The Konoha chunin exam finals are finally here. The stadium was packed and people were excited for the finals. Everyone made beats between each of the contestants. Between Naruto and Neji, Neji got 95% of the bets, while Naruto got some from Karin, Kin, Mei, Yugao and surprisingly Anko. "Where is Sasuke-kun?" Ino asked, looking at her crush. Everyone of the participants was there except Dosu, Sasuke and Naruto.
"I Hope he's ok." Sakura said in a depressed tone. The whole two months, she had not seen Sasuke at all and it was bringing down her mood. Ino picked up on this and rubbed her friends back.
"It's ok, he still has enough time." Ino said. "No one wants to miss him fight."
Sakura nodded. "Yeah, you're right."
"I know I am besides, we should cheer for Naruto." Ino said.
Sakura's eyes widened but frowned when she remembered her last encounter. 'There's no way he meant what he said.' "Yeah, you're right…wait, that baka isn't here either."
"It doesn't matter." Tenten said. "There's no way he can beat Neji. Neji is a genius.
Kurenai glared when she heard Neji's name. For what he did to her surrogate daughter. She was betting on Naruto and hoping the blonde humiliated him and trained hard enough to do it.
"Naruto, where are you, troublesome blonde." Shikamaru said to himself. It was not like Naruto to miss a match. He had faith Naruto would make it but he was wondering how he would do against Neji.
"It looks like the failure ran." Neji said. "He wouldn't have stood a chance anyway."
Gaara frowned since he couldn't find Sasuke or Naruto, especially after the event in the hospital room. The blonde seemed different but he would die nonetheless. Temari was scanning the opponents and she wasn't afraid of anyone but Gaara but the invasion would have begun when she matched up against him.
Hiruzen looked at the Kazekage and smiled. "I'm glad you could make it Kazekage-sama." Hiruzen said.
"Thank Hokage-dono." The kazekage looked over and was surprised to see Mei. "And who is this?"
Mei smirked because she knew who the kazekage really was. "Please to meet you, my name is Mei Terumi and I'm the Mizukage."
Orochimaru's eyes widened. He didn't expect the Mizukage to be here. But he doubts it could put a wrench in his plan. "Likewise."
"Now the chunin exams final match will begin. Everyone except for Neji and Naruto please leave the Arena." Genma other genins walked up to the balcony and Neji stood in the field. "Naruto Uzumaki, please come to the field."
"I'm already here." A voice said and a tornado appeared and when it disperse, Naruto was there. He was wearing a white jacket with black stripes and black cargo pants with white lines going down and a black muscle shirt underneath. He wasn't wearing his headband on his head but around his neck. He went from 4.9 to 5.2 and his hair was spikier and had bangs on the side of his face. The most noticeable thing was the bandages around his eyes. "I'm ready to begin, Genma-san." Naruto said, in a calm manner.
"Alright, what about you Hyuga-san?" Neji nodded. Genma nodded and raised his hand. "You may begin!" Genma jumped back.
Neji narrowed his eyes at Naruto. "What is the meaning of this?"
Naruto tilted his head in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"The bandages over your eyes? Are you perhaps injured?" Neji asked.
"No, my eye works fine but thanks for the concern." Naruto responded.
"Then why are you blindfolded? Are you insulting me?" Neji asked with anger.
"Not really, I only take these off if my opponent is worthy." Naruto said, trying to rile up Neji.
"Please, you're a clanless nobody and blinding yourself made you even weaker. You will not win this fight, fate already dictate me the winner." Neji said with confidence. "You'll be wise to surrender. I know ever move before you'll make it."
"You can see the future?" Naruto asked. "So know my next move? Naruto disappeared in a blur and appeared in front of Neji and lined his fingers up with Neji's chest. "Then how come you couldn't see this coming?" Naruto made a fist, channeling wind through it and Neji was sent flying to the stadium wall and slammed into it. "Over already?"
"Hardly, that was just luck." Neji said, seething.
"Did you see how fast Naruto moved?" Ino said with shock.
"I know, how did he do that?" Sakura asked.
"I recognized that move." Asuma said. "That was a flash step."
Kurenai's eyes widened. "But that move was created by…" Kurenai turned the blonde in awe. "The fourth."
"Excuse me Asuma-sensei but what is the Flash step?" Sakura asked.
"Flash step is a variant of Body Flicker that the fourth hokage made to use in battle. Body Flicker allows the user to travel a long distance but flash step is the opposite. It allows you to travel short distances and it is meant to evade or close distances in battle. There's just three requirements for this technique. 1. You have to have large chakra reserves to constantly use it, 2. You have to have close to perfect chakra control and 3. You have to have wind and lightning affinity since those two affinity revolve around speed, flexibility and control."
Kurenai looked at the blonde with a curious gaze. "I see, so if Naruto knows it, that means have all three requirements. I gotta say that's impressive."
"But how, Naruto always had poor chakra control out of our team?" Sakura asked.
"It's called training." Everyone turned to the voice and saw Kin, Karin and Anko. Sakura and Ino's eyes widen when they land on Kin. "What are you doing here?"
Kin sat down, with Karen following suit. "I'm watching Naruto kick pale-eyes ass. And thanks to him, I'm a Konoha nin."
"I'm sorry but there's no way Naruto can beat Neji. he's a genius and Naruto from what I heard is a deadlast." Tenten said. "After all, Neji is from the Hyuga clan."
"That may be true." Karen began. "But Naruto is from the strongest clan." Karin said, confusing the genin but surprising the jonin, except for Anko.
"What are you talking about? Naruto is not from a clan." Sakura said.
"Oh my bad, I didn't introduce myself." Karin said. "My name is Karin Uzumaki. From the Uzumaki clan of the land of eddy's."
The genin was shocked and turned to the sensei's. "How come we were never told about this?" Ino asked Asuma.
"Because of Naruto-kun." Karin said. "Apparently the hokage kept it a secret from him to protect him. Our clan was strong and peaceful people but we were also dangerous or that's what the rest of the world thought. During the second war, while Konoha was defending the village. Kumo, Iwa and Ame decided to destroy our village because of our knowledge in fuinjutsu and kenjutsu. I'm sad to say that Naruto-kun and I are the only ones left but during the siege, our clan killed 80% of the enemy's forces."
Asuma nodded. "And because of that, Konoha won the war."
"Wow, that's amazing." Tenten said. "Do you know any kenjutsu?" Tenten asked
"Yeah, me and Naruto both do." Karin said.
"What? Naruto doesn't know any kenjutsu." Sakura said. There was no way her baka teammate could learn kenjutsu. He was impatient and rash. She wouldn't believe it.
"Shut it pinky and watch. If you're lucky, you might see it." Kin said.
"Wow, gotta say. Foxy looks good." Anko commented. Kin and Karin looked at each other and smirked.
Neji climbed out the wall and dusted himself off. He charged the blonde with low chunin speed. Naruto smirked and crossed his arms forward with palms out. Neji thrust his palm at Naruto but Naruto twirled around Neji, getting behind him and palmed his back, making the Hyuga stumble a bit. Naruto jumped back and created two seal-less clones. Neji turned around and smirked. "You backed away and decided to hide behind your clones. It won't save you."
Naruto didn't respond. "Go." The two clones charged Neji. one of the clones jumped over the Hyuga. Neji thrust his palm towards the clone in front of him but the clone twirled to the side, the one behind him went for a sweep kick but Neji back flipped and landed behind the clone and tried to jab the clone. The clone crouched, avoiding the attack, surprising the Hyuga. The other appeared at Neji's side and for palm thrust. Neji barely avoided the attack and jumped back.
"How are you and your clone able to avoid my attacks, while blindfolded?" Neji asked.
"You must be a moron if you think I'll answer that." Naruto said.
"Fine, I'll force you to." Neji said as he charged the two clones. Neji attacks the first clone but the other one pushes Neji's arm away. Neji glared at the clone and tripped it, then jabbed at it. The first clone palmed Neji on the side, causing his attack to miss. "Enough!" Neji pulled the first clone towards him and jabbed his chest, making it poof away. He turned to the second clone and palmed it's chest, sending it backwards and destroying it. "There, those nuisances are gone."
"Wow, you took longer than I thought. Had a hard time?" Naruto asked.
"Hardly, those clones are as weak as you are." Neji retorted before charging the blonde but the moment he reached the blonde, Naruto disappeared. Neji turned behind him and saw Naruto standing far from him. "You're running away?"
"Please, I'm aware how dangerous it is to face you. But don't worry, I got you covered." Naruto said before creating four clones. "Go."
"Clones again? They didn't work before." Neji said but was surprised when the four clones disappeared in a flash step. Instincts kicked and Neji ducked under a punch from a clone. He attacked the clone but his arm was grabbed by another clone. A third appeared at Neji's side and punched his face, then the last clone appeared in front of Neji but didn't attack. Neji thinking he had an opening thrust his palm at the clone's chest, landing the hit.
"Boom." was all the clone said before it exploded, destroying the other clones. Neji was sent flying back with burnt marks on his body.
"What was that?" Sakura asked.
"Exploding clones jutsu. It's a type of clone that creates an explosion depending on how much chakra input you pour into it. And just like shadow clones, it can move." Karin answered.
"Where did he learn that? I have never seen that before." Sakura asked. Kin and Karin snorted at that, gaining the pinkette attention. "What?"
"Maybe if you didn't ditch him, you would have known." Kin said.
"I told him I didn't feel like it" Sakura said.
"Unless the Uchiha was there, you don't know this but Naruto was hurt by it. He doesn't even consider you a friend. He told us what he said to you. You didn't show up." Kin said.
"T-that's not true, me and Naruto are friends." Sakura said.
"Not in his eyes, he told us that you two are done. If you don't believe us, that's fine but answer this. Why would we lie to you?" Karin asked. Sakura didn't answer and turned to Naruto with a sad expression.
"Don't listen to them, forehead. Naruto will bounce back like he always does." Ino said.
"Doubt it." Karin, Kin and surprisingly Anko said. Everyone turned to Anko in shock. "What, the hottie tore off his mask, I know the kid always keeps his promises."
"Ise this all you can do? Make clones?" Neji asked.
Naruto tilted his head and smiled. "Well, I was just trying to prove I had what it takes to make chunin by learning your fighting, while forcing you to damage yourself."
"What do you mean?" Neji asked.
"Well, most people don't know this but when a Shadow Clone is destroyed, I learn what they learn and not only that, they're as strong as the original." Naruto said, making Neji's eyes go wide.
"It doesn't matter, you're still a weakling." Neji retorted.
"Really? Maybe it's about time we got serious." Naruto said before rushing Neji, with swirls of wind around his arm. "Rising storm!" Naruto uper-cutted and a tornado rises from the ground, sending Neji in the air. Naruto created two clones and tossed them in the air. Neji was twirling in the air as the clone reached his height in the sky. "Uzumaki Barrage!" Neji kicked to the ground by the clones, creating a crater as he slammed into the dirt.
Temari was amazed at how strong Naruto had gotten but what amazed her was the attack he just created. 'Months ago, he couldn't create a wind attack like that! It was as strong as my attack with two moons but he did it without hand signs and with ease. To think this is the same brat who used to wear the orange jumpsuit.
Gaara was watching the blonde closely. 'He's worthy, I will have your blood Uzumaki and neither you nor your demon will get in my way.'
"Wow, when could Naruto do that?" Ino asked out loud.
"That was impressive. To use a jutsu like that, I wonder if he could teach me?" Asuma asked.
"This is still nothing." Karin said. "Naruto is hiding so much more."
Hiruzen smiled alongside Mei. "Wow, he improved so much. I assume he used clones to train?" Hiruzen asked Mei.
Mei giggled. "Yeah, it was one of his greatest tools. Well, that and his endless stamina. I can't wait until we're married."
"Hey sensei. Am I late?" Jiraiya asked.
"You got here in time." Hiruzen said.
Jiraita sighs in relief and turns to Mei with a lecherous grin. "And who do we have here?"
"I Mei Terumi, the Mizukage and if you keep staring at me like that, I'll have to melt your balls off." Mei said with a scary smile.
"S-sorry, anyway. How's the Gaki- whoa! Is that the shrimp? He grew up." Jiraiya said in surprise
The 'Kazekage' was shocked that Jiraiya alongside Mei was here. 'First the Mizukage, now Jiraiya. I miscalculated.' He thought as Hiruzen told Jiraiya everything Naruto did to Neji. to say Jiraiya was speechless was an understatement.
"Wow, I'm impressed. The gaki was actually working hard." 'Now that he got some significant training, I can train him my way.' Jiraiya thought. He didn't notice Mei analyzing him with a small smile.
Neji got up out of the crater as Naruto walked close to him. "Give up."
Neji glared at the blonde and smirked. "You're a fool to defy fate and a bigger fool for getting within my range. "8 Trigrams: 64 Palms." Neji got into a stance and began to strike Naruto rapidly. "2 palms…4 palms…8 palms…16…32 palms…64." Neji didn't finish because Naruto exploded, sending him back.
"You should've paid attention." Naruto said, standing next to two clones. "When I hit you in the air. I made a clone and left it below. He walked forwards and you didn't notice it was me."
"It doesn't matter, I'm going to win." Neji said, struggling to stand.
Naruto shook his head and chuckled. "Why do you believe in fate so much?" the Hyuga clan's heritage of hatred. What people don't know is that the main branch of the Hyuga clan practices a secret ninjutsu, the curse-mark jutsu."
"So the Hyuga clan used Fuinjutsu and branded it on the lower branch? Why?" Naruto asked.
"The curse-seal is like a cage bird, wanting to be free. By that mark, we are bound to a destiny we cannot escape." Neji took off his headband and revealed the mark on his head. "I was branded with the mark when I was four years old and on that same day. Kumo and Konoha signed a peace treaty and we celebrated. But it was a secret undercover mission, they tried to kidnap one of our clan's children to gain the byakugan. That child was none other than Hinata-sama. When the kumo nin got caught, he was put down by Hiashi-sama but because we had no proof of the act. Kumo looked at it as treason and demanded an offering or it would've been war. Instead of Hiashi-sama, he offered up his brother, My father and he died that day because he was from the side branch. Because it was his duty, destined to serve the main branch and that's why fate is absolute. We cannot escape it no matter how much we try or want to. The main branch can kill us at any time and use the fear to make us obey them or we die."
Naruto closed his eyes and shook in anger. "I understand your hatred for seals. More than you know." Naruto lifts his shirt, showing his seal to Neji. "You see this, I'm tasked with a burden as well and because of this, I was hated by the whole entire village even though my sacrifice was used the day I was born to keep them alive."
"What's that seal?" Neji asked.
Naruto chuckled and shook his head. "You know what, I would usually be scared to tell you since I don't like being hated as much as I already am but since I made some friends who know of my burden and accept me, I guess I can tell you." Naruto said looking at Kin and Karin, then at Mei. who all started to blush. "On the day I was born, the kyuubi attacked the village and caused a mass amount of destruction. You can imagine the fear and sadness that was created that day. In order to stop it, the Yondaime had to seal it away since it was unkillable. Guess where he sealed it." the genin all gasp when they heard this.
"So is Naruto the Kyuubi?" Sakura asked in fear.
"Hardly." Karin answered. "The yondaime used a S-rank reaper death seal to seal the fox away. Naruto-kun has access to its power but his mind is safe."
"How do you know that?" Ino asked.
"Two reasons. 1. My clan is an expert in sealing and Naruto-kun's mother taught the yondaime. And 2. If he really was a demon, he would've killed everyone who ever mistreated him." Karin said.
"She's correct, people underestimate the power of fuinjutsu, but those that were aware wiped out the Uzumaki clan. Out of fear." Anko said.
"I see, too bad Naruto doesn't know any Fuinjutsu. I would love to see such techniques." Tenten said.
"Oh he does." Kin said, gaining the weapon expert attention. "He knows a lot more than what he is showing."
"Are you saying, he's still holding back?" Ino yelled.
"What the village don't know was, that if i ever died or comimit suicide. The kyuubi would be free." The civilians gasped in fear when they heard this. "They beat me, sold me rotten groceries, ignored me, called me a monster and sabotaged me in the academy. Even Iruka hated me for the first 2 years I was there. But I didn't give in, I kept trying to gain their acceptance. And that's what pissed me off about you, you gave up. You don't try to change things like Hinata. No you took all your anger and hatred, and threw it at her. You said you were meant to protect her but guess what, by trying to kill her, you were trying to change destiny." Naruto narrowed his eyes at the Hyuga and smiled. "But I believe you can change it, you are a genius and got the drive. Help Hinata unite the clan and prove to them that you're worth a damn because unlike me, you are not a failure."
Neji was speechless and gave a smile. "If you can win this match, I'll give you my word I'll change."
"Then I guess I better win." Naruto said before clapping his hands together. "Here's one of my own creation "Wind style: Cyclone dance!" five tornadoes formed from the sky and went toward the Hyuga. "Rotation!" Naruto started to spin in rapid speed as the Tornadoes collided with his defense techniques.
"Can't…Hold." Neji said. He was still in pain from Naruto's earlier attacks. Soon he was overwhelmed and the five cyclones became one and he was in it, taking multiple cuts.
"Time to end this. Cyclone dive!" Naruto said as the tornado shot in the air with Neji in it and dove to the ground, slamming Naji in the process. Neji coughed up blood and couldn't move.
"I guess I lose." Neji said, looking up to the sky.
"The winner of the first match. Naruto Uzumaki!" The crowd cheered. Naruto turned to Mei, who winked at him. Hiruzen gave him a nod of approval and Jiraiya just smiled. Naruto walked up the stairs and was greeted, to his surprise by Temari.
"That was an impressive match. I heard you say, you created those wind jutsu." Temari said. "I gotta say, you looked good without the orange."
"Yeah, it was difficult but my taijutsu is based on my wind affinity. Maybe we can trade Ideas sometimes." Naruto teased.
"Next match will be Sasuke Uchiha vs Gaara of Suna." Naruto snapped out of his thoughts and looked towards the arena. Gaara stood in the middle, irritated. Naruto rubbed his temples and shook his head.
"Not happening." Naruto said. Temari looked at her fellow blonde in confusion. "I'm not going to let him get away with this." Naruto said before using a wind shushin, shocking Temari.
"I got to ask him how he did that." Temari said.
Naruto appeared in front of the kages and bow. "Hey jiji." Naruto said.
"Naruto, my boy. Congrats on your match. It's rare to fight a Hyuga and come out unscathed." Hiruzen said.
"Yes, I was quite impressed." Mei said. Naruto smiled and approached the Mizukage and kissed the back of her hand. Mei blushed at the interaction. "What a gentleman."
Neko appeared and kneel before the hokage. "Hokage-sma, it would seem that Sasuke is not here."
Hiruzen rubbed his chin. "This could cause problems."
"Why won't we postpone the match. A lot of people came to see Uchiha fight my son. It'll be a shame to disappoint them." the Kazekage said.
"I disagree." Mei said. "This is not a tournament, this is the chunin exams. The genin was supposed to show us that they had what it takes to become a chunin. If he can't arrive on time, he's not worth it."
"Hmm, what do you think, Naruto-kun?" Hiruzen asked.
"I think he should be disqualified. It'll be seen as favoritism. They knew the time to be here and he decided to be late." Naruto said.
"If I may, I agree with the two." Neko said. "You have to treat everyone as equal."
'No, I need Gaara to force Sasuke-kun to use the curse-mark.' "but I came all this way to see the strength of the Uchiha." the Kazekage said.
"It's unfortunate but tell Genma that Sasuke Uchiha is now disqualified." Hiruzen ordered. Neko bowed and disappeared in a shushin. Naruto followed and disappeared to the stands.
Hiruzen watched as Neko appeared next to Genma and whispered in his ear. "Since Sasuke Uchiha has yet to arrive. He's now disqualified."
"What! They can't do that, Sasuke-kun needs to fight." Sakura said.
"Pssh, if he can't make it in time, he doesn't deserve to be here." Kin said.
"You're just mad because he beat you in the forest." Ino said.
"As if, I'm not petty like the two of you. I'm not going to waste my time waiting on the emo." Kin said.
"I agree, the duck butt shouldn't be allowed to continue because of his last name. Plus I'm interested in seeing what blondie can do if he was holding back." Anko said. "That last jutsu he used was awesome."
"I'll say, hopefully he'll give me some tips." Asuma said.
"There's no way that loser got this strong." Kiba said.
"Well, if he's a loser, that makes you dog shit." Anko said, making Kiba shut up in embarrassment.
"The next match will be between Shino Aburame and Kankuro of Suna." Genma called.
"I forfeit!" Kankuro said, earning a lot of booing from the crowd. "Damn assholes."
"Don't worry, I'll give them a show." Temari said, whipping out her fan.
"I'll look forward to it, Mari-chan." Temari turned to see Naruto, who was smiling at her. "Show the world the strength of a Suna kunoichi." Temari blushed and smirked.
"Just don't fall in love with me." Temari before throwing her fan. "Or on second thought, do." Temari jumped on her fan and glided down, while winking at Naruto. Naruto walked towards Shikamaru when he heard him say he was about to give up.
Naruto pushed him down into the Arenan. When Shikamaru landed on his back, he glared up at Naruto. "Don't glare at me, your mom could be in the audience." Shikamaru sighed and rubbed his head.
"Troublesome blonde. fine , let's get this over with." Shikamaru said. Naruto chuckled and smiled to himself. 'Time to show everyone that the legacy continues.'
*Fight is canon.*
"Next match. Naruto Uzumaki vs Gaara of Suna."
Gaara smirked sadistically and appeared in the Arena in a swirl of sand. "Where are you Uzumaki? Mother needs your blood." Gaara said. Mei stood up and walked towards the edge and pulled out three Tri-plonge kunai and threw them.
"Here he comes!" Mei said, gaining the attention of everyone. The kunai land on the ground in a triangle shape. The older generation gasped when they saw the familiar kunai. In three orange flashes, Naruto appeared in the Arena, wearing a white hyori with orange flame instead of red, wearing a gray vest underneath.
"Naruto Namikaze has arrived." He said, earning a gasp from the crowd. A lot of the females were blushing up a storm and eyeing him more than ever. Kin and Karen giggled a bit while retaining their blush. "Now let's dance."
"Not only he's a wind user like me, he's a jinchuuriki like Gaara and a son of his village yondaime. Hmm, well every princess needs a prince and looks like I found mine." Temari said.
"The gaki a bad-ass. He's the son of the yondaime, dang Kakashi fucked up." Anko said. "I wonder if I have a chance." Anko asked out loud.
Kin chuckled. "I put a word in for you." Kin said, gaining Anko's attention. "Karin and I are already dating him and he needs to revive his mother clan."
"Who's his mother?" Choji asked.
"Kushina Uzumaki." Karin answered .
"What? Kushina-sama is his mother. Damn, if I knew that. I would've put him on my team instead of Kiba." Kurenai said.
"Wow forehead, I can't believe you have two amazing teammates. You know what, you can have Sasuke. Naruto is mine." Ino said.
"Huh? But.." Hinata started.
"Don't worry, he's in the C.R.A. I'm sure he won't turn down two beautiful girls." Ino said.
"He will if we tell him no." Karin said. "Naruto-kun is not going to hook up with just any girl. He doesn't want a fan-girl or anyone who wants him for his status. And he told me how you treated him in the academy, Ino san."
"At least he's not a pervert." Kurenai said.
Naruto and Gaara were staring and smirking at each other. "Uzumaki, Mother wants your blood and she will have it. You will prove my existence."
Naruto just chuckled. "Listen Gaara, that's not how this is going to go down. We will fight like monsters, throw fist here and there but the end result of this." Naruto summoned his mother's katana and unsheathed it, pointing at Gaara. "You will be beaten up to a pulp, cut up with bruises and bathing in your own blood, face to the ground beneath my feet."
"I'm so turned on." Anko said out loud. Making everyone blush. Gaara started to radiate k.i and his eyes turned yellow. Naruto matched it and took off his banages, revealing eyes turned crimson. Genma was about to start when a swirl of leaves appeared between the two jinchuuruki, revealing Sasuke and Kakashi.
"Are we late?" Kakashi asked with an eye smile.
