Underestimated Genius

Ch 11) Chunin Exams: Stage 1

Sorry it took so long guys. I wanted a break after writing that insanely long chapter. But, I'm back now. So let's continue with the story.

When Naruto made it to the Ramen Stand, he sat down in his regular seat and yelled out his order, "Hey Teuchi-San, 3 bowls of Miso Ramen please."

"Ah, Naruto, how have you been. I haven't seen you here for awhile," the old man replied, while getting the ingredients to make Naruto's Ramen.

"I'm good. I've just been training a lot. I actually just got back from a mission, yesterday. It was an A-Rank, can you believe it," Naruto said with a grin on his face for his amazing accomplishment so early in his Ninja Career.

Teuchi was now more invested in the conversation. "No I can't. Was it a success?"

"Duh, who do you think it is you're talking to," A smug grin showed up on the blond's face.

"Well, you are known as the dead last of your year, so I had to ask."

"That was an act," Naruto simply replied, with all seriousness.

Teuch had some trouble believing him. "Is that so?"

"Here, I'll prove it."

Before Teuchi could ask how, Naruto stood up and performed the Shadow Clone Jutsu, creating about 20 clones that completely fulfilled the stand's occupant limit.

"Well, I stand corrected."

"Uh huh," Naruto took the bowls of Ramen that Teuchi was handing him. Once he started consuming the food, Ayame walked out from the back room, having heard Naruto's voice.

"Naruto!!!" Ayame launched herself at the boy.

"Hey, Ayame," Naruto replied before going back to eating his Ramen.

While Naruto continued to eat, they talked about various things including, his clothes, training, and other less important things, like what has been going on in the village while he was gone, which wasn't much apparently. After he finished his food, Naruto went back to the training ground so he could better strengthen his team.

When he got there, his team was there waiting for him. "Alright, Sakura, I want you to continue your Chakra training. But this time with water, instead of the tree. Now get to it!"

"Jeez, you don't have to be so forceful about it," Sakura mutters under her breath while heading towards the water.

"Now, Sasuke, I want you to practice your Taijutsu by sparring with me again. No weapons, your Bukujutsu is good enough as it is," Naruto informed him before getting in his Gorilla Taijutsu stance.

Sasuke followed suit with his Signature Uchiha Taijutsu stance, the Interceptor Fist. He rushed at Naruto at his fastest speed, well fastest speed with the weights anyway. He pulled back a fist to punch Naruto in the face. Naruto put his arms up in an x, blocking the fist while adding Chakra to his feet in order to prevent being knocked back even a little bit.

As soon as Sasuke's fist connected with Naruto's forearms, Naruto twisted his wrist grabbing Sasuke's arm and slamming him into the ground with Chakra enhanced strength for added effect. When Sasuke tried to get back up, Naruto gave him a Chakra enhanced kick to his stomach. Sasuke went flying back 20 ft, smashing into the ground, as he descended.

Before Sasuke could get up, Naruto appeared right behind him, and pressed him back down with a foot on his back. "Remember when I told you about Chakra enhancement?" Naruto asked the now injured boy, who's still lying on the ground.

"Yes," Sasuke grunted, trying to push Naruto off of him, but to no avail.

"Well it goes both ways. It can be used for offence and defense. That's why, when you punched me, it didn't knock me back at all. Even though you were using full strength and speed," Naruto took his foot away, letting the Uchiha get back up.
