Capítulo 108: Chapter 108
"Sorry, I had to help an old lady cross the street, only to find out that she was a missing ninja and I was forced to fight her." Kakashi held out three papers before Sakura could yell again, "Anyway, these are for you three."
Naruto took one of the papers and raised an eyebrow, "You nominated us for the Chunin Exams?"
"Yep!" Kakashi nodded his head, "I figured you guys are ready for the challenge. Those of you who wish to take it should sign those papers and turn them in at room 301 at the academy tomorrow by 4:00 pm." Less than a second later Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke.
As Naruto looked at the approval sheet for the Chunin Exams he could not keep the grin from forming on his face, "This is gonna be awesome!"
Sasuke smirked, "For once I agree with you dobe."
"Heh," Naruto returned the smirk, "looks like this will be a good chance to show everyone just how good I've gotten. I've been looking to kick some ass."
"Hn."
Sakura looked between the two before looking at her own sheet in worry. She wasn't as sure as her two teammates about entering these exams.
"Ten~ten!" Naruto shouted in a sing song voice as he opened the door to the Higarashi weapons shop.
Tenten looked up from the magazine she had been reading and grinned, ""Hey Naruto! You look excited."
Naruto gave her his foxy grin, patent pending, as he walked up to her, "I think I've got a reason to be today."
"Oh? Care to fill me in?" Tenten raised an eyebrow at her friend. She was glad to see that he was close to acting like his old self. It had taken a lot of work to get him to be as open back up and return to his cheerful attitude around her after he had gone on his C-rank mission. She had literally spent four days using him as target practice in order for him to make up for ignoring her like he had. Even then, Naruto still refused to tell her what happened on the mission, often redirecting the conversation to something else whenever it came up.
"Maybe later," Naruto replied as he leaned on the counter, "so is it ready?"
"Of course," Tenten grinned as she stood up; knowing what he was talking about, "Follow me."
The two walked into the back of the store where the forge was located. Moving the ladder Tenten climbed up it and grabbed a box. Grinning like a maniac she showed it to Naruto, "I have a feeling you'll like this."
Naruto opened the box and peered inside. Sitting on soft padding was a dark black gauntlet. It was basically a glove attached to a forearm bracer. The top of the glove had a protector that looked similar to the standard metal guards on most fingerless gloves with the Leaf insignia. However there were three vertical slits on the front and it was about two inches thicker than a standard guard. Under the wrist was another, smaller padding that had several small holes on either side of a large slit that went horizontally.
"Put it on and give it a go," Tenten suggested.
Nodding Naruto took the gauntlet and put it on, strapping it together and tightening the bands so it fit snugly on his hand and wrist. He channeled some chakra into the top of the bracer and grinned as three wicked looking claws flickered into existence out of the top over the fingers in between his thumb and pinky, extending four inches past his hand.
"Now this is what I'm talking about," he looked over at Tenten, "I assume the bottom is a kunai and senbon launcher?"
Tenten nodded, "Yep! Though the kunai you have to use are special. I didn't want the gauntlet to get too bulky and what not, so I created a kunai that's a lot thinner than the standard kind."
"I bet you just made them so I have to come here to visit every time I need to replenish my stock," Naruto said. He gave the bun haired weapon user a grin, "miss me that much?"
Tenten scoffed and gave him a playful punch on the shoulder, "Don't be so full of yourself, no one could miss your ugly mug." She giggled as Naruto gave her a pout, "Besides, this is the only place you'd want to shop anyways." her light tone stopped as she gave him a dangerous glare, "Right?"
"Uh…sure Tenten. Of course," Naruto replied, sweating a bit from the now oppressive look he was getting.
"Good!" Tenten brightened up and smiled at him and the aura of dread vanished. "Now, the launcher also uses that containment seal you made for it, since it was the only one that worked. You just channel chakra into the bottom and take aim! Though, you're going to have to go to a training field to test it."
Naruto sweatdropped at the completely random shift of emotions that all women seemed prone to do. Still he was too excited to worry about his friend's odd mood swings.
Y had a new weapon to test and an exam to prepare for...
