Hi guys, again, going through a bit of a writers block as of right now so bear with me here. I was planning to make the last chapter both this one and last one's combined, but I thought about it, and I decided that getting a chapter out was more important than making a long one… sooo… yeah. But at least I made this one longer than usual… Also don't own Naruto, AND ON WITH THE SHOW!
Chapter 7- From a "Rookie" to a Ninja (pt. 2)
"Mizuki will be the one you face for the test," said Iruka.
At this, Naruto let out a maniacal grin, finally having an excuse to beat the shit out of his least favorite student.
While Naruto was thinking about what he would do to Mizuki, Iruka explained rules like no weapons, he decides when the match is over, Mizuki would be going easy, etc. The class nodded in understanding and walked towards the training fields for the spar. They were right next to it though so it wasn't a long walk.
Not even a minute later, everyone got on the training court and awaited their turn to go, Mizuki waited for his first student to come up, and Iruka stood there, holding his clipboard. (Like last time, I will only mention the important people)
"May Aburame Shino please enter the ring," said Iruka.
In response, Shino calmly walked onto the training court and stood in a fighting stance, awaiting the scarred Chunin to start the match.
"Ready… Begin," Iruka said.
Mizuki was the one who started, launching a weak punch at Shino, Shino then appeared to block with his left arm but actually pushed Mizuki's arm out of the way and landed a solid right-hook to his face (or at least solid to an academy student). Shino then tried to land a sweep kick that Mizuki backflipped over. Then came an exchange of fists that ended in a punch to the stomach by Shino, flowing smoothly to a weak uppercut to Mizuki's jaw.
"Ok, that's enough… Shino, you pass," Iruka said in a monotone voice, "Next up, Akimichi Chouji, may you please step up to the training field."
Chouji walked up to the training court and stood in his fighting stance, ready to go.
"Ready… Begin," Iruka said.
This fight wasn't an immediate start, in fact they waited almost a minute after before Chouji started. He launched his right fist towards Mizuki who managed to block it. Mizuki then aimed a right cross at Choji's face but Chouji blocked it with both of his arms. Mizuki saw the wide opening and aimed a roundhouse kick at Choji's back. Choji was expecting this however and wrapped his arms around Mizuki's leg, catching it is some sort of headlock. After about three to four seconds of struggle, Choji started spinning, all while holding Mizuki's leg. This went on until Mizuki fell and rolled away from Choji on the floor.
"OK, that's enough… Chouji, you pass," said Iruka, "Next up, Haruno Sakura."
Sakura then walked onto the training field, staring intently at Mizuki, mentally preparing herself for this fight.
"Maybe Sasuke-kun will go out with me if I impress him enough," Internal Sakura said, hearts in her eyes.
"Ready… BEGIN!" Iruka said, starting the match.
Sakura then rushed over to Mizuki and jumped at him in an attempt to punch him. This was responded with Mizuki leaning out of the way. As soon as she landed, she turned around and tried to kick Mizuki. To which Mizuki blocked the kick. While Sakura was vulnerable, Mizuki attempted to punch Sakura. But this was responded with Sakura clumsily jumping backwards out of the way.
For the next while, this kind of exchange ensued, Mizuki mostly dodging and blocking until Sakura had to defend. This lasted longer than any of the fights thus far, but nobody got knocked down. Eventually though, Sakura showed signs of exhaustion due to her low stamina and chakra reserves and started breathing hard.
"Have I not shown enough, I've lasted this long," Sakura said, looking at Iruka, "I guess I'll have to finish it while I have enough energy to do so."
Sakura then pumped some chakra into her muscles and jumped forward quickly. When she was right in front of Mizuki she crouched down and landed a sweep kick at Mizuki. This didn't knock him down, but it kept him off balance just long enough to land a solid blow in Mizuki's face, just barely able to knock him over.
"OK that's enough… Sakura, you pass" Iruka said, "Hyuuga Hinata, may you please step onto the fighting ring."
Hinata timidly nodded her head and slowly walked onto the training course, slightly sweating due to the nervousness, despite knowing that the teacher won't hurt her.
"Am I good enough for this," she thought, looking at Mizuki's serious, almost intimidating, demeanor.
"Should I give up? Am I not meant to be a Genin?" Hinata thought to herself, and most definitely not being incognito about it either. Her face showed every last bit of doubt and nervousness she was internally feeling.
Naruto saw it and decided to do something about this.
"Hinata!" Naruto called out to her, his eyes showing warmth and comfort in them and a smile/smirk present on his face.
Hinata looked in his direction, her troubled look eased slightly, but not completely. She leaned her head to the side and had a questioning look on her face.
"Do your best OK, you got this," Naruto said, giving her a warm smile and a thumbs up.
Hinata's facial expression immediately changed, taking a shocked expression until it morphed into one of determination.
"Hai," Hinata said in understanding, getting into the gentle fist stance and activated her byakugan.
"This is new," thought Mizuki.
"Ready… Begin," said Iruka.
Hinata immediately ran forward, not wanting to waste too much chakra on her Byakugan before the ninjutsu test begins, and knowing full well Mizuki won't attempt to land first blow against someone with the Gentle Fist martial art.
She launched a palm at Mizuki's abdomen, which was just barely avoided by Mizuki. Mizuki then attempted a kick at Hinata's face, only for her to duck from the strike. Hinata didn't waste any time afterwards. As soon as she got in position, she struck a chakra point on the right side of his hip, causing him to limp as he tried to move away. Hinata then attempted to strike a couple more chakra points on Mizuki's body, but every time she tried, Mizuki just slapped her hand to the side.
This came to an end however when Hinata struck a major chakra point on Mizuki's right shoulder, effectively weakening Mizuki's right arm. With Mizuki's right arm and leg weakened, it left the entirety of Mizuki's right side relatively open. She ceased the opportunity and landed a gentle fist strike at the right side of Mizuki's stomach, giving Iruka enough to say that she passed.
"OK that's enough… Hinata, you passed," said Iruka.
Hinata suddenly let out a breath she didn't even know she was holding and a look of relief glossed over her facial features. This then ended up turning into a smile before she said, "Hai!" She released all of the chakra points she struck on Mizuki before getting back up.
With that match over with, Hinata walked over to the side-lines, and right next to Naruto at that. Naruto watched Hinata as she came back. Striding in her happy and confident mood as she let out a beautiful smile. Her posture wasn't slouched, her fingers weren't fidgeting, and she wasn't looking down. And when she got to the sidelines, she looked at Naruto straight in the eye as she said, "Thank you, Naruto-kun."
This new, happy, relatively confident persona of Hinata was, new, to say the least… and secretly, he liked it… ALOT.
Naruto blushed a little bit at this, and said, "N-No problem, Hinata-chan."
"Hinata… Chan…" Hinata thought to herself in response, almost letting out a tear at the honorific. Overwhelmed since this one word is more progress than she made in almost eight years.
She then had to temporarily put those thoughts to the side, since now is about the worst time to faint. She managed to quickly nod before turning to face a direction in which Naruto couldn't see her face. Once in said position, Hinata gave way to a blush that encompassed her entire face, unknown to a Naruto who still had a light blush on his.
"Next up, Inuzuka Kiba, may you please step onto the fighting ring," Iruka said.
The Inuzuka let out a toothy grin as he jumped onto the battlefield. As soon as he got there, he put his puppy on the ground, and it snarled, signalling that it was ready for battle.
"Ready… Begin!" Iruka said.
Inuzuka Kiba, being the brash and restless one that he is, just jumped into action with his puppy. Kiba punched Mizuki, only for Mizuki to smoothly dodge out of the way. This was punished however by Kiba's puppy, Akamaru, biting his leg. Mizuki frantically tried to get Akamaru off his leg, but his lack of focus was punished by a punch in the face by Kiba.
Little did Kiba know the at Mizuki actually braced for the punch, so he didn't get knocked over, much to Kiba's dismay. Also the shock from the punch made Akamaru let go. Seeing that he had his mobility back Mizuki noted that from that point on, he had to keep track of both the human and the dog. This made combined attacks just about useless, which made the fight last far longer than it reasonably should.
Almost two minutes later, Kiba and Akamaru were panting, the man far more than the dog. Kiba had to put up an all out assault in the attempt to get the teacher distracted enough for Akamaru to strike, but this didn't lead to anything, so instead he changed strategies.
When they finished panting, both Kiba and Akamaru ran straight towards Mizuki and attacked together, hoping to overwhelm Mizuki to the point that one of them could land a substantial blow. This ended up working in the first ten seconds as Kiba landed a jab at Mizuki's jaw, which then transitioned to a knee to the gut, which Akamaru took advantage of to bite Mizuki's heel.
Iruka, feeling that he's seen just about enough said, "OK, that's enough."
"Inuzuka Kiba… you pass…" Iruka said.
Kiba let out a grin to that, and walked towards the side lines, where he stood to see the rest of the matches.
Before Iruka announced the next match, he walked onto the training court and hovered his hand just over the wound in Mizuki's ankle. From Iruka's hand, green chakra was released, slowly healing the puncture wounds in Mizuki's ankle. He then did the same thing for the wound on Mizuki's left calf, and then he left to the side-lines.
"OK, now, will Shikamaru Nara please come onto the Fighting Ring," Iruka said.
Originally, the lazy Nara thought maybe to just say 'No thank you,' but then he realized what his mom would do to him when she finds out, so he walked onto the field, and put up a lazy fighting stacs.
(This fight is the worst out of all the nine so I'll skip it in order to get to the juicy fights. Just imagine it how it would be like in cannon, except for slightly more physical training because Naruto is around during some of the father-son training sessions.)
Shikamaru finished just finished the match after over six minutes. The fight wasn't exciting to say the least… In fact, people were split between thinking that Shikamaru did the bare minimum to pass, to thinking that he didn't even really deserve it. But rules are rules, and Iruka said that he passes so he does, but the next match is expected to make up for the monstrosity of the last match.
"Next up, Uchiha Sasuke… May you please come onto the fighting stage," said Iruka.
At the mere mention that it was his turn, just about every female in the class were squealing and cheering Sasuke good luck, but Sasuke ignored them as he walked onto the fighting stage.
The Uchiha stared intently at Mizuki for a few seconds before entering the fighting stance of the Uchiha clan's Interceptor fist. This led to Mizuki entering his own fighting stance, staring at Sasuke. They remained like this, awaiting the beginning of the match, which came soon.
"Ready… Begin!" said Iruka.
Sasuke was the first to go, running at Mizuki with silent steps. Mizuki was expecting a punch so he blocked, putting his arms in an X position in front of his face. But to Mizuki's surprise, Sasuke didn't go for a punch, instead, he stopped himself at the last second and launched a kick at him, placed specially to where his foot bypassed Mizuki's block and hit him in the chin. From then on, Mizuki decided that he may have to go a bit harder on Sasuke and it turned into an epic match (In the perspective of all the fangirls of course).
With Mizuki seemingly reeling from the kick, Sasuke tried another punch only for it to be caught by Mizuki. With a smirk, Mizuki tried to punch Sasuke, only for Sasuke to lean out of the way, making the fist smoothly move past his head. Then Sasuke dropped to the ground and attempt a sweep kick, which Mizuki easily jumped over. But Sasuke was expecting this, so before Mizuki made it to the ground, Sasuke got up and jabbed at Mizuki's stomach, landing a solid blow.
Mizuki, having braced for it, didn't get the wind knocked out of him like Sasuke would've expected, and when he landed, he landed a blow on Sasuke's unguarded chest. With both Sasuke an Mizuki about two meters away from each other, they went back into a fighting stance, awaiting some opening.
"OK that's enough…" said Iruka, "Sasuke… you pass."
This predictably led to the squealing and cheering of about a third of the class and many people glad they won't be attending the academy next year.
"OK, may Uzumaki Naruto please step onto the fighting stage," Iruka said.
Naruto let out a smile that had the resemblance of a sadistic grin and walked onto the fighting stage, ignoring all the boo's that most of the class let out. When Naruto got there he paused for a second and looked at Hinata one final time before getting into a fighting stance. Mizuki did the same, but let out a smirk, feeling that this would be easy.
"Ready… Begin," Iruka said.
Mizuki immediately launched himself at Naruto and aimed a punch, to which Naruto just pushed Mizuki's arm aside. Then Mizuki kicked Naruto, to which Naruto simply caught his foot and pushed him back. Even that soon into the fight, the fact that Naruto wore a cloak while he fought got on his nerves.
"Time out," Mizuki said, "Naruto, take of your cloak, it's getting on my nerves."
"Oh… yeah, I guess it's a bit hard to fight with it in the way," Naruto said with an underlying tone of mischief.
So after he said that, Naruto then took the cloak off of himself, folded it neatly into a square and set it down in the middle of the battlefield. Mizuki thought this was another one of Naruto's ways to piss Mizuki off so he didn't even try to ask Naruto to move it.
"Kiba, may you please move the cloak off of the battlefield," Mizuki said.
"Hai-hai," Kiba said in a non-caring tone as he walked onto the battlefield to pick up the cloak… and he failed.
Kiba was surprised it didn't budge easily like how a cloak was supposed to, so he tried again… and failed. So he repositioned himself into a heavy-lifting stance and grabbed the cloak with both arms and lifted. But this time, even as sweat started to fall from Kiba's forehead, only the side of the cloak he was lifting came up, and only an inch above the ground.
"Sasuke come here, there's something up with this cloak," Kiba said.
"What, it's just a cloak, how hard can it be," said Sasuke.
"Just come and help me," said Kiba.
"OK, fine," said Sasuke in annoyance as he walked to the cloak.
He budged Kiba to the side a little as he grabbed the cloak, and lifted… and it just barely went up.
"You're right," Sasuke said, "Kiba, let's do this together."
"Right," Kiba said.
The rest of the class looked at them dumbfoundedly, it was a cloak, and two people had trouble lifting it!
Kiba and Sasuke each took a side of the square that the cloak was folded into, and started lifting. With their combined effort it came off the ground and they slowly walked over to the sidelines, leaving a trail of sweat in their wake. When they got there, Kiba's and Sasuke's hands slipped and it fell from about four feet up, leaving a mini-crater where it fell.
There was a varied reaction amongst the class. Most of the class looked in surprise, Sasuke and Kiba were too busy trying to catch their breath to give a reaction, Hinata had a look of admiration on top of her surprise and the Ino-Shika-Cho kids were smirking. But above all else, Mizuki was scared.
After basking in their reactions, Naruto put his hands in the ram seal and said, "Kai." When that happened, a small burst of chakra appeared from each of Naruto's joints, signalling one thing to the two chunin watching, a resistance seal.
"Oh Iruka, just wondering, can you restart the match? that 70 kilo (154lb) weight on top of the resistance seals kind of made it hard to move," said Naruto with a sheepish grin while scratching the back of his head.
Iruka only nodded, not trusting his mouth at the moment and restarted the timer.
When Iruka's voice came back he put his hand up and said, "Ready… Begin."
An instant after Iruka said go, Naruto was already at Mizuki's position, Mizuki doubled over in pain due to Naruto's hand being acquainted with Mizuki's gut. Not even a second later, he removed his hand from Mizuki's stomach and sent an axe kick onto Mizuki's back, causing a crater in the dirt ground even bigger than the one his cloak left.
"I'm not the one you through textbooks at Mizuki, and it was long past the time I got my revenge," said Naruto, his arms folded and looking away from Mizuki. His demeanor serious and slightly sad as he recounted the constant bombarding Mizuki gave him during sparring drills and the textbooks Mizuki threw at him when he fell to sleep in class.
Then he did a 180 both literally and figuratively as his face took a more positive and cheerful look as he looked at Iruka, enjoying the shocked look on his face.
"So… how did I do?" Naruto said.
"Hospitalized a counselor in 1.8 seconds, I believe this makes you the new record holder for both the shuriken jutsu and taijutsu tests," Iruka said, "in other words… you pass."
Naruto smiled at this before resetting his resistance seals and casually placing his 70 kilo cloak back on. After doing that, he walked back to the sidelines next to Hinata, where he stood there, partially oblivious to the fact that he just incapacitated the sparring partner and damaged the fighting arena.
Meanwhile, all the kids, and Iruka, were dumbfounded by what they saw. Naruto, the dead last of the class, hospitalizing a chunin and casually picking up what took both Sasuke and Kiba to lift off of the ground. But Naruto was ignoring the stares, and began talking to Hinata.
"So Hinata… enjoy the match?" Naruto asked, blushing slightly due to the wide-eyed stare that Hinata was giving him.
For an answer, Hinata just nodded in response, still to dumbfounded to actually speak coherent words.
"OK, I'll be the opponent for the last contender…" said Iruka, "may Ino Yamanaka please step onto the fighting ring."
"Hai," Ino said with a nod of her head as she walked calmly onto the fighting ring. She then got into her fighting stance, followed soon after by Iruka doing the same.
"Ready… Go," Iruka said right before he rushed at Ino.
Ino mirrored his movements, and the fight officially began. It started with Ino and Iruka bashing forearm to forearm. Despite Iruka not really trying, he weighed a lot more, so Ino got pushed back, but didn't slip. After holding it for a bit, Ino spun out of the way, causing Iruka to stumble forward. Ino took advantage of this and landed an axe kick on Iruka's back. This wasn't enough however, as Iruka managed to catch himself with one of his legs before he fully fell over. This ticked Ino off a bit, feeling that she should of gotten that, but that didn't distract her from dodging a fist barreling towards her face. Then came another punch which actually managed to graze her cheek.
This started almost thirty seconds of Ino on the defensive, until Iruka screwed up enough for Ino to kick him in the abdomen. Ino then fluidly twirled into a sweep kick which knocked Iruka over and then Ino placed her knee on Iruka, weighing him down.
"OK Ino… you pass," Iruka said. Ino brought her knee up, and that was everyone.
Iruka got up from the ground and brushed some dirt off of him before saying.
"I need to take care of getting Mizuki to the hospital," said Iruka, "so you guys have 45 minutes to get over to the forest arena for the ninjutsu test, do whatever you like in the meantime.
-(Hokage's office)-
In the Hokage's office, we see an old, grey-haired man taking a whiff of of his pipe and looking at the graduation exams through his crystal ball. This was the third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, looking into the Genin graduation exam after sensing Naruto's vast chakra reserves coming from the academy.
The aged Hokage smirked as he watched all of the surprised faces of Naruto's fellow students as he displayed his abilities. This was seriously entertaining to watch to say the least, and his blushing at Hinata…
"He finally let it out for the world to see huh? And during the graduation exam too," thought the Sarutobi, "He is truly something, beating me in both shuriken jutsu and taijutsu… Speaking of which, you probably deserved that Mizuki."
Hiruzen let out a small smirk, barely able to hide how proud he was of Naruto right now.
"I should treat him to ramen today, he deserves it," thought Hiruzen.
-(Ninja Academy)-
In the ninja academy, Naruto, Hinata, Ino, Shikamaru and Chouji are sitting together in front of the forest, having a lighthearted conversation to pass the time.
"So Naruto, Four years of disguise and humiliation to appear weak and you blow it on the last day… What a drag," said Shikamaru.
"Shut up, you couldn't keep it up for a week," said Naruto, "It would be too much of a drag now would it?"
"Yup, sounds about right," said Ino, letting out a toothy grin that looks like a cheaper version of Naruto's.
"You even dragged us into this… " said Chouji. Then his face turned into a grin before saying, "But the reaction of everyone was priceless."
"Yeah," Hinata said quietly, "They are still looking at you, Naruto-kun."
Naruto raised an eyebrow before looking behind him, seeing that Hinata was, in fact, right. Everyone was still looking at him, some in slight terror, some in astonishment, some in slight admiration, some trying to size him up, and then there's Sasuke, miserably failing to look like he doesn't care. And he enjoyed every last one.
"Yeah I guess so," said Naruto, "I guess it's not every day you see an academy graduate who can beat a Jonin." It may have seemed egotistical, but he felt like he deserved it after such a long period of hiding.
The Ino-Shika-Cho kids nodded in response, but Hinata was actually surprised.
"Naruto, would you really go that far?" said Hinata. Ino answered that one.
"Actually yeah," said Ino, "Before he turned seven actually." Hinata looked at Ino disbelieving.
"Yeah, sad story actually," said Naruto with a sad smile, "It was my seventh birthday in three months from then, and some ninja was sent to kill me. Later clarified to be a missing nin from Sunagakure."
"It was weird too," said Chouji, "When I heard the scream of an adult, I went in there and saw Naruto with fire surrounding him, and red eyes."
Suddenly flashbacks of Naruto saving her in that alleyway came up. The orange flames, the stab wounds, (and just about anything she could have seen looking at Naruto's back). Then it took a more positive note, seeing his face for the first time, his blue eyes, his confident smile, and asking for his name a second time as an excuse to see him more.
Hinata let a blush at that, much to everyone's bewilderment. But then Ino changed the conversation topic.
"So, Naruto, Hinata, do you guys like eachother or something?" asked Ino, "Don't think I missed those blushes earlier, so what's up?" Ino was mainly teasing Naruto with this, it was fairly obvious the shy Hyuga took a liking to the bold Uzumaki, but the the slightest feeling of the other way around was quite different.
"Did she just ask Naruto-kun if he likes me… DID SHE SAY HE BLUSH AT ME!?" thought Hinata, taking Ino's words to heart.
"No, not at all," Naruto blatantly said, "She is pretty, but that doesn't mean I like her that much."
"But alas, I guess it's not tr… wait… DID HE CALL ME PRETTY!" Hinata thought to herself, originally depressed but doing mental somersaults in her head by the end of it.
Her face was burning a deep shade of red as she thought about what Naruto said, which didn't go unnoticed by Naruto… just not in the way you'd expect.
"Huh, Hinata, your face is turning red," said Naruto, "Are you coming down with something, maybe today wasn't the best day for the test?"
Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji sweat dropped from that as they thought in unison, "First to finish the written test, has the sharingan to read a person's body language and enough of a tactical mind to take on my dad, but can't figure out Hinata has a crush on him. What a pain."
"No Naruto I'm fine… really," Hinata said as the blush started to subside.
*POOF*
A large poof of smoke suddenly popped into existence and when it subsided, Iruka stood there, with a neutral expression on his face.
"Everyone, we are at the area where we will perform our Ninjutsu test," Iruka said, "and since Mizuki is now in good hands, let's not waste any more time."
"The rules are simple, this is a test where you will show your aptitude for ninjutsu and genjutsu," said Iruka, "The pointing system is also simple: you will demonstrate ninjutsu and genjutsu. Genjutsu release, transformation and the clone jutsu are each one point. However, you need six points to pass, so if you make more than three clones we will consider it two points instead of one, and the rest of them you need to earn by displaying your own jutsus. Any questions?"
There were none, so Iruka decided to get started. (Again relevant characters only)
"Aburame Shino, may you please demonstrate your jutsus," Iruka said.
Shino simply nodded before walking right in front of the Iruka and prepared for a jutsu.
"Henge," Shino said before a cloud of smoke enveloped him, showing Iruka himself right there, perfect besides a nose scare a bit to small.
Then Shino put his hands in a different sign before saying, "Bunshin no jutsu." More smoke enveloped the area before we saw five Iruka's standing there. Shino then dispelled them and turned back into himself in time to prepare for the genjutsu test.
Slowly, Shino's world started spinning, people started looking distorted, and his depth perception started getting weird, and Shino knew exactly what this was… Genjutsu. So in order to respond to this, Shino put his hands in the ram sign and said, "Kai." With that, Shino's sight returned to normal, as if the whole genjutsu never happened.
"OK, that's four points, you have two more points to get," Iruka said.
Again, Shino nodded in response and made seven hand signs before, a log appeared in his place. Instead he was found next to a tree some fifty something feet away from Iruka.
"OK Shino, you have one more point to get, unless you would like to try performing the substitution in under 6 hand signs, in which you would get two points for," said Iruka.
"No, I have one more jutsu," said Shino. He then pointed his hand out and kikai bugs came out, and surrounded a nearby training dummy.
"Beetle Sphere!" Shino said as his bugs attached themselves to the dummy. "You can't see this now, but the bugs would be sucking out an opponent's chakra as of now."
"Ok, very impressive," said Iruka, "Anything else?"
"No sensei," said Shino.
"Well then, with D-Rank Genjutsu expulsion, four clones, transformation, eight hand sign substitution, and the Aburame style: Beetle Sphere, Shino passes with six points," said Iruka, "Next up, Chouji Akimichi." (I'm going to list out the points and jutsus for the rest, up until Naruto and Sasuke.)
Chouji Akimichi: D-Rank Genjutsu expulsion, two clones, transformation, nine hand sign substitution, Akimichi Style: Expansion Jutsu, Akimichi Style: Human Bullet Tank. 6 points
Sakura Haruno: C-Rank genjutsu expulsion, two clones, transformation, seven hand sign substitution, Genjutsu art: Visible Distort. 6 points
Hinata Hyuga: D-Rank Genjutsu Expulsion, three clones, transformation, Five hand sign substitution, Byakugan, Eight Trigrams: 16 palms. 7 points
Kiba Inuzuka: D-Rank Genjutsu expulsion, three clones, transformation, eight hand sign substitution, Inuzuka art: all fours jutsu, Ninpo: Nose of the Nin hound. 6 points
Shikamaru Nara: C-Rank Genjutsu expulsion, two clones, transformation, eight hand sign substitution, Nara art: Shadow Possession Jutsu (8 meter past shadow). 6 points.
Sasuke Uchiha: asked to go second to last.
Naruto Uzumaki: Asked to go Last.
Ino Yamanaka: D-Rank Genjutsu expulsion, two clones, transformation, eight hand sign substitution, Yamanaka art: Mind Transfer Jutsu, Genjutsu art: Hormonal uprise. 6 points
Now that everyone else did their techniques, the last two are going to go.
"Uchiha Sasuke, may you please demonstrate your jutsus," said Iruka.
"Hai," Sasuke said, fully prepared due to the fact that he recovered from lifting 35 kilo just earlier.
Immediately, Iruka cast a D-Rank Genjutsu on Sasuke, which Sasuke broke with ease. Seeing this, Iruka cast a C-Rank Genjutsu on him, which Sasuke struggled with for a bit before breaking, Iruka listed this as C-Rank Genjutsu release. Then Sasuke made the Transformation jutsu hand sign and turned into Iruka, perfect down to the last detail. Soon after, he got into the Bunshin no Jutsu hand sign and molded his chakra, causing a large poof of smoke. When the smoke dissipated, nine Irukas stood there for a few seconds.
When those seconds ended, Sasuke dissipated his jutsu, turning from nine Irukas to one Sasuke, he then made three hand signs before a log appeared in his place, startling everyone.
"Three hand signs huh," thought Iruka, "Impressive."
Sasuke then did a substitution with the log he substituted with to avoid walking and stood still for a while. When he stopped standing still he then flashed through the hand signs: Horse, Tiger, Serpent, Ram, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Tiger in under three seconds and made some sort of nozzle with his hand over his mouth. He took a deep breath in and then, "Katon: Fireball Jutsu!"
All of a sudden, a fireball slightly taller than Sasuke got launched at a nearby tree, turning the side that it his into charcoal.
"Sensei, I'm done," said Sasuke as he started walking towards the sidelines, ignoring the screaming fangirls and putting his hands in his pockets.
"With C-Rank Genjutsu expulsion, the transformation jutsu, nine clones, three hand sign substitution and Katon: Fireball Jutsu, you score nine-points, putting yourself at the top 2% in history for chakra based techniques for the graduation exam." said Iruka.
The fan girls were screaming with joy at this, saying things like, "THAT'S MY SASUKE!" and "I ALWAYS BELIEVED IN YOU!"
"OK WILL YOU GUYS CALM DOWN ALREADY!" Iruka screamed at girls again, so loud that his head grew bigger than the rest of his body, but this didn't deter the fangirls at all, so Naruto had to take extreme measures.
He released a wave of Killing Intent at the fangirls, effectively shutting them up. But Naruto was far too annoyed with them, so he increased the killing intent, causing the group to shake uncontrollably and collapse due to weak knees. With them unconcious, Naruto let out a satisfied smirk. The rest of the class would of done so as well if it weren't due to the fear of a man who knocked out twelve girls without even touching them.
"O-OK…" Iruka said, "Naruto Uzumaki, you requested to go last, so now it's your turn. May you please demonstrate your Ninjutsu."
"OK Sensei," Naruto said, "Just be glad I knocked out the fangirls, we'd go deaf listening to their complaining after I get first place."
Everyone gave Naruto a skeptical look, except Hinata, Ino, Shikamaru, and Chouji, as Naruto walked in front of the forest, and got ready for the test.
When he got on the field, he saw Iruka prepare a D-Rank Genjutsu, so he stopped him.
"Iruka Sensei," said Naruto, causing Iruka to stop, "try a B-Rank on me, you'll be surprised."
"You sure?" Iruka asked.
"Yeah," said Naruto, all the while hiding his Sharingan behind a subtle Genjutsu.
"OK," said Iruka as he went through 11 hand signs, "Genjutsu art: Tree Binding Illusion."
All of a sudden, Iruka slowly disappeared from Naruto's sight, which wasn't a surprise to Naruto. Then, a sprout came out from the ground, which quickly grew into a tree right behind Naruto's back. Then, appendages came out from the tree which fastened Naruto to the tree, but Naruto still made no move to struggle. Then came the last part, where Iruka's upper body sprouted from the tree right above Naruto, holding a kunai which he placed at Naruto's neck.
"Can you escape this Naruto?" asked Iruka from above him. Naruto answered this not with words, but action.
Iruka suddenly felt different, he wasn't holding a kunai at Naruto's throat anymore, but his arms were at his sides. He tried moving his arms, but he couldn't. Looking down, he saw himself held by a tree with branches wrapping around his being. He then looked straight to see Naruto with a cocky smirk on his face and a look of pride in his ocean blue eyes.
"Genjutsu reversal," Naruto said.
"OK Naruto, may you please let me go so I can document this?" said Iruka.
"Sure," Naruto said.
Just then, the tree dissipated behind Iruka and he recorded this with a look of slight shock on his face. This didn't go unnoticed by the class, but while they didn't see the tree, they knew Naruto was under a genjutsu that kept him still, and suddenly Iruka fell under that same genjutsu after Naruto escaped, claiming he did a "genjutsu reversal."
After Iruka documented that, Naruto made a single hand sign, and then he was a log. Iruka and the rest of the class started looking around until they saw Naruto sitting on the branch of a tree, baffling everybody.
"One hand seal substitution… Impressive," Iruka said, documenting it as a B-Rank jutsu because it was under two hand signs.
After that, Naruto switched back to his earlier position with the log, and made a hand sign, one that none of the students have ever seen. It resembled the ox seal more than anything, but was closer to a plus sign made by the pointer and middle fingers of both his hands.
"Shadow clone jutsu," Naruto said as puffs of smoke surrounded Iruka. When the smoke dissipated, Iruka saw that he was surrounded by fourteen Narutos.
"Yeah… High five Iruka sensei!" Naruto said as he ran up to him.
Iruka put up his hand uncaringly, expecting a prank like his hand passing through the clones, so it came to him as a surprise when the hand connected.
"Huh, I see you're not as much of a prankster anymore," said Iruka. To which Naruto just tilted his head to the side in confusion. "What I mean is that I thought you would use one of the clones so that my hand would just pass through yours."
"What are you talking about?" Naruto said as he took a kunai out, "I am a clone." To prove his point, Naruto just stabbed his wrist with the kunai, making him dispel.
Iruka and all of the students (again, despite the obvious three) looked at him wide eyed, never seeing a solid clone before.
"Is that what I think it is?" asked Iruka, rubbing his eyes.
"Yup, multi shadow clones, cool huh?" said Naruto… "And now the real party starts."
-Story Ends-
-EXTRAS-
This was Naruto's second option for stopping the fangirls.
"OK WILL YOU GUYS CALM DOWN ALREADY!" Iruka screamed at girls again, so loud that his head grew bigger than the rest of his body, but this didn't deter the fangirls at all, so Naruto had to take extreme measures.
"Pheromone suppressor release," said Naruto after making a few hand signs. Suddenly the girls started calming down, and looking at Naruto.
"Naruto, what did you do?" asked Iruka.
"Can you come a bit closer, it has to do with my tenant," said Naruto.
"OK," said Iruka as he walked closer, and put his ear near Naruto's mouth, signalling him to say.
"OK, do you know how all mammals give off pheromones that attract the opposite sex right?" said Naruto, to which Iruka simply nodded, "Well think of the Kyuubi, he's a gigantic, all powerful fox and gives off A LOT of pheromones, so I had to develop a way to suppress these pheromones in order to not get tons of attention wherever I go."
"So that means that now…" started Iruka.
"Yeah," said Naruto
(In the Inuzuka compound)
Hana was currently in bed, resting before the inevitable celebration for Kiba's graduation when her super powered nose caught a whiff of something, and whatever it was, it was "attractive" to say the least.
She sniffed the air once more, taking in the amazing aroma, and then got out of bed to pounce on whatever is making that enticing smell.
(Back at the Academy)
The girls' eyes started to gain a glint in them as the smell became more and more potent. So fearing something may happen, he was about to form the hand signs to re-apply the jutsu, but then he realized that he couldn't move his arms, and that he was on the ground. Looking up, he saw none other than Kiba's sister on top of him, keeping his arms on the ground, and a feral grin on her face.
"Hana, what are you doing here?" asked Kiba, to which Hana ignored.
Not so slowly more and more women including Yugao, Tsume, Anko and seemingly every teenage girl in Konoha started entering academy grounds, with glints in their eyes, and soon enough, everybody knew what was about to go down.
"NARUTO, IT'S TOO MUCH, TURN IT OFF!" screamed Iruka, panicking at what may happen to Naruto's (and maybe the other kids a little) after this.
"It requires hand signs, which as you can see, I can't do right now," he said, looking up at Hana to show this.
"So… what you're saying is…" Iruka started.
"Yeah," said Naruto simply, with a horrified look in his eye.
-Aaaaaaand… Scene-
