Chapter 5: A Year To Remember And The Start Of The Exam
Naruto woke up to find himself in a white room that flooded his vision. His whole body felt so weak like he had no energy left. "So your awake you had your me and your whole team worried" A feminine voice said to his right. Naruto opened his eyes again and his blurry vision cleared to see… "Maki-hime what are you doing here, where is here by the way" Naruto asked in a confused voice while looking at Maki. Maki started laughing at Naruto's confused sentence. Maki went on to explain that they were in konoha hospital and that he had been out for a week due to chakra exhaustion. When Naruto asked why she was still here, she said she was now a citizen of konoha. Naruto noticed that Maki still had her necklace and asked. "Hey Maki-hime why do you still have your necklace did you not exchange it" Naruto asked with genuine curiosity. He noticed that Maki's smile grew even bigger. "Well because it is my precious family heirloom I was allowed to keep it but I have to repay konoha for the A-Rank mission I requested. So I am going to open up a restaurant I can sell some of my precious jewellery to start up" Naruto had big smile on his face when he heard Maki say those words. He found out that Maki never left his side and was worried that he might not make it. Naruto looked to his left to see that they're many cards and flowers from his friends. He smiled to him self-knowing that there people out there that cared for him.
It had been a week since Naruto was let out of the hospital. He was now training as much as he could. Genma had them started of chakra control exercise namely the tree climbing exercise. Naruto whose chakra control was rubbish felt a huge difference when trying Jutsu. Apparently when he was developing Jutsu's he found out that they were very difficult to use. Now when he did them they were so easy to perform because he was pouring the right amount of chakra. But he still had difficulty doing some Jutsu's, which meant that he still needed to do more chakra control exercises.

Currently he was training with his team and by himself, his teamwork had improved greatly, as his teammates knew exactly what his styles were and vice versa. Naruto's Chakra weight capacity seemed to shoot up from low percentage to 15 his young body was now starting to grow as well meaning he could take the weight. Even though he was nowhere as built as Raiden he was very muscular for an 11 year old.

The date was now 10th of October and Naruto currently forgot how important today was but it would soon be a date he would look forward too for years too come. Our hero of the story was currently training deep in the forest trying to perfect his newest technique. Genma who was currently watching Naruto saw him disappear, he looked around but he didn't see him but at the last second he seemed to come landing from the sky with blinding light forming in his hand. When he landed onto the ground it seemed to create a huge crater.

"Damn Naruto are you sure you have enough Jutsu I mean how many do you have now" Genma shouted out to a Naruto who was at the epicentre of the crater.

"Yo Genma sensei what brings you here, you told us that we had no team training or missions today". Naruto asked with a confused face.

"Hey can't a sensei just see if his student is okay?" Genma told Naruto with a small smile. To that he received a trademark Uzumaki grin.

"So sensei what did you want to talk about" Naruto questioned his sensei.

"Well I wanted to see if you were okay, I been meaning to tell you that well I am proud of you Naruto" Genma said in a calm tone while looking towards the sky.

"Sensei…" Naruto was happy that his sensei thought so highly of him.

"You see naruto your lot like me in a sense, I was an orphan as well and I never knew who my family were. Not just that but I had to become stronger on my own so naruto I admire you for that". Naruto was shocked at his sensei's words but was not able to answer back.

"It took me a long time to realise I had to be strong on my own and that I needed to prove I was worthy. You see when the genin teams were being decided I begged Sandaime to be your sensei. I really want to see you grow and become a great shinobi. I also don't want you to be like me, I want to help you grow into a strong person" Genma finished and looked towards Naruto who was just smiling.

Naruto felt elated at his sensei's words, everything was going right his dream was becoming a reality slowly and then people will know the name Uzumaki Naruto.

"Come on Naruto we are going to have lunch at Raiden's place he told me that we should all have lunch there" Genma said in his usual cool tone.

"Ok sensei is Mai there as well" Naruto asked his sensei. He got a nod from his sensei.

"You think that there's something going on between those two they seem awfully close lately" Naruto asked his sensei while walking towards Raiden's house.

"Who knows those two they are weird in that sense?" Genma said in his bored tone.

"Oh what about you and Maki-hime I see that you're at her restaurant a lot lately what's that about" Naruto asked his sensei trying to make him blush.

"Yeah well I am trying to have sex with her you know she is really hot" Genma replied back in a voice with no emotion what's so ever. Naruto who was an "innocent" boy looked weirdly at sensei's blatant answer

"Damn it sensei why do you have to give weird answer's" Naruto asked in an annoyed tone. Naruto just received a typical Genma look that just screamed, "You wanted to know".

As they reached the house Genma opened the door with a key. Raiden gave had given a key so they wouldn't have to knock and wait. Naruto walked ahead to find a dark room, which was really weird…

"SURPRISE!"

Naruto jumped in 'surprise' with a kunai out to look at all his friends in party hats and sporting big grins. Naruto who quickly put his kunai away looked around the room in surprise. He was wondering what the occasion was asked everyone what the party was for.

"It's for your birthday dolt" Ino said while looking at him as if he were the stupidest person on earth. Naruto took a deep breath, they did this all for him, and he was actually having a birthday party.

"I really want to see you grow and become a great shinobi. I also don't want you to be like me, I want to help you grow into a strong person"

Naruto remembered his sensei's words just a moment ago; he looked at Genma who had a lazy grin. 'So that's what he meant he didn't want me to grow up without feeling like a kid, sensei you're the greatest'. He looked at his sensei who seemed to have got the message.

"But how did you guys know" Naruto asked the whole group.

"Well I think me and Genma-san can fill that in Naruto" Iruka stepped out of the crowd with a big smile and a party hat. He told Naruto that his team wanted to know is birthday and willingly gave it to them. With that Ten-Ten stepped out from the crowd and put on a party hat on his head while giving him a kiss on the cheek. Naruto blushed at the weapon mistress kiss. He gave her look over to see she looked beautiful as ever.

"Can an old man join the party as well" Everyone turned to the door to see Sandiame hokage standing there with a wrapped package.

"Hokage-Sama" everyone shouted out, the old hokage seemed to just smile at the sound of his title. Naruto couldn't be more happy all of his friends were gathered to celebrate hi birthday. Usually he spent birthday's just training or having an extra bowl of ramen. The party was in full swing as everyone exchanged stories and had food, which was made by Raiden's mum and Maki. Naruto could not have been happier. However when he sat down on the table Ten-Ten also sat down but on his right. He knew that she would start feeling him up and of course he was not disappointed. She would do the simplest of things that would just make him blush. In his head he knew he liked Ten-Ten a lot but would he ever pursue a romantic relationship with her. Not at the moment he was either too young or he was focusing on training more.

The next event was Naruto's Favourite which was the opening the present time. He seemed to have got lots of presents from everyone even if they were cheap or expensive Naruto would cherish them for life. However there was one present from Genma that Naruto secretly liked the best. It was a group photo of team 6 with all of them smiling. Naruto who looked at all his friends smiling and having a good time just felt at ease knowing that he was truly wanted by people and that he was not alone.

A year and a half had passed and Naruto was a lot stronger than before he could have easily taken the chuunin exams but his Sensei said that there were no rushes because next exam konoha would be hosting. So what they did was a lot of exercise and teamwork training. Team 6 was starting to get noticed by konoha a lot, it was said that their teamwork was so great that people started saying they were going to become the best team this village ever saw. Naruto just thought that was a long shot thought they were still genin but his sensei said they were all chuunin level for sure. They had also done a couple of more C-Rank, which were not that noticeable but were fun none the less.

Naruto was currently training with Raiden who seemed to improve a lot lately with his Jutsu's when Mai came running towards them waving.

"Hey guys did you hear Genma sensei told me that they are going to be rookies coming to the chuunin exams" Mai said excitedly, Genma had nominated them this year for the exams.

"I bet its just some jounins playing bets or something," Naruto said while sitting down and taking a breather.

"Hey Naruto weren't you in the same class with those guys a couple of years back and I think Ino-chan and Sakura-san will be there" Raiden said while getting a blush on his cheeks from saying Ino's name. When they were at the party Ino wouldn't stop flirting with Raiden. When Mai heard her name she scoffed it was obvious to Genma and Naruto that Mai and Raiden really liked each other.

"Well either way they don't stand a chance against us" Naruto said with a huge smirk, Mai and Raiden had a bigger smile knowing that they were really strong.

The next day team 6 were walking to the academy to take their test also getting a good luck from Genma who also said that they didn't need it. All three genins were psyched about this exam; they entered a building to find two groups starting at each other they seemed to be in the middle of stairs.

"Hey what's your name?" A Hyuuga Said to a raven-haired shinobi.

"Aren't you suppose to give your name before asking" The raven haired boy replied

Naruto not letting these two stuck up idiots stroke their ego pushed pass them to go to the stairs not even to say hi to Ten-Ten.

"Oi watch were your going Uzumaki" Neji said with venom dripping his voice

"Is that a threat Hyuuga because if it is you should watch your back in the exam" Naruto said in a menacing voice.

"Ok you two cut it out, lets go guys good luck Naru-kun" Ten-Ten said while hauling Neji off in the other direction. Naruto did not even spare a glance towards Team 7 he just kept walking towards the room with his team.

"Yo Naruto you okay bro I mean you seemed a little pissed with your encounter with his holy arrogance" Raiden started writing down his comical sentence after he asked Naruto in a concerned voice.

"Naruto really are you ok," Mai asked in a really concerned voice. Naruto just smiled at his friends concern for him and just nodded.

"I am ok guys its just that guy really pisses me off you know, he walks around preaching about destiny and crap" Naruto replied back in pissed of tone. As naruto was walking towards room 301 he saw a man standing there with a facemask and spiky white hair. They walked past him to look at him a bit oddly, Naruto wonder why a jounin shinobi would be standing there.

"Team 6" The white haired man called back. The three genin stopped and looked at the weird jounin.

"I have heard great things about you, but I wonder who is stronger my team or you guys," Kakashi said in a bored tone.

"Well you will just have to wait and see" Naruto said while the three genins walked into the room full of genins and to try and find a seat. All three genins sat down and started talking amongst themselves about the exam and that weird jounin. While they were talking Team 7 walked in which consisted of Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura and Hyuuga Hanabi (I know its tradition for the rookie of the year to be with the dead last but I couldn't be another into making another OC).

Then the whole of the rookie 9 came into the room and started to make a huge fuss, which seemed to catch the attention of the whole room. However Naruto was not looking at them, right now he was staring at the weapon mistress Ten-Ten. Ten-Ten who felt like someone was watching her turned to see her Naru-kun staring at her. Of course Ten-Ten was never one to pass up a chance to tease Naruto so she just licked her lips and winked at him. Yet again Naruto's shy nature kicked in and he started to blush furiously all over his body. Luckily he was saved as his best friend elbowed him to point at the rookie 9.

Apparently some white haired boy with glasses started talking to them. Raiden filled him in that this boy had ninja info cards, he seemed to posses the knowledge or info on every genin that was taking the exam. It was then Uchiha Sasuke asked information on three genin. Rock Lee, Gaara of the sand and Uzumaki Naruto. Naruto's eyes widened 'why the hell did he want to know about him' Naruto thought.

"…And finally Uzumaki Naruto, lets see he has done 30 D-Rank missions 10 C-Rank missions and one A-Rank mission, He seems to have a vast array of knowledge on Jutsu's and he has a nickname. He is known as 'Konoha's Raging Storm' that's all the info I have on him" Kabuto said while pushing up is glasses.

Everyone heard him say that konoha's raging storm was taking part and started to whisper the name the infamous genin. Naruto started to grit his teeth he did not like that guy with glasses and he seemed to have information on him as well. However the man with the glasses got his comeuppance when he insulted the village of sound.

"Wow talk about stupidity I mean they just openly attacked that guy showing off there ability so openly" Mai said with indifference. Then after the ruckus settled the first examiner appeared and told them it would be a written test. At this Naruto started shitting his pants, he didn't know there was going to be a written part, he could have revised or prepared. As all the genin prepared to do the test Naruto looked at the paper to see that the question were way to hard and there was no way he could do this. He could see only 3 questions he could probably do. When the test started he could hear a lot of tapping and scratching. Naruto the put his head band over his eyes and pushed chakra into his ears. He could both hear Mai and Raiden doing Morse code. As he got the message it started to make sense this exam was a test of information gathering ability's.

Ever since they had become genins, all three of them started to train with blind floods so they could hear more clearly. Naruto filled in the answers that were coming to him apparently Mai was using some sort of Genjutsu to get the answer. So him and Raiden copied the answers from the Morse code.

"Row 5 Chair 11 you fail and so to do your team mates get out" Naruto looked up see a trio of genin leave dejectedly. Now all Naruto had to was wait for the 10th question.

When it came apparently it was a choice of whether or not to take it, if they took it and failed the question they would never be allowed to become more than genin. Naruto just stood his ground and would never back down just like his friends.

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief while he was walking to the forest of death. That tenth question had him quite nervous but thankfully he was brave enough to get through that damn bastards psychological question.

"Hey Naruto you up for this survival part I mean we can take any of these teams I think" Raiden said with a cocky smirk.

"Hey Raiden don't get overconfident we don't know how powerful some of these teams are so we got to be careful" Mai said to the both of them in a clam tone.

As they received there scroll and gate number they got ready to jump into the forest for 5 days. As the examiner said that they were ready and the gates opened they set off into the forest in a blur going very fast so they could cover as much ground as possible until they got necessary scroll. They needed a heaven scroll so they hoped they would be in luck.

"So how do you guys want to proceed with this just fight any random…" Raiden was cut off when a torrent of Shuriken came towards them at a freighting pace naruto reacted on instinct and shielded his friends from the attack with his own attack.

Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique)

Naruto's Shuriken hit everyone of the shuriken thrown towards them. The three genin dropped to the ground to find three-cloud shinobi waiting for them.

"You should just gives us your scroll because it's pointless fighting us we are more clearly superior to you" As the cloud genin was in the middle of the speech Mai did a number of seals to use one of her favourite techniques.

Magen: Narakumi no Jutsu (Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique)

The cloud-nins did not have a chance as they saw their worst nightmare come true. All could be heard was the three-cloud shinobi screaming in agony. Mai was so delighted that she mentally destroyed the shinobi that she ran to retrieve the scroll, which was a heaven scroll.

"Wow we are in luck a heaven scroll, hey what's wrong with you two" Mai asked her two team mates, who looked kind of peeved off.

"It just that was so anti-climatic" Raiden said in a disappointed tone.

"You always say that Raiden" Mai retorted back

"Well lets just go to the tower we could run in too some trouble so the quicker we get there the better it is for us" Naruto told his friends. As they were running towards the tower they heard a huge shriek come from the forest, it was more like a women's scream.

"Hey Naruto, Mai do you think we should check it out, it could be a konoha shinobi" Raiden asked with genuine curiosity. With those words they sped off in the direction of the scream. As they were running they saw the sound ninjas beating up a defenceless Sakura.

"Where do these konoha bugs keep coming out from," The mummy looking sound ninja said. It was then team 6-noticed Hyuuga Neji also perched on a branch. However Neji said he didn't need to help when he saw an awakened Sasuke get up and start to release purple chakra. Naruto watched in awe how Sasuke demolished the sound shinobi with holes in his arms. Naruto looked towards Neji to see he was looking at him as well they both knew what each other was thinking and that Uchiha Sasuke would be a worthy opponent.

Naruto jumped down from the branch to go towards Sakura and Ino. It looked like Ino was cutting Sakura's hair to look more presentable.

"Hey you two ok you look like you have been in this forest for like 10 days," Naruto said with a grin. Sakura said she was fine and so did Ino, Naruto looked towards where Hanabi was lying she seemed to have been knocked out, but was now being awoken by both Shikamaru and Chougi. His teammates wanted to get out of here as soon as possible so they could maybe relax at the tower. With that Naruto bided Ino and Sakura a farewell and went on ahead to the tower taking one more glance at Sasuke, Naruto ran to the tower.

When Naruto arrived there it seemed that the chuunin that came out of the scroll was Iruka, Naruto was thankful for the scarred chuunin to be there and talking to him. Team 6 were currently walking around the tower and they noticed that there was no one around at all.

"Hey do you think we are the first group here, because I don't see anyone?" Naruto asked while looking around.

"Well it took us at least a day to get here so I don't think we are the first…" Mai replied back while drifting off seeing three sand shinobi walking past them. Naruto noticed the short shinobi with the gourd seemed to be radiating killer intent towards them. Of course Naruto was not fazed in the least and just walked past him hoping not to agitate him at all. Mai who was not paying attention to the sand trio looked at her sister's genin team was there as well and started running towards them. Naruto and Raiden knew that Mai was on friendly terms with her sister's team. However Raiden did notice that Mai was awfully friendly with the "dog boy". Naruto however knew that Kiba liked Mai in a more than just a friend way.

"Hey you guys made it as well I am so glad, did you make it right now" Mai asked with her tilted to one side. To that they got a huge nod from Team 8, Naruto noticed Kiba's dog shaking and asked

"Hey Kiba is your friend ok he seems to be shaking a lot" Naruto commented while pointing towards, he found out that akamaru was shaking from the chakra of the sand ninja with the gourd. As Team 8 and 6 went in their separate ways to rest, Naruto cant help but think whom that Sand shinobi really is.

All the potential genins gathered in a room with a group of jounin and the hokage addressing them. Naruto who was scooping the arena found that were quite a number of groups there. The entire rookie nine were there and so were Neji's Team and the Sand trio, Naruto looked at two other groups too see that their were sound trio that got their asses handed to them by Sasuke and a Cloud-shinobi team. Naruto was surprised to not see the glasses guy. If he had so much info then he should have gotten the scrolls. It was then Naruto realised something was defiantly wrong in this exam and that something big was going down but he didn't know what.

As the hokage explained the meaning of the exam naruto noticed that Uchiha was grabbing his neck and was having a heated conversation with the Hyuuga on his team. It was then that the third examiner told the assembled genin about the preliminaries. Apparently there were too many genin to fight in the finals so they had to cut the numbers in half again. It was then that the first match was announced which would be Uchiha Sasuke Vs. Dosu Kinuta. Naruto looked at the Uchiha survivor and wondered how this match would proceed. All the genin and jounin senseis were now watching the match from the balconies. It seemed everyone wanted to watch this match a lot.

"Now Sasuke-san I will defeat you and take revenge for what you did to my comrade". Dosu said in a menacing voice. With that both of the genin started their fight. But everyone could tell that Sasuke was suffering from chakra depletion. It was also a fact the he couldn't use the Sharingan. Naruto deuced that the special eyes must use a lot of chakra. Naruto was looking at Dosu as he delivered some devastating blows and used his weird gauntlet to make Sasuke throw up and act all groggy. However Sasuke seemed to turn it around as he was looking at lee and did what looked like a kick to push the sound-nin up. He then began to use shadow dance and delivered a mighty number of combo's. The move he used was lion combo, which was a Jutsu he created in the heat of battle.

It seemed Dosu had no chance as he was completely destroyed by Sasuke's attack and was carried off in a stretcher.

"Winner Uchiha Sasuke" the coughing examiner said while Sasuke brought himself to the balconies to watch the next match.

"Hey Kakashi don't you think Sasuke needs to rest and get some attention" Genma asked Kakashi why he was letting him stay.

"Hmmmmmmm well I want him to look at the competition so he will be ready for the finals" Kakashi in is usual tone of laziness. Genma narrowed his eyes at the perverted jounin.

"Don't you mean to steal Jutsu's" Genma asked Kakashi in an angry tone

"Your words not mine" Kakashi said not looking away from his book. With that Genma went towards his three students telling not use any Jutsu, which could be copied unless they had to. Naruto who was taking in all this new information got angry and thought 'no way I am going to let some bastard steal techniques that took all my life to learn'.

"Don't worry sensei all my original Jutsu cannot be copied because they don't require hand seals so he cant copy them" Naruto replied back with confidence.

"Just be careful not all techniques without hand seals can be protected from the Sharingan" Genma told a confident naruto. Naruto now was thoroughly pissed off; he didn't want all his hard work to be copied so cheaply. However he had to turn his attention to the next match that was coming up.

Nara Shikamaru Vs. Kin Tsuchi

This match was fairly straight forward as the sound ninja was clearly in need of rethinking her strategy and her surroundings. All the matches were quite straight forward, as you knew who was going to win. Kankurō beat the cloud-nin Kyo who seemed to lack chakra to even fight Kankurō. Hanabi had won an easy victory of Choji as she placed few precise hits on Choji's large body coincidently knocking him out. Shino showed that bugs shouldn't be underestimated no matter how small and blew off his arms, which were plugged with bugs. Unfortunately after still cheering Sakura to win she lost terribly to a superior Temari who just blew an already beaten up Sakura with ease. The next match Naruto was glad that a konoha female ninja passed. It was his ever-teasing Ten-ten who showed her skill with weapons. However it was noted that she just passed by using her last and only big attack. If she wanted to win in the finals she would have to do some good hours of training. At this point Naruto was starting to get annoyed that his match up was taking so long. But the next match caught his interest as Raiden's match was next and he was facing Kiba. Just as Raiden was going down Naruto tugged his arms and whispered into his ear.

"Don't show your full strength"

All he got was Raiden's goofy grin as he walked to the centre. Naruto looked towards Mai as she currently near her sister. Naruto could tell Mai was worried and didn't know whom to cheer. Naruto was just worried that Raiden would do something stupid to get Mai's attention and in the processes making her angry with him.

"So do you think he will use his weapons or hand's" Genma asked towards his student. Naruto not really knowing gave an honest shrug as to say he really didn't know. However Naruto did notice Sasuke look at interest as his jounin sensei whispered into his ear. Naruto started to growl at the Uchiha's blatant attempt to use the Sharingan even though he was out of chakra, jus so he could learn a couple of Jutsu's.

However before the match even got started the spiky white haired shinobi kicked off in his usual fashion by telling a joke. He even requested the referee time to tell the joke, who was a little freaked out that a shinobi would say such a thing.

"Okay-okay here it goes" Raiden said with a schoolgirl giddiness

One day three guys were driving in the middle of nowhere when their car broke down.

They got out and looked around at their surroundings.

Finally, the first guy says, "I'm going to go look for some food."

The other two guys say, "Why?"

"So we can eat of course." says the first guy.

Once the first guy comes back the second guy says, "I'm going to go get some water".

"Why" asked the other two.

"So we can drink it if we get thirsty of course".

Once the second guy gets back the third guy goes and tears off the car door.

"What's that for?" asked the other two.

" In case we get hot we can roll down the window."

When Raiden finished he was rolling on the floor in hysterics. While the rest of the room just sweat dropped from the worst joke they had ever heard. Mai started to shout at Raiden for his really bad joke telling him to be serious for once. With that Raiden's match had started.

Raiden squared off against Kiba using only Taijutsu and not to use his Ninjutsu so it wouldn't be copied. Kiba tried with all his might to get him even with his dog's transformation but in the end Raiden beat him with an original technique one he called 'Fist of Raijin'. Where by Electrical energy covers his fist and he punches his opponent giving him an electrical shock as well as physically damaging him. Naruto could tell that Mai was torn between congratulating Raiden and rushing down to see if Kiba was all right. Mai chose the latter rushing down to see if Kiba was ok. But Mai did not catch the hurt look that crossed Raiden's face. Raiden not willing to see the display between both Mai and Kiba left the arena saying he needed some fresh air.

When Raiden left however it was a match that he would have wanted to watch as Ino and Mai fought it out. Ino showed some skill in being able dispel some of Mai's Genjutsu's however she was no match for Mai's ability with Kenjutsu so the match was easily decided as Ino forfeit not wanting to die by the blade.

The next two matches were ones to boil Naruto's blood as the Neji mercilessly put down and beat Hinata even though Naruto was cheering her on. Neji showed why he was last year's rookie of the year. Hinata was lucky however before Neji could kill her, the Jounin sensei's and the examiner stopped him from delivering the fatal blow. Naruto made a vow to defeat the arrogant Hyuuga in the finals. The next match was more infuriating as Lee tried his hardest to beat the powerful sand shinobi's defence. But to no avail he was quickly taken down even after trying to use both his special moves. The Sand-nin Gaara crushed Lee's left leg and arm making him unable to be able to live as a shinobi.

Naruto however didn't have time to dwindle; his match was coming up and left for the middle just in time for Raiden to come back from his "fresh air". Sasuke seemed to watch this match with vigour as Kakashi whispered into his ear. Naruto could tell he wanted to copy his moves. So he decided to not use any Ninjutsu at all unless he really needed to. Naruto was facing off against a cloud shinobi the last from his group. Naruto didn't seem to care what his name was but knew he was not all that strong from the way he carried himself.

"Begin" The third examiner shouted.

Naruto ran towards the Cloud-nin full forced with his staff. Naruto was able to dodge most of the cloud-nins but his speed was better than his and quickly beat him to the ground. Naruto was in shock that the cloud–nin was that good but failed to realize that his staff was in his hands.

"So this is where you get your power, what would you do if I cut this hunk of wood in half" the cloud-nin tauntingly told Naruto. Naruto however was in shock when the cloud took his staff and broke it in half using some sort of lightning cut Jutsu. Naruto however was in shock he couldn't stop the rage that was building inside him.

"How dare you break that staff, that staff was a precious gift I got from a good friend" Naruto spoke in a whisper. Up in the stands Genma was worried about Naruto and what he was going to do.

"Naruto don't use that technique," Genma shouted at Naruto but it fell on deaf ears. Naruto prepared a Kanashibari no Jutsu (Temporary Paralysis Technique), which froze the cloud-nin in his shoes. Genma tired to stop Naruto from using this deadly technique but it was too late as Naruto appeared right in front of the Cloud-nin and used the bringer of darkness technique. The whole room seemed to turn dark, and then everyone saw 15 flashes of light. When the darkness subsided everyone looked to see a dead cloud-nin and Naruto with blood red eyes.

A/N: Well Chapter 5 is here and sorry for the long update as well as the shortened fights but I really couldn't be asked to draw out these fights. But the final matches will be drawn out longer and be more epic I promise you that. Thank you for reviewing and such wonderful comments I think this chapter was probably was not my best but I think the main focus of this chapter was his actual birthday and Naruto's acceptance by many people and his realisation of Ten-Ten. Once again happy reading and happy reviewing
