Early Morning
Naruto got up from his bed to see his lovely wife, Shizune sleeping next to him. Naruto smiled as he kissed her cheek. Shizune squirmed awake as she turned to see her blond next to her.
"Mmm good morning Naruto-kun," Shizune said to him. Naruto smiled as he looked at her.
"Good morning my demon mistress," Naruto said to her. Shizune chuckled at the name as she got up.
"Today the second exam is over right?" she asked. Naruto nodded.
"That's right, now let's get our team and head out," Naruto told her. Shizune nodded as she went to wash up and get ready. Naruto soon followed as he washed his body also. Soon both came out of the room as they went to Haku's room. Naruto saw Haku soundly asleep and didn't want to wake her up, but he had to.
"Haku-chan, wake up my ice mistress," Naruto said to her. Haku squirmed awake as she turned to her blond leader and boyfriend on the bed. Haku gt up slowly and adjusted her eyes.
"What day is it?" she asked. Naruto smiled.
"Today is the prelims for the Chunin Exams," Naruto told her. Haku opened her eyes as she went to the bathroom. Naruto and Shizune smiled as they waited on the bed.
"So what do you think the chances are of you fighting Sasuke?" Shizune asked. Naruto showed an evil smirk as he looked at her.
"I really don't know, but he better be hope that for his sake he doesn't fight me cause I would kill him," Naruto said to her. Shizune smiled as she leaned on Naruto's shoulder.
"You know, today is Kurami's birthday," Shizune said with a sad smile. Naruto nodded also.
"I know, she would have been 2 today," Naruto said to Shizune. Shizune let a tear fall down her face as Naruto comforted her.
"Don't worry Shizune, I don't know how, but we will get Kurami back," Naruto swore. Shizune looked at him and gave him a kiss.
"Thank you Naruto-kun," Shizune told him. Soon Haku came in with her clothes on as the two looked at her. Both nodded as the three went downstairs. Naruto saw Zabuza in his Jonin vest as he ate breakfast.
"Going somewhere Zabuza?" Naruto asked him. Zabuza nodded.
"Yeah I got a mission with some of the Chunin later," Zabuza told him. Naruto nodded in a smile as the three left the house. Zabuza smirked as he went back to his breakfast.
"Kick ass Naruto, Shizune, Haku," Zabuza said to the door.
As Naruto's group left, they met up with Kiba as Naruto grabbed them and shunshined to the tower.
At the Tower
Anko sat on a couch as she calmly waited for her team. No sooner than her thoughts, Naruto and his group appeared with full smiles. Anko sighed as she got up.
"Alright everyone is here, let's get started," Anko said to them. Everyone nodded as they all walked out and lined up with the rest of the genin who were lucky enough not to die. Naruto turned as he saw Sasuke with his hand on his neck. Naruto smirked as he looked around the room. He saw the Suna team, Gai's team, and all of the other rookies. What surprised Naruto a little was when he saw Kin, Dozu, and the supposed to be dead Zaku. Naruto turned to Shizune who smirked.
"Oh joy, I get to kill him all over again," Shizune said to Naruto. Naruto smiled and nodded as he went into thought.
"I guess Orochimaru would use his resurrection jutsu, but I didn't know he would waste it on this guy," Naruto thought, but shrugged it off. Everyone turned their attention to the Hokage who was at the top of the stadium.
"Congratulations to all you genin who managed to survive this round, because of the excess group of people, we will now have preliminary matches for everyone, when your name is called come down to the area and fight. Good Luck to you all," he said as he stepped back. Soon a man with a strange couch appeared in the center of the room.
"*couch couch* I am Hayate Gekko, and I will be your proctor for this part of the exam. Everyone get off the floor. Sasuke and Akado Yoroi stay on," Hayate announced. Naruto smirked as he walked up the stairs muttering something about the emo escaping death. As his team went to the side, they all looked at the fight. Naruto turned to wave to a blushing Hinata and the calm Shino.
As Sasuke and Akado stood on the floor, Hayate brought his hand down and backed away.
"Hajime," He shouted as he back up. Sasuke smirked as he looked at Akado.
"You should consider yourself lucky that you get to have your ass kicked by an Uchiha," Sasuke told him. Akado smiled as he replied.
"We will see," He said as he charged at Sasuke. Sasuke smirked as he ran at Akado. Both delivered a barrage of fast punches on the other as they countered every single one. Akado managed to grab Sasuke's head as his hand glowed. Sasuke felt his chakra drain as he pulled from the man's grip.
"Hmm I couldn't get all your chakra, oh well I will get the rest," He said as he charged. Sasuke smirked as Akado let out a punch. Sasuke ducked under the punch as he let out a kick at the man's stomach. Akado screamed in some pain as he was sent to the air. Sasuke smirked as he disappeared and reappeared behind Akado.
"Looks like I get to try my new move on you," Sasuke smiled as he brought his foot around. Akado anticipated the kick and blocked.
"Not that easy kid," He said to Sasuke. Sasuke still smiled as he twisted and brought his other foot around as he appeared in front of Akado. Sasuke sent a punch then other as Akado went towards the group. Sasuke still kept his arrogant smirk.
"You still have a long way to go...," He said as he put his other foot on Akado's stomach and slammed him into the ground.
"...Barrage of Lions," Sasuke yelled as he stood over the knocked out Akado. Hayate came up and nodded.
"Winner: Sasuke Uchiha," Hayate said to him. Sasuke smirked as he went upstairs. He passed Naruto as he gave him a look that said 'beat that dobe'. Naruto sighed as he looked at the board. Naruto smirked as he looked over at Zaku.
"Boy dude you are really unlucky," Naruto said to him. Naruto managed a wave at Kin who blushed but waved back. Zaku smiled as he saw his name, but didn't see the challenger's name.
"Alright watch me mop the floor with whoever this is," He said as he landed on the ground. Soon someone came down the stairs with a big smile. Zaku had his eyes closed trying to look calm as Hayate looked at the challenger. Hayate waved his hand.
"Hajime," he said as he backed away. Zaku opened his eyes as he was ready to fight. As soon as his eyes opened his face paled as he saw the last person he would have wanted to see.
"Nice to see you again Zaku, I hope to have fun again," Shizune said as her hand glowed with a chakra blade. Zaku's eyes showed absolute fear as he backed up into a wall.
"N-No not you," Zaku said as Shizune walked to him. Zaku could swear that he saw the gates of hell open as he looked into Shizune's eyes. Zaku lost all control of his will and screamed with terror in his voice.
"NO! S-S-Stay away from me y-y-you psycho, I-I don't want to die, AHHHHHHH!," He shouted as he ran out the arena. Shizune showed a blank look on her face while in her mind she was laughing her ass off. Meanwhile, all the audience, save Naruto's group were confused. The man sounded like the girl was going to kill him, which she had before. Shizune looked up in fake confusion.
"Umm does this mean I win?" She asked. Hayate regained his senses and walked forward.
"Umm due to Zaku's withdrawal, Winner: Shizune Kato," Hayate announced. Everyone decided to shrug off the victory as Shizune went up the stairs. She stood next to Naruto. Naruto smiled.
"You enjoy yourself?" He asked. Shizune smiled.
"The way he screamed felt so good, that was too easy," Shizune told Naruto as they looked at the board. The next names came up to the screen. Hayate decided to speak.
Next Match: Haku vs Choji Akamichi," Hayate said to her. Haku smiled as she nodded. Haku went down to the field as Choji appeared also. Hayate put his hand down
"Hajime," he said to them. Choji smiled as he started.
"Nikudan Sensha," he yelled as his body rolled at Haku. Haku smiled as she took out her senbo needles.
"Useless, I am too quick for that," she said as she disappeared causing everyone to gasp especially Sasuke. Choji lost track of her as he realized he was encased in a dome of ice walls.
"Sorry Choji-san," Haku said as her kunai slammed into his rolling body. Haku smiled as she formed some water.
"Sensatsu SuishÅ(A Thousand Needles of Death)," Haku yelled as the water formed into ice needles and shot at Choji. Choji screamed as the needles stuck to his body. Choji fell down unconcious. Hayate went over and looked at him.
"Winner: Haku," Hayate said with a cough. Haku nodded as she went back upstairs. Naruto and his team gave a shout of victory as they smiled. Suddenly they all saw Sasuke walk over to Haku.
"Look here girl, I am an Uchiha, and therefore I give you the honor of being my wife and bearing my children," Sasuke told her. Haku looked at him in confusion as she tried to fathom what he just said to her. Naruto sighed as he rolled his eyes. Kiba scowled at Sasuke, and Shizune narrowed her eyes. Anko narrowed her eyes at Sasuke. Everyone who could hear, waited for Haku's response even the Jonin and the Hokage. Haku suddenly smirked as she leaned on Naruto and kissed his cheek.
"So sorry Uchiha, but this is my man, I would rather die than settle for ANYTHING less," She said with a smile. Almost everyone laughed as they heard Haku's response. Sasuke seethed as he walked back to his group. Kakashi narrowed his eyes as he walked to the girl. Naruto's eyes turned to slits as he saw the copy ninja advance towards their group. Here was the Uchiha's loyal dog, who bent over for his master. He always talked about friends and not abandoning them, but he was the main person who did just that in the future. Naruto could almost kill him, but resisted the intense urge.
"Umm Haku was it?" He asked with a sheepish grin. Haku turned to him and looked at him.
"Yes sir?" She asked. Kakashi sighed.
"With all due respect please reconsider Sasuke's proposal. He is a good boy and a powerful genin. I do believe that he would be the perfect husband for you instead of Naruto," Kakashi said trying to show Naruto some humility and was failing badly at it. Haku narrowed her eyes at him. Was he telling her who she could love? Did he just say that Sasuke was better than Naruto?. Haku seethed as she looked at the man still smiling.
"Listen here Kakashi was it? I don't love the Uchiha and I never will. I love Naruto-kun and I WON'T tolerate people berating the man I love. Now get out of my presence before I turn you into a human refrigerator," Haku threatened. Kakashi and everyone widened their eyes at Haku as Naruto's group smirked. Kakashi narrowed his eyes, but nodded.
"Yes sorry Haku," He said as he left. Naruto smiled as he looked at her.
"Hmm didn't know you loved me so much," Naruto told her. Haku looked at him and smiled.
"Aww Naru-kun, of course I love you. You are the only man I need," Haku told him. Naruto smiled as he kissed her. Hayate coughed as he brought everyone back to the match.
"Next match: Temari vs Tenten," He said as the weapons mistress and the wind mistress came down. Naruto smiled as he watched. He turned to his group.
"You guys know that we do need a person to make weapons for us," Naruto told them. Everyone nodded, as Anko smiled.
"You suggesting our weapons mistress down there?" She asked. Naruto smiled.
"Maybe I am," Naruto told her. As they talked everyone turned back to see that the match was over with Tenten over Temari's fan.
"Winner: Temari," Hayate said to them. Temari flung Tenten off her fan as she went upstairs not before winking at Naruto. Naruto sighed as he smiled at her.
"I think I attracted the wind mistress also," Naruto told them. Everyone turned to see Temari staring at Naruto. Haku, Shizune, and Anko sighed while Kiba gave Naruto a thumbs up. Everyone turned back to see the board.
"Next: Shikamaru vs Kin," Hayate said to them. Naruto gave Kin a thumbs up as she blushed, but went to fight Shikamaru.
"Man why is it a girl?" Shikamaru asked. Kin twitched.
"You saying there is something wrong with a girl?" she asked. Shikamaru shrugged his shoulders.
"You know what, I give up this is a pain," he said with a yawn. Kin scoffed as she walked back upstairs.
"Umm Winner: Kin," Hayate said to them. Everyone's jaw dropped to the ground as Asuma complained to which Shikamaru ignored. The board lit up again.
"Ino Yamanaka vs Kiba Inuzuka," Hayate called. Kiba smiled as he jumped down. Ino smiled also as she jumped down.
"Listen dog-breath, I am going to win this fight," Ino told him. Kiba smirked as he set Akamaru down.
"Just try it you damn flower loving bitch," Kiba said to her. Knowing Naruto's memories Kiba saw that Ino was one of the main reasons Sasuke abandoned Kiba and left him to die. Knowing that pissed Kiba off to no end as he looked at her.
"Hajime," Hayate said to them. Kiba smiled as he charged Ino. Ino managed to dodge Kiba's charge, but he was too fast and grazed her shoulder. Kiba smirked as he let out some smoke bombs. Ino coughed as she tried to see in the smoke.
"You hiding Kiba?" Ino teased. Kiba scoffed.
"Not really, Gatsuuga( Fang over Fang)," Kiba shouted as he and Akamaru teared up the smoke and Ino inside. Everyone waited for the smoke to clear as they saw a battered Ino on the ground. Kiba smiled as he picked her up by the collar.
"Maybe you will think before abandoning me," he said as he tossed her to Hayate.
"Winner: Kiba Inuzuka," Hayate coughed. The board lit up again.
"Naruto Uzumaki vs Dozu," Hayate said. Naruto smiled as he looked at a trembling Dozu. Dozu couldn't handle the pressure or the fear and called to the proctor.
"P-Proctor I give up," Dozu said to him. Everyone wondered why he would give up. Hayate looked at him suspiciously, but nodded.
"Winner: Naruto Uzumaki," Hayate said to them. Naruto nodded as he stayed back on the railing.
"Well that was anti-climatic," Naruto said to them. Everyone nodded as they looked at the board.
"Next Match: Neji Hyuuga vs Hinata Hyuuga," Hayate said to them. Both went down as they faced each other.
"You are a loser and you always will be a loser, you cannot change that," Neji told her. Hinata smiled with a sudden brim of confidence as she activated her byakugan.
"Then you shouldn't have much to worry about Neji nii-san," Hinata said as she charged him. Neji smiled as used his byakugan also. Both went through as series of air palms as blue chakra blowed out of their hands as they tried to strike the other. Neji cursed for not being able to beat Hinata faster.
"Damn, how can she move so fluently?" Neji wondered. Hinata shot forward as she managed to strike Neji in the shoulder. Neji cursed as he jumped back and gripped his shoulder.
"Dammit," He said. Hinata smirked.
"What's wrong nii-san, you look like you are having some trouble," Hinata told him.
"Shut up, you are a failure," Neji said as Hinata disappeared. Naruto and his group gasped.
"Hinata was never that strong, in fact it took her three years to attain that speed," Naruto told them. Everyone turned to him in disbelief as they looked back at the match.
Hinata reappeared behind Neji as She began to spin. Neji countered her move with his own as they collied and yelled.
"Kaiten," They yelled as their opposite techniques clashed and exploded the arena. Everyone covered their eyes as the smoke settled down. Everyone saw Hinata standing over an unconscious Neji.
"Looks like you fail Neji nii-san," Hinata said to him. Hayate stood up over Neji.
"Winner: Hinata Hyuuga," Hayate said. Hinata smiled as she walked back to the balcony. Naruto walked up to her.
"Nice job Hinata-chan," Naruto told her. Hinata suddenly blushed seeing his face and looked down.
"T-Thank you N-Naruto-kun," Hinata said as she squirmed back to her group. Hayate sighed.
"Next Match: Kankuro vs Shino," He yelled. Kankuro cursed his luck and looked at the proctor.
"Proctor I give up," He said him. Hayate coughed.
"What is with all of the forfeits today?"he wondered.
"Winner: Shino Aburame," Hayate said to the bug user. Shino looked unenthusiastic as he laid back in depression. Hinata smiled as she went to comfort Shino.
"Last Match: Sabaku no Gaara vs Rock Lee," Hayate called out. Lee smiled as he jumped off the railing. Gaara smiled as he shunshined in the sand.
"Hajime," He said to them. Lee charged Gaara and attempted a kick, but it was blocked by a wall of sand as Gaara stood still. Lee smiled as she tried to bypass the and, but to no avail. Lee was getting frustrated as he saw his attack were of no use. Gaara used his sand to sweep Lee of his feet and propelled him into a wall. Lee smiled as he climbed out of the concrete.
"Sorry Gai-sensei," Lee said as he took of his weights. The weights mad a loud crash as they came down. Lee smiled.
"Ahh finally, now the fun can begin," Lee said as he disappeared. Gaara widened his eyes as he heard an impact behind him. He turned, but saw nothing. Then he heard a crash to the side, he still saw nothing but green blurs. Gaara was sent across the field as Lee managed to connect a punch to Gaara's face. Gaara made a crazy look at he smiled.
"Yes this is what it means to be alive," Gaara said to Lee. Gaara's sand covered the area as Lee managed to dodge the strikes. Gaara was feeling more and more thrilled as his sand went over the arena. Lee managed to disappear again as he kick Gaara into the air. Gaara gasped as Lee pushed him higher and higher away from his sand. Lee wrapped his cloths around Gaara as he began to spin.
"Omote Renge(Primary Lotus)," he yelled as he and Gaara spiraled down. They hit the sand as Lee struggled to stand. Gaara was seen with cracks on his face as he began to pound Lee with his sand. Lee now knew he would lose if he didn't use it. Lee sighed as he charged his chakra. Lee's body began to change as his muscles tightened and his skin turned red. Lee looked at Gaara and disappeared.
"This is my power, with this I will win," Lee said as he slammed Gaara in the back and disappeared. Lee began this process until the two were in the air with Gaara getting his ass handed to him by the green beast. Gaara seethed as he knew he couldn't defend against such speed. Lee smiled as he slammed his foot into Gaara's stomach.
"Ura Renge(Hidden Lotus)," he yelled as they slammed into the ground causing a massive explosion. Lee couldn't even stand as he looked at Gaara. Gaara looked at him and stretched his hand out. Soon the sand went to get Lee as it surrounded his body. Lee cursed as he tried to get away but couldn't. Gaara's sand went at him and crushed Lee's arm and leg. Lee yelled in pain as he fell over unconcious. Gaara got up and breathed hard, then walked away.
"Winner: Gaara," Hayate said as the prelims ended. Sarutobi came up to the remains people.
"Alright great job everyone, we will have your final matches in a month, so work hard and here is the roster," He said as he posted it to a wall.
"Naruto Uzumaki vs Shino Aburame
Hinata Hyuuga vs Shizune Kato
Kin vs Haku
Sabaku no Temari vs Kiba Inuzuka
Sabaku no Gaara vs Sasuke Uchiha,"
"This is the list for next month, train hard and you will achieve greatness," Sarutobi said as he walked off. After Naruto and his group looked at the list, everyone shunshined to go home.
