Chapter: 4

Naruto and the other Examine-es all stood in front of the Hokage in an arena all lined up, with a screen on the top part of the front wall. There were also balconies on each side wall with stairs leading up to them. The Hokage began his speech about what these Chunin Exams really meant and that they were a replacement for war. Naruto thought, 'This planet wouldn't have the need for this or war if they were a part of the Viltrumite Empire.' Naruto then looked up at the balconies to see the parents and senseis watching their children and students. He saw his jiji and smiled, but then thought, 'What's he doing here? I thought he would only be here for the final part of the Exam.' It was then that his attention was drawn back to the Hokage, "Now, before we go on further, we must start with Preliminary Exams as there are more contestants than usual and we must thin out the numbers." The were people starting to mutter to themselves saying thing like, 'No fair!' and 'This is bullshit!' The Proctor for the Preliminaries coughed and said, "Now, if you all will please start up to the balconies and wait until your names are called we will begin the matches." Everyone went up the stairs except Sasuke and some other Leaf Genin. The fights went on as normal except with Choji losing against one of Kabuto's teammates.

Meanwhile Naruto was talking to James about how he awakened his powers, "So jiji can you really train me now?" He chuckled and said, "Of course Naruto, but after you win this match first I will tell a few things I haven't told you about Viltrum yet." Naruto tilted his head to the side and before he could ask Kurenei asked, "Who are you? I don't think I've seen you around here before. And what are you talking about Viltrum?" He simply frowned deeply at her which was working because he was kind of a scary looking guy. He was about to tell her to mind her own business before he noticed the other parents and senseis looking at him in curiosity. He sighed and told them who he was and that he was an alien from a planet called Viltrum. They, of course, didn't believe him, but after they saw this next match, they would. The screen on the wall said, "Naruto Uzumaki vs Kiba Inuzuka" The others of the rookie 12 looked worried as Naruto jumped over the railing while Kiba did the same, "Hehe, yeah Akamaru! We got an easy one!" Naruto was already on the floor, narrowing his eyes at Kiba. Hajime, the proctor, began the match. As soon as he did, Kiba started trash talking, "So, you're a Viltrumte huh? Well you're either the most disappointing Viltrumite ever, or the Viltrumites are just pathetic." The rookie 12, minus Hinata and Shino, looked even more worried for Kiba. For Naruto what Kiba said hit a nerve. What did he know about him? What did he know about the Viltrumites? Nothing. He was about to put him in his place, "Well dog, why don't you make like your pet and sit. C'mon boy, sit." Kiba yelled at Naruto, "Shut up!" Naruto sneered at Kiba, "Let me tell you something, dog. You think you and your clan are hot shit? News flash, they're just ordinary ninja. Nothing special. So you have the ability to talk to dogs and have the nose of a dog and suddenly you think your on par with actual clans like the Uchiha and Hyuuga? No, what do you have? A pet puppy. You're weak Kiba, everyone around you either didn't notice or wanted to be nice and not say anything." Everyone looked on in shock at how hateful Naruto was being. No one except Sakura had ever heard him talk like this to someone before. Kiba was angry, scratch that, he was furious, and he was going to show this deadlast who the top dog was.

He sprinted towards Naruto who didn't even flinch and threw his fist at him. He made contact with Naruto's face and-*crunch*, "AHHH!" Kiba was clutching his now broken and mangled hand. He jumped back, not thinking and went through some hand signs and shouted the name of his jutsu, "Man/Beast Clone!" Kiba started spinning rapidly in the air as he said, "Gatsuga!" Naruto just stood there and let the jutsu hit him. Kiba stopped mid attack and clutched his fingers. They were broken, no way he could do any jutsu now. He looked at Naruto in bewildered shock as he just walked up to Kiba with Kiba slowly backing away. Naruto lifted Kiba up by his shirt and stared at him, "What was it that I said before? About only having a puppy as a 'special trait'?" Then, making it look easy, threw him to the wall making a *splat* sound and crushing the wall. "Kiba!" Hinata screamed. She was about to make her way down towards him before Kurenai stopped her, "Look, I feel the same way. But Kiba is ok, look." She looked and indeed Kiba was brutally beaten and broken, but he was still breathing, just unconscious. Hajime called the match and Naruto walked up to his jiji and started conversing with him as if nothing happened. Hinata was an absolute nervous wreck when she was called to her battle. The last battle between Naruto and Kiba didn't help. Hinata was starting to rethink her feelings for the blonde. Her fight with Neji was infuriating to Naruto. He didn't feel much for Hinata, but to him, Neji was just being a spoiled brat. Here he was having to fight tooth and nail for absolutely everything that he had and then this kid who has never known strife and has had almost everything just handed to him on a silver platter whining and treating his family like shit, simply because things aren't 'fair'. 'He had best hope he doesn't face me in these exams.'

After the fights were done they drew lots to see who would fight who and when during the actual exams. Naruto was about to leave to start his training with his jiji, when Kakashi approached him. "Naruto, how did you get so strong so fast?" He had only heard of what happened, he was too busy with Sasuke to see Naruto's fight. Naruto wasn't surprised. Naruto looked towards James as if to ask if he should tell him and he nodded. Naruto spoke, "So, me and my jiji are from a planet called Viltrum. Viltrumites look like humans, however we are naturally much stronger and faster. We also are very durable and we can fly. But the thing is we only get our powers after a certain age." Kakashi looked shocked. He almost didn't believe it. But after that display in the arena, he was inclined to think he was telling the truth. But Kakashi wasn't done, he heard some of the things that Naruto said and did to Kiba and he wanted to make sure his student was on the right path, "Look, Naruto, I know that I wasn't there for you in your childhood when you really needed me. And I also wasn't a great sensei to you. But I want to be there for you now, if you'll let me." Naruto did not care, really, he wasn't even mad anymore. But he didn't forgive him either, "Look Kakashi, I realize that you know you fucked up, but believe me when I say; I don't care anymore. I just want to be left alone. I'm going to go train with my jiji." Kakashi got desperate and decided to try a more forceful approach, he grabbed his arm quickly as Naruto turned around and said, "Naruto, as your sensei you will be trained by me and that's the end of that." Naruto just looked at him boredly and said, "Stop." and pulled his arm back so hard he accidentally flung him into an unfortunate man's cabbage stand, "My cabbages!"

Naruto and James went back to their house just outside the village and into their backyard which was pretty much just the woods, James began instructing Naruto by telling him the truth about Viltrum, "Naruto, It's time you knew the truth. So, on Viltrum we have created the perfect civilization, however it came at a great cost. We had to root out the weak from our society so only the strong remained. By the time we finished, our population was cut in half, but what rose from the ashes was unstoppable. We began to expand our Empire just after that. We eventually got to a point that our forces were spread too thin and our expansion stopped. We came up with a more efficient way to conquer worlds. We would send one of our most trusted officers to weaken a planet over time. That, is why I came here in the first place. After a few thousand years of doing this, we eventually came across another, almost just as powerful species known as the Otsutsuki Clan. They are strong in their own way because of a force that you call Chakra. They were looking for planets to siphon chakra from. Which is why we are currently at war with them. Physically we are more gifted but they have a wider range of attacks, however we have superior numbers so we're at a stalemate. We are recalling all Viltrumites so we can mount a good sized military force." Naruto was a little surprised at this but not for long since few things surprised him anymore, "When do we leave!" He said confidently. James chuckled at the boy's eagerness to help Viltrum. James said to him, "Not now, we have to get you ready for the real training in Viltrum first. To do that you have to prove to me that you can make it there." Naruto nodded his head with a confident grin on his face, "Then lets get started!"
