Naruto's Various Chūnin Selection Exams Finals
Disclaimer: Masashi Kishimoto is the author and creator of the popular manga and anime Naruto, and has ownership of all official characters, ideas, countries, backgrounds, etcetera from the series. Anything else that pops up that's not original or is simply cameo I do not own, that includes crossover cameos, fictional cameos, celebrity cameos, and real-world cameos. All I own in this are the story's originality and plot, the ideas that may appear to not make it full-time on its own, any and all of my Original Characters both with background and of filler purposes, original jutsu, techniques, and original countries and locations to expand the horizon within the Naruto world.
Author's Note: This came to me after discovering the many different Naruto stories out there that go through their own Chūnin Selection Exams. Each one vastly differs from the rest, and others have a crossover flavor. This is MY version of Naruto's Chūnin Selection Exams Finals... against mostly Neji in different mannerisms. Each one can be considered its own separate little story, exploring the different sides of Naruto in my list of favorites and few chosen selections recommended by friends and fans of my works. Beware however that some of them will sound like crack.
Avada Kedavra!
"May I have your attention!" he (the Jōnin for the finals, Genma) called out, waiting as everyone stopped talking and focused all their attention down on him, "Now, welcome to the final matches of the Chūnin Exams. Before we begin, let's once again introduce the eight Genin who made it all the way here today." The youths stood at attention as the applause echoes for the youths waiting to win this tournament and earn the rank of Chūnin.
"Now, like in the Preliminary Exams, a winner is decided if the opponent cannot continue, by death, or if I step in to stop the match."
Hyuuga Neji vs. Uzumaki Naruto
"Now, would Hyuuga Neji and Uzumaki Naruto step up? The rest please vacate the arena floor."
The other Genin not involved in the first match retreat off the field towards the stands, where the other Genin and their senseis stand at attention. The Suna-nins stayed well away from the Konoha-nins, however. In the Hyuuga Sky Box were Hiashi and his younger daughter Hanabi.
"There isn't another who received such thick Hyuuga blood, so watch closely, Hanabi," he told his daughter.
"Hai otou-sama," she answered.
"You will not win this match," Neji says, "Fate denies your victory."
"Hyuuga Neji VS Uzumaki Naruto! Hajime!" shouts the Proctor, before disappearing to watch from his safety area off the field.
Naruto stared as Neji taunted him; calling him a dead-last and that fate would grant him this fight and prove he was a loser. Naruto simply replied that if he was a loser why was he a slave to his own clan with the seal on his forehead behind his hitai-ate. That action pissed Neji off and he charged at him with anger in his eyes. Naruto gazed to the crowds and saw Hinata. Their eyes lock and she gave a gentle nod.
FLASHBACK
"Her heart should be better now, as long as she takes her potions, Naruto," Hermione informed Naruto, who nodded, thankful for the young woman's help. The world's greatest witch of her generation and inventor of potions and medicines that would cure many ailments and problems commonly dealt with in the muggle world (as well as the wife of Harry Potter; yes you read right!) for wizarding counters.
"Thank you Hermione."
She smiles softly.
"Hinata, are you feeling okay?"
She nodded gently; amazed the young woman healed her heart when all the best the Medic-nins could do were weekly sessions in chakra re-genesis therapy (in this part of the short story Hinata has not yet met Kabuto who healed her heart in a snap before his ultimate betrayal of Konoha).
"You should take it easy though, but given a couple of weeks you'll be back to normal," Hermione informed the girl.
"Hinata... we should just leave. This village does not love us."
"Naruto-kun..."
Naruto held her hands in his.
"When you looked at me three weeks ago... before Neji-teme struck you in the heart... I saw your emotions. I'm sorry I didn't see them sooner. Please... forgive me..."
She tears up. "N-Naruto-kun... I don't blame you..."
He hugs her, and Hermione smiles sadly at the scene. Young love. She was reminded of all those times she's had similar moments with Harry throughout their Hogwarts years.
"Let's run away then, together... Hinata-hime..."
She looks deeply into her eyes. "Where can we run off to? We'll be hunted down for abandoning the village. And my... my father will have me branded like a slave and locked away in the clan compound if I run away with you."
"Hiashi will never touch you nor will he and that clan of old stooges soil your beauty with that cursed seal of theirs." His eyes blazed with emotion, and Hinata sees it clearly. "And I know a place where we can go."
And he directs his gaze to Hermione.
"Harry and I talked about this for quite awhile, and we knew that one day Naruto would come seeking our world for a new life. We're prepared to help in any way we can." She took out two medallions on chain necklaces.
Naruto looks to Hinata.
"Well?"
"... Okay. Let's run away together."
Naruto smiles, and kisses her. This would be one of many kisses they would share for the years to come.
END FLASHBACK
He simply took out a brownish gray ash stick and leaps out of his attack range. He twists his body around and points his "stick" at the Hyuuga prodigy.
"Avada Kedavra!"
Neji wasn't fast enough and he was struck by the jet of green light in the back. He collapsed to the dirt face first and ceased to move. Neji attempted to assassinate Hinata a month ago during the prelims, and should have been court-marshaled because the Hokage himself had been watching. But nothing could be done and the Hyuuga council members did nothing about the incident leaving Sarutobi's hands virtually tied. Both he and Hinata have decided to take matters into their own hands, and had been fully prepared for this moment. As predicted, the Hyuuga council that were there along with Hiashi, stood up shocked and angry Neji was defeated so effortlessly and by a jet of green light fired form a STICK. Genma Shunshins next to Neji and gasped; he had to make the announcement.
"Winner by death: Naruto Uzumaki!"
Naruto looks to Hinata.
"Hinata, activate the Portkey now!"
Hinata got up and grasped a phoenix-shaped medallion. Uttering the name of her dead mother, she vanished in a crack of magic shocking their friends and teammates they are going to leave behind. Naruto took off his hitai-ate and threw it into the air, where with a short Reducto it was destroyed. He snaps his wand next and discards it whilst drawing his real one: Japanese Black and White Pine in a spiral helix fuse, at nine inches of length, with the core of an ancient fox demon.
"I quit, and Hinata and I are leaving this cesspool of a village and are eloping, so fuck you Hiashi and your abusive clan!" With the middle finger flashed, he grabs his own medallion and utters the name Kurama. The fox sealed inside him simply smirks as his jailer vanished in a crack of magic before the ANBU could stop him. Naruto and Hinata left chaos and pandemonium in their wake.
In another world, linked by an ancient city some known as the Forbidden City, a wizarding couple waited for Naruto to arrive, before all four leave for England. Naruto and Hinata started a new life together, where Hinata soon also learned she too could wield magic like Naruto, and being able to put down the blood-stained weapons of their kunai live their life as normal teenagers (teenagers that could climb walls with their feet and roof hop like superheroes could in comic books *coughBatmancough*). The old life they abandoned that was filled with nothing but pain and hardships, never came back... until twelve years later... when a certain one-eyed scarecrow, a pink-haired woman, a man with a giant of a white dog, and a woman with the reddest of red eyes emerged through a portal of the old Uzushiro ruins and into the Forbidden City baring the hitai-ates of the Shinobi Alliance.
