The Uzumaki twins

by Tensa-Zangetsu102

The Uzumaki twins have been living alone all their lives. The older twin, Hiromi, has her father's smarts and her mother's appearance, temper, and brute strength, while the younger brother, Naruto, has both his father's appearance and pacifist nature and his mother's personality.

Author's Note: I'm so sorry for the long update! I admit that this chapter will appear sucky and I really need a beta for this story especially when it comes to the fights and romance scenes.

Chapter 5: Upperclassmen: The Coming of Strong Rivals

It's been a three months since the Academy term had ended with the Uzumaki twins' eighth birthday coming in about a month with the usual 'fox hunts' may be placed on hold due to the threat that the mysterious kunoichi had laid upon the Civilian Council and their families as well as their employees unless they can get around it. Many of the civilians weren't too happy with that fact, but their hate for the Uzumaki twins didn't match with the love that they have for their families, especially their kids. They had to have the Uzumaki twins shop at their stores while forced to give them proper equipment, food, and clothing though the twins didn't want to change their style, especially Naruto, at decent and fair prices.

Of course, there were a few 'diehards' that chose not to listen, but they were made an example of by having not only the ones that attacked Naruto, but the families of those 'fools' that dared to attack Naruto be hospitalized with the children that tried to 'save' their parent(s) being a bit roughed up. The mysterious kunoichi also threatened the Civilian Council into firing those who were also a part of the attack against Naruto and Hiromi or have their families badly hurt and/or presenting the evidence of their illegal exploits to the Sandaime Hokage, who would love to have a reason to have the certain council members (AKA Uzumaki twin haters) thrown out so they won't be able to hurt the Uzumaki twins, who he had seen as his own grandchildren, ever again. The employees that were fired were compensated a certain amount for their troubles to provide for their families' costs until they found new jobs.

Right now, in the mid-evening, Naruto is currently sparing against Ryu to engage the blond boy's level and unlike the first time, Naruto isn't fighting Ryu like a brawler, but with smooth and coordinated reflexes. Actually, he was relying on his Kenbunshoku Haki to predict Ryu's moves and Busoshoku Haki to power up his defenses. Ryu rushes his fist to Naruto's face, but the blond disappears from sight using Shunshin and appeared above and behind Ryu with a hard high roundhouse kick to his head, but Ryu ducks, grabs Naruto's ankle and threw him to the ground. Naruto then lands onto his hands and bounces onto his feet, but Ryu appeared behind Naruto in Shunshin with his right hand in a kunai notion to the back of Naruto's neck.

"Oh man! Not again 'ttebayo!" Naruto complained

"Well Naruto, if it's any constellation you're getting better every time and you'll be ready for the coming academy term, tomorrow." Ryu remarked

"Yeah! This year, I'm so going to kick Sasuke-teme's butt and show to everyone that he's not so special 'ttebayo! I mean Nee-chan had proven that one twice and she's the one that's number one in our class!" Naruto exclaimed, excitedly with a foxy grin

"Naruto-kun, time to go home 'ttebano!"

Soon enough, Atsumi and Hiromi, who had her red hair grown past her shoulders, walked toward the arena where Naruto jumped next to his sister and they disappear in Shunshin, after saying their goodbyes.

(Next morning)

After placing his orange jacket on over his black shirt, Naruto places his SA button onto his left side of his jacket. Hiromi came out from the bathroom wearing a black long sleeved shirt with pink swirl marks on her sleeves and black shorts underneath her red skirt and went to grab her red vest with her SA button as well as her white scarf and red shark-finned armguards.

"Let's go!" Hiromi said, placing her vest on and she and Naruto left the apartment, then went to the academy in shunshin. They appear in front of the academy gate and walked through the courtyard where other students were walking and talking with others. The twins went into the classroom and to their seats with their friends, Kiba, Hinata, Shino, Shikamaru, and Choji seating near them with Hinata and Shino with their SA buttons on them, they exchanged greetings as Sasuke, who had his SA button, pinned to his shirt sat next to Naruto.

Naruto then noticed Sasuke, sitting next to him, which got him annoyed, "Sasuke, what are you doing sitting here, dattebayo?" he yelled

Sasuke ignored him which got Naruto even more annoyed, which got Hiromi to place her hand onto Naruto's shoulder to calm him down, "Calm him down, Naruto-kun! Just ignore Mister Second Place!" she said, making Sasuke twitched in annoyance and he glared at the red head

Hiromi takes out some ear plugs and gives them to Naruto, "Hey Naruto-kun, here! Put them in your ears!" she said with Naruto taking them and placing them in his ears.

Hiromi then takes more ear plugs and offers them to her friends, "Hear guys! You take some too!"

"Why's that?" Kiba asked, curiously

"I WAS HERE FIRST!"

"Need I say more?" Hiromi replied, dryly

"No way in hell am I ever having my ears bleed this early in the term!" Kiba then rips the ear plugs from Hiromi's hand with Hinata, Shino, Shikamaru, and Choji getting them and placing them into their ears not wanting to have their ears damaged from the 'Banshee Duo'.

Hiromi leaned back while ignoring the shouting of Sakura and Ino, who were wearing their SA buttons, of getting out of their way so one of them to sit next to Sasuke.

"Hiromi, are you even listening to me?" Sakura shouted

Hiromi yawned, dismissively, and looks at her nails further infuriating them.

"Don't act so cool, you jerk! I know that you can hear me!" Ino yelled, "Get out of my way! I got here first!"

Sakura glared at Ino, "Yeah right, Ino-pig! I got here first and you know it!" she yelled

Ino gives Sakura a sneer, "Oh please, Forehead! I got here first! Besides, I don't think that you have the right to sit next to Sasuke-kun because of your rank, Miss Seventh Place! Having Hinata beat you is one thing, but to have Naruto-baka of people beating you by just two ranks! Oh it's just sad!" she jeered

Sakura grinding her teeth in anger, remembering her current rank while glaring at not only at Ino, but at Naruto, seething at the fact that she still had no idea how someone like him get past her in rank, "And not only that, you're the lowest ranking member of our SA club, Miss Rank Seven!" Ino jeered

Sakura snarled at Ino, "I just have to beat you and take your fourth place rank then, Porker!" she yelled, a bit arrogantly

"Go ahead and try, Dobe of Special A! I'll start with that large forehead of yours!" Ino insulted

"Bring it, Ino-buta (pig)!"

Just then, two chalks hits the girls' foreheads, respectively, and they see Akako giving them a stern glare, "You two! Go to your seats, now!" She ordered

The two girls winched as they walked to take their seats at the other side of the room and Iruka and Mizuki came into the room with Mizuki glaring at Akako, hatefully.

"Good morning, class! I'm glad that you're all here safe and sound!" Iruka said, "Now, we're going to give you all your tests to see how much do you remember from the last term."

Akako stands up from her seat, "Excuse me, Iruka-san, but may I see those exams? I want to check on something." She requested

Iruka nodded, in reply, giving her the tests while Mizuki slowly walks to pass his half, but he wasn't fast enough, "Uh Mizuki-san, you too!" Akako said, holding her hand out for the test

Mizuki silently growls as he gives his half to Akako and she checks them, "Ara…ara…ara…what's this?" She asked, pulling an exam out from the pile and shows them the exam, "Now, if I didn't know any better, I'd say that this exam is similar to those given to Chunin candidates in which they'd have to be Genin first to even try to pass. It would be impossible for an academy student to answer them, correctly." She said, with a stern glare at Mizuki

Iruka was taken back at this and he glared at Mizuki, who was inwardly seething. Akako then gives the exams back at the Chunin instructors and they passed them around to the students present. Soon enough, the test was finished and Iruka started on the lecture while Mizuki was grading the exam with Akako watching at every turn which infuriated him to no end and Iruka decided to give a pop quiz.

"Okay could someone tell me what is the name of the Nidaime Hokage and his contributions to the village were?" Iruka asked.

Soon enough, two hands were raised up which belonged to Hiromi and Sakura with Hiromi having hers up first. "Okay Hiromi, answer us!" Iruka ordered, much to Sakura's ire

Hiromi stands up from her seat, "The Nidaime Hokage is named Senju Tobirama and his contributions to the village is that he was known for building Konoha's infrastructure and revolutionizing the ninja system on a whole by establishing organizations such as the Academy, and Anbu not to mention also set up the Konoha Military Police Force. He also invented the three jutsu: the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, the Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Raijin Jutsu), which was also used by the legendary and late Yondaime Hokage during the Third Great Shinobi War against our enemies: Kumogakure no Sato, Iwagakure no Sato (Hidden Stone Village), and Kirigakure no Sato (Hidden Mist Village), which earned him the moniker: Konoha no Kiiroi Senkō (Konoha's Yellow Flash) and last but not least, the kinjutsu: Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei (Summoning Jutsu: Reanimation)."

Iruka nodded his head with a smile, "Excellent job, Hiromi!"

Hiromi sits down with many of the girls, glaring at her with great hate and jealously.

"Man! I just can't stand her! That girl is such a show off as always!" Ino thought, seething

"I will NEVER lose Sasuke-kun to that girl and get stuck on having that baka brother of hers hounding on me!" Sakura thought, glaring at Hiromi with jealously and hate, "I just know that Naruto's progress has to do with HER! I just know it! She probably did it just to bug me and have a new thing to pick on me for and knowing Naruto, he's not even aware of it! Man, I hate that girl!"

Iruka looks around to find another one and spots Naruto, "Naruto, explain to me four of our shinobi code of conduct." He said

Naruto smiled, knowing that it would be easy since he had his clone study this over and over again, "A shinobi must always put the mission first, a shinobi must never show their tears, a shinobi must follow their commander's instructions, and a shinobi must never show any weakness." He replied, confidently.

Iruka smiled brightly, "Great job, Naruto! I was glad that you kept up with your studies during the break." He said, with Naruto sitting down and a few of his classmates were glaring at him with annoyance and a bit of jealously, still not getting used to having the former dead last of their class get a question right and many of the girls couldn't call bullshit on Naruto's answer or they will get into trouble. Mizuki grits his teeth, thinking that had it been him without Iruka or Akako in the room, he'd sent Naruto out of the room while accusing him of cheating.

(During lunch)

Iruka walked toward a 19th century styled greenhouse with the Uzumaki twins along with Shino, Hinata, Sasuke, Sakura, and Ino following him.

"Okay guys, this is the Academy's paradise, the headquarters of those who make it to Special A." Iruka said, opening the door for the kids to enter and they saw multiple plants around which brought a smile to Ino's face since her clan also specializes in plants. Soon enough, they arrived at a table where older kids were sitting around the table with Sasuke, twitching in annoyance, and Hinata, flinching in nervously, but tried not to show it with Naruto around. The older kids then noticed them coming towards them with Iruka in front.

"Okay kids fall in your respectable ranks and state your name and current rank starting with number one!" The older and younger class did as they were told.

"Uzumaki Hiromi, rank number one 'ttebano!" Hiromi announced, which made a few of the older kids twitch in shock seeing the Akai Chishio no Sukeban in SA.

"Hyuga Neji, rank number one!" The nine year old boy said, in an emotionless and cold tone with a bit of arrogance. The boy had long brown hair tied back a few inches above the end in a loose ponytail, while two straps attached to a smaller headband frame the sides of his face. This boy had the same pale eyes as Hinata, but had an emotionless glint in them. The boy, Neji, stared at Hinata with great hate that the Uzumaki twins could pick up and Hinata flinching at Neji's glare.

"Uchiha Sasuke, rank number two!" Sasuke said, gritting his teeth when announcing his rank while clearing hearing a stuffed up snicker from not only Naruto, still giddy on the fact that Sasuke is no longer number one, but one of the older kids, a girl that had black hair.

"Uchiha Satsuki, rank number two!" The girl, who snickered at Sasuke, said. This nine year old girl had long shoulder length black hair with two parallel bangs and the back was tied into a one long piece. She wore a white shirt that had a small Uchiha clan crest on the back and a red vest. She had on two wrist guards and some khaki shorts. The girl, Satsuki, was just as tall as Hiromi, meaning that she was taller than Naruto even. The younger students looked at Satsuki with surprised expressions since they believed that Sasuke was the last Uchiha.

"Aburame Shino, rank number three!" Shino said, coolly

"Misorame Tenten, rank number three!" The other older girl said with a smile. This girl had dark brown hair in a Chinese bun style on either side of her head with short fridge-bangs over her forehead. She had a perpetual blush, and wore a pink blouse, and yellow fastening buttons with brown shorts. She also had bangs that covered her forehead.

"Yamanaka Ino, rank number four!" Ino said with a strain voice, right eyebrow twitching and smile.

"Satoru Michiro, rank number four!" The boy, Michiro, said with a smile. Michiro had brown messy hair with green hair. He wore a brown shirt and green cargo pants.

"Uzumaki Naruto, rank number five 'ttebayo!" Naruto exclaimed with a foxy grin which made Satsuki giggle at his voice, finding it cute.

"Karino Tadashi, rank number five!" The boy, Tadashi, said with a smile. Tadashi has medium length wild dark brown hair and brown eyes. Tadashi wore a black shirt and brown cargo shorts with black sandals.

"H-Hyuga Hinata, r-rank number six!" Hinata stuttered while trying to avoid Neji's contempt-filled glare.

"Toudo Chizuko, rank number six!" Chizuko said. Chizuko was a nine year old girl with short brown hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a light green shirt and white shorts with white sandals.

"Haruno Sakura, rank number seven!" Sakura said lowly, embarrassed on her rank and she could clearly hear the snickering from Ino and Hiromi with a cough stuffed 'loser' on the side from the latter which made her grit her teeth while glaring at them with annoyance, swearing to get them for this later.

"Toudo Asa, rank lucky number seven!" Asa said with a smile. Asa had shoulder length brown hair with blue eyes. She was wearing a dark blue shirt and black pants with blue sandals.

"Really nice to meet a few of our juniors!" Tenten said in a polite tone

"The same with us!" Ino said, with a nod

"I'll just leave you guys to get to know each other." Iruka said, "And try to behave!" he added, while looking at the Uzumaki twins sternly as he left the greenhouse.

"Wow! Ranked below a classless orphan! Fugaku-sama must be rolling in his grave, right now, Sasu-chan!" Satsuki jeered

"Sasu-chan?" The Uzumaki twins said, confused

Sasuke twitched in annoyance, "Shut up, Satsuki!" he barked with a red blush

"Hey don't blame Sasuke-kun!" Sakura exclaimed, "He got cheated out of number one by this girl over here!" Sakura added pointed at Hiromi, who scoffed

"You do realize that if he was cheated out of being number one in his class, then a Chunin instructor would have seen it, right?" Tenten asked

"Don't bother! Haruno's speaking her native language: Fangirlinese!" Hiromi insulted

Satsuki twitched in annoyance, "Fangirlinese? Don't tell that they're…!"

"Yep! The losers with the platinum blonde hair and the pink head with the mutated forehead are totally the ones crushing on Mister Second Place over here 'ttebano!" Hiromi said

"Don't call me, Second Place!" Sasuke yelled at Hiromi, annoyance

"Don't burst a blood vessel, Sasu-chan!" Satsuki told him

Sasuke snarled at Satsuki, "And stop calling me 'Sasu-chan'!" he demanded, with annoyance

"But that's your name, Sasu-chan!"

Sasuke snarled in anger and the laughter coming from the Uzumaki twins from the background wasn't helping.

"Oh man! I never thought I'd live to see the day that Sasuke of all people be bothered this much 'ttebayo!" Naruto laughed, which made him fall to his knees and pound the floor.

"Shut up, you jerks! Stop laughing at Sasuke-kun!" Sakura screeched, but it wasn't helping much and the Uzumaki twins kept laughing.

Sasuke snarled at the twins, "Hiromi! Dobe! I'm so going to kick your asses later for this!" he shouted with shark teeth (One Piece joke)

"Naruto, just because your sister is around doesn't mean that I can't beat the crap out of you!" Sakura yelled, shaking her fist at the laughing blond.

The twins calmed their laughter as Naruto rises from his knees, "I'm so sorry…it I didn't mean to make you upset…Sasu-chan!" Naruto whizzed, which made Sasuke snarl at him annoyed

"Okay that's it!" Sakura rushes at Naruto with her fist cocked to punch the laughing blond and just as her fist were to smash into Naruto's head, Hiromi's right palm hits Sakura's chest, sending her flying away for her to hit the ground, surprising many of the older students.

"Whoa! That's so strength from a kid!" Tenten gushed in surprised

"Is she alright?" Chizuko asked, concerned

"Oh don't worry about Haruno! She's taken a lot more ass-kicking from me much worse than this one 'ttebano!" Hiromi said, dismissively

"I wouldn't expect anything less from the Akai Chishio no Sukeban, of course." Tadashi said, "The Academy girl that beats up and hospitalizes Genin for fun!"

Naruto chuckles dryly knowing that Tadashi has no idea on how strong his sister really is and Neji scoffed dismissively.

"That would mean that those Genin aren't really that much and the Uchiha Clan is just as inferior as I thought if the last heir is bested by a mere street rat." Neji insulted, with an arrogant tone which got Sasuke and the Uzumaki twins to glare at him, angrily.

Sasuke glared at Neji, "You care to repeat that?" he said, coldly

Neji sends Sasuke a haughtily look, "I pity you that's all! It must be sad that you, a member of one of the noble clans of the village not to mention the son of the late Uchiha Clan head, can only be second best to a commoner. Maybe, your brother, Itachi, must be the last of the best that your clan had to offer." He said with snide

Sasuke clenched his fists at the sound of his brother's name and his clan being mocked by a Hyuga, a main rival of the Uchiha Clan.

"Hey watch it, Hyuga!" Satsuki exclaimed, angrily, "Don't go dissing my clan!"

Neji shrugged his shoulders, "I'm just telling the truth that's all! The younger class is just destined for failure! Once a failure, always a failure! There's no changing of that!" he said, while glaring at Hinata, who flinched at the site of it, and Naruto took a notice to it.

"Hey pal! Is there a reason why you're glaring at my friend?" Naruto seethed, annoyed that Neji kept glaring at Hinata and it didn't sit with him right, "You've been glaring at her since we've got here as if you have a problem with her, dattebayo!"

Neji narrowed his eyes at Naruto, "I do believe that it is really none of your business." He replied, coldly

"Like Hell it isn't, you jerk!" Naruto raged, getting into Neji's face, but Hinata grabs his arms to prevent him from getting further.

"Naruto-kun, please don't pick a fight with Neji-nii-san (Big Brother Neji)!" Hinata pleaded

"No! My idiot brother is right for once! You've been glaring at Hinata-chan as if you want to beat her down!" Hiromi said, with a serious glare, "I'm telling you this up front! You try anything with her and I'll start the kicking of your ass, dattebano!"

Tenten gets in between Neji and Hiromi, "Whoa! Hold on! Listen, kid, I won't pick a fight with Neji if I were you!" She said, "He happens to be the best in our class!"

Naruto scoffed, "Yeah! Well, Nee-chan is the best in our class! Hell, she's stronger than Sasuke, here 'ttebayo!" he bragged

"She's stronger than Sasuke-kun! No way, man!" Ino yelled at Naruto, angrily

"Sorry but you're in denial! Nee-chan has kicked teme's ass twice 'ttebayo!" Naruto retorted

"I'd have to agree with Naruto on this one. Why? Because Hiromi possess physical strength far greater than boy her age, even boys are afraid of her and Naruto isn't stupid enough to actually pick a fight with her." Shino said

"I can go with the 'stupid enough' part, Shino, dattebayo!" Naruto barked

Satsuki grinned, "I've got an idea to settle things! How about in a spar to see where the youngest one stack up against us!" she suggested, "We all draw straws and the two that drew the longest straws gets to fight both Hyuga and me."

"I guess that's fair!" Michiro said, not really wanting to fight Hiromi

Tadashi gathers the straws for the younger students to draw and it looked like the ones that drew the longest was the Uzumaki twins, much to Sasuke's ire since he wanted to fight, but he thought about it more and he wanted to see how much the Uzumaki twins, especially Naruto, had improved during the break.

Naruto smiled, excitedly, "Alright! I get to take on that Neji jerk, dattebayo!" he exclaimed

"No! You take care of the Uchiha girl! I'll take care of the older Hyuga! He pissed me off enough today 'ttebano!" Hiromi said.

Naruto slumped his shoulders, knowing that he can't argue against Hiromi, "Yeah! I get it!" he spoke

Hiromi looks at Shino, "Aburame-kun, you can be the referee." She said, with Shino nodding in reply

"If you'd like to settle things, then follow me!" Neji said, walking off to a clearing of the greenhouse with the others following him. In the area, there was a huge circle drawn that was 25 feet in diameter and Naruto and Satsuki step into the ring.

"I'm curious about something," Naruto spoke, "I thought that Sasuke was the last Uchiha. In fact, I would think that since you're an Uchiha survivor."

"Well, you're just going have to beat me to get that information." Satsuki said, with a smirk, "Though, I am curious about you though. From what others have told me, you were supposed to be the dead last of your class. I'm curious to know either you were just playing the fool or there's something else."

Naruto blinked, "I just train! There's really no secret to it, 'ttebayo!" he replied

"Yeah! Somehow I highly doubt that you just train!" Satsuki said, "How if I win, you tell me your secret in improving so much in a short amount of time and if you win, then you get whatever you want from me? Sound good?"

Naruto knew what secret that Satsuki was taking about, but he couldn't reveal it because on what Hiromi warned him. Naruto also couldn't reveal to anyone about their Haki abilities to any of his classmates or instructors with the exception of Iruka and Hinata. If he revealed their secret, then Sasuke would egg on wanting to know Haki and the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, so he won't be left behind because of his 'Uchiha pride'. Naruto couldn't tell anyone from his class, especially Sasuke, on how to pull it off. While Haki is pretty hard to perform, it'll take a very long time for any one to use it in battle and the reason why the Uzumaki twins were able to perform it effectually in a short time is that, they used their Kage Bunshin to speed up the training and Hinata, through her own control of her Haki abilities, isn't at the level of the twins that Sasuke would want to be at if not more. With the amount of patience that Sasuke has when wanting to learn a useful trick to kill his brother, Itachi, it will be pretty hard for someone like him to master it without anything to speed up the process, which is where the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu comes in. The Kage Bunshin no Jutsu is an advanced clone jutsu that couldn't be taught to normal academy students or they could die from chakra exhaustion. The only reason why the Uzumaki twins can use Kage Bunshin for their own training is that they are born with immense levels of chakra. As much as the Uzumaki twins hated Sasuke, they do not want to be held responsible for his death and they promised Hiruzen that they wouldn't teach any one of the school mates the jutsu or their training regime. The Uzumaki twins have heard a lot of things about the Uchiha Clan that aren't very favorable from Jun and his family as well as many other people from the Underground like their personality, believing that they're 'Kami's gift to man' and for all Naruto may know, Satsuki could be similar to Sasuke as being an Uchiha, even if she may be cute. "Like I said, I train!" Naruto spoke

"Yeah! You just keep saying that! I'll find out one way or another!" Satsuki said, entering her clan fighting stance, the Intāseputa-ken (Interceptor Fist) and Naruto entering the Academy stance.

"Ready, Haijime (Start)!" Shino announced with the two staring each other to make a move.

For a while, the two just stood there without anyone making a move, "Uh! You do realize that it's time to start, right?" Satsuki asked

"Yeah right! You must think that I'm really stupid! I know all about that Intāseputa-ken style from the Uchiha Clan! I've seen Sasuke using that plenty of times to know that it's focused around predicting and countering your opponent's movements, dattebayo!" Naruto replied with a foxy grin while Sasuke clenched his teeth in annoyance, figuring that Hiromi must have told him.

"You caught me! If you won't attack, then I will!" Satsuki declared, running at him with what Naruto could guess was probably Genin like speed, which wasn't surprising in his opinion since she was an Uchiha like Sasuke, who can also run in Genin like speed, but the same can be said for Naruto, even with the weights on so when Satsuki finally reached him and aimed her right fist to his face, which Naruto quickly evaded by side-stepping to the left, but the young Uchiha retaliated with a roundhouse kick aimed once again to his head, which he dodge by moving backwards faster than the kick.

Satsuki throws multiple punches to Naruto, which the blond kept dodging them quickly. Naruto knocks a punch away and goes for the attack with multiple punches to Satsuki's head and chest, but the female Uchiha dodges and blocks them. Naruto goes for one punch, but Satsuki grabs his offending wrist and arm and goes to throw him over her shoulder. However, Naruto dug his right knee to the ground to stop the throw, grab her by the shirt, and threw her over into the air. With catlike reflexes, Satsuki land on her feet and looks up to see Naruto throwing a flying kick at Satsuki's head, but Satsuki jumps away from the kick and followed through a forward roundhouse kick to the face. However, Naruto used his Busoshoku Haki coated left arm to block it, which was thrown away from him, and throws his right fist to Satsuki's face while at the same time, Satsuki's left fist smashes into Naruto's face as Naruto's to Satsuki's face, knocking them away from each other.

Naruto holds his swollen cheek while thinking that that Satsuki hits just as hard as Hiromi, while Satsuki had thoughts about not underestimating the blond. Satsuki grinned, with her bangs covering her eyes, "Not bad, kid! I've always wanted to try these out." Satsuki then raised her head to reveal that her eyes had turned red with two tomoe on each eye.

Sasuke gasped in shock, "When? How!?" he gasped

"Something wrong, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked with concern

Sasuke grits in teeth in frustration, "How…how did Satsuki unlock her Sharingan?" he wondered

"Oh wow! Satsuki is actually using her dojutsu on this kid?" Tenten commented

"Since it's not an academy supervised spar, dojutsus are allowed in spars." Neji said, calmly, "There's absolutely no chance that Satsuki would lose to this kid, now."

Naruto goes to his pocket while remembering the lesson that Hiromi, Jun, and Ryu told him about the Sharingan.

Flashback

"The Sharingan?" Naruto questioned while he along with Hiromi, Jun, and Ryu sat onto the stadium.

"That's right, Naruto! You said that one of your classmates is an Uchiha, right?" Jun inquired, with the blond nodding in reply, "Well, the reason why the Uchiha Clan is well-known through out the ninja world is because of their Sharingan. I'll start explaining the mechanics of this dojutsu so you can understand it."

Naruto had a look of disgust feeling a lecture, "Oh man! Do I have to? It's not as if teme has unlocked his. If he had, then he would have used it against Nee-chan, so he wouldn't get his butt kicked by her twice, 'ttebayo!" Naruto complained

"That's because there's a special condition meant for the Uchiha to unlock them, but we'll get to that later. It's important to know this in case that Uchiha classmate of yours uses it against you. If you don't know the mechanics, then he'll beat you with those eyes of his!" Ryu said

Naruto groaned in annoyance, "Fine! I get it, dattebayo!" he said

Jun started the lecture, "Well, first the Sharingan's abilities consist of two parts: Dosatsugan (Eye of Insight) and Saimingan (Eye of Hypnotism), you're following." He said

Naruto nodded, with Jun continuing the lecture, "The first of the Sharingan's powers is being able to see chakra flow. The Sharingan itself gives colour to chakra, allowing the wielder to tell apart from them. They are also able to tell if a person is under a genjutsu because the person's chakra flow would be irregular. Therefore, that your Uchiha classmate would be able to see your chakra flow with these eyes and see if you're under a genjutsu or not. Does it make sense so far?"

"Yeah! I get it 'ttebayo!" Naruto replied

It was Ryu's turn to take over for his father, "The second-most well-known ability grants the user an incredible clarity of perception, allowing them to easily recognize genjutsu and different forms of chakra. This also allows the user to pick up on subtle details, enabling them to read lip movements or mimic something like pencil movements."

"As the Sharingan evolves, gaining more tomoe, this ability extends to being able to track fast-moving objects before finally giving them to see the image of an attacker's next move from the slightest muscle tension in their body and counter-attack or dodge without any wasted movement." Hiromi added.

"That's similar to our Kenbunshoku Haki, dattebayo," Naruto gasped in shock, "So does that mean that Sasuke-teme would be able to see every one of my moves coming?"

Hiromi nods her head, "That's right, Naruto-kun! Though, like Kenbunshoku Haki, even though Uchiha may be able to see the attack or know it's coming, his body may not always have time to react in time." She replied

"Which is why we're always working on increasing your physical speed, so even though your Uchiha classmate does activate his eyes, he won't be able to dodge it. You're following us now?" Jun explained with Naruto nodding his head in reply, "Now, we get to the Sharingan's third and most well-known ability is that it grants the user the ability to copy almost any technique that he or she witnesses, apart from other Kekkai Genkai techniques. The user can memorize ninjutsu, genjutsu, and Taijutsu with near-perfect accuracy, allowing the user to use the techniques as their own."

"Wait a sec! If I were to use a jutsu, then teme can use his Sharingan to copy it as if he owns it, dattebayo?" Naruto shouted, in annoyance seeing that he has to be really careful onto when or not to use a jutsu for now on.

Ryu nodded, "That's right, kid! This is why that most ninja clans have a very big problem with the Uchiha Clan. The Uchiha Clan is known to be thieves of jutsu that good ninja work their lives to perfect." He said, with annoyed

"That totally sucks now 'ttebayo!" Naruto protested

"True, however, there is a catch: in order to reproduce a copied technique, the user must have the necessary skill or ability to actually perform them. For an example, should Uchiha use his Sharingan to copy our Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, he'll still die from chakra exhaustion, so that means that we have to increase our chakra reserves even further since when it comes chakra reserves, we're superior to him and our large stamina as well too, dattebano." Hiromi said

"Now, that I like to hear 'ttebayo!" Naruto grinned

"Now, we're moving on to the Sharingan's final ability is capable of stirring up a unique brand of hypnosis that involves suggesting actions and thoughts to the opponent through genjutsu cast by simple eye contact between both parties. The hypnotic ability coupled with the other part of the Sharingan can make the user appear as if they can 'see the future'. First, the user must perfectly mimic every move their opponent makes and possibly their thoughts and words through careful observation. Then, they suggest an action to the opponent such as hand seals for a technique that the opponent and Sharingan user already know and copy that. With these things done, the user can complete the action even before the opponent does, possibly using the Sharingan's genjutsu to confuse or delay them. As with other genjutsu, genjutsu cast by the Sharingan are capable of putting an opponent to sleep, including paralysis, replaying memories to someone else via genjutsu, or creating various illusions to deceive someone or torture the person." Jun explained

"Luckily, there are ways of combating Sharingan users. Avoid looking at them in the eyes and you'll be fine!" Hiromi said

End Flashback

Naruto takes out a glasses case, opens it reveal a pair of sunglasses with zigzag frames, and places them over his eyes.

"What's with the sunglasses?" Satsuki asked

"Protection from those eyes of yours!" Naruto replied, with a foxy grin

"Protection? He couldn't have known…!" Sasuke thought

"I don't get it! How would those sunglasses work as protection?" Ino asked

"The Sharingan's Saimingan," Sasuke replied, "The only way for Sharingan users to hypnotize their opponents is through eye contact. Satsuki could delay every one of Naruto's movements with those eyes of hers, but somehow Naruto discovered beforehand a way to counter that ability: by blocking his eyes from Satsuki's Sharingan with those sunglasses."

Tadashi whistled, "Smart move with the kid there!" he commented

"And he was the dead last for the past two years?" Chizuko said with disbelief

"But that doesn't make any sense, how could someone like Naruto manage figure out one of the Sharingan's abilities?" Sakura asked, "Especially since he's not from the Uchiha Clan nor he should have experience with the Sharingan."

"Good question, care to explain yourself, Hiromi?" Sasuke asked, glaring at the red head

"Whatever do you mean?" Hiromi asked with mocked innocence

"Don't play dumb with me! There's no possible way that someone like your brother could obtain knowledge about my clan's dojutsu, even the public library doesn't have that kind of knowledge." Sasuke said

"And just want are you getting at, Uchiha?" Hiromi asked, forging innocence

"Just exactly who's been training you?" Sasuke asked, "You couldn't have known about the Sharingan when you couldn't have possibly have experience about it."

Hiromi grit her teeth, but she chuckled, "Now why would I have a trainer? Both Naruto and I are orphans and having a trainer is a serious breach to the rules of the academy, dattebano." She said

"Not necessarily against the rules." Shino spoke, stoic, "Why, you ask? Because even orphans like you and Naruto can be given trainers while in the academy with the Hokage's permission."

"And why would the Hokage give us, clan-less orphans as you call us, permission to have our own trainer?" Hiromi asked, while forging innocence, "Why would we be so special that we would need our own trainer by the Hokage's permission?"

"And does it really matter?" Neji asked, with a scoff, "Why don't you just accept your fate as a member of a failure clan? A failure clan that is near its extinction that is."

Sasuke glared at Neji, "If you can't even defeat a clanless orphan, then what good are you?" Neji asked with a sneer, "Once a failure always a failure! You can relate to that…Hinata-sama?" Neji asked, pointing a sneer at Hinata who flinch from sight.

Naruto grunts in annoyance after hearing Neji's words, "I have to finish this fight, so Nee-chan can kick this jerk's ass, dattebayo!" he thought, angrily, while taking off his weights and throwing them to the ground with Hiromi picking them up for him.

"So you were wearing weights the entire time?" Satsuki questioned

"Yeah! I knew that the Sharingan would be a problem, so I had to take them off to increase my speed, dattebayo!" Naruto replied

"Well, just because you took off a few…" Satsuki was taken back when Naruto appeared close to her, kicked her in the stomach, knocking the wind out of her and throwing her into the air, surprising everyone except for Hiromi.

"Oh crap! I hit her too hard 'ttebayo!" Naruto shouted

"No way! That kid happened to knock Satsuki flat even with her Sharingan activated!" Asa yelled

"The underclassmen are showing a lot of promise, right now." Tenten commented

"What the….? Since when was Naruto this fast?" Sakura exclaimed

"Well, he has been wearing those weights the entire time, though." Ino replied, with a grim look

Sasuke glared, thinking, "Just how fast is the dobe anyway! Satsuki's Sharingan should have seen that attack coming!"

After recovering in the air, Satsuki lands onto her feet while staying in the ring and she stares at Naruto while rubbing her stomach.

"Oh good! I'm glad that you're not hurt, dattebayo!" Naruto said, with a nervous smile and rubbing the back of his head, "I didn't mean to hit you that hard! Sorry!"

"Don't be concerned about your opponent, you brat!" Satsuki charges after Naruto with greater speed than before and throws a flying kick to Naruto, but the blond blocks it with his right forearm. Within the next six minutes, the fight consists with Naruto and Satsuki exchanging punches, kicks, blocks, and forms of attack without either of them showing any signs of giving up. Naruto jumps up to avoid Satsuki's kick and goes to kick her in the head, but the female Uchiha blocks the kick with her right forearm. Satsuki then grabs onto Naruto's offending leg and hurls him to the ground, but Naruto uses his hands to hit the ground and used his free leg to smash his foot onto Satsuki's face, knocking her away from him. Doing a flip, Naruto lands onto his feet and rushes over to Satsuki, who was slowly recovering from Naruto's kick. By surprise, Satsuki yelps as she found herself falling to the ground onto her back and felt a weight onto her stomach and Naruto's fist pointing to her face with Naruto's other hand tied to her neck.

"Winner, Naruto!" Shino declared, which was a total surprise to almost every one around, especially Sasuke.

"Did Satsuki just lose?" Tenten exclaimed, with disbelief

"I thought that since Satsuki had her Sharingan activated, she'd win!" Tadashi said

Neji chuckled, arrogantly, "Like I said, the Uchiha clan is nothing more than a failure clan that couldn't beat a mere commoner." He said, which got Sasuke to glare at Neji heatedly for insulting his clan.

Hiromi chuckled, smugly, "Well, it seems that having a powerful dojutsu isn't always everything, huh?" she jeered towards Sasuke.

"Hiromi, just shut up!" Sasuke demanded, angry that an Uchiha was beaten by a clan-less nobody, especially someone like Naruto.

On the meanwhile, Hinata had a wide smile on her face at her crush's win and Sakura and Ino had dumbstruck looks on their faces.

"D-did you see what happened?" Sakura asked, stammering

"T-t-that Naruto managed to beat our upperclassmen's second strongest student and an Uchiha like Sasuke-kun. Yeah, I did!" Ino replied, as Naruto gets up onto his feet and dusted off his pants, after taking off his sunglasses.

Satsuki laid onto the ground in shock at what just happened: she lost. She lost to a clan-less orphan, a boy younger than she, a member of the Uchiha Clan: Sharingan and all, and she still lost. Even if she knew that her Sharingan was still underdeveloped, she still couldn't believe that she lost.

"That was a great spar; we should really do this again sometime, 'ttebayo." Naruto said while smiling as he helped his opponent up. Satsuki blushed but accepted the hand.

Neji huffed, "It comes to no surprise that Miss Second Place lost to a fool like him." he spoke, which got Naruto and Satsuki to glare at him.

"You are you calling a fool, you jerk!" Naruto yelled

"The only reason you won is that Satsuki's Sharingan is underdeveloped, but I guess that little victory means so much for someone like you, loser." Neji insulted

Naruto clenched, "Oh yeah! You keep talking like that, you asshole! When Nee-chan beats you, we'll see who the loser is, dattebayo!?"

"That would never happen!" Neji steps into the ring as both Naruto and Satsuki left, "Now, I do believe that there was someone that I need to put in their place. Destiny has made me the winner of this fight." He spoke, arrogantly looking at Hiromi

"Oh man! This guy is worse than Sasuke-teme, 'ttebayo!" Naruto yelled, angrily, "That's it! Nee-chan, go kick jerk's ass! He's totally asking for it, dattebayo!"

Hiromi smirked in reply, "Don't worry, Naruto-kun! I won't lose to this creep!" she replied as she starts to walk to the ring, only to have Sasuke walking past her.

"No! I'll fight him!"

"Get back, Mister Second Place!" Hiromi said, "It's my turn!"

"He kept insulting my clan by saying that it's a failure clan!" Sasuke seethed, "It's only right for me to set him straight!"

Naruto got mad at this, "No way, teme! You lost in the straw drawing, so it's me and Nee-chan who'll fight, dattebayo!" he shouted

"Pipe down, Naruto-baka!" Sakura shouted, "Just let Sasuke-kun take Hiromi's spot!"

"Yeah! Besides, this whole thing is your and Hiromi's fault that Neji kept insulting the Uchiha Clan by Hiromi beating Sasuke-kun twice and you had to make it worse by beating another Uchiha, who happens to have the Sharingan!" Ino added

"And that ladies and gentlemen is what we can a loser's excuse, dattebano!" Hiromi jeered

"Shut up, Hiromi! Sasuke-kun's fighting Neji and that's that!" Sakura shouted, only for Hiromi to grab her by the shirt, lifting her up in the air.

"Who are you to be giving me orders, Haruno?!" Hiromi asked, in a deadly tone, "You, a weakling, has no right to boss me around with your third-rate skills!" With a sudden jerk, Hiromi throws Sakura to the ground hard causing the pink haired girl to yelp in pain upon impact.

"That's it!" Sakura gets onto her feet and lunges at Hiromi, but Naruto and Hinata grab her arms and waist to stop her, mainly to save her from Hiromi's wrath.

"Sakura-san, please don't!" Hinata pleaded

"Yeah! Nee-chan let you off easy this time! Push her even further, you'll seriously get hurt, dattebayo!" Naruto added

Sakura growled, while calming down, "Alright! Only since you said so, Hinata! As for you, you idiot, let me go!" she yelled, pushing Naruto away from her

Hiromi glares at Sasuke, "As for you, Uchiha, back off! I already told you this jerk is getting a good-old-fashion-Hiromi-sama-made ass-kicking for that crap about destiny, dattebano!" she said

"The only who will be kicking his ass is me!" Sasuke declared

"No me 'ttebano!"

Neji clenched his teeth in annoyance, "Excuse me!" he interrupted

"What is it!?" Sasuke and Hiromi yelled at him in unison

"If you two aren't going to decide anything now, how about this: the Uchiha, I will be face and once I win, I'll face the red-head! It's not that it'll matter since destiny has chosen me to be the victor for both fights." Neji said, arrogantly

"Oh you must want that ass of yours kicked so hard that that stick that's stuck to it gets shoved even further, dattebano!" Hiromi sneered

"Pipe down, Hiromi!" Sasuke said, "I'll face him, then I'm coming after that dobe you call a brother of yours and you!"

"What!? Why me?" Naruto asked

Sasuke looks at Naruto, "Before I used to believe that you were a good for nothing clan-less talentless loser that's hardly even mentioning, but now, after seeing what has happened, next to Hiromi, you're another that I want to face in our class, Naruto." He replied, with a smile. Naruto gives a surprise look at Sasuke as the two rivals look at each other, just then Sakura and Ino push Naruto out of the way to get to Sasuke.

"Sasuke-kun, what about me?" Sakura asked, adoringly, "Do you acknowledge me?"

"You please, forehead!" Ino yelled, "You couldn't even beat me, hell, even Naruto in rank! Why should he acknowledge you?"

"I'm still considering kicking your scrawny ass to get your fourth place rank away from you, Ino-buta!" Sakura replied, angrily

"Go ahead and try, Dekorin!" The girls kept glaring at each other with electricity coming from their eyes. Ignoring them, Sasuke walks to the center of the ring with Neji waiting for him.

"You know, I actually feel sorry for that Uchiha kid!" Tadashi said, "Having to fight Neji of all people!"

Back in the ring, Neji and Sasuke were staring each other down.

"It's quite a shame!" Neji said, shaking his head.

"What is it?" Sasuke asked, with a glare

Neji sends Sasuke a haughtily look, "The second ranked student of his class facing against the number one student of his class! Anyone can see that this fight's victor has already been decided, even before we fought based on a few factors. First, if the rumors are accurate, you tied a match with the fifth place ranked student of your class, who happened to be the dead last for two consecutive years." Sasuke clenches his teeth in annoyance while Naruto glares at Neji, angrily, but Neji doesn't stop, "Second, if the rumors are also accurate you've tied with the first place ranked student of your class in past matches, before she defeated you, twice in fact. You've tied against one clan-less orphan and lost to another, it's quite pitiful! Not only that, you haven't even awakened your own dojutsu, the Sharingan, have you?"

"Shut up! I don't need the Sharingan to take care of you!" Sasuke barked, angrily

Neji sends an arrogant smile as his pupils become more distinct and his veins near his temples begin to bulge, "As you can obviously see, unlike your clan, my clan dojutsu, the Byakugan, can be given to us, Hyugas, at the time of our births." He said

"Hey what's with that jerk's eyes?" Naruto asked

Hinata gasped in shock, realizing what Neji is going to do, "That's the Byakugan, our clan's dojutsu! He could seriously hurt Sasuke-kun with it!" she exclaimed

"You're kidding!" Ino said, with a snort

Hiromi shakes her head, "No! Hinata-chan is right! The Byakugan gives Hyuga a near three hundred sixty degree field of vision, so there's no amount of sneak attacks will be made. Also, with the Byakugan, Hyuga can also effectively use his clan's known Taijutsu: the Juken. From what I understand, the Juken focuses more in internal attacks, then external attacks that we've been performing, dattebano." She explained

This is where Naruto gets nervous, "Wait by internal attacks, you don't mean…?" he asked

"Hyuga can attack Uchiha's chakra pathway system and organs without even piercing the skin with those eyes. This makes the Juken highly dangerous to face as one cannot train one's internal organs to become stronger. When struck, Hyuga can choose to either seal, or forcibly open these tenketsu, thus giving him complete control over Uchiha's chakra system, potentially letting the user seal the victim's body through its stopped chakra flow." Hiromi explained

Hinata looks at Hiromi in shock, "But Hiromi-san, how did you know that?" she asked

"Yeah! That's what I want to know." Sakura said, with a glare

"Well, I happen to take a glance at your fighting stances when we were sparing. It didn't make any sense to see any one to fight with only their palms, instead of their fists, since it won't cause that much damage. That's when I thought about it! I only heard about the abilities of the Byakugan around the village, even to a few members of the Hyuga arrogantly boasting about it. I heard that the Hyuga Clan had a Kekkai Genkai of their own, the Byakugan, and it's usage in their style, similar to the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan with their clan stance, the Intāseputa-ken."

Neji stares at Hiromi, seriously, "Well, it seems that someone has done their homework on the workings of my clan." He said, too calmly

Tadashi whistled, "Wow! I must say that the underclassmen are pretty impressive, huh?" he said, with a grin

"Hn! So, in order to beat you, I'd have to avoid getting hit by those bothersome hands of yours, huh? That should be easy enough." Sasuke boasted, with a smirk

"Just because of you knowing my clan's abilities does not change the fact that fate has chosen me to be the victor of this fight." Neji proclaimed, getting into his Juken stance

Sasuke gets into his Intāseputa-ken stance, "Get ready to fall under the might of the Uchiha, Hyuga!" he said

"Go Sasuke-kun!" Ino cheered

"Yeah! You can do it! Beat this guy!" Sakura added

Naruto glares at Neji, "I can't believe that I'm actually saying this, but I'm hoping that Sasuke beats this creep, dattebayo!" he grumbled, "No offense, Hinata, but your brother's a grade-A jerk, 'ttebayo!"

"A-actually, Neji-nii-san is my cousin." Hinata corrected

Naruto recoiled at his mistake, "Oh sorry!"

Soon enough, the fight starts with Sasuke throwing multiple shuriken at Neji, who responded with getting his own kunai and batting them away and he sees Sasuke rushing over to him. As he got close, Neji throws his right palm at Sasuke's chest, but the Uchiha dodges it, and moves over to the right and throws a kick with his right leg to Neji's side, but the Hyuga blocks it with his left arm tenketsu and not wasting time, Sasuke yanks his leg away from Neji's reach before he gets the try to hit his and jumps away from him.

Sasuke smirked, "Good! If I can continue to move this way, I may just find a blind spot to this guy's defenses!" he thought, "But Hiromi said that the Byakugan has a three hundred sixty degree field of vision so it will be tough! Head on attacks won't work on this guy! I've got to plan this very carefully!"

"Stop wasting time trying to find a blind spot!" Neji snapped, breaking Sasuke from his thoughts, "I know what you are planning on doing! Your red haired classmate has told you that my Byakugan has a three hundred sixty degree! There is no way that you can find a blind spot! It is meaningless! Let me show you what I mean!" Neji then charges after Sasuke with to use his Juken on Sasuke, but Sasuke barely moves out of the way and Neji throws another Juken at Sasuke with his other hand. However, Sasuke dodges every single on of Neji's Juken and goes in for a punch in the chest, but Neji grabs his offending wrist and goes to slam it with his Juken, but Sasuke grabs Neji's other wrist to stop the attack, jumps up and slams his foot onto Neji's chest hard, knocking him away as he releases Neji from his grip.

"Alright!" Ino cheered

"Ha! Take that, you jerk, dattebayo!" Naruto added

Neji holds his ribs in pain, while glaring at Sasuke, "Lucky shot!" he said, with a snort

"You sure you don't want to give up, Hyuga! There's no chance that you'll hope to beat me, even with your dojutsu." Sasuke bragged with a smirk

Neji scoffed in response, "Don't hold your breath! This is far from over!" Neji then charges after Sasuke, then tries to hit Sasuke's right shoulder, but the Uchiha dodges it, but couldn't get away from the other Ju-ken coming for his left shoulder, causing him to cry out in pain as Neji's attack hits its mark.

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura and Ino yell out in shock

"That would hurt!" Hiromi commented

Sasuke skids back while trying to stay onto his feet, while glaring at Neji and gripping his shoulder in pain.

"Is that all you have to offer, Uchiha?" Neji asked, with a condescending tone, "So, this is what the last of the Uchiha can do. It's quite sad."

"Not even close!" Sasuke roared, rushing after Neji, throwing a punch after punch with Neji either dodging or blocking them. After blocking most of Sasuke's punches, Neji counters with five Ju-ken to Sasuke's chest, making him cough blood as he's thrown away. Sasuke grunts in pain as he covers his aching chest with his right arm.

"You might as well give up this fight!" Neji boasted, arrogantly, "Fate has chosen me to as the victor of this fight. The Uchiha Clan has become obsolete! It has run out of talented shinobi. Unlike you, I would never tie or fallen to a commoner."

Sasuke snarled, "Shut the hell up!" he screamed, charging against Neji with blind rage.

Neji humped, "Fool!" Sasuke throws more punches at Neji, who flawlessly dodges and blocks them, and counters with four multiple palm strikes to the chest and one more to the chin, knocking him down to the ground.

"Winner, Neji!" Shino declared

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura and Ino exclaimed, horrified, and the two girls rushed to the fallen Sasuke.

Neji smirked at Sasuke, who glaring at him, "Way a go, Neji!" Tenten cheered, as Neji deactivate his dojutsu

"That jerk beat Sasuke!" Naruto commented, angrily

"As you just witnessed, fate is never wrong!" Neji said, with a haughty smile, "The Uchiha Clan will fall with you and that's the fact. I guess that the only Uchiha that has only ever brought glory to your obsolete clan was I believe was your brother, Uchiha Itachi." Anger flew through Sasuke's veins as Neji continue to spoke, "Everyone knew about the accomplishments that your brother has fulfilled graduated at the age of seven at the top of his class, received and mastered his Sharingan a year later, passed the Chunin Exams at the age of ten, joined the ANBU at the age of eleven, then become a captain at the age of thirteen. He was known to be the great pride of the Uchiha Clan!" Sasuke clenched his teeth as he glared at Neji, "And then, there is you, the younger brother, who's still in the academy, has yet to not only graduate or receive his Sharingan, has lost to a commoner and you wish to surpass. It's impossible for someone like you, who was spared by his murderous brother on a sole reason that he was not worth killing." That was it! In great rage, Sasuke knocks both Sakura and Ino away and charges after Neji, but was held back by Naruto's five Kage Bunshin by the arms and shoulders. Sasuke struggles to get from the grip of Naruto's clones.

"Dobe, tell your stupid clones to let go of me!" Sasuke demanded

"Sorry teme, but it's Nee-chan's turn to fight this jerk!" Naruto replied

Sasuke glared at Naruto, "This fight has nothing to do with you or Hiromi!" he raged

Neji chuckled, "So, you need your fifth place ranked classmate to rescue you. How the mighty Uchiha Clan has fallen?" he jeered, which infuriates Sasuke even more and Satsuki snarled at the fate-obsessed Hyuga, who glares at Hinata, coldly.

"You should take this lesson to heart, Hinata-sama as well as your two commoner friends, especially the blond one. No matter how hard you try, a failure will always be a failure." Neji spoke, which infuriates Naruto

"TEME! (Why you…?)" Naruto screamed, rushing after Neji, but was held back by Hiromi and Hinata by the arms, "Let me go! I'll beat him to a pulp dattebayo!" Naruto exclaimed

"Naruto-kun, please don't!" Hinata pleased

"Besides, it's my turn! I'll be sure to kick his ass for you 'ttebano!" Hiromi declared

Naruto growled, in annoyance, "Nee-chan, please do! I really hate that guy!" he exclaimed

"Let's get on with it! I'd love to provide fate's outcome once again!" Neji called out.

"Don't rush me, Hyuga!" Hiromi retorted, walking into the arena as Sasuke was dragged out of the arena by Naruto's Kage Bunshin with Sakura and Ino following them.

"It's rather unfortunate for you." Neji commented

"Oh and why's that?" Hiromi asked

Neji replies, smugly, "You can't see the obvious differences between our abilities and that you don't acknowledge your place in this world. Fate has determined that I'm the winner of this fight."

"You know, you're not the first clan member that has underestimated me. I've sent people like you to the hospital because of pissing me off dattebano!" Hiromi sneered in response

"Do not lump me with those failures, commoner! They were obviously weak if they were to lose to someone like you and your brother and those failures shouldn't even be shinobi in this village." Neji said, sternly

"Oh! I've got a question to ask: Do branch members of the Hyuga Clan get away with talking down to members of the main branch?" Hiromi asked, with a smug smile which gets Neji to glare at her, "Those bandages around your forehead are a dead give away dattebano."

"Oh crap! Don't tell me that she went there!" Tenten exclaimed, worriedly about Hiromi's future

"I'm surprised that you happen to know about it!" Neji snarled, in anger

"I'm more surprised that you manage to overlook the fact that a member of the main branch member is a classmate of mine and you're calling her weak, dattebano." Hiromi said, "She must have a lot more patience than I thought, but then again, Hinata-chan happens to be the kindest person that I know for you to take down upon her and get away with it."

Neji huffed, "You neglected one trait of Hinata-sama, a failure that shouldn't even be a shinobi if she were to lose to the likes of you and that brother of yours." He spoke, glaring at Hinata, who flinched, which in turn made the Uzumaki twins hate him even more as well as annoyed Sakura and Ino.

"That creep!" Sakura snarled

"Now, I don't know who to root for: Neji or the girl that we happen to hate more than anything, 'cause they're both pompous jerks." Ino added

"Nee-chan, beat this guy up 'ttebayo! Tear him apart!" Naruto called out.

Neji glanced at Naruto and then Hiromi, "Your name is Hiromi, is it? Well then, tell that brother of yours to cease his annoying cheering. It's unbecoming of a shinobi. Why you even bother started training him is beyond me? He's still failure much like the two, who he already surpassed." That comment got both Naruto and Sakura to glare at him for Naruto, Neji kept insulting him, Hinata, and Sakura and for Sakura, the fact that she had Hinata and the classmate that she believed to be a complete baka had surpassed her was brought up, once again.

Hiromi glared at Neji, "Well, I don't care about that pink haired loser, you just pissed me off even further by insulting Naruto-kun and Hinata-chan. Now, the trouble I may have is explaining to Iruka-sensei why one of my sempai happens to be badly injured dattebano."

Neji reactivates his Byakugan, "We shall see!"

"Let the fight begin!" Shino declared.

At that moment, Hiromi charges right in and attacks with a punch with such speed that Neji barely manages to dodge or so it seems.

Neji leaps back and he says, with a smirk, "Not bad, commoner, but…" However, a cut then appears where Hiromi's punch seemly miss causing blood to drip out surprising plenty of people including Neji most of all in which he thinks, stunned, "But how?"

"Am I seeing things or did that girl actually scratched Neji?" Tenten exclaimed, surprised

Neji swiped the blood from his cheek, "Enjoy that first blow while you can, commoner, for it will be your last!" he declared.

"We'll see about that, Hyuga!" Hiromi said, throwing a few shuriken and kunai at Neji, who quickly dodges them, grabs one of the thrown kunai and deflects three more shuriken. However, to his surprise, Hiromi appeared behind him and throws a kick to his side that he barely dodges. Hiromi then goes into attack by throwing multiple punches at Neji, who has almost a hard time dodging and blocking them, due to the speed and strength behind them. Neji then goes in for the attack by throwing multiple Ju-ken at Hiromi, who dodges them even sneaker ones thanks to her Kenbunshoku Haki. Hiromi jumped further away from Neji, who charges after her, and tries to hit her with a Ju-ken, but Hiromi jumps, flips over Neji's head, and lands further away from him.

"Nice, Nee-chan!" Naruto cheered

Neji glared at Hiromi, annoyed that he couldn't hit her at all, "Don't think that this is over, commoner!" he said, charging in to use his Ju-ken on Hiromi, who charges at Neji to punch him. However, the bell that signaled that lunch was over and the two combatants stopped.

Neji walked away from the ring and looked over his shoulder, "Don't think that this is over, commoner! I will show you that your efforts will be futile!" he said, coldly

(Back in the classroom)

Mizuki and Iruka pasted back the quiz to the students, there was a mixture of happy 'whoops' and groans of disappointments from them. When Iruka went to Naruto's seat, he gave him a proud smile as he gave him back his quiz and walked off to pass back the others. When Naruto looked at his paper, he got a huge shock to see a '95' marked on his paper with Kiba and Hiromi looking at it, which they were shocked and Hiromi gave Naruto a big hug in surprise.

"A ninety-five!" Kiba yelled out, surprised, "No way! How does a moron like you get that high of a score!?"

"What!?" Ino shouted, in disbelief as she jump down and snatched Naruto's paper and her own, which was marked '90' on it. The blonde girl looked at the paper with great shock and horror, "No way! That's impossible! How did a grade-A idiot like you get a higher score than me!? You must of have cheated!" she screamed.

"He didn't!" Akako commented from the corner of the room, "I kept an eye on everyone in the room, including Uzumaki-kun, and I didn't see any sign of foul play. I also had my signature on every test to show that it's legitimate."

Ino looked that the paper and saw Akako's signature on them, which made her even more anger and Sakura's amusement filled laughter didn't help much. "Naruto of all people got a higher score than you, Ino-pig! For once, I'm actually glad that he did something that really made my day!" she laughed, which made Ino glare at her annoyed.

"Shut up, Forehead! I'm still higher than him when it comes to rank, while you're still stuck at Seventh Place!" Ino retorted, which made the two girls glare at each other, challengingly.

"That's good for you, Naruto-kun!" Hinata commented, with a blush

"I still can't believe it! How did you do it!?" Kiba howled at Naruto, "How did you do better than me?"

Naruto groaned, "Nee-chan?! She made me read all those books on history and rules of conduct or she'll kick my butt so hard that I won't sit for a week-ttebayo!" he replied, which made him turn a smug face at Sasuke, "Hear that, Sasuke-teme! I got a ninety-five 'ttebayo!"

After Iruka gave Sasuke back his paper, Sasuke looked at his score and he smugly showed it to Naruto, which made Naruto lose his smirk to see that Sasuke scored a 100. Naruto growled, knowing that Sasuke had beaten him, again.

"Better luck next time, loser." Sasuke said, smugly

With that comment, all the annoyance that he got from Neji, earlier, was removed and aimed back at Sasuke. "You know, I actually thought that after than beating that you got from Hinata's jerk of a cousin and Nee-chan would have mellowed down that belief of you being better than everyone else and I actually felt sorry of you after that beating that you got from Neji-baka, but now that's out of the window! I will NEVER EVER feel sorry for you EVER AGAIN, you jerk! And you're still below Nee-chan, Mister Second Place!" Naruto raged

Sasuke felt annoyed at Naruto's comment, but brushed it off, "Hn. You still can't beat me, can you, Mister Fifth Place!?"

A red anime vein mark appears on Naruto's forehead, "Ack! Why you…?" Naruto glared angrily

"Knock it off, Naruto-baka! Quit bothering Sasuke-kun!" Sakura screamed angrily and she received her quiz back which had marked '100' which made her squeal with excitement. Sakura gave Ino a smug look, "Ha! Look at this, Ino-pig! I aced the quiz like Sasuke-kun did!" she bragged, which made Ino glare at her

"Can you be any louder, Haruno-baka?" Hiromi insulted

Sakura scoffed, "Not even you can actually bring me down today, Hiromi-teme!" she said, rudely, "Just you wait the day that you being number one will be coming to an end!"

Iruka gave Hiromi back her exam and she looked at it, which she shows it to Sakura and it made the pink haired girl infuriated as she saw '120' marked on it.

"Whoa! A hundred twenty!" Choji exclaimed, with awe

"As expected of my sister!" Naruto said, with a smug smile at Sasuke, who clenched his teeth in anger

"No! How the hell did you get that score!?" Ino screamed at Hiromi

"I answered the bonus question correctly, moron!" Hiromi replied, smugly and turned to Sasuke, "Now, better luck next time, Mister Second Place."

Sasuke growled in annoyed, "And as for the two of you, better luck next time, losers!" Hiromi insulted Sakura and Ino, who were burning with anger.

"Damn you, Hiromi! I really hate you!" Sakura screamed

Hiromi brushed it off, "As if I care, Billboard Brow! All I know is that, you're still stuck at Seventh Place and if Yamanaka don't watch it, Naruto is going to leave her in the dust by the end of the term 'ttebano!"

"Shut up, Hiromi! Like Hell that's ever happening!" Ino declared, clenching her fists while believing somewhere in her heart that Hiromi was right.

(After class)

Student rushed out of the school as the day was over with the Uzumaki twins and their friends walking away from the class with Naruto, Kiba, and Choji talking among one another. It was then, something rudely bumped into Naruto's right shoulder and he saw the back of Neji, who was walking without even acknowledging Naruto.

"Hey you jerk! Watch it, 'ttebayo!" Naruto yelled at him, angrily shaking his fist at Neji, who was still ignoring him. "I know you can hear me, teme!" Naruto roared, while Hinata was trying to calm him down from attacking Neji.

"Who is that guy?" Kiba asked

"Hyuga Neji, he happens to be our upperclassmen's number one student," Hiromi replied

"And the world's biggest jerk that rivals Sasuke, 'ttebayo!" Naruto snarled, "But don't worry, I'll get him back for pissing me off!"

~Next time~ (One Piece First Opening 'We Are' MIDI)

Naruto: Oh man! Of all days, it HAD to be today, 'ttebayo!

Hiromi: I know! But I have a feeling that it will be different this time.

Mysterious Kunoichi: Here's the deal! You will not only allow the Uzumaki twins to attend the Kyuubi Festival, but you will ensure that they BOTH have a very good time without any problems or certain information gets to Sandaime Hokage-sama's ears.

Saki: Damn you!

Hiashi: Who are you?

Masked Kunoichi: Hiashi-sama, I would like for you to do this favor for me…

Naruto: Next time, Kyuubi Festival: Uzumaki birthday, I'm gonna be Hokage, 'ttebayo!
