I don't own Naruto Kishimoto does
Naruto vs. His Friends Jonin Battles
The sunlight streamed through Sakura Haruno's window as she scrunched her eyes to keep the sunlight from her them as she reluctantly got up and looked around the room, she noticed that she was still in the same clothes from the other day. As she remembered the events she looked to the side over her bed and noticed it was empty. "Maybe Naruto coming home yesterday was just a dream" she thought sadly to herself. She was quickly brought out of herself loathing when a smell of bacon and eggs invaded her nostrils. She jumped out of bed quickly and changed into something more comfortable, when she finished changing she made her way to the kitchen. There in the kitchen was Naruto cooking food for her. Hey what took you so long to wake up Sakura we gotta hurry up and eat the fights are today and I'm excited to show everyone how much stronger I've become Naruto said with confidence evident in his voice. Don't get too cocky Naruto wait till you see how much stronger me and everyone else got Sakura said as she sat down too eat the food Naruto had cooked.
By the time the two had left the sun was shining as Naruto and Sakura made there way towards the chunin exams stadium. Hey Naruto I know you had it rough while training with Kakashi-sensei but what was it really like? Sakura asked, well too be honest it was almost as bad as the training with Pervy sage. He made me work till I couldn't feel my arms legs and all the strengthening exercises were hell, but I learned a lot of new ninjutsu and I also now have three affinities. Whoa really three Naruto that's pretty impressive, what are your affinities, Sakura asked with an innocent smile. I can't tell you Sakura its a surprise, Naruto responded causing Sakura to pout. When the two arrived in the stadium they saw that all of the seats in the stadium were full with civilians and shinobi alike who had wanted to see how much stronger Naruto had become, you two are finally here Tsunade said with a knowing smirk causing Naruto and Sakura to blush. Alright folks our hero's finally returned and today we all will witness how much more powerful he has become, Tsunade said causing the crowd to erupt into loud and excited cheers.
Naruto who would you like to go against first Tsunade said causing the Leaf eleven to get serious because they didn't know who Naruto would choose first. I want to go against Sakura first Naruto said. What! Sakura screamed clearly nervous about fighting Naruto, what Sakura ya scared Naruto said as he smirked. No I'm not shit-head Sakura exclaimed fuming. Alright the first battle has been decided it will be Naruto vs Sakura Tsunade said to the crowd as the other members of the Leaf eleven left the battle ground followed by Tsunade. Finally Naruto I get to show you how strong I've become Sakura said, while Sakura was talking Naruto flew through hand signs and released a a genjutsu on his weights and dropped them causing ten by ten holes in the ground and let a chakra burst that shook the whole stadium that got everyone wondering how strong is Naruto now. Sakura regained her composer as she charged knowing if she connects with him its over Naruto flew through hand signs and screamed fox style: fox eyes. As his jutsu came into focus he was able to read her chakra as soon as Sakura swung Naruto dodged and caught her wrist pulling her forward and kicked her legs from under her while twisting her wrist as she fell to the ground. Sakura was caught off guard as her body hit the ground and felt Naruto bend down and put a kunai to her neck. I won Sakura, Naruto said smugly as he let go of her wrist and removed the kunai he had at her neck. You got lucky Sakura said as she pouted. Tsunade appeared next to Naruto and Sakura as she announced Naruto was victorious. OK Naruto I'm gonna choose your next opponent and it will go by my rules. Fine Lady Tsunade choose Naruto replied. Naruto your next opponent will be Ten Ten, and no fox style jutsus can be used. Fine with me Lady Tsunade, Naruto said as Ten Ten jumped to the arena floor. You ready Naruto Ten Ten said, always am Ten Ten, Naruto said as he flew through hand signs causing lightning to form in his hands as he punched the ground yelling lightning style: izuchi.
Hes using that technique already what are you playing at Naruto, Kakashi said out loud. What do you mean that technique Kakashi Iruka and Tsunade asked? Izuchi the lightning ground technique is a jutsu that Naruto created to stop the movement of a enemy by making the ground into an electrified field stopping the enemy movement because they will be electrified by moving a mere inch paralyzing them rendering them unable to fight. What! Tsunade yelled at the top of her lungs. Ten Ten took out a scroll and released a flury of kunai at Naruto who swiftly dodge each one while charging towards Ten Ten who in fear moved back causing her legs to go numb from an electric change that came up from the ground, Ten Ten fell on to one knee as she desperately took out another scroll and yelled twin rising dragon as she forced chakra into her legs to jump catching Naruto of guard by this she caught him with a kunai that buried itself in his right leg forcing him to fall to one knee and pry out the kunai. Ten Ten smirked because she found out that even Naruto is able to get hurt as she saw him slowly rise to stand up she pulled out another scroll and as she unwound it her hand was grabbed by none other than Naruto who pulled her towards him and landed eight punches in rapid succession and finish with an axe kick that snapped her head down hard as she hit the ground, Tsunade jumped from the stands and checked Ten Ten out she was unconscious and Naruto was declared the winner.
Alright Naruto are you ready for your next battle? Tsunade said and Naruto just nodded as his opponent jumped from the crowd screaming about flames of eternal youth. Naruto it is my honor to finally face you in battle Lee said excitedly, yeah yeah Lee lets get this over with taijutsu only how bout it? Naruto said and Lee nodded as Naruto wrapped up his wound and stood up saying lets begin and Lee charged throwing a straight jab which Naruto blocked and landed a hard right to Lee's solar plexus knocking the wind out of Lee who stumbled back trying to regain air in his body but Naruto didn't let up land hit after hit on Lee. When Lee finally regained his air he dodged a hard left and countered with a hard uppercut on Naruto who stumbled back a was greeted with a hard kick to the mid-section forcing him back a feet as Lee charged Naruto, he analyzed Lee's movement and noticed Lee left an opening causing Naruto to capitalize on it with an axe-kick to the crevice between Lee's neck and shoulder knocking Lee out instantly. A roar of cheers was heard as Naruto won his third straight battle. Tsunade jumped down and told Naruto that his next battle wasn't going to be as easy as his others as she paired him against Shikamaru who was known for his strategies, yeah fine lets get going Naruto said as Shikamaru jumped into the arena to replace Lee. Naruto was relieved that he was able to use his fox style jutsu again as he watched Shikamaru launch a couple of shurriken at him he dodged it quickly and notice a shadow creeping up on him. He moves at an inhumane speed to dodge it and flew through hand signs yelling lightning style: lightning barrage jutsu as lightning bolts pelted the arena floor Shikamaru was forced back and caught in a lightning bolt and fell to the got up slowly to his feet and forfeited the match claiming it was to troublesome to go against Naruto thus declaring Naruto another victory.
Naruto do you want to take a rest before finishing your fights Tsunade said as she shown clear worry for his safety, Nah Lady Hokage I'm fine trust me I just want to finish these battles. As you wish Naruto you next challenger will be Yamato who smiled as he walked to the arena floor, Naruto had to smirk because he had always wanted to go toe to toe with Yamato. As soon as Tsunade said begin Naruto lept and took the offensive first by throwing kunai at Yamato who dodged them easily but was caught when Naruto landed a kick to his mid-section causing him to fall back. Yamato flew through hand signs and yelled wood style:wood cage jutsu catching Naruto in the cage to which Naruto smirked and also flew through hand signs and yelled fox style: claws of the fox jutsu smashing the cage to pieces and forcing Yamato to yell water style: water bullet jutsu as three water bullets flew at Naruto who swiftly dodged them and formed the shadow clone jutsu with the rasengan charging Yamato to catch him off guard at the clone who used the rasengan poofed out of existence giving Naruto the advantage and he quickly knocked Yamato out. The crowd roar into cheers again as Tsunade jumped down and declared Naruto the victor. Naruto your next battle will be with the bug master Shino are you prepared to fight? Tsunade asked, Naruto nodded as Shino jumped into the arena and charged Naruto head on trying to catch him off guard but was unsuccessful as Naruto appeared behind him kicking him in the back and launched him a few feet forward. Naruto knew close combat was not Shino's specialty as Shino was forced to stay on the defensive by the power Naruto was exhibiting, Shino finally got lucky when he saw an opening on Naruto that let him land a punch to Naruto's face. Shino quickly use his parasitic destruction technique but Naruto dodged it easily a formed hand signs yelling fox style: fox fist jutsu knocking Shino out quickly. Tch kids too strong for one on one Tsunade said while standing next to Kakashi who chuckled a little causing Tsunade to glare and say whats so funny? with and annoyed expression. Naruto is using half of his new found powers Lady Hokage your better off sending the rest of his competition at him at one time. Thats not a bad idea Kakashi, Tsunade said as she jumped down into the arena while Shino was being carried away.
Naruto are you still able to fight or do you want a rest because I have a surprise for you Tsunade said with a sadistic smirk I'm fine Lady Hokage just give me the surprise Naruto said. Fine you next battle will be You verse Ino, Kiba, Sai, and Neji Tsunade said causing Naruto to smirk and say this should be fun. The remaining five jumped into the battle ground ready to attack Naruto who stood there waiting for the signal to begin. AS soon as the signal was given Naruto charge at his first victim who happened to be Chouji who thought Naruto was going to come and attack head on so he blocked not knowing Naruto had disappeared only to reappear right behind him hitting him in the back of the head knocking him out instantly. Neji saw Naruto had his back turned so he tried to attack him from behind but missed as Naruto disappeared to attack him from behind. Neji was barely able to roll out of the way from Naruto in coming attack,Neji quickly got to his feet and blocked a punch Naruto aimed at his head and counter with his own punches which closed a few of Naruto's tenketsus in his right arm. Naruto lept back knowing his arm was useless for a few moment so he had to come up with a strategy to take Neji out and it was during this train of thought that Sai appeared on Narutos right attempting an ax-kick Naruto broke out of his thoughts and lept out of the way of the kick as Sai landed he again charged Naruto with a right jab connecting with Naruto's face and sending him stumbling back, Hinata also attacked while Naruto was trying to regain his composer landing a kick to Naruto's mid-section causing him to fall back a few feet and Ino also quickly capitalized on Naruto laying on the ground attempting a knee to Naruto's face but Naruto quickly rolled out the way and disappeared. Naruto reappeared to Hinatas right landing a hard kick to her mid-section causing her to asp for air before knocking her out. Sai was next on Narutos list as Naruto again disappeared and reappeared to Sai's left and landed a hard right to his face causing him to stumble back giving Naruto the momentum giving Naruto the time to form the chidori hitting Sai and knocking him out. Neji and Ino attacked Naruto at the same time forcing Naruto to block Neji right hook to his face but he wasn't able to block Ino's sweep of his legs causing him to fall back and Neji hitting him with a hard elbow to his ribs knocking the wind out him but the two were brought out of their self praising as Naruto disappeared and hit Neji with a hard right forcing Neji to stumble back and giving Naruto time to capitalize on Nejis stumbling to give him a hard left and then a hard knee to Neji's chin knocking him out instantly. Neji being eliminated left Ino in a one on one battle with Naruto who was now showing signs of in the stand Tsunade smirked as she saw the boy she considered her son put up amazing resistance in a five one one battle. Its over I don't think he will be able to pull a win in his condition Tsunade said. You'd be surprised Lady hokage I know Naruto he wouldn't give up easily even if he is exhausted Kakashi said, What do you mean look at him hes on one knee and is breathing heavily while Ino is not. Just Watch Lady Hokage Kakashi said. Naruto was on one knee while looking at Ino who was charging him head on he quickly staggered to his feet and dodged a left hook Ino sent at him and as he jumped backward Ino formed the hand-signs for her mind-body switch technique Naruto notices the hand signs and clumsily dodged the jutsu and propelled himself forward, when Ino opened her eyes she saw Naruto right on her and didn't have time to block the hard uppercut as it connected, she stumble back as Naruto formed a shadow clone that charge Ino causing her to block and not knowing it was a shadow clone she left herself open a Naruto landed a knee to her ribs knocking her out. The crowd soon erupted a\when Naruto won the fight, causing Tsunade to have a look of shock and Kakashi a knowing smirk on his face as he believed that Naruto could win the whole thing. Tsunade jumped into the arena as Ino was Carried off to congratulate Naruto. Congratulations Naruto on your victories today you have shown your amazing improvement, Tsunade said as Naruto nodded and thanked her. Sakura also jumped into the arena and grabbed Naruto into a hug and kissed him on the lips causing him to blush as the crowd cheered the kiss.
The reason Naruto won all the battles was because Naruto had his fox style: fox eyes jutsu which allows him to see chakra patterns in his opponents and also making it easier to read them.
