Reincarnation – Naruto

After a week of practice, I was barely able to cut leaves. I knew there was no way I could master nature transformation. So I went and asked Khushina to teach me the flying thunder god.

It took me two weeks to master the basics. Now I could instantly teleport to my seals but I was still not able to switch places or switch two different objects. But right now this would suffice. Tomorrow was the day for the finals of the chunin exam.

"Tomorrow something might happen during the chunin exams. Mom, I want you to pretend to help the third hokage tomorrow."

"But why sochi? I hate that guy."

"Because if we don't help him, people will think we were plotting against him. We need to at least pretend. As for Izumi nee and Mikoto nee, I would like both of you to help the villagers. This way no one could question your loyalty to the village." I had invited Izumi and Mikoto specially for this discussion.

“Ok, Naruto kun. We’ll do as you suggested.” After having dinner, we all went to bed.

In the morning we all gathered in the arena for the finals. I was called in for my match with Neji.

"Just give up. It's your destiny to fail to me."

"How do you know? Did destiny personally tell you this?"

"Don't mock me. I am a member of the Hyuga clan. There is no way some freshly graduated genin could defeat me."

"So you are just assuming. In fact, for all you know your destiny is to be killed protecting me." this seemed to irk him.

As soon as the examiner called for the start of the round, Neji rushed toward me. I knew that all tricks were meaningless in front of the Byakugan. It provided him with a 360 degree vision so all my actions would be visible to him.

So as soon as he started attacking me with 8 trigrams, I waited till the very last second covered both my hands with armament haki, and deflected his attacks. He was surprised by this which gave me a few seconds. I created a rasengan in my right hand and blasted him with it. Before he could react, I was beside him with a kunai on his neck.

"Looks like your destiny abandoned you." I mocked.

"Winner Naruto Uzumaki." the proctor announced. Neji was visibly shocked at the result.

"Don't talk as if you know anything. Even my father died. What makes you think you are special or undefeatable?" I could see him realize something. But I couldn't be sure that his realizations were correct. For all I knew he might be thinking that he lost because I am the son of the fourth hokage.

But it was not my problem anymore. Since Sasuke was not there yet, his exam was postponed. The next matches were similar. In the match between Kankuro vs Shino, Kankuro gave up. Similarly in the match between Shikamaru vs Temari, Shikamaru caught Temari but eventually had to give up because there was no way he could actually defeat her.

Finally, before Sasuke was disqualified he and Kakashi arrived at the arena.

"Are we late?" Kakashi asked with nonchalance.

"You are just in time." the proctor announced the start of the match.

"Kakashi sensei, you are always late. If not for the interest of both the Kage in Sasuke's match he would have been disqualified."

"I knew they wouldn't disqualify him unless we were too late."

The match went as expected. The only difference was that Gaara was on the back foot. Sasuke had trained with us many times. Due to his competitive spirit, he was much more motivated to work harder. When Gaara attacked him with his sand, he easily dodged it.

As soon as Sasuke used the Chidori to attack Gaara's turtle shell, Kabuto started using genjutsu. Orochimaru's goons threw a smoke bomb and Orochimaru took the third Hokage on the rooftop. Sometimes I wonder how idiotic the Anbu can be.

They waited and watched till the four flame formation was erected. Then Orochimaru started going on a rant about how he liked things to keep moving. I mean just kill the old man and be done with it.

"Does Konoha truly hold that much value?" I liked this line of his. Maybe in the past, it held immense value, but now it was just a shell of its past glory.

It was my turn to leave. I had already scouted Danzo's base and placed my flying thunder god mark near it.

Naruto’s clone at Hokage vs Orochimaru POV

Orochimaru attacked Hokage using a snake but he turned into a mud clone. They exchange simple blows. When Sarutobi used shuriken shadow clone juice, Orochimaru performed the reanimation jutsu. But Sarutobi stopped the third summon.

Soon the fight between the three Hokages started. For me, it was a high point to see the proud fire jutsu of the third being easily dealt with the second's water style water wall jutsu. The look of surprise and everyone's face when they realized that the third was nowhere near the second and the first in terms of power was priceless. And they didn't even know that this was not their full power.

I signaled Kushina to help the third. She went ahead and started attacking the barrier. Kakashi and Guy were handling the Ninjas attacking us. One of my clones went with Sakura and Shikamaru to help Sasuke. It should be noted that Sakura was not a complete weakling. When the two Ninjas attacked her she easily killed them.

The second attack the third with water style water shock wave jutsu. A cyclone of water rushed towards the third. He counted it with earth style mud wall jutsu. A mud wall was erected just in time and saved the third

The first then went with taijutsu and trashed the third. Sarutobi's fire style was blocked with his bare hands. The second then grabbed the third and pulled him inside the water present, but the third escaped and started climbing the mud wall. But the second destroyed the mud wall using water style.

Sarutobi was panting heavily by this time. The first then attack using deep forest emergence. Sarutobi was caught by the trees but you freed himself because he had already performed the hand seals for the summoning jutsu.

The first and the second tried to stop Enma from transforming but were unsuccessful. Orochimaru then pulled out his Kusanagi sword in a disgusting way. A battle between Orochimaru and Sarutobi started using Enma and the Kusanagi sword.

Finally, when the third was defeated, Orochimaru started a pointless discussion. But Enma intervened but Orochimaru dodged. Sautobi tried to blow the first and the second using paper bombs, but they reattached themselves.

Orochimaru then revealed that he had taken over a new body. The first attacked again using deep forest emergence but the third protected himself by creating a jail using Enma. Then he created two shadow clones. People were surprised that he would distribute the little Chakra that he had left.

But then he performed the reaper death seal. The second then performed genjutsu infinite darkness jutsu. The third then went on his rant about the will of fire one last time. The third then caught the first and the second using the shadow clone jutsu and had the reaper consume his soul.

Orochimaru was surprised but soon they started fighting again. Enma was caught by Orochimaru but the third caught him and started sealing him. Orochimaru controlled his Kusanagi sword and impaled the third. But Enma arrived just in time and stopped the sword from fully killing him.

The barrier suddenly broke but the third had already taken away Orochimaru's hand and sealed it. Seeing that there was nothing more to do, Kabuto arrived and took Orochimaru and the sound ninjas away.

While the battle was happening, Kushina was trying to break the barrier. Since she could not touch the barrier itself, she attacked it using rasengan. But she was surprised that there was not even a dent in the barrier. She started gradually increasing the size of the rasengan.

Since she could not take too much time, she used Kurama’s chakra. She only used one tails worth of chakra. She had the excuse that she didn’t want to loosen the seal on Kurama too much. Konoha couldn’t afford a lose nine tails right now.

But even with one tail worth of chakra, there was only a crack in the barrier. When Sarutobi was just about to die, She used three tails worth of chakra momentarily and broke the barrier. She knew that once the reaper death seal was used, there was no way to prevent death, no matter how many sharingan one had.

Everyone then gathered around the third Hokage and he again started sprouting the bullshit of fire. I felt like yawning. Finally, one obstacle was dead and hopefully, the second one was too. I just had to wait for the original. And knowing my strength, there was no way that he was defeated. The only thing that worried me is that the bandaged cunt could escape. I just hope that my observation haki was enough to kill him.
