She trained him in sealing kenjutsu and showed him his father's greatest jutsu's. Even the flying thunder god technique but Naruto couldn't use it in battle yet for his chakra control wasn't there yet but he could teleport from point a to b.

Ino trained with Tsunade and learn medical ninjutsu and with her father on the family's mind jutsu. She wasn't competing in the finals but she didn't want to fall to far behind her two teammates who where.

Shikamaru did make the finals. Much too his dislike. The finals were set rd 1 Naruto vs Neji / Gaara vs Rock Lee \ Tenten vs Temari \ Shikamaru vs Shino.

Everyone looked up at the Third Hokage as he sat in the Kage both sitting next to him saw the 4th Kazakage. Both said the pleasantries to one in other. Orochimaru was masquerading as the 4th Kazakage not knowing the Third Hokage was really Itachi Uchiha. Itachi used a very high level of genjutsu.

The third spoke (Itachi) "Today eight men and women will fight to prove to they are worthy of the title chunin. So let the matches begin".

Yūgao called the first match will Naruto Namikaze and Neji Hyuga please come down to the arena floor. Everyone freak out when they heard the name Namikaze. As most of the the crowd realized how they failed the 4th Hokage.

Neji quietly walked down to the area floor dead focused on what he was about to do. Everyone looked around for Naruto he was nowhere to be scene.

Then a big explosion happened in the middle of the area. Everyone was blinded in yellow light. When everyone's site came back. Naruto was standing in the middle of the area.

Naruto was black ninja sandals. Black anbu black ops pants and black tee shirt. He had his father's cloak on with his mother sword on his back.

"You must pay for what you have done Naruto. Lady Hinata is die and it's your fault. I must kill you now so lady Hinata can have justice." Neji said

"Neji ,Hinata made her own choice. I'm still sad she gone too but revenge won't make you feel any better." Naruto said.

"Words will not save you now" Neji yelled as he got into position to strike.

Yūgao called for the match to start. Neji ran at Naruto trying to strike him. Naruto played defense kelp moving dodging him. This continued for a while.

Naruto flicked further away and threw kunai at Neji. "ROTATION" Neji yelled. The kunai bounced away.

"Neji please don't do this revenge won't bring her back. All your doing is hurting other people. Please you were my friend one of the other people that was nice to me growing up i don't want to do this."

"You call me your friend but you have shamed my family I'm an outcast because of you. It was bad enough just being a branch family member. But because of you I failed the main house.

You see the main house brands us branch family and in forced into slavery for the main house and since the day I turned four years old I lived with that curse. But loved my cousin so I did my job to protect the main house and it future leader. Now because of you I failed and main house bin bring the curse down on me I haven't slept in a month i've been beaten and tortured because of you. "

Neji took off his head protector to show everyone if curse mark. " You have no idea what it's like to live with a curse mark to be branded a slave for live "Neji screamed.

"Neji I know more than you think about a curse mark. Being marked for life" Naruto rips his shirt off and started to channel chakra. Everyone was shocked when they saw the 9 tails seal on Naruto.

"This was given to me the day I was born by my father. My father the 4th Hokage seal a demon in his own son. Because of this seal for the first 12 years of my life I was beaten poisoned almost raped. I had no one so I tried to kill myself many times but the dam fox won't let me die. I was targeted by mobs of people from our village. But until I was on my genin squad I had no who loved me. I had your cousin but she could be my friend in front of her father. So everyday i wish for it to all.

That was till I was on team ten when I really got to know. Asuma sensei and Shikamaru. Until i was given someone to love in Ino. So I'm really sorry things played out with Hinata. But at the end of the day we all choose our destiny. You can to Neji the hell with your clan. My mother can remove that seal from you " Naruto said

Neji look shock at what he just heard then a giant boom. Then a blinding light hit everyone.
