Chapter 25
Naruto suddenly got memories from a clone who was sent to protect Karin and 'save' her instead of Sasuke.
The Clone told Karin to meet him after the third exam.
After the second test, the third instructor Hayate Gekko introduced himself. After Hayate gave them an option to leave, many participants left. Many were injured, and some were spies.
People who didn't leave were taken to the third exam area.
Hayate said: "Congratulations to everyone who didn't give up and passed the second exam. The third exam will be one on one duals."
The participants who followed Hayate were worried. Many wanted to give up now, but it's too late. Most of them were looking at Naruto and hoping it won't be against him.
After a few minutes, the matchups were released. They were
Shino vs. Zaku Abumi:
Shino won by a large margin.
Sasuke vs. Yorio Akado:
Sasuke destroyed him since Sasuke was trained by his father and has trained every single day.
Shikamaru vs. Kin Tsuchi:
Shikamaru won by using his IQ and trapping the opponent.
Ino vs. Sakura:
Sakura won since she trained a lot. Ino tried to use her clan Jutsu to occupy Sasukra but Sakura's second personality helped her.
Choji vs. Dosu Kinuta:
Dosu won the match
Rock Lee vs. Garra
The match went everything the same except the end.
< Flash Back >
Naruto thought: 'I guess I can save him and earn a favor from my old sensei Gai.'
When Garra was about to suffocate Lee with his sand, Naruto used [Swift release] to appear and save him.
When the sand cleared, there was no one.
Naruto, who was holding Lee, spoke: "That's enough! You can clearly see Lee already passed out."
Garra held back from attacking him, thinking, 'I will have your blood on the upcoming match.'
Naruto then stated using [Mystical Palms Jutsu]. When the medical team came, they bowed since Naruto is the head of the Medical Department.
Medical nin spoke politely: "Naruto-sama, we can take care of him here." After Naruto nodded, they took him to the emergency room.
Gai gave a thank you on his way.
< Flash back -end >
Naruto vs. Kiba Inuzuka
Kiba gave up since he was traumatized by Hinata, and two, there's no way he is fighting Naruto. Everyone nodded, indicating that was an excellent option.
Hayate announced: "Last match will be Hinata Hyuga vs. Neji Hyuga. So please come on stage."
Naruto spoke to Hinata, who was next to him: "Go show them who the next head of Hyuga Clan is. Make me proud."
Hinata nodded her head, raised her hands, and disappeared [Lightning Style: Lightning Body Flicker]
Everyone surprised her since she used elemental [Body Flicker], which is more complex than usual.
After Neji arrived in the arena, he looked at Hinata and said: "Hinata-san, please give up. Fate has already been decided I would win."
Hinata smiled and said: "Sorry, Neji, Fate does play a huge role in our role, but as Naruto says, I am the master of my fate and the captain of my destiny. And do be careful what you say to the future head of the head. Branch member Genin Neji." Hinata spoke with confidence; Naruto always told her to keep her head high and be proud of what you are.
( Poor Hinata doesn't know, Naruto used google quotes)
Neji was taken back and said: "Fate will find a way."
Then both opened their Byakugan, and Hinata took her Taijutsu stance. Neji rushed with [Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms]
When his palms met, Hinata blocked everything by releasing Chakra at the specific tenketsu points.
To counter Neji, Hinata used [Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms] and started attacking. Neji, who didn't expect Hinata to be so skilled, was attacked and blocked some strikes while others hit him.
After finishing her combo, she has used [Eight trigrams: Mountain Crusher], which releases a huge amount of Chakra and sends him flying back.
Hinata, who looked at the beaten Neji, who was standing up, said: "Do you understand now? You have no way of beating me."
Hinata was impressed at Neji, who could stand up after performing her combo.
Neji: "Hinata-san, I am impressed at your skill, and you are the strongest enemy I have ever fought, but all this time, I've been called a genius, so I cannot lose."
Clearly, Neji is living under a rock since Hinata is the Genius of the Hyuga clan now.
Hinata said: "So, you're not going to withdraw? Then don't blame me for what happens to you," then cast [Lightning Style: False Darkness], which released a thunder wave at Neji.
Neji saw a wave of lightning coming his way. So he lowered his body and performed [Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven].
Hinata was surprised Neji had learned one of the clan's secret techniques. But, of course, she knows how hard it is since she can already perform it.
Neji, after performing, said to Hinata: "No one can determine another's destiny, and there's no method but death to escape this horrible curse."
Hinata smiled sadly and said: "You are wrong, Neji…Because I can see that you are suffering more than me…You are the one who is confused and suffering inside the fate of the head and branch families. I will abolish the clan's cursed seal when I become the head. I will give you my guarantee."
Neji smiled and fainted. Afterward, the Medical team picked him back, with Hiashi following.
Hayate announced:" Last match Neji Hyuga vs Hinata Hyuga was won by Hinata Hyuga. The second part of the exam will be conducted in the upcoming month, and We will post the final matches."
After everyone left, Naruto told Hinata that he spotted an Uzumaki survivor named Karin and would chat with her and Hokage.
Hinata nodded and told him good luck.
Naruto sensed Karin waiting at the place Naruto told her to wait. So he started walking towards her.
When Naruto came close, Karin sensed his location and came toward him.
Karin rushed to Naruto and said: " HIII, Naruto-kun. Thank you for saving me. I am very excited to meet another Uzumaki after seeing your Clone."
Naruto chuckled at her enthusiasm and said: " The Kaguya Mind Eye is useful for finding people, isn't it?"
Karin looked confused, so Naruto explained everything about Kaguya's mind eye and her special Heal-Bite physique.
Naruto said: " So Karin-san, as the head of the Konoha's Uzumaki clan, I can help you with your situation. Please let me help you; I want to bring back the former glory of the Uzumaki Clan. I am close to the Hokage so that I can convince him."
Karin finally nodded since she didn't want to trouble Naruto with her problems.
Naruto then took her to his house, told Mikoto about her, and said he would be coming back after informing the Hokage.
Naruto looked at her and said: " I don't usually do this but here, bite my arm, I also have Heal-Bite, but mine is much stronger. I looked at your arms, and I can already guess how you are being treated."
Karin was embarrassed and started hiding her arms behind. Mikoto, who saw the situation, decided to assist her by talking some sense into her. Finally, Karin bit Naruto's arm, which almost caused her to moan since she had never felt this good before.
A tremendous amount of Chakra is rushing through her body and healing her exceptionally.
Naruto thought: ' So it's not Hinata that she is a pervert. She always moans whenever she bits my neck while we make out.'
After that, Karin blushed and ran away inside the house; while chucking, Mikoto kissed Naruto's cheek and followed Karin.
Naruto went to the Hokage.
After reaching the Hokage, he sat down in a chair since he is a clan head now and has some privileges.
Hokage looked at Naruto and said: " Hello Naruto, I was going to call you since I wanted to chat with you, but since you came for something, please explain."
Naruto replied: " Hokage-Jiji, I found an Uzumaki survivor with a special body that can heal anyone with a bite. I plan to take her into my clan. However, she is being mistreated, she has many bruises and bites marks, and I am willing to compensate the other party. Her name is Karin Uzumaki."
Hokage already knew that an Uzumaki girl came to the Chunin exam and had already guessed that Naruto would come for her.
Hokage then replied: " I am sorry, Naruto. Since she has a special physique, they probably would demand another person with a bloodline. But you can 'take care' of them, and It will be off the records."
Naruto has done many missions like this with the purple-haired Anbu at the request of Naruto, who wanted some training.
Naruto thought, ' I should meet with Yugao since I wanted to see how far her Kenjutsu has developed since the last time they fought.'
Naruto said: " Thank you, Jiji. Of course, I will take care of it personally without anyone knowing."
Hokage smiled and said: " Now I wanted to talk to you about your plans during the one-month break from the chunin exam. Do you have any plans?"
Naruto was curious about what Hokage planned. If Hokahe says Jiraiya will be his teacher, he will say no since it's a waste of time. Naruto planned to meet him at a later time.
Naruto said: " I have plans, but I want to listen to your reason."
Hokage smartly guessed what Naruto said, so he replied, " I plan to take you as my student and train you from now on."
Naruto's eyes widened. This is the best option possible since the amount of prestige he would get after getting accepted as the Third Hokage disciple is enormous. He doesn't care what Hirizen teaches since he is now more skilled than him. With more than 200 clones training 24/7 without a break every day. Just imagine him doing that from 4 years ago.
Naruto bowed and replied: " I am honored, Hokage-sensei."
Hokage nodded happily. Now, he has complete control of Naruto without anyone interfering. He can mold him into whatever he wants.
After talking for some time, Naruto left.
When he came to his house, he smelled something delicious.
Naruto shouted: " I am home."
Mikoto then came and greeted him like a wife.
Mikoto said: " Today I made your favorite ramen, go freshen up Hinata is already on her way here."
Naruto nodded and went to his room. After getting to the big house, he felt sad since Mikoto and Naruto have separate rooms, BUT sometimes they sleep together after watching T.V till midnight.
[A/N: Naruto's technology is weird. Remember, Nagato can use missiles, and I am sure he didn't develop it. So how does he know missiles while everyone else throws kunai?]
The news of the Third Hokage accepting another disciple spread like fire through all the villages. From that day onward, Naruto 'trained' with Hiruzen.
Karin got used to living in Naruto's House. She was sad when she met Hinata, but her mood improved after hearing CRA from the mischievous Mikoto.
Naruto finally taught Hinata [Chidori]. Even though Hinata doesn't have Sharingan, she does a Byukygan. She uses it like targeted missiles. She has already developed [Chidori Senbon]. Her Chakra is already at Kage. She also uses [Chidori] when she uses [Eight Trigrams: Thirty-Two Palms]
Kurenai and Anko started visiting Naruto a lot; even Yugao joined them to train with Naruto whenever she should.
Asuma and Hayato were obviously not happy, but what could they do? They just hoped that it was a typical training section.
Finally, after one month, the second part of the third chunin exam started.
