Chapter 65 - Chuunin Exams Third Phase [3]

''...''

Sasuke and Sakura turned to look towards Naruto, however, the shock of the black-haired teenager was just huge 'He... he's the son of the Fourth Hokage! But... the Yondaime is Konoha's Hero, how could they treat Naruto like that? - even if he wasn't the Fourth Hokage's son - nobody deserves such treatment!' he thought as the disgust and hate he has towards the Village started to grow ever so slightly.

'N-Naruto is the Yondaime's son? How come I never noticed that, now that I look at him closely, he's like a copy of the Fourth Hokage!' Sakura thought, wondering why nobody ever noticed that after 12 years passed.

These pieces of news were going to spread through the entire Village - and the world - like Fire spreads when it comes in contact with gasoline, regret would fill the mind of the Villagers that mistreated Naruto and their fear towards him would just increase, despite just being a Genin, the blonde teenager already had a title spread through the entire Ninja World - the Sadistic Demon, what if he wanted revenge?

How would they react if they knew their wondering thought was the unavoidable, harsh truth?

Just then, Hiruzen's powerful voice reverberated through the entire Great Arena, calming everyone's mind ''However, that shouldn't affect the Chuunin Exams, may the third fight start!'' the old Hokage said as it was Sasuke's fight.

''Dosu Kinuta didn't appear, as such, Sasuke Uchiha pass to the next round! The next fight is Temari versus Neji Hyuuga'' Once again, the crowd roared as both Sand-nin and Konoha-nin went to the stage.

That fight wasn't anything expected, in less than a minute, Temari was lying in the ground, Neji easily defeated her by sealing all of her Chakra Points.

The next fight was Haku versus Hinata and surprisingly, the Byakugan Princess was able to make the long-haired youngster use his full strength due to her 'Gentle Fist' and 'Hakkesho Kaiten (Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven)', even though she could defend against almost all of Haku's attacks, eventually, she got low on Chakra and was defeated.

Then it came the first-round finale ''The last fight of the first round, Uchiha Hensuke versus Gaara!'' the new Proctor announced as the crowd roared in excitement as usual, the previous fights were good but they expected this one to be better, these were the genius from Sunagakure and one of the Uchiha Clan genius!

As both Sand-nin and Konoha-nin got to the stage, Naruto said towards Kakashi, that was hiding within the shadows ''Nee nee, Nii-san, Sasuke told me that you trained Hensuke this month, did you teach him Chidori? I don't see him being able to even getting past Gaara's defense without it.''

The white-haired man thought while despairing slightly 'Argh, how can he always find me even when I hide my Chakra Signature perfectly?'

Then, Kakashi said with a small smile ''Yes, he's a good brat to teach, I've taken him as my apprentice along with Sasuke, just watch, I think he'll be able to win!''

The fight started with Gaara's Sand pursuing Hensuke, that skillfully flipped back continuously before disappearing from his place, suddenly, he was behind Gaara and sent a punch, however, it was blocked, just then, spikes made of Sand came out of the red-haired youngster's Sand defense.

'I'll need a much higher speed and piercing power, it seems that I'll use 'that' so early, eh?' Hensuke thought before jumping towards the wall and doing hand signs as Lightning started to gather and flicker around his hands, the sound of chirping birds reverberated through the entire Great Arena.

As he ran down, the wall was left with a deep mark, as if a sword was cutting all the way down to the ground, Hensuke then suddenly sped up and in an instant, he was already in front of Gaara, that noticed the extreme threat and covered himself inside a Sand Dome that had spikes coming out of it, however, Hensuke's hands seemed to ignore it as the Lightning-filled hand pierced Gaara's shoulder.

''Chidori!'' Hensuke said with a small smile beaming over his face, however, as his eyes, that were now Sharingans, stared towards Gaara's own eyes, cold sweat started to drip down his face 'W-What is these eyes?' he thought but quickly retreated, a monstrous arm pursuing him.

''My blood? IT'S MY BLOOD! GAAAAH! MOTHER, IT'S MY BLOOD!'' Gaara suddenly started to mutter before these mutterings changed to crazy yells, his body started to change into a monstrous-like form as he ran out of the Great Arena.

Suddenly, within the Kage's chair, the Kazekage smirked before putting a Kunai on Hiruzen's neck ''Hello, Hiruzen-sensei, it's nice to meet you again, don't you think?'' the Kazekage said while l.i.c.k.i.n.g his lips, it turned out to be Orochimaru!

They talked for a few moments before a Fuuinjutsu barrier was made, feathers started to fall down the Great Arena as a Genjutsu was cast, Naruto noticed it in an instant as he quickly freed himself and friends from it, just then, he looked towards the Kage's spectator place and noticed the Fuuinjutsu barrier.

'Orochimaru? Oh... he's planning to kill the Hokage, eh?' Naruto thought, with his Fuuinjutsu level, he could easily that barrier, however, a wicked smile soon appeared over his face 'It seems that your time has come, Jiji, maybe this is the price you pay for being such a 'kind' person?' Naruto thought before turning his eyes to the direction Gaara ran.

Looking one last time towards the Fuuinjutsu barrier that was set up by Orochimaru, Naruto thought before flickering away 'Though I don't like to admit that, Jiji is really strong, even stronger than Orochimaru, I can feel it. However, since that Snake Weirdo did such thing, it can only mean he has some confidence.'

Noticing that Naruto went towards Gaara's direction, Hensuke, Sasuke, Sakura and Haku wanted to follow him, however, Kakashi didn't let them do so ''You four, let Naruto deal with Gaara, only him is able to do that because of reasons I won't tell you, for now, focus on dealing with these Ninjas over there, infiltrated ANBU.''

He said, his voice was powerful enough so that the four of them just couldn't reject, meanwhile, Naruto looked at the monstrous-like form Gaara now had, he smirked 'Kuu-san, is that the stupid Raccon you always secretly curses? It seems that we'll be able to slap him quite a few times!' he thought as Kurama also smirked.
