FYI I DON'T OWN NARUTO
The next day, they all got to work. Yuri helped Ryuu while Rokiba practiced Shadow Possession. After a while, Ryuu began to hear the leaf being sliced. Excited, he saw that the leaf had a tear. He kept working on it, knowing he had the knack for it. Yuri was beginning to create her electrical current. Her chakra control was great, so it was easier for her, though she didn't generate much electricity. Rokiba had now been able to actually extend his shadow somewhere. With all three excited, Naruto saw their progress and encouraged them.
"Wow, you guys have come far. Keep at it; you guys are going to the chunin exams in a month. You need to prepare for it. Keep at it as often as you can." Naruto said cheerfully. "Your team, Sasuke's team, and Sakura's team will all go with us."
"Really, you think we're ready?" Yuri asked.
"Of course, so long as you keep training. Now go train!" Naruto-sensei told them.
Immediately, they worked even harder on their nature training. After 3 weeks, they had done considerably better. They had each fully learned their technique.
"Yuri, amazing job on that Lightning Palm, it is coming along. Ryuu, excellent on your Wind Palm Jutsu, and Rokiba, Shadow Possession is working quite well. When we get back, Yuri and Ryuu work on a harder jutsu. Rokiba, begin medical ninjutsu with Sakura after the chunin exams. Now everyone, prepare your gear for the chunin exams." Naruto said to them.
The three prepared their kunai, shuriken, explosive tags, scrolls, and other equipment.
"Who knows when will need this stuff?" Yuri asked as she grabbed her scrolls.
"You never know when it might come in handy." Rokiba told her.
On the final day, they were all given a medicinal kit from Naruto and Sakura.
"Even though this is a medicine kit, you're first exam is a written test. Don't flunk it!" Naruto-sensei told them. "Even I didn't flunk."
"And you didn't even answer a single question." Sakura said smacking him upside the head. "Don't worry, it's not too hard. Just do your best."
Sasuke's team arrived with Sakura's, while Naruto's team was already there.
"Ready everyone, let's begin." Naruto-sensei said as they walked to the test taking center. With everyone ready, the genin entered the door to take the exam.
After the test began, each began working the problems. With ease, and without cheating, they successfully got the answers. They were smart, excellent shinobi for sure. Then came the tenth question. Ibiki got up in front of everyone, and asked the famed tenth question.
"If you get this question wrong, you fail forever. If you want, you can leave and take the exam again. Does anyone wish to leave?" Ibiki announced in his cold voice.
After lots of people left, he asked again, but no one budged.
"You… pass." He said. Shocked, everyone got up and went to their senseis with the good news.
"Naruto-sensei, we did it." Yuri said happily.
"Now on to the hard part. Part two of the Chunin exams." Naruto told them. "Into the training grounds with everyone else for five days, that's what you have to do. It's survival of the fittest. But no worries, you'll all survive. Now prepare! After all, you're better than rookies."
The three, super excited, began to prepare like none other. They made sure they could perform all of their jutsus at a single notice. After a week, it was time for the second part of the exams.
Rock Lee was there, ready to oversee the exams.
"Okay, is everyone ready for this youthful experience? The second exam is to get a Heaven and Earth scroll and meet at the tower in the middle of this forest. You have 5 days. There is no opening of the scrolls before then or else." Rock Lee said. "Now go to your gate and get ready."
Everyone signed their release forms and got their Earth or Heaven scrolls. After that they moseyed to their gate. Rokiba, Yuri, and Ryuu got to Gate 31.
"So, we have a Heaven scroll and need an Earth scroll. What should our strategy be?" Rokiba pointed out.
"Let's find a weak group with the Earth Scroll with Yuri's Byakugan. We'll all go in together, but I'll use my Genjutsu on them, so Rokiba can get their scroll. The back up plan is for all of us to use our ninjutsus in sync, just like the fight against Naruto's clones. Okay?" Ryuu said.
Both nodded in full agreement. After their strategy had been decided, the gate opened; quickly they went through to find an area they could secure. After finding a hollow tree, they got nearby it.
"Byakugan!" Yuri said, searching for another team. After 10 minutes of searching, they finally found a team. "500 meters southwest of here and another team 20 meters west of them." Yuri said.
"Okay, let's go, Sharigan." Ryuu said.
The three started moving. With his Sharigan activated, Ryuu began to prepare his Genjutsu. After a couple minutes, they reached the edge of a clearing. They saw the two teams fighting.
"Now what?" Yuri asked.
"Let's do our plan except we cast the Genjutsu over all of them and take their scrolls. We'll do our back up plan if it doesn't work." Rokiba suggested.
"Yes, that should work. My Genjutsu should be powerful enough to cover them all." Ryuu said.
Ryuu dropped from the tree with a scream. The two teams looked at him, unfortunately in the eyes.
"Visual Jutsu, Sharigan." He said. Both teams were in the Genjutsu. They just stood there.
"Go you two. With this many I don't know how long I can hold it." Ryuu said.
Rokiba and Yuri dropped from the tree and searched for the scrolls.
"Here's a Heaven scroll." Rokiba said.
"And here's an Earth scroll." Yuri said.
"Okay get out of here, I have to release the Genjutsu." Ryuu said.
Rokiba and Yuri got back up to the tree they jumped out of.
"Release." Ryuu said, releasing the Genjutsu and running up the tree.
"Let's go." Yuri said. "We should try to head to the tower."
"Yeah, but there may be traps. So be alert. At a certain point, Yuri should use Byakugan and Rokiba, you should use Sharigan." Rokiba said.
When they got a kilometer away from the tower, they took a rest. While they rested, Yuri used Byakugan without anyone seeing. Yuri scanned her immediate area, turning her head to see in her blind spot. Seeing a team spying on them, she grabbed a kunai with an explosive tag. She threw it quickly at them. The surprised team had hardly any time to react. Rokiba and Ryuu whipped around to see the blast. The team got into defensive position with Byakugan and Sharigan activated.
"Don't let them sneak up." Rokiba shouted.
"Kunai, upper right." Yuri said.
Rokiba flew to stop it.
"Kunai, behind upper left and lower right." Yuri shouted.
Rokiba again deflected them. A figure appeared; it was a girl dressed in a white robe. The girl walked toward them. She extended a hand as if saying hello. Rokiba began to extend his own hand. He was stopped by Yuri. He looked into her eyes. Her eyes were filled with the power to overcome this deception. Rokiba brought his hands into the Ram hand seal.
"Release!" He shouted.
"Where's Ryuu?" Rokiba asked.
"Fighting an unseen enemy." She replied.
The same girl appeared.
"Oh, you got out of my Genjutsu, huh." She said. "Clever, but not good enough."
Rokiba ran toward her with kunai in hand. She got out a kunai. When they clashed, he made sure to hit her hand away. The girl looked back at him.
"Gotcha." Rokiba said.
"No you didn't." She replied.
"Look at your wrist." He told her. She looked at her wrist, expecting to see a bruise, only to see a mark.
"Let's go Ryuu." Rokiba shouted.
Ryuu appeared, and the three went to the tower.
"What was that back there?" Yuri asked.
"Oh, I marked her with my Flying Thunder God Jutsu. So if I'm in battle with her, I can transport right to her and knock her out." Rokiba explained.
"Well I had my own trouble. I had to fight two guys. They were both Taijutsu users mainly. I was lucky. All I had to do was catch them in my Genjutsu. Neither of them had a scroll, which means either they didn't have one or the girl had it." Ryuu said.
"Oh well, we'll just have to see what happened later. If she had it, they might be in the next exam, if not, they won't be. It's that simple." Rokiba said. "Let's just keep moving."
When they got inside the tower, they opened the two scrolls simultaneously. Naruto-sensei appeared.
"Your mission is to clean the training grounds. Oh, it's you guys; sorry I was just assigning a team a mission. I hadn't realized I was being summoned this early. Well, you passed and are moving on; you have a month to train. Stay here until I get you at the end of the 5 days. Now if you'll excuse me." Naruto finished as he poofed back to his office.
"Well, now it's time to rest and train." Ryuu said.
"Yep, rest." Rokiba agreed, as he closed his eyes to rest.
After the 5 days were up, they saw Naruto-sensei coming to get them.
"Hey guys, are you ready to leave?" Naruto asked them.
"We're all set. We got 4 days of good rest and training." Rokiba said.
"Then let's go." Naruto-sensei said.
"Yeah, but where's the real Naruto-sensei?" Ryuu said.
The Naruto figure turned around to face them.
"You're very perceptive. I knew my disguise wouldn't last long." The Naruto form said, transforming into an Akatsuki member.
The three got into a defense formation.
"Who are you and where is Naruto-sensei?" Ryuu shouted.
"I'm Madara Uchiha. I am one of Ryuu's ancestors…" He said.
"No way. That would make you too old! How could you be alive?" Ryuu shouted.
"Ah, that's a very strange thing huh. Unlike you, I have the Eternal Mangekyo Sharigan. Interesting things can happen with it." He replied.
"What do you want with us?" Rokiba asked.
"I wish to become your sensei." Madara said. "We need Akatsuki members like you. We don't have many left. So how about it?"
"No way. Naruto-sensei is so much better than an Akatsuki member." Rokiba shouted.
The other two said similar things.
"Well then, I'll give you these scrolls. If you wish to talk to me about it, open the scroll. Think on it." Madara said tossing them the scrolls.
Naruto-sensei rushed in as Madara poofed himself away.
"Where is he?" Naruto asked.
"He just left." Rokiba said.
"Darn it. Oh well, we'll just have to wait until next time." Naruto said.
The three looked at each other tentatively. They had already slipped Madara's scrolls into their back pockets. The four of them went back to Konoha for training. Each of them was assigned his/her own individual tutor. Yuri got Hinata, Ryuu got Sasuke, and Rokiba got Naruto. The next day, individual lessons began.
"Okay, ready for training. We'll begin with training on the Flying Thunder God Technique; luckily I actually know that jutsu. You need to be able to execute it perfectly. First you need to practice the seal. So begin with placing the seal on ten different areas in this training ground. Put them in strategic places you'll actually be able to fight in." Naruto told him.
Rokiba looked around at the area. He took one glance and began to create seals. After he finished the seals, he looked back to Naruto.
"Now, make ten more seals on these kunai." Naruto told him, placing ten kunai with paper attached in front of Rokiba.
Rokiba formed the seals perfectly on the kunai. He handed them back to Naruto, but Naruto gave them back.
"Now, I want you to transport all of these kunai simultaneously to their respective locations. To do this, you must concentrate. The rest is up to you. I'll do my paperwork while you practice." Naruto said.
"Yeah right and by paperwork you mean 'Make-Out Tactics'." Rokiba said.
Naruto stuck his tongue out as Rokiba began. Rokiba concentrated as he formed all 10 locations in his mind. Rokiba struggled to get all ten locations in his mind. Once he thought he had them, with the kunai around his fingers he used Flying Thunder God. Naruto looked up from his book to check the ten locations. Rokiba went around picking up the kunai. Unfortunately two had missed their target.
"Darn it. I missed two." Rokiba said.
"Oh well, keep on concentrating." Naruto said.
For the rest of the day, he repeated this process. Each time missing a couple. As Rokiba went home disappointed, he reflected on the day's work. He had formed the seals perfectly, focused on ten locations, and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport the kunai to the locations. He went over how he could concentrate on them all. It had to be the key. Brooding over possible solutions, he saw his Ninja Academy instructor, Udon-sensei.
"Oy, Udon-sensei." Rokiba shouted.
"Hey, what's up?" Udon asked.
"I was wondering, is it possible to concentrate on ten things at once?" Rokiba asked in reply.
"Sure it's possible, but it's tough. What I find best is to write it all out first and then try to concentrate, connecting each one with a silly mnemonic." Udon said.
"Oh okay, I'll try that, thank you." Rokiba said, walking back home.
After Rokiba got home, he took ten scrolls out. He wrote the locations of each of the kunai, placed them around him, and began to concentrate. He connected them in his mind, moving from one location to another. The locations became a circle in his mind, a continuous loop of moving from one area to another. Pleased with his progress, he put the ten scrolls in his backpack for tomorrow.
The next day, he grabbed his backpack and headed off to train. He saw Naruto was already there waiting for him.
"Ready then?" Naruto asked.
"For sure. I got some help this time." Rokiba said pulling out the ten scrolls.
Naruto looked to see what was on the scrolls. Each had a location and mnemonic phrase to help connect the areas together. Rokiba sat in the middle of the scrolls. As he began to concentrate, he noticed he could think about each area altogether.
"Flying Thunder God Jutsu!" Rokiba said.
He checked each of his locations. Inside log: Hit. Backside of tree: Hit. Place behind hill: Hit. Backside of another log: Hit. After checking them all, he found out he had hit them all.
"Naruto-sensei, I did it; I hit all ten at once." Rokiba said giddy.
"Good now do it again, each time launch them faster." Naruto told.
Rokiba went back to his beginning location with the kunai. He concentrated faster on the locations and launched them. He kept this repetition up all day. Soon he had it to 3 seconds.
"Good work today. Tomorrow we start on launching yourself. Well, see you then." Naruto-sensei said.
"Thanks see ya." Rokiba said
The next day, Rokiba tried to transport himself to practice. Concentrating on the backside of one of the trees, he used his jutsu. He saw Naruto-sensei had just popped out of a different nearby tree.
"Good job on getting here. You thought about transporting here, didn't you?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah, since we're teleporting me, I thought I should get to practice that way." Rokiba replied.
"I guess so. Your first task is to make ten new locations. You will then transport yourself to each location in succession. The goal of this is to be able to teleport yourself anywhere in the arena or a battlefield. Hopefully this way, you won't be able to get hit by enemy attacks. Now begin." Naruto explained.
Rokiba looked around at the training field. He went around and picked his locations. He began his jutsu concentrating on his first location. He made the same mnemonic he did last time, except for the new locations. He teleported himself quickly to the first location, next he went to the new location, and so on until he had been to all 10 locations.
"Good." Naruto praised. "But, you need to get to each area quicker. You take too long on getting to the next location. Make the hand seals faster."
Rokiba repeated the process for the rest of that day, moving from 10 seconds of lag time to 5 seconds. Training proceeded this way for the rest of the month. The final part of the Chunin Exams began.
