Chapter 157 - Chapter 157

Naruto looked at Ichigo's blade as he analyzed the attack just used; interesting that seems to be a chakra based attack similar to the ones the Samurai of Tatsu No Kuni use. However it also has some fundamental difference, namely that its stronger and takes less control to release it. Judging by the amount of raw chakra put into that attack, I feel it's safe to assume that the more chakra put into it the stronger the attack becomes. It may also have something to do with the sword he is using, which kind of reminds me of the swords that are used by the Kiri no Shinobigatana Nananin Shu. I wonder if I can create a technique similar to that and use it with Susanoo.

Naruto looked back at the battle just in time to see Ichigo smash the pommel of his sword against Geosa's face. The Konoha shinobi landed on the ground completely dazed and out of it, seeing that the genin was not going to get up Naruto called the match.

"Winner by knockout is Carrot Top!"

"What did you call me fishcake!" Ichigo growled as he glared at the blond ninja.

Naruto grinned, "what you don't like your new nickname? Well I suppose I can just call you strawberry again…"

"Now listen here you, I don't care if you are an S class shinobi I'll still kick your ass!" Ichigo shouted as he glared at Naruto.

Naruto gave him a smirk, "right you think that. But you should know even if by some miracle you did defeat me, Mei-chan would melt your balls off."

Ichigo paled as he remembered the rumor that this man and his Mizukage were very intimate with each other. While he himself had never seen the two of them together, since he had always been on missions or at the academy. Many other people had, and would often speak about how romantic it was that their hero and Mizukage were together. He muttered an apology to the blond as he hurried back up to his team, leaving all of the ninja who were not from Kiri confused.

Seeing that all the battles were now done, Naruto called the genin back down before beginning his small speech. "Congratulations to all of those who passed! You have truly shown that you are the best of your village, be proud that you have made it this far! Now the final exam will take place in one month, I suggest you use that time wisely to train and create strategies to defeat your opponents!" Naruto paused for a moment to let his words sink in, "now normally we would draw numbers and you would find out who you're facing. However we won't be doing that this time, in live combat you almost never know who your opponent is until you start fighting, so to shall it be with this tournament. Therefore I suggest you train to be able to counter any opponent you may come across! Good luck and I will see you in the exams!"

As the genin began to filter out, Naruto went over to Tsunade. Wanting to talk to her about something for the upcoming final exam.

XXXXX

Naruto clapped his hands together, as he looked at the three genin who were with him at training ground seven. He had spoken with Tsunade and there sensei Ebisu, and had managed to get their permission to train these three for the Chunin Exams finals. Standing in front of him were Konohamaru, Moegi and Udon, it was his plan to train these three during the one month hiatus. While he had seen that these three were decent for genin, Naruto knew they would need to be better. Especially when they ended up fighting the Kiri genin, who from what he had seen, were much better than any of the other genin in the Exams.

"Alright!" Naruto said as he looked between the three genin, "I'm sure you all know why you are here. I plan on training you for this month before the Chunin Exams; I'll be training you guys in all facets of the ninja way." Naruto paused for a second as the three genin looked absolutely ecstatic, "however before we get started on your training, I want to see how well you three perform. While I've seen how the three of you fight during the preliminaries, I've always been of the belief that you never truly know what others are capable of, unless you battle them yourselves."

Naruto reached into his pouch and pulled out two bells, attaching them to his pants as he turned to the three genin. "Your jobs will be to get these two bells from me using everything trick you can think of. Don't worry," Naruto said as he saw Moegi open her mouth to speak, "you don't have to worry about actually getting a bell. I will be training all of you regardless of whether any of you get a bell; I merely wish to see what you're capable of. Also," a smirk quirked at the corner of Naruto's lips as he stared at the three, "you three will need to come at me with the intent to kill, if you want any hopes of even laying a scratch on me."

The three genin's eyes widened, causing Naruto's smirk to increase. For a moment everyone in the clearing was silent, until Naruto decided to get the fun started. "Well what are waiting for, the test starts now!"

With that the three genin took off, moving to hide into the trees.

Naruto chuckled as his enhanced senses were able to find their locations easily enough, while they were decent for genin and may give Chunin a good while to detect, they were no match for someone who made a hobby of hiding from the Anbu in his youth. The blond shinobi reached into his pouch activating one of the many containment seals in it, there was a poof of smoke as Naruto pulled out an apple. Taking an exaggerated bite out the juicy fruit, Naruto concentrated on the chakra signatures of the three genin who were hiding just a little to his left in the tree line.

Several minutes later Konohamaru burst out of the trees, tossing kunai and shuriken at Naruto in an effort to distract him. Naruto used the hand that was not eating an apple to catch all of the projectiles, before putting them in his pouch. As he turned his attention to the spiky haired genin, Naruto felt foreign chakra invading his coils and smirked. He discreetly released the genjutsu Moegi tried to cast on him, making Konohamaru shimmer before his position changed. The young Sarutobi heir was unaware of this as he continued his charge, jumping into the air and launching a kick at Naruto. Said blond merely disappeared the moment Konohamaru's kick would have connected, making the genin stumble to the ground and look around before freezing as a voice spoke up behind him.
