A/N: Yay another chapter. This one is kind of lengthy and there is more fighting than anything. This is my first fic so if my fight scenes don't make sense please leave a review telling me whats wrong with it and I'll try to fix it or do better on the upcoming fight scenes.
Guest: The Naruto made a truce with the annoying voice that he would kill people that are traitors to the leaf or people that aren't from the hidden leaf. Sorry if I didn't explain it well. Also he is getting older and is able to ignore the voice's thoughts now, he will only listen to it when he is out of control like if he is really angry or something.
Mudane: You're welcome. Thanks for reading.
bigmac11098: Yah, i never was good at english. I'll try to work on it though. About the cussing, I wanted to make Naruto seem like an orphan you know?

Chapter 11: The Competition Pt.2
Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze
Age:12
Rank: Genin
Next Day (Hospital)
Sasuke woke up in the morning feeling a lot better than he did the night before. The risky procedure worked and he felt like he was almost at 100%. He checked the time and noticed it was 10 AM. They were supposed to meet at Training Ground 13 at around 1pm, Sasuke decided he would eat brunch at like 11 or 12 so he wouldn't be hungry during the competition. Sasuke stood up and walked to the nurses desk to check himself out of the hospital. There was no orders to hold him there so he was free to go when ever he wanted.
Almost 1pm At Training Ground 13's Hidden ex Anbu training area
All of the rookies went to the training ground slightly early and just hung out while they waited for the Hokage and their jonin sensei. Everyone was hanging out and just talking except 2 people, Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura. Sasuke was sitting on the ground brooding and thinking what they have to do for today's round. Sakura on the other hand was deep in thought after her conversation last night with Naruto.
'Does Sasuke-kun really not like me? Is my attitude so bad that none of the other guys would want to ask me out on a date?' Sakura thought.
Sakura decided she would try to improve her attitude but she wasn't sure if she was ready to let go of Sasuke. Ino and her were rivals and if she gave up now then Ino might get him. She decided that she wouldn't get over him but she would work to be less annoying and less of a fangirl.
'Being a fangirl isn't the only way to show that you like someone right?' she thought.
Shortly after the Jonin sensei began flowing in and the Hokage came.
"Alright lets get the second round started." said Ebisu.
The hokage handed him a paper that said what the second round would be about.
"Ok so for the second round your team will be fighting against a jonin level shinobi. You will fight for 20 minutes unless you are able to incapacitate the enemy. We will be grading you based on your teamwork and not individual skills. The match ups will be Team 7 vs Namiashi Raido, Team 8 vs Hatake Kakashi, Team 10 vs Yuhi Kurenai, and Team 13 vs Sarutobi Asuma."
For the first fight it was Team 7 vs Raido. During the fights the remaining genin were not allowed to watch so they just hung out outside.
Raido vs Team 7
Team 7 got into their standard formation, which was Sasuke in the front Sakura slightly behind him to his left and Shinin slightly behind him to his right. Raido was just standing there kicking up dust. Team 7 decided to make their move and withdrew shuriken in both hands and let it rain on the tokubetsu jonin. Raido whipped out a sword similar to the one he uses normally that was blunted and had no poison. He blocked all the shuriken headed in his direction with marvelous speed and put the blade back into its sheath. He didn't get much rest when Shinin and Sasuke ran at him with Kunai drawn. He effortlessly dodged all their swipes and kicked Shinin in to the tree. Sasuke threw shuriken at him before trying to engage again with a kunai. Sasuke received long range support from Sakura as she chucked kunai one at a time with great accuracy. Raido was unable to dodge Sasuke and the kunai Sakura was throwing at him at the same time so he was forced to pull out his blunted blade one more time. He quickly blocked the kunai and smacked Sasuke's kunai out of his hand. Sasuke reached into his kunai holder and withdrew another kunai knife. Shinin was back in the fight as he created 4 bunshins using the academy bunshin no jutsu and he and his clones ran at Raido with Sasuke. Raido was a tokubetsu jonin so he knew how to distinguish a standard bunshin from the real person. He didn't even know why that jutsu was created, it was completely useless. Raido quickly dispelled all of the bunshin and smacked Sasuke and Shinin around a few times while blocking Sakura's accurate kunai throws.
"Cmon you have to be able to do more than that."
Sasuke told Shinin to engage on Raido. Shinin engaged Raido while Sasuke began making seals. When Sasuke whistled Shinin jumped back.
Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu
A large fireball made its way toward Raido, Raido simply dodged it but a few shuriken and kunai were headed in his new location. He pulled out his sword and blocked them again. Before he landed he caught a glimpse of something moving to his position. When he landed Shinin engaged him into a Taijutsu match. Shinin ran up and tried to combo Raido with a Left straight into right straight into a left hook but he was unable to land any punches and ate an elbow to the face for his troubles. Sasuke jumped in the taijutsu fight to make it a 2v1. Raido had very little chances to counter since there were two people instead of one. Raido saw his opening when he grabbed Sasuke's left wrist with his right hand when Sasuke tried to nail him with a left hook. He also grabbed Shinin's right arm with his left hand when Shinin threw a right straight. He then redirected Sasuke's hook into Shinin's jaw then pushed them together before kicking them back.
Sakura couldn't help but feel useless, she was providing long range support but all she had for long range was her projectiles, she also couldn't throw a shit load of them since she would probably hit one of her teammates. She occasionally tried to put a genjutsu on the man but her low level techniques were dispelled almost instantly. Kakashi tried to teach Sakura some jutsu but her chakra pool was too small and he wasn't able to expand it enough in the 2 months to get her ready to perform the low level jutsu he knew. Sakura knew she could have tried to engage in taijutsu but she still used the academy style and she was very weak compared to her teammates.
Shinin and Sasuke kept trying to team up on Raido but they weren't even able to land a hit on him. Sasuke was so angry that a person could just toy with them like Raido did. He blamed his teammates because he felt they were weak and he was strong. He was especially angry at Sakura, the girl did almost nothing except throw the occasional kunai. He didn't expect much from her but he wished she could actually do something.
Raido was surprised the kids he were fighting against weren't able to do much. Kakashi had a legendary reputation in the Leaf and his students sucked ass. The only one with any talent what so ever was the Uchiha. The other kid wasn't bad but he wasn't good either, he had potential if he was taught a better taijutsu style since his didn't suit him at all. The pink haired girl in the back was almost useless, she was providing long range support by using the occasional kunai throw and low level genjutsu. He wasn't sure if Kakashi wasn't teaching the kids as much as they were or if the girl didn't have much talents in the ninjutsu or taijutsu department since she wouldn't even try to get close to him.
20 minutes eventually passed and the Hokage finished calculating the score but he would wait till they finished watching everyone before revealing the scores.
Kakashi vs Team 8
Kakashi was standing there reading his porn when Kiba recognized the book. Kiba made a Jūjin Bunshin (Beast clone) before asking him a question.
"Hey isn't that Icha Icha Paradise?"
"You've heard of it?"
"I love that book! When ever I hear Jiraya-sama is back in town I try to find him to get my books signed."
"I never knew kids your age read this."
"I tried to get Naruto into it book but he said reading porn is beneath him."
"He is missing out."
"I agree."
Team 8 made the first move when Kiba and Akamaru used the Gatsūga and tried to hit Kakashi. Kakashi thought this was very straightforward and grabbed Kiba and his Jūjin Bunshin in mid air when they got near him. Kakashi didn't realize that while they were talking about his pornographic book that Shino was loading up the inside of Kiba and Akamaru's jacket with Kikaichū bugs. When Kakashi grabbed the two Kiba's he was being swarmed by Kikaichū bugs. Although Kakashi was able to get with a simple kawarimi he was impressed with the teamwork of Team 8 so far. Kakashi didn't have too much time to think before the young Hyuuga heiress and Kiba engaged him with Taijutsu while the Aburame was trying to get his Kikaichū bugs behind Kakashi. Kakashi was able to dodge all of Kiba's claw swipes and Hinata's deadly finger tips. Kakashi had to keep looking behind him while fighting since he didn't want to get swarmed by Kikaichū bugs. Kakashi noticed that the Kikaichū decided to back off for some reason so he didn't have to move so much. He then suddenly felt like something was absorbing his chakra from some where. When he looked at his legs there were Kikaichū bugs on them, he had no idea where they came from.
Shino's POV
'Is this plan really going to work?' Hmm Kakashi-sensei seems really distracted right now I bet he didn't even see me put the bugs inside Kiba's jacket.'
'I can't believe that actually worked, Maybe I should put some bugs inside Hinata's jacket as well so when they go to fight using taijutsu I can distract him with my large swarm while he doesn't notice the small amount of Kikaichū which slowly pour out of Hinata and Kiba's sleeves when he turns around.
End Shino's POV
Kakashi knew he would be in trouble if he didn't remove the insects from his leg. He shunshined a couple of meters away to have time to swat off the insects. After he successfully swatted off all the insects he was ready to get back into the fight. Normally he could defeat all three of the genin easily without a sweat but the hokage ordered the jonin to fight defensively all the time. The only time Kakashi could try to hit them was when they were attacking him. He also noticed the way Hinata and Kiba were fighting together, they were covering each others openings.
'If they use this kind of teamwork against another genin team I would be pretty confident that they could win.' thought Kakashi.
As time passed Team 8 was able to surprise Kakashi with some of their teamwork. At the end of the spar he complemented their teamwork and they explained that It was all Kurenai. The hokage tallied their score and told them to wait till he got everyone's score.
Kurenai vs Team 10
Kurenai was surprised that they chose her to evaluate a genin team. She was very bad when fighting by herself, in fact she never takes solo missions because she knows that she is very vulnerable by herself. She considers her self more of a supporty long range fighter more than anything. She is pretty quick which helps a little when she ends up in close range but she is pretty weak strength wise and stamina wise so taijutsu is not well suited for her. She has good chakra control which helps her ninjutsu a little bit but her low chakra reserves prevent her from using too much ninjutsu. The main way Kurenai fights is using genjutsu to hold an opponent down and kill them or have an ally kill the enemy. When she tested her genin team there was no actual fighting involved but they had to search for an item she hit with genjutsu. This would be her first time in a while to fight alone.
Team 10 and Kurenai were having a stare off before Team 10 realized Kurenai had no plans on engaging. Ino knew that she couldn't open the fight using her Shintenshin no Jutsu(Mind Body Switch) because if she missed she would be out of commision for 10 seconds. Also if she opened with it and missed she would look bad in front of the Hokage. The standard Ino-Shika-Cho combo would normally start out with Chouji and Shikamaru working together to lock down a target for Ino to mind swich with then trap the person. Chouji used his Baika no Jutsu(Multi-Size) and turned himself into a giant ball. He then tucked in his head and limbs and used the Nikudan Sensha(Human Bullet Tank) to spin rapidly and shot forward trying to zone Kurenai into a bad spot for Shikamaru's Kagemane no Jutsu(Shadow Imitation). Kurenai had known about the legendary teamwork of the Ino-Shika-Cho of the previous generation. She knew that If she were facing the previous generation she would already have been caught since they fully mastered their family techniques. This generation was barely starting on their techniques so she knew that she would have a lot more leeway. She knew that Ino was probably still working on the basic technique of the Yamanaka, which was the Shintenshin no Jutsu(Mind body switch) which means that for her to be successful she either has to catch her with amazing aim or hold her down long enough for her to get the shot. This basically took out Ino as a threat since she knew that neither Chouji or Shikamaru would have a chance of catching her. As Chouji barreled towards her she put him in a small genjutsu that made him think she was a few meters to the right. Ino and Shikamaru saw Chouji miss completely and Ino started yelling at her teammate.
"How did you miss her? You Fatass, she didn't even move!"
Shikamaru on the other hand knew, Chouji never misses unless the opponent moves. He then remembered hearing something on the streets about Kurenai.
Flashback
"Did you hear the Genjutsu Mistress Kurenai finally got promoted to Jonin." said one of the tokubetsu jonin.
"It's about time. She is amazing at genjutsu, she was tokubetsu jonin for a while since her abilities in ninjutsu were almost nonexistent." said the other one.
"She is very talented, I asked her to put me under a genjutsu once and I never even felt I was under a genjutsu. I didn't even feel chakra try to invade my mind. I only noticed I was under a genjutsu when she dispelled it."
"Wow, but Genjutsu in my opinion is a dying fighting style, what happens if she fights a person who can't be put under genjutsu?"
"Thats why she was a tokubetsu jonin for the longest time, she had no abilities in anything else. I assume she must have fixed the things hindering her."
End Flashback
'That's it, she must have used some sort of disorienting genjutsu on Chouji. I have an idea, I will use my Shadow imitation jutsu to move him slightly when he is about to plow into her causing her to not expect the sudden change in trajectory and she might get nailed.'
"Chouji you missed! You need to redeem yourself now and hit her." Shikamaru said after throwing shuriken at Kurenai and jumping for ward.
Shikamaru did the rat hand seal and kept his shadow in between Kurenai and Chouji pretending not to have the range. It looked very convincing because it was actually the max range for the jutsu unless he pumped a lot of chakra into it to lengthen it for a short period. He was going to do this at the last second to trick Kurenai.
"I won't miss this time, or if I do miss I won't be completely off."
"Ino, be ready. Chouji and I will try to make an opening for you."
Chouji started barreling towards Kurenai again. She used her distortion genjutsu on him again and right before he was about to miss her(5 meters away) Shikamaru connected with Chouji with his shadow and did a quick barrel roll to the left. This caused the Chouji to change the trajectory to the left slightly. Kurenai didn't see it comming and was forced to Kawarimi with a leaf or get hit head on by the Akimichi.
"Great job there Shikamaru, you wasted a lot of my chakra on that Kawarimi."
Kurenai was impressed, she thought that the Nara's shadow was maxed out and couldn't reach her. Not only did they waste her chakra she almost got hit by the tank head on. Kurenai knew that the previous Ino-Shika-Cho combo had deadly combinations but she didn't expect these fresh out of the academy Genin to pull something that would force her to Kawarimi. Unlike her fellow Jonin sensei Kurenai's chakra pool was miniscule compared to them, that Kawarimi she used cost her 1/4 of her chakra pool because of how small the item she used to Kawarimi with. But now that she saw that strategy they won't be able to use it again. Kurenai knew that she not only had to put a Genjutsu on Chouji but on Shikamaru as well.
"Shika I have an idea. Do that thing again."
"She already saw it, it wont work."
"Trust me on this."
"Alright Chouji, you heard the troublesome woman. Again!"
Chouji barreled toward Kurenai again but she smirked since she had both Chouji and Shikamaru under Genjutsu. She always liked dodging this by a narrow margin because it required the least amount of chakra. If she were to disorient them more then she would have to use even more chakra. She stood confidently because she knew that Ino wouldn't be able to do anything since most Yamanaka clan members mainly used only clan jutsu. She looked away from Ino for a second and that was a costly mistake. Ino flashed through a few hand-signs and slammed her hands on the ground.
Doton: Ganseki tenohira(Rock Palm)
Kurenai saw Ino slam her hands on the ground but didn't notice anything happen. She assumed that the girl got frustrated because their plans were thwarted by her genjutsu. As Chouji's ball was nearing her position a rock palm the size of her body came out of nowhere and pushed her into Chouji's Human Bullet Tank. Kurenai had sustained a pretty big amount of damage from the rock palm pushing her into Chouji.
"Nice strategy Ino, I didn't know you had an affinity for earth. I didn't know your clan allowed you to do elemental ninjutsu." complemented Kurenai.
Shikamaru tried to grab the woman's shadow as she talked but Kurenai had enough energy to still move. After seeing that Ino could perform jutsu like the Rock palm Kurenai stopped underestimating them. She was able to better dodge most of the abilities afterwards and made it to the time limit. She talked to Team 10 after the fight and said that they had performed some strategies that she never thought of and said they did a great job. The Hokage was glad there was only one more fight he had to score and it was the fight he was looking most forward to see. He wanted to see how well Naruto and his Orphanage friends could work together since they knew each other for a while.
Asuma vs Team 13
Asuma knew he probably got one of the hardest teams to fight against because he knew that Naruto was was very proficient in Doton.(He only saw him practicing Earth Jutsu) He also knew the boy was taught by his old friend Kakashi so the boy had to be good if he had private tutoring.
When the Hokage said he was ready to see the fight they immediately burst into action unlike the other teams. Naruto dashed up the Asuma throwing a right straight into left hook which was both blocked by Asuma who tried to counter with a right straight which Naruto ducked under. Naruto threw a left kick to Asuma's leg and threw down a smoke bomb before creating a shadow clone and jumping back and flashing through hand seals. The moment Naruto threw down his smoke bomb his whole team did hand seals.
While they were doing their hand seal's the shadow clone was trying to keep Asuma distracted so he wouldn't notice the surge of chakra in front of him.
Suiton: Suidan no Jutsu(Water bullet)
Raiton: Inazuma(Lightning bolt)
Fūton: Daitoppa(Great Breakthrough)
The water stream collided with the lightning bolt electrifying the water stream as the wind jutsu increased the speed of the water stream by at least 3 times. The stream of water powered by wind flew towards the cloud of smoke. The wind came first and blew away all the smoke while the electrified wind powered water blast slammed into Asuma. Asuma was blasted through several trees and on top of that was paralyzed by the lighting coursing through his body. Naruto and his team walked up to him and put a kunai to his neck. Asuma smirked and poofed away.
"Kage bunshin."
"I'm over here guys you missed." yelled Asuma.
"That was a pretty powerful collaboration attack though. And Naruto why didn't you tell me you had an affinity for wind? I could have helped you."
"Asuma-sensei I was looking for you ever since that day you taught me how to channel chakra into weapons, but I never did see you. Until you picked up your genin team."
"Oh, I'm usually at the jonin bar or hanging out with the other Jonin."
"Kenji, try to land a lighting attack on him while me and Ami distract him. If you are able to paralyze him I can trap with my jutsu."
Ami pulled out multiple shuriken and threw them at Asuma.
Shuriken Kage Bunshin
The shuriken multiplied and rained down where Asuma's previous location was. Asuma thought he was safe until Naruto engaged him from the side. Naruto threw punches like a machine gun but Asuma was a Jonin and he was able to block each strike but didn't have enough time to counter. Naruto had an idea and created 10 shadow clones to help him fight. They all charged at Asuma at the same time and he dispelled them all with his trench knives.
"Oh it's that serious now?" said Naruto.
"Yep, I hear you like to use a very uncommon weapon. Care to show me?"
"Alright."
Naruto unsealed his Sairentoburēdo and charged at Asuma. The blades met and both men looked each other in the eye. Asuma noticed that Naruto's fighting style with his weapon wasn't made for brawling since it lacked power, he did notice the speed and realized the fighting style was more for assasination than brawling. They didn't have much time since Asuma pulled away and jumped back to avoid the incoming water bullet. Naruto quickly threw multiple barrages at Asuma's position and to where he was moving. Asuma was forced to Kawarimi because he had no choice. Kenji felt a chakra surge to the left of him and performed hand seals really quickly.
Raiton: Inazuma
A bolt of lighting was fired into the trees and Kenji heard something fall to the ground.
"I hit something."
"I'll send a Kage Bunshin to check it out. Keep your eyes open, I don't think that is enough to take him down."
Naruto sent a Kage Bunshin to check on whatever Kenji hit with his lightning bolt. When the clone found it and dispelled Naruto knew they got tricked.
"He used Kawarimi again, I wonder where he is this time."
"Naruto-taichou why don't you just level the area?"
"Good idea. Be careful and don't get hurt."
Doton: Retsudo Tenshō(Tearing Earth Turning Palm)
When Naruto slammed his hands on the ground the earth around him in a half mile radius was pulverized and all the trees were unrooted and fell over. Ami and Kenji had to use chakra to jump high into the air to not be affected by the jutsu.
Outside the Training Area
The other genin who were waiting on Naruto's team to finish were hanging out. Kiba, Shino, Hinata, Ino, Sakura, and Shinin were talking about how they performed in the last round. Sasuke was sitting on the ground brooding and Shikamaru and Chouji were lying down looking at the sky while Chouji ate his chips.
"I think our team did pretty well, we had Kakashi-sensei and he said he was quite impressed with us." said Kiba.
"Oh yah? I was able to land a hit on Kurenai-sensei." said Ino smugly.
"Really? Y-you l-landed a hit on K-Kurenai-sensei?" said Hinata.
"That is quite surprising. Although Kurenai-sensei is one of the newer Jonin she is still quite strong." said Shino.
"Yep, It was my strategy and jutsu which caused her to get hit and take a big deal of damage."
"No way, Our team only got Kakashi-sensei to Kawarimi like twice." said Kiba.
"I know, I'm really good right. So forehead how did you guys do?"
"We didn't do so good, I was doing long range support but all I could do was throw the occasional Kunai since I didn't want to hit Sasuke-kun or Shinin."
"And when we tried to fight Raido-sensei in taijutsu he countered all of our attacks. Sakura and I didn't have any jutsu that would work well together so we didn't do so hot." said Shinin.
Ino walked over to Sasuke.
"Sasuke-kun I landed a hit on Kurenai-sensei."
"Hn."
Ino humphed and muttered something before walking away.
"You are just jealous I was able to get a hit on a jonin."
As Ino was walking back to talk with her group of friends they felt the ground shake.
"What was that?" asked Kiba.
"No idea." said Shinin.
Back to the Fight
Naruto, Ami, and Kenji were looking for Asuma since he had not appeared yet. They were scared they killed him on accident. After a few seconds they saw a log get pushed off and Asuma stood up.
"Ow Naruto was that really necessary?"
"Sorry Asuma-sensei I didn't know where you went so I took down the trees to see better."
"Troublesome."
"You have been spending too much time with Shikamaru."
Asuma smirked for a second then raised his trench knives up.
"Hey guys I have an idea. Lets keep putting him in situations where he has to use the Kawarimi or Shunshin so his chakra will get drained."
Naruto dashed up to Asuma and engaged him with his Sairentoburēdo. While they were fighting he would try to make a shadow clone or two when he had the time. Asuma was blocking all Naruto's strikes and countering them some times. Asuma was being pushed back by the Naruto and his clones. Asuma was about to block a strike until he jumped back and did a few flips backwards to dodge a lighting bolt from Kenji. As he was doing flips he noticed that a ton of shuriken were headed towards him so he Shunshined to dodge it.
"Man, you guys aren't making this easy."
"Nope."
Naruto changed strategies and sent clones and Kenji to engage Asuma.
Kenji pulled out his tanto and his larger than normal kunai knife and ran towards Asuma.
"Enlarged Kunai? They still make those?"
"No my adoptive father gave it to me who got it from his father."
"Oh that makes sense then, I would reccomend you get another blade instead of that Kunai, those are way outdated."
"I use it to honor my adoptive grandfather."
Kenji and Asuma went at it. Kenji tried to get a few hits on Asuma but Asuma was very experienced in fighting at close range with his trench knives. Even with the help from Naruto's clones Kenji wasn't faring so well. Asuma was constantly dispelling Naruto's clones while blocking Kenji's strikes. Asuma then felt something was off, Kenji and Naruto's clones weren't fight as hard as before. He was sure it wasn't exhaustion since they've only been fighting for like 5 minutes. A pair of hands suddenly grabbed Asuma's legs and pulled him underground forcing him to use a Kawarimi to get out. Asuma at this point was panting since he had used the Kawarimi many times and his chakra was running out.
Naruto created 5 clones and had them perform hand seals. He had a plan to force Asuma to use all of his chakra so they could have an easier time of catching him. He decided used his favorite Earth trap jutsu every time Asuma would stand still to force his Kawarimi.
Doton: Sekichū torappu(stone pillar trap)
5 Stone pillars came out of the ground and trapped the Jonin inside. He looked around and used the Kawarimi with a nearby leaf and panted harder.
'This isn't good. My chakra is starting to run out. A person shouldn't be using a Kawarimi this much.'
After he successfully got away from the trap he was being barraged by shuriken and being chased by an army of blondes and one green haired kid. He knew he shouldn't try to be stationary because he could get caught by that earth jutsu again. He eventually had to turn and fight the people chasing after him because someone kept throwing jutsu in front of him forcing him to stop moving for a second allowing the people chasing him chances to catch up. After running for a while Asuma was exhausted. He couldn't do this anymore, he got caught by the stone pillar trap twice more and his chakra was basically gone. He didn't want to be the only jonin who got successfully captured by the Genin today. He felt the earth rumble below him, he quickly dived to the side avoiding the rock trap as he was getting up he noticed that he only had 3 minutes left. In the next 3 minutes Asuma with willpower alone dodged all the jutsu they threw at him, dodged all the projectiles, and deflected all of the attacks they tried to hit him with. As soon as the time ran out Asuma walked over to the nearby bench the Hokage was sitting on and lied down and fell asleep.
The Hokage called in all the genin to tell themt he results.
Outside the Training Area
"Alright you guys can come in now." said the Hokage.
"Finally, now we get to find out who has the best teamwork." said Kiba.
When the genin and jonin walked into the training area they had the look of shock in their faces.
"W-what happened here?" asked Ino.
They looked around and saw a part of the field was completely leveled and all the trees were unrooted and on the ground. The genin and Kurenai were shocked since they had no idea a genin could be capable of the destruction they are seeing in front of them. Sasuke was pissed since he was sure it was Naruto who did that. He hated how no matter what he did he couldn't catch up with the blonde.
'What does he have that I don't? I am an Uchiha damn it! He is just some clanless orphan who nobody cares for. I must have his power, I will be one step closer to catching up with Itachi if I can beat him.'
After a little while the Hokage called over all the Genin and Jonin sensei to give them the results of the round.
Team 7: 6
Team 8: 8
Team 10: 9
Team 13: 9
The jonin sensei weren't surprised at the scores since they knew how their team's teamwork was before the competition.
"For the Third round it will not be a team competition. It will be a smaller version of the Konoha's Third exam for the Chunin exams. Although we consistantly change the first exam for the Chunin exams we have always kept the third round the same. As we walk around with the box I would like each one of you to grab one of the papers. It will determine who you face off against first."
They handed out the papers and the Hokage told them to open it and tell him the numbers they got.
"1" said Sasuke.
"2" said Shino.
"3" said Shinin.
"4" said Kenji.
"5" said Ino.
"6" said Sakura.
"7" said Ami.
"8" said Hinata.
"9" said Kiba.
"10" said Shikamaru.
"11" said Chouji.
"12" said Naruto.
"The match ups will be Sasuke vs Shino, Shinin vs Kenji, Ino vs Sakura, Ami vs Hinata, Kiba vs Shikamaru, and Chouji vs Naruto. You will have 1 week to prepare."
The genin met up with their Jonin sensei to see what they will do for the next week.
Training Area 26
"You guys are probably wondering what our plans are for you for the next week." said Genma.
"Hai." said all 3 genin.
"Luckily you guys have 3 sensei so it will be no problem." said Aoba.
"Anyways Kenji you will be with me. Ami will be with Aoba and Naruto will be with Genma."
"Any questions before we release you?"
There was no response which meant no.
"Ok everyday for training you three will meet here for physical training and we will break up to train ninjutsu."
1 Week Later
Training Area 13 ex Anbu Training Area
"Today is the final round of our competition. The score you get now will be added with the score you have gotten from your team and the team with the highest average score will win the prize."
Sasuke vs Shino
"Shino you should just surrender you know I will beat you."
"The past is set in stone but the future has not yet been written."
"Alright you wanted it this way Aburame."
Sasuke dashed forward trying to close the gap between him and Shino as fast as possible. Sasuke aimed a left straight towards Shino's face. Shino dodged to the right but was met with Sasuke's right hook which hurt Shino. Sasuke wasn't done yet and threw another punch at the Aburame but was blocked by his kikaichū bugs. Sasuke felt the chakra leave his body and remembered that Aburame insects can suck away chakra. He backed up for a bit to formulate a new strategy. Shino signaled his kikaichū bugs to leave his body and they formed a giant black cloud over him. He sent half of his bugs to attack Sasuke. Sasuke saw that Shino sent half of his bugs to attack him so he ran sideways to get a view of Shino. After he got a good view he threw multiple kunai and shuriken at him which got blocked by a wall of kikaichū. Sasuke knew the insects were dangerous but if he can get to shino and knock him out he won't be able to control his insects. While he was thinking he didn't notice that he almost got surrounded. There were too many bugs, he would have to do something about that.
Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu
Sasuke instead of firing a fireball opted to shoot out a stream of flames instead of the fireball. Half of Shino's insects were burned. Sasuke knew that he now could beat Shino because he took out a large amount of Shino's insects. He rushed forward while throwing shuriken and kunai at Shino. When he got close the did a small amount of hand signs.
Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu
Sasuke only used a small amount of chakra since he only wanted to burn a hole through the shield of insects. He burnt through the wall and kept running towards the insect user. Shino looked shocked since he had never seen someone run through his wall of insects before and froze. Sasuke kicked Shino with a side kick to the gut and side kick to the face. Sasuke was wondering what was going on when he felt his foot being sucked in by Shino's face. He then felt his chakra leave him.
'It's an Mushi Bunshin(Insect clone)!"
Sasuke knew he had to get out of there and fast before his chakra got sucked up. He kicked his right leg up really hard which caused the Mushi Bunshin to dispel and turn into insects. He then did a few back flips to get a good distance away from the insects. As he landed he felt a sharp pain in his side and saw Shino's fist buried in his kidney. He did a spinning elbow which Shino dodged by ducking. He began to attack Shino and started winning the Taijutsu battle but he noticed that his chakra was being sucked away for some unknown reason. He looked at Shino and he saw that he had the tiniest smile on his face. He jumped back a few feet and started looking if there was any insects on his clothing, after searching he found nothing but he could still feel the chakra being drained but It was very slow. Sasuke ripped off his shirt which caused mixed reactions to the crowd. Sasuke brushed off the small amounts of kikaichū from his torso and stood there to see if he still felt a drain on his chakra.
Crowd
When Sasuke took off his shirt everyone gasped and there were different reactions. Sakura blushed but kept staring, Hinata chuckled before looking away, Ino looked at him not knowing what was going on, Ami,Naruto,Kiba,Kenji,and Chouji burst into laughter.
"Did he just take off his shirt?" said Kiba.
"He doesn't work out much does he." said Naruto.
"Yah he looks kind of thin, Hey! Sasuke! you should eat once in a while man!" said Kenji.
They saw Sasuke tense when Kenji called him thin.
"Hahahaha I wish I could stand up to Sasuke like that." said Shinin.
"Sure you can, what are you afraid of? Look at him, no muscle whatsoever." said Naruto.
When he said this everyone except Sakura chuckled.
"Hey! Sasuke's body is just fine the way it is, You guys are still wearing your shirts how do we not know that you look like him?"
"You want us to take off our shirts too? Alright, lets do this guys." said Naruto while taking off his top.
Kiba, Kenji, and Shinin also took off their shirts or what ever they were wearing on top. The girls who were there started blushing furiously and the Jonin sensei were face palming. Naruto had the most toned body among the guys since he has been doing a lot of physical workouts from his Jonin sensei and by himself during the weekends. Kiba's body was also pretty toned because of his practice with his family jutsu and his family taijutsu style. Kenji's body was only a little less toned than Kiba's because of Team 13's physical exercises. Shinin was slightly bigger than Sasuke but by not that much. Chouji refused to take his shirt off since he was insecure because he was chubby. Shikamaru thought it was too troublesome to take off his shirt when he was lying down.
"Naruto-kun, why have you been hiding that?" said Ami.
Hinata eventually fell over with a grin and a slight nosebleed.
"Naruto-kun you know it is selfish to keep good things hidden for yourself." said Ino.
"What the hell Ino! I thought you liked Sasuke-kun." said Sakura.
"I do like Sasuke! I'm just admiring this piece of work, don't tell me you weren't admiring it because I saw you."
"Shut up!"
"Well since you saw our upper body can we see yours?" said Kiba which caused the 3 conscious females to beat the living hell out of him.
Back to the Fight
Sasuke was certain that there were no more insects stuck on his body so he charged at Shino again. He was about to hit Shino when an insect wall formed right in front of him and he almost ran straight into it. He jumped back a few feet and did his favorite jutsu.
Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu
As the bugs burned Sasuke smirked since he knew that Shino would run out of bugs before he would run out of chakra.
Shino on the other hand cursed that he had to fight Uchiha Sasuke on the first round, his plans of the bugs surrounding him and sucking his chakra failed because of that damned fire jutsu. He knew if this kept going he would have to surrender because losing his entire hive was not worth winning a battle that didn't really matter.
While Shino blanked out for a second Sasuke dashed forward and tried to punch Shino in the face. Shino ducked but was met with a uppercut and was massaging his face. Sasuke was not yet done as he dashed and tried to hit Shino with a right head kick that was blocked by Shino's left arm. Although Shino did block the kick he still felt the force behind it. Sasuke then did a jumping axe kick which was blocked by Shino with 2 hands then jumped up and kick Shino's chest with his avaliable leg.
Shino is normally a mid range fighter who uses his insects to fight most of his battles. He trained in taijutsu to help in fighting close quarters but he is only average at Taijutsu compared to Sasuke who is quite good at Taijutsu. He knew he was at a huge disadvantage because if he used his bugs Sasuke would simply burn them but if he used Taijutsu he was still outclassed in that department.
"I surrender, I cannot win this battle without losing a great majority of my hive." said Shino.
"The winner is Uchiha Sasuke."
Shinin vs Kenji
Both boys looked at each other and bowed, they had become friends over the last few months and respected each other but they have never fought each other before.
"I don't think we have ever sparred before." said Shinin.
"Yah, Well let the best man win."
Both dashed forward engaging each other in a vicious battle of Taijutsu. It was obvious that Kenji had the advantage in strength but Shinin was faster than him which even things out a bit. The two guys were going at it blow for blow dodging if they could but tanking most of the hits. After a short while Shinin fell over because the power in Kenji's punches eventually did their job and damaged him. Shinin backed off, he couldn't fight him in Taijutsu but he didn't know any ninjutsu other than the academy ninjutsu. He decided to try to fight using weapons as he pulled out 3 kunai knives one for each hand and one in his mouth. Kenji was glad that he could use his weapons again and pulled out his tanto and the large kunai knife. They both ran at each other and started swinging. After a few seconds of fighting it was obvious that Shinin was outclassed by Kenji. Kenji was stronger than him and more proficient in weapons which allowed Kenji to hit Shinin multiple times with the blunt edges.
"I surrender, he totally outclasses me I didn't stand a chance." said Shinin.
"It's fine man, just train harder. You'll get strong eventually." said Kenji.
Sasuke was watching from the sidelines and wondering how Kenji was able to beat his teammate so badly, his teammate was average in power since he came from no clan but Kenji was just like his teammate but was a lot stronger. He then wondered if their sensei was simply better than his.
Ino vs Sakura
Ino stared at her friend and rival. Sakura started back at her with intensity.
'I have to win to get Sasuke's attention.'
They both whipped out shuriken and threw them at each other. As the shuriken was flying at them they both reached for 2 kunai knives and began deflecting each shuriken. Sakura saw that using shuriken would get her nowhere so she tried her hand at ninjutsu.
Bushin no Jutsu
Sakura made 3 well made Bushins and ran in a zig zag pattern to get Ino confused. Sadly her plan didn't work as Ino threw 4 Kunai one for each of the Sakuras that she was seeing. The three bunshins got dispelled and it was just Sakura. Ino engaged on her with her kunai knife. Both girls were giving it their all, sadly Sakura had not undergone the same training as Ino did and she was a bit weaker so she was getting pushed back by Ino's new strength. Sakura decided to throw her kunai at Ino to show that she wanted to go fight in hand to hand combat. Ino blocked Sakura's kunai and put her back in her kunai holder. They both ran at each other and began the taijutsu match. Sakura threw a right straight which was blocked by Ino's left arm and threw her own right straight right into Sakura's face. The blow caused her head to snap back a bit but Ino was not yet done with her and followed up with a Superman punch on her face again which rocked her. Sakura was having a hard time standing straight because of the blows to her head so she put her arms up to defend. Ino used this to lay the pain on her body with multiple body shots. After a short while Sakura was no longer rocked but her body hurt. And Ino got bored of the boring fight and decided to end it.
Doton: Ganseki tenohira(Rock Palm)
A rock palm the size of Sakura's body flew out of the ground pushing her through multiple trees. Ebisu went to go check on her and found out she out cold.
"Winner Yamanaka Ino!"
Sasuke was looking at Ino wondering how she got stronger. He remembered her in the academy she was mediocre and on par with Sakura. Now she just wiped the floor with her, why was everyone improving so much?
"Good job Ino, I didn't know you did earth jutsu. Maybe I could teach you that rock fist jutsu I used last week." said Naruto.
"I would love to learn it Naruto-kun. What is it like a B rank ninjutsu?"
"Yep."
Ami vs Hinata
Ami stared down the shy Hyuuga heiress who was scared to look at Ami. Ami was very confident she could win this, when she told her sensei she was fighting a Hyuuga they taught her how to fight against one because apparently all Hyuuga fight the same. Ebisu signaled the match to start and Ami started out with a barrage of shuriken at the girl who tried to close the gap. Ami knew Hyuuga's are basically taijutsu experts so if she never got close to her then she would win. Hinata was able to inch closer and close to Ami every time Ami needed to grab more shuriken, when she was approximately 10 feet away from Ami she had a plan. Ami saw that Hinata was getting close, this was not good for her plan. She grabbed more shuriken from her pouch an chucked it at Hinata. Hinata knew she had to use the move she had been practicing. Hinata poured a large amount of chakra into her hand and pushed her palm forward and it dispersed the shuriken headed her way. With that out of the picture she quickly dashed forward and landed multiple Jūken strikes on Ami's body. She smiled victoriously since she knew the power of the gentle fist and she was glad Naruto was able to see how strong she was. Sadly the fight was not yet over since the Ami she hit with the Jūken strikes dispersed into water with the real Ami standing behind her with a hand seal.
Suiton: Mizurappa
Ami shot out a large amount of water from her mouth that hit Hinata and slamed her into a tree. Hinata was trying to get up but it took longer than normal because of the damage she took. Ami knew she wasn't done so right after she blew Hinata into a tree she performed more hand seals for a more powerful water jutsu.
Suiton: Suidan no Jutsu
Ami sent out a powerful stream of water towards the downed Hyuuga. Hinata had just gotten up when she looked straight and saw a powerful stream of water headed towards her. She knew she already lost, there was no denying it so she screamed.
"I SURRENDER!"
As she yelled out those words a earth wall was created right in front of her protecting her from the blast of water.
"The winner is Ami!" said Ebisu while his hands were still on the ground.
Ebisu helped up the Hyuuga heiress and brought her to the sidelines.
"Good job Ami, Hinata you guys fought well." said Naruto.
The other genin also comforted Hinata saying that she was at a disadvantage because she was a short range fighter fighting a long range fighter.
Kiba vs Shikamaru
Kiba and Shikamaru stood there looking at each other. Kiba was looking at Shikamaru with intensity while Shikamaru looked at him lazily.
"This is too troublesome I'd rather watch the clouds."
Ebisu signaled the match to start and Kiba and Akamaru ran straight at Shikamaru. Shikamaru got into his kneeling stance and formed the rat sign on his hands. Kiba not knowing what the Nara was doing kept running straight and found himself and Akamaru unable to move.
"Kagemane no Jutsu success!"
Shikamaru then grabbed a kunai from his pouch and Kiba did as well since they held their kunai in the same place. He then walked up and picked up Akamaru holding the kunai at his throat.
"Surrender."
"I forefit." said Kiba.
"Winner Shikamaru."
As they walked back into the crowd Kiba asked Shikamaru what jutsu that was. Shikamaru answered him saying it was a jutsu of the Nara clan and Kiba immediately understood.
Naruto vs Chouji
Naruto and Chouji's match went by very quickly and had little to no action since it finished within the first minute. Chouji had charged at Naruto with his Nikudan Sensha(Human bullet tank) but Naruto created one shadow clone and had it do the Fūton: Daitoppa(Great breakthrough) while he did his Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu(Great Fireball) and when the two collided it created a huge fireball which hit Chouji directly and his Human Bullet tank got canceled and he lied on the ground slightly burned and unconscious.
"The second round will be Uchiha Sasuke vs Kenji, Yamanaka Ino vs Ami, and Nara Shikamaru vs Uzumaki Naruto."
Sasuke vs Kenji
Before they fought Sasuke felt the need to try to psych out Kenji.
"I was this year's rookie of the year, what makes you think you can defeat me?"
"Well I saw what was under that shirt and I am definitely not impressed." teased Kenji.
"Still, I was rookie of the year. How did you finish in your year."
"Um well I didn't come from a shinobi clan so I didn't do as well as the others. I was my years deadlast and wasn't placed on a team for a whole year."
"Ha! You do stand no chance, you should surrender before you get hurt." said Sasuke.
'If he was deadlast how did he beat Shinin so easily?' thought Sasuke before the fight.
The boys started the fight with Taijutsu. Sasuke and Kenji charged at each other fist raised. It was an intense Taijutsu fight where both boys were dodging and weaving and throwing punches non stop for 5 minutes before they broke up.
"Hm Not bad for a deadlast."
"You aren't that good for a rookie of the year."
They both jumped at each other throwing punches like crazy. Kenji threw a right hook which Sasuke ducked under and punched Kenji in the face with his left hand but Kenji wasn't bothered at all and Sasuke ate a left uppercut from Kenji. Sasuke felt the strength of the punch and knew that if he got hit by more of those then he wouldn't be in great condition. Kenji tried to land some punches on Sasuke but he noticed Sasuke seemed to not want to fight him since he was dodging and running more than normal. Kenji decided to use some ninjutsu during this fight.
Raiton: Inazuma
Sasuke's eyes opened wide when he saw Kenji shoot a lightning bolt directly at his chest, he wasn't in any position to dodge and he definitely could not afford to be hit by that so he used the Kawarimi.
Kenji felt a surge of chakra which let him know that Sasuke used a Kawarimi and he felt a chakra signature behind him so he quickly pulled out some shuriken and threw many in that direction. He heard the clanging of metal telling him that Sasuke used a kunai to block the shuriken. He got out his tanto and enlarged kunai and dashed to where Sasuke was.
Kenji swung his tanto down on Sasuke and Sasuke was forced to block with 2 kunai since he knew how strong Kenji was. He wasn't prepared for the enlarged kunai to cut through his midsection though and he put his hand on the wound. He felt the cut and knew it was only skin deep, he also knew that if Kenji wanted he could have killed him there but he didn't want to hurt a leaf nin.
Crowd
"Oh my god Sasuke-kun is cut." said Sakura who woke up after Naruto and Chouji's fight.
"Wow is everyone on Team 13 strong like Naruto-kun?" said Ino.
"Well we did have a very harsh training regiment even before this small competition." said Naruto.
"I always wanted to try using a weapon but my Kaa-san always told me that Inuzukas don't use weapons."
"Hey Kiba if you want I have an idea of a weapon that would suit you very well and you can still use all of your Inuzuka jutsu with it."
"Really? You would do that for me man?"
"Yah dude you are like one of my best friends."
"Thanks dude. I can't wait to see it."
"Anyways how can this guy be pushing Sasuke-kun so hard?" said Sakura.
"You see Kenji is a short to mid range fighter and he is a damn good short range fighter with his strength. Sasuke can beat him if he swiches into mid to long range fighting but knowing how he is he probably wont." said Naruto.
Back to the fight
Sasuke was pissed, last years dead last was kicking his ass and he couldn't do anything about it in Taijutsu.
'Maybe Ninjutsu would be able to beat him.' Sasuke thought.
Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu
Sasuke shot out a large fireball that he poured a lot of his chakra in. Kenji's eyes widened at the size of the fireball. Kenji knew that the element that beat fire was water but he didn't know how to do water jutsu. He then remembered that lightning and fire were neutral towards one another. He decided to try to block the fire jutsu with one of his own.
Raiton: Hageshii Inazuma (Intense Lightning bolt)
Kenji poured out a ton of chakra into his jutsu and shot our a powerful beam of lighting right at the fireball and it pierced the fireball causing it to disperse and hit Sasuke head on. Before Kenji passed out due to chakra exhaustion he saw his lightning bolt hit Sasuke directly and smiled knowing he got him. Sasuke got hit by the jutsu and was unable to move due to the lightning coursing through his body. He was lucky that the jutsu used a lot of its power to dispel the fireball or he might have died. With both fighters down and out he was forced to call the fight.
"There is no winner of this match. They both lose by double knockout. We need to get these guys to a hospital."
Crowd
"Oh no SASUKE-KUN! I hope he is OK." said Sakura.
"What the fuck just happened?" said Kiba.
"Man I told him it was a bad idea to flood a technique with chakra if he hadn't mastered it yet." said Naruto.
"You knew he knew that technique?" said Ino.
"Yah he used it on me in a spar, he asked me what would happen if he overloads it with chakra and I told him not to do it until he has fully mastered it or he will end up unconscious due to chakra exhaustion."
"Why is everyone on your team so strong? First you have Naruto-kun who kicks Sasuke's ass on a daily basis then you have that guy over there, and we don't even know what Ami is capable of yet. Honestly I'm kind of scared to fight her." said Ino.
Ino vs Ami
The girls stared at each other, Ami knew Ino was slightly afraid of her so she tried to use it to her advantage. As soon as Ebisu told them to start both furiously formed hand seals.
Suiton: Mizurappa
Doton: Ganseki tenohira(Rock Palm)
Ino dodged the water comming at her and Ami jumped back from the palm shaped rock that flew out of the ground. They exchanged a flurry of shuriken and looked each other dead in the eyes. Both Ino and Ami weren't very good at Taijutsu and they both excelled in mid to long range fighting. Both of the girls flung shuriken after shuriken at each other before performing hand seals.
Suiton: Suidan no Jutsu
Doton: Furaingu gyokuseki(Flying boulder)
Ino knew that Earth techniques beat water so she smirked when her boulder ignored Ami's water bullet and kept heading towards her. Ami had no idea what to do, she didn't expect Ino's jutsu to go right through hers. She was forced to jump aside or get smashed by the boulder. Ami knew that she needed to do something or she wouldn't be able to beat Ino's earth jutsu. She had an idea, if it worked then she could win instantly.
Magen: Narakumi no Jutsu (Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique)
Ino felt some weird chakra envelope her mind and she felt like she was in another place. She standing on a mountain and she looked forward and saw a destroyed Konoha. She ran down to the village and noticed that there were dead bodies littering the streets. She ran to her home and saw many familiar people dead in front of her family's flower shop. She couldn't believe what she was seeing it was all her friends and family laid out on the ground dead.
'Wait I was just fighting Ami, why the fuck am I here? Genjutsu! How do I get out of a genjutsu again?'
Ino thought for a few seconds then remembered. Ino bit her lip hard and drew blood pulling her out of the genjutsu.
Ino looked around and saw that a stream of water was about to hit her dead on so she jumped to the side and rolled to get away from the water blast.
"You bitch, I can't believe you just did that."
"Genjutsu is a way of fighting you know."
Kurenai was happy that another person thought of using Genjutsu to fight.
"Still that was a dirty trick but at least I now know how to fight against a genjutsu user."
Ami smirked before making hand seals. Ino also was making hand seals but she was doing hers slightly faster than Ami.
Doton: Tobi Tsubute(Flying Thrown Stones)
Ami wasn't able to complete her jutsu while rocks flew at her. She was crouching so she was unable to dodge and was forced to Kawarimi with a nearby shuriken. Ami felt like she basically drained and had no more chakra left but she decided to keep fighting. While Ami was forced to Kawarimi Ino had been doing hand seals.
Doton: Otoshiana(Pitfall)
The earth under Ami opened and she fell inside.
"Fuck! Ow that hurt! I surrender."
"Winner Yamanaka Ino."
Ino helped Ami get out of the hole and helped dust her off since she was the one who caused it.
"Ino that last move where did you learn it?" asked Naruto.
"Um I actually made it. Asuma sensei always talked about how there was a legendary doton user who could create mountains and valleys so I thought why can't I make a hole for a person to fall in. I used it to catch that Tora cat."
"You're a genius Ino! Can you teach me that jutsu? I have some ideas to make it better."
Ino blushed when Naruto called her a genius but quickly turned away so nobody could see.
"Of course Naruto-kun, you should teach me some of your stuff too."
"Ok deal." Naruto said while holding his hand out."
They shook hands and Naruto was called for his fight.
Naruto vs Shikamaru
"Naruto, Ino told me you could take our whole team on by yourself. It will be troublesome but I would like to see how strong you are."
"Weren't you there when I kicked Sasuke's ass twice?"
"True, but I would like to fight against it."
"Alright, lets do this."
Naruto created 5 shadow clones and sent him towards Shikamaru. Shikamaru easily caught them with his Kagemane no Jutsu.
"What are you doing Naruto? Show me something cool."
Naruto dispelled the clones creating a large cloud of smoke. As Shikamaru looked at the smoke looking for the blonde to pop out and try to engage him in taijutsu he felt the temperature increase slightly and noticed the smoke glowing yellow. He didn't have time to dodge so he was forced to shunshin away before a powerful stream of fire melted the earth where he stood.
"Damn, dude that definately would have killed me."
Right as he said those words he was pulled underground and held with a Kunai to his neck.
"Alright I surrender."
"Winner Uzumaki Naruto! Yamanaka Ino please come down here for the final round."
Naruto stared Ino down and waited for Ebisu to start the fight.
"Hajime!"
Naruto disappeared from his original position as he ran towards Ino. He threw a right straight forcing Ino to stop her hand seals to block.
"You can't expect your opponent to not close the gap." Naruto said while throwing his punches.
Naruto was completely dominating Ino in Taijutsu since Ino was a mid/long range fighter. She eventually got tired of fighting Taijutsu and slapped an exploding tag on the ground and jumped back a few feet starting her hand seals in mid air.
Doton: Tobi Tsubute(Flying Thrown Stones)
Stones came from the ground levitated for a second before being shot at Naruto at an incredible speed. Naruto used his signature jutsu for blocking projectiles.
Fūton: Reppūshō(Gale Palm)
The rocks were deflected from their intended destination and Naruto smirked. Since Naruto wasn't taking it as seriously as he should have he missed Ino making seals so she was able to get him with her original jutsu.
Doton: Otoshiana(Pitfall)
Ino saw Naruto fall down and walked over to ask him something.
"Surrender?" said Ino.
"No."
"Why you are stuck there."
"No You are stuck there."
"What are yo-"
She was pulled underground by the real Naruto who put the Kunai up to her neck.
"Man why do you guys fall for that so easily."
"I surrender."
"Winner Uzumaki Naruto."
"Naruto you should teach me that Jutsu too."
"Sure why not its like a D-rank jutsu."
"What are you telling me you beat me and Shikamaru with a D-Rank jutsu?"
"Yes."
Ino felt bad about herself being defeated by such a lowly jutsu.
Minutes Later
"Ok the obvious winner of our competition is Team 13. Congratulations you no longer need to do D rank missions even though you already completed the required D ranks for a C rank. You will be briefed on your first C rank mission tomorrow. If you must know Team 10 was a close second place. Have a good day, you are all excused."
After the competition was finally over all the rookies decided to go home since they were exhausted after fighting. As Naruto was about to fall asleep he remembered that he would be going on his first C rank mission the next day and he slept with a smile on his face.
A/N: Ok this chapter is kind of lengthy, but finally the competition is over. The next chapter will be the beginning of the wave arc. I will only have 1-3 chapters that will cover the wave arc since I want to sneak in another c rank mission before the chunin exams. If any of you guys are wondering why Ino was able to beat Ami it is quite simple really. Ami had the elemental disadvantage, used more jutsu than Ino did so she was running on less chakra, and she got caught inside that pitfall with not enough chakra to shunshin out. She couldn't kawarimi because she had no vision. Also Ami didn't try to fight using Taijutsu, she has a slight advantage in taijutsu because of the training she received but she didn't use you guys are thinking I nerfed Sasuke I didn't really. Remember Kenji is a year older than them, he's been a genin for a year longer than them. In that year he probably did some physical exercises and on top of that they did the crazy physical exercises the sensei of Team 13. He is bound to be strong, but he is not that fast which was Sasuke's forte. And yes Sasuke is skinny even in shippuden you can see he isn't even toned or anything. And if you guys are wondering why Naruto's fights ended so quickly the main reason is he is a lot better than they are right now, he is about as strong as a recently promoted chunin to a chunin with a decent amount of experience. If you like the story so far you can Follow or favorite, and if you want to tell me something I did wrong or right or whatever feel free to leave a review.
