In Konoha Monday morning
Tenten, Shikamaru, Rock Lee and Shino Aburame stood at attention in front of the Hokage's desk awaiting their orders.
"Alright, you guys have your Mission I want you four to head out to Kumo and meet up with Naruto and his gang." "I will also be giving you a scroll to give the Raikage, it is simply a scroll informing him of your presence in his village saying that you guys are my advance guard and will be here to watch the finals with me, I am classifying this Mission as a B rank mission, the leader for this mission will be Shino that is all, any questions?" "No?" "Good then head out."
2 days later in Kumo
the Genin teams and their sensei had just finished their training session for the morning and were freshening up in their hotel room when a black beetle landed on Hirako's outstretched finger, after having a quick conversation with it, he went over to Chouji and said " excuse me sensei but, I just received word from Shino that he and 3 other leaf shinobi have entered the village and are waiting for us at the restaurant down the block" "Well then please send him a message saying we shall be arriving in 15 minutes and not to start without us"
15 minutes later
The three genin teams along with their sensei arrived at the restaurant where Shino and his friends were sitting "Yo sup folks" said Kiba coming to sit down next to his long time teammate. "Hi guys how are you" greeted Tenten warmly. Akamaru went over to sniff his newly arrived friends and got a pat on the head from each of them, before setting himself down by Tenten's feet who was sitting next to Kiba. "So when are the others coming" said Naruto sitting down next to Lee and throwing his arm around him. "The others aren't coming" said Shikamaru with a bored expression "everyone else was busy" Shikamaru said after explaining about the War council that took place
"Oh ok so when are the old hag and Hinata-Chan getting here." Naruto asked unconcerned because he had faith in his comrades. Most of the Genin looked dumbstruck except for Kenpachi and Konohamaru. Who found all this extremely funny as to how Naruto could call the Hokage an old hag
"Naruto my friend one must not say such things for the leader of our village" said Lee in a semi loud voice "Yea, come on Naruto have some respect she is one of the sannin" after all said Tenten indignantly. "Doesn't matter she is still an old hag" said Naruto in a bored voice.
"So when are they coming"?" Repeated Naruto *sigh* "what a drag the Hokage and Hinata will be coming next week, to say two weeks before the finals" said the Nara "Oh come on Shikamaru how can you be so lazy, you're married now you should be less lazy now."
"Wait this lazy ass guy got married?" Said Naruto surprised "Yes, he did get married and it was last week" said Shino as he told the story of how Shikamaru got married "Yeah well although I am married Temari and I won't be formally married in front of everyone until after the exams, so she is still in Suna " said Shikamaru in his forever bored voice. "Damn, no wonder he is tired, give him a break Ten-ten" he just got married he must be suffering from sexual fatigue no doubt" he said with a naughty grin, and almost got hit from a kunai for his troubles. The ninja ordered their lunch and updated each other on what was happening in Kumo and Konoha, after eating lunch they went to the hospital to visit Chiruku who was sitting in bed and reading a ninja scroll, when everyone came in he greeted everyone warmly.
"So how you feeling Champ" asked Naruto "I am a bit sore for the most part, the doctors say I am healing slowly but nicely, they said that because of my metabolism and stuff they are taking it slowly." "But why do you still look so pale?" Tenten asked in a concerned voice. "The docs say I lost a lot of blood and it's been slow going for my blood to get back to its former levels, they say I need to rest completely"
"So, you can't even move about" said Lee "no, I am afraid I can't, my legs are a bit weak and if I move around too much I start to feel dizzy, of course maybe that's just because of the hospital food" he said with a kind smile "Hahaha spoken like a true Akimichi" said Kiba They sat with Chiruku a while longer until visiting hours were over and a nurse came to escort them out of the hospital, and since it was almost night time everyone headed to the hotel to get some rest.
1 week later
Tsunade and Hinata had just arrived in Kumo along with their Anbu escort, after getting settling in she sent one of the Anbu code-named Raven to call Naruto and his fellow Jonin to her mansion that was afforded to her by the Raikage. When the Jonin entered they all greeted the Hokage respectably by either kneeling or bowing except for Naruto who decided to do the opposite and first give his girlfriend a welcome hug and kiss, which although had Hinata blushing like crazy also had her moaning in pleasure.
Although this generated shock from the Anbu it generated laughs from the other Jonin especially Shikamaru and Kiba who were grinning widely and collecting 20 ryou notes from their other Jonin comrades because they had won the bet on who Naruto would greet first Hinata or Tsunade. After finally having had enough Tsunade cleared her throat and said "Uzumaki Naruto!" Naruto Immediately stopped kissing Hinata and looked toward Tsunade and said "Oh hey Tsunade baa-chan what's up I didn't see you there, when did you get here, how you doing?"
this statement had all the Jonin rolling on the ground laughing, and the Anbu were all releasing a very high killing intent, all of which escaped Naruto's notice who quickly came over and give her a hug and said " I missed you baa-Chan, I am glad you finally got here." Smiling to herself she hugged him back then lifted his chin with her finger and... Punched him into the wall, creating a large crack in it.
Naruto got up immediately looking relatively unhurt except for the fact that his head had a large bruise on his head and said "what was that for Baa-Chan," "I hit you because you made me lose my bet, I also hit you because you thought it better to grope your girlfriend instead of greeting me this shows bad manners on your part and because you were annoying me."
"Oh ok, alright I am sorry for not greeting you first but not for kissing Hinata-Chan," this comment earned him a deep blush from Hinata and a sigh of exasperation from Tsunade. "Ok, enough fun, let's get serious bring me up to speed on what has happened so far" After they did so Shikamaru asked "So how we going to play the field Milady"
"The best thing to do is act normal but be vigilant," she then pointed to Naruto and his fellow Jonin and said "look guys remember this is not our village and the rules are a bit different, but if a situation arises you should be ready and that means no holding back, fight to the best of your abilities but be careful and don't take any unnecessary risks, and that goes for the genin as well when they participate in the finals."
"Wait a minute, are you suggesting that the genin will also take part in battle, are you sure that is wise Hokage Sama" said one of the Anbu agents "I don't think it wise either Milady from a soldier's point of view they are only Genin after all they have hardly mastered the basic skills let alone to face battle."
"Hey are you underestimating our genin or our skills as sensei" said Naruto hotly, "your an Anbu agent you out of all people should know That age and rank has no bearing on skill and talent, in fact if I remember correctly wasn't my old sensei an Anbu Jonin captain at the age of 14 and that was even before he had the Sharingan, wasn't Itachi made an Anbu captain at the age of 13, hell, Chouji here at the age of 13 killed one of Orochimaru's elite guards who was listed as an A-rank criminal according to the Bingo Book.
Naruto was getting angry at the fact that these Anbu agents had the nerve to say his genin had only basic skills, so angry infact that he was giving off a killer intent so high it was making some of the Anbu flinch in fear. Hinata quickly tried to quell her beloved's temper by saying "shh, Naruto-kun calm down they are not insulting you or your students, they are speaking as experienced ninjas, and they are simply saying that it is dangerous to have Genin out on the battle field due to their lack of experience and skill."
"Let us give you a bit of an overview of our students" said Kiba who was also getting a bit miffed at someone underestimating his Genin, to be underestimated by the enemy was fine that was their misfortune but to be underestimated by the Anbu really got him mad.
one of my genin Kenpachi Zaraki is only a genin but is already a 3rd level 8th Dan blade master and was able to defeat a Jonin Mist ninja in a sword fight on a mission," "then we have Konohamaru Sarutobi a genin on my team he mastered the Rasengan an A rank jutsu at the age of 12, at the age of 14 Tatsuki Arigawa can create a poison so complex it would tax even the abilities of the Anbu to figure out all the ingredients" said Naruto."
Shikamaru was getting tired of all this and finally lost his temper and said "enough everyone stop this pissing competition, shut up and calm down"
Naruto, Kiba the Anbu are right it is unwise to send inexperienced soldiers into battle, they are thinking as Anbu are supposed to; how to create maximum damage with minimal casualties and both of you know that Konohamaru and Kenpachi don't know when to stop sometimes when in battle" he said looking at his friends, "however that being said, you Anbu agents should also know never to judge a book by its cover or a ninja by his rank as the case may be, I understand your reservations so how about this. I have an idea, if I may Milady?"
"Go ahead Shikamaru I am also curious to know how you plan to solve our little problem because the Anbu also bring up some good points." Said the sannin
"look guys" he said to the Anbu "all the genin have been one of our students at one time or another so we know how good their skills are, but in order to make you understand I propose this; how about you Anbu guys come along with the Hokage and check out their training and skills and after that the Hokage can make an informed decision, and remember guys we are not sure anything will even happen this is just a precaution."
"I agree with Shikamaru's suggestion this will help me with my decision."
Two weeks later
The finals for the chunin exams had finally arrived. The stands were filled with ninja and civilians alike; everyone was excited to get the fun underway. "Damn man this is so exciting," said Konohamaru he had forgone his typical outfit and had instead opted for a brown Gi (karate uniform) with a brown belt and black pants and black undershirt with his ninja sandals, "hey you think you have what it takes to win Pachi?" he asked his best friend. you know it K-man I will see you in the final round," he said laughing and then came up to shake hands with his friends he then turned to Hirako and Kenshin, "hey guys tell me something is it just me or are you getting a strange vibe off of that Iwa nin." "I know what u mean Z-man that guy reminds of the boss man when he is in a bad mood."
"I too have felt a disturbance with his chakra it seems very malicious and not entirely human, even my insects are reluctant to go near him," said Hirako.
"Hey, Konohamaru Ibiki ni san taught me how to learn what people are thinking from the way they look, stand and fight, and let me just say this my friend if you face him, in the finals end it quickly, and don't joke around, I have a bad feeling about this guy, i will say this much this guy has a lot of hate and is unfamiliar with the term mercy."
After the opening speeches and announcements the finals were ready to begin, "alright now ladies and gentlemen without further delay we now present to you the first match of the finals for the chunin exams, will everyone but the two contestants please leave the arena. Presenting Kenpachi Zaraki of the hidden leaf village vs. Inuyasha Yajirobe of the Hidden Sand village."
Kenpachi walked out towards the centre of the field he stood at "6ft 5" tall and looked very Physically fit he had a scar across one of his cheeks, and a dirty and scraggly looking beard with a mullet style haircut he was dressed in a black muscle t-shirt and black pants, with a green jacket and wrist warmers and ninja sandals with sword strapped to his back when he walked out into the middle of the stadium he looked up and winked at Tatsuki making her look at him with an expression of annoyance, but she had a light blush on her cheeks.
Inuyasha on the other hand had on a sort of beige and brown colour Gi with a red undershirt with white hair in a stiff but short ponytail, he also was a tall guy he was 5ft 10 inches and had his sword tied at the waist.
The two competitors met in the middle and after bows and handshakes were exchanged the proctor explained the rules:
"Alright listen up you little punks my name is killer bee and I am the referee for this match this is a tournament style match there are no rules, first one to give up, be defeated or die, loses its simple as that, but if I think you have lost I will call the match, is that clear?" Both ninja nodded ok good now "LET THE BATTLE BEGIN"
both ninja jumped apart and drew their katana, each sizing the other up and then almost in a flash both ninja ran towards each other with their swords drawn kicking up a cloud of dust both ninja met in the middle with a loud clang of metal against metal, eliciting a loud gasp from the audience.
A/N well it seems the finals have finally begun and the first match is already under way who will win Kenpachi or Inuyasha, both are skilled swordsman and fighters but who has the sharper blade and who has the superior skill find out next time on By Executive Orders.
