Naruto rises to a knock at his door. He wipes the tiredness from his eyes. He walks to the door opening it to reveal a blonde woman.
"Yes, Samui?" Naruto asked while stretching obviously trying to show off the muscles on his body.
"I'm here for that massage you offered." Samui answered.
"Good job kid." Kurama said from his belly as Naruto spiked himself up.
"Come in." Naruto moved allowing entrance to his bedroom. Samui walked to the bed removing her shirt and laying down. Naruto grabs a bottle of lotion that he bought yesterday, almost preparing for this moment.
As Naruto moved his hands close and closer to the naked back he finally started the message. Loosening muscles that seemed to be stressed. He heard a relief sigh.
"So? I met the two tails yesterday, do you know her name?" Naruto asked.
"Its Yugito." Samui responded as she relaxed more and more.
"Hmm, can she use her tailed beast?" Naruto asked another question.
"She can use one tail, but when she tries to go to two she starts to act out in rage." Samui answered another question as she felt the muscles on her backs get rubbed.
"How did she learn to use it?" Naruto asked.
"I don't know, practice I guess. That has to do something with B, as he has full control over his tailed beast.
"This is perfect, shes revealing a lot about my competition, just from a message! Thank you Pervy Sage!" Naruto shouted inside.
As Naruto finished Samui sttod up, putting her clothing back on. The look of disappointment on her face. "You can always return." Naruto said motioning to the door. As Naruto opens it he's met with Gaaras face.
Gaara carefully observed the situation. "A bottle of lotion, a women that Naruto would definitely be into. Wait, what does he need the lotion for? Unless, no he didn't. He used the ancient technique that Jiraya taught us." Gaara observes the situation.
Samui walked past him while he was observing everything. He then looked at Naruto and motioned for him to come on. Naruto at his forearm. There was three tiny seals there. It puffed in smoke surrounding him. He now had a full other set of clothes on.
"That was cool, but where did your old ones go?" Gaara asked.
"Uhh, they disappeared." Naruto answered. That's not what happened at all. While the smoke was covering Naruto he tore his clothes off of his bod and put on the ones from the seal quickly before it disappeared, but he wasn't gonna tell Gaara that.
They started walking and eventually they arrived at there destination. The exact same place as yesterday, but before they could countinue. Naruto felt a tap on his shoulder. Looking over and down he saw Sakura with Neji, and Rock Leee behind her.
"Hello." Naruto said before walking away. Gaara nodded and did the same. The five of them countinued before arriving at the tables they where met with yesterday. They where the last ones to arrive. There where now only ninety people left, but Naruto was searching for someone. He finally found them.
"Hello, Yugito." Naruto said as he walked up to the girl. Yugito ignored his great, but could not ignore the voice in her head.
"Kitten! He's back! Now's your chance! Claim as your own and maybe with him while you can! You can already see other females being attracted to him. Don't lose this one!" Matatabi screamed.
"Stop it!" She screamed inside, but could not hide the blush on the outside. As much as she didn't want to think about it. Naruto was a good looking guy, and he was gathering a lot of attention from other females.
Naruto saw this blush and saw he had her roped in. He sat next to her. She looked over at him. "Will you move?" She asked.
"There are more seats. I found want to be away from me this bad, then move. You know you don't want to though." Naruto said pulling out a little journal. It was a beaten up notebook. When looking at it you could tell it's been used for a while. Scribbled down where plans for seal or even formulas for them, although less important ones.
Naruto scribbled down something, Yugito looked over to see what he was writing down. 'Clothes Seal? I'll have to make another seal that takes my clothes off my body instantly. Gotta look into this more.' Naruto scribbled down. He saw what Yugito was doing.
"I knew you wouldn't move." Naruto said shutting his notebook. Yugito ignore his words and looked foward.
"Kitten! He's throwing the bait! Come on! If I was you I would've already dealt with that extra bone growing from him." Matatabi said. Yugito blushed and looked down.
"I knew you where intrested! Just do it!" Matatabi once again tried to push her.
"No! I don't need to! Me and you alone with the others ar just fine. We don't need some else. Especially with some guy!" She argued back.
Matatabi sighed. "Kitten I'll alway be with you, but me and a couple of others aren't enough. You need to let it go, or it'll affect you forever." Matatabi warned. Yugito already stopped listening as she was staring at someone coming to the front of the room.
"Alright, the second stage of the exams will begin. I'm Samui, and today you will participate in a race. The rules are simple. The location we will be on is a mountain. You will have one silver flag in the beginning. You must race to the top of the mountain, but to reach the top you need two flags. To get it you need to take it from others. Then you will trade them in for one golden flag. You will then race back the bottom, but you will need two gold flags then, before finally you must race to the top with the platinum flag you get for trading in the gold ones, got it." Samui finished with a smile.
"She seems to be in a good mood, and she seems to be relaxed." Karui you wasn't far said to Darui.
"Well she did go get Naruto and Gaara,, even though she left early, ever since she came back. She seems to be in a good mood." Darui finished the last part before looking Karui, who had the same expression he did. A suprises one. Karui grew a smile though.
"I wonder waht all he could do." Karui said as she walked off. Darui shook his head.
"Alright, you've all been given a location. You can do this solo, or with a team. Anything goes." Samui said. Some one spoke up.
"Even killing blows?" One asked.
"Yes, if you can't make it through the exams. You think you could in a real battle, where shinobi are the most desperate?" Samui asked. Naruto looked over at Yugito. He placed his hand on her shoulder.
"I wont let you get hurt." He said smiling. At first Yugito wanted to smile, but she felt a shiver and he quickly slapped his hand away. She stood up and walked away. Naruto had a concerned look.
"Women have not always liked my advancements, but they weren't like that. When I touched her, it felt like she feared what might happen. I got to figure out more about her, which now leads me to the next one to get information out of." Naruto thought looking towards a red haired kunoichi. They smirked looking at eachother.
Karui walked foward, but was stopped by her name getting called from Samui. She need to help setting up the flags. That left Naruto with the other five. When looking at them he notice people behind them. They where staring at them with hate, or more like Sakura, Rock Lee, and Neji. When Naruto saw what village they where from he understood though.
His father did kill a lot of Iwagakures people, and he was apart of the Leaf Village. Naruto pointed this out to them before leaving with Gaara. They marched along as they eventually got to the mountain they would be racing the others on. It was very tall, it went above the clouds even.
Naruto saw more and more shinobi gather around the area they where in. A voice eventually spoke up. "Ninety of you huh. By the end of this there will be less than half that. There is also one more thing Samui forgot to say. You can whatever flag you want. If a team had a platinum flag, then you can take it and take it in to pass. We do not care how you got it as long as you don't cheat." Karui finished as she signaled for people to hand out the silver flags.
"Go!" She shouted. Shinobis shot foward, but in the front...Naruto was no where to be found. Neither was Gaara. They where in fact walking.
"This should take a while to climb, do we might as well go at a steady paste." Naruto said as they walked.
Why that was happening, Sakura, Rock Lee, and Neji where running fool speed before stopping to take a break.
"Should we stop here and set up an ambush for enemy players?" Rock Lee asked.
"I think we should. It's a nice spot and plenty of cover for us to use." Sakura replied. Neji nodded. As the three got into possision, theybwhere anaqare thet they where being stalked. The shinobi from The Stone Village.
There here three of them. One early taller than the other two. He was clearly in charge of the group. "Het ready to attack them. That is our mission, to kill them after all." The man said. The other to nodded. The man was wearing a bandit mast while he wore regular shinobi attire. The other two where the same height.
One had black hair while the other had brown hair. They both wore a baggy black shirt tucked into black shirts. Plain faces nobody would point out, or remember without talking to them many times. The two split, oddly fast. The one in the middle smiled, nobody would know anyway is they saw him due to the mask.
He had a crazy look in his eyes. They where bloodshot eyes, he had a special hate for those Leaf shinobi, considering his whole family was wiped out by the 'Yellow Flash'. The man smiled wider, but blood soaked through his black mask.making it dark.
Rock Lee crouched behind a rock with Neji next to him. As Neji activated his Byakugan his eyes widened. He pushed Rock Lee away and then dodged a kunai. He looked where it. cam from. It was a young man with black hair. The young man rushed Neji, he was fast but Neji could keep up. He tilted his head dodging a punch.
"Bad choice." Neji said. He then activated the Gentle fist technique as he quickly close the chakra points on the mans body. He then did a final hit sending the man back. Sakura seeing what was going on was about to help, but dodged a kunai followed up with blocking a kick.
The man then jumped back. Earth Style: Eatyh Wall!" The brown headed man yelled. As Sakura went for a punch a wall of Earth separated them. Sakura smiled as she punched through the wall hitting the unsuspecting man sending flying against a wall.
Sakura smirked as she looked over at Neji who finished his fight just as easy. "Check him for a flag!" She called over. Neji searched the body but found nothing. Sakura the ended up with the same result.
"The must have a teamate then." Neji threw out an idea.
"Or they could've had there flag stolen." Sakura purposed.
"No. They where the only team ahead of us, I should've known we'd be there target, but I didn't expect them to come back." Neji said.
"Hey. Wheres Lee?" Sakura asked. Neji activate this Byakugan and looked around. He widens his eyes and pulled her down barely dodging a kunai. It just hit the top of Nejis hair.
"Fast." Is all Neji thought. When looking where it came from he saw a man standing there. He was six foot tall. Had a black mask with blood in it.
The man was holding a body, it was Rock Lee. He threw him down. "Don't worry he's alive, I want you to watch eachother die." The man said walking foward.
"Sakura, we need to be careful. This man was able to sneak attack Rock Lee and take him without making a sound. We need to make smart choices." Neji observed the situation.
The black and brown haired men where behind him now. The masked man didn't like this. He pulled out two kunai spinning them on his fingers and stabbed the into the men's necks in a blur, even in Nejis eyes. The men slowly choked on there own blood before going lifeless.
"You monster!" Sakura yelled. The man laughed.
"No, I'm not a monster. Your Yellow Flash was a monster." The man said walking foward. Neji and Sakura needed a plan to run, they had to get Rock Lee to.
"So you're doing for revenge? What will that solve?" Sakura asked.
"Eveeything!" The man yelled disappearing in a blur. He reappeared in front of Sakura and went to stab her, but was stopped by something holding his hand in place. Looking at his wrist was sand tightly around it. He then felt a pain in his gut as he was kicked away. The masked man flipped in the air and landed.
In front of him was Gaara. The masked man looked up. "Who the hell are you! You're stopping me from getting my revenge!" The man yelled. Sand shot from the side hitting the mask off. What was under, revealed why he wore a mask. It was a wound, it was his mouth. His cheeks where cut, making it look like he was always smiling.
"What happened to you?" Gaara asked.
"Why do you care?" The man asked gripping his kunai right.
"Just curious." Gaara responded.
"The Yellow Flash himself did this! He was a monster! He killed everyone important to me!" The man yelled. "And this wound, will always be a reminder of what he did until I die. Before that happens though, I will every single Leaf shinobi I see." The man finished.
Gaara rolled his eyes. Just let it go. For toy know how long that was?" Gaara asked.
"Yea I do, this wound hurts constantly, I could close it if I stopped smiling, but I think about destroying the Leaf constantly, and everytime I do, I can't help but grin." The man said smiling wider causing more blood to spill.
"The air is really thin, not to mention this being a rocky surface, would take a while before I could make more sand, I guess it's the old fashion way then." Gaara thought. "You need to let go of what hurt you! I know exactly how you feel, as I was very mistreated in my old village. I dream everynoght to destroy it, but I don't. I don't let rage or revenge consume me like that." Gaara finished blitzing the smiling man.
Gaara was now behind him, he threw a punch to the head, it was blocked by the smiling man who threw an elbow back. It was stopped by Gaaras hand who brought a knee into the mans back causeing him to bend backwards. Gaara let's go of his elbow and brought his own down right onto the mans face causeing him to collapse.
The man was on the ground looking at Gaara, the wound stretched as he smiled wider. Gaara brought his foot down towards the mans face. The man rolled before he could connect it. He was already up on his feet as he charged at Gaara. He threw a blur of attacks as Gaara blocked them.
A fist broke through, hitting Gaara on the nose pushing him back. Gaara stepped back, but rebounded with his own fist hitting the man on the face with enough force to make the man fly back. He hit a rock leaving a dent in it.
"Earth Style: Earth Bullet!" The man yelled. Many sharp rocks flew at Gaara fast. Gaara brought up his sand shield stopping the rock bullets. The sand spiraled and shot towards the man holding him against the rock, trapping him.
"Done and done." Gaara said wiping dust off his shirt.
"I'll kill you and those Leaf scum!" The man yelled as his wound was bleeding, fully open now. A kunai flies into view, in an oreange flash Naruto was now next to Gaara with two platinum flags.
"I got them, now we need to find the other three." Naruto said handing Gaara one of them.
"That...that flash! Its him! But hes dead. No, this was a different flash. It was oreange instead of yellow!" The man trapped in the sand thought. "You! How did you do that!" The man yelled at Naruto.
"The Flying Rigin? I'm the son of The Yellow Flash, witch doesn't matter now considering we'll probably have to kill you." Naruto said not giving the man a second glance.
"The son, I didn't know he had a son. It's not to late. Not to late to get my revenge. The Yellow Flash everything from me! I'll do the same!" The man yelled as he pushed against the sand. The rock cracked as the force was pushed against it
The man pushed through the sand as he rushed towards Naruto. He jumped at him, pulling out a kunai and bringing it down towards Naruto. Naruto dodged the attack and kicked him towards Gaara. Gaara pulled out a kunai and shoved it into the mans chest.
The man fell lifeless as it pierced his heart. He dropped the kunai. "That was kind of pointless, wasn't it?" Naruto asked.
"Not to him." Gaara responded letting his body drop. "Your dad killed a lot of important people to him. He was trying to do anything to get revenge, but he should've just let it go in the end." Gaara told Naruto.
"Where are the other two?" Naruto asked. Gaara pointed up a little. Naruto turned towards the location his finger was pointing and he saw the three he was looking for. Naruto and Gaara walked past them and handed them a platinum flag before they countinued.
They walked for a while before finally seeing the place where they needed to arrive. On top of the mountain was Karui and Darui. The five walked over to the two and handed them there flags.
"Great, you guys are the third and second to finish. Right behind Yigitos. Descend down the mountain over on that path. Down there you will head back and you will be free for today. Meet at the same building tomorrow for the last exam." Karui said pointing down the path they should walk down.
They descended the mountain and eventually where back in the village. They entered it and Naruto and Gaara split from the other three. Naruto arrived in his room and eventually layed in his bed, staring at the ceiling. Even though it sounded short, it took a whole day to make it on top of the mountain. He eventually lost consciousness and fell asleep.
