naruto helped kiba as they returned to theie teams, he was still dejected that he lost but he spent all his chakra just to hit the ten clones, he can't even use the spinning fang jutsu again let alone win.
as they walked up everyone was looking seriously at naruto, his new strengh, speed and tricks shocked especially those who knew him before.
"that's the way naruto" lee shouted hapilly.
"it seems the uchiha is nor the only strong person in that group" neji started taking naruto seriously.
"that's a pretty shocking performance naruto" kakashi said to naruto.
" hehe, thanks kakashi sensei" naruto replied.
meanwhile at a corner even orochimaru was surprised. " he should be weaker after i planted the five elemental seal on him not stronger, that kid is interesting as expected"
naruto made a quick look at orochimaru then looked away, he was looking at at a notification that popped up.
[ you defeated an oponent
+5% speed
+3 strengh]
[ you defeated an oponent personnally for the first time +5 skilll points]
[you unlocked talents and status window]
[ you have the five elemental seal planted on you, do you want to use 20 skill points to remove it?]
[you have the eight trigram seal, not recommended to undo]
...
he was surprised." the first time what about all tye shinobis from the forest?"
[ you only gain stats if you you defeat oponents with shadow clones, but for you to gain skill points, talents or bloodline abilities you must defeat your oponents personnaly]
" that make sense" he said.
then naruto looked at the elemental seal details first." so orochimaru did that?" naruto became angry and made in mind to remove the seal as soon as possible.
then he he looked at the second seal details: [the eight trigram seal is made by the forth hokage to seal the kyuubi inside of you, and make you the kyuubi jinshuriki]
" so that's what a jinshuriki is? then what is the kyuubi"
[ the kyuubi is one of the nine bijus existing sinse the beggining of the shinobi's era]
naruto asked a few more questions about the bijus and got a pretty cleae idea about who they are, but he still don't know why the forth hokage sealed it in him, that's something he decided to leave for later on.
the shunin exam continued as usual and there weren't any major changes.
with this the third stage of the shunin exam ended and the forth stage was scheduled to be a month later.
konoha was lively this month but there where many undercurrents, naruto knew that because of the occational window status he get when he scan people. he knows orochimaru has something to do with this but he has no way of saying this because he doesn't have a proof.
one day he was walking by some hot springs until he spotted an old man with long white hair sneaking into the women's spring.
naruto squinted his eyes." who is that pervert"
he closed on him and kicked him in the butt
"who dares disturb me at the best part" the old man shouted then he saw naruto standing there looking at him.
"what are you doing perver"
naruto said.
" how dare you, you don't know who i am?"
he started making his weird dance and at the end he said "i'm the great sage, jiraya sama"
naruto was surprised when he heard this ' juraya of the three sanin?' he thought then focused on him.
[ jiraya: kage
speciam status: mount moubyuku sage]
"great, that's what i was looking for " naruto shouted.
