Chapter 30 - preparation for the exams

The best way I knew how to max out my speed was running of course I wasn't as crazy as maito-gai and Lee to build up my speed by running laps around the village three hundred times but I knew of a decent way to amp up my speed make some cash and increase that cash and my luck at the same time.

I took a job at the rickshaw company owned by kisumi's grandfather I had gotten close to her family after she joined the team so close the grandpa allowed me to call him Pops.

" Hey pops can I work here for a few days I want to use it as training." I said.

" Hmm I see speed and endurance training the old fashioned way that's a good boy okay I'll give you a shot." He said and within half an hour four clients reached their destination with fmten minutes to spare and I had gotten myself a weekly job.

As I ran people a across the village my status of soeed and endurance went up every day.

{ Monday speed 1,500 endurance 1,700.}

{ Tuesday speed 3,000 endurance 3,400}

{ Wednesday speed 6,000 endurance 6800.}

{Thursday speed 12,000 endurance 13,600}

{ Friday speed 20,000 endurance 27,200}

As for my luck i built it up on gambling but not casinos or racing no I gambled at fight clubs specificly I bet on the one person I knew could help me win my latest summon The demon called tien-shenhan no not the dragon ball character the god he was based on and named after Although he did fight using similar techniques and used white crane fist.

Tien-shenhan was in fact a demon I got a contract with after I accessed the awakened Rokugan' which is what my six eyes combined with sage chakra was called although thanks to my six eyes ability to adapt to energy o could use them at any given time the only downside was that I had to wear a protective eye covering when I did so.

Anyways as I gambled and won my bets my luck went up.

{ Monday 2,400}

{ Tuesday 4,800}

{ Wednesday 9,600}

{ Thursday 19,200}

{ Friday 38,400}

As you can see I'm extremely lucky and have been since day 1 of me first being here.

And that luck is probably what got Naruto saved from a life of pain prejudice and poverty.

After a week I have a third of my earnings to pops which was about the same amount as my current over all luck.

I had at least 76,800 Ryo left and decided to put it in my savings account.

" Can't let kaa-san use this for sake." I said to myself.

After that I went home and took a nice long shower tomorrow would be the day I made chunin and would also be the day that I would best remember as the day I would earn the title the red devil of the hidden leaf.

At the arena located in the upper half of the village I found myself sitting in the waiting room for contestants my team mates kisumi and Hanna were both getting prepared in other rooms while I sat with kakashi.

" You've learned a lot over this month I can tell by your chakra signature it's increased massively." Said kakashi.

' maybe if I told him I had been learning how to harness sage chakra and had successfully awakened the second stage of my Rokugan then he would be impressed.' I thought to myself.

" Okay well good luck hidzumé has been doing some extra heavy training she seems to want to surpass your Rokugan but from what I can tell by the pitch black glasses your wearing." Said kakashi.

I nodded.

" I've developed a few techniques and gained a few power ups." I said with a knowing smile.

" Oh really like what." Said kakashi.

" Oh kakashi sensei you should know that information is the heart and lifeline of any Shinobi and you don't give away such information especially when we're being watched by a pervert whose been crushing on my fiancee." I said.

" Talon get your ass to your room." Said kakashi.

" Or I'm going to have to tell Gai your doing something unyouthful." Said kakashi in a voice to gentle to be kind.

Talon escaped with his life even though he didn't get any information for hidzumé who threatened to hurt him if he didn't do as she asked.

Kakashi looked at me and said.

" I won't force you to reveal anything but I would like to know what my students capable of before he has to move onto a different instructor." Said kakashi.

I knew that it wouldn't be that simple even though I would become chunin I would still have three years to be with kakashi's team until the Newly appointed instructor came.

I focused on getting as much time as I could training with kakashi before I decided to go on a training journey for three years.

" Kakashi sensei if I become chunin I'm allowed to leave the village for training purposes for long periods of time right?" I asked.

" That is correct if the hokage allows it and knowing her you best be prepared to either get an earful of laughter for either a how much you've natured or b how idiotic the thought of you leaving is." Said kakashi.

I nodded in agreement.

" Okay tiger you e got one hour to enjoy the festivities then it's battle time." Said Kakashi.

I took Naruto Mei Hinata and her little sister hinabi for a day out at the festival.

People looked at us with either respect or spite or both.

Whenever Naruto went to ask a man for a fix anbu mask he made the Mistake of getting angry at the boy and found himself being hit by the hot steam of mei's boil release and the intensity of the glare my awakened Rokugan gave him an apology and Naruto got his mask the other stalls decided it be best to bare with it and be nice to the boy and gave us what we asked for without any confrontation or else they would get my Pattented you're screwed-no-jutsu.

Naruto and Hinata were eating ice cream while hinabi was playing with a special ball I got her that would bounce really high if it was thrown to the ground and Mei and I were sharing a bag of peanut brittle.

" This is amazing we don't ever have anything like this in Kiri." Said Mei.

' I must make this recipe mine then I can have fun like this with hayabu-san shannaro." Said mei's inner self.

( Just think of it as something that only special kunoichi have ;)

The five of us were relaxing when hiruzen came over to us with his grandson konohamaru.

" Go on." He said to konohamaru gently.

" Um hinabi chan can we play." Asked konohamaru.

" Sure konohamaru Kun." Said hinabi and the two began playing catch with the ball.

( If your wondering how old they are since Hayabusa is thirteen and Naruto is three years younger that makes Naruto ten and that makes the two of them at least six.)

I noticed that Hinata would lay her head on Narutos shoulder and smile at the boy while Naruto would smile back and gently stroke her head.

I turned to Mei and she turned to me.

'"puppy love." We both mouthed in silence.

After about an hour it was time for us to head to the arena.

Hinata Naruto hinabi and konohamaru were invited to the VIP box where hiruzen tsunade and Mei were all going to watch while jiraiya and kakashi both watched from the rafters since they expected at any moment an enemy would attack.
