Chapter 17 victory among defeat?
-both dashed at each other with speed and power until they both came into contact and each did their attack at incredible speed that no one could see, both passing each other and ending at opposite ends they stood there without moving for few seconds, then Vaelstien fell to the floor and kurumi knelt in pain -
Vaelstien= well it seems I have been defeated...
kurumi= its over
vaelstien=i may have lost the battle but I am still victorious in the end...
Kurumi= wh...what?
vaelstien fell unconscious -
kurumi= what could he have meant by that? Anyways I better go see how the rest are doing
she headed over to the rest of the team to see how they were doing. Ino was still unconscious but not to badly hurt, naruto was traped and with an injured ankle but she freed him with a sonic boom blasting away the debris, hinata carried naruto while kurumi carried ino outside of the cave. Afterwards after sending a carrier pigeon to call for a recovery team to recover the bodies of the enemies, ino had recover conscious and performed her medical jutsu on her team mates. After the recovery team arrived and took the bodies of the thugs and their boss vaelstine. The team then returned to the village -
2 weeks and a half had passed and thanks to intelligence department they analyzed and extracted the information from the culprits brain, clearing up narcia's name and any doubt their might have been for her team. A week after, narcia finaly had woken up thanks to tsunade, naruto and hinata where happy to see her up and about but kurumi wasn't particularly happy about it she just showed a neutral emotion -
at a training ground one afternoon
narcia= work on those swings you two, your going to have to work harder for that month you got off from my training
naruto= yea!
Hinata= haiii
naruto and hinata continued doing their sword swing training -
narcia= those 2 are getting better and better uh kurumi?
Kurumi= yea sure...
narcia= is something wrong?
Kurumi= no im fine
narcia= all right
training continued for about another month and the chunning exams came up, all of the genning entered. Although naruto and hinata were suppose to have had a special mission to rank up it was not possible due to the insident that had occurred with danzo so they had to take the test with all the others. The first test was a written test -
-at the written test-
proctor= all right maggots for your first test you will answer a written tests you have one hour to finish it and depending on your score as a team you will advance to the next part of the test and for those with special 2 member team will have to score a very high point to pass so it will be harder for those teams. And don't let me catch you cheating understand? *wink wink* catch *wink wink* cheating.
Naruto= (thinking) oh man where so screwed I suck at written tests and whats worse if I fail so does hinata
hinata= -while looking at naruto- naruto do your best
protor= BEGIN!
all the genning begin their exams, meanwhile outside of the room where they were taking a test -
narcia= a written test uh? Naruto is so screwed, lets see how you're going to get out of this one.
-inside the test room -
hinata= (thinking) wow these test are extremely difficult, there's no way naruto can answer these, even I am having trouble answering these questions, I have got to find a way to help him with this but how?
-hinata kept thinking of how she could help naruto but she couldn't think of anything that could work, she concentrated on finishing her test first and try to get the highest score possible they still needed a high grade from both. After around 30 minutes into the exam the proctor speaks up -
proctor= listen well to what I am about to say, the test will be over in a few minutes those who score poorly will be removed from the chunning exams. For this last results we will allow 1 member of each team to pick a representative if that representative scores a high enough result the whole team passes regardless of the scores of the teammates.
Hinata= (thinking) maybe there's still hope after all for both of us to pass!
Proctor= however by choosing 1 representative that means that the other team mates will represent a very low chance to be chosen to become a chunning exam regardless if made it to the end of the exams.
Random person= what!? So if we chose someone and make it to the end we wont become chunning's annyway?
Proctor= no, you may become chunning but the probability are really low, you would have to do something that would make us regard you worthy of being a chunning, we wont tell you what that something is however.
hinata=(thinking) so much for hope... even if we choose me to represent our team naruto might not become a chunning in the end and that might end up depressing him more than just failing.
Proctor= decide withing 1 minute those who wish to chose a representative.
Hinata= (thinking) what should I do? If we don't chose me were likely to fail, but even if we do chose me, naruto might not get to be chunning either. I would prefer to be chunning with him... I wonder what he thinks of this.
hinata then looks to naruto and sees naruto raise his hands -
naruto= proctor I choose hinata to represent my team
hinata=what?!
Proctor= are you sure?
Hinata= but naruto you might not become chunning this way
naruto= yes I am sure proctor
proctor= very well
hinata= but naruto...
naruto= its ok hinata even if only you become chunning I didnt wana bring you down with me for failing
hinata= naruto...
naruto= hey don't put that gloomy face, I am still going to be hokage one day.
Hinata= ok naruto... if that's how you feel about it...
-afterwards the exam finished and thanks to hinata they bot passed the 1rst test. Hinata however was feeling bad for naruto, she knows how important his dream is and this is probably going to set him back more. However they continued on to the second test which took a few days but they both made it to the 3rd and final test to battle other ninjas to prove their might. Both naruto and hinata fought various foes and were being the crowd favorites until there were only 4 contestants left, naruto neji,hinata and kiba
naruto vs neji
proctor= will the next contestants please step up
-naruto and neji comes to the middle of the arena and face each other -
proctor= are you both ready?
Naruto= ready
neji= ready
Proctor= Begin!
-naruto jumps back and throws 2 kunais at neji but he blocks 1 and catches the other with 2 fingers, naruto then charges at neji with his fist but neji blocks it and pushes his fist to the side, naruto continues to throw fists but neji continues to block them by pushing them harmlesly aside, naruto then jumps and tries kicking him but neji dodges and hits naruto with a charka burst pushing him back -
naruto= blaaarg
-naruto spews out blood and does the shadow clone jutsu making 5 clones wich they all drew their swords and attacked neji, but neji countered them and defeated them without much trouble -
neji= is that your plan naruto? To send clones to stay away from my chackra strikes? Because if you think your winning that way you are sadly mistaken.
-neji runs fast towards naruto to strike but naruto tries his best to dodge, neji got in a few hits but naruto was able to dodge any chakra hits to his chakra network, naruto then summoned 100 clones to sorround neji and attack him but neji continued to counter attack them -
neji= you think you can hid from me with shadow clones?
-neji dashes from in between the clones to a certain naruto withing the crown and then strikes a chakra point -
neji= sending clones to fight me just to avoid my chakra strikes was futile because you stayed behind afraid of my strikes.
the clones started disappearing one by one slowly -
neji= you're the real one aren't you?
Naruto=...sorry neji guess again...
-the clone disapear -
neji= what another clone?
-2 naruto's appear behind him on the air with rasengan on each's hand -
naruto= sorry neji but im not a chicken like you think I am!
neji=hmmm
-neji began spinning -
neji=rotation!
Naruto= aaarrg
naruto and the clone got blown away by neji's rotation -
neji= nice try but cheap tricks aren't going to work
at the contestants stand with hinata -
hinata= naruto-kun don't give up you can do it, I believe in you
she gets a small puss on her back -
narcia= don't worry hinata im sure he will do fine
hinata= oh narcia-san what are you doing here?
Narcia= just thought I see how you two were doing
hinata= oh I see
-back with the fight-
neji= naruto why dont you give up? You cant beat me after all you're just a failure who graduated from the academy on sheer luck, and your luck ran out when I was your opponent, you are destined to lose.
Naruto= dont give me that crap neji, there's no such thing as destiny, everyone carves their own path forward and I will be hokage one day!
Neji= what a joke you think you can be hokage? Never. Only those destined can become hokage. Even I am destine to forever be nothing more than a lowly branch member while the main family gets to rule over us.
Naruto= say what you want neji but im going to be hokage one day!
-naruto then started being wrapped around the kyuby's chakra healing some of his wounds, and then he went on the offensive, both neji and naruto collided again and again, slowly neji wasnt slowing down not being able to read naruto's moves -
naruto= it may be the hyuga way to cave into destiny buts its not mine! If you think its futile to fight then don't just stand there and take it!
- naruto jumps and atacks from above with his sword -
neji=(thinks) quick must use my rotation
naruto= il change the way of the hyuga clan!
-both of them collided -
naruto= after I become hokage!
-nejis couldn't keep his rotation due to the immense power from naruto's attack, there was an explosion and after the smoke dissipated neji was on the ground and had a deep cut wound on the shoulder naruto was standing -
proctor= the winner of this match naruto!
crowd goes wild screaming while medic ninjas picked up neji and took him to the nurse station to patch him up -
naruto= yes I won!
naruto then headed back to the contestants stands and went over to hinata
naruto= I did it hinata !
Hinata= yes congratulations naruto-kun
naruto= thanks hinata !
-naruto then huged her and kisses her cheek without thinking which surprised her and made her blush
narcia= way to almost lose the fight -shoves naruto lightly -
naruto= hey I totally had it under control
hinata= *giggles*
Proctor= will the next contestants please come
hinata= its my turn
naruto= good luck hinata
hinata= thanks naruto-kun
-down at the arena -
kiba= all right I wont hold back hinata give it your all
hinata= I will
they both got in their own battle stance -
proctor= are you both ready?
Kiba= you bet
hinata= yes
proctor= all right BEGIN!
