Thanks for the reviews everyone. I never expected this story to do so well so really thanks hands everyone a cookie. Yes Sasuke getting his ass kicked was really needed. I hope to keep stuff like that up and there will be a fight this chap but with an unexpected opponent for naruto heh heh here we go. In response to your request Emerald I promise to not do a NaruSaku fic I don't believe she deserves to even hang out with naruto, I also refuse to do a NaruHina pairing because though they are cut together just the fact that he is loud and brash and she is way to insecure and quiet just turns me off from that pairing. So this will either be a NaruTem, NaruTen, or a NaruO.C. Pairing fic. Oh one more thing my O.C's will make their debut during the third part of the chunnin exams so there probably won't be a definite pairing until after then sorry about that all I ask is patience. This will be my first chapter with an actual fight hope you guys enjoy it, it was a hard chapter to write.

Naruto was sitting on top the hokage monument thinking back on the last two weeks of his training he still had one week and one sensei to go through before the chunnin exams began and he was meeting him tomorrow near the hot springs, why the hot springs he didn't know he just hoped his sensei wasn't a pervert this one was supposed to become his permanent sensei. His training with Kurenai-sensei had helped a lot, but he had learned that he definitely wasn't a genjutsu (1) type shinobi though he did master one. The next week after his genjutsu training, well he just smiled as he thought back to one of the best weeks in his entire life.
(Flashback)
"Hey old man my first week is done so who's my new sensei for this week" naruto said as he walked into the hokage office.
"So naruto how was genjutsu training" the hokage replied.
"Well I wasn't very good at it but I did learn how to do one well old man"
"Well that's good but before I reveal who your mentors will be this week I need to make sure of something, please channel your chakra into this slip of paper for me" he handed naruto the slip and watched as it split right in halve. "I knew you had wind affinity I just had to make sure of it" he turned towards the door "you can come in now."
Naruto looked towards the door as two men walked in. The first one he had seen running around konoha before, his name was Maito Gai. He was wearing a green spandex jumpsuit with orange ankle bands; he had a bowl cut hairstyle and abnormally large eyebrows. He smiled at naruto and almost blinded him with the shine off his teeth. Naruto quickly looked away before he lost his sight and two inspect his other sensei. This one he had never seen before and was obviously from another village with the head band that had a symbol that looked like an hourglass with a single line under it. He had a white cloth covering the top of his head and halve of his face. He had a tan colored jonin vest and cargo pants.
"So this is the boy I need to teach wind jutsu to" he asked.
"Yes Baki-san as part of our countries allegiance jonin must teach element jutsu to those with an affinity for that element"
"Fine he better be willing to work hard and make sure he stays out of the way of Gaara, he has a nasty temper and kills those who annoy him." Baki replied.
"Yosh naruto your taijutsu (2) will shine with the brightness of your youth when your training is done with me." Gai stated way too loudly.
(End flashback)
Naruto shuddered at the thought of Gai-sensei's training where he was almost forced into one of those green suits until he shredded everyone that they tried to force on him. He did wear the weights though and they did help him start to develop his own taijutsu style. He had become close friends with Lee and Tenten, Neji was ok just a bit stuck up, during his training with them. He suddenly blushed when he remembered one incident that happened during his training with them for the first half of the week.
(Flashback)
In one of the training grounds naruto with lee was working on his endurance by kicking one of the wood posts till it broke. Meanwhile, Tenten was helping Neji develop one of his jutsu called the Kaiten, which involved him releasing an exact amount of chakra to repel any attack but he was having trouble releasing the right amount, he always released a bit too little as you could tell from the many kunai cut marks all over his body. He was getting frustrated with it and it started to show on his face when lee and naruto walked over to see how they were doing. Then it happened, Neji finally had enough and released as much chakra as he could at once, the result was he repelled the kunai Tenten had thrown at him while in the air right back at her at twice the speed. She had no way of dodging so she just closed her eyes wand waited for the end. She heard the sound of many kunai hits but felt no pain, confused she opened her eyes to see that naruto had jumped in front of her and taken all the kunai in his chest. She could only watch shocked as he landed besides her and started pulling the kunai out, she was stunned to see the wounds heal within a few seconds from when the kunai were removed.
"How… how did you do that naruto, heal all those wounds so fast?" she asked.
He tensed "what do you mean they weren't that deep so you must have mistaken the blood for deep wounds." He replied trying to laugh it off, but they weren't having it.
"Cut the crap naruto we all saw it." Said Neji from behind him.
Naruto started shaking "you'll just hate me like all the villagers if I tell you"
"Please naruto-kun, you can tell us" Tenten said as she leaned forward and hugged him "And thank you for saving me"
"Maybe I can tell them, well it's now or never" he thought as he reluctantly removed himself from tenten's arms.
"Thank you for the hug Ten-Chan it was nice for my first hug ever." He said as he faced all three of them.
"That was your first hug?" she asked.
He nodded "You'll understand after I tell you why." He took a deep breath. "What do you guys know about the legend of the nine- tailed fox?" he asked.
"Wasn't he defeated and killed by the fourth hokage 13 years ago naruto?" replied lee.
"No lee he wasn't killed, he was beat though, he was sealed into the son of the fourth so that it would never come back and so that his son could protect the people of konoha in his absence." He replied.
"So the fourth had a son, who is he?" Neji asked.
"Me, that's why the villagers hate me so much, it's because the nine-tailed fox is in me, they see me as a demon not it's containers." He said, and then he turned around and waited to hear them run or attack him for he would never hurt his friends if he could help it. What happened next was the last thing he expected. A pair of arms wrapped around him and pulled him into a hug again.
"I'm so sorry for what the villagers have done to you naruto, but trust us we could never hate you." She told him.
"Yosh, that's right naruto we are your friends" Lee shouted boldly.
"Thanks you so much you don't know what this means to me" naruto said through the tears he cried.
(End flashback)
Thinking back on that moment brought him to thoughts about the other half of that weeks training with the sand shinobi.
(Flashback)
It was his second day of training with the sand trio and they were all taking a break, Temari was by her self repairing any damage to her giant fan. He was on ok terms with Temari no hate or love between them they just accepted each others presence. Kankuro was off to the other side messing with his puppets making sure all the blades were sharp and ready, he and naruto played pranks on Temari and Baki-san quite often. Gaara was another story though; he always kept a stoic face and didn't speak unless forced to. Naruto finally decided to see if he could become friends with Gaara so he walked over to him. "Hey Gaara how's it going?" he asked. Both Kankuro and Temari watched wearily for Gaara's reaction.
"What do you want Uzumaki" he asked.
"Nothing much just trying to be friendly is all" he replied.
"Just leave me alone before I kill you." Gaara replied looking at naruto with bloodlust in his eyes.
Temari thought quickly how to defuse this situation so she walked over to naruto and whispered. "Don't take it personal he has had a hard life being hated by our village and almost assassinated a few times for something he had no control of." Narutos eyes widened in shock.
"So you have one to Gaara?" he asked.
"Have one what Uzumaki?" he replied cautiously.
"A demon in you right? I have one too." Naruto said. Both Temari and Kankuro backed away from them when they heard this.
"Y-y-you're like me?" Gaara said with might have been a trace of hope that he wasn't alone in the world.
Naruto nodded then he closed his eyes when he opened them again they were blood red "Gaara meet the container of Kyubii"
Gaara stood there then smiled the first smile of his life since he was six as sand rose around him "Naruto meet the container of Shukaku, also know as Ichibi (3)."
Temari started crying Gaara was actually showing emotions this blonde boy that showed some skill had saved her brother from a life of loneliness with just one act. "Maybe there's more to him than a somewhat skilled shinobi she thought" From that point on the sand trio became the sand four as they treated naruto like one of the family.
(End flashback)
Naruto just sighed with happiness at those thoughts of his family as he called Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, Neji, Lee, and Tenten. As he laid back he looked up to see someone walking towards him, he blinked not just one but two people two kunoichi who it took a while for him to recognize. "Hello Haruno and Yamanaka how are you tonight?" he asked them.
"Apologize for what you did to Sasuke-Kun" both of them demanded.
"And if I don't?" he asked.
"Then were going to kill you right now" they shouted at him.
"Well if you really want a piece of me then lets go to one of the training fields and we can see if you really can hurt me or if your both just full of hot air, I think it's probably the last option but time will tell hey sakura and Ino-Chan?" he asked them while adding the Chan suffix derisively which pissed both girls off to the extreme.
"Lets go!" sakura shouted at him.
"Ya right now" Ino followed with sakura both walking towards the nearest training field.
On the way to the field Naruto bumped into Tenten and Temari on their way home from training.
"Hey naruto what's up with Ino and Sakura" Tenten asked.
"Nothing much they just challenged me to a fight so they could try to force me to apologize for beating up Sasuke a few weeks ago, you both want to come watch?" he replied. They both just nodded and started walking besides him each holding one of his arms. When they reached the field they let go and walked to one of the hills surrounding it to watch the match play out because it was sure to be a good fight though they doubted the girls would even be able to touch naruto.
"So are you girls ready?" Naruto asked his opponents.
In answer sakura slid some fighting gloves on and Ino adopted a light defensive stance ready for anything, then they waited for naruto to make the first move.
"I'll finish you both off with one technique!" Naruto shouted boldly as his hands flashed through some signs and finished with is familiar Kage bunshin sign, but instead of clones popping out he slammed his hands to the ground and shouted for everyone to hear. "Original technique Sword and Shield Kage Bunshin.
When nothing happened for a few seconds Ino smirked and charged straight towards naruto who just smiled and adopted a stance similar to how Gaara
Was, with his hands across his chest like he didn't have a care in the world about the kunoichi that was just about to kill him. Then it happened, just when Inos fist was about to land a shadow clone appeared and caught it without naruto making a single move. Then a loud poof sounded behind Ino as a foot buried itself into her back and propelled her into another clones fist effectively knocking her out. Naruto just sighed "I expected a little bit more out of you Yamanaka" he said while shaking his head in disappointment. Then he remembered sakura and just smiled at her which pissed her off to no end so she charged chakra into her fists and punched the ground sending out a shockwave towards naruto. About fifteen clones appeared in various poses taunting her as they absorbed the hit instead of her target. She then charged forward throwing a blur of punches and kicks recklessly at him but no matter where she punched there was always a clone there to block her. "How are you doing that?" she finally asked as she backed away out of breath. "That's for me to know and you to guess he said as he made a clone (without hand signs again she observed) appear behind her and knock her out effectively ending the match without him getting a scratch.
"That was great naruto" both Temari and Tenten shouted running towards him and giving him a hug causing him to blush furiously as he scratched the back of his head laughing. "Well I'm worn out that jutsu takes a lot out of Ya so I'll see you guys around but not tomorrow I have to meet my new sensei then" He told them as he headed back to his apartment. They waved at him as he disappeared and went back to their own rooms dreaming about how cool he was and trying to figure a way to get him to like them as more than a friend.

Chapter vocabulary
Genjutsu: Illusion shinobi techniques
Taijutsu: Physical hand to hand combat
Ichibi: translate as one tail, a giant demon made out of sand in the shape of a raccoon
Chapter jutsu
Kaiten: A clan jutsu were the person performing the techniques releases a set amount of chakra as they spin blocking and reflecting almost any attack.
Sword and Shield Kage Bunshin: A technique where anywhere within a 3oo ft radius around naruto he can make shadow clones appear without seals for attacking and defending, it's his version of an ultimate defense like Gaara's sand is for him, it takes twice the chakra to perform it though so it does have a flaw unlike Gaara's.
