Kakashi was excited
Kakashi was excited. Today was the day of Naruto’s test. If he could prove himself in front of Kakashi and some others he would be allowed to skip Chunnin and just become a Jounin. He would finally be able to see how much his student had grown since the event a year ago with Sasuke. Or if he had instead gone backwards.
That would be bad.
But he doubted it could happen with Naruto.
He sat down at his seat in the stand, next to Iruka’s. Iruka looked nervous.
“You don’t think he’ll do bad do you?” Iruka asked him.
“Naruto? No way. He’ll do fine. Even Danzo and Hiashi are gonna have to admit how good he is after this.”
“Yeah, you’re right. This is Naruto.”
The two quieted as the Hokage and Kazekage took their seats behind everyone and Naruto’s challenger entered the stadium. Aburame Shino. They had chosen Shino because he knew Naruto, he specialized in long-distance fighting where Naruto was close-distance and his bugs were a great defense (actually I pulled him out of a hat).
Naruto entered also with, to everyone except Gaara’s surprise, a sword at his hip. He was wearing black full-length pants (think Gaara’s), a tight black tank top and his orange jacket half open. He also wasn’t wearing his forehead protector anywhere.
Kakashi sat up at this. If Naruto was doing this in hope of becoming a Jounin, shouldn’t he be wearing his headband? Unless...no, Naruto may be angry but he wouldn’t...would he?
“As some of you may have noticed,” the Hokage spoke up, “Uzumaki Naruto is not wearing a forehead protector. This is because we are currently in the middle of paperwork for a transfer. When it goes through, Uzumaki will officially be a ninja of the Hidden Sand village.”
He would it seems.
Next to him, Iruka looked down. He wasn’t surprised. Kakashi thought that if it wasn’t for the other ninja around him, Iruka would be crying over the loss of his once son. Just as he had cried when he found out about ‘the incident’ and Naruto leaving to Sand afterwards.
The fight was incredible. Naruto was faster then ever before. He actually managed to dodge most of Shino’s bug attacks. His defense was great and he pulled a lot of shuriken and senbon out of the inside of his jacket and hidden pockets. As he watched he noticed Naruto had incorporated some of the Hyuuga style into his fighting, though aiming for bodily pressure points rather than chakra ones. One attack...Shino was lucky it was a shadow clone rather than him; it was a direct hit to the heart and could have killed him easily.
When Naruto drew his sword when he was a good 15m away from Shino Kakashi was tempted to call him an idiot for making his intention so obvious. Instead he copied Sasuke by drawing his wind chakra into the sword and performing a perfect Rasen-shuriken without the risk of bodily harm. Then he threw like a real shuriken...and killed a good amount of Shino’s bugs as he tried to escape.
But during this Naruto had crouched, hiding his hands. When Shino finally escaped the large Rasen-shuriken he then had multiple little ones being fired at him from Naruto’s fingertips. He wasn’t so lucky to avoid all of those and lost the use of his left arm in the attempt.
Another new trick was Naruto raising his right hand and bringing it stabbing it in to the ground. It didn’t do much, at first. Until Shino was suddenly blown away when a hurricane blew out of the ground. Shino was forced to forfeit after that. He couldn’t withstand another of Naruto’s wind attacks. And Naruto didn’t seem to be tiring at all, nor did he seem like he would need to draw on the fox’s chakra anytime soon, which would mean his disqualification. Instead, no one doubted Naruto was more then ready to become a Jounin, even for the Sand village.
Which he did easily a week later.
