Summary: The battle between Naruto and Sasuke has officially begun. The two push themselves to their limits so that they can become Chunin. but who will win?

Disclaimer: I do not own this story.

Let's begin!

(Last time)

Naruto channels Kurama's chakra then goes to his bijuu mode and fox sage mode, ready for the battle to begin.

Sasuke uses Eternal Mangekyôu Sharingan then uses the perfect Susanoo, ready to win this battle no matter the cost.

The final chunin exams begin, who will win? One of the survivors of the Uchiha clan or the last of the Uzumaki clan?

Will Naruto reach his goals or Will Sasuke finally obtain the power to achieve and surpass his older brother?

(Now)

Naruto fires off two-tailed beast bombs then jumps in the air to fire two others.

Sasuke blocks them all by using his Susanoo to cut them in half, destroying them.

The two genins rush towards and attack each other, despite showings their newfound forms at the exam for the first time.

Sasuke use his Blaze release then infused it with Lighting release and mix it with Indra's Arrow and fires three of them at Naruto but Naruto easily dodges them and then block the last one.

The Uchiha then punches the earth which releases a lot of lightning, hitting and shocking Naruto in the process.

The Uzumaki counter-attacks by making 20 shadow clones then they all fire a tailed beast bomb at Sasuke, making him fall to the ground.

Then, he proceeds to beat the shit out of The Uchiha and their fists collide with one another.

The Uchiha use his Enton: Ryûusenka no jutsu and fires at Naruto, who fires a tailed beast bomb at him.

The explosion made everyone shiver in fear, afraid of what will happen if Sasuke and Naruto kill one another.

Danzo however, was amazed by the power of the Sharingan and the Kyuubi, he wanted to use them as bait so he can finally become the Hokage and make Hiruzen suffer and make sure that Konoha will stay in the shadows for good.

He wanted to be the Hokage so he can control everything.

Kurenai was still spectating in fear and shock by Naruto's power after defeating Hinata and Hiruzen was thinking about how to punish her.

She wanted to honour her sensei's memory and look what got her: pain and hatred.

And now, she will soon have her punishment after the end of the chûnin exams.

(Meanwhile at the infirmary with Hinata)

Hinata finally wakes up after being defeated and she remembered everything. her confession to Naruto, her beating the brutal crap out of Ino to show her affection for Naruto,

Her sanity began to break so she can be with the jinchûriki of the kyûbi, her very first defeat at the chûnin exams and being sent to the infirmary.

For Hinata, she wanted Naruto because she loved him but he chose Ino instead of her.

Since that day, the Uzumaki hated the Hyuga for what she did to Yamanaka at the chunin exams.

But for now, the Hyuga can forget her so-called fantasy because it's never gonna happen.

Even if it did, what would she gain from the jinchûriki?

Nothing, absolutely nothing.

Because she felt was the emptiness after being rejected by her so-called future husband, Naruto and being lied to by her sensei, Kurenai.

She wanted to make them pay for what they did to her, the same way goes for her father and leader of the Hyûga clan, Hizashi.

But after being defeated by Uzumaki's new jutsus, she was too shocked by the power of the jinchûriki and was defeated by him.

All she feels right now in this moment is the emptiness.

She decides to go to chunin exams, hoping that Naruto will forgive her for what she did to Ino.

But let's just say that Hyuga and her sensei will receive a ruthless punishment.

After all, this is no illusion nor fantasy, this is reality itself.

(Meanwhile: at the chûnin exams with Naruto and Sasuke)

Naruto continues to fire three Tailed beast bomb and Rasenshuriken at Sasuke, who keeps on firing his Enton: Hôosenka no Jutsu at the Uzumaki and their jutsus collide with each other.

The Uzumaki grabs the Uchiha with his tails and slams him on the ground and his Kage no bunshin no jutsu to attack the Uchiha, but Sasuke uses his Sharingan and saw the real Naruto, who's rushing towards him.

As for the clones, he throws them and slams them on the ground.

The clones have disappeared and now, it was only Naruto and Sasuke again to see who's the strongest ninja in this exam.

After 5 minutes, their newly strongest forms have run out, meaning that they haven't mastered it yet.

With that, Sasuke decides to combine his Enton and Katon with his Chidori while Naruto prepares to use his jutsu: Rasengan.

But this time, the Uzumaki's Rasengan is infused with wind release combined with the Kyuubi's chakra both made of red and orange-like chakra.

This is it, the final strike to see who wins.

Naruto and Sasuke rushed at each other with their jutsus.

'Sasuke, thank you for being my friend. that's why I'll win. For otou-san, okaa-san, Iruka-sensei, Kakashi-sensei, Sakura and Ino. I will win and become the Hokage, no matter what!'Naruto thought to himself as he continue to rush with such an immense chakra coming from his jutsu and Sasuke did the same.

The two shinobis can read each other's thoughts, hearts and minds.

That's what the shinobi always do.

"NARUTO!"Sasuke roar at the top of his lungs as he's aiming at the Uzumaki with the newly-infused blaze release with the combination of his fire release and Chidori, the three releases became one.

"SASUKE!"Naruto roar at the top of his lungs as he's aiming at the lone survivor with this newly-infused red-purple orange chakra mixed with the blue chakra of the fourth Hokage, who's his father's jutsu: Rasengan.

Naruto and Sasuke's jutsus collided with one another and suddenly, the entire arena is shaking like never before.

Even the explosion makes people like Danzo, the village elders, Jeff and Kurenai shit bricks themselves.

That's what you get for disrespecting the son of the fourth Hokage and the red habanerô, dattebayo!

When the smoke is cleared, we see that the only one standing is Naruto Uzumaki!

As for Sasuke, he was on the ground, kneeling to the victor.

"The final chûnin exams end! the winner is the gâki, Naruto Uzumaki!"Anko says and Naruto gives the reconciliation no jutsu to Sasuke and the two bump fists for the first time.

"Congratulations Team 7! you're now chûnins!"Hiruzen says in pride and happiness and Kakashi's students take their prizes and they're no longer genins, they're now officially chûnins.

And now, the moment we've been waiting for.

"Attention everybody! I would like to say something!"Naruto says to everyone and he got their attention and they're ready to listen to him.

"I want to say to Inochi Yamanaka's daughter, Ino Yamanaka, that I have feelings for her and that I like her a lot and I was hoping if I could ask her out. so what do you say, Ino, is it a date?"The Uzumaki says and the people were quite proud of him of his confession while to some other shinobis, it got a little bit embarrassing.

Oh, come on! give him a break, would ya?

"Yes, it's a date. I'll see you tomorrow, Naruto."Ino says before hugging and kissing Naruto on the cheek, causing the jinchûriki to faint and Sakura sighed in relief she's proud of her teammates for reaching their goals.

Ino and Sakura are now friends again and they're happy that the daughter of Inochi is going out with the son of the 4th Hokage and red habanerô.

Hinata heard Naruto's confession and she break into tears and rage, it was supposed to be her, not the blonde.

Why does this have to happen to her?

She wanted to be with Naruto, not feeling the pain of being rejected and neglected by her sensei, her clan and her so-called fantasy husband.

But what she and Kurenai are about to receive is going to be a lot worse.

(Hokage's office: after the chûnin exams with Kakashi, Asuma, Hiruzen and Kurenai)

After the chûnin exams, Hiruzen asks Asuma about how Hinata learns genjutsu and after getting info from him, he sends his ANBUs to inform Kurenai that he would like to speak to her about the consequences that she has made during the match between Ino and Hinata.

Kurenai arrives with a smile but Hiruzen, Kakashi and Asuma were so pissed off for the match that she stopped smiling.

She tries to hug her lover but he shoved her off like trash because that's what she is to him: nothing but trash.

"Kurenai Yûhi, because you taught Hinata Hyûga genjutsu and let her beat Ino Yamanaka brutally during the match, I'll have you and your student demoted back to genin. as for Shino and Kiba, they will be sent to different teams effective immediately."Hiruzen says with a small amount of venom to Kurenai, who's listening before she can justify herself.

"But Hokage-sama, you can't! I had no choice but to teach the demon-brat a lesson about what he has done to my sensei! You can't treat me like this!"Kurenai justifies with surprise and shock to the 3rd Hokage.

"Silence! Kurenai, you of all people should know that the demon-brat has finally mastered the Kyûbi's chakra and made it his own. As for the demon-brat, as you all like to call him, his name is Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki. The son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. Never speak ill of his parents in my presence again. Do I make myself clear?"Hiruzen says to Kurenai while radiating killer intent, making her feel more scared than shocked by the revelation.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"Kurenai says in shame and disappointment for the first time.

"Get out of my office, Genin!"Hiruzen says to Kurenai with venom and she leaves but before she left, she asks Asuma one thing.

"Asuma Sarutobi, do you truly love me?"Kurenai asks her former lover but he gives her a death glare.

"Why should I love you? You're nothing to me and I'm in love with someone else. So no, I don't love you Kurenai Yûhi, I hate you and I'm breaking up with you. Oh and do another thing for me genin, jump from a window and go to the Shinigami's realm. Get out of my sight if you know what's good for you."Asuma says to Kurenai with darker venom and a cold look on his face and the student of Kushina leaves the Hokage's office.

Kurenai has nothing now, she lost her lover, her title as jonin, her students and her pride as a kunoichi.

One day, she will make that Uzumaki pay, but for now, she will train herself as a genin so revenge can taste all the sweeter when she gets her revenge.

The same way goes for Hinata after she and Kiba eavesdrop on their conversation and talk to Hinata, who's in surprise and shock.

The Yûhi and the Hyûga are now officially been demoted to genins.

Let's just hope to Kami that they survive this trial as genins.

DONE!

I hope you enjoy the tenth chapter of Rising of the fox as much as I do.

Now for this chapter, Hiruzen has had Kurenai and Hinata demoted to genins.

Naruto finally confesses his feelings for Inochi's daughter to the village elders and asks Ino out.
