Chapter 1: The Unforeseen Power
In the second stage of the Chunin Exams, a large Battle Royale was set to take place, with various teams vying for Heaven Scrolls. Team 7, led by Sasuke, was making good progress, defeating two teams and securing extra Earth Scrolls, giving them three in total. However, everything changed when Naruto, returning from a short break, was suddenly blown away by a powerful gust of wind. The nightmare of a Sound ninja appeared, attacking Sasuke and Sakura with sadistic pleasure.
Naruto, utilizing his ingenuity and Shadow clones, managed to defeat a massive snake that threatened to consume him. Rejoining his teammates, the battle intensified, with Naruto now fueled by the Nine Tails' chakra. He darted around, striking with incredible speed and force. Massive gusts of wind erupted from the clashes between the two formidable opponents.
Meanwhile, Sakura struggled under the weight of the Sound ninja's chakra, feeling an evil presence emanating from Naruto. Sasuke observed silently, unable to force his body into action. Orochimaru, the Hidden Snake ninja, decided to cut the battle short and seal off the Biju to deal with Naruto. He sensed that time was running out, suspecting that the ANBU or the Hokage were on their way due to the surge of chakra.
Buruto tried to dodge, but his body wouldn't respond in time. The Sound ninja was just too fast for him. The attack landed, and Naruto was sent reeling from the impact. It was only Sakura's quick thinking that saved him from falling hundreds of feet, using a kunai to snag his jacket on a tree. The last thing Naruto heard before succumbing to darkness was Sakura's call for Sasuke. Typical, he thought, on the brink of losing consciousness.
The sudden cutoff of the Nine Tails' chakra triggered an unprecedented change within Naruto. Since birth, he had grappled with an imbalance of chakra due to the Yang half of the Nine Tails being sealed within him. This led to a lack of control and difficulty with Jutsu. With the chakra flow severed, Naruto's body started to correct itself, achieving a natural equilibrium of mind and body, Yin and Yang. His untapped potential began to emerge, a power dormant within him since birth.
As Naruto's body adjusted, nature itself seemed to welcome this metamorphosis. The world sensed the shift, as if a profound transformation was underway. Back in the forest, Sakura, Sasuke, and the Sound ninja all felt the intense surge of chakra, leaving them breathless and on edge. It was a moment that would change everything.
