Girls nowadays try to be girls but they forget one thing. We're ninjas. We're warriors not normal teenagers," Tenten said as she reeled back, "We don't have the time to take care of our hairs all the time and look pretty," Sakura listened as she tried to think of ways to get out.
"This is it!" Tenten yelled as she threw the kunais. Sakura pulled out a kunai of her own did what no one expected Pink hair flew everywhere as She rolled out of the kunais' path. Sakura thought back to her training. The last skill Naruto showed her but didn't let her practice.
FLASHBACK TO YESTERDAY
"What I'm about to show you is very simple and the results may be powerful,"
Naruto said, "But it's a last resort ok? It doesn't work for a lot of people,"
Naruto showed her three seals then finished with a release seal.
"Don't practice it ok? Save it for when you need it. A last resort if you will. Not everyone will be affected by your genjutsu and the wind barrier is weak," Naruto said. Sakura nodded.
"This seems like a good time to try it out," Sakura said as she did the seals,
"Kai!" She was surrounded by a vortex of chakra.
"What is going on?" Tenten yelled.
"Showtime," Naruto said as the vortex disappeared. Sakura stood up. Her upper body was limp, but slowly she rose up like she was rising from the dead. Two words appeared on her forehead for a second then disappeared as Sakura tied her headband over her forehead.
'Inner Sakura,' Naruto thought. Sakura looked at Tenten with changed eyes.
"Hahhahahaha! I'm out! Now for you! You made me cut my precious hair!" Sakura yelled manically and charged with high speed at Tenten with a kunai in hand. The black haired kunoichi barely had time to block the attack. Sakura continued to pushe Tenten back.
'How did she get so strong? What was that jutsu? It was simple seals. I think I could copy it,' Tenten sidestepped Sakura. She remembered the seals and tried it.
"Kai!" Tenten yelled She opened her eyes to see Sakura's fist as she smashed it into her face.
'That jutsu didn't do a thing,' Tenten thought as she wiped the blood form the corner of her mouth.
'Time for my best technique, Soushouryuu,' Tenten jumped back a bit as she hit Sakura with a double kick. Sakura was knocked back a few steps back. Tenten threw a kunai with an explosive tag on it. It blasted Sakura into the wall. She quickly pulled out her two scrolls and drove them into the ground. She made her hands seals fast. A cloud of smoke appeared then took the form of dragons.
"Soushouryuu," Naruto stated. Tenten jumped up and started to produce weapons from the scrolls. Sakura was starting to recover from the kick.
"Take this!" Tenten yelled as the weapons threw at her.
"No way. Kawarimi no Jutsu!!" Sakura yelled and a cloud of smoke engulfed her then Ino appeared. Ino screamed.
"Oh shit," Tenten said as she diverted the weapons away from Ino.
'Sakura switched up those basic jutsus,' Naruto thought as 'Ino' jumped at Tenten who looked around for Sakura. Ino exploded and out of the smoke Sakura came out.
"What the?" Tenten yelled. She pulled her strings. The weapons headed for Sakura. Tenten used the string to tie up Sakura's arms. Sakura reeled back her head.
"Take this!" Sakura yelled as she drove her forehead into Tenten's forehead. The weapons struck Sakura from behind. The two started to fall. The weapons disappeared.
'They're both knocked out,' Naruto thought as the two hit the ground. Hayate checked them both.
"Both contestants have been knocked out. Neither one will move on!" Hayate yelled. Naruto jumped down and calmly picked up the two girls then jumped back to the balcony.
"They'll be ok," Naruto said as putting them down. Naruto held up his two hands as chakra came out of his hand healing their injuries.
"Next are Inuzuka Kiba and Uzumaki Naruto!" Kiba let out an excited yell.
"We'll kick your ass!!" Kiba yelled. Naruto chuckled at this.
"What is he talking about Naruto?" Ino asked.
"I met a lot of people who said that before," Naruto said. Nearly every Jounin's attention peaked at the mention of Naruto's name. Kiba jumped down to the arena.
"Get down here so I can kick your ass!!" Kiba shouted. The blonde genius grabbed the railing and did a handstand on it he 'walked' down from the balcony holding onto the railing. Kiba growls were getting louder and louder. Naruto finally reached the ground and took a loose fighting stance.
"Begin," Hayate said.
"Quad no jutsu," Kiba said as he crouched down and charged at Naruto with his arms and feet. Kiba lunged at Naruto with his arms out to strike. Naruto side stepped Kiba with a lightning quick move.
"Tag," Naruto said playfully as he slapping Kiba's back who crashed into the ground.
'That was a tap!' Kiba thought as he got up. Naruto cracked his knuckles a bit.
"Ready for more?" Naruto asked.
"Akamaru!" Kiba yelled as he charging at Naruto,
"Smoke bomb?" Naruto thought as Kiba threw something at his feet.
"That tactic won't work," Asuma stated.
"What? It worked a lot of times," Kurenai said.
"Naruto is best known for his reaction speed. Kiba may have a higher speed but it's nearly impossible to actually strike Naruto without him blocking or parrying," Gai added, "I tried to sneak up on him and he hit me,"
"You're kidding me right?" Kurenai stunned asked. Akamaru flew out of the smoke like a dog bullet into the wall.
"Don't try to send a dog to do your job. Wind slash," Naruto said as a gust of wind blew the smoke away. Kiba was able to grab Akamaru before the attack reached them. The wind made a gash on the wall like that of a giant claw.
"Akamaru. Eat this," Kiba said to the dog under his arm.
"Hurry up," Naruto said as he put his hands behind his back and pulled out two metal spheres.
"Juujin Bunshin!" Naruto watched as two beast-Kibas appeared.
"Shikyaku no Jutsu!" The Kibas charged at Naruto on all fours. Tenten and Sakura had woken up from their battle and were watching the fight.
"Eat this," Naruto said as he threw the spheres at Kibas.
"Naruto uses Bombs too?" Tenten asked. A thick cloud of smoke engulfed the arena. Naruto used his sense of smell to go after Kiba.
"You're mine!" Naruto yelled as he reeled back his fist but he saw two Kibas. The two shoulder checked Naruto into the wall.
'They're faster than me,' Naruto thought, 'But I shouldn't have dropped my guard so much to test their strength,'
"Smoke without a smell? Our noses are a 100 times better than any humans," Kiba said, "Let's finish this,"
"Supreme Beast Human technique! Piercing fang!" Two Kibas turned into spinning horizontal tornados. Naruto's lips curled up in a grin.
"Supreme technique eh?" Naruto asked as he made a few seals, "Firewall!" Naruto put his hands on top of each other and slammed them into the ground. An inferno exploded from it around Naruto who threw a metal sphere into the inferno.
"A Fire bomb?" Tenten stated.
"What?" Sakura asked.
"They are these new bombs called Fire Bomb. They react with heat for different effects," Tenten said.
'These spheres will cause the fire to emit a strong smell of burning flesh,' Naruto thought to himself. The real Kiba stopped but Akamaru couldn't and went through the wall. The smell was so intense that Kiba dropped to the ground screaming for his eyes. Akamaru howled and transformed back to it's dog form.
"Spiral blade time," Naruto said, "Kage bunshin!!" Five Naruto appeared around the 'dog-boy' as Kiba shook off the smell.
"What did you do with that smell?" Kiba's muffled voice yelled as he opened his eyes and got a close up of Naruto's fist. Kiba's head whipped to the side to be the receiving end of three Bunshin's Initial Lotus kick. Naruto jumped off with a boost of the punch bunshin.
"Spiral Blade!!" Naruto yelled as he started to spin with his right leg out like a buzz saw. He connected with a vicious axe kick into Kiba's face. Hayate walked over to Kiba and checked him.
"Winner! Naruto!" Hayate yelled. Naruto jumped back to the balcony in one jump.
'He could have overpowered Kiba at any time he wanted. How powerful is he?' Neji thought.
"Next match is Hyuga Neji vs Hyuga Hinata," Hayate announced. Once against everyone's attention was gathered again.
'Shit. Main family and branch family shit,' Naruto thought as he leaned against the railing. Neji made his move down calmly but Naruto could feel the hate coming off him. Hinata nervously made her way down.
"Get him Hinata!" Naruto encouraged, "Don't' let him play mind games with you!"
'What the? How did he know I would try and break her?' Neji thought.
'Hyuga geniuses are so predictable. Attack mentally and emotionally first. Break down the person so they can't fight at their full potential,' Naruto thought as he leaned against the railing.
'Thank you Naruto-kun,' Hinata thought as she got into fighting stance.
'I'll crush her anyways,' Neji thought.
"Let the match begin!!" Hayate said. Hinata exploded at Neji with an avalanche of attacks. Neji was surprised with Hinata's initial burst of speed.
'She used the base idea of the Fire Bullet that Naruto taught her. Gathering chakra at a point in the body and letting it out in a burst,' Hatch thought as he watched. Neji was being pushed back by the strikes. Each strike Hinata exploded with a speed boast.
Naruto chuckled.
'Neji didn't expect Hinata's strikes to be so fast. She is bursting out chakra from her shoulders so her arms will hit faster and harder,' Naruto thought as Hinata pulled back for a finishing move. Neji grinned.
'Shit. He was holding back,' Naruto thought. Neji ducked over Hinata's finishing strike. Neji connected with a palm strike to Hinata's stomach and ran by her as he pressed points into Hinata's arm. She rolled back her sleeves quickly and saw Neji's handiwork.
'I can't lose here,' Hinata thought in panic. She looked up at Naruto, 'Not in front of him,' Naruto suddenly gave her the thumbs up and mouthed 'use it'.
'I won't lose here,' Hinata thought as she focused her chakra into her right arm.
"Your chakra points have been sealed," Neji stated.
'The Fire bullet. It will force chakra out even if the point has been sealed,' Hatch thought as Hinata's arm erupted in chakra flames. She charged at her cousin.
'What's this! This is impossible!' Neji thought as he charged his best technique.
"Hogan!" Hinata yelled as a blast of chakra exploded from her shoulder blade sending her at Neji with incredible speed and force.
"Kaiten!" Neji yelled as chakra surrounded him. He spun around and repelled Hinata's attack she crashed into the ground and stopped moving. Neji stopped and marched over to her, He grabbed Hinata's collar and pulled her to her feet. He pulled back his hand.
'He's going to kill her!' Hayate thought then yelled, "This match is over!" Neji's hand blurred down at Hinata.
Next thing they saw was Naruto without his jacket. His right hand holding Neji by the throat and his left hand holding Neji's hand. Hinata looked at them. The Jounins present sensed it. Hinata saw Naruto's chakra and Neji's chakra taking forms. A phantom tiger around Neji and Naruto had a phantom dragon wrapped around him but there was something else, A giant shadow was cast over Naruto.
"Don't you even dare," Naruto growled.
"Special treatment for the Main family I see," Neji said.
"I don't give a damn about the Hyuga family crap," Naruto said, "Hinata is a friend, like you would understand that," Naruto threw Neji back then turned his attention to Hinata.
"You ok?" Naruto asked.
"Gomen," Hinata whispered.
"You shouldn't be sorry. You did your best and you should happy with it," Naruto said. Hinata made a weak smile as she slipped into unconsciousness. Naruto held up his hand and pass it over Hinata. Her wounds and injuries healing fast.
"Two losers trying to think they're great," Neji said, "I heard of you. Naruto Uzumaki. Dead last of his graduating class. Your team was wiped out. You are a weakling. Your compassionate is a sign of weakness," Naruto's body shook bit by bit with Neji's talking.
"Stop Neji," Gai whispered.
"Your shaking shows how weak you are," Neji said.
"That is it!!!" Naruto yelled as he whipped around. His hands were a blur as he made seals, "Kage deat.....," Gai grabbed Naruto around his mid section as Kurenai and Asuma grabbed his arms. Kakashi held Naruto around his mouth and neck.
"Clam down Naruto," Kakashi said. Naruto was engulfed in a cloud of smoke and the Jounins found they were holding a log.
"What the?" Kurenai asked. A dropping noise alert them to Naruto. Naruto stood up. His face was one of seriousness and anger.
"That wasn't smart Neji," Gai stated. Neji treated the comment like it was trash as he made his way up the stairs. Hatch stepped into his way to the balcony.
"Out of the way Hatch," Neji said.
"You know who was part of Team 6?" Hatch asked.
"They're dead so who cares?" Neji said. Hatch's punch wasn't expected. Neji was knocked to the ground. hard.
"They're not all dead," Hatch stated coldly as he turned on his heels and headed for Naruto. As Hatch passed him he talked.
"If you fight promise me you'll crush him," Hatch said. Naruto, his eyes were closed, nodded his head. Everyone around Naruto stayed away. Everyone could almost taste the anger coming off the boy.
"I'm going out for a bit," Naruto said as he turned and headed for the outside.
Naruto took in a breath of fresh air as he unnerved himself.
"You seem on edge lately," Haku said.
"How can you tell?" Naruto asked.
"Your hair. It's spiky because of the amount of chakra in your body. Even the hair on the back of your neck is on end," Haku stated. Naruto laughed a bit.
"I know about your past with Gaara," Haku stated.
"Who else does?" Naruto asked.
"All of the Genins," Haku said, "Hatch Hyuga was crippled while on mission to the sand as part of a political escort with Naruto and Kai. Hatch took part of a battle with Gaara of the sand and his leg was crushed beyond repair and his other leg's muscles were snapped beyond repair too,"
"And his teammate Naruto Uzumaki attacked Gaara. The first time Gaara ever had trouble with a ninja," Naruto stated.
"You nearly caused an incident when you were at the Sand," Haku said, "Here's an idea. Fight in the Chuunin tournament until you face Gaara. Beat him then and come on in. The matches are still going on," Haku closed her eyes for a second then opened them find Naruto nowhere, She turned around to see Naruto half way to the door.
"You have got to show me how you do that," Haku said, "Go to the rest area and stay there. Hokage's orders. We'll call you for your next fight,"
"Like I said. I walk away simple as that," Naruto said as he headed down the stairs, "I'm going,"
Naruto leaned over the table as he tapped the notebook with the pencil in a fast pace. He suddenly heard screams and could almost taste the panic and tension in the air. It was a familiar mix. Naruto's memory of his first visit tothe Sand came up.
"Shit!!" Naruto yelled as he ran out of the room and quickly into the arena. He stopped to see Lee being carried on a stretcher.
"What happened?" Naruto asked. He saw Lee's right leg and arm's bones were crushed.
"Gaara and Lee fought. Lee used the extreme lotus but it didn't help him in the end. Gaara crushed Lee's arm and leg. The Extreme Lotus destroyed his muscles. No one in the medic-Nins can do anything for Lee," Haku said.
"GAARA!!!!!" Naruto yelled. Naruto turned to jump but he found ice wrapped around his ankle. The ice was Haku's eternal ice. Even Naruto couldn't break it. He yelled as he tried to pull away.
"Calm down Naruto," Haku stated, "Don't make me cool you down," For Naruto this was Haku's best threat, he didn't have a choice with his legs frozen in place. Temari made the decision to head out. Naruto's fangs were slowly going back to normal.
"You'll fight him sooner or later but not now," Haku said, "For you now. You have some other things to deal with. They made the draws for the tournament. You're facing Neji in the first round. Gaara's facing Sasuke. The winner of your match and their match will face each other. Got it? Win your match. Gaara will beat Sasuke. Fight him then got it?" Naruto didn't say anything.
"We will have a 1 hour break. All of the Genins are invited to come back for a special battle. The battle will not affect the exams for you," Hokage stated.
Naruto tightened the forearm protector around his right forearm.
"What are you doing?" Sakura asked. Naruto had changed from his bandages and pants to a black shirt with armor around his arms and legs. His hair was under a bandana.
"I'm in the next battle," Naruto stated as he locked it and stood up and walked into the arena. He looked around, most of the Rookies were there.
"Naruto has been taking part in a double exam. At once Naruto is completing both the genin and Chuunin exam. It's a rather rare but it's allowed. Since he has completed 7 Class A missions and 12 B class missions. The requirements for Jounin exam are 15 AB missions," Hokage said, "The Jounin exam is made of five parts. Number one is to the requirements of 15 A, B missions. Two is the permission of Leaf's high council. Three is a Rank A mission. Fourth is a hunter and prey scroll hunt. Fifth is to face your Jounin instructor from your Genin rank. Naruto of the Dual Blood will be facing the Copy Ninja Kakashi," Hokage said. Many of the Genins wondered how the old Hokage could talk so much in on breath.
"Naruto. Please step forward," One Jounin said. Naruto walked into the center in his battle gear.
"Uzumaki Naruto. Age: 12. Became Genin at age 9. Undergoing Chuunin exam. Undergoing Jounin exam with the permission of the Hokage and the council. As a requirement for the Exam a ninja has to present one Jounin level jutsu," The Jounin stated. Naruto held out his left arm as he moved back his left leg and unwrapped the bandage to reveal the tattoo.
"The Ryu Summoning Contract," Naruto said as he held out his arm.
"Present your summoning abilities," The Jounin said. Naruto bit his thumb and ran it down his arm and tattoo.
"Summoning!" Naruto yelled as he slammed his arm into the ground.
"Ryu Contract?" Sakura asked awed.
FLASHBACK
"Next thing you'll be telling me is that dragons existed," Kiba snorted.
"In fact. Dragons do existed as part of a contract. There are 5 tribes of dragons and five contracts. There is one for fire, water, earth, wind and lightning. To have one of these contract is a great honor and gives the carrier great power," Iruka explained, "The contract can only be given by someone who has a Ryu Contract. There can be only one master of a dragon tribe at a time."
"Holong!!" Naruto yelled as a red serpent dragon filled the arena.
"I'm taking back what I said before," Kiba said awestruck at the large dragon.
"Bye," Naruto said as Holong disappeared.
"Step forward Kakashi Hatake," Jounin stated. Kakashi appeared beside Naruto in a storm of leaves. The copy ninja looked at the blonde but found Naruto was asleep on the spot.
"Just skip the introduction? I don't think putting Naruto to sleep will do anything," Kakashi said.
"Ok. Begin the match," The Jounin said. Naruto's eyes snapped opened as he lunged at Kakashi who pulled out a kunai and metal against metal echoed through the arena. Naruto pushed off his kunai and somersaulted back, in mid-air he then opened his mouth wide.
"Karyuudan!" Naruto yelled as spit out a storm of fireballs at Kakashi who made a simple seal. A cloud of smoke appeared around him then a scorched rock hit the ground.
"I thought I wouldn't use this," Kakashi said. He was standing on the railing,He pulled up the headband to reveal his Sharingan eye.
"Kage bunshin!" Kakashi said as he created numerous copies of himself.
"Kage bunshin!" Naruto yelled as he created Kage bunshins of his own. Naruto's bunshins out numbered Kakashi's 2 to 1.
"Yonsen Rendan!" The Naruto bunshins yelled. A storm of punches and kicks annihilated his teacher's clones. The real Naruto wasn't attacking but looking for the real Kakashi.
'Don't want to rely on my bloodlines or the Ryu contract for this fight,'Naruto thought as he looked around. He heard something underground andblasted his chakra to his feet. Naruto exploded off the ground as Kakashi attacked from under the ground. The carrier of the ninetails made seals but he saw Kakashi copying everyone of his seals.
"Katon! Ryuuka no jutsu!!" The two yelled as an intense stream of fire and a shockwave of chakra ripped through the air. The Leaf-nins present covered themselves as the shockwave hit.
'The Ryuuka is difficult to control but they use it like it is nothing,' The Hokage thought as he continued to watch. Kakashi and Naruto were trying to push each other back manually. It was strange sight as Kakashi wasn't overpowering the much shorter Naruto.
"He's using it," Hatch stated, he was standing with the other Jounins. To his left was Haku and to his right was Gai.
"Using what?" Haku asked.
"The Gates have opened. Naruto has opened the Initial Gate," Hatch said with his Byukugan.
"The Initial Gate? He's going to use the Initial Lotus?" Gai asked.
"No. Naruto, unlike Lee, can maintain use of the Initial Gate. The damage caused by the Initial gate is healed quickly for no real danger except that it drains Naruto of chakra," Hatch explained.
"With Naruto's stamina. Kakashi will run out faster," Haku added in. Naruto leaned back into a roll. Kakashi fell forward as the blonde rolled his feet to connect with Kakashi's chin the jounin stumbled back from the unexpected blow. Naruto closed the gate as he charged in.
"Shuriken Kage Bunshin!" Naruto yelled as he threw a shuriken.
"Shihou Happou Shuriken no Maki!" The Bunshin yelled. Kakashi's eyes were wide as he realize he forgot about the Bunshins. The older nin disappeared under the storm of shurikens.
"It's over," Hatch stated.
"No it isn't," Naruto said as the Shurikens disappeared to reveal a red barrier around Kakashi.
"The Aka Tate," Naruto stated.
"My turn," Kakashi stated as he pulled out a Devil Wind Shuriken.
"Oh shit," Naruto stated.
"Shuriken Kage Bunshin!" Kakashi yelled as he threw the large Shuriken. Naruto's seals were a blur. He held out his hands.
"Spiral Water shield!!" Naruto yelled as water came out of the ground and created a spinning dome of water around him. The Shurikens were forced off course but the Kage Bunshins weren't so lucky as they were picked off by the storm of Devil Wind Shurikens.
'Have to use some of my stuff,' Naruto thought, 'I'm running out of chakra. Don't want to borrow chakra from other sources. Kakashi has the same problem. We're both low on chakra,'
'One last move,' Kakashi thought, 'I'm not meant to hold back so I only have one choice left,' Kakashi started the seal for his only original jutsu. Naruto clapped his hands together like he was praying.
"Chidori!!" Kakashi yelled.
"Uzu-jutsu! Divine Judgement blast!" Naruto yelled as he held out his arms out like a cross and chakra gathered around his open mouth.
"Ah!" The two yelled as they launched their attacks. A massive explosion ripped the stadium and shook it to its core. The Hokage opened his eyes and surveyed the damage. Naruto's knees hit the ground and blood dripped from a massive slash down his body. Kakashi was on his back, his body was covered in burn marks. He would need a new set of clothes.
"So it's a tie?" Sakura asked.
"Come on Naruto," Hatch said. Naruto fell forward but his hand shot out and stopped his way. He took in deep breaths as he slowly made his way off his feet.
"He shouldn't be able to stand," Kurenai said.
"This sort of injury isn't enough to take him down," Asuma stated with a chuckle.
"Winner Naruto!" Hokage yelled. Naruto laughed a bit then he fell onto his face.

Don't Own Naruto...
How many times do I have to tell you that?
#9
Naruto relaxed on the tower's rooftop with his legs and arms crossed, eyes closed and head dropped on his chest. To many, he appeared asleep.
"Naruto?" Sakura asked pushing her head out of the door.
"Yeah?" Naruto replied.
"The fifth day's done. Everyone is gathering," Sakura informed him. Naruto lifted his head and then calmly stood up stretching his joints. From training Sakura in some
basic jutsus and teaching the classic tree climbing exercises plus his own training, He had precious little time to sleep.
"Let's go," Naruto said as he headed down.
Naruto stood patiently as the Hokage explained that there would be a preliminary tournament to decide who would get to participate in the actual tournament also known as the third exam.
"Does anyone wish to quit?" The Examiner, a sickly looking ninja Hayate asked tiredly. Kabuto raised his arm and quitted.
'He smells like a snake,' Naruto thought before Hayate continued to explain the rules. The board appeared and the first match was determined. Uchiha Sasuke versus Akadou Yoroi.
"All others please head up to the second level to watch and await your match," Hayate instructed. Naruto walked up and leaned against the railing to watch the fight.
"Get him Sasuke!!" Sakura yelled, back to her normal self, Sasuke's fan girl .
"It'll be a good match to see," Naruto said, "His opponent has a strange aura around him,"
"Eh?" Sakura asked.
"Never underestimate an opponent, remember…" Naruto said, "The Curse Seal is acting up too. The idiot wouldn't let anyone look at him,"
"What?" Sakura asked. She turned to watch as the match started. Yoroi threw three shurikens which Sasuke deflected straight back. He charged in at the same time making hand seals as he did so.
"Katon Goukakyuu no Jutsu!"Sasuke yelled as he blew out a ball of fire at Yoroi who jumped out of the way.
At the second level Naruto noticed black markings starting to surround from the curse seal. Sasuke held himself up as he covered the seal with his hand.
"Where did he go?" Sasuke asked. Every time he tried to use his Sharingan over the past few days the curse seal activated.
'Above you,' Naruto thought as Sasuke rolled out of way as Yoroi smashed his hand through the ground creating a small crater.
'Strong,' Naruto thought. Sasuke grabbed Yoroi's arm in an arm lock in hopes to break the soundnin's arm, who didn't struggle as he turned his arm and grabbed Sasuke's shirt. The Uchiha heir felt a strange sensation. Yoroi back fisted Sasuke and escaped the hold. He then grabbed Sasuke by the head.
"Osmose no jutsu," Naruto whispered, "At least…"
"What is he doing to Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked confused.
"He's sucking out Sasuke's chakra," Naruto whispered, "He can't withstand much more. Only one more shot at this rate," Sasuke kicked Yoroi away but his strength was giving out.
"Hey Sasuke! If you lose this fight, I'll lay down a beating on you worse than Lee did!!" Naruto yelled 'encouragingly'
'Idiot,' Sasuke thought, 'I got an idea,'
"Hey Lee. Watch that," Naruto said.
"What? No way!!" Lee yelled as Sasuke delivered a vicious vertical side kick sending Yoroi up he followed his opponent right behind and appeared behind him.
"I'm going original from here on," Sasuke said as he pushed off his victim's back.
"A change," Naruto said as Sasuke executed the newly named Lion Combo or Shishi Rendan. Kakashi appeared behind Sasuke when he was declared victor.
"Awesome Sasuke!" Sakura yelled as Sasuke coolly walked away. Naruto could see Yoroi had absorbed a lot of chakra.
"That was pathetic," Naruto stated as he walked to the nearby wall and sat down against the wall, zoning out mentally. He could faintly hear blasts and screams from girls.
Sasuke sat in the middle of a ring of seals and marking. He was dressed only in his drawers as his sensei finished the last of the blood seals.
"Whoever made this fire seal was good, but this seal I'm about to put on you will merge with the Fire Seal. It's strength will depend on your will power," Kakashi explained, "Fuuja Houin!" with that he slammed his palm onto Sasuke's seal. The markings wrapped to form a seal around the curse seal. Sasuke collapsed. A sinister laugh echoed through the halls and the jounin went into high alert.
Orochimaru emerged from the shadows.
"You," Kakashi cried.
"I wanted to see my beautiful curse seal," Orochimaru stated, "I see you grown. Being able to use a sealing jutsu,"
"So you're after Sasuke?" Kakashi asked.
"No. He's simply a step to what I want. The Sharingan is great but there's someone who is so much better," Orochimaru stated.
"Naruto!?"
"The kid who wields the Sharingan and the legendary Red Cross bloodline with the almost mythical Ryu contracts. I can easily undo that fool's seal and kill the Kyubi and taking over the boy's body," Orochimaru said, "All I need is the Sharingan,"
"Fight Sharingan with Sharingan," Kakashi afirmed.
"He has my beautiful curse seal but he refuses to use its great power," Orochimaru said mock sadly.
"Naruto has a Curse seal?" Kakashi asked completely stunned.
"Your old friend Kai was able to rid him of it with the Ryu contract but I killed him for destroying my beautiful seal," Orochimaru said casually, "The two will come to me. Sasuke will come to me for power and Naruto will come to me for revenge," Orochimaru grinned sinisterly as he disappeared into the shadows.
Naruto opened his eyes to see the Sound-nin with that sound blaster being carried off with his severed arms on top of himself.
"Ouch," Naruto commented, "Sakura. You're up,"
"What?"
"Next is Sakura against Tenten!!" Hayate announced.
"She's a weapons expert," Naruto stated as Sakura made her way down.
'Let's see if that training paid off. Tenten is tough,' Naruto thought as two Chuunins appeared behind Naruto. Naruto turned around to look at them.
"What do you want Hikari? Takeru?" Naruto asked. Hikari was Sakura's mom and Takeru was Tenten's father. Teammates and or bitter rivals depending on the time.
"I'm here to see my daughter go onto the next round," Takeru said.
"No way!! My daughter is going on!" Hikari yelled. The two argued with Naruto's back turned to them. Sakura and Tenten sweat dropped as they noticed their parents arguing. Naruto made a few seals.
"Guys?" Naruto said as he held up his hand. The two turned around as feathers came out of his hand then they fell asleep.
"Eh... Thank you. We may continue now," Hayate said, "Begin," Sakura made a series of seals as Tenten pulled out and threw a couple of kunais.
'She's not scared,' Tenten said as Sakura continued to preform the seals. The kunais came at her they bounced off a wall of air.
'Wind barrier,' Naruto thought to himself.
"Go Sakura!" Hikari yelled.
"Tenten! Show her what you can do!!" Takeru yelled. Naruto groaned he repeating the same seals making two adults drop to the ground for the second time he then proceeded to rub his temples.
"Now!" Sakura yelled as she did the finishing seal. Tenten had been distracted by the two cheerleader parents and the air around ring started to wrap. The idea behind this genjutsu was to cause one to lose their sense of balance. Naruto was immune since he was the one who taught but others were not as fortunate as he saw looking around him.
Chouji looked ready to lose his many lunches and snacks, Ino was screaming as she pulled down her skirt 'She must be thinking she was upside down or Something', Shikamaru seemed to be unaffected too.
Neji was unaffected and so was Lee else the yells encouragements at Sakura was Lee's version of freaking out. Team 8 for the most part seemed unaffected as well, but Hinata showed some signs of worry. Naruto turned to Tenten. She had somehow had two chained wrapped around her arms and weighs attached at the end with her eyes were closed.
'In true this isn't barely 10% of what this genjutsu could do but with Sakura's small reserve it's the best she can do. A genjutsu that works by sight,' Naruto thought as he made a kai seal and the illusion lost it's effect. Sakura charged at Tenten with a kunai in hand.
"Take this!" Sakura yelled thrusting her kunai at Tentenwho opened her eyes and whipped out of the chains which wrapped around Sakura's armed hand. She pulled on the chains and punched Sakura's face. The genjutsu was shattered as Sakura bounced off the ground then pulled herself into a roll. Sakura ended up on her feet to be welcomed by a storm of kunai, she ran to evade them but two kunais with a string wrapped themselves around Sakura's hair and pinned her to the wall by her hair. She screamed as shetried to release her hair.
"I charged the string so it'll stick onto your hair," Tenten said as she pulled out five more kunais.
"Girls nowadays try to be girls but they forget one thing. We're ninjas. We're warriors not normal teenagers," Tenten said as she reeled back, "We don't have the time to take care of our hairs all the time and look pretty," Sakura listened as she tried to think of ways to get out.
"This is it!" Tenten yelled as she threw the kunais. Sakura pulled out a kunai of her own did what no one expected Pink hair flew everywhere as She rolled out of the kunais' path. Sakura thought back to her training. The last skill Naruto showed her but didn't let her practice.
FLASHBACK TO YESTERDAY
"What I'm about to show you is very simple and the results may be powerful,"
Naruto said, "But it's a last resort ok? It doesn't work for a lot of people,"
Naruto showed her three seals then finished with a release seal.
"Don't practice it ok? Save it for when you need it. A last resort if you will. Not everyone will be affected by your genjutsu and the wind barrier is weak," Naruto said. Sakura nodded.
"This seems like a good time to try it out," Sakura said as she did the seals,
"Kai!" She was surrounded by a vortex of chakra.
"What is going on?" Tenten yelled.
"Showtime," Naruto said as the vortex disappeared. Sakura stood up. Her upper body was limp, but slowly she rose up like she was rising from the dead. Two words appeared on her forehead for a second then disappeared as Sakura tied her headband over her forehead.
'Inner Sakura,' Naruto thought. Sakura looked at Tenten with changed eyes.
"Hahhahahaha! I'm out! Now for you! You made me cut my precious hair!" Sakura yelled manically and charged with high speed at Tenten with a kunai in hand. The black haired kunoichi barely had time to block the attack. Sakura continued to pushe Tenten back.
'How did she get so strong? What was that jutsu? It was simple seals. I think I could copy it,' Tenten sidestepped Sakura. She remembered the seals and tried it.
"Kai!" Tenten yelled She opened her eyes to see Sakura's fist as she smashed it into her face.
'That jutsu didn't do a thing,' Tenten thought as she wiped the blood form the corner of her mouth.
'Time for my best technique, Soushouryuu,' Tenten jumped back a bit as she hit Sakura with a double kick. Sakura was knocked back a few steps back. Tenten threw a kunai with an explosive tag on it. It blasted Sakura into the wall. She quickly pulled out her two scrolls and drove them into the ground. She made her hands seals fast. A cloud of smoke appeared then took the form of dragons.
"Soushouryuu," Naruto stated. Tenten jumped up and started to produce weapons from the scrolls. Sakura was starting to recover from the kick.
"Take this!" Tenten yelled as the weapons threw at her.
"No way. Kawarimi no Jutsu!!" Sakura yelled and a cloud of smoke engulfed her then Ino appeared. Ino screamed.
"Oh shit," Tenten said as she diverted the weapons away from Ino.
'Sakura switched up those basic jutsus,' Naruto thought as 'Ino' jumped at Tenten who looked around for Sakura. Ino exploded and out of the smoke Sakura came out.
"What the?" Tenten yelled. She pulled her strings. The weapons headed for Sakura. Tenten used the string to tie up Sakura's arms. Sakura reeled back her head.
"Take this!" Sakura yelled as she drove her forehead into Tenten's forehead. The weapons struck Sakura from behind. The two started to fall. The weapons disappeared.
'They're both knocked out,' Naruto thought as the two hit the ground. Hayate checked them both.
"Both contestants have been knocked out. Neither one will move on!" Hayate yelled. Naruto jumped down and calmly picked up the two girls then jumped back to the balcony.
"They'll be ok," Naruto said as putting them down. Naruto held up his two hands as chakra came out of his hand healing their injuries.
"Next are Inuzuka Kiba and Uzumaki Naruto!" Kiba let out an excited yell.
"We'll kick your ass!!" Kiba yelled. Naruto chuckled at this.
"What is he talking about Naruto?" Ino asked.
"I met a lot of people who said that before," Naruto said. Nearly every Jounin's attention peaked at the mention of Naruto's name. Kiba jumped down to the arena.
"Get down here so I can kick your ass!!" Kiba shouted. The blonde genius grabbed the railing and did a handstand on it he 'walked' down from the balcony holding onto the railing. Kiba growls were getting louder and louder. Naruto finally reached the ground and took a loose fighting stance.
"Begin," Hayate said.
"Quad no jutsu," Kiba said as he crouched down and charged at Naruto with his arms and feet. Kiba lunged at Naruto with his arms out to strike. Naruto side stepped Kiba with a lightning quick move.
"Tag," Naruto said playfully as he slapping Kiba's back who crashed into the ground.
'That was a tap!' Kiba thought as he got up. Naruto cracked his knuckles a bit.
"Ready for more?" Naruto asked.
"Akamaru!" Kiba yelled as he charging at Naruto,
"Smoke bomb?" Naruto thought as Kiba threw something at his feet.
"That tactic won't work," Asuma stated.
"What? It worked a lot of times," Kurenai said.
"Naruto is best known for his reaction speed. Kiba may have a higher speed but it's nearly impossible to actually strike Naruto without him blocking or parrying," Gai added, "I tried to sneak up on him and he hit me,"
"You're kidding me right?" Kurenai stunned asked. Akamaru flew out of the smoke like a dog bullet into the wall.
"Don't try to send a dog to do your job. Wind slash," Naruto said as a gust of wind blew the smoke away. Kiba was able to grab Akamaru before the attack reached them. The wind made a gash on the wall like that of a giant claw.
"Akamaru. Eat this," Kiba said to the dog under his arm.
"Hurry up," Naruto said as he put his hands behind his back and pulled out two metal spheres.
"Juujin Bunshin!" Naruto watched as two beast-Kibas appeared.
"Shikyaku no Jutsu!" The Kibas charged at Naruto on all fours. Tenten and Sakura had woken up from their battle and were watching the fight.
"Eat this," Naruto said as he threw the spheres at Kibas.
"Naruto uses Bombs too?" Tenten asked. A thick cloud of smoke engulfed the arena. Naruto used his sense of smell to go after Kiba.
"You're mine!" Naruto yelled as he reeled back his fist but he saw two Kibas. The two shoulder checked Naruto into the wall.
'They're faster than me,' Naruto thought, 'But I shouldn't have dropped my guard so much to test their strength,'
"Smoke without a smell? Our noses are a 100 times better than any humans," Kiba said, "Let's finish this,"
"Supreme Beast Human technique! Piercing fang!" Two Kibas turned into spinning horizontal tornados. Naruto's lips curled up in a grin.
"Supreme technique eh?" Naruto asked as he made a few seals, "Firewall!" Naruto put his hands on top of each other and slammed them into the ground. An inferno exploded from it around Naruto who threw a metal sphere into the inferno.
"A Fire bomb?" Tenten stated.
"What?" Sakura asked.
"They are these new bombs called Fire Bomb. They react with heat for different effects," Tenten said.
'These spheres will cause the fire to emit a strong smell of burning flesh,' Naruto thought to himself. The real Kiba stopped but Akamaru couldn't and went through the wall. The smell was so intense that Kiba dropped to the ground screaming for his eyes. Akamaru howled and transformed back to it's dog form.
"Spiral blade time," Naruto said, "Kage bunshin!!" Five Naruto appeared around the 'dog-boy' as Kiba shook off the smell.
"What did you do with that smell?" Kiba's muffled voice yelled as he opened his eyes and got a close up of Naruto's fist. Kiba's head whipped to the side to be the receiving end of three Bunshin's Initial Lotus kick. Naruto jumped off with a boost of the punch bunshin.
"Spiral Blade!!" Naruto yelled as he started to spin with his right leg out like a buzz saw. He connected with a vicious axe kick into Kiba's face. Hayate walked over to Kiba and checked him.
"Winner! Naruto!" Hayate yelled. Naruto jumped back to the balcony in one jump.
'He could have overpowered Kiba at any time he wanted. How powerful is he?' Neji thought.
"Next match is Hyuga Neji vs Hyuga Hinata," Hayate announced. Once against everyone's attention was gathered again.
'Shit. Main family and branch family shit,' Naruto thought as he leaned against the railing. Neji made his move down calmly but Naruto could feel the hate coming off him. Hinata nervously made her way down.
"Get him Hinata!" Naruto encouraged, "Don't' let him play mind games with you!"
'What the? How did he know I would try and break her?' Neji thought.
'Hyuga geniuses are so predictable. Attack mentally and emotionally first. Break down the person so they can't fight at their full potential,' Naruto thought as he leaned against the railing.
'Thank you Naruto-kun,' Hinata thought as she got into fighting stance.
'I'll crush her anyways,' Neji thought.
"Let the match begin!!" Hayate said. Hinata exploded at Neji with an avalanche of attacks. Neji was surprised with Hinata's initial burst of speed.
'She used the base idea of the Fire Bullet that Naruto taught her. Gathering chakra at a point in the body and letting it out in a burst,' Hatch thought as he watched. Neji was being pushed back by the strikes. Each strike Hinata exploded with a speed boast.
Naruto chuckled.
'Neji didn't expect Hinata's strikes to be so fast. She is bursting out chakra from her shoulders so her arms will hit faster and harder,' Naruto thought as Hinata pulled back for a finishing move. Neji grinned.
'Shit. He was holding back,' Naruto thought. Neji ducked over Hinata's finishing strike. Neji connected with a palm strike to Hinata's stomach and ran by her as he pressed points into Hinata's arm. She rolled back her sleeves quickly and saw Neji's handiwork.
'I can't lose here,' Hinata thought in panic. She looked up at Naruto, 'Not in front of him,' Naruto suddenly gave her the thumbs up and mouthed 'use it'.
'I won't lose here,' Hinata thought as she focused her chakra into her right arm.
"Your chakra points have been sealed," Neji stated.
'The Fire bullet. It will force chakra out even if the point has been sealed,' Hatch thought as Hinata's arm erupted in chakra flames. She charged at her cousin.
'What's this! This is impossible!' Neji thought as he charged his best technique.
"Hogan!" Hinata yelled as a blast of chakra exploded from her shoulder blade sending her at Neji with incredible speed and force.
"Kaiten!" Neji yelled as chakra surrounded him. He spun around and repelled Hinata's attack she crashed into the ground and stopped moving. Neji stopped and marched over to her, He grabbed Hinata's collar and pulled her to her feet. He pulled back his hand.
'He's going to kill her!' Hayate thought then yelled, "This match is over!" Neji's hand blurred down at Hinata.
Next thing they saw was Naruto without his jacket. His right hand holding Neji by the throat and his left hand holding Neji's hand. Hinata looked at them. The Jounins present sensed it. Hinata saw Naruto's chakra and Neji's chakra taking forms. A phantom tiger around Neji and Naruto had a phantom dragon wrapped around him but there was something else, A giant shadow was cast over Naruto.
"Don't you even dare," Naruto growled.
"Special treatment for the Main family I see," Neji said.
"I don't give a damn about the Hyuga family crap," Naruto said, "Hinata is a friend, like you would understand that," Naruto threw Neji back then turned his attention to Hinata.
"You ok?" Naruto asked.
"Gomen," Hinata whispered.
"You shouldn't be sorry. You did your best and you should happy with it," Naruto said. Hinata made a weak smile as she slipped into unconsciousness. Naruto held up his hand and pass it over Hinata. Her wounds and injuries healing fast.
"Two losers trying to think they're great," Neji said, "I heard of you. Naruto Uzumaki. Dead last of his graduating class. Your team was wiped out. You are a weakling. Your compassionate is a sign of weakness," Naruto's body shook bit by bit with Neji's talking.
"Stop Neji," Gai whispered.
"Your shaking shows how weak you are," Neji said.
"That is it!!!" Naruto yelled as he whipped around. His hands were a blur as he made seals, "Kage deat.....," Gai grabbed Naruto around his mid section as Kurenai and Asuma grabbed his arms. Kakashi held Naruto around his mouth and neck.
"Clam down Naruto," Kakashi said. Naruto was engulfed in a cloud of smoke and the Jounins found they were holding a log.
"What the?" Kurenai asked. A dropping noise alert them to Naruto. Naruto stood up. His face was one of seriousness and anger.
"That wasn't smart Neji," Gai stated. Neji treated the comment like it was trash as he made his way up the stairs. Hatch stepped into his way to the balcony.
"Out of the way Hatch," Neji said.
"You know who was part of Team 6?" Hatch asked.
"They're dead so who cares?" Neji said. Hatch's punch wasn't expected. Neji was knocked to the ground. hard.
"They're not all dead," Hatch stated coldly as he turned on his heels and headed for Naruto. As Hatch passed him he talked.
"If you fight promise me you'll crush him," Hatch said. Naruto, his eyes were closed, nodded his head. Everyone around Naruto stayed away. Everyone could almost taste the anger coming off the boy.
"I'm going out for a bit," Naruto said as he turned and headed for the outside.
Naruto took in a breath of fresh air as he unnerved himself.
"You seem on edge lately," Haku said.
"How can you tell?" Naruto asked.
"Your hair. It's spiky because of the amount of chakra in your body. Even the hair on the back of your neck is on end," Haku stated. Naruto laughed a bit.
"I know about your past with Gaara," Haku stated.
"Who else does?" Naruto asked.
"All of the Genins," Haku said, "Hatch Hyuga was crippled while on mission to the sand as part of a political escort with Naruto and Kai. Hatch took part of a battle with Gaara of the sand and his leg was crushed beyond repair and his other leg's muscles were snapped beyond repair too,"
"And his teammate Naruto Uzumaki attacked Gaara. The first time Gaara ever had trouble with a ninja," Naruto stated.
"You nearly caused an incident when you were at the Sand," Haku said, "Here's an idea. Fight in the Chuunin tournament until you face Gaara. Beat him then and come on in. The matches are still going on," Haku closed her eyes for a second then opened them find Naruto nowhere, She turned around to see Naruto half way to the door.
"You have got to show me how you do that," Haku said, "Go to the rest area and stay there. Hokage's orders. We'll call you for your next fight,"
"Like I said. I walk away simple as that," Naruto said as he headed down the stairs, "I'm going,"
Naruto leaned over the table as he tapped the notebook with the pencil in a fast pace. He suddenly heard screams and could almost taste the panic and tension in the air. It was a familiar mix. Naruto's memory of his first visit tothe Sand came up.
"Shit!!" Naruto yelled as he ran out of the room and quickly into the arena. He stopped to see Lee being carried on a stretcher.
"What happened?" Naruto asked. He saw Lee's right leg and arm's bones were crushed.
"Gaara and Lee fought. Lee used the extreme lotus but it didn't help him in the end. Gaara crushed Lee's arm and leg. The Extreme Lotus destroyed his muscles. No one in the medic-Nins can do anything for Lee," Haku said.
"GAARA!!!!!" Naruto yelled. Naruto turned to jump but he found ice wrapped around his ankle. The ice was Haku's eternal ice. Even Naruto couldn't break it. He yelled as he tried to pull away.
"Calm down Naruto," Haku stated, "Don't make me cool you down," For Naruto this was Haku's best threat, he didn't have a choice with his legs frozen in place. Temari made the decision to head out. Naruto's fangs were slowly going back to normal.
"You'll fight him sooner or later but not now," Haku said, "For you now. You have some other things to deal with. They made the draws for the tournament. You're facing Neji in the first round. Gaara's facing Sasuke. The winner of your match and their match will face each other. Got it? Win your match. Gaara will beat Sasuke. Fight him then got it?" Naruto didn't say anything.
"We will have a 1 hour break. All of the Genins are invited to come back for a special battle. The battle will not affect the exams for you," Hokage stated.
Naruto tightened the forearm protector around his right forearm.
"What are you doing?" Sakura asked. Naruto had changed from his bandages and pants to a black shirt with armor around his arms and legs. His hair was under a bandana.
"I'm in the next battle," Naruto stated as he locked it and stood up and walked into the arena. He looked around, most of the Rookies were there.
"Naruto has been taking part in a double exam. At once Naruto is completing both the genin and Chuunin exam. It's a rather rare but it's allowed. Since he has completed 7 Class A missions and 12 B class missions. The requirements for Jounin exam are 15 AB missions," Hokage said, "The Jounin exam is made of five parts. Number one is to the requirements of 15 A, B missions. Two is the permission of Leaf's high council. Three is a Rank A mission. Fourth is a hunter and prey scroll hunt. Fifth is to face your Jounin instructor from your Genin rank. Naruto of the Dual Blood will be facing the Copy Ninja Kakashi," Hokage said. Many of the Genins wondered how the old Hokage could talk so much in on breath.
"Naruto. Please step forward," One Jounin said. Naruto walked into the center in his battle gear.
"Uzumaki Naruto. Age: 12. Became Genin at age 9. Undergoing Chuunin exam. Undergoing Jounin exam with the permission of the Hokage and the council. As a requirement for the Exam a ninja has to present one Jounin level jutsu," The Jounin stated. Naruto held out his left arm as he moved back his left leg and unwrapped the bandage to reveal the tattoo.
"The Ryu Summoning Contract," Naruto said as he held out his arm.
"Present your summoning abilities," The Jounin said. Naruto bit his thumb and ran it down his arm and tattoo.
"Summoning!" Naruto yelled as he slammed his arm into the ground.
"Ryu Contract?" Sakura asked awed.
FLASHBACK
"Next thing you'll be telling me is that dragons existed," Kiba snorted.
"In fact. Dragons do existed as part of a contract. There are 5 tribes of dragons and five contracts. There is one for fire, water, earth, wind and lightning. To have one of these contract is a great honor and gives the carrier great power," Iruka explained, "The contract can only be given by someone who has a Ryu Contract. There can be only one master of a dragon tribe at a time."
"Holong!!" Naruto yelled as a red serpent dragon filled the arena.
"I'm taking back what I said before," Kiba said awestruck at the large dragon.
"Bye," Naruto said as Holong disappeared.
"Step forward Kakashi Hatake," Jounin stated. Kakashi appeared beside Naruto in a storm of leaves. The copy ninja looked at the blonde but found Naruto was asleep on the spot.
"Just skip the introduction? I don't think putting Naruto to sleep will do anything," Kakashi said.
"Ok. Begin the match," The Jounin said. Naruto's eyes snapped opened as he lunged at Kakashi who pulled out a kunai and metal against metal echoed through the arena. Naruto pushed off his kunai and somersaulted back, in mid-air he then opened his mouth wide.
"Karyuudan!" Naruto yelled as spit out a storm of fireballs at Kakashi who made a simple seal. A cloud of smoke appeared around him then a scorched rock hit the ground.
"I thought I wouldn't use this," Kakashi said. He was standing on the railing,He pulled up the headband to reveal his Sharingan eye.
"Kage bunshin!" Kakashi said as he created numerous copies of himself.
"Kage bunshin!" Naruto yelled as he created Kage bunshins of his own. Naruto's bunshins out numbered Kakashi's 2 to 1.
"Yonsen Rendan!" The Naruto bunshins yelled. A storm of punches and kicks annihilated his teacher's clones. The real Naruto wasn't attacking but looking for the real Kakashi.
'Don't want to rely on my bloodlines or the Ryu contract for this fight,'Naruto thought as he looked around. He heard something underground andblasted his chakra to his feet. Naruto exploded off the ground as Kakashi attacked from under the ground. The carrier of the ninetails made seals but he saw Kakashi copying everyone of his seals.
"Katon! Ryuuka no jutsu!!" The two yelled as an intense stream of fire and a shockwave of chakra ripped through the air. The Leaf-nins present covered themselves as the shockwave hit.
'The Ryuuka is difficult to control but they use it like it is nothing,' The Hokage thought as he continued to watch. Kakashi and Naruto were trying to push each other back manually. It was strange sight as Kakashi wasn't overpowering the much shorter Naruto.
"He's using it," Hatch stated, he was standing with the other Jounins. To his left was Haku and to his right was Gai.
"Using what?" Haku asked.
"The Gates have opened. Naruto has opened the Initial Gate," Hatch said with his Byukugan.
"The Initial Gate? He's going to use the Initial Lotus?" Gai asked.
"No. Naruto, unlike Lee, can maintain use of the Initial Gate. The damage caused by the Initial gate is healed quickly for no real danger except that it drains Naruto of chakra," Hatch explained.
"With Naruto's stamina. Kakashi will run out faster," Haku added in. Naruto leaned back into a roll. Kakashi fell forward as the blonde rolled his feet to connect with Kakashi's chin the jounin stumbled back from the unexpected blow. Naruto closed the gate as he charged in.
"Shuriken Kage Bunshin!" Naruto yelled as he threw a shuriken.
"Shihou Happou Shuriken no Maki!" The Bunshin yelled. Kakashi's eyes were wide as he realize he forgot about the Bunshins. The older nin disappeared under the storm of shurikens.
"It's over," Hatch stated.
"No it isn't," Naruto said as the Shurikens disappeared to reveal a red barrier around Kakashi.
"The Aka Tate," Naruto stated.
"My turn," Kakashi stated as he pulled out a Devil Wind Shuriken.
"Oh shit," Naruto stated.
"Shuriken Kage Bunshin!" Kakashi yelled as he threw the large Shuriken. Naruto's seals were a blur. He held out his hands.
"Spiral Water shield!!" Naruto yelled as water came out of the ground and created a spinning dome of water around him. The Shurikens were forced off course but the Kage Bunshins weren't so lucky as they were picked off by the storm of Devil Wind Shurikens.
'Have to use some of my stuff,' Naruto thought, 'I'm running out of chakra. Don't want to borrow chakra from other sources. Kakashi has the same problem. We're both low on chakra,'
'One last move,' Kakashi thought, 'I'm not meant to hold back so I only have one choice left,' Kakashi started the seal for his only original jutsu. Naruto clapped his hands together like he was praying.
"Chidori!!" Kakashi yelled.
"Uzu-jutsu! Divine Judgement blast!" Naruto yelled as he held out his arms out like a cross and chakra gathered around his open mouth.
"Ah!" The two yelled as they launched their attacks. A massive explosion ripped the stadium and shook it to its core. The Hokage opened his eyes and surveyed the damage. Naruto's knees hit the ground and blood dripped from a massive slash down his body. Kakashi was on his back, his body was covered in burn marks. He would need a new set of clothes.
"So it's a tie?" Sakura asked.
"Come on Naruto," Hatch said. Naruto fell forward but his hand shot out and stopped his way. He took in deep breaths as he slowly made his way off his feet.
"He shouldn't be able to stand," Kurenai said.
"This sort of injury isn't enough to take him down," Asuma stated with a chuckle.
"Winner Naruto!" Hokage yelled. Naruto laughed a bit then he fell onto his face.
