"Where is he?!" Sakura screamed at the top of her lungs, "Naruto-baka was supposed to be here 10 minutes ago!"

"Calm down, will ya? I'm sure Naruto will be here soon," Ino said, trying to calm her down

"First he arrives when Kakashi shows up for our Genin-exam! Then he's late to the first part of the Chunin-exams! After that, we went into the forest without him! And now let's late to the match with Neji?! I'M GETTING TIRED OF THIS!"

"Hey! Shut-up!" Kiba shouted, "Can't you see people are trying to think?!"

"Looks who talking!" Sakura shouted back

"Jeeze, you'd think she'd be able to shout in her head," Kiba said as he looked at Hinata, "so, Hinata, how are you feeling?"

"G-good, t-thank t-to Naruto-kun," Hinata replied

"Oh yeah? That's good... so who do you think is gonna win the match? I'm saying Naruto,"

"S-same h-here,"

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! WE HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE! IF NARUTO UZUMAKI DOESN'T APPEAR IN THE NEXT 10 MINUTES! HE IS DISQUALIFIED!" Hayate shouted to the audience

"*Sigh* Figured, troublesome blonde," Shikamaru whispered as he leaned back, "wake me up when he gets here,"

9 Minutes Later:

Neji was growing impatient. But he soon calmed down, seeing it as an easy win, "It seems destiny has planned for me to save my strength for the true fight," Neji said as he looked at Hayate, "I'm done here, tell Uzumaki that he lost,"

"Now hold on there!" a voice shouted as Neji turned his head to see Naruto walking toward him. Naruto was wearing a white gi with orange pants. His hair was tied up in a pony-tail and allowed to flow down his neck. He had a nervous smile on his face as he approached the arena, "Sorry everyone, this sorta slipped my mind. I was so busy watering my plants, I completely forgot about this stupid thing," Naruto said as he pointed at Neji

"Excuse you?" Neji asked

"Yeah, sorry about being so late. Let's get this over with," Naruto replied

"You called me a 'stupid thing', didn't you?" Neji asked

"Huh?"

"You... you... YOU SNIVLING LITTLE CUR!" Neji shouted as he got into the Hyuga's Gentle Fist

"We both genin ready?!" Hayate asked. Naruto rolled his shoulders as he popped his neck, spreading out his legs bit while also giving a relaxed stance, "Yeah, just hurry it up," Naruto said

"BEGIN!" Hayate shouted. Neji charged forward as Naruto, who simply took a step back while moving to the side. Neji's strike flew by Naruto as Neji did a swift 90-degree turn on his heel and tried to hit Naruto. The Uzumaki, however, raised his hands and redirected the strikes to move away from his body. Neji then smirked as he said: "Eight Trigrams: Palm Rotation!" and spun in place, hoping to mess up Naruto's footwork and cause him to trip. But Naruto simply moved his knee and placed it against Neji's preventing him from spinning. Neji's eyes widened in surprise as Naruto grabbed Neji's right shoulder with his left hand and smiled, saying: "Gathering Clouds: Triple Strike."

And delivered three blows in rapid succession, hitting Neji in the glabella (the area between the eyebrows and above the nose), the Philtrum (a vertical indentation in the middle area of the upper lip), and the chin. Neji felt those parts of his skull break as his eyes rolled back into his head and he fell onto the ground, unable to continue fighting. Naruto then turned around and looked up at Hinata, "Hey! Hinata! Wanna go grab something to eat?!"

[Yeah, this popped into my head]
