Naruto: Blood Bound
Chapter 2: Revelations upon Revelations
"Sooooo we finally meet pathetic brat…..finally you do me the honor of presenting yourself…." The voice mocked Naruto. The eyes of this presence made Naruto feel like if he was nothing, all of his fears and terrors seemed to reincarnate on this presence that was before him. Before Naruto could say something a gigantic paw launched from the bars, the pawn was bright red, bigger than anything Naruto had seen, the claws where about his height and black as onyx. The claw jumped towards Naruto yet never reached his target and as soon as they where about to reach Naruto they all felled down about a meter from him "If it weren't for this cursed seal….I would have already mutilated you brat….limb by limb…" The voice hissed thru out the bars as the cursed smiled seemed to even get bigger at the sight of Naruto.
"You..you…you….are the Kyuubi……The Nine Tales….." Naruto's voice tremble, his eyes where trembled, tensed and even some tears came out of them at the sight of the legendary Nine Tales.
The Kyuubi's eyes and smiled seemed to reflect satisfaction, as his eyes only closed and re-opened yet this time the smile was even bigger. As the voice sounded once again, it seemed to echo thru out the place "Bravo……Your powers of observation seemed to have finally gotten into action….pathetic brat…" the voice spoke sarcastically, icy and from time to time a laugh came out of it, Naruto continue just look in astonishment into the prison, the seal, those eyes and that smiled that made every nerve inside him shiver, the feeling he was getting he thought it would be one similar to one some one died, the feeling of being so helpless, so un-powerful, so useless and to have a feeling that everything he had achieved so far was about to be lost; all of Naruto's body was frozen in a state of fear.
Naruto continued his silence still looking at the Kyuubi.
"What is it brat….have you forgotten your manners…." the Kyuubi's voice seemed to trembled thru out the ground, as the eyes once again closed themselves as if disappointed as it spoke once again "Or is it this form that's so…so….." as it searched for the correct word "So intimidating…." the voice this time even came with some humor out.
Naruto only nodded still stupefied at the fox's presence.
"Well….It seems I must take a form in which you foolish mortal can at least present yourself…" after these words both smile and eyes disappeared into the cage, no noise could be heard, Naruto only looked at the cage with attention.
Waiting was not Naruto's specialty nor was he a patient, so he got up and began to look around the place, indeed it looked like a sewer, as he continued to wonder where he was the door that lead to where he was seemed to be connected by pipe lines, this was getting even more weirder that already was. Always keeping his distance from the prison, the silence was thick enough to be cut out with a knife, it was killing him, as he finally shouted in exasperation "What is this stinky hell hole!!!"
"You're mind you brat…." the voice came from the prison, from the bars a new form began to emerge, it was a little bit taller than Naruto, maybe not as tall as Tatsuno yet this new person was something beyond Naruto's wildest dreams. It was a girl; it could be mistaken for a woman due to her body features. Both of her eyes red, not crimson red as Tatsuno but a lighter red surrounded by a black line, the eyes possessed almost an automatic killing instinct, the women seemed that at each step she took emanated a sinister red chakra, soon the girl/women was about a few feet from Naruto as she looked at him "Better for you brat…" the voice thought it was less brutal and wild, it still had that icy tone, it seemed as if her voice could freeze or burn the air itself.
Naruto seemed to calmed down as he looked at the girl "You are a….girl??" he asked incredulously.
"What??….cannot a blood thirsty Demon-Nine Tales Kitsune be a female…or it's that this bloody male society couldn't never picture the Kyuubi as a women…" she said it while she touched her hair, her hair different to Naruto's thought that it will be red as her fur it was completely jet black with strokes of red on the edges, the spiky hair reached her neck and it was tied back as a pony tail. Her body impressively curved, her breast perfectly shaped, her legs and waist seemed to make a perfect match, her body perfect beyond any perfection. Naruto couldn't help but to gaze at such perfection and to make it worse she was dressed right now with a strange leather outfit that re-marked her body features. The only thing that was probably out of place in this woman where the so similar face fox features that he as well possessed and whiskers, her teeth where even sharper than Naruto's and well her fingers instead of have nails where adorned by powerful black claws, as well behind her she had a tail composed by 9 tails and her body skin was almost a reddish color, as she walked now almost like a meter from Naruto and smirked to him "So are you going to keep staring at my breasts all day long or are you going to introduce yourself brat…"
Naruto finally got into his senses and looked towards the Kyuubi's eyes, which he still had difficulty to keep staring at them; it gave him the creeps, after all such amount of killer instinct was hard to get used to it, after all since he had seen the Kyuubi in his fox form he had seen himself died ten times by just looking at those eyes. As finally searched for the courage he had used today to confront Mizuki and said in a daring and defiant voice "I am Naruto Uzumaki!! The ninja that someday is going to become the Hokage!!!" he said in his childish voice.
This seemed to amuse Kyuubi insanely, because just when he said that she couldn't help but to start laughing insanely, though a woman her laugher gave Naruto enough reason to tremble at it, as she finally calmed down and looked towards Naruto into his blue eyes "You amuse me brat….Its been a long time since anybody had ever amused me so fast…." her voice seemed to be a combination between sarcasm and humor.
Naruto glared at the Kyuubi "What do you mean?!?!" he shouted to her exasperated.
"Well I think is pretty obvious brat….you just have learned that it was a Hokage who sealed me within you….me…the one who has been the cause for all of your suffering…..and yet you want to achieve that goal??" she said this sarcastically yet serious looking at Naruto into the eyes, as she moved her tails playfully giving Naruto a sadistic smile.
Naruto only looked at the ground and tighten his grip, in his mind the words of the Kyuubi echoed, as he thought, maybe she was right, probably he should just storm the whole village with his new found technique, maybe…yet this was interrupted by an image of Iruka, the Hokage and Tatsuno smiling at him, as Naruto only looked at the Kyuubi with a victory smile "No….No….NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE MY MIND!!! NEVER!!! I WILL BECOME THE HOKAGE!!!" he shouted in a defiant voice towards the Kyuubi.
Even at this Kyuubi didn't even stern at all, in the contrary her eyes began to shine on interest at Naruto, as she sat down in her tails gazing at Naruto with an evil smile, as she just closed his eyes and opened them again "Like I said….You amuse me brat…even more than the Fourth…and he was amusing…..so….should we get down to business…..or do you have any questions before I begin explaining…I suggest you get yourself comfortable….this will be a long ride…" she said with a smile.
Naruto sat down in front of the Kyuubi looking at her curiously, he didn't felt fear or hatred anymore yet a tremendous curiosity of what was she going to tell him, as Naruto scratched his head and thought of a question to make before she began explaining "Well….First!! How did I get here!?! Second!! What do you mean by this is "my mind"!?!?! And Thirdly!! What was to meet the Fourth!?!" he asked enthusiastically at the Kyuubi.
The Kyuubi only smirked "I thought your questions will be a little more complicated….but alas with that mind of yours I doubt you could get anything better out of it…" she said this mocking Naruto, making Naruto irk yet she continued "As for your first question, you got here by a little surge of adrenaline you had left and my will alone to talk to you….in fact I had planned to have this chat when you where older yet it seems with the new information introductions are in order and the deal must be made…….For your second question, yes this is your mind, thought the seal is in your stomach my contact with you is from here…so before you ask…yes I do know what you are thinking and even some of your thoughts….as why is in this shape…well that will be because of your extraordinaire "stupidity"….brat…" she said this last part even joking with it and sarcastically making Naruto irk once again as she looked at Naruto's blue light eyes.
"HEY!!! Don't call me stupid!!!" screamed Naruto towards the Kyuubi.
The Kyuubi laughed maniacally "But that's what you are brat!! Plainly stupid!!" she stopped as she regained her composure and continued "As for your third question….not at all pleasant…yet I must add he was the first person to ever gain my respect….yet I hate that damned bastard….so anymore smart questions brat??"
Naruto began to think yet nothing could pop into his mind probably he will ask questions along the way, as he just gave Kyuubi a light smile and said "No…I will ask along the way if you don't mind Kyuubi…" he said seriously in his childish voice.
The Kyuubi only nodded "As you wish brat….So we are done with the introductions….unless you want me to introduce myself…." Naruto only shrugged and continued looking at the Kyuubi "Well to begin with the two of us are going to be together for a long, long time; so I suggest you better get used to a new voice in your mind….of course me being within you gives you a few well not exactly a few….but I can give you powers; of course I wont give them for free….an exchange will be in order but lets leave that for later…..The good news for you and the bad news for me….there is no way I can leave this seal, I tried thousand ways to break it yet it seems the Fourth sacrifice was more than enough to keep me here…." as she took air once again and looked at Naruto "Going too fast for you brat??" she asked sarcastically.
Naruto only glared at the Kyuubi and only moved his head meaning "no".
The Kyuubi smirked "Perfect…Another thing I must add….if you die, I die…so please don't try anything crazy or even think of suicide will ya brat….Now facts of my life….I indeed was a blood thirsty Kitsune…why because of humans….in fact we are creation of war…so you can say that the existence of us biju (tailed beasts) is due to the humans…not a higher divinity…" before she could continue Naruto raised his hand "Yes brat…" she asked a bit frustrated.
"What do you mean that you…well I mean are there more of you?.." he asked puzzled as he then asked "…What do you mean….that you are human creation….that your existence is because of humans…." he asked puzzled scratching.
The Kyuubi seemed a bit frustrated and angry of being interrupted yet she continued "Yes there are more like me….yet I am the strongest and most powerful of all….so you don't have to worry for competition…." as she began thinking of how to explain to him simply of how they came to exist as she finally came with an explanation "We biju before coming to the mortal world we where mere spirits…wondering around doing our daily routines with no worries at all…soon the Shinobi Wars began…we began to feel that we where being fed…to only discover that war fed us…..made us stronger….created us….and before we knew we had taken mortal forms…and seeing the opportunity of growing in power we decided to create more wars….by doing what we are known to have done…destruction…did we desired it….yes we did….where we stopped….well as you can see….." she said looking at the prison behind her "Any questions brat…"
Naruto was still trying to get everything into his mind, too much information yet after a few minutes he kind of got the idea of what she mean, as he looked at her with a curious face "No…I think you made yourself quite clear…yet….what do you want is yet unclear to me??"
The Kyuubi smiled evilly to Naruto, as she smiled to him "I am impressed brat…right into business….no sentimental feelings of "because of you I have suffered so much…"….I insist you amuse me brat…" she said in an evil and wicked voice.
Naruto just looked at her seriously and turned his face down thinking of what she had said, why hadn't he be the one of shouting to her, wasn't he on his right to shout to her, after all it had been her fault all of his suffering, yet he didn't hate her some how both where causes of other events that where beyond their control, as he looked at Kyuubi "Even if its your fault…its kind on neither your fault right…..after all you and me are both causes of events beyond our control….beyond our power….we had no choice did we….." he said with a puzzled face.
The Kyuubi looked at Naruto curiously, no one had ever thought of that, indeed she had chosen to destroy yet she never chose to make this kid suffer, maybe this kid was smarter than she had thought as she smirked to him evilly "Interesting…..very interesting brat…..you may not be as stupid as I thought…." as he looked at the pipelines around her cage that lead down the hallway, as she looked at Naruto with a smirk "For now rest brat…I got work to do….you will receive a present tomorrow morning….I hope you like it brat….so now….be gone pathetic brat…a long night awaits me…." as she got up from her tails and smirked to him, as she began to walk back towards her prison once again, leaving a trace of sinister red chakra.
Naruto shouted out to her, in curiosity more than exasperated, hatred or pissed off, it was just because he wanted to know what she meant with a present or why she will be all night long working "What do you mean by a present!?!?! What is it going to be!?! What do you mean!?!?!"
As she just turned around to him with a demonic smile, like if she was even happier at seeing this reaction, as she pointed to the pipelines and all the cables that where around the room and lead towards the hallway that lead out of the room, as she looked at him with her light red eyes with a smile "You can say I will be like a plumber or an electrician ……you could better say….I will fix that mistake that the Fourth left behind….take it…as my graduation present…from me to you brat…." as she walked now even nearer to the bars of the prison.
As Naruto shouted "WAIT!!!" she stopped and looked at Naruto seriously "Can I watch…." asked a bit ashamed.
The Kyuubi only smirked "You can of course…..but not from here….I will explain what I am doing just a bit…after all I am not aware of the results that this will bring to us brat…so…lets begin…" as she said this words she entered her cage and before Naruto could say anything he began to feel dizzy to only blackout.
……………………………
As Naruto opened his eyes to find himself in another gigantic room, the room had a great number of doors; all leading to hallways, Naruto only wondered where they lead, as something caught his attention….something he hadn't noticed a few seconds ago. As well all this doors had pipelines and cables. Yet different to the Kyuubi's room some of this pipelines and cables had blue energy flowing thru out them and others seemed didn't have any energy at all flowing thru out them, some even seemed to be old or even filled with dust, different to those that had energy flowing thru them. As he noticed that all of the pipelines and cables lead towards where he was standing, as he gazed up, to only see a gigantic crystal ball connected to all the pipelines and cables, in this crystal ball a big ball of blue energy seemed to be flowing the rest of the energy towards the pipelines in use. Naruto could only wonder what this things where, as a voice came to answer "This is the center of all of you….from here….all the chakra you command is being distributed all over your body and of course towards some functions within yourself such as: strength, speed, jutsu abilities….and so on…..the only function that chakra affects yet cannot be modified is the brains…thought with time it grows….." Naruto recognized it instantly it was the Kyuubi.
As Naurto continued to look at the pipelines and cables, and said to thin air "So basically….the more pipelines and cables that have chakra flowing thru them….more cooler I am…" he said in a wondering childish voice.
The voice of the Kyuubi answered "You could say….a bit simpler than what I said but well yes in simple words yes….thought I prefer to be more detailed brat…but yes in simple terms yes…" as Naruto began to look around as the Kyuubi's voice spoke again "For now your abilities brat…well you have seen them yourself….they leave too much to desire…and of course you can see it reflected here…." once again the Kyuubi's voice came to a pause.
Naruto only irked at her words and only watched the so few pipelines and cables that had any chakra going thru them and only looked down "Is it normal?? Is it normal for me to have such low abilities??" asked Naruto with a depressed voice.
The Kyuubi's voice took now even more time to answer "No it isn't normal…in fact you where bound to posses much more power and abilities as you can see…." she said meaning the great amount of empty pipelines and cables, as she continued "This was the miss calculation of the Fourth when sealing me….When he sealed me he never took in account the side effects of the seal…one of them was the blocking of some of your chakra into your system…your growing process….and of course having a hard time learning anything…." the voice of the Kitsune suddenly stopped for a moment "…And it's here when I come in…." this time the voice came to a sudden stop.
As Naruto searched for the place where the voice was coming yet was never able to see where it was coming from, as he said out loud "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN!?!?!" he asked exasperated.
"Like I said think of me as plumber or an electrician…" The voice came to a sudden stop; suddenly the sound of locks opening and cables moving began to come from one of the hallways, as Naruto turned and began to gaze towards the hallway, at a distance in the hallway could see a red light, as the red light began to come even closer, Naruto began to notice that it wasn't coming thru out the hallway but in the cables and pipelines, it was red chakra, the chakra of the Kyuubi, as the chakra moved thru out the cables and pipelines, all of them began to tremble, tremble of so much power that was moving thru out the lines. Naruto only gazed in amazement at this when he began to feel an itching sensation thru out his body, as he gazed at his left hand to only remove his black orange shirt to reveal red lines moving thru out his body yet he only gazed at the incoming red chakra, soon it entered towards the cables and pipelines that connected towards the center all of his chakra, soon the chakra entered the crystal ball and began surrounding the blue chakra "…Usually this process will have taken a lot of time yet…observe….brat…" Naruto didn't say anything as he just continued to observe the crystal ball, suddenly Naruto began to feel like if an explosion had happened in his body, as he began to observe of how both blue and red chakra began to fill up all other pipelines and cables leaving just two or three without being touched yet all of the others began to be filled by a blue line of chakra and surrounded by red chakra as the chakra moved at a impressive speed, giving light to the once so dark room, Naruto only watched in amazement, as pipelines and cables trembled at this power and his body as well trembled, the chakra continued to move at tremendous speed, as the crystal ball continued to explode immense quantities of chakra yet before he could ask something to the Kyuubi something punched him in the back, making him black out, loosing connection and consciousness to his mind, going to sleep, as the Kyuubi could be heard "Happy Graduation Brat…." said the evil voice happily over Naruto's unconscious mind….
……………………………………….
As the sun began to rise over Konoha, a knock on the door could be heard on the department of the brothers, Tatsuno who had risen early at the Hokages instructions, he had already washed himself up and was on his red armor, his garb on, he had put his sword into his back and before he could get the forehead protector he had heard the knock on the door. As he got the forehead protector and adjusted it slowly, as he was ready and looked himself one last time on the mirror and smirked to himself. As he looked at his brother, strangely he was under the blankets, probably a bad night dream, Tatsuno thought, as he heard the knock again, as Tatsuno began to walk towards the door thinking to himself "Can't they wait just a second…" as he opened the door to face two ninjas he recognized as Chunin due to their similar clothes as Iruka-sensei.
As both ninjas looked at Tatsuno "Uzumaki Tatsuno…right?" one of them said seriously.
"Yes…" answered coldly to both ninjas seriously, as he awaited instructions.
"We where ordered by The Hokage to escort you to the stadium….ohhh yes here its your mail…" said one of them giving him a white card, as Tatsuno took it and read to whom it corresponded, as it read "Uzumaki Naruto", Tatsuno wasn't the one to be minding his brothers business so he practically left it on the table so Naruto could see it as soon as he woke up, close to another paper that said "Be back soon."
As Tatsuno secured all of his equipment, his sword, armor and his forehead protector, including his kunai pouch he had on his back and gave a nod to both Chunins "So….Shall we get going…" At this words both Chunins and Tatsuno jumped out of the departments into the rooftops of Konoha. The door closed a few seconds later after Tatsuno and the Chunins left the hallway of the departments leaving sleeping Naruto alone.
As both Chunins and Tatsuno looked at the rising sun as it touched the roof of Konoha most of a reddish color, Tatsuno smiled a little at such sight, as one of the Chunins smirked a little as one barely muttered "Lets go…." At these instructions both Chunins and Tatsuno began jumping from rooftop to rooftop, Tatsuno had no problem keeping up with both Chunins, at this fact both Chunins looked at him curiously, probably the rumors about Tatsuno weren't so farfetched as they thought, soon the stadium came into view. The stadium was gigantic, used in the Chunins exam where fights where held, capable of sustaining all the population of Konoha in it adding the one's that came from other countries to either see or participate, divided into places depending on how much could they afford or in the cases of special seats they where reserved either for the nobility or Kages (Number one ninjas of the village), Tatsuno only wondered what could possibly the surprise exam be. Many ideas passed thru his mind as they neared the stadium.
Soon all this ideas where disturbed as they arrived at the main entrance of the stadium, there Sarutobi awaited with his pipe in hand, as Tatsuno and the Chunin arrived before the Hokage. Before the Hokage could say another word Tatsuno got into his knees before the Hokage "Tatsuno reporting for instructions sir…" he said in his cold serious tone looking down, the other two Chunins gasped at this, thought the Hokage was an important figure nobody bowed before him, as both Chunins looked back and forth from the Hokage to Tatsuno.
Sarutobi on the contrary only smiled to Tatsuno "Rise Tatsuno…I have said it once and I will say it again…don't be so formal with me…" said in a happy tone, at hearing this Tatsuno rose and looked towards the Hokage's eyes.
"You know me Hokage-sama…" he said with a light smile.
The Hokage looked at both Chunins and nodded to them "You may leave…thank you very much…" he said kindly.
Both Chunins only nodded back and gave a smile to the Hokage "Yes Hokage-sama…" with this both jumped leaving both Naruto and the Hokage alone.
As Sarutobi looked at Tatsuno and smiled to him "Follow me please…" he said with a light smile, Tatsuno only nodded back and followed the Hokage into the stadium.
As they where entering Tatsuno noticed a few more Shinobis around than they where suppose to be, after all, this stadium was only used during the Chunin exams, so it was kind of strange to see so more Shinobis yet Tatsuno ignored them and continued following the Hokage thru out many hallways, noticing they where going to lower ground, soon both Hokage and Tatsuno where in front of a door made out of metal. In this place there was a table, a chair and some water, Tatsuno looked around curiously.
"You will pass thru this door and confront your challenge when you are ordered to….understood….." Sarutobi's voice sounded much more serious than just a moment ago.
Tatsuno looked seriously at Sarutobi "May I ask what type of challenge will have I?" he asked seriously.
The Hokage turned around and smiled "Your abilities will be tested in a Shinobi fight….the fight rules are quite simple: Defeat your opponent by any means necessary…the fight is until death…yet if one of you is injured quite seriously there will be medical nin around and of course if one of you gets out of hand….ANBU will be there to stop the fight if necessary…." Tatsuno at hearing this gasped. "Was this so serious….to even have to use ANBU…" he thought to himself, after all the ANBU where the elite division of Shinobi around Konoha, used mostly only in assassination missions, wars or missions that not even a squad of Jounins could carry out.
Tatsuno continued in his thoughts as he was interrupted "Yet in your case….I have a few more rules for you…..by no means you are allowed to use your ultimate strength….and yet to assure this you are prohibited to hit your opponent with normal hits…." this last part he did it with a little smirk on his face.
Tatsuno thought astonished didn't panic much, thought his eyes did seem worried, he kept his calm demeanor, closed his eyes, he knew what he wanted or what the Hokage had in mind, he indeed wanted to test his abilities to its fullest as he said with a little smirk "A double edge sword….huh….you really want to see my technique fully in action don't you…." he said with a light smirk on his face.
The Hokage took a sip from his smoke, while he released he said with a light smile "Like I said…this test hasn't been done for more than 20 years….its only done in those cases where the students abilities are either unbalanced or simply there are much better than what the test reflects….such as you…." as he smiled and began to walk towards the hallway from where they had came from "Well…for now wait for the signal….you will be called…so don't worry…for now calm down…." the Hokage said while he walked away and disappeared, leaving Tatsuno alone in the room, seeing no other option, Tatsuno sat down closed his eyes and began to meditate, his combat strategy….
…………………………………………
Naruto's eyes opened, as he yawned and got up, as he scratched his head in a little bit in pain and looked at his surroundings a bit confused, as he was looking for something yet didn't saw anything as he just said to himself out loud "Now that was a strange dream…" as he got up and looked at Tatsuno's note and just smiled, yet then the envelop that was next to it caught even more his attention, as he grabbed it and red for who it was, after realizing it was for him he got a little excited after all, neither did Tatsuno nor him got any mail, so this might be special, as he opened carefully, as he pulled out a paper that was folded, as he unfolded it a little paper felt down, Naruto caught it with ease, as he began to read the card "Test Match: At the Coliseum today 8:00am, arrive early. The Konoha Council.." Naruto looked at it curiously, "Test Match?!?! What the hell?!?...Well better be going or I am going to be…" his thoughts where interrupted when he looked at the clock "7:30am!!! DAMN!!!!" he shouted.
Naruto had already seen that the other paper was the ticket for the match, so he did all of his daily routine, noticing that he had to duck a little under the bathroom door to get himself into the wash tub to get a bath, apart of that he was really doing everything as fast as he could to get himself even a little bit early to the match. As well while he was getting himself into the clothes he noticed that the sleeveless black shirt was a little tight for him, the upper shirt got into him with no problems yet the trouser where a little bit more tricky in fact he had to pick up a trouser he had bought he was going to use when he grew up, at this facts Naruto yet remained unaware after all he was even more worried about getting himself to the match fast, soon enough he tied up his forehead protector, adjusted it and grabbed his kunai pouch, like he always told his brother "A Shinobi should always be prepared for anything…", after he secured all of his belongings and the ticket into his pocket, he launched himself out of the department and into the roofs to get there, as he got up he began to notice that both streets and rooftops where packed, it seemed like if all the people from Konoha where going towards the Stadium, at this fact Naruto decided to pick up speed, as he began to jump from rooftop to rooftop, he suddenly began to feel lighter, as well he felt he could increment his speed much more, so he did it and before he knew he was jumping much more faster than even some of the Chunins that where going towards the stadium, Naruto continued to wonder why, yet decided to think it later for now the important thing was to get towards the stadium, as he began to even accelerate more his feet barely touched the ground yet chakra could be seen unleashed as he did this. "I wonder what's happening to me….." as he thought of the possibility of the dream for a moment yet he ignored it "Nahhh that was some wacko dream I had…thought it felt too damn real….", as he continued to move, not even noticing all the people that gazed at him with mouth open and eyes of astonishment.
…………………………………..
The day had began a little confusing for him, after all he was about to go to his daily training when he had been interrupted by a Chunin who had given him an envelop. What it contained was the real surprise, an invitation?? An invitation for Uchiha Sasuke?? Well now that was surprising, he didn't get a lot invitations lately after all, every invitation he got from either fan girl or noble he had refused it, yet this was a different type of invitation, an invitation to see a battle, this got Sasuke even more curious "Interesting….A test match huh…" was his thought, the black haired Genin had looked at it for a few minutes yet had taken the decision to go and see, after all to change the routine didn't do anything bad to him. Apart from this his day had gone perfectly normal, he had gotten his everyday clothes: his white short, his blue shirt with the "Uchiha" insignia, his forehead protector, kunai pouch and his white semi-sleeves, really the day seemed to be like any day for Sasuke with the exception of this match.
As he began his walking towards the stadium he had decided to take the rooftops to ignore all of the sights of the people who pitied him and his girl fan club which he was getting tired of it. He was moving at a normal speed, as he was about 3 blocks away from the stadium something disturbed his peacefulness and everything he had considered normal of his day went down into ashes. Just by his side a figure came at a terrible speed yet Sasuke got a full picture of him. He was about his height, his dark-orange spiky hair moved thru out his head until it reached his neck yet strangely it didn't fell to his forehead but to his back making it look like if he had put gel into his hair, his dark blue eyes made him look older than he really was, as well his three dark well marked whiskers….wait….whiskers, the only kid he knew who had whiskers was "Naruto?!?!?!?!" he exclaimed to himself as he continued to observe him…Indeed it was NARUTO!!! As Sasuke made a double check, yes it was Naruto, same clothes, same spiky teeth, same all day smile and a forehead protector….yes….a forehead protector?!?!? "Hadn't he failed!!! What happened!!!" he thought to himself. Yet this wasn't what irked Sasuke but the speed he was moving at, it overpass his, yet he was the best in his class…and Naruto was one place before the last place, what was wrong with the world "I won't loose to the baka…" he said to himself, as he began to accelerate his pace yet he found himself about a 50 centimeter from Naruto yet he continued trying to only find that Naruto didn't even seemed to be doing any effort this even frustrated Sasuke more, as finally Naruto landed in the front door of the stadium as Naruto looked at it and smiled as he exclaimed in his childish voice enthusiastically "Perfect!!! I did it in record time!! I even have some times to buy some snacks or something!!!".
Sasuke on the other hand didn't find this to be nothing to be happy at all, while he was taking air hardly the baka was talking perfectly calmed, what had happened to him, he will figure it out. After all, if something he hated more was to have known some one stronger than him and not only that but it had been the god forsaken "Baka" who was the number 2 idiot in his class, after Tatsuno of course even if the guy looked cool and anything he really did suck, as he looked at Naruto and just thought "Better earlier than later…now lets get this information…." as he began to walk towards Naruto "Hey you Ba…" he never finished the sentence he was interrupted by a trembling noise, in the distance you could see a cloud of smoke and in the distance two figures razing against each other, Sasuke only sighted.
…………………………………….
All of the people that walked the streets moved out of the way at the two running figures, one of them with a short red dress under it a black jumper that covered her legs, as well a tight black short sleeved t-shirt and her long pink hair that once used to be held by a red bandana was now hold by the Leaf forehead protector, her so large forehead and her strong green eyes composed the girl known of Haruno Sakura, this girl of calmed demeanor and over all patience usually only snapped by two people: Naruto and the girl who was right besides her. Yamanaka Ino, this girl of blond long hair tied in a pony tail that reached her back and green dark eyes was Sakura sworn nemesis, dressed in a purple t-shirt which was separated of the mini purple skirt, under it seemed that Ino had covered herself in bandages to prevent any damages, after all it reached her torso and it could be seen a little in her shoulders, as well similar to Sasuke she had white half sleeves on both hands and the normal black combined flip-flop boots. Both girls where running side by side caring nothing about who or what stood on their way, only looking at each other trampling some people along the way.
"You wont get away with it this time Ino-pig!!!" shouted Sakura to Ino exasperated.
"Keep dreaming forehead girl!! I will win once again!!" answered Ino in an evil voice.
As both girls came nearer and nearer to Naruto's and Sasuke's position the more they accelerated, soon both girls arrived to the front door of the stadium just a few feet away from the boys, as both arrived both shouted in unison "I Win!!" both girls voice could be heard.
"It seems I won this time Ino…" said Sakura with a smirk while gasping for some air.
"Really Sakura….I think you where just a tad late…" answered Ino with a similar evil voice.
Just as the discussion was going about to continue Sakura noticed Sasuke and almost in an impressive bi-polar way her once cold and evil demeanor had changed to that of a calmed girl and cute girl. As she began to walk towards Sasuke who had still his eyes on Naruto, his eyes expressed hatred and he seemed to be even irked at him, ignoring this Sakura looked at Sasuke as she made her best smile and her best flirting position; her cheeks blushing a little "Ohh Sasuke-kun….I was wondering if you and me could see the match…you know….together…." she said in a cute shy voice.
"No!! The only person who Sasuke is going to see the match is with me!!!" interrupted Ino with an exasperated voice.
"Just try it Ino-pig!!!" shouted once again back into her cold and evil demeanor.
"Bring it on forehead girl!!" shouted Ino back.
"No the only girl who is going to go with him is me!!!" came another girl into the scene, then another and another. Before you knew there where about 10 girls fighting for who will be going with Sasuke to the match. Sakura and Ino where the loudest one's saying such things as: "But I saw him first!!" or "Yeah!! We got here before any one of you!!!"
All of this was interrupted by a single childish voice "YEAH!!! Exactly what I needed for my Instant Ramen!!!" all of the people around recognized the voice instantly, it was Naruto's. As all of the girls where about to turn around towards the voice came from to begin insulting and menacing Naruto, all came to a sudden stop when they saw the voice from where it had came from, for a moment or two things seemed to go in slow motion for all of the girls. As they watched the boy walk towards a food stand, all of them looking at him with eyes of amazement, wondering who or what happened to him: his new hair, his eyes, his height and his whiskers…he looked….he looked…."Hot…" one of the girls muttered to herself.
As Naruto got into the food stand and said in an enthusiastic voice "Oji-san (old man)!! Could you please give an instant Ramen please!! With the water in it already!!" the owner of the stand without even turning around to see who it was, answered back "Of course Naruto!! One Instant Ramen coming right out!!!" as the owner turned around with the instant ramen in hand gasped at what was before him, was it…was it…."Naruto??" he asked incredulously.
"Hai!!" he answered with a smile to him.
The owner somehow came back to his senses and still looking at him said with a smile "Ohhh here it is your ramen!!" he said happily.
"Thank you!! Here is the money!!" he said it handling it to the owner of the stand with a smile.
The man continued looking at Naruto "Any time Naruto!! Thank you very much!!!" he answered back.
"Ummm Oji-san…is there something in my face??" he asked the stand owner, after all he was wondering why he was being looked by him in such manner.
"No nothing Naruto….you just seemed different today…" he said in a nervous tone.
"You think so…hehehe!!" he said chuckling touching his forehead protector, after all this was new to his costume, as he opened the Ramen "Well for now…Ititakimasu!! And see you around Oji-san!!" at saying this Naruto began to walk towards the stadium door with a gigantic smile while he enjoyed his Ramen, never noticing all of the girls, boys and adults who looked at him either in a menacing glare, envious glare or the case of the girls astonishment. Soon Naruto entered the stadium door disappearing from the view of the Sasuke fan club and Sasuke, who couldn't help but to continue glaring at the door in which Naruto had entered.
"Baka….probably was too busy thinking about his stomach to notice all the people looking at him…" was Sasuke's thought while he as well began to walk towards the stadium door calmly, ignoring the stupefied fan club.
"Was that…" said one of the girls in a stupefied voice.
"No it can't be…" answered another one in the same voice manner.
"Naruto…" both Sakura and Ino gasped together.
As all of the girls questions came popping into their heads yet there was one obvious which was present in all of the girls and all the people who had seen Naruto during the day "What has happened to him??" Not bothering to continue watching thin air and think about Naruto, all of the girls began as well to walk calmly towards the stadium entrance.
…………………………………
The stadium was packed, all of Konoha was in there, even Shinobi's that where suppose to be on missions where there, the nobles where no exception after all they could never miss a match of this nature, for the kids who weren't informed about it, was just an event that they had received an invitation too and it maybe something entertaining to attend to. For Hinata Hyuuga was just another social event her father had forced her to go, for Hinata who represented the next head of the Hyuuga clan this type of things where really something, after all her image must be seen by respect by all the other clans. Hinata was a short girl of silver eyes pupiless; characteristic of her bloodline known as the "Byakugan" only used by the Hyuuga clan people, this ability gave the owner the power to see Chakra and the chakra points of the human body and increment her eyes sight almost 200 times and have the ability to see in a 360° angle. She had short blue hair which didn't even reached her neck, she had a much smaller and less curved body than Sakura or Ino, yet her body gave her and air of innocence and she looked incredibly good, the Leaf forehead protector she carried on her neck, as well had a strange stylish sweater, the strange combination of blue flip-flap boots and some tight blue pants. Yet her face and eyes spoke sadness, after all her only meaning of existence had vanished a day ago, so she was in a total depression, for more than 6 hours she had cried yesterday after the news off….
"Ohhhh that was a good ramen!!!" the childish voice could be heard a few seats from her, the voice seemed relieved and happy, the so recognizable voice of…"Naruto!!!" Hinata exclaimed searching for the seat where the voice had come from.
Yet Hinata had a hard time to find Naruto. Yet when she found him, her face became stupefied at the sight of the new Naruto. Hinata couldn't believe her eyes after all the first thing that caught her attention was the forehead protector in Naruto's forehead, which only made her smile even more "So Naruto did graduate….that means….I might be in a team with him…"she thought, Yet this wasn't the only new thing in Naruto, his hair had changed and "…of course it wasn't like that!!" she thought to herself after all the thought of such thing did appear on his mind yet she was the number one fan of Naruto and of course he had never looked like that. The spiky dark-orange hair, his whiskers now even more marked and his eyes which where once light blue, yet all of this changes didn't made Hinata dislike Naruto on the contrary her feelings for him incremented much more than they used to be, after all it seemed like Naruto's childish actions and ideals where untouched by the sudden change in Naruto's body.
"Hehehehe….So exciting a true Shinobi fight!!" exclaimed Naruto, while he looked at his surroundings looking for any familiar faces and just to waste time really.
"Hey!!! Don't be so loud yo…." the high yet strong voice came from a seat just behind Naruto, yet the sentence never ended, Naruto turned around to face a kid that was a little less taller than him, his face had two red tattoos on the sides of his chin, as well like Naruto's similar animal characteristic could be seen, only that in his case this where more like a dogs, as well pointed teeth, black eyes and the Leaf forehead protector he carried on his forehead. Dressed in a similar style of Hinata that stylish sweater with strange furry parts around the arms and the cap that was attached to the sweater it carried. In the case of Hinata's the furry parts where white and usually she didn't had the cap on, different to the kid behind Naruto who had the cap on all the time and the furry parts where black instead of white, in the stylish sweater he had a little light brown dog, the kids name was Inuzuka Kiba. His face as well as all the people that had looked at Naruto was completely stupefied.
"What is it Kiba??" asked Naruto with a light smile yet with curious eyes at the face of Kiba.
"Naruto?!?! Is that you!!" Iruka asked incredulously.
"But of course it's me you Baka!!!" answered Naruto now a little exasperated at the tone that Kiba was using.
"Are you sure?! Aren't you using that Henge no Jutsu again (Transform)!?!?! Kiba exclaimed while he grabbed Naruto's head and began examining it while trying to pull his hair out.
"HEY!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!!" shouted Naruto while he pulled Kiba's hands out of his face.
Kiba looked at Naruto with curious eyes "Well I mean….you are different…." he said with his hand on his chin looking at him strangely, as the dog that was on his sweater just barked at Naruto "Yeah….Akamaru says you are different…too different…." he said with curious eyes.
"Yes….his scent….his chakra….his aura….he has changed,,," the voice came from besides Kiba.
"AHHHHH!! Shino!!!" said both Kiba and Naruto in uni-son to the boy besides Kiba. The boy was known as Shino Aburame, the kid whore glasses that completely covered his eyes, a black afro hair, the Leaf forehead protector as well on his forehead, a greenish black coat that covered his mouth, black normal trousers and the blue combination of boots with flip-flop, as in one of his hands a little bug moved around slowly.
"How can you be so sure I have changed?!?!" asked Naruto now exasperated.
Shino looked at him with his cold expression "Bugs never lie Naruto…they have never done it and never will…" Shino's cold voice could be heard.
Naruto only looked at Shino with a pissed off expression, as he was about to complain to him when another voice "Hey you Baka….what the hell did you do to yourself…" this voice was serious and lazy Naruto turned around to face two other kids. One was dressed in brown baggy trousers, a net like shirt and above it a dark yellow shirt the Leaf forehead protector had been modified by and was now an insignia incrusted into one of the sides of his t shirt. He had black eyes and black spiky hair tied back into a pony tail, this kids name was Shikamaru Nara. The kid next to him was a fat, his eyes could barely be seen, the forehead protector was done in a bandana to protect his head, dressed in a normal white short, a normal blue shirt with a blue with a red sign in the middle, a sleeveless open sweater, a red scarf and a some fingerless gloves with a metal plates on them, this kids names was Choji Akimichi. In one of his hands was eating some chips ignoring completely Naruto just commenting "Yes…he is different…" he said in his normal any day happy tone.
Naruto now was really getting exasperated "See told ya Baka…" said Kiba with a smirk to Naruto.
"Yes….you have changed Naruto…" said Shino coldly.
Shikamaru only put a hand on his forehead frustrated "Naruto….have you noticed how people have been looking at you today…." he said in his lazy tone.
Naruto began to look around to only notice people eyes that where starring at him stupefied, he even caught Hinata's eyes who after realizing that she was being watched only blushed heavily, he also got a glimpse of Sasuke that was coming nearer to where he was as well his eyes glaring at him with what he thought it seemed like hatred he could only wonder "Now what did I did wrong??" as well he saw the Sasuke fan club who was right behind him looking at him from time to time and even Sakura looked at him….SAKURA!!! "How?!?! When?!?!" after all everybody knew about Naruto's titanic crush on Sakura, yet she had never laid eyes on him, they where always for Sasuke. Naruto couldn't help at this point but to touch his face, to only feel it rougher and stronger, as his hands went towards his hair, as he began to feel it spiky, longer, as he realized how it reached his back, as well thought of his day, of how some of his clothes were too tight for him now….tight?!?! he had grown not gotten….As the thought crossed his mind he unzipped his upper shirt to reveal his black sleeveless shirt, yet the shirt was completely pasted to his body, as he noticed he was marked…marked….all of his torso, was incredibly marked, his thorax seemed like if he had done thousands of push ups and his hands muscles where much more bigger than normal. At this all the girls who where gazing at the commotion couldn't help but to drool at Naruto, Hinata being the closest one was now red as a cherry as in her mind a little perverted thought appeared "Bad Hinata!!" she thought to herself while she continued to drool over Naruto; even Ino and Sakura drooled at Naruto's body.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?!! PUSH UPS ALL NIGHT LONG!!!" shouted Kiba with an astonished face.
Naruto was speechless as he began to look around in search for something noticing Hinata being the closest one "Ummmm Hinata…" he said ashamed, Hinata on the other hand continued to blush heavily as a cherry, Naruto only shrugged "Do you have a mirror you could lend me…" he asked with a kind smile.
Hinata only nodded "Hai!!!" she said in her cute childish voice, as she gave Naruto the mirror, as he grabbed the mirror from Hinata she continued to blush at his touch "Naruto…touching me…." she thought smiling to herself.
As Naruto grabbed the mirror and looked at himself, "In the name of…" where the only words that escaped Naruto's mouth, as he touched his face incredulously, he was different, he had changed a lot…too much as everybody had said to him today.
"Don't tell me you didn't look at yourself in the mirror today you Baka…" said Shikamaru in his lazy tone.
Naruto gave Hinata the mirror back while he zipped his upper shirt back, his face was still in a stupefied state, by now even Sasuke was on the commotion only glaring at Naruto and the fan club only looked at Naruto blushing "You even passed the exam baka…" the cold voice of Sasuke was heard, everybody noticed as well yet had ignored it completely, as before more questions could burst out Naruto got scared. He remembered, he remembered what had passed on the dream…in that case this was…this was…..her present, Naruto only smiled a bit to himself, as he looked at the whole group with his any day smile "Heh…It seems I am finally growing up…" he said back into his childish voice to the group.
"Growing up my…." Sasuke never ended the sentence because behind the big commotion Iruka appeared with an irked face "ALL OF YOU TO YOUR SEATS NOW!!!" he shouted.
Without a fuzz the whole commotion went down, all of kids on their seats and Iruka looking at the whole group that was now on their seat with an irked face "Now!!! Be quite all of you or all of you are going to get into trouble if you continue with this ruckus….and you Nar-nar-r-NARUTO!!!" exclaimed Iruka while he looked at Naruto with an incredulous face, he was different too different but he had seen him just a few hours ago and he wasn't like this…not at all…he will have a chat with him soon enough.
"Yes Iruka-sensei!!" he said seriously to him.
Iruka continued to look at him stupefied "Ummm nothing…" he said, thinking it will be probably better to discuss in a more private place, while this thought passed his mind he sat down besides Naruto, still looking at him.
The whole commotion had calmed down yet from time to time all of the people continued to look at Naruto with glares, drools and sometime even smiles from Hinata, this was getting Naruto to his nerves. He wanted to be noticed but not like this, by the gods he was already subject to so many critics and now this. Yet for now he decided to ignore the gazes and concentrate on the match. After another few minutes in the highest point of the stadium a platform could be seen, in the platform a type of stone throne the Hokage Sarutobi sat down looking at the stadium and the arena that was now surrounded by medical nin. By his sides two Jounins guarded him and stood still without moving at all awaiting orders. Finally the Hokage looked at his clock and smiled, as he got up and walked towards the border of the platform with a smile, as his voice boomed thru out the stadium "PEOPLE OF KONOHA I WELCOME YOU ALL!!!" at his voice all of the stadium went into a deep silence, soon enough the Hokage began to once again talk "For you people who are aware of the nature of this fight, the rules are simple: Fight till the death!!" this time a gasp was heard thru out the stadium "Yet…no need to worry no one will die…medical nin and ANBU will be guarding this fight to assure none of the two fighters gets seriously hurt or dies….yet the fight will continue till any one of them is unable to stand up…" then was silence again "Now…for those who aren't aware of the nature of this fight let me explain….rarely…in very but very few occasions….a Shinobi on Konoha is judged wrong or his qualifications as such don't reflect his true power….is in those special cases with hold a match for them…so I and other judges are able to truly see their abilities and skills…so they can be properly checked…..this is the nature of this match…..Now…..LET THE FIGHT BEGIN!!!" at this last statement, the whole crowd shouted crazily, as soon the Hokage was talking once again and the crowd once again went silent "And now….the one that will be fighting the one to be tested……Ryuu Sakoshita…..Chunin Rank Shinobi…." as from the crowd a black dressed Shinobi jumped, he whore a black long sleeved shirt that had a red flame on his side indicating his rank as a Chunin; black baggy trouser, the Leaf forehead protector, black tight gloves, purple short hair and silver eyes; it was taller than Tatsuno he was about 18 years old. On his back he carried a light sword. As he walked in and gave a light bow to the crowd who was shouting crazy at the Chunin, after all he was a well recognized Chunin among the population and a candidate for the ANBU unit. As once again the silence came "As for the one to be tested is…."
"I wonder who will be the poor looser to get beaten by that guy…" said Naruto with a light chuckle after all he knew perfectly what Ryuu was capable off.
…………………………………
It had been almost an hour since Tatsuno had the ANBU in the room, this specialized Shinobi, usually where almost always dressed in black with some strange type of metal black armor, a light sword on their backs and always caring masks to disguise their true identities among the Shinobi population. Yet this time the 10 ANBU that surrounded him where dressed in yellow and white garbs with caps that covered all of their body and hair, the only thing see able was the masks they carried and since they entered they had never talked to him, keeping a death silence in which Tatsuno answered in the same way, till one of them spoke out "Its time…"
Tatsuno only got up from his chair as he adjusted his equipment and sword, as he began to walk towards the door the Hokage had signaled him, as Tatsuno began to walk the ANBU followed him close by not making a sound, Tatsuno could feel the tense in them, this was serious, as the door began to open and the full sun light began to invade Tatsuno's eye sight, as he could hear the distant voice of the Hokage "Tatsuno Uzumaki…..Genin Rank Shinobi…." finally Tatsuno's eyes got used to the light, as he looked in astonishment and complete unbelief to the coliseum, it was full, all of the people of Konoha where there, everybody was here; as he began to look for his brother, unable to find him, his eyes shifted towards the Hokage, as he smirked to him "Very clever Hokage-sama….very clever….you even managed to make the room sound proof…." the stadium for about a minute was in complete silence, everybody knew about him, the death last of the new Shinobi generation, as Tatsuno walked nearer towards his opponent and bowed fully to the crowd.
…………………………………………..
"TATSUNO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" was Naruto's first words or better said scream that came out of him after seeing it was his brother who was going against Ryuu, "What was going on today!?!? Really, first my body and now...now…this!!!" Was one of the few thoughts that crossed Naruto's mind.
Iruka was as astonished as Naruto as well, his face was mouth open looking at Tatsuno with eyes of unbelief, was the Hokage crazy!! To put a barely graduated Genin against an almost Jounin now Chunin, was he really that crazy.
The expression of which used to be on Tatsuno's class was almost the same. All of Tatsuno's classmates gazed at him with faces of astonishment, only Shikamaru's face was a lazy one as he just sighted "This fight has already been decided…." he said in his lazy tone, breaking the silence among the seats where he was seating.
Naruto who was just a seat behind him "What do you mean?!?!" he asked nervously.
"Don't you see…..Tatsuno has already lost…" he said in a lazy voice.
Naruto was about to complain when Shino spoke in his cold voice "I hate to agree with this……yet….he is right…."
Kiba only sighted as he crossed his arms and looked with pity at the bowed Tatsuno "Yeah….he doesn't stand a chance down there….even if his abilities are better than what we saw…." he said in his loud voice yet it sounded a little bit pitiful.
Naurto's body tensed as he got up from his seat and looked at his brother, was he going to loose…the thought of Tatsuno loosing was unbearable, even if it was against an enemy who was beyond his capacities, he hated to his brother fall even against a stronger opponent, as his eyes looked at his brother in exasperation at being unable to do anything.
The once quite stadium became that of shouts against Tatsuno, after all he was weak and was for surely going to loose against Ryuu. The shouts and complains where like "What's the meaning of this!!!", "This is an insult for us and for Ryuu!!", "Loose fast would ya!! I have many things to do!!!" well you get the idea.
……………………….
Tatsuno only stood up in silence as he walked towards his opponent, his head down, after he did expected this type of critics yet he began to feel hatred for them, yet he only walked coldly until he was about a few meters from his opponent, he was going to unleash it all to this guy. They will see, they will learn to respect him, they will see what he was made off.
Soon both fighters where face to face, Ryuu smirked "I feel a little insulted…with one of the brother's to fight me….heh….this wont take long…." he said as he got into a fighting position.
Tatsuno on the other hand didn't even took a taijitsu (fighting style) position, he just gripped his knuckles, as from where he stood little rays of chacka began to move thru out his body, as he looked at him with a smirk "Death last…..useless…wont take long…baka….looser…heh….you will see…" his mind thought.
As another Jounin walked into the middle and smiled to both "Begin!!!"
Ryuu didn't wait even a moment he charged towards Tatsuno non stop the whole crowd went into silent. Ryuu launched a fatal kick towards Tatsuno's neck, Tatsuno didn't move, as if he was waiting for the mortal blow. The kick had the power to cut a brick into two, the speed and strength that it moved where the result of years of training and now here the results where going to show, Ryuu only smirked to himself as the hit went straight towards Tatsuno's neck.
BROTHER!!!!!!" shouted exasperated Nartuo as he watched in terror the mortal wound that was going towards Tatsuno's neck.
"It's over…" Shikamaru's lazy voice could be heard.
The hit suddenly came to a full stop, the foot was about a few centimeters from his neck, yet it was stopped and there was no hand, no armor, no weapon…Ryuu's face looked at his feet astonished, his feet was being surrounded by a blue chakra shield, the chakra shield covered Tatsuno's neck, as Tatsuno looked at Ryuu with a smirk "Wont take long you say…..I think this is far from over…." he said with an evil cold voice.
Suddenly the shield broke out in a burst of chakra sending Ryuu's feet back yet before he could react Ryuu saw Tatsuno's punch moving towards him, Ryuu was about to pivot and evade the punch when a powerful force made contact into his face sending him a few feet away yet he landed expertly. As his eyes tensed towards Tatsuno, as he saw that the punch was still half away from where it was suppose to hit, Ryuu "How…did…you…" he asked incredulously.
Tatsuno smirked to his opponent, as he walked nearer towards him as he was about a meter from him "This…." he smirked, as with one single movement he launched a kick towards Ryuu yet this kid would miss him due to the distance it was being launched, Ryuu smiled knowing it will miss yet he notice that as the kick reached the air, chakra was unleashed from it, the chakra surge reached Ryuu sending him another few feet away yet this time as he landed he touched his face in pain, as Tatsuno got into a taijutsu position "Now….Let me show you…what a death last is capable off…." he said as another surge of chakra rays flowed thru out his body.
