Chapter 21: Jounin exams part 3

The time in between the second and third part of the Jounin exams flew by like a gust of wind. Before anyone knew it was time for the tournament. Like the Chuunin exams before the entire stadium was filled with people. From all over the elemental countries people had come to see the final part even the villages that had it's teams sent home were their. Though, most of the Iwa nin left because they feared that they would have to either fight Minato or Naruto or both.

Naruto, Temari, Shikamaru, Hinata, Shino, Ino and Yugito stood in the middle of the arena with the other contestants.

In the Kage booth Minato sat with the other Kages. Though the Kage from Iwa looked a little nervous sitting next to a man of such legends. With them was Itachi in his old ANBU outfit with the mask of a weasel. Some would say he was weak when he wore it but he always proved them wrong.

"I am curious," the Grass Kage spoke up, "Where is this so called 'Great' Uchiha? I did not here his name called during the first or second part of the exam."

"He is not competing," Itachi said, "he didn't pass the Chuunin exams and he proved that he wasn't the great man everyone thought he was."

"Yeah," Minato said agreeing, "He kept trying to have his way and he did with the civilian council but he lost power after that. He was just a spoiled brat with a god complex."

The other kages nodded wisely. They knew that putting him in the exams would make this village look like it was a pathetic town that could be taken over at any time.

"Are we ready to begin?" Minato asked into a microphone.

The cheers and applause that rang through the stadium was a clear sign that everyone was ready for the tournament.

"Okay," Minato said taking out the list of fighters.

The first match was between Shino and a Rain ninja.

Haku, who was the proctor, walked up to the boys.

"Okay," she said, "The tournament rules allow you to use anything you can to win but you have to try and not to kill each other sound fair?"

They both nodded.

"All right then…Begin!"

As soon as Haku got out of the way the Rain ninja charged at Shino. He was blocked by a wall of bugs and then was hit by a pillar of them in the stomach. The Rain ninja growled and clutched his stomach.

He stood back up and went through hand signs. "Earth Style: Earth Spike!"

As the Jutsu took effect a large spike shot out of the ground. Shino managed to dodge it easily but the Rain ninja ran up the side of it and punched Shino in the face nearly knocking off his sunglasses. Shino recovered quickly and grabbed his opponents arm and threw him onto the ground. As the Rain ninja got up Shino connected his heel with his stomach. The Rain ninja groaned and then his body fell limp.

"Winner Shino Aburame," Haku said getting cheers from the audience.

Shino's father stared down at him from the stands. After Shino got to the fighter booth he came down and looked at him.

"How did you do that?" he asked curiously. The Aburame clan had always had a weakness with Taijutsu and his son had pulled it off easily.

"Before the exams Naruto enhanced us with his dragon's power," Shin answered, "It gave us increased strength, stamina, chakra and gave us special abilities which were saving for when we need them."

The next match was called. Hinata vs. an female Iwa nin.

As they entered the arena the Iwa nin started mouthing off.

"You think your good enough for him?" she asked pointing at Naruto, "You just got lucky girl. When I'm done beating you into a pulp I'm going to take your man!"

Around that time the match was started. Hinata vanished and then appeared in front of her with a shining hand.

"Angel's Palm!" She cried slamming her palm into her opponents chest. The force of the blow sent the girl flying across the stadium and into the side of the wall. It was a miracle that she was still alive after that.

The next match was between Ino and a Kumo ninja.

The fight was relatively short. Ino just lifted him up with her Telekinesis and started slamming him into a wall. After three minutes of that Ino threw him into the air and with another telekinetic blast sent him flying out of the arena. Luckily he landed near the hospital. It was also fortunate that Shino's dad had told the other clan heads about the enhancements to their children. They were glad that Naruto had given his friends an edge.

Temari went up against a Kumo nin who said that when he beat her he was going to have a little fun with her. Her reaction was to form a twister in her hands an blow the guy into the wall and then she started sending blasts of air at him. Most of his ribs were broken and he was in terrible pain but that was the least of his problems. Later in his hospital room Gaara and Kankouro found him. He was never heard from again.

Shikamaru was put up against another female rain ninja. For some reason he was starting to get used to this. The girl started off by taking out a katana and trying to rend Shikamaru's head from his shoulders but Shikamaru formed a sword with his shadow and blocked it. He then made chains out of the other shadows around him and wrapped around her. He then jumped back and shot forward slamming the ball of his foot into her face sending her flying. If anyone had looked they would have seen that Temari had hearts in her eyes.

They next fight was supposed to be between Yugito and Hinata but Hinata withdrew.

"Why are you withdrawing?" Yugito asked Hinata as she left the arena.

"I don't want to fight Naruto again," Hinata answered, "besides Naruto wants too see what you can do."

With that finished the final match was called Yugito vs. Naruto.

As the two looked at each other Yugito gave Naruto a cat-like grin while Naruto gave her a fox-like grin.

As soon as the match started Yugito took out her whip and swung it. Naruto had managed to avoid it but it left a cut on his arm as he dodged it. Naruto leapt at her only for Yugito to get out of the way with cat-like agility. When she landed her eyes changed. The pupil was slit, the whites turned teal and her iris turned yellow.

"That must be the Hunter's Eye," Naruto said.

Yugito nodded and the eye suddenly had a red ring around it. Yugito saw Naruto only as a big blue outline. She saw certain parts of the body turn red. Those were the spots she had to hit. She pulled back her whip but Naruto beat her to the punch.

Going through hand signs he yelled, "Light Style: Flash Bomb!"

Naruto clapped his hands together and there was a bright flash of light. Yugito and all the others covered their eyes to avoid being blinded. When Yugito opened her eyes again Naruto was gone. The red ring around her eyes turned blue and she could see the heat signatures of everyone around her. She looked for Naruto but she couldn't find him.

"Earth Style: Rock Golem!"

Yugito reacted too late and a massive hand made of stone came out of the ground and wrapped its fingers around her. Then a massive creature made entirely of rock rose up from the ground with Yugito in it's grip.

Naruto stood on it's shoulder grinning like a cat that had eaten a canary. Yugito smiled then she started to radiate chakra. Ina sudden burst of blue chakra the golem was destroyed.

When the smoke cleared everyone saw a transformed Yugito. She was covered in armor like when Naruto transformed. The armor looked exactly like Naruto's it even had the v-shaped visor on it. The difference was that it was violet and the visor was blue.

She let out a feral snarl at Naruto who grinned. Naruto sealed Elyon's sword in the dragon tattoo and focused Kyuubi's chakra. In flash of red chakra Naruto was in his Kitsune armor form. He growled and got in a sword stance. Yugito held up her whip. The striking end straightened into a sword as she sent an electric current through it.

They both charged at each other meeting blow for blow for a few minutes until Naruto grabbed her by the arm.

"Lightning Style: Dark Thunder!" he growled.

Yugito screamed in pain as a sudden electrical surge was sent through her body. She managed to disconnect herself from Naruto. She was currently panting. Naruto felt the armor on his forearms and shins shift. They opened up and the weights on his arms and legs came off. Naruto moved at an even greater speed then before. He beat on Yugito until she lost consciousness.

As Naruto was declared the winner he knelt down next to her and whispered, "Dragon style: Healing flame."

A small flash of gold ran across her invisible to everyone else. She got up and dusted herself off.

In the Kage booth the Raikage was starting to have second thoughts on taking Yugito back. Even if they did manage to get past the surprising powerful ninja of this village and Minato they would still have to deal with Yugito's new strength and her powers. He decided that it wasn't worth it. He excused himself and took out a small radio.

"Abort mission," he whispered into it, "repeat abort mission. It is not worth getting killed over."

He sat down as the rank of Jounin was being given out. All the winners of their matches got the rank. Even though Hinata didn't win her match she was given the rank due to showing mercy to Yugito by withdrawing.

On the outside of the village the Kumo team had received the message. They were heading back to home while the two mysterious figures weren't going to give up easily. They managed to get a few of the Kumo ninja to stay and started their attack.

A large explosion rang out that got the attention of pretty much everyone who was there.

"Show time people," Minato yelled and he, the newly ranked Jounin, Itachi, and a lot of ANBU ran towards the sounds.

When they arrived they were greeted by a sight they never thought they'd see.

"Madara, and Pein," Minato growled.

The two individuals looked surprised.

"Minato?" Madara asked staring at the long thought dead man.

Pein didn't say anything. He just charged at Naruto, who had lost his armor after he won his fight. Pein intended to capture Naruto but was shocked when Naruto not only vanished but appeared behind him and slammed his foot into his back. Pein yelled out as he was struck.

"We'll take this guy. You and Itachi take the old man," Naruto yelled to his father.

Minato nodded as the new Jounin took of toward after pain.

"What are you doing here Madara?" Minato asked the old Uchiha.

"I have come for the Kyuubi and Nibi," Madara explained, "To use them so I can bring the destruction of fire country."

Minato got into a fighting stance and charged at the old man. The two met in grappling contest. It was even sided until Itachi came up and used his Sharingan to put Madara in a powerful genjutsu. Madara managed to get out of it with his own Sharingan but Minato came up with a Rasengan and sent him flying. Almost as soon as Minato eased up Madara burst from the rubble.

'I hope the kids are having better luck than I am,' Minato thought.

Meanwhile Pein was having a much harder time than he thought he would. Since he wasn't informed about what was going on with the Jounin exams he didn't know about the power ups the kids had gotten. He ended splitting himself up so he could take them on one on one. Ino crushed one with her Telekinesis, Shikamaru impaled on with shadow spikes, Hinata used her lance to impale one, Temari sucked the air out of ones lungs with a twister, Yugito just struck one with lightning, and Shino drained one of it's chakra using his bugs. That left Naruto against the real one.

"So what are you going to do boy," Pein asked.

"Something special I've been saving," Naruto answered.

Naruto focused Elyon's chakra into one hand and Kyuubi's into another. The result was a silver Rasengan and a red Rasengan. Naruto charge forward both Rasengans spinning and yelled, "Ying-Yang Rasengan!"

The colliding energies of both Rasengans tore Pein apart and resulted in a large explosion. When the smoke cleared Pein wasn't in sight and there was a large crater where he once stood. At that moment the copies of Pein screamed and died.

"Okay," Naruto said turning to his friends, "Let's go help my dad."

With Minato things could be going better. He was trapped in Sharingan genjutsu and was having trouble. Itachi was exhausted from chakra loss and was barely conscious. Madara laughed as he thought he was going to kill them both when he heard a sound like screaming. He turned to see Naruto forming a Rasenshuriken. Madara was thinking that it wouldn't have any effect when he noticed the red and silver chakra flowing into it and how it turned black.

Naruto drew back his arm and yelled, "Black RasenShuriken!"

Naruto let the move fly and it flew so fast that Madara couldn't dodge it. The move collided with him and there was a loud explosion. When the smoke cleared nothing of Madara was left. Minato smirked at his son and then collapsed. Naruto lifted up his father and carried him away to the hospital.

Meanwhile at another part of the village a certain Uchiha sat. He growled to himself as he thought through the past events. Naruto had made him look like a fool. He had lost all his power all his influence all his fan girls, though in all honest he was glad they were gone because he saw them as useless pains in the neck. Now Naruto was progressing through the ranks faster than he was. Sasuke growled. He would make Naruto pay but he had to get stronger first. Sasuke got up. His decision had been made.

So the Akatsuki are dead and Sasuke is planning something. You all know what happens next this story is almost over. Next chapter is the last. Bye!
