6 months later -
It was a nice bright day. Today was a big day. The chunnin exams were here. Every genin's dream. It was a pretty important day for the jinchuriki and his companion as well. Well, they had got their ass handed to themselves in just a slightly tougher version of their training. In that training they realised their current position.
Being that strong like Sannins should have been illegal. Then there were Danzo-sama and Hokage-sama who were literally the teachers of these Sannins. The shinobi world was truly a fascinating yet fucking dangerous place...
These were Naruto's thoughts until he heard a knock on his door. It was probably Sai... that motherfu*ker had trained his ass off. He was nowadays acting like a fucking machine. Destroying things in training like crazy. It's not like he himself had slacked off but he was a jinchuriki, he should and must be able to train as hard as he did. But for a 13y/o kid from a fucking civilian family to work that hard. Was he influenced by Konoha's Blue Beast ? But that couldn't have been possible as they were living in different worlds. Well... shinobi world was truly fascinating...
Naruto was thinking all this when he heard a loud bang on his door. Apparently, he had been dreaming a lot nowadays, even if it didn't appear on his face, his companion knew it. Hopefully, he also had the same respect for him.
Anyways, he stopped thinking and moved out of his room. They lived in ROOT's residential quarters.
He came out and saw Sai wearing a plain white t-shirt with black colored pants and brown boots and his tanto behind him as usual. He had some seals tattooed on his forearm, probably storage seals to store his inks, poisons, acids and what not.
Naruto wore the same dress and he also had his tanto behind his back.
"Ready?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, but what am I gonna do about these storage seals? A genin isn't supposed to have them." Sai asked.
"Yeah, about that.. I have these." Naruto said and flicked his left index finger and 2 beige cloaks came out.
"New seals? Did Orochimaru-sama made them?" Sai asked.
"Yes" Naruto replied.
Yeah, the snake Sannin had probably found his new passion in seals and Naruto being who he was, made a good test subject. But once in a while, some useful things like these came out of these experiments.
Well, after that they just dashed to the academy for the first test. Apparently, in these 6 months Kiri had also signed in for the chunnin exams with it's 2 jinchurikis. Utakata, jinchuriki of 6 tails and Yagura, jinchuriki of 3 tails and the Mizukage's son.
Then in the past week when Iwa's jinchuriki of 4 tails named Kurotsuchi arrived along with Fuu from Takigakure, jinchuriki of 7 tails arrived, the ROOT's Branch Squad #2 realized that shit was going to go down in the exams.
Now there were 15 highly and equally trained shinobis in the chunnin exams.
(Each jinchuriki with it's own Preventer* and Ichibi's jichuriki having 2 Preventers.)
Disclosed Info: The jinchuriki's permanent teammate trained to control them in case of a breakdown was officially known as a 'Preventer'.
They had taken an underground tunnel that opened directly behind the academy. When they got out they realized how crazy shit was. This year's chunnin exam probably had the most number of participants in the exam's entire history. Looking at the crowd on the academy grounds, there were probably 300-400 fucking participants.
How were they going to arrange fighting rounds? A fucking battle royal? Well, if that was going to happen then probably on weaponized jinchurikis and their teammates were going to remain unless if someone was Uchiha Itachi or Hatake Kakashi. Speaking of Itachi-san, wasn't his brother going to participate this year ?
Well, they put their hoods and ROOT's mask on and blended in within the crowd. When the door finally opened, they moved in and started climbing the stairs to the first floor, then on the first floor they found that the gatekeepers were using henge to fool these people. Who would be fooled by this ? Oh wait, they were meant to be genins... but still.. really? There is a crowd of 300-400 shinobi and you are blocking the entire last, someone realized that it was just a henge and the crowd moved or else it was looking like Sai was going to walk on the ceiling to reach the room.
Looking at these genins, who didn't know anything about the weapons walking among them mad Naruto kinda... sad. But wait, weren't they ROOT? Weren't they not supposed to have any emotions like this? Well, it didn't work that way.
The human emotions are not something that can just disappear or be forgotten, they could be suppressed and ignored. All this training and all these killings was just to improve the art of ignoring one's emotions...
The crowd of 300-400 shinobis got dissipated in 10 rooms with 40 shinobi each and the room which Sai and him got was fucking filled with jinchurikis and their Preventors.
He could feel other tailed beasts and apparently Sai was also able to, since he got more alert as they approached the door.
"You can feel them, right?" Sai asked just before the door.
"Yes, all 6 are there and I am the last." Naruto replied.
"Well then, shit's starting... Welcome to the chunnin exams !" Sai replied with the fakest smile that Naruto had seen.
Author's Note - Sooooo.. the 2nd installment is here and I got 51 views and 2 followers after that 1st chapter. While I do agree that the 1st chapter was pretty cliche but I assure you, you would be getting good chapters from now on. I have pretty high hopes for this fic.
With that being said, I am also open to new ideas for future arcs as it's my first time writing a fanfic. You can d.m. me with ideas on reddit on following username: u/passenger-of-life_
At last, all I want to say is thanks for reading and you can review it if you have something that you didn't like or just compliments.
See you soon !
