Chapter 11: Chunin Finals Part One

The crowd roared and cheered as Naruto stood in the center on the Suna chunin exam stadium. To his left stood Itachi and Anko while on his right were the Iwa and Kumo teams.

"That's a lot of people," Naruto muttered as Anko and Itachi had to nod in agreement. Easily all of the Suna shinobi and most of its civilians were here in the stadium along with a lot of foreign shinobi.

"GO NARUTO," Naruto heard as he looked up in the stadium and went a little bit red before smiling as he saw Tsunade Shizune and Hiruzen in the crowd. Tsunade had even made a giant flag that said Team Naruto and was waving it around.

Instead of being embarrassed he just laughed and gave Tsunade a thumbs up as grinned at him.

Just beside them was Mikoto and a few members of the Uchiha clan which included Fugaku, Sasuke, Ria and Itachi's family member Shisui who Naruto had met a couple of times before. Shisui was a lot like Itachi as well as did not have that Uchiha stick in the ass.

Little Ria was sitting on her mother's lap as she looked around happily at the site of a new place while waving her little hands at her oldest brother while Sasuke too had a big smile and cheered Itachi on.

Over on the other side of the stadium was the Kumo and Iwa lot that were mostly quiet and stoic. Though Naruto noticed that a lot of the Iwa shinobi were staring at him either in curiosity or with a glare on their face. The glares they have made him they would want to jump from their seats and attack him.

Then up in the Hokage box was his father along with the Kazekage, Raikage and surprisingly the Tsuchikage. His father was busy conversing with the Kazekage and had Kakashi standing beside him as a bodyguard. The Kazekage had a tanned man with half his face covered by white cover.

Beside the Tsuchikage who was an old man that was very short, old man with a triangular beard and a moustache that has angular corners, a big red nose and thick eyebrows. The top of his head is completely bald, although, he has long white hair on the lower-half of his head which is styled in a traditional chonmage hair cut. Over his shinobi coat he wore a mostly green and red coat.

Beside him was a large man wearing the traditional red Iwa uniform but had no sleeve on his right arm, showing his larger arms.

Then beside the Raikage was the same Jonin who accompanied him to Konoha just over a year ago.

As Naruto waited for the proctor to begin the third exam, he knew that his own family was missing from the stands.

Before they had left for Suna, Minato and Jiraiya had decided it would be best to keep the twins and Mina in Konoha since they did not want to risk any assassination attempts. Kushina had readily agreed which made Naruto angry.

He wondered if his parents actually remembered about him at all. They had not shown any concern when he left for Suna over a month ago and yet they were threatening over the twins. Instead of coming to Suna they would instead watch from the chunin stadium in the leaf where they would be playing the chunin exams on the big screen for those that had not gone to Suna to be able to watch it.

His eyesight then turned towards the shinobi he and his team would have to go against but noticed that the Iwa Kunoichi was glaring at him. Kurotsuchi who name he remembered outfit was the same as before but her eyes were brimming with confidence.

"I bet she has gotten a lot stronger since her grandfather is the Tsuchikage after all," he thought as he looked back up at the Kage Box to see Onoki looking down at his granddaughter with a prideful smile before he turned to Naruto gaze before narrowing a little and scoffed a little.

Over in the stands Tsuande who was keeping close eye on Naruto saw where his gaze was going san noticed Onoki looking at him.

She let a growl build up in her throat promising pain to Onoki if he tried anything during the exams.
