Tsunade shivered as a dark grin came upon Naruto's face. He turned to face all of his superiors, "Well speaking personally… Fuck you all!"
As the jaws dropped of everyone in the room Naruto began walking around the room, "Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you… Not you Iruka-sensei, you didn't say a thing. But yeah, basically, fuck everyone with no real input or a true perspective based on real knowledge."
He continued walking around the room, "You say my jutsu list is pitiful, did you ever know if anyone tried to teach me any? Have you ever seen me fight other than the one time against Neji? You say my control is shoddy, well if you have enough chakra to make upwards of one-thousand Kage Bunshin then I'd love to see you try and keep it up to snuff. You say my taijutsu sucks, come and fight me and find out just how bad at it I am. Having an aptitude at genjutsu is kind of hard without someone teaching it to you isn't it? All of you love to talk about how much you've heard that I suck to make you feel better about your own teams, but none of you have even the slightest idea of what I'm capable of, and while I kind of like that sometimes, right now it's really starting to piss me off."
Naruto finished and sat on Tsunade's desk calmly, "I can see you all have something to say. So go ahead and say it."
The room exploded with jounin and chunin yelling at Naruto for his disrespect and begging Tsunade to discipline him. Naruto turned to look at Tsunade and shrugged when he saw her massaging her temple, "Well you said I had the floor. That means I can say whatever I want."
Tsunade sighed in resignment, "I suppose I dug my own grave on that one…"
Asuma calmly stared Naruto down, "Do you really think you're ready for a promotion kid? You didn't come off as a world beater during the chunin exams."
Naruto scoffed, "Whatever, and I suppose you'd rather have someone like Shikamaru be promoted then instead of me."
Asuma blinked, "Actually yes, he showed great strategic thinking and combat savvy."
Naruto rolled his eyes, "Yeah, and what will he do when he ends up going against someone that can flat out overpower him and disrupt his plans. He's just lucky Temari got caught up in playing his game. If she really wanted to kill him she could have just ripped the tree he was hiding in up by the roots with her wind jutsu and crushed him. Hell I could beat Shikamaru, as a matter of fact I could beat your entire team if I had to."
He looked at Kurenai, "I could beat everyone on your team. Hell I beat Kiba with my chakra and reflexes disrupted an hour after finishing the second stage of the exams with no downtime."
Naruto shrugged, "You know what, as a matter of fact I could probably beat Gai's team too, I already beat Neji, Rock Lee's hurt and if he ever recovers will need rehab before he could step to me, and Tenten, I'll beat her the way Temari did if she hasn't learned anything new. And don't even get me started on my team… Those teams are apparently the best, which means that there isn't a single goddamn genin in this entire village that can beat me."
Tsunade spoke up before they all broke into another uproar, "That's quite a statement brat. Care to back that up with action?"
Naruto smirked at Tsunade, "Do you really want me to put ten of your genin in the hospital? You sure you can spare that kind of manpower?"
Tsunade couldn't help but return the smirk Naruto was giving her, "Fine then. In one week you will fight Asuma's, Kurenai's, and Gai's genin, in addition to the ones on your own team. If you can adequately impress then you'll be promoted to chunin." She spoke again as Naruto opened his mouth, "We'll handle anything further if you can get a promotion from this test."
Kurenai spoke up, "Hokage-sama you can't be serious. I don't know of any genin that can take on three other genin teams, let alone a rookie and the dead-last of this year's graduates."
Asuma nodded in agreement, "The kid has never shown anything special, what makes you think that something like this is necessary?"
Ibiki stepped forward, having kept silent the entire time, "This 'dead-last' as you so eloquently put it captured the Kazekage's children and took out an entire squad of Oto shinobi that had our own forces pinned down during the Suna-Oto invasion. He at least deserves the chance to prove something to all of you that can't see past the titles that you all gave him in the first place."
Naruto smiled, 'Note to self: Do not bombscare Ibiki with horrible, guerilla warfare-ass pranks.'
Tsunade nodded, "Thank you Ibiki." She looked out at the other amassed ninja, "I have personally seen this boy face down Orochimaru's spy Kabuto Yakushi and come out on top. He even went head-to-head with Orochimaru himself and helped me and Jiraiya fight him off. If he is what you call a dead-last then I'm glad that you didn't determine the skill levels back when I was a genin or else I would probably still be one."
Naruto looked at Tsunade, "So are we done? Because I would love to go and vent my frustrations right now. This entire meeting has pissed me right the fuck off."
Tsunade sighed, "Language brat. And yes, that was all I needed. Be at the chunin exam stadium at 10 a.m. next Monday for your fights."
Naruto nodded and bowed to her before moving to open and jump out the window to begin racing along the rooftops.
As soon as he left the office broke into a smattering of talk. Mostly centered around the audacity of Naruto and how 'that demon brat' was going to get slaughtered next week. Tsunade finally got fed up with it all, "SILENCE! What does this look like, the jounin lounge? Get out!" As they began to leave she called, "Asuma, Kurenai, Gai, you three stay."
They did as was told, "The rules for the test will be roughly that he will fight each genin one by one. The other rules will be given on the day of the test. You can all get together to determine the order in which you want them to fight. You all need to inform your teams of my decision for next week. Prepare them well, trust me, they'll need every bit of training they can get…"
Asuma looked skeptical, "It's just one genin Tsunade-sama. Even if we don't train them he couldn't possibly beat more than two in a row."
Tsunade gave up and shrugged, "It's your team Asuma, you can do whatever you feel you should with them. They're your responsibility. You're all dismissed."
