Yep that's it so far and it seems Naru/Harem is in a very big lead; anyways I hope this chapter isn't that bad. Well se you at the bottom.
Let It Begin
Well today was supposed to be a regular day for Naruto; he goes through the second exam, go back home and probably do a little training. Well it seems things weren't meant to be; the first problem happened when the Snake Sannin Orochimaru interrupted his second exam to give Sasuke a hickey. The second problem happened when they woke the next morning to be attacked by Orochimaru throw away or as Naruto like to call them mindless slaves. Now as you would think it can't get any worse well we all know what happens when people think this; things actually managed to get worse. This is were we find our young friend in a position he didn't see himself in for a couple of years.
"Yo…you're Itachi" Naruto said as he looks into the eyes of Itachi sharingan.
"I'm happy you remember me Naruto; it's been a long time hasn't" Itachi said as he motion Naruto to sit on a log. Naruto complied but he never took his eyes of the duo.
"Hey hey what about me; don't you remember" Kisame said not wanting to be left out.
"Kisame you're making your self look bad" Itachi said in his cool un-wavering voice.
"Your just mad that your not as outgoing" Kisame said while tapping his sword, while watching Naruto try to sneak away.
"Where do you think your going" Kisame said while appearing in front of Naruto.
"Well I saw that you'll was busy so I thought I should you know take my leave" Naruto said while scratching the back of his head.
"Kisame forget it we'll get right to the point" Itachi said while turning to face Naruto and Kisame.
"Alright whatever" Kisame stated while hopping up in the tree to sit on a branch.
"Naruto we work for an organization which would like you to further there invitation to you" Itachi stated without as much as a pause.
"I don't know; are you trying to trick me" Naruto said as he looked skeptical of the proposal.
"No we are a high ranking organization we don't kid" Itachi said with an emotionless voice.
"But what about him" Naruto said while pointing towards Kisame "He's always kidding around" which made Kisame fall from his tree.
"See what I mean" Naruto said in a voice that showed he was right.
"He is an exception" Itachi said while making the barest movement of the face.
"I'll think about it" Naruto said while wondering how much time they will give him before he can make a choice, but before he can voice his thoughts Itachi cut him off.
"You have until the end of the chuunin exam to make your choice" Itachi said as he and Kisame turned to leave.
"Alright see you then fish face and weasel" Naruto said while disappearing out of the area. In the moment you would think you heard a scream saying how dear he calls me fish face, but we will never know.
"Kisame let's move" Itachi stated while jumping up to the next branch.
"I have to make one more stop before we leave Konoha" Itachi stated with a creepy smile on his face.
"Itachi I hope you now that smile is just creepy" Kisame said while moving away from him.
"I know, I know" Itachi said while he continued on the course towards his destination.
'Sasuke my brother it's time I paid you a visit' Itachi thought as he and his partner disappeared like they were never there in the first place.
Break
It seems people thought the Hokage would lose his touch in his old age, but they were sadly wrong. Sarutobi noticed the chakra signature in his room before the chuunin even came and talk to him; yet he didn't say anything because they showed no ill intentions. Now it was time to confront this person whoever they might be.
"You can come out now I know your there" Sandaime said as he turned towards the chakra source.
"Hmmm it seems you have not lost your skills in your old age" The mysterious stranger said as he started to walk out the shadows.
"And what brings you here…" Sandaime started saying waiting for the stranger to reveal himself, but when he saw who it was he was very surprise.
"Jiraiya" Sandaime said with a surprised voice.
"What brings you here" Sandaime asked.
"You seem surprised to see me sensei" Jiraiya said with a little smirk.
"I just thought you said you weren't coming back last time we spoke" Sandaime said as he pointed to a chair for him to sit.
"Well I heard that there was a special child here that might need my help" Jiraiya said as he sat down. Sarutobi started thinking what could make Jiraiya come back to the village; then it hit him maybe he meant Naruto.
"Are you talking about Naruto" Sarutobi questioned. He realized he was right when Jiraiya gave him a little nod.
"Yup you're right, I heard the kid got plenty of potential even more so than my old apprentice; he might even be able to carry on the legacy of Icha Icha" Jiraiya said as he started giggling from the images appearing in his head.
"I see you're still perverted as ever Jiraiya" Sarutobi said with a little smile on his face.
"And I know that you are very happy that I am" Jiraiya said which caused a small blush to appear on his sensei face.
"I think a lot of ninjas out there are thankful for your books" Sarutobi said.
"But let us get back to the reason you're here" Sandaime said as he adopted a serious face.
"What do you want with Naruto" Sandaime said with a voice of a trained diplomat.
"I heard that the boy in some way might be related to my former student" Jiraiya said with a hint of hopefulness.
"And how did you find out about this information" Sarutobi said slightly aggravated that someone knows of Naruto heritage.
"I came across this information from a certain source" Jiraiya said as he hoped his sensei fell for his bait.
"And who told you of Naruto heritage" Sandaime said showing his aggravation, but then he realized something.
"That person was you sensei" Jiraiya said with a happy voice.
"And know that I know he is my ex-apprentice son I want to train him like I did his father" Jiraiya said showing no room for argument.
"I don't think I can let you do that because of the disposition of the counsel" Sarutobi said with a sad voice.
"What do you mean by that" Jiraiya said.
"Well if the counsel find out that a Sannin is training Naruto it would make them very angry, and they would try to anything in there power to bring the downfall of Naruto" Sandaime said sadly.
"Well if they don't know I'm training him that will give us time to find a way to out-wit them" Jiraiya said while thinking of a way he could take Naruto on as an apprentice without problems.
"Ok Jiraiya, I'll allow you to train Naruto the month he has of between the preliminaries and the third exam but after that you'll have to find away around the council ruling" Sarutobi said as turned around to face the window. He stood there for a couple of minutes recollecting all the things he has done and seen in his past life. He was getting old and he knew it soon he will have to retire, and then he will have to choose a new hokage; which made him start to think.
"Hey Jiraiya after the exam I need you to do me a favor" The old man said as he sat back in his seat. The look on his face made Jiraiya really worried at what he would be asked to do.
"And what would that be might I ask" Jiraiya asked Sandaime with an incredulous look on his face.
"Oh nothing much I just want you go and get the new hokage" Sandaime said with an innocent face.
"And who might that be" Jiraiya asked not looking to sure well.
"Well I can say that it's an old friend yours" Sandaime said with a smirk on his face, but when he said that it made Jiraiya scared.
"No not her anyone but her" He practically screamed as his face contorted with fear as images of an over zealous women laying the smack down on him.
"Well I'm sorry, but I'm getting old so I will need a replacement soon and I don't think you want to be the next hokage" Sarutobi said but when he saw Jiraiya thinking about it he added something to make sure.
"It might interfere with your research" That was all it took to change his mind.
"Ok but on one condition the brat comes with me" Jiraiya said as started to get up from his seat.
"Oh and Jiraiya it would bring great pleasure to me if you were at the final exams up in the hokage box" Sandaime said.
"Ok sensei whatever you say" Jiraiya said as he disappeared in a swirl of leaves leaving Sandaime to think on his own.
"Arashi you would be proud of what your son is becoming" Sandaime said as he look at the picture of the fourth hokage.
Break
(AN: Right now I am not able to type too much so the preliminaries are going to be short.)
"If anyone feels (cough) they are not (cough) able to take the (hack cough hack) exams please quit (wheeze) now" A very sick looking man said.
"Examiner I do not feel up to par" Kabuto said as he turned to leave. Naruto eyed him as he walked away because unless his senses were wrong Kabuto still had more than enough chakra to participate in the matches.
"Anyone else" The examiner said as he went into a coughing fit. When no one raised there hands he signaled them to go up to the balcony. When they arrived the match board started spinning. It landed on Sasuke and the Nin from Kabuto team.
"Will both contestants come down" The examiner said surprisingly without coughing. Sasuke was the first one down and then the other guy slowly walked in.
"Hajime" He yelled as he jumped out the way. Sasuke bolted into action throwing punches and kicks but when he realizes nothing was working he went to activate his sharingan, but a surging pain reminded him he couldn't. The next thing that happened was surprising; the Nin stretched to unbelievable lengths and latch on to him. Sasuke at first didn't care but when he felt his chakra slowly leaving him he got worried.
"My specialty is absorbing chakra" The Nin said as he smirks in a way claiming victory. Leaving Sasuke in mid air he left him to drop on the floor unceremoniously. What happened next surprised everyone except a couple of people.
'He stole my move' thought Lee and he was right. Sasuke was in the middle of the combo Lee did to him, but he change up the end.
"Shishi Rendan" Sasuke yelled out as he landed a devastating combo on the Nin promptly knocking him out.
"Winner is Sasuke" The announcer said as Sasuke walked off with Kakashi. The matches after that were not that amazing so Naruto zoned it out in order to talk to Kyuubi.
Inside Naruto Mind
"Hey Kyuubi" Naruto yelled as he walked up to the cage.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT DON'T YOU SEE ME SLEAPING" The giant beast said as he curled up more to escape Naruto big mouth.
"Well I needed some help on the decision to make on going with Akatsuki" Naruto said as he leaned up against the bar.
"ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT JOINING THEM" Kyuubi said turning his attention to the blonde boy next to him.
"I don't know, they seem powerful but I don't know there intentions for me" Naruto said with a thoughtful gaze.
"WELL YOU CAN ALWAYS GO AND FIND OUT THEN" Kyuubi said but continued his speech before Naruto could speak.
"BUT DON'T FORGET YOUR GOAL IN LIFE TO BECOME THE STORNGEST PERSON, BECAUSE IM SURE THEY WOULD NOT LET YOU ACQUIRE THAT TYPE OF STRNEGHT IF YOU WERE IN THERE GROUP" Kyuubi said as he started to lay back down.
"Yeah you're right" Naruto said.
"So after a couple of years training under them I will eventually leave them on my own will" Naruto said as he started raising himself from his position.
"ONE MORE THING" Kyuubi said while turning his full attention on Naruto.
"DON'T LOSE" It might have sounded like a statement but Naruto knew it was more of an order.
"Yeah yeah whatever fur ball" And with that Naruto came out of his mind.
"Winner Shikamaru Nara" That was the first thing he heard when he came back to the real world.
"Next match Naruto vs. Kiba" The board flashed as both competitors jump down to the arena floor.
"Were gonna wipe the floor with you right Akamaru (bark) (bark)" That was the first thing that was said from Kiba and that might be the last for the match.
"Hajime" As those words were said Naruto blasted of straight towards Kiba with speed that probably rivaled Lee. He landed a mean right foot to the face of Kiba which sent him straight into a wall. As the dust started to disappear it revealed Kiba which looked like he was not getting up but then they saw some movement.
"That was a mean hit" He said as he wiped some blood from his face.
"Akamaru lets go Juujin: Bunshin" He yelled as Akamaru transformed into a replica of him.
"Gatsuuga" He yelled as him and his dog started spinning madly and charged at Naruto. Naruto in all sense seeing a spinning tornado coming at him knew he needed to do something. So he went through a couple of hand seals and did one of his favorite jutsu's
"Doryuu Heki" He yelled as he spews some mud on the floor which started turning in to a brick wall. Before Kiba could stop he and Akamaru came crashing head first into a thick slab of rock which in turn knock both of them out. The examiner was quite confused; one second it looked like Naruto was about to be ripped to shreds the next second Kiba knocked himself out. So he did the only thing that came to mind he called out the winner.
"Winner is Uzamaki Naruto" He said as he pointed to the said person. The people in the crowds snap out of there confusion when the heard the enouncements and just turned to look at Naruto who was already walking up to the balcony.
"All winners please come down to the middle of the arena to pick a number" The examiner said. Naruto silently curse; he just finished walking back up to the balcony and now he had to go back down. When they got down they were told to pick a ball out of a bag. When everyone was finished they were asked there numbers.
Naruto-1
Neji-6
Gaara-4
Sasuke-8
Kankuru-2
Shino-5
Temari-3
Shikamaru-7
"You will fight the person you see on the board" Sandaime said as he pointed to the board. It said Naruto vs. Neji, Gaara vs. Sasuke, Kankurou vs. Shino, and Temari vs. Shikamaru.
"You have one month to train before the finals, until then I bid you good luck and farewell" And with those words the preliminaries before the third round were finally over.
