Naruko was still trying to get used to the floating orbs. They were always in her line of sight and she occasionally ducked to miss them before she remembered what Sora had said. He had said that while they are orbs they cannot be touched by anything or touch anything. But when they take on the form of a human, they can touch other people and things but unless the person can see them, they cannot be touched. That meant that only Naruko could touch them.

Naruko had watched on with a smirk as both Haruka and Sadao won their matches with ease. It was awesome. Haruka and Sadao were obviously confused when they saw their opponent getting damage that they hadn't inflicted. Naruko just grinned.

It was time for her match now. She walked down into the arena with her head held high, confidence in her stride. She still had the smirk on her face as she stared directly into the Uchiha's onyx eyes. When the proctor gave word for them to start, Naruko set her mind right, blocking out all sound from the audience and anything else that would distract her. She wanted only to focus on the battle at hand. She tapped her foot on the ground twice before jumping into a tree. The tapping signalled to the spirits that they had to all rustle the leaves in each of the trees, masking her movements. The Uchiha threw several kunai and shuriken at the trees. Each weapon completely missed her. Naruko then performed the Earth Release: Earth Pillar Prison jutsu. Hard mud sticks shot out of the ground around Sasuke. She began moulding the sticks to form a box around Sasuke. The spirits saw the jutsu and placed paper bombs on the inside before the box was completely sealed. A bang went off and the box exploded. However when the dust from the explosion cleared, Sasuke wasn't there. A substitution jutsu, Naruko thought, quickly changing positions.

Sasuke created a shadow clone and ran back out into the centre of the arena. That girl's last jutsu would have killed him if he hadn't seen it. But how did she manage to get the paper bombs on the inside? There hadn't been any shadow clones and the girl herself hadn't been there. He didn't have any time to think on it because the girl was back in the clearing and had taken out his shadow clone and was closing in on him. He jumped back and landed on the wall of the arena, holding himself in place with the chakra he sent to his feet. He got the Chidori going in his hand. He was almost out of chakra and he had hardly done anything. He had to make this count. He focused on the girl standing in the centre of the arena. Why did she look so confident? He was about to take a step forward when someone swept his legs out from underneath him. The Chidori died out and he fell off the wall and onto the ground. As he was beginning to get up again, a hand gripped onto his ankle and pulled him down under ground until only his head was above ground. Sasuke knew this move. It was the Double Suicide Decapitation jutsu. Kakashi-sensei had used it on him during the bell test. Damn her! How could she have beaten me so easily? If I ever see her again I will make sure to do something about her, Sasuke thought.

Naruko's clones disappeared as the real Naruko stepped forward. The proctor declared Naruko winner and had her get Sasuke out of the ground. She held out her hand and said, "Great match."

Sasuke ignored her hand, preferring to say, "Shut it you dumb blonde. Go back to the cesspool you came from." Sasuke waved off the help of the medical-nin and stormed off.

Naruko was enraged at that idiot's comment. How dare he? She went up to see her sensei, ignoring the people cheering in the audience. Naruko was enveloped in a hug from her uncle when she got to where he was with Haruka and Sadao. "Great work, Naruko! You smashed him!" Toru said, releasing his niece from hug.

"Yeah, you were awesome! How did you even get the paper bomb on the inside of that Pillar Prison? It was awesome!" Haruka said, loudly.

"If I had of been any closer to it than I was, my hair would have been totally ruined!" Sadao said, running a hand over his immaculately styled honey blonde hair. Naruko rolled her eyes and began telling the other two that they were awesome as well. Toru-sensei had nothing but support and praise for the three.

The three Iwagakure Genin were now Iwagakure Chunin. Because the Tsuchikage had been here for the Chunin Exams, the three Iwagakure Chunin had been given their uniforms already. They all sported it with pride. The Tsuchikage had many words of praise for them, Naruko in particular for taking out Sasuke Uchiha with such ease.

Hiruzen also praised the three Iwa Chunin. When he looked at Naruko, he smiled. If you knew what to look for, she had many of her father's features. She was also powerful like her father, as he saw during her match with Konoha's best Genin. But he was still wondering how she got those paper bombs on the inside of the box she had created. He shrugged it off as the three Iwa Chunin and Toru left his office. While he had been speaking with Toru yesterday, he had learnt that Naruko knows full well who her parents are and that she has a demon inside of her. She doesn't usually use the demon's chakra but she will if she feels like she has to. Toru had also said that she has a very short temper and will protect her friends and her village with her life. Hiruzen was surprised when Toru said that she says nothing to anyone of who her father is or that she has a demon in her when she is picked on by others for having such bright hair. She had turned out better than he hoped she would and he was happy for that.

Naruko sat with Sora in a place out of sight, watching the ever present orbs float around them. "Thank you, Sora." Naruko said. She had thanked all of the spirits who had helped before but she wanted to thank Sora personally.

"My pleasure." Sora grinned widely. "It was great fun. Especially getting to bash the living daylights out of that Kunoichi that your squad member as facing."

"Yeah, you did great." Naruko said.

"You did better though! The Uchiha brat didn't stand a chance! He was so easy to defeat. It was basically over in like, ten minutes and without getting a single scratch." Sora said, throwing an arm over Naruko's shoulder. "Just think about this. We will forever be defeating our opponents together. I can see it now; Naruko and Sora! The Spirit Lord and her dead best friend." Sora slowly waved his hand in front of them both while looking at the sky as if actually picturing it.

"Spirit Lord?" Naruko asked.

"Yeah, that's what Uzumaki's who can see us are called. It's got a nice ring to it, hasn't it?" Sora asked.

"Yeah, it's nice." Naruko replied. So Naruko was a Spirit Lord. Nice, she thought.
