Chapter 71: Chapter 71 : Missing Peace (Rewrite)
Kirito stays with Jiraiya and talks with him for a long time. They were talking about Minato in his childhood or how Jiraiya used to teach Minato. They also talk about Kushina when she first came to Konoha.
Naruto was still doing the summoning practice. Jiraiya today chance Naruto's practice a little. He only let Naruto use the summoning technique with the Nine Tail chakra.
Kirito did not care about this but he created a clone to look after Naruto because he remembered that Naruto was pushed into a deep earth crack by Jiraiya. In the anime, he was able to save himself in the last moment but still, Kirito does not want to take any chances and thus he will have a clone look after Naruto at all times until his training with Jiraiya is done.
In the end, Jiraiya did not have anything more to teach Kirito. The only thing which Jiraiya could teach Kirito right now is Sage Mode but according to him, Kirito is too young for that.
Kirito greeted Jiraiya and Naruto and then left the training place. Jiraiya too did not stop him because he do not have anything currently that he can teach Kirito.
After getting out from there, Kirito went towards Konoha playground, thinking of getting some downtime before getting back to work.
While walking in the village he also saw many of his peers training for the upcoming chunin exams. Then he went to the hospital to visit Lee.
Lee just like in the anime has lost to Gaara and is currently in the Hospital. Kirito is not sure about his injuries right now but it should be bad just like in the anime.
When he went to meet Lee he found Lee sleeping and no one was there to meet him at this time.
"Well, I guess I did come at a weird time." thought Kirito.
After getting out of the hospital, Kirito went to eat some ramen. He does not love ramen like Naruto but for casual eating, it is good enough.
"Man, I should open a Western food cafe or something. Not only do I have money which I stole from Gato but I too also again want to eat burgers and cola," Kirito complained.
After wasting the entire day, he went to the top of the Hokage monument and sat on the top of his father's head.
"This world seems more and more real the more I interact with it," said Kirito not hiding his thoughts and voice.
He already knew that no one was there beside him thanks to the Hyper Focus.
"It's funny that I only know the first 17 years of this world but at the same time, how much happens in just 17 years," said Kirito.
"What after the war is done? What should I do? I never thought about this" said Kirito looking mindlessly towards the village he had always seen in the anime and manga before and now he is living in this exact village.
"It's really weird how humans do not show gratitude for having something until they lose it," Kirito said.
"Before coming here, I might not realize but sooner or later I come to miss those carefree days back in the earth.
It was nice to only be worried about rising Taxes and some relationship and Job-related issues.
Maybe one day I might be able to bring those same days back for the next generation here. Maybe that is how people from Earth feel like when they were suffering from war and conflict." said Kirito.
"Well, enough time wasting. Now I need to make sure that I take care of Danzo and tell the world who I really am. Not to mention there is also the Konoha crush plan. I need to make some plans for that too" said Kirito.
With this said Kirito went to his home.
While Kirito was not thinking too much about the chunin exams, others were different. They were working really hard and becoming stronger.
Maybe the most hard-working person among them was none other than Neji. Kirito although hardly cared about the chunin exam did send some clones to spy on others.
There were mainly two targets. Neji and Gaara. One he will be fighting and another he might have to fight if things went just like in the anime.
Things were going just like in the anime and days kept passing at their usual speed.
Kirito was almost done with his planning.
He already has the layout of the new base of Danzo and he already has sent many clones disguised there to activate his plan.
Soon the days passed and the day came when Kirito was about to activate his plan.
This was just one day before the chunin exams.
He was about to act in the night and thus he just watched Danzo's moment in the morning. He was also watching powerful Ninjas in the village like the Hokage, Jiraiya, Guy, Kakashi etc.
The last thing he wanted right now was the interference of a third party.
Soon the day passed and finally it was time to activate his plan.
He immediately makes a clone replaces himself and flashes out of his home.
He came to a secret location and took all the important items which he prepared for this plan beforehand.
He then wears a mask and changes his appearance. Under no circumstances he could let others know his true identity.
This time around he is not only going to kill Danzo but the entire Root Organization. He has to be perfect with his plan, otherwise, he might not get this kind of chance again.
"Time to take care of the garbage," said Kirito and flashed out. (When I say flash it means Hyper Speed and the flash of light it creates. Please don't misunderstand me here,)
Chapter 72: Chapter 72 : Assassination 1 (Rewrite)
Kirito's plan was simple yet effective. The idea was to plant multiple seals which take care of the root inside Danzo's hide out and then ambush him inside.
The current Root base was not near the Village. Because the last base was destroyed by Kirito. Danzo had no other way but to move outside the village and create a base out there.
It was not very far but still not in the immediate resident of the village. This gave Kirito enough room to use some more destructive force to complete his task.
He already has set up all the necessary seals inside the base with the help of his shadow clone with all the time he had in his hand in this one month.
With all the information he has collected over a month. Danzo currently has more than a hundred Root shinobi under his command. And he has around 7 shinobi guarding him.
The outline of the base, in almost every possible entry of the village, has around 2 to 5 shinobi guarding it.
He is not going to use the entry of course but he needs to take care of the entire Root here and thus he will be killing even those Shinobi.
Kirito quickly created 20 shadow clones. The first target is to completely eradicate the Roots which are outside the base. And do it in a way that they don't alert the Roots which are inside.
He already simulated this by giving them a false alarm when he was gathering information. His motive was to find out how they react and how they will connect with the Root which is inside the base.
Kirito found that there are 2 ways for this root to alert others about an invasion or an attack. Either one of the roots will report this directly or there is a particular hand sign which flares a chakra signature to alert the Root inside and the Danzo.
This means Kirito have to kill almost all the people outside before they can make the hand signs.
Thus he created 20 shadow clones. Soon all the shadow clones were in the position and were about to attack.
Kirito did not have any seal on the entrance of the base. He could not because Root ninjas are always near the entrance. So the only thing he could do was to use his Hyper Speed to reach the Anbu. It was tricky, to be honest. If he is not fast enough then the entire plan will end before it can even start.
With a quick sign from the real Kirito, all the clones who were in the position threw their activated Hyper Speed and lightning cracked around them and then rushed towards the Root ninja.
In the next second multiple Kirito appear near all the Root shinobi and cut them down without mercy.
Kirito's biggest problem here was the Hyuga members in the Root. That is why he needs to attack from afar. Good thing that he had something to counter their vision on a temporary basis otherwise this would never have been possible.
Taking care of the Root shinobi who is outside is just the first step. Next, he has to simultaneously kill all the Roots until he reaches Danzo. But while his shadow clones take care of the Root members, He himself will go after Danzo.
He already did extensive research and although he is sure that he don't have all the detail about this base he has enough sealing talent to block all the possible route, which Danzo can use to escape.
"Alright guys, Release the Gas. Remember that we will act in the next 45 minutes," said Kirito and all of his clones turned themselves into Root shinobi and started acting like the Root. At the same time, they also release a special gas which will weaken the Root inside the base. It will take some time for the gas to take effect and thus he has to wait for the next 45 minutes.
While gathering information, Kirito knew that Danzo pretty much lives inside the Root base but he does sometimes go to his home. Unfortunately, today was not the day when Danzo was visiting his home. Otherwise, that would have been too easy but it does not matter.
Because the last time Danzo visited his home, Kirito had a chance to place a seal in the root base near where Danzo usually sits.
That time he was able to put a storage seal on real Danzo. This was also carrying the same special gas which Kirito obtained from his father, note.
Soon after around 40 to 45 minutes, Kirito finally felt movement inside the root base. Any normal ninja will take around that much time to find out the problem in their Chakra network.
Kirito immediately opens his Hyper Focus and senses what going on inside the base. Everything was as he expected. Danzo has ordered others to check out what going on and soon the ninja will be here.
"Good, they are coming. Make sure that all the traps are ready and that you take care of all of those roots. I will be taking care of Danzo Now" said Kirito and then he rushed inside.
The shadow clones were also ready and immediately started to take action.
Chapter 73: Chapter 73 : Assassination 2 (Rewrite)
Danzo was sitting in his root base and was having a bad feeling. He is not sure what he was having this feeling but he knew that something is wrong but he could not pin point what exactly is wrong.
He wanted to send his root shinobi out to see whether his instincts are right or he is just dreaming but he did not as he was again not sure whether to look.
For a long time Danzo felt the same. But it was after around an hour or so that he started to notice the difference. Everything started with his chakra. He found that he is having a problem controlling his chakra.
There was also a breathing issue that he was facing. At this time he thought that it only happening to him and that this might be something happening because of the first Hokage cell which he integrated inside him. But at the same time, there is also the two Sharingan which he installs in his arm.
But soon this his this idea chance as soon as he saw his Root shinobi also having the same issue as him.
He quickly took action.
"Quickly go and see what going on outside" said Danzo.
Soon the root people went out but then something weird happened.
In front of all the Root shinobi who left after Danzo send many of them to go out and check what's going on outside. Danzo's image flicker and then suddenly all the momentum Danzo was showing quieten down.
Then he simply close his eyes and kept sitting his is position.
What they don't know that the person now sitting in front of them is not Danzo but rather Kirito's clones who he transforms into a Danzo.
Kirito did this so Root don't use some other means which is outside his plan when seeing Danzo not being there. The real Danzo at this time was teleported to another location altogether.
I am not sure what happened but I suddenly felt a chakra enveloping me and then I was here.
"This place is not Konoha" I mutter without thinking anything.
While I was wondering I also notice a barrier. I was inside this barrier.
I knew something is not right. I knew that thing will happen but never thought that someone will teleport me from Konoha to here.
Could this be a Genjutsu? I am having a problem using my chakra but I its not like there is a disturbance.
"Welcome, Mr Danzo. I was waiting for you" said a person in a mask. This person was were very similar to clothes he have seen people used to wear in the second shinobi war.
"Who are you," I ask, Vigilant and trying to understand what going on here.
Kirito teleported Danzo to a hidden place he prepare especially to fight Danzo. He already have set up a barrier in around so Danzo can't run away while Kirito also filled the entire place with the special gas so Danzo get infected even during the fight.
Kirito of course have a antidote and could fight Danzo with his full power.
"Who are you" ask Danzo already infusing chakra inside his body.
Kirito thus smiled internally and said.
"I am someone who hoped to bring peace to this lawless land" said Kirito.
Danzo did not make any reaction to this and kept talking.
"What do you want from me" ask Danzo.
"I want your life if its not a problem" ask Kirito with a smile but of course because of the mask, Danzo was not able to see the mask.
This made Danzo more tense and ready for a fight.
"You know that you will be hunted by Konoha if you kill me right," said Danzo trying to convince the unknown man to change his mind. He was not afraid but he had no information on the masked man in front of him and this might be troublesome if they ended up fighting. Maybe he even has to use his trump card.
"They won't. They won't because he they will never know who kill you. In fact, they will never find your body" said the masked man.
"Why do you want to kill me" ask Danzo.
"Just like I said. I am trying to bring some peace and order to this world and you Mr Danzo is someone who is causing me problems. You done many shady things in the name of Konoha. I might understand your patriotism but this does not explain you misdeeds." Said Kirito.
Danzo did not say anything. He knew that the other person will not change his mind. Because the amount of preparation, the other person have done here is enough to say that he is fully prepared to kill him.
"I see, then I might as well stop your problem here and now" said Danzo and immediately remove his hand from its covering.
Kirito could two Sharingan in Danzo's arm. Then came the momentum of a Kage-level shinobi to him.
"This power, its not as much as Orochimaru but till, noticeable when compare to Zabuza." thought Kirito.
Kirito easily took care of Zabuza but when fighting with a mid-kage level shinobi like Orochimaru or Danzo. He could feel the pressure on himself.
Danzo then did quick hand signs and send a powerful wind-style jutsu towards Kirito.
"Wind style, great wind breath thought" shouted Danzo and a powerful jutsu came towards Kirito.
Kirito did not do anything, and soon the wind attacked him.
But to Danzo's surprise, the person in front of him was just a shadow clone and it pop away the moment the wind hit him.
"For a person who has so many eyes you are surely blind," said Kirito.
Danzo heard a voice coming from his back and quickly turn back and but he did not know that Kirito was much much faster than him. He already have set up many Hiraishin tags in this place and thus he has incredible mobility.
Kirito quickly dodges all the backhand attacks which Danzo throw towards himself and shot.
He did not intent to attack but what he did was more troublesome for Danzo.
Kirito took out Danzo's eyeball out. This was an extra Sharingan that he was hiding behind his bandages. besides the two Sharingan he has in his hands. This one is the third.
Danzo staggers back with this extremely powerful attack.
"One down and two more to go" said Kirito.
Chapter 74: Chapter 74 : Assassination 3 (Rewrite)
Kirito took out Danzo's eyeball. This was an extra Sharingan that he was hiding behind his bandages. besides the two Sharingan, he has in his hands. This one is the third.
Danzo staggers back with this extremely powerful attack.
"One down and two more to go," said Kirito.
Danzo at this point was very cautious of Kirito. He now also knew that this masked man already knew some of his abilities. There is a possibility that he even knew that he also had another Sharingans in his hand.
But he could not think more as the man shot again towards him. Danzo immediately backs off and makes hand signs.
"Wood Style, Deep Forest Emergence" shouted Danzo.
And soon like the earth itself was shaking, many trees started to sprout out and directly went for Kirito.
"Too slow," said Kirito to himself and rushed towards Danzo.
He was not joking either. Wood style is slow and Danzo's wood style is not very powerful. It's not only slower but at the same time it's not a very large-area attack. This means dodging the attack is pretty easy, especially for Kirito with his speed.
Kirito easily dodged the attacks went directly behind Danzo and used a kunai to cut Danzo's neck.
The moment the kunai connected, the Danzo in front of him popped away.
"Tch, Shadow Clone" mutter Kirito.
"Wind style, wind cutter" a voice came from his behind.
He quickly turned around and saw a powerful blade of wind coming towards him. He had no chance to dodge and was hit by the attack.
The body was launched back by several meters before hitting the ground.
Danzo finally came out and said, " You are too early to fight with me," said Danzo.
But he did not realize that he had already let his guard down.
Suddenly his eyes widened and he tried to move but it was already too late. As a powerful Rasengan was already grinding on his back.
This sudden sneak attack was so powerful that it immediately broke Danzo's backbone and destroyed his internal organs.
Danzo had no other way but to use Izanagi here. Soon Danzo came back to life looking like he was going to repeat the Uchiha massacre again.
"You have become Rusty Mister Danzo. Seems like years of giving orders and doing things from the shadow has made you forget how to fight for yourself" mocks Kirito.
He was not joking. Danzo used to be a Kage-level shinobi at one point but right now he is definitely not. The only thing which makes him kage level right now is that he has so many hidden cards on him. But in front of a person who already knows his powers and abilities like Kirito, those hidden cards are nothing but cheap tricks.
Danzo looked towards his hand and he saw one of the two Sharingan eye closings. He gritted his teeth and looked towards Kirito with Murderous intention.
He just wanted to kill this person in front of him but he was already having problems in breathing and infusing chakra.
"You are panting Mr Danzo. So humiliating for someone who calls himself the darkness of shinobi." mock Kirito again.
Danzo narrowed his eyes and Kirito was still enjoying this moment. Danzo did not wait for more. He already knew that the more he waited the more he would be losing his ability to fight. He is not sure what the mask man used but he is having problems breathing and infusing chakra.
He himself was surprised at this because he is immune to most of the poisons. But now for some reason whatever this mask man used on him is working.
While Kirito was fighting Danzo. Kirito's clones were killing the Root Shinobi.
"What's going on outside why no one is responding." asks one of the Root ninjas.
"Not sure. I already reported this to Lord Danzo but he is not responding at all right now" another person replied.
"So should we follow the protocol here" Ask another person.
The root in charge here did not have any answer at this point.
"Just wait, the higher-up will soon tell us the order..." mutters the person in charge but cannot complete his sentence.
All the root people became alert but the only thing they saw that their captain falling to the ground, his neck cut.
They could not do anything. The only thing they saw was a flash of yellow but then there was nothing. He immediately wanted to rush towards the centre to alert Lord Danzo and other roots but soon all of them fell to the ground dead.
All of their neck was cut and the only thing they saw before dying was flashes of yellow.
Danzo at this time was constantly launching Jutsu after Jutsu and all of them hit the mask man. But Every time the attack hits a clone. This was annoying Danzo.
"This bastard is playing with me," said Danzo.
He was already fighting Kirito for more than 10 minutes and currently, he was barely able to breathe. He was able to breathe a little better after getting revived. But now again his body gives up on him. His chakra was already running low.
"Let me guess, you are thinking why you are having problems breathing and infusing chakra right" asked Kirito with an amused expression on his face. Of course, Danzo could not see that expression because of the mask Kirito was wearing.
Danzo too was very tired after launching jutsu after jutsu towards Kirito and thus he too did not attack and listen to Kirito.
"You see this is a special gas which you are inhaling from the moment you came here and even when you were in your root base.
This particular gas does not work well if you are looking to immediately kill the enemy but if a person is exposed to this gas for a long time then he will slowly lose this control over his chakra and breathing." said Kirito.
Danzo at this time was not only listening to Kirito was sorting out all the pros and cons of this gas but at the same time creating a plant to kill Kirito.
The moment Kirito stopped, Danzo in front of him disappeared and appeared behind Kirito. He only made this move after making sure that the person in front of him was not a shadow clone.
He had no way to figure out whether the masked man in front of him was a shadow clone or not but he could check his surroundings and figure out whether the person had any clones hiding or not.
This made Danzo ensure that the person in front of him was not a clone and thus he dared to directly attack Kirito.
What he did not know was that Kirito was expecting him to do that. The moment Danzo appeared behind Kirito he found that he could not move.
His eyes widened when he saw the reason. Kirito played him, he put seals while he was talking and Danzo ended up stepping exactly on those seals.
"Come on, do you really think that the person who can infiltrate inside your base will let his guard down while talking? You really have lost that shinobi edge Mr Danzo" said Kirito.
And with that said, Kirito attacked with another Rasengan.
The only thing which was left after this was a body full of holes and blood. But soon the body in front of Kirito disappears.
"Well, that should be the last of the Sharingan he should have" thought Kirito.
"Alright then Mr Danzo, I think that this is enough playing around and now it's the time to kill you" said Kirito with a laughing tone.
Danzo soon appeared again and now his eyes were full of fear. He only understood that the person in front of him was not something which he could handle.
Chapter 75: Chapter 75 : Danzo Is Dead (Rewrite)
"Well, that should be the last of the Sharingan he should have" thought Kirito.
"Alright then Mr Danzo, I think that this is enough playing around and now it's the time to kill you" said Kirito with a laughing tone.
Danzo soon appear again and now his eyes were full of fear. He only he was understanding that the person in front of him is not something which he can handle.
Kirito also could sense Danzo's thoughts, he could sense Danzo's nervous feelings and fear.
"What happen, Mr Danzo, Not interested in fighting anymore" ask Kirito with a mocking tone.
Danzo did not say anything. He just wanted to run now but the had no way out. Kirito had already surrounded the area with a strong barrier. Kirito already knew that Danzo right now is totally blocked and although he is a little better than before he just reincarnated after dying. But still, he saves himself.
"You are a wind-style user right? Let me show you a powerful wind style technique which you might like" said Kirito. This widen Danzo's eye.
He naturally knew that wind is the most offensive chakra nature type. He had to dodge whatever Kirito was about to send towards him. But he was already too late.
Soon he saw a chakra ball was forming in the masked man's palm.
"Rasengan" Mutter Danzo. Danzo naturally knew what this power was.
This put Danzo into thinking. A shinobi who can use Rasengan and is good at teleportation just.
"Minato Namikaze," said Danzo trying to see how the masked man react.
To his dismay, Kirito did not give any reaction but rather focus on the Rasengan on his hand. Then something amazing happens. Wind nature chakra started to integrate into the Rasengan a sharp sound of blades cutting the wind resounded around the area.
There was already sweat forming on Danzo's forehead. He is a shinobi who excel in wind-style jutsu and naturally knew the real power of this jutsu.
"This is called Wind Style Rasenshuriken," said Kirito and disappear from were he was.
Danzo's eyes widen. This was the first time Kirito use the flying thunder god technique in front of Danzo. Now Danzo's suspicion was getting more that the person who is fighting him is Minato.
But what happened next was something which gave him a chill for the first time still this fight had begun.
Kirito appear in front of him and this time he was not in his transformed form. This was Kirito in his real form.
Danzo's eyes widen. "You" mutter Danzo. Kirito was now not even covering his face with a mask and his real face was right in front of Danzo.
"You ask me why I am doing this right," Kirito said slowly.
Danzo right now did not even notice the powerful Rasenshuriken in Kirito's hand.
"Everything I do is for Konoha" said Kirito with a devilish smile on his face. Danzo at these words just paused. These were the exact words which he used whenever he is doing any shady work.
Then Kirito immediately teleported from there but the Rasenshuriken in his hand was left there in front of Danzo.
Soon a loud cry came from inside the barrier. Kirito at this time was outside the barrier. Waiting for his Rasenshuriken to finish rotating. It took some time but finally, it was over and kirito took down the barrier.
Kirito spends some time looking for Danzo's remaining's. He wanted to make sure that he is really dead and he also wanted to get Danzo's body so others don't revive him. There is also a possibility that he might bring Danzo back himself in future to get some information about this past.
After making sure that Danzo is dead and He have all of his remains. Kirito flashes out from there after removing all the evidence of the fight.
While Danzo was killed by Kirito in this fight. On the other side, Kirito's clones were making short work of the root members.
With the help of the special gas, most of the members of the root were already rendered useless. When Kirito finally came back he found that almost all the Root shinobi are dead and only a few root shinobi who are outside the village for some mission are left. Of course, he will take care of them but he can't do anything about them right now.
"Make sure that you all took care of all the dead bodies here and remove all the evidence as well. Aldo makes sure that if there are any powerful people here then save their bodies in a scroll" said Kirito.
All of his clones nodded and started working over time.
Kirito also nodded and then flash out from there. He has a chunin exam to attend tomorrow and he needs to sleep before that.
In a dark room where Naruto Uzumaki was sleeping, Kirito suddenly teleported there. The Kirito who was sleeping soundly suddenly pop away the moment the real Kirito came back.
He looked towards Naruto who was still sleeping and nodded.
"From tomorrow onwards, our life is going to change a lot. And From tomorrow onwards I will be needing you to get strong as well brother" whisper Kirito.
He knew what kind of horror are coming their way.
Jin simply changes to his normal clothes without waking Naruto and sleeping. Waiting for tomorrow's chunin exams.
"Maybe tomorrow the yellow flash of the leaf might once again be seen by the people of Konohagakure No Sato." thought Kirito.
Chapter 76: Chapter 76 : Kirito Vs Neji (Rewrite)
Konohagakure No Sato
Today the village was very cheerful and activity of all sorts could be seen in the streets. This was because today was the long-awaited Chunin exams which a lot of people were waiting for.
All the participants were already present in the exam stadium and were looking very focused. Especially the Konoha Genins who were looking determined to win this exam and get promoted to chunin.
Kirito was also here. Unfortunately, Naruto is late as always. But this time it was fine as he was not participating in the chunin exam.
Kirito could see many people in the exam studio and all of them were eagerly waiting for the fights to start.
But this was not what Kirito was paying attention to. Kirito was not interested in other participants or his fight but rather he was giving more attention to the moments of the higher-ups.
Yesterday he did not remove all of these clones but rather sent some of the clones to spy on the Konoha higher-ups. He wanted to know more about what they were doing or how they would react to Danzo's death.
Kirito is not a fool, he is sure that Danzo's death sooner or later will be known to the Hokage and his advisers.
What Kirito was just hoping for was to hide Danzo's death for as long as possible. But alas, that was not the case. Just before entering the exam stadium, one of Kirito's clone send him the information that the Hokage is aware that Danzo is missing. But, still now he is not sure whether the chunin exams will continue or not.
"It does not look like the exam will be cancelled at this point," thought Kirito.
"It's not like the Hokage know that Danzo is dead. All he knows is that Danzo is currently missing." Reason Kirito to himself.
Soon his thoughts come to an end when the Hokage and other Jonin come to the exam stadium.
"Of course, Orochimaru is disguised as Kazekage" mutters Kirito. He just senses the Kazekage who enters the exam stadium with his Hyper Focus and yes this is Orochimaru no doubt.
"Well, at least most of the things are going just like the cannon. Now Just make sure that Hiruzen Sarutobi dies, and if possible also kill Orochimaru." thought Kirito.
"Kirito"a shout came from behind.
Kirito just sighed, "So he finally is here." thought Kirito.
"Took you long enough," said Kirito looking back.
"Bastard, why you didn't wake me up". This person was undoubtedly Naruto.
"I did wake you up but you were only muttering Ramen and Sakura-chan before going back to sleep again. And this was not only one time. I tried many times" said Kirito.
This brought a hint of red in Naruto's cheeks and he finally quieted down.
"Cough, cough" came the sound.
"Please ever quiet down. I am the exam proctor Genma," said Genma.
Everyone's attention was now on Genma.
"Now I will be starting the final round of chunin exams.
The participants of the first round please now come to the area." said Genma.
This first fight was between Kirito and Neji.
"This is your match Neji," said Tenten. She was not able to pass the chunin exam the only person who was able to get to the finals from her team was Neji.
"I know, this fight is not going to be that long," said Neji and started to enter into the fighting ring.
"This fight is between the rookie of the years of two different years," said Shikamaru to himself.
"Go Kirito Kun" shouted Ino who was waiting to Cheer for Kirito for a long time.
"That's right brother, go and hit that Neji hard for me" shouted Naruto.
Kirito also enters the fighting ring with his hands in his pocket. Kirito was looking forwards to kicking Neji's ass in this fight.
"If both the candidates are ready then start the battle," said Genma.
The atmosphere in the Chunin Exam arena was charged with excitement as Kirito Uzumaki faced off against Neji Hyuga. The crowd buzzed with anticipation, knowing that this battle would be a clash between two formidable ninjas with their own unique abilities.
Kirito, determined blue eyes locked onto Neji's piercing white gaze. Neji, confident in his Byakugan's ability to see the chakra flow, moved with calculated precision. The tension between them hung thick in the air as the first move was about to unfold.
With a burst of speed, Neji closed the distance between them, launching a barrage of precise strikes aimed at Kirito's vital points. Kirito, however, surprised everyone with his newfound agility and reflexes. His years of training and experience had honed his skills, and he dodged Neji's attacks with a combination of acrobatics and quick thinking.
Neji, unyielding, pressed on, utilizing his Gentle Fist techniques to disrupt Kirito's chakra flow. The crowd watched in awe as Kirito, undeterred, summoned the Nine-Tails chakra, (for the first time using Nine-Tail Chakra out in public and not even that much only 2% to unlock his chakra points) a fiery aura surrounding him. The arena trembled with the intensity of their clash, and the onlookers couldn't help but marvel at the raw power on display.
The battle raged on with a dance of taijutsu and ninjutsu. Kirito countered Neji's strikes with Rasengan and shadow clones, each move met with Neji's calculated defence. The Chunin Exam arena became a stage for their extraordinary skills, and the spectators were caught in the suspense of witnessing two exceptional ninjas pushing each other to the limit.
Neji, ever the tactician, analyzed Kirito's movements, seeking weaknesses to exploit. Meanwhile, Kirito tapped into his indomitable will and determination, refusing to back down. The ebb and flow of the fight created an electric atmosphere, as both ninja showcased their growth and prowess.
The crowd held its breath, fully immersed in the unfolding spectacle. The tension in the arena was palpable, and the outcome of this clash between Kirito and Neji remained uncertain, leaving everyone on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting the next explosive exchange in this Chunin Exam showdown.
Chapter 77: Chapter 77 : Kirito Vs Neji 2 (Rewrite)
"I have enough of you Uzumaki," Neji said and attacked Kirito with many shurikens.
Kirito this time has to avoid this attack.
"Tch, I guess I will take care of you first then. I was waiting to kick your ass anyways" mutter Kirito.
He remembered what Neji said the last time he fought Naruto. Since then he wanted to beat Neji a little and now was the perfect time.
"Seems like he is finally getting a little serious and now is ready to fight for real," said Haku, seemingly more aware of what kind of face Kirito made when he was ready for a fight.
"Yeah, but what the hell he was doing up to till now, why play about and not fight seriously" mutters Ino. She had no idea what was going on.
"Does not matter, Kirito kick his ass" shouted Naruto. It does not matter to him why his brother is not doing anything now. All he cares about is that his brother fights and wins.
Kirito clearly heard Naruto but did not react. Although there was a little smile on his face.
"Now I will not hold back. So I must tell you this before we start the next round. Give up or I will make sure that you are hospitalized by the end of it," said Kirito casually looking at Neji.
"It does not matter what you say, the outcome will be the same either way," said Neji and charged Kirito.
Kirito still had a smile on his face and waited for Neji to come to him. The moment Neji was near him, Kirito showed incredible speed and appeared behind Neji when Neji was about to attack him.
"You are slow," said Kirito calmly. And grab Neji's long hair.
Kirito just grabbed Neji's hair and with his full physical power lifted Neji and slammed him to the ground. This attack was a little like Hulk slamming Loki in the ground but Kirito only did it once and used Neji's hair rather than his legs.
The moment Neji was slammed into the ground, Everyone was stunned and a quiet atmosphere spread across the stadium.
They were expecting an equal fight and that's what they got still this point but suddenly the blond kid started kicking Hyuga's ass.
Everyone was quiet and could not even understand what happened but later they all cheered after finally seeing a real fight starting.
"Yes, that's what I was talking about" shouted Naruto.
"That surely would have hurt," said Kiba from his seat.
"Brother Neji" mutters Hinata from his seat with concern in her eyes.
Neji was wide eyes at this point. He was more shocked about Kirito's speed rather than the pain he was suffering right now.
"I did not even see him move" Thought Neji.
He quickly stood up and this time seriously took a fighting position.
"Oh, so we are serious now ?" asked Kirito.
Neji did not answer the obviously retorted question and focused his chakra on his Bayakugan.
The nerves around his eyes started to bulge and Kirito could feel powerful pupil power coming from Neji.
"This is the first time I am fighting with someone with Bayakugan and I have to say that I am not that much impressed," said Kirito.
Neji chooses not to talk with Kirito and directly rushes towards Kirito with his Juken technique. Kirito saw this and did not do anything. He let Neji to attack him.
The moment Neji attacked him, he launched an instant replacement Jutsu and avoided Neji's attack.
"What," Neji said in shock. Neji was watching Kirito with his Bayakugan this time and did not even see Kirito infusing chakra until the last moment he activated the replacement technique.
"I know you are shocked but at least focus on the fight" A sound came from behind Neji.
Neji quickly turned around but that was a mistake. But that was totally pointless.
Kirito punches Neji with a steel release. This sent Neji directly flying towards the wall and slammed him to the wall.
"Oh shit, did I go a little too far? I wanted to beat him a little more before ending the battle. Not like this" thought Kirito with an embarrassing smile.
The entire stadium at this point was quiet. They were not expecting the fight to end this quickly.
Maybe the only person who was making noise at his point was Naruto who was cheering for Kirito.
Kirito waited for Neji to stand up. He did not want to end this match this easily.
Neji stood up once again with much difficulty; this time around, he was much more cautious of Kirito.
"Finally up, are you? I was getting bored waiting for you. Ready for round 2" said Kirito.
Chapter 78: Chapter 78 : Kirito Vs Neji 3 (Rewrite)
Neji was thinking what the hell is going on? "How the hell is this guy so fast? And what with this strength."
All the people in the stadium were silent until Neji was down but the moment Neji stood up everyone cheered.
Kirito just sighed thinking that he did not completely knock off Neji in one punch.
"Tell me again, what fate tells about this fight," said Kirito in a mocking voice.
Neji just narrowed his eyes and also again activated his eyes. Now he was completely cautious about this fight. He slowly came close to Kirito seeing that Kirito was not making any moves and took a fighting stand but this fighting stance was different than what he was using till now.
"That's, It can't be," said the Patriarch of the Hyuga clan.
"What is it, father." Ask the small loli sitting beside him. This little loli was Hanabi Hyuga the little sister of Hinata Hyuga.
While this was going on, Naruto was cheering the loudest. Maybe the only person who was comparable to him at this time was Ino.
Haku was also cheering but not that loud.
After seeing the stance that Neji took, Kirito already knew what Neji was trying to do. The Eight Trigram 64 plans.
This technique was something which gave Naruto a lot of trouble in the anime and also blocked all of his chakra points. In fact, if Naruto was not the Jinchuriki of the Nine Tail Fox then Naruto would definitely have lost that battle.
"You are already under the range of my divination," said Neji.
"Eight Trigram Sixth Four Palm," said Neji and started attacking Kirito.
Kirito at this point just smirked and activated his Hyperfocus. He wanted to test whether he could dodge all those 64 attacks with his speed alone.
Soon a very amazing thing was seen by all the people in the stadium. Neji was attacking Kirito at a very fast speed but Kirito was dodging almost all of them.
If there was any person from Earth there then they surely would have pointed out that what Kirito was currently doing is very similar to Ultra Instincts.
With every attack getting missed, Neji was getting more frustrated and worried.
But the most amazing at this time was none other than the people of the Hyuga clan. Not only they were surprised by the fact that Neji learned a technique from the main house but at the same time they could not believe that Kirito was able to dodge all the attacks by Neji.
"Wow both of them are so fast that I can't even see whether the attacks are getting hit or not" said one of the people in the audience.
And he was not the only one who was thinking this. Most of the person present in the stadium was having the same issue.
Only those powerful Shinobi like Chunin or up above were able to see what going on in reality.
Soon all the 64 palms ended and Neji backed off in a face full of disbelief. Neji at this point was panicking as none of his attacks landed on Kirito and this technique was his trump card.
"What happened, no longer believe in your own fate which you so gracefully boasted about before" asked Kirito with a smirk.
Both Hyper Focus and Hyper Speed almost allow Kirito to predict the attack trajectory and dodge it in time.
Neji did not say anything. He did not have anything to say.
"I see, you don't have any answers, do you? Fine enough. it's my time to attack anyways." said Kirito and vanished from his place.
Kirito instantly appears near Neji and kicks him upwards. "Now this is not an original technique but it will do" thought Kirito.
He immediately made two clones and jumped up.
The first comes to kick Neji higher. While the second clones push Neji even higher.
Kirito then appeared on the very top and said " Uzumaki barrage" and kicked Neji down from the air.
"That technique," said the guy muttering from where he was standing.
"Woh, that's my technique" said Naruto who stole this technique from Sasuke who further took this technique from Lee.
This time Kirito did not use much force as he still was not looking forward to directly ending the match. He just put enough power to knock Neji was cause him some pain. And sure enough, he did stand up after some time.
"This boy's speed is incredible," said one of the Jonins who was watching the battle.
Orochimaru at this time was getting more and more interested in Kirito. And Hiruzen on his side was watching Kirito and thinking about another blonde hair boy with fast speed.
"He sure is his son," thought Hiruzen but never let his thoughts let out.
But maybe the person with the most unique reaction at this time was Gaara of all people. His blood was boiling seeing Kirito fighting and immediately wanted to fight him and kill him.
It took some time for Neji to stand up again but this time his high and mighty face was not there.
"Seems like I can now go for the final hit" thought Kirito seeing Neji looking demotivated a little.
Kirito took out a normal kunai and threw it towards Neji then he multiplied the kunai which was his shadow clone's jutsu.
Neji was this and the only thing at this point to avoid all those kunai is to use the heavenly rotation technique.
Neji did just that and this further shocked the Hyuga clan but for Kirito he just wanted Neji to use this technique.
He just wanted to see how this technique to like in person that's it.
"Alright, I had my fun. Now let's finish this pointless fight already. There are other people who are waiting for their match anyways" thought Kirito and rushed towards Neji.
What Neji saw next was a powerful ball of rotating chakra forming in Kirito's hand.
He did not have enough time to see that because of how fast Kirito was and immediately activated his rotation technique again.
Soon both techniques collided and a huge explosion happened.
Everyone was in awe at how powerful the attack was but only a few people knew that the attack that Kirito just used was Rasengan and all those people were wide eyes.
"He surely is your son Minato," thought Hiruzen.
Soon the dust subsided and people were able to see the outcome of the match.
"Sure enough, Rasengan is more powerful than the Rotation technique of the Hyuga clan. Always wonder this and now I know" mutters Kirito.
At this time, Neji was blasted towards the wall and was completely knocked out.
Kirito just quietly walks back to his team.
"Well then, this next fight is something which I am personally very excited about," thought Kirito.
"Winner Kirito Uzumaki," said the Proctor Genma.
Kirito wanted to correct him and say that his not Uzumaki but rather Namikaze but he did not because he knew that soon enough everyone would know anyway.
Not to mention, he only wanted to announce this after Orochimaru trapped the Hokage inside his dead trap.
Chapter 79: Chapter 79 : Haku Vs Shikamaru (Rewrite)
"Awesome, you kick his ass," shouted Ino.
"Hey, that last move is the same which that pervy sage taught you right" asked Naruto.
"It was a really good fight," said Haku.
"Hey hey teach me that technique. I also want to do that technique" said Naruto again.
Kirito just smiled after getting back to his team and hearing all those remarks from his team.
"I will teach you later," said Kirito after looking towards Naruto.
Then he heard the proctor announcing the next battle.
"Next battle is between Shikamaru Nara and Haku Yuki" announces Genma.
Kirito looked towards Haku and then Shikamaru. He knew that Shikamaru was not particularly strong but his tactics were deadly.
"This fight is really going to be interesting," thought Kirito.
Both Haku and Shikamaru finally entered the stadium and were waiting for the fight to start. Well, only Haku was waiting for the fight to start. Shikamaru on the other hand was waiting for the fight to end.
"Start" said Genma and Haku immediately took action. She did not go for ice style but rather started the fight by throwing needles towards Shikamaru.
Shikamaru backed off and took cover behind a tree.
Haku was not afraid of Shikamaru so she went after him but at this time a shadow came after him.
"Shadow mimicry," said Shikamaru with his hand in a particular sign.
Haku immediately dodges the attack and jumps back. Thanks to the preliminary round's fights, Haku already knew what this shadow did and she immediately jumped back to avoid the shadow.
"Shikamaru is not particularly strong and the only strong technique he has is his shadow mimicry technique. But that does not mean that he is not dangerous. He is one of the smartest people in this village and his biggest weapon is not his shadow but rather his mind" That is what Kirito told her before when she asked about her opposition to him.
Haku quickly formed one-hand signs and started using her ice release.
Shikamaru also notices this. Again thanks to the preliminary fights, he knew about Haku's bloodline limit and was already very cautious of it.
Shikamaru started avoiding all the ice shards which Haku sent towards him.
"This battle is not like what happened in the cannon. In the fight between Shikamaru and Temari, although Temari was strong she was defeated because she was only replying on her strength and was not forming any strategy to beat Shikamaru. But here Haku is different, while fighting and training with Kirito, she has learned how to plan the battle and use tactics and strategy in a battle.
Haku was not giving Shikamaru any time to think form a strategy.
"Ice Style, demonic mirroring ice crystal," said Haku. This was Haku's strongest move. Haku was not planning to use a move like this but she knew that if she gave Shikamaru enough time to think he would definitely come up with a strategy to beat her and thus he intended to end this battle as soon as possible.
Everyone saw this Jutsu and was interested in this unique-looking jutsu. Haku created multiple ice mirrors around Shikmaru and went inside one of the mirrors in front of everyone.
"This is troublesome," said Shikamaru.
"I really wanted to give up right now but this damn woman is not even giving me time to give up." thought Shikamaru. He never wanted to fight in this exam. This is troublesome.
"Come on Shikamaru, fight" shouted Ino from her place.
Kirito at this point already knew what will be the outcome of the fight. Haku will win without any problem
"It's not like Shikamaru is weak but if he does not have time to even think and come up with a suitable strategy then he will not be able to win the battle." thought Kirito.
"Please give up because if you don't right now then I will bombard you with weapons from all sides," said Haku.
Another important piece of information which Haku got from Kirito is that Shikamaru is a lazy ass and doesn't have any motivation to do anything. So currently she was trying to convince Shikamaru to give up. She really did not want to fight Shikamaru if possible.
Shikamru while Haku was thinking took his favorite position and started thinking. Asuma at his time explained to Kurenai about this particular pose of Shikamaru.
Haku did not attack Shikamaru at this time and only waited for Shikamaru.
Shikamaru finally opened his eyes rubbed his head and said. "I give up".
Kirito was expecting this so no surprise about this at all. But everyone else was complaining about how fast the fight ended.
Haku removes her mirrors and relaxes.
"Winner, Haku Yuki" said Genma.
"Just like what I expected, it's not like Shikamaru is completely helpless against Haku but he just doesn't have enough motivation to think hard and come up with a complicated strategy to beat Haku." thought Kirito.
Haku eventually came back and smiled. She is happy that she remembers what Kirito said to her about Shikamaru before.
On the other hand Shikamaru at this time was getting Nag by Ino and later he was nag by his mother.
"Troublesome, Why all the women around me are like that" mutters Shikamaru.
"Next battle Ino Yamanaka vs Hinata Hyuga," said Genma and waited for both the girls to come to the fighting ring.
"Woo hoo, It's finally my turn. Just watch, I will show all of you how much stronger I have become" said Ino in excitement.
She was not joking either, Kirito knew that Ino worked really hard to get strong and win the Chunin Exams.
"Good Luck Ino," said Kirito and Naruto also cheered.
Hinata at this time was anxious and she never wanted to fight but she entered the fighting area anyway.
Chapter 80: Chapter 80 : Ino Vs Hinata (Rewrite)
Soon Hinata and Ino came to the fighting ring and as ready to start the fight.
"This particular fight is not going to be very difficult for Ino. I don't think that Hinata will push herself as she did in the anime" mutters Kirito as he also knew that the reason why Hinata was pushing herself so much was that she was getting motivated as Naruto was cheering her and she was fighting her cousin so she also has to proof something to them.
"Naruto should not cheer for Hinata this time around right" questioned Kirito to himself.
"Hinata Hyuga vs Ino Yamanaka," Said the Proctor as all the people's attention went towards them.
"Start" announced the proctor and the fight started.
Both the girls did not move and just took their respective fighting stances.
Hinata never wanted to be a shinobi in the first place. Just like Haku in the cannon, She is too soft for this lifestyle.
But it's not like she can change that right.
Ino was the first one to move. She started by throwing many senbon towards Hinata. Hinata already activated her Bayakugan and started parring and dodging the senbons with her juke fist technique.
Naruto at this time was cheering Ino.
"Maybe it was what Neji was saying in the preliminary in the anime which made Naruto cheer for Hinata," thought Kirito.
"But I can't do anything but wonder how this will change the future. Will Hinata still stand up for Naruto if Pain attacks them in the future? Will Hinata still be kidnapped by that fake Otsutsuki" thought Kirito and sighed, So many questions and no answers.
The fight was still going on on the fighting ground. Hinata was trying to get closer to Ino but Ino knowing fully well that in close combat it's impossible to fight with Hinata, always kept her distance.
Soon Ino resorted to Genjutsu and her clan mind transfer jutsu. Hinata being from the Hyuga clan naturally knew about the other clans of Konoha. She knew that if she was hit by Ino's mind transfer then it would be over and thus she kept dodging and moving.
Hinata, with her lavender eyes focused and serene, activated her Byakugan. Her veins bulged around her eyes, granting her an unparalleled view of her opponent's chakra network. She had trained extensively to improve her fighting skills.
Without hesitation, Ino took the initiative, surging forward with impressive speed. She swiftly formed hand seals, her slender fingers weaving through the air with practised precision. Ino's technique took effect, and her consciousness surged towards Hinata's body, aiming to seize control.
However, Hinata's Byakugan granted her incredible reflexes and perception. As Ino's consciousness neared, Hinata's eyes widened, and she instinctively sidestepped, narrowly avoiding Ino's mind invasion. Hinata retaliated with lightning-fast strikes, her Gentle Fist technique aimed at crippling Ino's chakra points.
Ino, undeterred by the close call, leapt backwards, creating distance between them. She decided to alter her approach, shifting her focus to illusions and sensory manipulation. Ino channelled her chakra into a genjutsu, creating a captivating illusion that seemed to warp the environment around Hinata.
Hinata's Byakugan, however, enabled her to see through Ino's illusion. She focused her vision, piercing through the deceptive landscape, and locked her sights on the real Ino. Hinata charged forward, her hands glowing with a gentle, yet devastating, aura.
Ino realized that she had underestimated Hinata's perceptiveness. She dodged and weaved, her movements graceful and agile, evading Hinata's precise strikes. Ino seized the opportunity, using her Mind-Body Switch Technique once again. This time, she targeted Hinata's body with relentless determination.
Hinata, her senses heightened, sensed Ino's consciousness nearing her. She braced herself, calling upon her inner strength, and released a powerful surge of chakra. Hinata's chakra disrupted Ino's technique, causing her consciousness to recoil, narrowly avoiding being captured.
The battle raged on, both combatants displaying incredible skill and resilience. Ino adapted her strategy, combining her mind-altering techniques with physical attacks, creating a deadly combination. Hinata, on the other hand, utilized her Byakugan to exploit Ino's weaknesses, countering with precision strikes.
As the fight reached its climax, Ino devised a final plan. She created an illusionary clone, diverting Hinata's attention. While Hinata was momentarily distracted, Ino seized the opportunity, launching a devastating attack from behind. Her fists connected with Hinata's vulnerable chakra points, disrupting the flow and leaving her momentarily stunned.
Ino capitalized on the opening, channelling her chakra into a powerful blow. Hinata's body was propelled backwards, crashing into the ground. The impact left Hinata breathless, unable to continue the fight.
Victorious, Ino stood tall, her chest heaving with exertion.
"Hmm I Knew that Ino would win but never expected Hinata to push Ino this much," thought Kirito.
This further solidifies his mind that this world although the same as Naruto's world is still very different from the anime to which he is referring it.
"Awesome Ino, you did awesome, Dattebayo".
No need to explain who shouted this now.
Naruto at this point also wanted to fight but he did not pass the preliminary so he can't.
On the other side, Hinata came back to consciousness and went to her team with her head hung down.
"Don't worry Hinata, you did great. We will try next time" Kurenai comforted Hinata.
Hinata just nodded but at this time her father was looking at her with a disappointed look.
Ino also came back to her team with excitement.
"You did good Ino," Kirito said patting Ino's head. Ino of course did not dislike it and chirped happily.
"You said that you will go on a date with me after the test remember. We are going right".
Kirito smiled and nodded.
"Next fight is betweenSasuke Uchiha and Gaara," said Genma
This brings all the audience's attention back to the ring. Kirito at this time was also thinking about whether Sasuke would come back in time or not.
Sakura on the other side was worried because Sasuke was not there.
Gaara was already in the fighting ring and was waiting.
