Chapter Seven: Tenten's gift and Exams of a lifetime!
Naruto worriedly walked through the streets of Konoha with a scroll in his hand. Hokage-jiji said that Tenten was in the hospital, So like a good friend he was going to check on her and give her the best get well soon gift ever! What more did Tenten like then swords? "Shuriken, Kunai, Explosives, Senbon, Spiky wrecking balls, Oh! did I mention explosives?" There that voice was again. But at least he helped fight Haku. And he killed Haku and Zabuza. And he Helped save that Yakumo girl. He just wished the voice wasn't so violent at times. Everyone he killed lost their heads. But that was Besides the point. After Naruto got the room number he went to go see Tenten. He just hoped that Neji guy wasn't around. Pessimistic Prick. The Uzumaki knocked on the door with a worried look on his face. "Come in!" With that Naruto brightened and opened the door, to be greeted by the sight Tenten lying on the Hospital bed mildly bandaged. "Hi Naruto." The weapon mistress of Konoha said with a smile.
"Hey Tenten! Hokage-jiji told me you got hurt on a mission so I brought you a feel better gift!" The blonde Uzumaki beamed. "What did you bring?" Tenten was excited at the possibilities for a gift, A new sword? a wrecking ball? those extra explosive explosive tags he gave her that one time? Naruto took the scroll and unfurled it revealing a sealing array on the scroll. Tenten having used seals most of her career noticed that there was a couple more strokes.
"You ready Tenten?" Having her thoughts cleared by her whiskered best friend Tenten nodded excitingly. A small burst of smoke appeared once Naruto unsealed what was inside the scroll. The sight of it had Tenten's jaw hanging. The Kubikribocho (Executioner's blade) gleamed in the sunlight revealing there to be seals all over it. "I got this from Zabuza when he tried to kill team seven. I added storage seals so you could store your weapons on it. There's also a couple of reinforcement seals just in case." Tenten shook her head and smiled at Naruto sincerely "Thank you Naruto." Said blonde chuckled Sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head. "Don't worry about it Tenten. Now I gotta go meet Kakashi-sensei... Oh and when are you getting out of here?" Tenten smiled at the Blonde's worry "I'll be out today actually." Naruto beamed. "Alright bye!" With that after resealing Kubikribocho and setting the scroll down our favorite blonde left. Tenten just shook her head smiling. She then laid back on her pillow to get some rest.
With Naruto
"When's the Chunin exams Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked with enthusiasm. "In two weeks my cute little Genin." Kakashi said with an eye smile. With that Naruto created a singular clone and both ran off in different directions.
Later With Naruto
Naruto created three clones who started practicing Kirigakure no Jutsu (Hidden Mist Jutsu) He started making it into tags. Once he finished that he practiced with his sword. "Mikadzuki: Zanshu supin! (Crescent moon: Beheading Spin!)" Naruto crouched low, His sword positioned at his side. He then jumped while spinning swinging his sword upward. As he was falling from the jump he slashed downwards, said slash would cut the head off his opponent.
The Kage Bunshin who was watching this then poofed sending the memories to Naruto. "A little slow, some openings for a counter attack. I'll need to use it in conjunction to That voice in my head's new attack. But other then that I think it was good." Naruto then proceeded to go buy weights and train untill practical death. Then the Uzumaki's infinite stamina kicked in and he would do it untill the day before the Chunin exams.
With Henge
"Have you figured it out yet?" The true Genjutsu Aijin (In my opinion) asked. With a sigh I answered. "I'm Afraid not, It's going to take a long time studying. If Jiraiya of the Sannin was here the progress would exponentially increase. But I'm no seal master unfortunately." Yakumo expression turned grim. "I'm not sure if I have years..." I looked up form my book and smiled. "I'll disable that seal before it kills you, That's a promise." Yakumo's face went from grim to happy. "I hope so Henge. I hope so. So your going to the Chunin exams?" My smile turned to a smirk. "I am, The competition won't know what hit em." With that I spent the rest of the time chatting with Yakumo until my chakra invevitibly ran out.
With Hiruzen
The old Hokage frowned. The question of letting Naruto into the Chunin exams when he was possibly a danger to everyone there was high. But not letting him go would prevent Sasuke from going. They needed the Uchiha's skill for political power. Then a thought struck him. He could summon Jiraiya to come back as quick as he could to check the seal. Finding his solution Hiruzen prepared
Stage one of the Chunin exams
"You will be tested in your Intelligence gathering and Torture resistance. Each one of your teams will lose a member and gain a opposing teams member. You are to find out what their code is. Anything but death and Maiming is allowed to extract your hostages info. If you get the code before the other team you pass. You have five minutes to determine who becomes the hostage And after that 20 minutes to get the code. Starting Now!" The scarred Head of TI Shouted.
Naruto looked at his teammates and gave them a determined stare "I'll go." Sakura looked surprised while Sasuke narrowed his eyes. Naruto then explained his reasoning. "I have clones and high pain tolerance. My clones can help me escape and subdue the people trying to torture me. I'm going whether you like it or not." Sasuke smirked "If you insist Dobe." Sakura just nodded along with Sasuke. The rest of the time passed and Naruto was handed off to an Iwa team.
With Naruto
After a couple minutes or punching Naruto figured he had stalled enough when they were about to hit him with a chair. "Gonna tell us the code yet?" Naruto just smiled in triumph. POOF. The Iwa Genin were confused when the smoke covered the room. First they heard rope cut then saw a sword get tossed. One threw the chair at the direction and heard a poof. Then they saw black.
With remains of team seven
Sasuke locked eyes with the Iwa Genin and his Sharingan activated. The Iwa Genin saw his own personal hell, And when Sasuke asked for his code under the threat of it happening again the Iwa Genin instantly complied. They walked out the door and said the code to the Chunin guarding the door across from them. "Team 7." Sasuke said with a even more deadpan voice then usual. The Chunin chuckled and let them in. The sight of the supposed interegators made the Chunin laugh.
Twenty minutes later
After everyone who passed gathered Ibiki was about to launch into a speech but was cut short by a tan and purple blur crashing through the window "Anko Mitirashi's the name and you brats are coming with me to Training Ground 44!" Ibiki fixed a glare at his co-worker who just chuckled and rubbed the back of her head Sheepishly.
Author's note
So, Chunin exams stage one finished! This stage is heavily inspired by Better left unsaid by Kenchi something.
Anyway I'm closing the poll by The Chunin Exam finish. Don't forget to vote!
Poll results (so far!)
Tenten 2
Ino 1
While I'm here I'm going to recommend Darkness rising. It's got a big Harem I mean Big. 40 people.
Anyway the story is by Midnight Lost. Again, I recommend it. Also it's got Lemon's.
I've come to realize that my chapters are short and some people don't want to read them. But I will expand chapters on longer arcs. For now everything is like Canon Naruto. On his three year leave he will change. But for now it's all sentimental Naruto.
Wait no. Sasuke retrieval arc will be much different. Much Different.
