Naruto Of The Shadow Clones

Chapter 27 Let The Games Begin

Chunnin Exams:

It was currently five minutes to nine and the stadium was packed. Sakura looked around from where she was standing with the rest of the contestants for the final exam in awe at how many people were packed into the stadium.

She noticed with a jolt that neither of her teammates were there though and started worrying as the proctor was looking at his watch.

She wasn't the only one who had noticed though. All of the other contestants had noticed and had various thoughts ranging from smug arrogance to calm indifference.

'Naruto and Sasuke better get here quick.' Sakura thought while biting her lower lip.

'Looks like the failure has realized that he cannot win even if he tried.' Neji thought to himself as he smirked to himself.

'Where is Uzumaki? He's going to be late.' Gaara thought looking around without turning his head as he scanned his surroundings. His brother and sister had similar thoughts.

All of a sudden, a vortex of wind and flame appeared as Naruto used a combined wind and fire elemental shunshine.

The crowd roared as they saw the unusual method that Naruto had entered the stadium and Naruto grinned before giving a quick wave as he looked around before getting in line next to his teammate. In the stands, two brown haired Genin that were sitting next to each other shook their heads as they thought the same thing.

'Show off.'

He gave nods to the sand team which were returned as he took his place. He noticed that Hayate wasn't the one who seemed to be proctoring but shrugged it off thinking that the Leaf's resident sword master was probably somewhere where he could be more use when the invasion started.

He cocked his eyebrow as he noticed something about Sakura. Her long hair that had reached halfway down her back was now much shorter, only reaching her shoulders. She had also got rid of the long split battle dress she had worn before and traded it for one that only reached just above her knees.

Sakura saw this and knowing what she was about to be asked said "The dress had been getting in the way for a while now and I realized that shorter hair was better in the long run."

Naruto nodded at this and looked around again before he frowned as he noticed that Sasuke wasn't there yet.

That frown quickly turned into a grin as a minute later another vortex, this one with wind and lightning suddenly came into existence right where Naruto had just been.

The crowd roared even louder as two figures appeared back to back.

Naruto shook his head as he said "Cutting it a little close eh guys?"

Kakashi rubbed the back of his head before he said "Hey, we're on time aren't we?"

Naruto just shook his head before noticing that Sasuke had also changed his appearance. He was now in a black one piece outfit with belts running along one of his arms and his hair was now longer as well. He still had a chicken butt in the back though.

Naruto smirked as he thought that before getting serious as Sasuke took his position and the proctor snapped his pocket watch shut before turning to Kakashi and asking him to leave the arena.
