I should've waited a couple years to take the chūnin exams. Everyone here is so weak and hasn't put up a decent fight.

I'm currently on lookout while my teammates loot the Kusa team we just knocked out.

While I could've dealt with them easily, Birque wanted to test out one of his homemade poisons. We had to cover our mouths while he spread a white powder through the air, using his giant fan to discreetly blow it over to the grass shinobi.

It started with mild coughing, to heavy breathing, vomiting and finally blacking out. Kid said it isn't suppose to be lethal as it's mostly used to knock people out for later interrogation.

When I questioned the fan user on the contents, he said it was family secret. Apparently, his family consisted of poison users, one of their ancestors even taught Lady Chiyo during her youth.

From what I hear, it's a special recipe that's been passed down from generation to generation. Guess he wanted to witness the fruits of his labors and see if he needs to make any adjustments.

Anyway, after a couple of seconds the two finally found a heaven scroll in the weakest shinobi's pocket, meaning we qualify for the finals. I store the scroll in my [Inventory] and we make our way over to the central tower.

On our way there, the clones studying Natsu's seal disperse and pass on their memories.

Ping!

I smirk at the information and shake my head at what I just saw.

Kazuki : 'You sick bastards...'

Enkimu : "I see the tower up ahead, do you sense anyone nearby?"

Kazuki : "My clones haven't reported anything, seems we're in the clear"

It took us 20 minutes to reach the assigned area, which was just a hallway of open doors waiting for us enter. Just before walking into the building, I summon a clone of 10 chakra and whisper...

Kazuki : "You guys observe the other participants and learn everything you can about them. Don't get spotted"

Clone : "Got it"

The clone poofs away, sending my message to the others in the forest. If anyone else manages to get through, I'd like to know what they're capable of.

We continue into the central tower and see the board that tells us to open up the black and white scrolls. So my teammates do, unveiling a summoning formula with the kanji for person in the center.

Smoke emits from the seals inside and the proctor from the first exam appears before us, his usual serious expression is exchanged with one of confusion.

Neito : "You're done already?"

Kazuki : "The area and other participants weren't much of challenge, even managed to snatch us up an extra earth scroll"

Reaching into one of his many pockets, the proctor pulls out a pocket watch and looks at the time.

Neito : "It took you only 47 minutes, well then, you're free to choose any of the rooms we have available here. Remain in the tower for the duration of the exam, we'll call for you once the 5 days come to an end"

Throwing half a ram seal, the man disappears and we each head up the residential area to rest. Even though we were only in there 47 minutes, I feel like lazing around the rest of my time here.

I'll just.....grab a few.....zzz

~5 Days Later~

And that should about do it....done. I finished writing up the draft for the first part of Attack on Titan. I could've finished earlier using shadow clones, but I had nothing to do these past 5 days and just worked on the draft to pass the time.

Besides, it's too risky trying to develop jutsu in here. I know they have cameras watching us, can't risk letting Danzo know about what I can do. The warning I left with Natsu is gonna draw some attention but not too much.

Anyway, when the clock hit 12 we were all called to the main hall, where it's revealed that only 3 teams managed to pass. One from Kumo and the other from Konoha.

Looking over at the teams, every member had at least one major injury. Guess the forest was more difficult for them. When the upper Konoha regiment came over, I looked at the one that stood out the most...

Hiruzen Sarutobi, The Third Hokage
Level - 102
Rep - 0 [Foreign Shinobi]

This is the highest level I've seen a human have. I knew he was strong but I didn't expect this much of a margin. He could easily deal with Rasa if the two were to duke it out, despite being in his late 50's.

Hiruzen : "*clears throat* Now then, first allow me to congratulate you all on making it through the second exam. I know some of you are tired and wish to return home as soon as possible to share the good news so I'll keep my explanation short"

Hiruzen : "During the third exam, you'll be participating in one on one combat, the people to your side are going be your opponents during the tournament next month"

Chee : "Next month? What do you mean by that?"

Hiruzen : "As I said, the next exam involves fighting the people you see before you. The month gives you time to improve yourself and to alert the feudal lords who wish to attend of the results, I'm also sure the second exam has shown you something you wish to improve"

Hiruzen : "Now, before dismissing you all, we must do one final thing'

The proctor comes up to the first team and holds out a ballot box with a hole at the top.

Hiruzen : "You must draw ballots to see who you'll be facing. The team from Kumo will draw first"

We each draw our ballots and I frown at the match ups.

Birque vs Genshin

Jurota Katsuki  vs Enkimu

Kosei vs J

Toburaba

Kazuki Inei vs Chee

Looks like I'm fighting an extra round, whether or not that's a good thing depends on my opponents strength. And judging from the clones memories, all members of the Kumo team possess pretty strong lightning and water jutsu.

I remember seeing that Chee girl tear apart the Iwa team single handily. She's definitely a tough cookie but overconfident. I look over at my opponent and she's currently grinning at me while cracking her knuckles.

I'm gonna destroy her.

Hiruzen : "Now that you know who you're up against, you're free to leave. We'll reconvene in one month"

The Hokage walks away with his entourage close behind, allowing Yashamaru to approach us with a calm expression on his face.

Yashamaru : "Congratulations on making it to the finals you three. I'm sure you're all tired from the exams so we've been granted one more night within the village, allowing us to rest before returning to Suna"

Kazuki : "We've been here since day one sensei, we got plenty of rest already"

Yashamaru : "What? You made it to the tower on day one?"

Birque : "Yeah, it's thanks to Kazuki's amazing scouting skills that we managed to find two teams and take their scrolls"

Yashamaru : "Well then, if you're up for it let us return to Suna immediately. The other teams have already left so we'll be on our own the whole way back"

So after going back to the hotel and making sure we gathered all our belongings, we head out the gates and make our way back to Suna. While the others inform Yashamaru about what we did during the exams, I was too busy thinking about my training schedule for the next month.

I should probably max out [Barrier Ninjutsu] during that time, maybe even develop some new jutsu, modify Hollow and Narukami and practice wielding [Kiba].

Combined with [Power Release], those blades are on another level.

~3 Days Later~

When we arrived at Suna, we immediately went to the Kazekage's office to report the results. After Yashamaru explained everything, it was Rasa's turn to speak.

Rasa : "I see. So was this Forest of Death perilous?"

Kazuki : "Not really. Just a few giant wildlife creatures, poisonous plants and cold nights. Maybe about the same kind of dangers you face in the Demon Desert"

Rasa : "I heard all the other teams were disqualified before the first exam even started, why didn't you tell them?"

Kazuki : "Having too many people pass the exams would've been a pain to deal with. I don't care if they're from my village, I'm not always going to be around to hold their hands"

Rasa : "Good. If they couldn't figure it out on their own then they aren't fit to advance. Now then, since you're the only team to have made it to the finals, you'll be excluded from missions until after the exams. For the next month, I want you three training hard to show the other nations the strength of Suna"

Team/Kazuki : "Yes Lord Fourth!/Ugh..."

Rasa : "You're dismissed"

We walk out of the office and just before I separate from everyone, sensei spoke out to me.

Yashamaru : "Kazuki, if you need any help during training you could always come to me"

Nah, I can't afford to slow down. Plus, I'm sure those two are gonna need a lot more help.

Kazuki : "Thanks for the offer sensei, but I prefer to stick to my own regiment"

Yasahamaru : "I see, then train well"

Once I left the building, I head over to the Armory and find Shira doing handstand push-ups out front. He sees me approaching and grins.

Shira : "Welcome home sensei!"

Kazuki : "Yo, still working hard I see. How have you been the last couple of days?"

Shira : "I've been fine. Been training everyday with your clone, he gives me a lot of useful tips"

Right when he said that, the clone walks out of the training building and looks at me with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face.

Clone 1 : "Seems you got in without a hitch"

Kazuki : "Sigh....yeah, but the exams and participants were too easy. I'm thinking of not showing up and just waiting until someone strong comes along"

Clone 1 : "If only, but this is the only way of getting out of working with kids. You really want to spend another six months with those brats from before?"

Kazuki : "No...Anyway, you feeling strange or anything. Been almost 2 weeks since I summoned you"

Clone 1 : "I feel fine actually"

Kazuki : "That's good, because I actually just thought of a way to-"

Shit, I almost forgot Shira's listening in on our conversation. I tell the kid to stop working out for a bit and see how far he's gone in controlling his chakra.

Kazuki : "By the way Shira, have you been practicing [Paper-Sticking] like I told you to?"

Shira : "Yes but I usually pass out from running out of chakra"

Kazuki : "Well seeing as you're only 5, it's pretty obvious that your chakra supply is low. Although I had Shukaku increasing my reserves, my control sucked when I was your age and I had to use up so much chakra just to hold a single piece of paper"

Kazuki : "I promise you, when you have proper control, you'll be superior to most of the jōnin here in Suna"

Shira : "So, you also had trouble sensei?"

Kazuki : "Of course, proper chakra control is one of the hardest thing you can learn as a ninja. Learning jutsu is easy when you have someone to show you, control can only but done with your hard work. I didn't peg you for the type to give up"

The fires in his eyes reignite, transforming into a wonderful blaze that could turn sand to glass.

Shira : "I didn't say I was giving up, I'll never give up on becoming a shinobi!"

Kazuki : "*grins* That's the spirit, now get to practicing"

He goes inside the building and I pull my clone aside to talk with him in private.

Clone 1 : "That kid's easily gonna surpass Lee if he can master chakra control"

Kazuki : "Indeed. Now where was I.....oh yeah, seeing as you've remained active the whole time, what if I was to summon several clones with a large chunk of my chakra and keep them just outside of Konoha's detection range, once I'm running low on chakra I could just dispel them and instantly restore my reserves"

Clone 1 : "That could work, but that would be cheating and very wrong...."

I just stared at him blankly before we both burst out laughing.

Kazuki : "Ah man, I though you were serious"

Clone 1 : "C'mon now, we're ninjas, ain't no one give a fuck if we fight fair. On another note, what's first on the training regiment?"

Kazuki : "Well, I'd still like to at least learn how to use wood or steel jutsu so I'll poof up two teams to work that out. As for me, since the clones can't help improve my stats I'll be training vigorously until everything is at 100"

Clone 1 : "Can't you do that right now by using the points you saved up?"

Kazuki : "Yes but I prefer to use those on luck since it's the hardest stat to increase. Plus, if I get my hands on another [Black Lion Chest], I want luck to be the highest it can be"

So that's what I did for the next three weeks. While two groups of 10 clones each made from 5000 chakra worked on steel and wood jutsu, I worked on increasing dexterity and agility. 

Agility wasn't that hard, training simply consisted of me sprinting everywhere and working on my legs muscles. Now dexterity, that was much more difficult.

I had to go beyond Sunagakure's walls, out in the middle of a field of sand surrounded by 20 clones that threw shuriken at me relentlessly. I was also blinded folded.

I had to dodge everything, which wasn't easy at first and usually ended up with me having to stop in the middle of training to cover my wounds with bandages.

Eventually, I caught on how they throw and which clone aims where. Not only has my reaction time and movement coordination improved, but my ability to [Sense Danger] when I cut off my senses.

Sense Danger, Level - 8 (45.81%)
- By cutting off your sight and hearing, you are able to detect any hostile action within a certain range.
Range : 12ft/3.6m

When I unlocked this skill, I basically had ultra instincts in my arsenal and used it max out dexterity in a matter of days.

While it is a good skill to have, if my reaction speed isn't fast enough I can't dodge the attack. I had a clone use [Full Cowling 100%] to attack me and I barely manage to avoid a blow to the face, leaving only a deep scratch on my cheek.

By the end of week four and 5 days before the finals, both stats had reached 100, netting me 2 perks.

Graceful Maneuvers - Your movements are much more refined, allowing you to react much faster with little effort. Physical debuffs recover 25% faster.

Light Steps - Not only are your footsteps silent, you don't activate traps when stepped on or leave behind footprints while walking/running/sprinting.

I tested out the footprints part in the sand and it actually works. Though, I still have to use [Sand Walking] to avoid sinking. The debuff recovery is cool too, now when I use [Full Cowling 100%], instead of 1 minute I now have to wait 45 seconds.

Thankfully, this wasn't the only good news. One of the clones working on steel jutsu made a breakthrough and managed to alter the tips of his fingers. This moment was immediately relayed to the others and the clone dispelled itself, passing on the knowledge he obtained.

All clones, even the wood users, immediately got to work on what little information they had and finally produced our first [Steel Release] technique in a matter of hours...

Steel Release : Impervious Armor
Durability : +1500 | Cp Cost : 900/min
- Allows user to coat certain/entire body in jet black steel, reducing all damage dramatically. Weapons with lower durability will break if struck against armor.

I don't think I've even seen something with more than 500 durability. Though this is perfect for protecting my more vital areas, even if it does cost quite a bit.

That wasn't the end however, the clones continued developing steel jutsu and I was amazed at the amount produced.

Steel Release : Steel Projectile
Dam : 125 (200% Blunt Damage) | Cp Cost : 150 per projectile
- User creates a steel ball which can be launched at high speeds. Deals bonus damage to heavy armor and barriers.

Steel Release : Black Claws
Dam : 500 | Cp Cost : 225/min
- Transforms the user's hands into steel gauntlets with sharp and curved fingertips.

Steel Release : Hidden Arsenal
Cp Cost : X (depends on weapon) | Durability : 300
- Allows user to create weapons made of steel using chakra.
List of Creations:
Senbon (Cost : 30)
Shuriken (Cost : 56.25)
Kunai (Cost : 75)
Kodachi (Cost : 225)
Sword (Cost : 337.5)
Spear (Cost : 375)

Steel Release : Shield Dome
Cp Cost : 750 | Durability : 1875
- User creates a spherical barrier around their person to protect those within.

So glad I'm not the only one excited about developing jutsu. With that arsenal technique, now I don't have to buy so many kunai or shuriken. I should still support Genbo's business, he'd think I went somewhere else to buy my tools if I don't show up.

The day before the exam, I put my plan into action. I summoned a shadow clone with 95% of my chakra. I waited until I fully replenished my reserves and repeated the process 20 more times. I told them all to just chill around until my fights come up.

With everything ready, I grab my belongings and meet up with the team at the southern gate. The first to notice me is Yashamaru-sensei.

Yashamaru : "Good morning Kazuki, do you have everything you need with you?"

Kazuki : "Yes, I double checked"

Yashamaru : "Alright then, we'll be leaving as soon as our paperwork is cleared"

While Yashamaru made some final checks to our route, I look over at my teammates and notice they managed to increase their levels by at least 2. If I focused on leveling up, I'd probably have done the same.

Kazuki : "Yo you two, how's training been to you?"

Birque : "Oh Kazuki, my training was hell. Yashamaru was pretty strict the past four weeks and I barely got a wink of sleep last night because dad wanted to drill in some last minute lessons"

Kazuki : "*whistle* That sucks. *looks at Enkimu* How about you?"

Enkimu : "I've been training with my former puppet teacher for the last month. Susu-sensei really doesn't know how to hold back..."

Kazuki : "Been a while since I've seen him, how is Susu doing?"

Enkimu : "He's been good. He was a little surprised when I told him you're already taking the chūnin exams but said he's sure you'll become a chūnin in the end, he watched your graduation match against Baki so he knows what you're capable of"

Birque : "What about you? Learn anything new?"

Kazuki : "Oh yeah, jutsu development was not an easy task and ate up most of my time"

Yashamaru : "Alright everyone, we're clear to leave"

And with that we head off towards Konoha.

~3 Days Later~

After walking through the gates of the village, we witnessed citizens setting up booths and preparing for the foot traffic the event brings.

During the last exams, the roads were full of food stands and overcrowded with merchants from various lands. Despite this event being about showing off a nation's power, the extra boost in economy is quite the bonus.

Anyway, we were assigned to stay at the same hotel we did previously. Using the [Kurofūgan] to scan the various floors, it looks like they didn't plant any genjutsu seals. So after making one final inspection, I called it day and slept until the next morning.

By 10am, we were called to the stadium and placed before an audience consisting of civilians, shinobi and feudal lords. I scan the stands and find our own Wind Daimyo among the onlookers.

Kazuki : 'This is it. The big leagues. It's time to make a name for myself'

3rd POV

Before the final exams were set to start, a few important individuals are missing so the Hokage wishes to delay the event until they arrive.

Meanwhile, Kage of the participating shinobi came up to the Kage box above the center stands, overlooking the stage of where their ninja will show off their abilities.

The Third Hokage was in the middle of puffing his pipe when the Fourth Raikage and Kazekage approached their seats. The middle aged man stands to greet them with a bow.

Hiruzen : "Greetings, Fourth Raikage, Kazekage"

A : "And to you as well, Hokage"

Rasa : "It has be quite some time since we last reconvened"

Hiruzen : "Indeed, I'm sorry I couldn't personally greet you at our gates. Stacks of paperwork and what not"

They take their seats and look down at the participants. The sight of Kazuki among the 9, made the Raikage raise an eyebrow.

A : "Quite the young one you have down there, Kazekage. You must be running low on competent shinobi if you're sending a child to participate"

The Kazekage glares at A, but quickly calms down and stands up from his seat. He slowly approaches the railing and takes a good long look at the tanuki jinchūriki.

Rasa : "Underestimating that child is a deadly mistake. Despite his age, he's already taken the lives of over 100 shinobi"

The two Kage share a look of surprise before turning their attention to the bored looking child.

Kazuki POV

Looking down at my right palm, I've got 3 [Rasengan] on my index, ring and middle finger. [Water Dragon Bullet] on my thumb and [Dysengan] in my pinky.

As for the left, [Repulsion Wave] on the thumb, [Fireball] on my index and ring, another [Rasengan] on the middle finger and finally a [Great Fire Annihilation] in the pinky.

I see a couple of Uchiha up in the stands, no doubt trying to steal jutsu. Looks like I'll have to rely on kekkei genkai then.

Fireworks shooting up in the sky gave the signal that the exams were starting soon. Guess the last of the guests finally arrived. When the last firework went off, a cloud of smoke appears in the middle of the stage.

Neito, the proctor for all three exams stood before, getting the audience to cheer as the matches were about to begin. He faced us participants and started his introduction...

Neito : "Alright, it's time to begin the final round of the chūnin exams! My name is Neito and I'll be the referee of the matches. Now, before I explain the rules-*pulls out brackets*-take one final look at who you'll be fighting and when"

The man gives us a few seconds to read the match ups before putting the paper away.

Neito : "With that out of the way, let me explain the rules. First rule, there are no rules. You'll be participating in one on one matches, the only way to win is if you incapacitate your opponent, get them to forfeit or kill them. I'll say this right now, if I see that someone has no chance of winning I'll jump in and the end the match right there"

A couple of the genin gulp upon hearing that you're allowed to kill. Not me though, I've already taken a life and won't have any trouble holding back.

Neito : "Our first match will be Birque versus Genshin. The rest of you go to the waiting room"

As we all head for the doorway leading to the waiting room, I pat the genin on the shoulder and wish him luck. He grins at me.

Birque : "Don't worry about me, I'll see you in the finals"

Ho? Sounds like someone just jinxed himself.  I walk away and head up to the waiting area, where I lean against the railing and get a good view of the two shinobi.

Neito : "Alright, begin!"

The sand genin was the first to move, choosing to jump backwards and gain some distance to use his fan. He swings his weapon to the side and conjures up a strong gust of wind. The leaf ninja starts throwing signs and erects a wall of earth to block the gale attack.

Looks like he learned that over the past month, he had plenty of chances to use it out in the forest but my clones never witnessed it. Genshin jumps from behind his cover and throws more signs, ending it with a tiger he spews forth a giant ball of fire from his mouth.

Birque made the mistake of trying to blow it away, guess he never learned about elemental affinities. Adding the wind nature only made the burning ball stronger and engulfed the boy before exploding in a bright display.

Enkimu : "Birque!"

I could hear him screaming all the way up here, his blazing figure thrashing about as he throws in the towel. When I was allowed to intervene, I entered the stage and put the boy out with water.

Neito : "The winner of this match is Genshin!"

As the crowd cheers, I finally put out the fire. Birque's had third degree burns covering his body. Most of his outfit had been burned away along with his hair. Looks like someone's gonna be in the hospital for some time.

He was barely moving and I could hear him trying to say something to me. Little idiot, everyone knows fire beats wind....

Kazuki : "Don't talk, just rest"

A couple of medics come over with a stretcher and carry the boy over to the infirmary. When I walked back to the waiting area, I found Enkimu trying to start something with the leaf shinobi. 

Emotional girl, I thought they taught you in school to swallow your emotions! My [Iron Sand] extended outwards and created a barrier to stop her from doing something stupid. She turns to look at me with tears in her eyes and I shake my head.

Kazuki : "Worry more about your own match. It sucks what happened with Birque but don't let it interfere with your way of thinking. You'll lose or wind up dead"

Neito : "Jurota Katsuki and Enkimu, come into the ring"

The girl wipes her eyes and jumps out of the waiting room and into the fighting stage below. The other guy meanwhile takes his time entering the stage. Look out, we got a badass over here. 

Even from this far away, I can see the girl barely keeping her composure. Sigh....I know exactly how this is going to end.

Removing the rolled up puppet on her back, the Crow puppet clings to her body and rattles like crazy. Jurota narrows his eyes at the girl and unsheathes the two blades on his back.

Neito : "Begin!"

Once the signal was given, Katsuki charged forward. The Crow puppet cackles and flies at the leaf genin, drawing it's elbow blade to cut him down. Rather than counter the puppet, the boy slides underneath it and slices the chakra threads attached to it.

Damn, that ended a couple seconds faster than I predicted. Just as Enkimu's about to perform a jutsu, the boy already closed the distance and held up one of his blades straight to her neck. She raises her hands up and growls at her opponent.

Enkimu : "I.....I surrender"

Neito : "Winner Jurota Katsuki!"

The crowd cheers at the results and I watch as Enkimu hangs her head as she leaves the stage. No wonder Suna's so weak, the shinobi are jokes.

3rd POV

In the Kage box, Rasa is currently in a sour mood to see two of his shinobi lose so easily. While Hiruzen is respectful and not saying anything to further anger the Kazekage, A feels the need to gloat.

A : "Looks like you're down to one participant, and he'll be fighting against the strongest of the three. It'll be a clean sweep of the Suna team. *laughs*"

Rasa : "Don't be so sure. *A stops laughing* If your shinobi wins the third match, Kazuki will go against your entire team and wipe them all out"

Kazuki POV

Katsuki's way faster than I expected. If I hadn't improved my agility, I probably wouldn't have been able to see him move.

Neito : "Kosei and J, get your butts down here"

The two enter the stage and start off by throwing shuriken at each other. Their soon drawn into a sword battle which ends when J sees an opening in Kosei's defenses and slices his neck open.

The proctor ends the match then and there and quickly called over the medics to quickly close the bleeding wound. These matches are a lot darker than in the show.

Neito : "Since we have an odd number of participants, Toburaba will be fighting the winner of the next match. Kazuki Inei and Chee, you're up"

The moment I stepped into the ring, I could hear everyone talking about me.

"Whoa, someone that young is participating?"

"I'm surprised he hasn't cried to mommy yet, those were some pretty gruesome matches"

"Looks like Suna's getting knocked out of the exams again"

I took a deep breath and let my mind wander. When everyone finally shut up, my opponent stood a couple feet away from me with a smirk on her face.

3rd POV

Neito : "Begin!"

Pulling out a smoke bomb, Kazuki tosses it on the ground and covers the stage in a thick blinding cloud. The Kumo kunoichi clicks her tongue and pulls out a kunai, ready to defend herself.

Instead, she didn't expect both of her a Achilles tendons to get sliced, forcing her on her hands and knees. The jinchūriki then drops his invisibility and comes up behind the downed girl with a [Rasengan] at the ready.

The jutsu clears away the smoke, giving the audience the perfect view of a spiraling ball of chakra connecting with Chee's back, driving her body downwards.

The audience watches with wide eyes as the female continually gets buried deeper into the ground with each passing second. By the time the assault ended, a crater had formed underneath the participants and Chee was completely motionless.

The crowd is silent at the sight, even the other genin watching were speechless. One moment a smoke bomb is going off, next there is a crater in the middle of the stage with the genin expected to win on the ground.

Even Neito was stunned and took a couple of seconds to regain his composure before checking up on the girl. He presses two fingers on the girl's neck and detects a pulse.

Neito : "She's alive but in no condition to continue. Winner is Kazuki Inei!"

The once silent crowd erupts with excitement and clap at the child's quick takedown. Meanwhile, A has crushed his arm rest and is growling angrily while Rasa smirks.

While the two Kage did their own thing, Hiruzen had been watching Kazuki with narrowed eyes. The unique spherical shape, impact power and destruction made it all too obvious.

Hiruzen : 'Without a doubt, that was the [Rasengan]. To think there was someone so young who could replicate it. I never would've guessed it had fallen into the hands of a foreign shinobi'
