In the middle of the arena, clashes of Kunai, Shuriken, and taijutsu can be seen and heard, accompanied by the cheers of the excited crowd from the stands.
"Beat him up, Nee-san(big sister)" A young boy shouted enthusiastically from the stands. Atsui, Samui's younger brother, is very excited to cheer for his older sister.
"Beat her ass, Naruto." Anko cheered with the same enthusiasm.
In the Kage booth;
Silence covered the booth like a blanket as the occupants watched the fight heat up in the middle of the arena.
The silence was broken with the sound of a weird rhythmic hum filling the booth.
All the booth occupants turned around to look at the source, only to find Bee busy humming while writing something in his small notebook.
"What are you doing, Bee?" A asked in an angry tone.
"~I am writing tones that would make the beautiful ladies swoon, yeah.~" Bee replied
"Your student is fighting in the finals, and you are busy with your weird hobby?" A asked with a seething tone
"Focus on the match, or I will smash your face into the wall." A said angrily
"~ok, ok big brotha. Geez.~" Bee said as he quickly hid his notebook. A's punches are no joke, even to a perfect Jinchuriki like him.
'He is one weird fellow.' Tsunade thought to herself as she and the others focused back on the fight below.
'Come to think of it, we all have different hobbies. Sensei likes smoking, I used to drink and gamble, and there is Jiraiya..... let's not think about his hobbies.' Tsunade thought to herself with a blank face.
Looking at her son below, as he traded blows with the Kumo genin, she continued her line of thought: 'I just hope that whatever hobbies Naru picks up, they aren't weird or, Kami forbid, like Jiraiya's'
'My boy has a great interest in learning and developing jutsu. I hope he stays safe in his pursuit.' Tsunade thought worriedly to herself. She fears the day when Naruto starts developing his own S-rank Jutsu. Developing any S-rank jutsu is very risky and dangerous.
'He did pick up cooking as a hobby recently, and I have to admit he cooks better than me.' Tsunade thought with some embarrassment.
Tsunade didn't know the first thing about cooking before getting pregnant with her son. After Naruto was born, she took it upon herself to learn how to cook so she could feed her little boy well. While her food was healthy and packed with nutrients, it wasn't the tastiest, but at least she put in the effort.
Naruto's visit to Ichiraku Ramen and, later on, the restaurants in Kumo made him quite interested in cooking.
Tsunade's line of thought was broken when she saw the Kumo genin disengage from Naruto and create distance between them.
In the middle of the Arena, fighting grounds;
From a distance, Samui tried not to wince in pain as she looked at Naruto, who stood still, looking at her. They had clashed with Kunai and Taijutsu, and Samui found out that she was at a disadvantage. Not only is Naruto fast, but he hits very hard. She also couldn't land a hit on him while he had landed several hits on her.
"Not cool." Samui muttered to herself as she reached for the sword handle on her back and pulled it out.
"A Tanto, huh. Kenjutsu duel it is." Naruto muttered as he reached for his belt and pulled a storage scroll. Samui's sword handle may indicate it to be a Katana, but when she unsheathed the blade, it was straight and much shorter than a Katana.
Naruto opened the storage seal and pushed chakra into it, and out of it came a sheathed Katana. He unsheathed the Katana before putting the sheath back in the storage seal.
(A/N: The Katana isn't the Yamato that his mother got him on his 6th birthday, it is still a chakra metal Katana, but with a way lesser quality and a whole lot cheaper.)
With their blades unsheathed, they dashed at each other again. This time, their blades were the ones throwing the sparks as they met each other.
The cheers from the crowd intensified as the Kenjutsu duel heated up between the two genin.
"Cool Kenjutsu." Samui said to Naruto as they clashed
"Yours too." Naruto replied with a small smile amidst the sound of clanging metal.
Although Samui gave Naruto a small compliment, she did that to hide her bubbling frustration. Even with Kenjutsu, she can't land any hits on Naruto or find any openings. Her opponent's Kenjutsu skills are praiseworthy. No wasted or rigid movements. The way he blocks her strikes is fascinating. He doesn't block her hits by putting his body strength behind the blade; instead, he deflects them by using her own momentum against her, making her vulnerable to strikes.
What infuriates her is that he doesn't take those chances to hit her, as if he is teaching or playing with her. He isn't taking this seriously which is starting to piss her off.
She gave herself a bit of distance from Naruto before starting to pour chakra into her Tanto.
'I didn't want to use this this early in the finals, but I have no other choice now. He exceeds me in speed, power, and reflexes. I need to do something to have a chance of winning.' She thought to herself as her tanto was now fully covered with a yellow glow with small arcs coming out of it.
With her trump card ready, she dashed back towards Naruto.
The Kage booth;
"A genin who knows how to coat her weapons with chakra and use lightning at that. She is definitely chunin material." Hiruzen said with a slightly praising tone.
"Considering who her Sensei is, it is not surprising." A said with an even tone, but he is quite satisfied with what he is seeing.
"~Oh yeah, boyo now in trouble~" Bee said while looking at the fight below.
to be continued.
Guys and Gals, show me those powerstones.

I hope you all enjoyed the chapter.
(A/N: From now on, I will post four chapters a week, each at least 1000 words, Instead of the usual two so that updates would be more frequent and at the same time that workload wouldn't be too much on me. Think of it as the usual, two, 2000 words or more, chapters, being split into 4 smaller chapters. If you have any questions or you don't agree please comment bellow.)
'100 power stones if you want an additional chapter with next week's release.'
I would appreciate feedback, comments, and power stones from you guys. I would like to read all of your comments, I would like to know if I am doing well and if you enjoy what I write.
Thank you all for your support.
