Everyone present at the test fell silent due to the amazing demonstration of the blond, Naruto only took ten minutes to finish the fight, but he performed it excellently.
He did not rely on astonishing attacks like element ninjutsus to create great destruction within the battlefield and he did not foolishly waste his strength.
But the most important thing was that he did not reveal all of his abilities like the previous contestants, he only needed two jutsu, one that they considered simple in the ninja academy and another that had strong potential in the future.
Except that the simple clone shadow jutsu was an astonishing display of the amount of chakra and focus he had to finish off Kiba without getting hurt.
His only fault would be the excessive use of chakra, which did not affect Naruto and in the future could improve his chakra control, showing a greater amount of ninjutsus, if he trains correctly.
Everyone is simply speechless about the breakthrough Naruto was showing, others thought that he would become a great shinobi and others thought negatively about his progress, for being the container of the Kyuubi.
"* Cough! * * Cough! * The winner of this match is Naruto Uzumaki." Hayato announced to the public.
"OH! Amazing Naruto!" Lee yelled, unable to contain his desire to be next in the fight.
"That Naruto, well done!" Sakura also supported Naruto, as he did in his fight against Ino.
"Unbelievable who would have thought that he would manage to defeat Kiba," Shikamaru said with his companions agreeing with his comment.
Genji watched the shinobi from other villages writing down Naruto's information and couldn't feel proud of the work he did with Naruto. "To think that Kiba managed to remove only 30% of Naruto's chakra." He said in low voice and smiling happily for his friend.
All the shinobi who knew Naruto couldn't help but praise Naruto for his way of finishing the battle.
Temari just wanted to collect some information from the leaf village but was instead surprised by the number of clones she created.
Something that she considered that it would be difficult to defeat if the blonde thought wisely and more because she was sure that Genji whispered something that surprised her a little when hearing that only 30%.
This changed her plans a bit, but she had to report her achievement to her fellow villagers. She couldn't help but perceive something painful at the thought of what her brother Gaara asked of her.
...
..
.
A few days before the start of the Chunin exam.
Gaara was meditating in her room, but he couldn't get a possible threat out of his head, for some reason every time her sister, companions from the same village, gathered information and met that young man from the village of the leaf.
His mind felt restless, as for some reason he reminded him of Yashamaru, but hatred only ignited within him, seeing how he treated his teammates when he secretly spied on them and his mark on his forehead tortures him. every so often.
He had the opportunity to attack or confront him to kill him. Her sand moved around her before pleading when she felt Genji's gaze on him.
As he left the place, a voice in her head laughed at her weakness, that he was fleeing instead of killing and Gaara felt more agitated with each passing moment.
By withdrawing from the battlefield and returning to her room. She could not fully sleep, fighting the thoughts of him for a few days at the end she understood a way to end that annoyance she felt from him.
"Your existence from him will be erased and ...". Gaara with you exhausted and his body taking a pale color. "We will kill him!" The voice inside her head finished the sentence for him.
Looking out of her bedroom window, the day was bright and sunny. He watched all the people walking by on the street, with Gaara's exhausted and twisted mind planning how to destroy people's smiles.
Unable to control the voices in his head, he calls everyone to a meeting. Managing to make everyone tense because of Gaara's appearance.
"A quick death will not be enough for him."
Temari looked at the look of her brother and asked fearfully. "Kill who?"
Without glancing at his sister, Gaara tells him. "I want to see him suffer before I kill him and see how his smile falls apart from the raw truth!"
Temari fearfully asks him quickly, so as not to disturb Gaara and leave the room as soon as possible, since he knows that his mental state is getting out of control with each passing day, within the village.
"To who?".
Gaara turns to look at them with a mad face all over his face and his breathing causes great fear in everyone. "The one with black hair who intervened between kankuro and the blonde. The guy who always interacts with a calm and cheerful face."
Gaara told them by releasing more hatred for Genji every moment.
Kankuro, Temari, and Baki tensed, fearing that Gaara's insanity would spiral out of control and his manic symptoms might spiral out of control. They have had to go through this within the village, however, they were not in Suna.
Kankuro swallows his saliva in fear before asking his brother. "What do you want us to do?"
The torture of his mind was extreme for Gaara that he simply didn't trust anyone but himself and he would use whatever he has at his hand to kill Genji.
"Earn their trust and loyalty!"
Kankuro couldn't understand that he wanted to achieve his brother, but he didn't want to question the lunatic in front of him.
"He will not trust anyone in our village and for the time that we will last in the village is; 30 to 35 days. We do not have enough time, to establish a special bond with the boy."
Gaara said nothing for a few moments, before remembering something important and looking at Temari. "He uses your heart, your mind, and even your body if the situation calls for it. It doesn't matter what you have to do, as long as he fully trusts you."
Although the situation made Temari fearful, he tried to keep his mind calm and with a nervous voice. "W-why?"
"Why?!". He repeats the same words as Temari and remembers Yashamura's words, causing more pain on his mark.
"To see his trust and his heartbreak at witnessing the betrayal! At that moment he will know that love is the worst death!" He said as he let the sand move around him.
Everyone instinctively took a step back for fear of being grabbed by the sand.
The brothers do not know how to proceed with Gaara and they see their sensei for his opinion, but it is noted that their nanny does nothing and leaves the room without saying a word and simply sends a report to the Kazekage of the matter.
Temari and Kankuro helplessly leave the place in silence to return to their rooms.

Returning to Naruto's finished match and the small celebration of his companions, the next match was about to be announced on the screen.
Hinata with a bit of pity congratulated Naruto and went to give Kiba some ointment. He pities that Kiba was unconscious and only handed him over to the medical group who moved him to a recovery room.
The screen stopped and revealed the names of Hinata and Neji.
They were both approaching her and Hayate told them to start, but Hinata was the one who was afraid to face her cousin Neji.
"Back off! You're not cut out to be a ninja! Hinata!" Neji said aggressively and activated his Byakugan.
Hinata with a little fear for Neji's voice felt like running from the place but remembered the words that Genji repeated to her in each training they did together.
"Hinata, you may not want to hurt someone with your hands… But don't let others decide for you Hinata. Fight for your freedom Hinata and fight for what you want!"
Her words were imprinted on her mind in every weak moment she went through being alone in her own home.
Her hands clenched enough that it caused a slight injury to her hands, this was the way Genji taught her to calm her mind and put aside all her negative thoughts.
Neji watched as her eyes gained value and that bothered him more.
"So you're not retiring? I am not responsible for what may happen to you."
"I don't want to run away anymore!" Hinata said by placing her hands in a ninja sign. "Byakugan!"
Neji and Hinata moved quickly to attack each other with her outstretched hand that was blocked by Neji's arm.
However, Hinata aggressively attacked Neji, landing two palm strikes in just one second, causing Neji to focus on just dodging and attacking in due course.
The sounds of blows were intensifying at every moment as they performed a perfect movement of their feet, one took a step forward and the other retreated with a step back.
Chakra shot out of both hands that wanted to block the chakra web, but Hinata was overwhelmed by Neji's experience, leaving him to neglect two of her pressure points on her left arm.
Neji hit her on the coracobrachialis, which is the muscle near her armpit, and the brachialis that allows the elbow of her arm to bend easily.
Hinata took a few steps back to get a little rest and plan her next attack. Neji, feeling that he dominated the match, did not allow Hinata to rest and continued to assault her against her.
The shinobi who watched the match was impressed by the dance performed by both sides when attacking each other, some were anxious for Hinata, but Genji simply remained calm in the face of combat.
The two of them prepared to launch a lethal attack between both parties, Genji expected to see Hinata's demonstration that he would perform next when he saw that he was preparing to receive Neji's attack.
Both ninjas brought the palm of their hand to the body of the other. Neji hit Hinata's windpipe hard causing the blood to rise to his mouth and then spit out blood.
Hinata expected that movement and also guesses Neji's movements and hits Neji's pectoralis major, but she used her willpower entirely creating in her hand a black armor that not only blocked Neji's chakra network, it also caused her four fingers. of his right hand will pierce a few inches into Neji's body.
"WHAT?!". Neji let out an exaggerated voice as he watched as the blood began to flow out of his body.
Hinata withdrew her hand in amazement at not knowing his true strength and did not control his emotions when reacting to the wound he left on Neji. She would train with Genji from time to time using Haki on her hands and at no point did she think that she would manage to pierce the flesh easily.
For Hinata, it was a surprise, but for Genji, it was not so much, as he expected this result from training with her in the past and was afraid of Hinata when training using Haki.
He wasn't afraid of Hinata because of her reserved and fearful attitude sometimes.
She feared him because they fought using Haki and she discovered that Hinata's blows not only blocked the person's chakra conduits but that she could destroy the entire chakra conduit of a certain area.
Sure, it was a piece of cake for him to stop Hinata from destroying her conduits with Haki, but every time she hit certain areas, she hurt like hell itself.
She then thought that the Haki progressed enough, she would completely cripple one arm to the point that she would not be able to use chakra in that arm if it is not treated in time. Ruining the shinobi's craft with a permanent injury.
That was a terrifying ability Hinata has from using byakugan plus Haki.
If she wanted to, she would manage to remove the chakra network of any ninja and the shinobi would die perhaps when seeing his chakra network destroyed with the internal organs damaged and in the best of cases that he survived, he would be a normal person without being able to have chakra in his body again for his whole life.
It is said that a shinobi can train her body to achieve a strong and resistant body, however, how you train your internal organs to prevent your chakra network from being destroyed.
- I think it was difficult to train Hinata a bit, but I think it happened to me in my teaching. I mean, I was hoping that Hinata would manage to pierce the meat and improve her taijutsu, but I think she would get a little angry for not telling him how strong hers was Haki -. Genji thought with a little fear.
Hinata removes her hand from Neji's body and with difficulty places her hand on the wound and with great hatred, I take advantage of the fact that Hinata was distracted by contemplating his hand full of blood.
The pain was great torture for Neji, but he moved as fast as he could and attacked Hinata's jaw with his palm causing her to take a few steps back, but Neji harshly attacked her heart and caused Hinata to release a large amount of blood.
Hinata coughed up some blood before looking blankly at Neji. Using what little strength he had left from the pain she felt in her chest, but without accepting defeat for both parties.
Hinata tried to punch him in the face with Haki and Neji when she saw that black color in Hinata's hand again, she felt a little fear and without allowing it, she attacked her heart once more.
There were two painful sounds when being hit by both people.
The sound disappeared for both of them when connecting her blows, Hinata lost the stability of her feet and fell to the ground unconscious releasing blood from her mouth. As for Neji who took the hit from Hinata, he walked back five steps before looking at the ground.
A few seconds passed and Hayate approached Hinata's unconscious body to check her a bit before announcing the game over, but she stopped as she looked into Neji's lost eyes.
By looking at both participants and checking both participants a bit she announced the winner of the showdown.
"Looking at the circumstances of both participants and seeing that neither participant is fit to continue. By double knockout, there is no winner in the ninth match of the Chunin exams!"
