Chapter Three: The Chuunin Exams

One day, after a mission, Naruto and Hinata were walking down an alleyway, alone (Sasuke had left for his own reasons).

Hinata giggled as Naruto made a joke at the cold Uchiha's expense. Grinning happily, Naruto laughed with her.

As their laughing subsided, Naruto leaned closer to her, whispering in her ear, "What do you say we go to Ichiraku's for lunch?"

Smiling, she replied, "I'd love to, Naruto-kun."

A peculiar looking box watched them as they walked down the fenced in alley, hands intertwined. It peered at them, following behind them as they continued walking.

Naruto stopped when he felt three extra chakra signatures behind him and Hinata, one of which he recognized. Sighing, he turned his head to see a box painted to look like a rock following him.

Shaking his head (Hinata had asked if something was wrong), he continued walking for a few seconds, waiting to hear to box shuffle after him. When he did indeed hear it follow him, he sighed and slowly turned around, "Konohamaru, rocks aren't square or rectangular."

The box flew upward and three, short Academy students appeared from underneath it. The middle one, who wore a scarf around his neck, said, "That's the man I view as my rival!"

Hinata released her fingers with Naruto's, staring questioningly at the three, "Um…Naruto-kun, who are these three?"

After introducing themselves, Konohamaru stared at her, having just noticed the no longer shy Hyuga, "Hey, Niisan! Who's this girl?"

His gaze traveled to their interlaced fingers, and he suddenly understood, "Oh! She's your…" he wiggled his pinky finger, "…this! Right?"

Naruto chuckled amusedly, squeezing Hinata's hand lightly, "You're a really perceptive brat, Konohamaru."

Konohamaru suddenly jumped up, "Niisan! You promised to play ninja with us today!"

Naruto tapped his chin with his finger, thinking, "Hmmm…Well, I'm busy so I'll only have time for one game."

The Third's grandson and his companions giggled excitedly, "That's okay, Niisan!"

"Alright, Konohamaru, Moegi, Udon," he said, letting go of Hinata's hand and fishing through his kunai pouch, "The game is simple. I'm going to throw a kunai down the alley. What you need to do is touch that kunai before I tag you, got it?"

"Alright, Niisan!"

Nodding, Naruto threw a three pronged kunai down the alleyway, watching it land about fifteen yards away. Grinning, he turned back around to face the Academy trio, "I'll give you a three second head start."

As quickly as they could, Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon ran towards the Kunai, hearing Naruto slowly count to three.

"One."

They had gotten about five yards, with still at least ten yards ahead of them.

"Two."

Their goal was only six yards away. They were almost there. Just a little farther.

"Three."

Konohamaru dived, trying his best to tag the kunai and claim victory. He closed his eyes and slid towards the three pronged piece of steel.

He opened them again when he felt something touching the bridge of his nose, and he saw Naruto kneeling in front of him, outstretched finger in contact with Konohamaru's nose.

The three Academy students looked at him in awe, "Niisan! How'd you do that?"

Naruto grinned, "That's a secret!"

Konohamaru jumped up from the ground, hand clenched in confidence, "Okay! Let's play tag now! You're it Niisan!"

He and his companions rushed off down the alley, leaving behind a stunned Naruto and Hinata.

Regaining his wits, Naruto rushed after them, Hinata on his heels.

When they finally caught up, Konohamaru had bumped into a strange boy dressed in black and wearing Kabuki make up.

The boy in black picked the Sandaime's grandson, growling angrily, "That hurt!"

The blonde girl standing next to him looked around nervously, "Don't. We'll get yelled at later."

Naruto skidded to a stop a few yards away, growling angrily as red bled into his dark amethyst eyes, "Let him go before you regret it."

The boy laughed, "Let's play a little before the boss comes."

He smirked, one of his fists clenched, "Basically, I hate midgets. Especially younger ones that are rude…makes me want to kill them."

Naruto tossed one of his special kunai, watching as the boy moved his leg slightly to dodge it.

The black clothed boy's smirk widened as he thought he had won, "Well, after this one, I'll take care of that other annoying midget!"

He brought his fist back, ignoring the smirk on Naruto's face. He swung his fist, aiming at Konohamaru's head.

WHAM! He was sent flying as Naruto suddenly punched him from behind.

The boy in Kabuki face paint stood, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Bastard! What was that?"

Naruto grinned, pulling his kunai from the ground and twirling it on his finger for all to see, "I have tons more of these. These Kunai are coated in diamond, making them indestructible, and have a special seal on them that allows me to instantaneously travel to them using my chakra."

Naruto's grin widened, "The last person to use this technique was very famous. I believe he was called the Yellow Flash."

Naruto's grin faded as he turned when he felt a large amount of killing intent spike from the tree behind them. His gaze fell onto a red haired boy with a gourd on his back that was hanging upside down from a tree branch.

The red haired boy ignored his gaze in favor of scolding the boy in black, "Kankuro…you're an embarrassment to our village."

Kankuro looked nervous, "G-Gaara. Listen, Gaara, they started it!"

"Shut up!" Gaara said, "Or I'll kill you!"

Kankuro shook nervously, "Okay, Gaara, I-I'm sorry."

Gaara turned his gaze to Naruto, "I apologize for this idiot's behavior." "To be that fast…He's good."

In a whirl of sand, he disappeared, reappearing on the ground, "It looks like we got here early; the Chuunin Exam hasn't started yet."

Gaara walked forward, stopping a few feet in front of Naruto, who had grasped Hinata's hand, "I am Sabaku no Gaara. What's your name?"

Keeping his eyes on Gaara, Naruto said, "I am Uzumaki Naruto."

Nodding, Gaara turned to leave, stopping a few yards away, "…I hope to see you in the Chuunin Exams, Uzumaki-san."

Unnoticed up in the tree, Sasuke scowled angrily at the people before him.

That night…

Naruto was having a weird dream. He was in a hallway with many locked doors. The floor was wet and was flooded with water up to his shins. At the end of the hallway, a dark red light glowed ominously, luring him closer as he tried to determine where he was.

He continued down the hallway, ignoring the red and blue pipes above his head. He almost tripped once or twice, but he was otherwise fine. He turned the corner and the glow intensified. When he turned another corner, he found himself in a large room full of pipes and a large wall of bars. The glow seemed to originate from those bars, flowing along the red pipes as well.

From within the cage those bars created, two large, red eyes stared at him, as if sizing him up.

"Come here, brat," a deep voice said, coming from the general direction of the large eyes, "We have much to talk about."

Naruto walked forward, wading through the shallow water. He stopped about fifteen feet from the cage, wondering if this was just some strange dream, or if it was something else (his gut told him it wasn't a dream).

"So, this is my container?" the voice growled, animalistic in nature, "Doesn't look like much."

Naruto snorted, "I take it you've never heard the phrase "never judge a book by its cover"?"

Whatever the voice belonged to laughed; a deep, throaty laugh, somehow amused, "I like you, kid. You've got spunk!"

It stopped laughing, staring at him again, "But that's not the point. The point is, do you know who or what I am?"

Naruto tapped his chin, "Hmmm…Well, I have a guess…"

He sat down cross legged, ignoring the fact that his pants got wet, "If I had to guess, I'd say you're the Kyubi no Yoko sealed inside of me."

The voice chuckled again, "Very good, boy, you're smarter than I give you credit for. Yes, I am Kyubi, but introductions are not why I interrupted your dreams of that dark haired girl to call you here."

The Kyubi shuffled around in its cage, standing and softly padding towards the bars, thus revealing its massive body. Its orange fur seemed almost to glisten in the soft red glow, "I called you here because your body is constantly absorbing my chakra at a remarkable rate. I blame the damn bastard that made this seal for this, but there's nothing that can be done to prevent it. Within a few months, you'll have absorbed all my chakra and I'll die."

"And…why should I care?"

"Because you OWE me. If it hadn't been for me taking pity on you, your precious girlfriend would have died from her wounds in Wave Country on that bridge! She only survived because I wanted her to!"

Naruto scowled angrily, "What do you want from me?"

It grinned down at him, "Good boy. Now, since I can't stop the absorption of my chakra, we'll have to tweak the seal a bit to allow our souls to bond. This should slow down the absorption a bit and prevent my death even when you've absorbed all of my chakra. With our souls bound together, I'll only die when you do."

Naruto was hesitant to trust it, and knew there was something else going on, "What will the side effects be and how do I do it?"

The Kyubi lay down, its head resting on its paws, "As a side effect, your healing rate should sky rocket and your senses should go off the charts. However, you'll also have to relearn your chakra exercises and use that Jutsu again. Another slight side effect is the possible creation of a new Doujutsu similar to the Sharingan or Byakugan. The chances of that are slim, though. And you don't have to do anything but give me permission to tamper with the seal enough to cause this merge. So do I have permission?"

Sighing, Naruto stood, looking the beast right in the eye, "Yes, you have my permission to tamper with the seal only enough to cause this merge. There, happy?"

It grinned at him playfully, though it looked more feral due to his nature and body, "More so than you could ever imagine. Now, WAKE UP!"

With a jolt, Naruto sat up in bed, eyes wide open and searching frantically. When he realized where he was, he calmed himself, forcing his breathing rate back to normal. Sighing, he wiped some sweat off his forehead, "I guess it was just a dream."

Pain suddenly lanced through his stomach, forcing him to double over holding his midsection. A burning sensation spread through his body, traveling from his stomach to his ears, eyes, nose, and fingertips. He bit his tongue to keep himself from screaming, grunting when it didn't help much.

Behind his closed eyelids, his pupils became elongated and slit, reminiscent of an animal's. The light amethyst of his irises darkened, fading back into their natural blue. His fingernails grew into sharp, one inch claws, and then retracted back into normal fingernails, an almost unnoticeable point to them.

Finally, after spending a whole fifteen minutes writhing in agony, the pain disappeared, leaving a dull throb where it had been. As he sat there, panting and trying to calm down, he could have sworn he heard a low chuckle. When he couldn't find the source, he wrote it off as his imagination.

"Did I forget to mention it would hurt like hell?"

"Kyubi! Where are you?"

Adopting a soft, sage-like tone, the beast replied, "It's all in your head."

Naruto blinked, "What?"

A sigh echoed through Naruto's mind, "I'm contacting you telepathically from my prison. And you might want to reply back telepathically, it might look weird if someone hears you talking to yourself."

"Oh, right."

"Right. I think there's about a fifty percent chance that you have a doujutsu now. Your senses should enhance themselves while you sleep. It'll probably be a pain in the ass for you tomorrow when you wake up to blinding light and deafening sound, but…I think you can handle it. Even so, I would suggest wearing your hitai-ate over your eyes and walking around using your ears till you get used to them."

Naruto cringed a bit, but replied all the same, "Uh huh. Since you're the expert, I'll take your advice."

When all he heard was silence, Naruto fell back against his pillows, a sigh escaping his lips, "Tomorrow will be a looooong day."

He was asleep a few seconds later.

The Next day, at the bridge where Team Seven meets…

Naruto walked onto the bridge that was their meeting spot, sniffing out two distinct scents. The first was of lavender with a slight hint of jasmine shampoo. That he identified as Hinata, how he knew, he could only guess. The next scent was of spice, dirt, and sweat, which meant it had to belong to Sasuke, since there was the lingering smell of cherry blossoms on him that spoke of Sakura.

He also noticed he could hear their hearts beat if he listened closely enough. His musings were interrupted as he heard the rush of air displacement that signified the Shunshin no Jutsu that Kakashi used. Kakashi, Naruto noticed, smelled of granite and dogs. There was also an old underlying smell of blood. It was very weak and hard to notice, but it was there.

"Dobe," Sasuke said, his tone condescending, "Why are you wearing your Hitai-ate over your eyes?"

Naruto frowned, turning his head towards him (which surprised the boy to no end), "Because, Sasuke-teme, I activated a Kekke Genkai yesterday during training. Now, my eyes, ears, and nose are hypersensitive. I almost blinded myself when I woke up this morning!"

Hinata giggled at his tone, "Since I got up today, I've been finding my way around town using my ears and nose. Later today, I'm going to try to get used to my sensitive eyes."

"Well, anyway," Kakashi said, bringing the attention to him, "This is sudden, but, I've nominated you for the Chuunin Exams."

Pulling out three slips of paper from who knows where, he said, "Here are your application forms. If you want to take the Exam, sign those forms and take them to room 301 by 4pm tomorrow. That is all…"

In a puff of smoke, he disappeared.

The next day, at the Academy…

Team Seven climbed the stairs, watching two Genin try to get through to the room labeled 301. They watched as one of the Genin guarding the door chuckled, "We're just thinning out those that will fail anyways. What's wrong with that?"

Sasuke walked up, becoming the center of attention, "I agree, but you will let me through and…remove the Genjutsu on the door."

The second of the Genin guarding the door grinned, "So, you noticed."

Sasuke smirked, "Of course. But Hinata probably noticed first. With her Byakugan and skill with Genjutsu, it should have been easy for her to figure out."

Hinata nodded firmly, "Hai."

Naruto chuckled, interlacing his fingers with hers, "Any real Genin should have noticed that Genjutsu easily. Anyone who didn't should head back to the Academy for another lesson on the basics."

The air around the door's label shimmered, morphing the "301" into "201". The first of guards smirked, his spiky hair obscuring his eyes from view, "Not bad. But all you did was see through it!"

He rushed Sasuke, sending a roundhouse kick to the Uchiha's face. Sasuke responded in turn, sending out a kick of his own.

A large blur appeared between them, grabbing hold of their legs. It turned out to be the Genin from earlier that wore the funky green spandex. But beneath him, holding a kunai to two of the three boys' necks was Naruto, wearing a black tee shirt and black ANBU pants instead of his normal 'old school' garb. (ANBU pants are almost identical to the Jounin style that Kakashi wears. The only difference is that the 'ankle wraps' that start halfway down the shins are black)

In a chiding tone, he said, "Now, now, Sasuke-chan, can't have you being beat up so soon."

Naruto stood as the others did, allowing the audience a clear view of the back of his shirt. Stitched in what was clearly silver silk was the kanji for the name "Genkuro".
(現黒)

Ignoring Lee (the one in the funky spandex) and the others, Naruto walked back over to Hinata, lacing his fingers with hers. Without a backward glance (though Hinata could feel her cousin glaring at her), they left for the third floor, Sasuke following them shortly afterward.

As they came closer to their destination, a voice called out from the balcony above them, "Hey, guy with the dark eyes!"

Turning around, Team Seven noticed Lee standing up in the balcony, black eyes focused wholly on Sasuke, "Will you fight me right here?"

He jumped down from the balcony, "My name is Rock Lee. When you want to know a person's name, you introduce yourself first, right?"

Sasuke smirked, "Uchiha Sasuke. Heh, so you know?"

Lee moved into a Taijutsu stance, "I want to test my skills against the offspring of the Genius ninja clan."

Naruto tuned out the fight, deeming it pointless. After all, how was it his business if the great and mighty Uchiha Sasuke lost a fight?

Naruto had to strengthen his control when the fight ended and Lee's sensei, Maito Gai, showed up clad in the same green spandex as his student. His interest was slightly peeked when Gai claimed to be Kakashi's rival, but he overall ignored it.

When everything was said and done, Sasuke had lost his fight, and the team had been introduced to another of the Jounin senseis, even if he was from a year before them.

Now, they stood in front of the large double doors that would take them to the Chuunin Exam. With their hearts pounding from anxiety, they pushed open the doors and stepped inside.

No sooner had they walked through the doors than a rabid blonde girl flung herself on Sasuke, screaming, "Sasuke-kun! You're late!"

She hung off his shoulder, ignoring or just not noticing the scowl on his face. With a ridiculous grin on her face, she whispered into his ear, "I haven't seen you for a while, so I've been waiting in excitement!"

"You guys are taking this stupid test too? Man, this sucks." a voice said. Turning, Naruto distinctly saw the pineapple shaped hair of Nara Shikamaru and the obese form of Akimichi Chouji.

Grinning mischievously, he said, "Hey! If it isn't the idiot trio!"

"Well, well," Naruto found himself turning again to seek out the owner of the voice, though he had a good idea of who it was, "It seems all of the rookie nine are here. I wonder how far we'll get, eh, Sasuke-kun?"

All of the sudden, Inuzuka Kiba, the owner of that voice, was pummeled by two rabid Sasuke fangirls (Sakura and Ino), one of which was his own teammate. The last member of team eight, Aburame Shino, shook his head in disappointment.

Sasuke smirked, "You seem confident, Kiba. Care to say that again from where you are on the floor?"

For the third time that day, Naruto turned to find the owner of a new, older voice, "Hey you guys. You should be quieter."

The speaker had long silver hair pulled into a ponytail and glasses. Naruto snorted, and ignored the majority of his speech, only registering that his name was Kabuto. His interest was peaked, however, when the older Genin mentioned his "nin info cards".

Apparently, Sasuke was also interested, "Do you have info on individuals?"

Kabuto nodded, "Yup."

Sasuke smirked in a satisfied way, "Then, find me…Gaara of the Hidden Sand and Uzumaki Naruto and Rock Lee of the Hidden Leaf."

Kabuto smiled, "Oh, you have their names. This should be easy then. We'll start off with Uzumaki Naruto."

Swiping a card off of the deck, Kabuto added chakra to it and…it remained blank, "It appears that there isn't an Uzumaki Naruto."

"Not possible," Sasuke growled, jerking his head in Naruto's direction, "Because he's standing right here!"

Kabuto looked up, adjusting his glasses, "Oh. You're Naruto, eh? Well, I guess I could do a search on people with the name Naruto. Even if there's more than one, we know what he looks like, ne?"

The veteran leaf nin took another card from the stack, channeling chakra into it. He smiled when the picture showed who he was looking for, "Ah, here we go! But his last name isn't Uzumaki, it's…"

Kabuto froze as he read the surname belonging to the person on the card. Shakily, he said, "K-Kazama! B-but how? They're all dead!"

Sasuke had grown impatient, "What does it say?"

Stuttering slightly, he said, "K-Kazama Naruto. Age: Twelve. Mission History: Fifteen D-rank, One A-rank. His sensei is Kakashi and his teammates are Uchiha Sasuke, his rival, and Hyuga Hinata, who is his girlfriend. His most noticeable skills are the A-ranked Jutsu Rasengan and-and…"

Sasuke growled, "Spit it out already!"

"…the super S-ranked Ninjutsu invented by the Yondaime, Hiraishin no Jutsu!"

Sakura asked a question everyone wanted the answer to, "What's so special about the name Kazama? I mean, sure, it's a bit weird that Naruto's surname was changed to Uzumaki, but what's so great about it?"

Kabuto sighed, putting the card back into the stack, "You don't get it, do you? The Yondaime's name was Kazama Arashi, and he was famous in most of the Five Great Countries for his special Jutsu, Hiraishin. But he was an orphan. He had no family: No parents, no aunts and uncles, no brothers or sisters, or cousins. This means that there's only one possible way Naruto's surname is Kazama. He'd have to be…"

"…Yondaime's son…" Naruto finished, a look of sadness and surprise on his face. Hinata interlaced her fingers with his, squeezing his hand firmly.

Attempting to break the awkward silence that had befallen the group, Kabuto pulled out another card, "Okay! Next, Rock Lee. Age: 13. Mission History: 20 D-rank, 11 C-rank. His sensei is Maito Gai and his teammates are Hyuga Neji and Tenten. His most notable skill is his Taijutsu."

Putting that card back, he took out another, charging it with chakra, "Next is Gaara. Mission History: 8 C-rank and One B-rank. I don't have much info, but…he appears to have come back from every mission without a scratch."

"Quiet down, you worthless bastards!" a voice said from the front, originating from a cloud of smoke. When the smoke had cleared, a man wearing a black trench coat stood in front of a group of ninja wearing…military uniforms.

"Thanks for waiting," the man said, "I am Morino Ibiki, examiner for the first test of the Chuunin Selection Exam. There will be no fighting without the Examiner's permission, and even then, killing is not tolerated."

He leveled a glare at them, "Those that defy my orders will be failed immediately. Understood?"

"We will now start the Chuunin Exam's first test," picking up a small object, Ibiki held it up for all to see, "You will pick up one of these tabs and sit in the seat assigned to you. Then the test will be handed out."

Once everyone had been seated, Ibiki picked up a peace of chalk and wrote the rules on the board, going over them aloud as well. After he had explained the rules in explicit detail, he gave the group a once over, "Begin!"

There was a collective shuffle as the entire group flipped over their tests. Sasuke stared down at question one, skipping over it when he couldn't answer. Naruto was in a similar situation, skimming over each of the questions as he attempted to formulate and answer. With a frown, both Genins came to a singular conclusion, "I can't answer a single one of these."

"This doesn't make sense," Sasuke told himself, "These questions aren't meant for people of our level. No regular Genin could answer these questions correctly, let alone without getting caught."

"The way the examiners are looking at us…it's as if they expect us to cheat," Naruto was trying to figure out the test in front of him, "And with the difficulty of the questions…"

Ibiki's words returned to Naruto, unbidden, "As Shinobis trying to achieve the level of Chuunin, be proud ninjas."

"That's it!" Now Naruto understood the purpose, "This test isn't about knowing the answers…"

Sasuke had and epiphany, "This test is about how well we can gather information without getting caught. The whole point is to cheat!"

Smirking, Sasuke focused his attention on the person in front of him and activated his Sharingan, copying his movements. Elsewhere in the room, Hinata and her cousin Neji activated their doujutsu as well, the Byakugan. Shino was using his insects to spy for him, and Akamaru, Kiba's dog, was quietly giving him the answers as well.

Gaara created his third eye, using it to spy on another's test paper. One of the Oto-nins in the exam used his ears to analyze the pencil movements of the person in front of him and come up with the answer. Lee and his other teammate, Tenten, used mirrors to copy off of someone's test.

Naruto was facing a conundrum. He knew the purpose of the test, yes, but how could he cheat without getting caught? Subtlety had never been a strength of his.

"Hey brat!"

"What is it?" he snapped, irritated, "This isn't the best time!"

"I've done some snooping, and…"

"What, what, what?"

"It seems you've got yourself a doujutsu."

Naruto didn't register what he said for a second, "I don't ca— wait, what?"

An irritated growl echoed throughout Naruto's mind, "You. Have. A. Doujutsu."

Naruto blinked, "I do?"

"YES! It came with absorbing more of my chakra!"

Naruto was a bit anxious, "What does it do?"

A snort came from the beast, "Not sure. All I know is that it has three levels to it. You can only activate the first."

"Really?" Naruto sighed mentally, "And how do I do that?"

"Channel chakra into your eyes."

Doing as he said, Naruto noticed that…nothing happened. Confused, he asked, "What?"

"I should have suspected as much," the Kyubi grumbled, "The first level of your doujutsu refines your eyesight. If your friend's Sharingan is anything like your new doujutsu, the second level will be the ability to copy taijutsu moves and low level jutsu, or something similar. I'm not sure about level three."

A soft whisper broke up their conversation, "Naruto-kun…"

"…I'll contact you when I have more info."

"Yes, Hinata-chan?" he asked quietly, his lips almost motionless.

She had her arms folded in front of her over top of her test. She was looking at him from the corner of her eye. With a small, almost unnoticeable motion, she slid her test from beneath her arms, just enough for him to make out the answers, "You can look at my test."

Naruto's lips curved upwards just the slightest, just enough for her to notice his appreciation, "Arigatou, Hinata-chan."

It took Naruto about ten minutes to copy all of the answers off of his girlfriend's test, but when he had, he was extremely relieved. Finally, about five minutes later, Ibiki spoke, "Okay. We will now start the tenth question."

Ibiki scanned the room for a second, "Before we get to it, I'd like to explain the extra rules. These are the rules of desperation. First, you must decide if you will take it or not."

Temari stood up, angry, "What if we choose not to?"

Ibiki leveled a glare at her, "If you choose not to, you and your teammates will fail. If you take it and answer incorrectly, you'll fail and loose the right to take the Chuunin Exam ever again."

His eyes swept the room, as if daring them to ask another question, "Those that do not wish to take it, raise your hand."

Many people shivered, having second thoughts of the exam. Still just as many raised their hands, quitting the Exam altogether. Naruto was only slightly nervous, and his girlfriend was afraid of what might be going on in his head. "Naruto-kun…"

The entire rookie nine stifled a gasp of surprise as Naruto's hand reached towards the ceiling. Then it came crashing down on the desk in front of him, "I don't care about ranks or titles. I don't think some enemy Nin is going to care either. An enemy won't care if you're Genin, Chuunin, or Jounin, and neither do I. But I'm going to become Hokage, and even if getting this question wrong means doing that as Genin, I won't back down."

Ibiki was unfazed, "Your life is riding on this decision. This is your last chance to quit."

Naruto leveled a deadly glare at him, allowing a small amount of killing intent to ooze from his form, "I follow my inflexible words. That's my Nindo."

The tension in the room seemed to disappear at his brave words, even more so with the confident tone of his voice. Ibiki smiled, "Now, everyone remaining, I congratulate you on passing the first test!"

A bundle of cloth broke through the window, flying into the center of the room and attaching itself to the ceiling via kunai. From within the bundle came a purple haired Kunoichi wearing nothing but a trench coat and a miniskirt over the standard fishnet mesh.

Standing up, she addressed the group as a whole, "You guys! This is no time to be celebrating!"

She smirked at them, "I am the examiner for the second test, Mitarashi Anko!"

(A/N)

Now then, since Naruto already has the Rasengan, I need a jutsu for him to learn/create during the 'Search for Tsunade' arc. It can either be a speed jutsu like the Hiraishin, a jutsu like Rakurai, or a jutsu like the Rasengan.

Category One: Speed Supplementary
Denkousekka— lightning speed

Category Two: Powerful Orbs
Raikou no Kyuutai— Orb of Lightning
Kyuuden— Ball lightning
Tsukuyomi— Moon God
Amaterasu— Sun Goddess

Category Three: Powerful Strikes
Shuurai— Lightning strike
Raiden—Thunder and Lightning
Raigeki— being struck by lightning

When you vote fore one of these Jutsu, state their name and their category number. The Jutsu with the most votes will be chosen as the jutsu Naruto will learn/create during the 'Search for Tsunade' arc.

Keigan— discerning (keen) eye

Maneshigan— copycat eye

Bokugan— predicting eye

Zennougan—Almighty eye

Zennougan—Almighty eye: This doujutsu is similar to the Sharingan in appearance. However, it only stays that way at levels one and two. When the third level of this doujutsu is activated, the tomoe pattern swirls together to form a tri-bladed shuriken almost identical to the Mangekyou Sharingan that Itachi possesses. Once all three levels are attained, the complete Zennougan must be activated in a set pattern. First, the Keigan must be activated, then the Maneshigan, followed by the Bokugan. They must be activated in that order one at a time.

The first level of the Zennougan doujutsu, Keigan, sharpens the vision, making things and details easier to see. The second level, Maneshigan, allows the user to copy any bodily motions, such as hand seals and taijutsu moves. NOT jutsu, just the hand seals. The third level, the Bokugan, allows the user to predict the opponent's next move. This is only effective when the user is as fast as or faster than his opponent. Unlike the Sharingan (Mangekyou), the Zennougan has no inherent Genjutsu abilities nor does it change the color of the irises.

I've got enough people pointing this out to me so I'll say it before anyone else does. I know about the Mangekyou's specific Jutsu. I know about Itachi's Tsukiyomi and Amaterasu. These names are what this fic's Naruto would come up with. They were chosen based firstly on his character, and secondly on what the mean. Therefore, they are not taking into account other jutsu by the same name.

Kyra-chan's Corner: Hello all. I had fun reading this chapter. It was real good. Anyhow, I need you people to sign this important document to help save anime.
