Chapter 9 : Academy Days and Graduation

## 4 Years Later ##

The sun is just starting to appear and shine above Konoha. People are starting to open their shops for another ordinary day. However to some people this is no ordinary day if you can say so. Four long years have passed and now both Naruto and Hinata are 14 years old and today is graduation day.

During these last four years their growth was tremendous and if we were to estimate their current level of power one can say that in terms of skill Hinata's taijutsu is kage level same as Naruto's ninjutsu and taijutsu. However if we were to be realistic their taijutsu is jonin level because, even though they both use gravity seals to increase strength and speed, their bodies are still developing and can't compete against adults with also lacking experience.

However these rules do not apply to ninjutsu even less Naruto. With his massive chakra reserves that dwarf even the hokage of the leaf and reasonable control. In fact Naruto must constantly train chakra control because of his ever increasing reserves. In fact Naruto is a chakra power house in terms of ninjutsu, with his high affinity for lightning coupled with fire and wind natures all of them offensive ones there isn't much of an obstacle Naruto can't surpass.

In the last four years Hinata has become master of her own taijutsu style derived from the gentle fist to which she calls 'Flowing Fist' which much like the name says, Hinata, due to her natural flexibility, flows through the enemy dodging all offensive attacks while closing the enemy's chakra points. Even though her own taijutsu style is extremely strong she still is very proficient in the original 'gentle fist'.

In Naruto's case his taijutsu style is very different. He trained his father style and mastered it, however if the enemy had some sort of shield, attacking the enemy pressure points would be pointless (A/N: No pun intended). So Naruto developed is very own style, combining the best offensive style of the Goken (Strong Fist) and pressure point damage with the defensive style of the Uchiha's interceptor fist creating what he call 'Dragon Fist'.

However he can add one small twist if you can call it that. Naruto after his training in lightning managed to envelop his own fists and foots in a coat of lightning chakra which if makes contact with the enemy can either massively increase the power of the strike or send the lightning chakra to the enemy's chakra circulatory system to effectively numb the area of the hit. This taijutsu style is called Raiken (Lightning Fist).

Actually since both Naruto and Hinata have Wind affinity they can create invisible chakra wind blades in their fingers. Invisible to anyone without doujutsu of course. Using this technique they can inflict damage to where ever they hit, damaging their muscles and disabling the enemy.

In the ninjutsu department one can say Naruto is a monster, with his three affinities completely mastered and all of them offensive, Naruto is a force to be reckoned with. His arsenal contains a vast amount of techniques for every affinity including a few creations of his own. Even though Hinata's has high chakra levels if compared to anyone her age, she has jonin level chakra reserves when should be gennin. Her advantage over Naruto comes from extreme high chakra control rivaling Tsunade herself. Due to her control se learned a few medicinal jutsus for self healing if necessary since Naruto has the fox's chakra.

Going for the genjutsu section let's just say the Naruto sucks at it. The only genjutsu Naruto is even able to cast without the Sharingan activated is Kokuangyou no Jutsu (Bringer of Darkness) a genjutsu created by the Nidaime hokage and considered a Kinjutsu due to the fact that even after activated its continues to drain chakra constantly. If we check Hinata, due her control she can pretty much use all genjutsu she knows but restrains from using the Kokuangyou no Jutsu (Bringer of Darkness) since she can't spend such amount of chakra.
