Naruto: Bound For Glory.

Last Minute Prep. Welcome to the Finals

Naruto last few days before the exams. The invisible seal that's on his arm has multiple purposes depending what he wants to use it for. But of course. He not going to reveal the fact that he has a seal on his arm. He had learned a few water Jutsus from His Crab summons, but what surprised the crab summons was naruto doing he Water dragon Jutsu. He recall watching Kakashi and Zabuza both performing this Ninjutsu.heboften wonder did Sasuke know the Jutsu as well.

Shikamaru has been as lazy as ever. But he did learn some new tricks. Thanks to Asuma sensei. Ino and Choji help him as well even though he felt it to be very troublesome.

The cloud team were resting for most of the month. They did train maybe a few times each week but they made sure not to reveal there skills too much considering the fact that they're not in their own village.

The sand team haven't trained at all which just proves to the Hokage that they're up to something. Especially after Baki feels that The Kazekage is possibly endanger.

Neji and Hinata are closer now as family than they were before. Hanabi is getting along better with her sister as well even though she can tell that Hinata sometimes gives her the cold shoulder. This is due for the Hyūga Elders trying to push for Hinata to receive the Cage bird seal.

Sasukei training with Kakashi was brutal. But it produced big results. Sasuke had gotten faster and is skilled to take down some high level opponent quickly. Kakashi strict training regime had reminded Sasuke of his father Fugaku Uchiha. Fugaku may have been arrogant but he wasn't the type to received anything without working for it. Kakashi talked to Sasuke about hard work and said he should never want things handed to him, especially if he truly wants to beat Itachi. Sure Itachi was a prodigy but he was far from a slouch. For the time being, Sasuke had a lot of thinking to do.

Kiba was upset cause he found out that Hana had went to see Naruto again. He couldn't wait to face Naruto in the finals so he can put whatever this thing his sister have with the deadlast to an end. Akamaru didn't like where this was going.

Naruto has been ask to Stop by the Hokage office to meet someone as he was interuppted from his make out session with With Hana. When he got outside of his office he knocked. He hears the word come in so he enters the office. Naruto was stunned after he walked in the office to see a red haired girl with glasses. The red hair is what got his attention the most.

Hiruzen: Ah Naruto. This girl wanted to meet you in person.

Naruto: I remember seeing her during the written portion of the exam as well as the second portion. * Look directly at the girl * Hi I'm Naruto Uzumaki what's your name* Offered handshake*

To his and the Hokage surprised, she walks to Naruto looking him into his eyes. Then she starts circling Naruto examining him as if she looking for something. She stops directly in front of him.

???: Are you really a Uzumaki? You don't have red hair like us. You do however have big chakra reserve like some Uzumaki have though.

Naruto: *Offended* Yes I'm an Uzumaki! My mom hair was red and I have a pic of her. See look!!!!

The girl looks at the photo and was shocked. She recognized the woman in the picture. She then see some facial resemblance between her and Naruto.

???: You're Princess Kushina's son!? I didn't know she had a child. That mean you're my cousin then* tears forming*

Naruto: C-Cousin??? I have a cousin???* Tears starting to form*

Karin: * hugs Naruto* Yes! My mother Shiori Uzumaki is your mom's big sister...

Naruto:* Hugs Karin back* I-I have family that's still alive....

Hiruzen waited for them to have there moment which went on for 20 minutes
