Training Grounds

"Alright you old bastard! Come at me with all you got!"

"I think I should be telling you that…" Jiraiya's words were cut off as he dodged a wind blade. 'What the hell? A wind blade at his age?' In a series of dodges, Jiraiya escaped the nonstop barrage of wind blades only to be hit in the face by a clone who seemed to arrive from air itself. 'Incredible… He henged that into an insect…'

Jiraiya used a simple replacement jutsu to get some breathing room. This kid seemed to know his tactics. He heard a small sound to his right, 'Holy fu-' An explosion destroyed the tree he was in, but his quick replacement took him away from the area. He sensed danger to his back, using chakra to aid his legs, he jumped back. There stood Naruto, katana in hand. 'This kid…'. Jiraiya went on the offensive, creating a mud clone and using another kawimari to get out of the area. The clone attacked Naruto, sending a series of hits and blocking the incoming attacks with the kunai it held. The kunai turned to dust after Naruto infused wind into his blade. Jiraiya watched his clone turn to dust as the katana destroyed its head.

Jiraiya created the rasengan in his hand, with a chakra infused spring, he ran towards Naruto, 'let me see you dodge this!' To his horror he watched Naruto create a similar jutsu in his hand, and in a matter of moments the two met. He watched, transfixed as his own Rasengan was deteriorating in his palm… 'Wind infusion in the jutsu?' A type of implosion was made as Jiraiya was tossed away from Naruto, hand bloody and broken. "Where did you learn that?"

Naruto smirked, "I created it." He then shot the hermit a confused look, "Where did you learn it?"

"My student taught it to me…" Jiraiya gave a small smirk, "He was a wind type too, but he could never get what you just did down right."

"It took me a whole two days even with Kage Bunshin! Extremely difficult to contain, but after I got it, improving it came easy." Naruto gave a grin, "This is derived from that jutsu…" A ball of chakra in his hand became invisible, slowly disappearing into thin air…

"What the hell?"

The sound of intake was the only warning Jiraiya got as a gale of wind overtook the area. He shunshined out of there, watching from afar as a mini tornado appeared where he once stood, 'Is this kid trying to kill me?'

"So I hear you're my godfather?" He jumped as Naruto held a katana to his neck, "They always go back, never to the left or right like a smart person should?"

'Shit.' Jiraiya felt the bead of sweat drip down his forehead, "Your good gaki…" Jiraiya pushed the blade away from his neck, "Why do you say you need training?"

"Well I could always get better you fucking retard!" Naruto gave him a small glare, "Why didn't you try harder?" He jumped off the tree, "Even Hayate-Sensei, sick prick he is, does better than that old man."

"If I try harder than that, my hits would break bones, my jutsu would destroy you, and I'd move faster than you can track gaki."

"That's a lot of talk, but I can take hits… Besides you didn't even touch me once." Naruto sat down in the destroyed field, "Whatever, that's that, now I need you to give me elemental training tips for Earth already!"

"Why?" Jiraiya looked perplexed, "You already have wind!"

"What the hell is wrong with you and that old fucking bastard in that tower!" Naruto looked pissed, "What's so god damn wrong about wanting to learn more!"

"Well it's just uncommon gaki!"

"OI! You didn't answer me earlier!"

"ABOUT WHAT!"

"YOU'RE MY FAILURE OF A GODFATHER! WHERE IN THE NAME OF KAMI HAVE YOU BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE!"

"…" Jiraiya looked away.

"Don't give me that bullshit. You have the time to write five books, but you can't visit me?" Naruto had a blank face on, "It's like I don't even matter to this village…"

"That's not true."

"It is true… I can count on a single hand how many people even care that I exist." Naruto stared at the sky, "I only know one person that I can say I care about, how is that supposed to make me content?"

"Naruto…"

"Whatever, let's get on with the training you bastard."

Shaping always came first… Why didn't he think of that? Naruto stood in the epicenter of his mass amount of clones, doing a series of upper body workouts. It was good to stay fit. The rest of his clones were doing several types of elemental shaping techniques. He assigned one quarter to shaping blocks, another quarter into shaping disks, another quarter into doing poles, and the final quarter into doing spheres.

He had been at it for hours, but that was an average Naruto day. He paused as he let the sweat roll off his exposed chest. Barely thirteen and he was already extremely fit, holding a katana in those katas was not easy. A blade was heavy, even heavier when you had to hold it in certain positions. A blade worked muscles that were so miniscule the human eye could not tell of their existence… Unless you worked them out like crazy.

With a small intake of breath, Naruto dispelled all of his clones. 'Fuck.' That always bothered him. He stuck his arm into the ground, dug around for a bit and pulled out a block of dirt. Charging chakra into it, he threw it at a tree. He watched the block make a dent into the tree's surface, 'Not good enough… Yet.' Alas it had only been a week of training.

With a small glance back at the training field, Naruto disappeared in a swirl of leaves. Arriving at his favorite Dango stand, Naruto sat on a stool. "The usual Hina-Chan." He gave her the usual mysterious grin.

"Right away Naruto-Kun." He watched the way her hips swayed, this girl was very very well endowed by kami.

"Naruto-Kun? Who would ever call you that?" Naruto rolled his eyes at the sound of Yamanaka Ino's voice.

"Very beautiful women who see that I am a creature created by Kami to please them in every way." Naruto swiveled around to look at his guest.

"You? A creature of ka-" She paused as she took in his shirtless appearance. 'Holy sweet Kami…'

"Yes Eyeno-Channnn, take in my glory." Naruto stood up, walking slowly up to his pray, bring his face close to hers. He paused, leaned into her ear, placed her hand on his abdomen, "I can make you feel like Kami reincarnated."

Ino shivered as Naruto's words replayed over and over and over again in her mind… Her face turned tomato red, she was thirteen for kami's sake.

"Now I must be off, but please stop by my apartment at any time!" Naruto walked back up to Hina, dropped cash into her hand, and shunshined away with his dinner."

Lunch at his home was a quiet affair, he sat down at his table, pulled out his only chair, and ate. His mind wandered to the exams… It was really easy, and to be honest he was disappointed by everyone! Even last year's so called genius was lacking skills.

Twenty-two days left to master whatever the hell he wanted, to Naruto that was a very long time in training. He already had the basics of Earth manipulation, it was almost ridiculous how much easier Earth was to control than wind! It took him two months of non-stop elemental training to get wind down. At this pace, Earth would be done by the end of this coming week.

That was too soon… Gah much too soon, he needed to pace all this. He had been neglecting his Sealing arts as of late, 'Maybe if I make two thousand clones a day I can keep up with both…' Even Naruto knew that was pushing it. There was only so much memory intake he could process without suffering from a very major migraine.

' Hmmm…' He got into his usual thinking position, 'I barely started the intermediate scrolls last month… It's settled then, I need to make the sacrifice! Hehehe sorry brain, but you're going to be playing bitch for awhile.' Naruto pulled out a scroll, the one that he had acquired from a weapons store at the south end of the village.

It was mainly theory, but that's what he really needed to focus on right now. Practical stuff would only distract him from the true purpose of the symbols. Understanding seals was more than just drawing lines and elemental symbols. Every symbol controlled more than just an element, they caused changes, many many forms of changes that he knew were near limitless.

It was at this moment he realized that one scroll was not enough. He needed, hmm a thousand divided by five was two hundred, so he needed one hundred and ninety nine different scrolls on the meaning of symbols. After all, a thousand clones reading one scroll was a waste, no five a scroll seemed to make more sense. 'Where the fuck am I going to get scrolls on sealing?' "Oh yeah the Ninja archives!"

With a quick shunshin Naruto was at the door of the building. It was fairly noticeable, right at the entrance stood four columns. Two on each side. Each column had carvings of seals that he didn't understand imbedded in them. It was beautiful work, even he could tell that this was something that predated his current time. The entire building seemed to be made of wood, almost as if it arose in a single leap. Perhaps the first Hokage created the building himself?

Walking in, he was assaulted by the odor of old. He could smell dust, decay , and a whole lot of other things. The place was littered with shelves of nothing but scrolls. He was sure that there was some form of organization method, he just needed to ask the mediator of the place. Walking forward he felt some form of pressure on his body, 'A type of scanner?' That would make sense, there seemed to be a barrier of chakra that surrounded the body when one got close enough to the Archives area.

"Halt!" From the dark stepped out an ANBU guard, "Present your ninja license."

"Ah ANBU-San! Hmmm let me just get my wallet out really quick!" Naruto dug into his back pocket, revealing a lizard pouch, "Here we go."

"Thank you Naruto-San, please return to what you were doing." The ANBU disappeared into the shadows.

"Eh how am I supposed to find the scrolls I need in this fucking place?"

He underestimated the size of the damn place. There were hundreds upon hundreds of rows. Too many to just take a guess as to where the scrolls on sealing were. Naruto noticed that he was nowhere near the center of the building, perhaps starting there he would be able to find a key to this place. He walked straight down a path between rows, noticing that even the building itself was infused with seals. 'Is this advanced sealing?'

Two minutes later he reached a column. The column had plaques that listed row numbers, and beside the numbers were area names. He found sealing a moment later. Row fifty-seven B. He looked up, finding markers along the rows. He was near 106. Finding the sealing area was tricky, it was further into the building than he assumed… The row number didn't increase at all, they decreased the further he went in. He found the row five minutes later.

It wasn't large at all. It was actually very very small. There were only two shelves on sealing. He grabbed a scroll, 'Advanced Elemental Infusion.', something he hadn't heard of yet. It was then that he took count of the amount of scroll. There were only fifty- seven scrolls on sealing. Unrolling the scroll in his hand, he found that it was EXTREMELY long… 'Maybe two hundred scrolls is a tad bit excessive….' Naruto knew he couldn't' ready all these scrolls, so he picked ten out.

Beginning Elemental Infusion, Storage Seals, Seal Mechanics, Elemental Symbol Analysis, A Thousand Meanings, Barrier Seals, Understanding the Greater Aspects of Sealing, Sealing Arts, Explosive Seals, and Containment Seals.

The titles alone were confusing. Some of these things he hadn't even heard of. The basics were only meant to inform you of the value of sealing, that messing up could cause disaster, the basics only covered two hundred symbols and their meaning…. This was a whole new level of seal learning.

Carrying the scrolls in his arms, he returned to the front of the building. He was stopped by the ANBU.

"Where do you think you're going with those?" The ANBU stood in front of him.

"To read them?"

"You are not allowed to leave with scrolls…"

"Well I sure as hell can't read them here now can I?"

"You must forgive me, but I cannot allow you to leave with those."

"…" Naruto began to walk back into the aisles, perhaps he would need to seal them into a scroll…

Pulling out a sealing scroll he had purchased, he placed the scrolls within it. He headed back the front, scowl planted on his face. "Fucking happy?"

"Thank you…" That ANBU disappeared.

Naruto walked out of the building, feeling an extremely uncomfortable tingly feeling around his body.

Two Weeks Later

8 Days till Chuunin Exams

Seals were very fucking interesting… Naruto had stopped Elemental training completely when he began to read the scrolls. They were ridiculously complex, and he had gotten ten clones to reread the basic seals book he had purchased months ago. He had gotten through seven scrolls so far, using two thousand clones. This was insane.

Seals went beyond what he thought possible. He had gone back to the archives to study the seals imbedded in the wood columns and had found out that they had prevented theft. When one attempted to steal a scroll without the intent of bringing it back, the building wouldn't allow them to leave, instead it gave subconscious thought of leaving the building with nothing. That was just the intermediate stuff. The scroll on elemental infusion said that one could store water within scrolls. Not a cup of water, a fucking lake of water. That shit was beyond him at the moment. The most he could do so far was a small pond.

Seals were more than what people let on. Sealing scrolls could become more than just that. He had found out that a sealing scroll could become a summoning scroll just by tweaking the layout and adding a few fundamental symbols. With a few more advanced runes, one could possess the ability to self summon. Insane.

Naruto released the clones that he had reading the final three scrolls, and put away all the scrolls. He needed to go train with Hayate today. He was going to be learning a new dance.

Walking through a training ground he had picked, he heard commotion coming from the training ground to the left. With a quick shunshin he was upon the scene of Hyuuga Hinata attacking a training poll. She was drenched in sweat, but perhaps that had something to do with that oversized jacket she always fucking wore…

He noticed that she had her Byakugan active, good thing he found a way to beat that shit a long time ago. She was obviously pushing herself very hard, pushing large amounts of chakra into the pole, breaking off piece after piece. After a few more minutes of quick strikes, she removed her jacket.

'Holy mother of Kami….' Naruto was nearly drooling, 'This girl is fucking set!' He had never seen someone his age with such a nice rack! Beyond what he thought capable. He stared as she began to strike the pole again, her assets bouncing under her shirt… He made his decision.

With a quick jump, Naruto was walking up to a mobile Hyuuga. She didn't notice him, his wind hid him from such eyes. Placing his hand on her shoulder, he watched her go stark still, slowly turning her head, she fainted when her eyes landed on Uzumaki Naruto.

"Uh Hinata?" He picked her up off the ground, slowly stroking her face, he watched as her eyes fluttered open. She was so pretty!

"Naruto-Kun?" She smiled, "Is this a dream? You look so beautiful today Naruto-Kun?"

Oh ho ho! This girl must have a thing for him!

"Hinata-Chan…" He smiled, "You are the most beautiful girl I have ever laid my eyes upon." He stroked her cheek, "Let me take you to my home so that I may see your beautiful body in private."

"Oh Naruto-Kun!" Her arms touched his face, "I've waited for this day for as long as I can remember."

"Hinata-Chan, you must be my first lover…" He ran his hand through her hair, "We must make love Hinata-Chan."

"Yes Naruto-Kun! Make me yours." And she closed her eyes, the dream too much for her to handle.

'Eh? This girl is definitely going to be something! Heheheh.' Naruto placed her on the ground and was gone in a swirl of leaves.

"You're late…"

"My bad Sensei, I had a damsel in distress that I had to save."

"Whatever, we don't have time for this discussion." Hayate walked up to Naruto, "The finals are ridiculously close, and I know that you have no doubt whatsoever about the outcome, but I don't like to see you slacking off."

"Whoa there, just cuz your sick as fuck and can't train doesn't mean I'm a god damn slacker!" Naruto took a step forward, "I've been working my ass into the ground day in day out!"

"Odd that you would say that, seeing as how I haven't seen you training in over a week."

"I don't need to be seen to train sensei, besides I've been focusing on sealing for the past few weeks."

"Ah, that's what you've been up to." Hayate looked his student up and down, "Sealing huh? Well since you've been reading so much lately, tell me if you've learned of any new poisons, or is your technique slipping?"

"I've actually come up unstable form of Cyanide, a pellet filled with a gas, and when it pops, it causes the air to become contaminated with the gas for a good thirty seconds."

"Cyanide huh? Deadly Naruto, and very very dangerous." He gave him the stanky eye, "I approve, but I think I still have you topped." Pulling out a small vial filled with what looked like red ooze, Hayate smiled, "Antillium Perischeum, a mixture of two plants found in Kusa, causes the contaminated victim to hallucinate, bleed from every orifice, gouge out their own eyes, and feel excruciating pain before the brain shuts down."

"That's cruel Sensei." Naruto looked a little disturbed.

"Line your sword with a little bit of this and your guaranteed to cause someone's demise."

Naruto liked the idea, but holding the toxins at the moment seemed a bit ridiculous, I mean come on he wasn't going to use it on a poor genin… Yet.

"So can I show you some of the stuff I've been working on or what?"

"Be my guest."

Chuunin Exams

-Stadium

Shikimaru played his game well, he would give the kid that, but he was going to be beat by brute force if he continued to act like pussy. Naruto watched as Sasuke Uchiha sent a fireball directly at the retarded genius, he saw his eyes get quite big, and the substitution jutsu used directly after the affair was caught by the sharningan.

With quickness a bit unexpected from a genin, Sasuke planted his fist into the Naras gut causing the boy to lose his footing. Sasuke pulled a kunai out and held it to the boy's neck, "Don't even attempt the jutsu…" Shikamaru's chakra flow halted. A thirty minute battle all for this? Geeze.

"Winner: Uchiha Sasuke!" The crowd quite literally went wild, with mad cheers for the Uchiha flying all over the place. The bastard was loved by these people, even that was apparent. Naruto watched Shikamaru limp up the stadium stairs, boos and jeers following him up the stairs. There was a bit of shame in his eyes, but it served the aloof bastard right.

Sasuke left the floor and rejoined his team in the crowd. Round two was about to be announced. "Will Aburame Shino and Yamanaka Ino make their ways to the arena!" Moments later and the fight had begun.

Shino let out a very slow trickle of bugs, making it almost invisible to the naked eye that he was even letting them out. Ino went straight into the fight, fists blazing with chakra as she swung at the bug user. He evaded her every strike, planting a bug on her every time she came too close. She never noticed the small things, and no one was going to tell her about them. She continued her onslaught of pointless punches and kicks, and did a few choice moves to gain distance, flashing through seals, she let out a low level fire technique. Shino stopped the jutsu before it got six feet away from its caster.

Getting frustrated she began to use her families technique, placing her hands in an odd diamond shape, she fell limp. Shino looked perplexed, taking steps forward to his enemy, and placing a hand on her head. "You have taken over one of my insects, something I find amusing, and when you reenter your body I'm sure you're going to feel very odd…" He turned to the proctor, "Call the match, she isn't going to get up." He planted a swift chop to her neck.

Naruto could not contain his frustration with the situation, these people were kids! They had no chance out there in the real world! How the hell were they supposed to hold up to people like Uchiha Itachi and all those other god damn missing nins!

During his musings the next fight had begun. He missed the entire rant given by Hyuuga Neji pertaining to fate and that Lee was destined to lose before the fight had even begun. Lee hadn't given Neji a chance to finish his ridiculous rant, taking off his weights with a fast motion and baring down on the pompous Hyuuga. Lee planted fist after fist upon the pale skinned genius, finally being thrown off when Neji initiated a Kaiten.

Lee didn't look fazed as he once again charged in. Neji did another spin, but Lee avoided it and began to run around it, waiting for the Hyuuga to stop spinning, but he didn't expect the orb to expand as Neji pumped more chakra into the technique. Lee was thrown off his feet and into the dirt.

"You are destined to lose to me Lee…" Naruto was paying attention now, he knew what the outcome was going to be.

Lee shook as he stood up, a chakra enhance barrier did cause damage after all…

"Forgive me Neji, but I must subdue you before you can subdue me." With that, the boy unleashed the first gate, descending on the boy in the blink of an eye. Neji Hyuuga had no chance as Lee pounded his face into a broken mess. The match ended when Neji fell unconscious at Lee's feet. "Good match Neji-Kun! But I have shown that Geniuses of Hard work are much stronger than just a genius!"

There was no fight after that as Kankuro forfeited when the names were called. So Naruto stepped up to the plate, assessing his enemy as he made his way down to the floor. The other guy was pretty big. About 5'8 with black hair. There was no defining feature to really hold onto. The guy looked pretty normal to him. Hayate began the match, and Naruto executed his favorite technique. Pulling out a seal from his ninja pouch, he placed it on a kunai and threw it at the genin. The boy moved out of the way when he saw the projectile coming at him.

"Really? A kunai?" The boy's eyes drooped slowly after that, slowly closing all the way, "What the hell? I can't see! I'M BLIND! AGHHH!" Naruto walked up to the genin and struck him in the solar plexus. He fell quickly, going limp.

That particular seal held a gas composed of several plants found in Ame that basically caused irritation to the eyes and caused an uncontrolled muscle motion that forced the eyes closed. So disappointing.

"Winner: Uzumaki Naruto." There simply was no response. No one knew what the hell happened.

Naruto walked off the arena floor and back into the crowd. The next fight began five minutes later, and Naruto was actually very interested. Aburame Shino against Uchiha Sasuke. He wasn't disappointed when the two began an all out war. Shino sent out a massive wave of bugs at the Uchiha, who tried valiantly to send a fireball at the stationary bug user, but the bugs got there far quicker than he expected. Nothing was lost to the Sharingan though, no bugs breached the Uchiha's guard. Sasuke attemped several times to land hits on the bug user, but Shino kept on substituting himself with his bugs.

Sasuke was slowly gaining the upper hand though, valiantly attempting to slaughter the bug user's arsenal with bombs and fire jutsu. Thirty minutes later and the Aburame forfeited the match, "I have lost too many of my allies in the battle, I must forfeit the match." All in all, the battle was good.

Not much could be said for the next round. Lee was obviously going to lose. The red head he was fighting had a very impressive defense system. Eventually Lee released several gates, landing a few blows on Gaara, but it proved useless when Gaara caught him with his sand. Gaara, in a fit of rage had nearly killed the other boy, but Hayate intervened before he could crush the spandex wearing ball of joy.

Naruto stood up after the fight was over. Hearing his name being called out by his sensei, he made his way down to the arena floor. He watched Sasuke glare at him descending form. Did this kid have something against him?

"What the fuck are you looking at?" Naruto walked up the heir, "If you have nothing nice to say, then you better say it before I kick your ass!"

"Lose to you? Your nothing." Sasuke gave him the 'I am superior to though' look.

"Whatever."

"Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, are you two ready to begin?" With silent nods they signaled for their start, "HAJIME!"

One second Naruto was across the arena from him, and the next second his fist was planted in his gut. Sasuke stared in confusion as Naruto lay another fist into his face, then his chest, and in a series of combinations, the Uchiha ended up on the floor. "Wh- what the hell." Blood dripped off his lip onto the dirt floor. Sasuke activated his Sharingan, the three tomoes spinning as he glared at the blond. The two began a series of handseals, both ending at the same instant, and the arena was engulfed in searing heat as two fireballs collided. 'He knows fire techniques?' Sasuke continued into another set of seals, releasing a set of fireballs at a retreating Naruto.

Sasuke found himself fleeing his own fireballs as a great gale swept his technique back towards him. He didn't even see the blonde do any handseals! Then Naruto was confronting him, using a quick shunshin to reach the black haired Uchiha, he planted a leg on the ground and sent out a kick to the other boys solar plexus. He expected the dodge, and had already planned accordingly.

The Uchiha heir felt a blow connect to his back as another Naruto appeared behind him, 'A clone?' He blocked the next hit, but missed another clones kick to his shin. There were now three Naruto's. Thinking fast, Sasuke pulled out a kunai and hit a clone in the leg, he disappeared in a plume of smoke. Retreating from the other two, Sasuke pulled out some ninja wire, wrapping it around his hand as he gained more and more line. He felt a small pinch his leg but ignored it as he tied the wire to a kunai. He launched it at the mobile Naruto. He felt another poke on his leg, but ignored it as the blondes dodged the wire.

He smirked as he yanked the line, entrapping the clones with the ninja wire. He didn't expect both Naruto's to disappear and was surprised when he heard a kunai whiz by his head. He saw another heading towards his chest. He dodged to the left. Or attempted, his left leg wouldn't move. He saw two very thin needles sticking out of his thighs. Senbon…

He had lost all control of his leg. "I wouldn't pull it out if I were you…" Naruto walked up to the grounded Uchiha, "It would do nothing but cause pain."

"You son of a bitch!" The Uchiha stood up as Naruto got closer, "FIRST GATE! RELEASE!"

Naruto didn't expect that. 'So he copied Lee's release huh?' Naruto heard him release the second gate, "Gotta stop this before he releases more." Naruto sped towards the powered up Uchiha, planting a firm punch In his chest, he expected the punch he threw, and blocked it. The power behind the blow caused him to slide back a few feet. He was confused when he saw the Uchiha retreat up the stadium wall.

Then he saw a Raiton jutsu form in his hand. He watched the Uchiha rush him, deciding that he didn't want to be hit by that, Naruto fazed out of the Uchiha's line of sight. A quick self summoning heal had saved his life as he saw the Uchiha stab at his former position. A clean cut… Devastating. He liked it.

Sasuke turned to the blonde, the hate clearly seen in his eyes. Then all went black for the Uchiha. Naruto shook his hand, "You have a hard fucking head." A quick reversal summoning had put him behind the Uchiha, that was always the neat thing about summoning, you could reverse the bitch.

The crowd went wild as the Uchiha fell. He could sense the blood lust in the air. These people truly were animals, all they wanted was death and violence. "Winner! UZUMAKI NARUTO!"

"Do you need a break before the next match?" Hayate looked at his student expectantly.

"Really?" Naruto kicked the down Uchiha, "Take this trash off the arena! I'M FUCKING READY!"

Hayate signaled for the medics to take Sasuke off the field, watching as they brought a stretcher out. "I just knocked him out… He doesn't need a god damn army of healers!" In a ridiculously complex formation, the meds took hold of the Uchiha, and DISSAFUCKINGPEARD!

"Alright then… Will Sabaku Gaara make his way down to the aren-" In a swirl of sand, Gaara was in the arena.

"Today Uzumaki Naruto, you shall die."

"Whoa there sunshine, I don't think that was appropriate!"

"Appropriate? Mother wants your blood you whelp!"

"Well tell your mother that she's going to have to suck it out of my big oh-"

Somewhere in the stands a man stood in the middle of the stairway, "HOTDOG! GET YOUR HOTDOG!"

"PREPARE TO BE MURDERED!"

Naruto evaded the sand spike that came from the ground, and the next one, and the next one, and the next one. "This is getting repetitive." Channeling chakra to his foot, he watched a spike form beneath the red head, sending him into the air. "So It doesn't get under you does it?" He lost that advantage as Gaara's sand created a platform beneath him.

Gaara pursued the grounded Naruto, releasing a volley of sand shurikens. Naruto deflected them with a wave of his hand, sending out a wind blade at the sand platform. It made a small gouge beneath the red haired Jinchuuriki, Naruto continued the onslaught, releasing wave after wave of wind blades. Soon Gaara's sand was falling to the attack.

Gaara pointed his arm at Naruto, watching as the very ground itself turned to sand, preparing to devour the blonde. Naruto watched as the ground began to turn into sand, becoming smaller and smaller bits until eventually it was all sand. Faster than he thought possible, the sand form a wave big enough to crush the entire stadium. Channeling chakra to his hands, Naruto slammed his hands into the dirt beneath his feet, watching as the sand turned to dirt once again.

Forming hand seals, Naruto sent a fireball at the aerial Gaara, watching as the platform turned to glass. No longer able to stay in the air, Gaara began to descend, his eyes opening wide in fear. He raised his arms, pulling sand from his gourd to reform his ultimate defense. Naruto watched as Gaara was surrounded by sand. "Really kid? You're going to do that?"

Taking a deep breath, Naruto released a stream of fire at the grounded Gaara, reinforcing his fire with his wind, he nearly giggled as the stream quadrupled in size. Soon Gaara's entire defence was turned to glass and his form was visible in the center of the ball, seemingly still. Then the ground shook as a scream was heard coming from the red head. In a weird display of sheer oddness, Gaara's body began to morph, slowly gaining more and more sand, increasing in size.

"Uh fuck that." Naruto pulled out his katana, watching as Gaara exceeded fifteen feet, gaining size fast. Naruto focused his chakra into his blade, swinging at the monsters legs, smiling when he saw a leg become unstable and fall to the ground. The beast screamed at Naruto, sending a ball of condensed wind chakra at the blonde, but he ignored it and sent another wind enhanced blade at the thing!

The one tailed demon stared in horror as his ball was seemingly cut through. Attempting to form his leg again, keeping his eye on the incoming blonde, he screamed in joy as his leg was attached once again. He send a wave of sand at the blonde, smirking in satisfaction when a sand shuriken cut the blondes cheek, another imbedding itself into his arm.

"Shit he hid that in the wave… Tricky bastard." The beast was now at thirty, thirty five, thirty seven, god he was growing fast. Focusing on his katana, he built up his flame element around his sword, feeling the tell tell signs of the searing heat reverberating off his blade, he released a blade of condensed fire.

The tanuki did not laugh when it struck him in the chest and spread. He watched as his body turned to glass, slowly becoming unstable as his head was encased in the flames. Naruto stared in interest as the beast began to crack. He saw the sand below the beast attempting to reform the breaking creature, "GOD DAMMIT!" He swung his katana and watched in joy as the beast broke. Gaara fell from the sky… And hit the ground really hard.

The fearful crowd stared in horror. They had just witnessed a monster being created, and then it was just destroyed, "FUCK YEAHHHHHHH!" The sound was music to Naruto's ears.

"WINNER! UZUMAKI NARUTO!"

Hokage's Office

"Uzumaki Naruto, I'm proud to present you with this Chuunin vest, you are one of the three who was promoted during the exams, good job." The hokage turned to Uchiha Sasuke and Sabaku Gaara, "You two were also chosen, due to the extent of your powers, it would be pointless to hold you back… Congratulations to you two."

A/N: And this is where I end the chapter! Yup the ending was just to give some closure to the chapter. All these beginning chapters are extremely pointless, but wait until you see what I have in store for you :D Future chapters will up the ante!
