40 Chunin Exams Part 2

Lee was stuck hanging in mid-air, the pressure Kibo put on his foot didn't cause any pain, and because of his training maintaining, this awkward state was nothing for him to stay in this pose.

He was puzzled as to how Kibo knew about him being able to open his gates, but even more so astonished on how he knew about the S-Rank Technique.

Guy and Lee had to suffer alongside each other to master and transform their bodies. Kibo wasn't wrong about it being expensive either.

When Lee learned about how much it cost his beloved Sensei, he became a mission completing machine to pay him back.

As if he could read his mind Kibo then said "No need to be so surprised. After all, I am the one who brought that technique to this village."

Lee twisted his body and tried to shake off Kibo's grasp, but before he could make any headway, the 2nd coming of Konoha's green beast felt the world start to spin.

Kibo held him with one arm and flung him around like a pair of Nunchaku.

Every few seconds, Kobo's fingers glowed with a piercing light as they tapped several meridians along Lee's Chakra network while causing small spurts of blood to be flung across the room.

Then, with a single toss of his hand, Kibo sent Lee flying across the room.

Before Lee hit the ground, a puff of smoke appeared as he was caught by his teacher.

"Sensei!" Lee shouted with tears in his eyes.

Guy, who hadn't seen Kibo in a long time didn't recognize him as he dropped Lee to his feet. Guy then looked to Kibo with a solemn stare and asked, "Your Kakashi's and Yamato's students aren't you? Why were you so rough with my student, it's clear you were stronger than him."

Saying Guy looked pissed off would be an understatement.

"Been awhile Guy, don't tell me you don't recognize me? And what do you mean by saying I rough with your student? You don't like my gift?" Kibo questioned with a sly look on his face.

Lee suddenly fell forward and started coughing up a large amount of blackened blood. Guy, frightened by what was happening to his student, approached Lee to help.

However, before he could even touch Lee, the Genin stood straight up and said, "Wow!"

Guy looked puzzled as he repeated his student's words in a confused tone, "Wow?"

Lee stretched out and placed his hand together to make a hand sign.

Guy looked even more confused because he knew his student was incapable of using such things as Nin-Jutsu, and Gen-Jutsu.

However, the following scene left Guy shocked and amazed.

A puff of smoke appeared around Lee when he shouted, "Transformation Jutsu!"

"Transformation Jutsu?!!!" Guy yelled in surprise.

Lee had transformed himself into his beloved Sensei and looked back at Guy with tears in his eyes before he said, "Master! I can use Jutsus now!"

Guy looked back to Kibo as he saw him smiling from ear to ear.

All this was possible because of Kibo's new Profession.

He had chosen Medic as his 2nd Relic-Gained profession.

When he crushed the relic, Kibo imagined a technique to clear any sickness and heal any wound without the use of medicine.

That's when he received the Heavenly Acupoint & Chakra Palm manual. It was both a job and a new Jutsu.

It had amazing capabilities that rivaled Tsunade's methods, it also provided him with an in-depth knowledge of several known diseases and illnesses that come from this world. As well as several magical techniques that involved stimulating these acupoints with a quick burst of Chakra from the Heaven's Palm Jutsu.

This unique type of Chakra is what he named Holy-Attribute. It flows like clear liquid medicine and uses a large amount of the users' Chakra in order to turn it into this particular type of healing-based energy, but the effects are far greater than the Mystic Palm Jutsu that Tsunade invented.

He even got a cool set of golden needles that could reduce the Chakra consumption of the Heaven Palm Technique by 30%.

However, Kibo wasn't about to ask Lee to remove his clothing and chose to do things the hard way.

Lee was born with clogged meridians, and because they had no way to perform healing on such a small scale, they couldn't so much as recognize the birth defect, much less remove the blockage.

But now that Kibo cleared the blockages, Lee was free to use Jutsus other than just Tai-Jutsu.

Kibo then pulled out a bladed razor and scissors before he said, "I win!"

Guy looked confused as Kibo vanished from their sights. Using his Wind Lord's Step and a few blindingly fast movements, Kibo returned to his original position.

Guy then slowly watched in horror as the hair fell from Lee's head and eyebrows.

Kibo had given him Bruce Lee's hairstyle and trimmed his eyebrows down to the size of a normal human being.

Everyone but Lee and Guy was shocked at how much better he looked without them.

"Wow, he looks a lot better without the bushy brows!" Naruto commented as the rest of their party nodded their heads in agreement,

"Why would he hide such a nice face?" Karin thought.

"He clearly loves his Sensei and imitating his image," Hinata explained.

"Man...you really do look just like him," Kibo said as Guy and Lee were embracing and crying over the loss of his brows and hairdo.

"Who?" Lee asked feeling a mix of sadness and happiness, Sad that his looks changed. but happy to receive positive feedback.

"One of the greatest martial artists of a generation, Bruce Lee. I wouldn't be surprised if your clan shared common blood."

Kibo actually thought that Rock Lee may be the parallel version of Bruce, so the idea that they may share common DNA as well; wasn't too farfetched. It was a silly thought, but the resemblance was just too uncanny for the notion not to have some ground.

"Bruce Lee?" Guy scratched his head.

"We have a Lee Clan, but we've never heard of a famous Bruce Lee coming from them," Guy declared with his arms crossed and his head in a slumped posture.

Kibo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well then, I guess it's a coincidence."

"Was he that strong?" Lee and Guy questioned at the same time.

Kibo walked away and tilted his head back before saying, "If you didn't use Chakra and solely relied on Martial Arts, then only a handful of people in the world might have been able to beat that guy."

"Come on guy's back to the exam," Sasuke said as he grabbed Sakura's hand and headed up the stairs.

Team seven nodded their heads and followed after.

As they headed towards the next testing room, Naruto walked up next to Kibo and asked, "Why were you so instant on cutting his hair?"

Kibo laughed before he replied, "I felt nostalgic and wanted to see a familiar face. I wasn't joking about the fact that he's the spitting image of a powerful martial artist that lived a long time ago."

"Really?" Naruto questioned with bright eyes.

"Hahh, if only I could show him the Way of the Dragon," Kibo thought as he nodded his head.

"Are you going to answer him?" Karin asked.

"Nope!" Kibo said with a smile on his face before he picked up the pace.

"That's not fair, bro!" Naruto shouted before rushing after.

They continued to walk down the hall when they spotted their two Senseis, "Team 7 congrats for making it to the exam together."

"Kakashi Sensei, Yamato Sensei? What are you doing here?" Naruto asked with a look of surprise.

"We came to congratulate you on making this far as a team, we just wanted to let you know how proud we are that you all decided to come together," Yamato said as he ruffled up Naruto's hair.

"What would have happened if we all hadn't come together?" Sakura asked with an expression of curiosity.

Kakashi smiled and before saying, "I would have kicked you all out of the exam myself, but you didn't. You all chose to act and decide together as a team. I couldn't be more proud of you guys, now go in there and crush that exam."

Yamato nodded his head in agreement and said, "Good luck. You'll need it."

As the group entered the classroom, they saw it jam-packed with Ninjas from other villages and a handful of their own.

"So many Shinobi! Are they all here to apply?" Sakura asked as a certain blond-haired Ino jumped onto Sasuke's back while calling out his name.

Sakura almost blew a fuse before she shouted, "Get off of him! Ino Pig! Sasuke's dating me!"

Ino appeared shocked by the news as Sasuke lifted her hand off of his shoulder and moved next to Sakura before holding her hand.

"It's a lie there's no way Sasuke would choose a billboard brow like you!" Ino shouted as the two began to cat-fight.

"Looks like the whole classroom is here. Could you stop embarrassing our village now?" Shikamaru's voice called out as they walked up with the rest of team 8; Choji, Kiba, Shino, and Sai.

Sai looked particularly annoyed at Sasuke as he said, "I don't see what's so good about this guy."

Kibo laughed because he had never seen Sai with a look of jealousy on his face. It appeared this timeline allowed him to live a fairly normal life and develop his personality much sooner.

Kiba then stepped up and bumped fist with Shikamaru, Shino, and Choji before saying, "Well not everyone is here. Itachi and Shisui's team hasn't shown up yet."

"Nii Chan's most recent team mission experienced some issues. They got caught up in a storm on the way back to Konoha and their boat had to turn around. The letter Itachi sent me said that he couldn't make it back in time, so they have to wait till next year to register," Sasuke explained with a sigh at the end.

Suddenly, Lee walked into the room, prepared to suffer the humiliation of having his eyebrows shaved and his hair cut.

Tenten's expression was one of shock as she noticed how completely different Lee looked. She even blushed a little before she asked, "What happened to you?"

Lee's shoulders drooped over further as he turned to Neji and said, "Well?"

Neji looked at him for a while, tilted his head, and said, "Who are you?"

Kibo started laughing when Tenten slapped the back of Neji's head and said, "It's Lee! You dummy!"

Neji looked back at Lee in shock and said, "You should keep this style. It looks way better than Guy Sensei's appearance."

"Now if we could only do something about the clothes he wears," Tulala said as she looked at her fellow teammate.

Lee felt like he had been hit by a bag of bricks. He was just now starting to realize that Guy's sense of fashion was a little off.

The group was catching up on old times when a voice called out, "Would you do us all a favor and shut up."

The guy who spoke up had onyx colored eyes and ash grey hair, which he kept in a small ponytail. He wore black-rimmed circular glasses, a dark purple shirt with a high collar white undershirt, and dark purple pants with a loose white cloth waistband that covered up half of his torso.

"You all must be the rookie Genins from the same class. I get your happy to see each other, but can you chill the hell out. This isn't exactly a field trip."

"Who the hell are you?" Ino shouted as she let go of Sakura's hair.

"Yeah! Why don't you but out?!" Sakura followed up as she stopped biting Ino's arm.

"Name's Kabuto Punks! And you need to open your eyes," Kabuto said as he pointed to the rest of the people behind him.

When they saw that everyone in the classroom all had very ticked off expressions and was glaring in their direction, the group cooled down a bit.

"Watch out for the people behind you, they're from the Village Hidden in the Rain. They have very short fuses, and everyone taking the exams are on edge. I just wanted to give you guy's a heads up before someone loses it, and beats the crap out of you," Kabuto declared as he pushed his glasses back onto the bridge of his nose.

"But I suppose your reactions are just like every other first-timer, it's not your fault." Kabuto continued as he pulled out a pouch that was hiding under his waistband, "I remember my first attempt was similar too."

"Does that mean this is your second try?" Sakura asked.

Kabuto shook his head and said, "Not 2nd, but this is my 7th! I've failed the Chunin Exams 6 times before this, and have tons of experience dealing with this stuff."

"Alright, Kabuto you da man!" Naruto said with a grin on his face.

Kabuto responded after he pulled a stack of Cards out from the pouch he was rummaging through,

"Cute! Well, since we come from the same village and all, the least I can do for you kiddies is give you some intelligence on what's in store for you,"

"Oh, and how are you going to help us?" Sasuke asked with doubt in his voice.

"With these. . ." Kabuto spread the hand-sized cards that had the word Shinobi written on the back of them.

"You're going to help us with cards?" Karin questioned.

"It does seem a little silly," Hinata followed up.

"Not just any cards! These are my Ninja Information Cards," Kabuto explained.

"Shinobi Skill Cards?" Sakura seemed to know what they are, Kabuto explained that he had stored up 4 years of information on these over 200 of these cards.

"By carving my Chakra into them; I imprint what I want onto their surface," Kabuto pulled one out and laid it on the ground before saying, "They look blank don't they, but the moment it receives my Chakra. . . "

Suddenly, a burst of light flew out from the surface of the card and a 3-d map slowly rose up. It was a map of the land, showing all the villages that were participating in the exam.

"Hey!" Naruto spoke out and asked, "Do you have information on a guy named Gaara? He comes from Sunagakure."

"You know their name? Hah, this will be easy then." With a swipe of his hand, the card changed forms revealing a picture of Gaara and his known stats and completed missions.

"Hmm, I don't have much because he's way out in the desert, but let's see what we got here. F:? D:? C:8 Whoa he completed a B-Rank Mission! Not every Genin gets assigned to those. For this guy, A rank. S ranks are impossible to find out about, but the one thing in common is that he's never received a single wound on any mission. Scary, better stay away from that one."

Naruto frowned and thought out loud, "Is that all?"

Kabuto cracked his knuckles, then put his cards away before he stood up and said, "Villages from all around have sent their best Genin this year. I don't know about the Sound Nin as there rather new, but every other village is well respected with lots of famous Shinobi hailing from there."

"So what you're trying to tell me is that we're out-classed?" Sakura said with a notably angry tone and lifting a single brow.

"I don't think that's what he's saying," Hinata said putting her hand on Sakura's arm to calm her down.

"I'm just saying that you're not the only elites here, so would you cool it down a little," Kabuto responded while waving his hand in front of his face.
