The rest of the taijutsu and kenjutsu part of the gennin exam finished concluded without incident. That was, after they had revived everyone else from Kenji's blood-thirst. Naruto noticed that only the ones, who had managed to stay conscious, put on a good show. Sasuke was easily the best, excluding himself, passing the exam with flying colours, and knocking out his sparring partner. The shy girl shocked him when he discovered she was from the Hyuuga clan, her name was Hinata. The other two kunoichis, Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka he learned was their names, were pretty average with nothing really outstanding about them, but still above the others. The lazy guy, Shikamaru Nara who was sleeping, he suspected had a very high IQ. The guy who was constantly eating, Choji Akimichi, was incredibly strong. The one who had the smell of bugs through him, called Shino Aburame, was very calm and accurate; no doubt a tracking ninja and the guy with the dog, Kiba Inuzuka, had a very strong natural instinct, very similar to his own.

"We will now commence with the final part of the exam. Please follow us to training room 4." Iruka instructed to the class. Naruto and Kyuubi got up to follow the rest of the class. They had no idea where they were going. When they arrived at training room 4, Naruto paused and admired the room. It was very large and spacious with high ceilings and timber floors, Ideal for sparring and target practice. On the other side of the room, were two gigantic double doors, Naruto couldn't think of a reason why they were so big.

"When we call your name please move to the centre of the room. There you will perform a transformation, escape and clone jutsu. A minimum of 3 clones is required. Once you have completed these tasks you may perform a jutsu of your choice to gain extra marks. First up, Sasuke Uchiha!" Sasuke walked up to the proctors calmly, no emotion on his face. "You may begin when you are ready," Iruka said, giving Sasuke room to perform his jutsu. Sasuke just nodded and started making the hand-signs for the transformation jutsu. As expected he did all of the required jutsu flawlessly. Naruto was curious to see what his extra credit jutsu would be; he was definitely above the rest so his jutsu must be fairly impressive.

As Naruto watched he made the hand-signs for Snake, Tiger, Monkey, Boar, Horse, and Tiger. "Hm, so it's a fire jutsu huh?" thought Naruto, just as Sasuke yelled

'Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

Fire erupted from his mouth, as a massive ball of flame burst into life in front of him. Naruto was impressed. "Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire," he sang under his breath, causing Kyuubi to snort in amusement. Iruka was glad he gave the Uchiha room; otherwise he would've been barbequed. Extra crispy if the burn marks on the roof, walls and floor were any indication. He cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.

"Thank-you Sasuke, please return to the others." Sasuke just huffed and walked back, trying his hardest to avoid the predictable onslaught of fan-girls. No such luck.

"Ommigawd Sasuke-kun! That was amazing!"

"You're such a suck up Sakura! I knew Sasuke-kun would do something this incredible, I never thought he could do anything less than mind-blowing!" gushed Ino. Naruto snorted in amusement. How he did not envy Sasuke at this moment. "Seems like he picked up another fan too," Naruto thought in his head. He had to hold a hand over his mouth to stop himself from bursting out with laughter. Kyuubi had run up to the young Uchiha and was now skipping circles around the boy. Sasuke eyed the fox before patting his head. Kyuubi gave a happy yip and continued to show his appreciation for the fire jutsu. That almost sent Naruto over the edge. His sides were shaking and his brain was fuzzy from the lack of oxygen. Kyuubi must have sensed that Naruto was suffering somehow and turned to look at the boy. He almost growled when he found out it was from laughing too hard.

"And what do you think you're laughing at kit? Keep in mind your answer will affect the length of your life," Kyuubi growled menacingly in Naruto's mind, which only made Naruto laugh harder.

"Oh, nothing great and powerful fox demon," Naruto gasped when he finally controlled his mirth. "Just didn't know that seeing fire jutsu made you act like a fluffy kitten. I'll have to remember you have a fire fetish the next time I really piss you off." He managed to say before losing his control and fell to the ground in giggles. The class of on-lookers stared at him as if he grew a second head. Sasuke raised an eyebrow, Naruto noticed he did that a lot, probably did weights with it or something, whilst Kyuubi just growled. Iruka was surprised that the boy could laugh like that. After all the torture and beatings he went through, he would've expected the child to never smile again. But here he was, literally rolling on the floor with laughter. He smiled at the boy, happy that he could find joy in his life.

"We shall now continue on with the exams," One of the proctors stated clearly, interrupting Naruto's fit of laughter. "Next is Ryoma Walker." Naruto tuned out after that, only paying attention to the final jutsu of the ones that caught his eye. Again it was the ones he noticed earlier. Shikamaru performed a Shadow Possession Jutsu. Kiba did a drill like technique called Fang Over Fang. The Hyuuga girl showed off her Byakugan doujutsu. The loud Ino girl over-shadowed someone's mind and the very loud Sakura chick demonstrated perfect chakra control. The fat guy, Choji, expanded apart of his body whilst the quiet bug guy, Shino, summoned a swarm of, you guessed it, bugs. Finally it was Naruto's turn. He was still undecided as to what he should perform for extra credit. As he stepped up to perform his jutsu, he noticed that everyone was paying attention to him. Even the slacker, Shikamaru, had an alert look on his face. Naruto sweat dropped.

"So much for lying low," he thought. He heard Kyuubi faintly chuckle in the back of his mind.

"It's your fault for showing of earlier. Now, have you decided on your final jutsu?"

"No! What should I do?! Should I summon the five guardians? Perform the Rasengan? Create a thousand shadow clones? I know! I'll do the Sexy Jutsu! That's bound to knock them out! Well at least the males any way, maybe I should add a guy for more impact...,"

"STOP! Just stop there! I will not have my reputation tarnished from associating with someone who resorts to that to try and impress some other pathetic human! I thought that old woman raised you better!

"That's it!" Naruto exclaimed in his mind. "I know the perfect thing!" Kyuubi was quiet as he viewed the idea forming in Naruto's mind. He gave a small purr of satisfaction at the choice. "Now I just need something to actually work on," he thought to himself. And for once, the universe delivered. Just as the idea formed in his head, a bird crashed into the window outside and dropped to the ground. "Fang! Fetch!" Naruto ordered out loud. Kyuubi gave a growl as he was referred to in a way that is usually favoured for dogs but went to do his master's bidding anyway.

"Naruto, you may proceed to perform a jutsu for extra credit," Iruka informed him. Naruto nodded and sat down in the middle of the room. Reaching into one of his pockets he pulled out a scroll. Opening it, he withdrew a handful of senbon needles and a scalpel. Everyone was quiet as they waited for something to happen.

"..."

"....."

"...... Hurry up already!" yelled an impatient Kiba. Naruto frowned.

"I'm waiting for Fang to return. I can't perform my jutsu until he gets back with what I need." Just as the words left his mouth, another ball of fire erupted in the centre of the room. "Seriously, the thing you have for fire is getting a little creepy,' Naruto muttered under his breath, just out of Kyuubi's hearing. He then stared at the fox and instantly knew why he had taken so long. "I only needed one bird you stupid furball! Not a hundred of them!" he yelled at the fox. Kyuubi just shrugged his shoulders as he dragged the piece of material covered in numerous feathered bodies, over to Naruto.

"Naruto, what are you going to do with all of those birds?!" asked a very confused Iruka. Each of the birds was injured in some way. Some had broken wings, others had gashed across their stomachs from different predators, but most had broken necks and were paralysed, most likely from what the first bird had done and flown into a window.

"I'm going to heal them," He said simply. "Can someone open the doors?" he asked looking at one of the other proctors. He nodded and headed over to the large double doors on the other side of the training room. Naruto turned his attention back to his patients, ignoring the disbelieving stares he was receiving from his fellow classmates. He pulled some more senbon needles out of his scroll and threaded a wire through the ends of each connecting them all. When he had threaded enough needles for each bird he closed his eyes and concentrated. Everyone in the room could feel the build up of chakra. Naruto started to glow a faint red as each of his needles were lifted into the air by the string that now pulsed with his chakra. Suddenly his eyes snapped open and each needle buried itself in a feathered body. Students gasped as the needles pierced the already wounded birds. Sakura was shocked anyone could be so cruel.

"Hey! Don't hurt them! Quick, we can take them to a vet!" she shouted out running to stop Naruto from further torturing the poor creatures. She was stopped halfway to her target by Kyuubi. "Out of my way you stupid fox!" she screamed at the kitsune. Kyuubi growled at her and refused to move.

"Oi, Haruno, shut up. Just watch."

Sakura turned to see Sasuke glaring at her, before retuning his attention to the blonde sitting in the middle of the floor. Naruto's eyes were glazed and had not noticed the outburst. The pulsing sting of chakra was now being channelled into the bird's bodies by the senbon needles. Each animal connected to the string was engulfed in red light. Naruto brought his hands together and did a series of hand-signs so quickly; none could follow with the naked eye.

"Chiyu Style: Kitsune Reiki!" he yelled and yanked on the thread, pulling all of the needles out of every bird. The result was instantaneous. Immediately the flock of birds took flight, flying as high as the ceiling would allow them. Kyuubi turned and yipped at them before running out the door. The flock of birds turned and followed the fox out to freedom. Naruto got up and stretched, burying the morbid memory that arose from hearing the sound of many birds. "Haven't healed that many in a while. Kaa-san would be disappointed." He thought then turned to the proctors and smirked at their expressions. Iruka had his mouth hanging open so far it was almost hitting the floor.

The proctor who had opened the door had dropped his clipboard and the other one had lost the ability to stand properly. Naruto just shrugged and returned to the other students, who gave him a wide berth, like he was some deity that had graced them all with his presence. Sasuke just stared at the blonde boy, his face not revealing any of his actual mind state; complete astonishment. When Naruto walked over to him, he just nodded as if he saw this thing every day. Naruto grinned and leaned against the wall to wait for the results of the gennin exams.

Just to clear up a few confused people. Chiyu: Kitsune Reiki is my own creation. Chiyu means healing, cure and recovery. I didnt know the style that medic ninjas used so i made my own. kitsune is of course fox and reiki is kinda like the universal healing force. like Yoda but only for boo-boos. so it translates roughly to RECOVERY/CURE STYLE: FOX HEALING FORCE!. =D thanx 4 reading
