Chuunin Exams First Phase [1]

'I get it!' In the middle of the training, Naruto suddenly thought as an imaginary lightbulb suddenly popped besides him, Kurama felt slightly curious as he asked 'What? Did you realize something about your Space-Time weird things?'

Naruto didn't hide his ''discovery'' about his possible manipulation of Space-Time from Kurama, to him, the fluffy Fox is just like Kakashi, his brother, the blue-eyed teenager nodded but shook his head 'Yes, I figured something but this isn't what I'm talking about, the thing is, I finally found a proper nickname!' he said inwardly.

The fluffy, tsundere Fox sighed at his partner and brother's antics before ignoring Naruto completely and going to sleep.

Two months had passed since they returned to Konoha, Naruto faintly remembered Kakashi mentioning that the Chuunin Exams happens every six months, as such, it is an event that happens two times per year, it also means that there are exactly two months or so left considering they became a Genin four months ago.

'I've figured out the Fuuton version of Rasengan, naming it Fuuton: Rasenshuriken, I'm now able to do it without the use of Kage Bunshins and also created a new Jutsu, so far, the Space-Time Manipulation had some improvements...' Naruto thought while looking at the thin, pitch-black lines.

Suddenly, he teleported exactly five meters from his previous location, it was actually a really big advancement because, in the start, he couldn't teleport even a meter from his location with the exception of teleporting directly to the pitch-black lines, any further from five meters would take huge amounts of Chakra, however, 5 meters or less took minimal amounts of it.

In the past two months, Naruto didn't focus on creating variations of Rasengan, rather, he focused on perfecting the ones he already has such as the Fuuton: Rasenshuriken, that he could now use perfectly along with the Fuuton: Jigoku Rasengan, aside from that, the blonde teenager focused on creating a new Jutsu he had in mind after researching about puppeteers.

His strength had greatly improved in the past two months, Naruto wasn't afraid of having his Hiraishin no Jutsu discovered anymore, it was surely one of his trump cards but it would be one of his ''open'' trump cards, he could use it and when one thinks he'll teleport to the Special Kunai, Naruto would teleport with his Space-Time Manipulation, killing the person before he/she could react.

'I'm such a genius, don't you think, Kuu-san?' Naruto boasted to his partner, that sneered and said 'Don't get too cocky, you brat! You're just ordinary in my eyes!'

Naruto sighed 'As always, being such a tsundere, Kuu-san, I heard it isn't good for the health!' he said inwardly.

Kurama was, of course, angered by his comments 'Kit, don't let me go outside, otherwise, I'll cut you to pieces! Can't you let me a damn moment of peace? Damn it!' the fluffy Fox roared, alas, Naruto didn't care.

Then, he started to think of something else, Naruto was thinking of his new Jutsu name but then, he shook his head 'I'll have time to develop more of it later, its strength is just B-Rank for now as it isn't perfect yet, after I perfect it, the ranking will raise to A-Rank and then, I'll make a Raiton version of it to increase the power output, the ranking will be nearing S-Rank...' he thought.

Meanwhile, Hyuuga Clan Training Ground.

In the Training Ground of the Hyuuga Clan, a female teenager with a short hime-like haircut that has a beautiful purple coloration to it stood there, training while hitting the dummies continuously, her body was drenched with sweat and it gave signs of breaking down from exhaustion.

'I need to get stronger, if I don't get stronger, how will I be able to stay with Naruto-kun? I will prove my strength, I'll prove that I can be strong too!' Hinata thought as her body threatened to give up, however, her mind was hard as steel and so was her determination.

She had heard about Naruto feats on both A-Rank Mission he did and it made her feel bitter, bitter because Hinata felt that she would be left behind, afraid that he wouldn't remember her because of her weakness.

However, Hinata soon shook her head 'Naruto-kun isn't like that, he wouldn't ever do that but I still need to be strong, I want to help Naruto-kun, I want to know more about him, his happiness, his sadness, his sorrows, his hatred, everything!' she thought.

In the past four months, Hinata had doubled her training because she knows that with her talent, if she didn't double her efforts, she would be left even more behind.

With a sudden effort, she said ''Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms!'' and as the wind passed by, her body moved, hitting different parts of the wooden dummy, soon after completing the technique, Hinata fell to the ground, unconscious.

Behind a tree that was out of Hinata's sight, Neji stood by, observing Hinata 'Hinata-sama efforts are paying off, she has already grasped the basics of Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms...' he thought before moving her unconscious body to the Main House.

When he and Naruto first met, Neji fought against Sasuke and won because the black-haired boy didn't know about his abilities, since then, their rivalry started.

He first deemed the Uchiha as someone destined by fate to be a loser because of his inferior strength, Neji comments pissed Naruto off because of the blonde teenager past ''What do you know about fate? If that was true, I would be long dead! What defines your strength or any other things isn't fate but your own actions, fate isn't worth shit!'' Naruto said at that time, his words penetrated deep inside Neji's mind.

It made him ponder for a long time and after a few beatings from Naruto, sense was knocked within his head, however, what changed his way of thinking completely was Naruto's words ''I'm not able to change it now but one day, I'll be able to remove that Seal from your entire Clan!''

The blue-eyed teenager really wasn't able to remove it now, one because he lacked strength and second because if he did something wrong, the Seal would instantly kill the victim, Naruto had to improve his Fuuinjutsu to a new level and study the Seals put on the Hyuugas, his promise was true, these were the clansmen of Hinata.

There was another reason but that was something for another time and just like that, two months or so passed in the blink of an eye.
