The elimination fights looked like in the original so I will not describe them.
-Fights in the third stage will be as follows
1.Naruto Uzumaki vs Neji Hyuuga 2.Sasuke Uchiha vs Gaara
3.Fuu vs Temari
4.Shikamaru vs Dosu
5.Kurotsuchi vs Shino Aburame
-Then I fight with Neji in the first fight - Naruto thought looking at his opponent
-The third stage will take place in a month, so you can use this time for proper preparation.
After clarifying the details, everyone left the tower, Naruto and Karin walked towards the Hokage building.
-Onii-chan!
Hearing the new voice, the couple turned to see Kushina and their daughters
-Good morning Naruto, I heard that you made it to the third stage of the chuunin exam, I wanted to congratulate you.
"Thank you Kushina-san," he replied in a normal tone, without any negative emotions
Kushina deeply rejoiced at this, it was a little progress but progress, she hoped that in the future their relations would improve much, then she looked at the girl next to her son, she immediately recognized that she belongs to the Uzumaki clan
-You are from the Uzumaki clan, are you right? - She asked, surprising Naruto
-Yes, my name is Karin Uzumaki
-Wait, does that mean we're related in some way?
-Yes, actually you are distant cousins.
-Well I'm glad to meet my cousin, unfortunately we have to go to the Hokage goodbye Kushina-san, Saya, Kasumi
-Kaa-chan, will Onii-chan forgive us? - Saya asked
-Time will tell you must be of good cheer
Naruto and Karin arrived at the Hokage's office, Hiruzen gave the girl sheets to fill in, thanks to which she was recognized as Konoha's kunoichi, Sandaime asked Karin to live in the apartment opposite Naruto's apartment, the girl agreed immediately. The blonde created a clone, which he told Karin to show her apartment while he himself went to the hospital.
Sachiko regained consciousness some time ago, she was currently sitting on the bed, suddenly she heard a knocking sound.
-Please.
-Hello Sachiko-chan - Naruto said entering the room
-Naruto
-How are you?
- It's much better, unfortunately I still have to sit in this stupid hospital.
-I am sorry, if I hadn't left then you wouldn't have ended up like this
-It's not your fault, don't worry, it was an opponent who, even if you were with us then, it would not change anything - she said, wiping his cheek with her hand - "I heard that you passed the third stage of the exam, congratulations" - she added kissing the blonde on the cheek
-Hehehe, thanks, and I just brought you something to eat.
Naruto pulled out a basket in which there were fruits and sweets, the blonde sat in the room for a moment talking about what had happened during the qualifying rounds, then he gave Sachiko a rest and left the room at the reception, he met Kakashi.
-O Kakashi sensei good that you are, what about my training?
-Forgive Naruto, but I'll be busy and I won't have time for you.
-Ehh ... Wait, are you going to train Sasuke-teme, are you right?
-Yes, but don't worry, I wouldn't leave you with anything, I found a better teacher for you.
-Yeah, where is he?
-You meet him at hot springs.
Naruto raised an eyebrow, then went outside
