The end of the Third Year had come, and today was the day that Naruto and his friends would be tested and become Shinobi.

Naruto was beyond excited

This was the day that all his hard work would finally be tested

Even though the Academy test was simply to preform a Clone Jutsu, Naruto had been told by Kakashi that here was another great test after that.

Speaking of Kakashi, His life had truly changed over the past couple of years.

His strength had skyrocketed with the help of The Uchiha Scrolls, He had learned some very powerful Genjutsu, and had learned more about the Sharingan in general.

And with access to the Jutsu of the Uzumaki clan, and his work in the Anbu, Any Jutsu that didn't require a Bloodline he has copied.

He had truly earned his moniker.

Copy Cat Ninja, Kakashi of the Sharingan, The man who has Copied over a 1,000 Jutsu.

But apart from his strength, Kakashi had also grown as a person.

He had left Anbu earlier this Year, and had been given the title of Jonin, which Naruto knew was so he could become his Jonin sensei once he graduated.

And lastly, His Relationship with Anko had moved forward.

And unfortunately for Naruto, His enhanced sense of hearing and his Passive Chakra sense had caught the noise of them having 'physical relations', and also the uncontrolled flair of chakra that was filled to the brim with the emotions of passion and lust.

It was uncomfortable, but the next morning when Naruto teased the two and made Kakashi blush and Anko storm off in embarrassment, it was all worth it.

As Naruto sat there in the classroom, waiting for his name to be called for the examination, his eyes wandered over his friends.

Naruto was amazed at the progress each of them had.

Shikamaru had surpassed Naruto in Seals, making him very tricky if he had time to prepare anything. And with his arsenal of Techniques, that now included both Fire and Wind release, he was more than ready to become a Genin in Naruto's opinion.

And in a shocking turn of events, it seems that the Nara had been hiding something from the village.

A summoning Contract.

Specifically for a tribe of Deer that lived deep in the Nara forest, and often used Genjutus to hide from the gaze of humans.

Apparently Shikamaru had asked his father about summons, since he saw how effective Skoll was as an Ally in combat for Naruto.

And Shikaku had decided to reveal the secret to him.

So now Shikamaru had a Small tribe of Deer Summons, which had actually helped his combat potential massively, since the Antlers of the Deer he was riding could be used as Shadows for Shikamaru to control, And with his amazing mind and ability to think ahead, Shikamaru had proven himself as a Nara Genius. Even though he would rather just have around, Ino and Naruto wouldn't let him.

Moving on, Ino had progressed as well.

Her Medical Ninjutsu had come along very nicely, and she could now heal more serious injuries, like a stab wound to the stomach or a broken bone. And with her Water Release bolstering her combat Abilities, she had become a very capable shinobi.

For Choji, while not progress was made in terms of bolstering his potential, was still a powerful combatant. His clans Size altering jutsu could come in very handy when outnumbered, and with him also learning Earth release, he had become an unbreakable tank for most.

Sakura had the most improvement. Her training with Gai had made her into an Unstoppable force, she had rocketed up past every Academy student, and she could even compete with Kakashi if she wane tall out. And above all else, Her Medical Ninjutsu had was something to marvel at. She was capable of the things Ino was, but just a little but more as well.

While she was far from reattaching limbs, if a limb had been nearly severed, and was still somewhat attached, then she could save it if she was left to concentrate and put everything she had into it.

Applying this to her Taijutsu, she was able to take some massive hits, and still stand like nothing had happened.

And after training with Gai, He had introduced her to his other personal student.

Rock Lee, a Genin who was 1 year our Senior, and had a rare case of extreme lack of potential.

While Gai described him as a Taijutsu genius, Ninjutsu and Genjutsu were just out of reach for him, as he was unable to perform even a Clone Jutsu.

The two had hit it off immediately as training partners and friends. They could go all out, destroying a massive part of the wild land, and still come out of it smiling and complementing each other.

And even tho Sakura couldnt see it, Naruto could tell Lee had fallen for her.

But as he had little experience with such things, Naruto would just silently root for him from the side lines.

Hinata, had progressed as well. Her use of the Byakugan had led her to replicate her Sealless jutsu casting, for other techniques other than Water bullet.

Her control was the highest in all the group, and while in the safety of the Tournament seal, she was capable of some terrifying things.

Fenrir and Kakashi had offered to teach everybody interrogation techniques, and while Hinata was apprehensive about using anything like that, she eventually cms around, saying that just knowing it and not having to use it is better than heeding it and not having it.

And it was here that she had actually drowned me and Kakashi, using Her Byakugan to paralyze us and then she filled our lungs with water.

She wasn't very happy about doing it, and apologized a lot afterwards, but it was definitely an eye-opening experience for Naruto.

His innocent friend, who only wanted to help people, was truly capable of some amazing things.

Lastly, there was Sasuke.

Sasuke had been relentless in his training, much like Naruto.

And had been training to the point of exhaustion on almost every day, only taking saturday and Sunday off because Fenrir and Naruto both agreed that it wasn't healthy to train like that and have no rest.

But his progress was staggering.

He was definitely ready to become a Genin, and Naruto would bet everything he had, that he could get Chunin.

His Sharingan had progressed, going from a one tome to a two tome over that last year.

Naruto wasn't very sure what this meant, but Sasuke and Kakashi were both very proud that Sasuke had done it,

Sasuke's Kenjutsu had also progressed well and when he used it in combo with his potent Fire Release techniques, he was a force to be reckoned with.

But Naruto was spilled from his thoughts when his name was called to preform the Academy Graduation Test.
