Chapter 4: Naruto vs Gaara.
Everyone looks sickened, stairing at the almost indestinguishable tangle of Stretchy and Squeaky except for Gaara, who was grinning at the grusome seen, and Naruto, who was passed out. The medical ninjas managed to separate the last contestants and carried them off in stretchers.
The computer picked the next two names. Gaara and Naruto! Gaara, lazy as usual, did some sort of sand teleportation tecnique to reach the field. Naruto was passed out, from where Squeaky zapped him. Sakura started to kick him. Hard. She woke him up once, then accidently knocked him back out. After a few minutes, Kakashi came over and did some sort of weird jutso. Naruto teleported to the field and woke up. "Begin!" the anouncer shouted.
Naruto jumped to his feet, just as Gaara's sand reached him. He lept directly at Gaara, kunai in hand, screaming bloody murder. Gaara's sand shield stopped him in midair. Naruto hovered in the air (just another advantage of being a ninja), swiping his kunai back and forth like crazy. He still was screaming. Gaara's sand on the ground formed into a giant fist and punched Naruto from below, into the ceiling. Naruto shouted something in his high-pitched , squeaky voice (we think he did a shadow clone jutsu), and Two Narutos flew back down. Gaara formed his sand into two fists and punched both. The clone dissapeared and Naruto returned to the ceiling. Four Naruto's returned. Same result. Then Eight Naruto's, then Sixteen, then Thirty two, the list goes on and on.
After 26.525698148663485498915324894564789456415648649… (I think that is specific enough, don't you?) minutes of this, Naruto decided on another tatic. His countless shadow clones drew cunai, and all bunched around Gaara's automatic shield, beating up on it untill they got to the guy inside. Then they had to go through his super-hard-sand-shell. After a few minutes, they managed that. Then everyone but Naruto realized that the entire thing was a sand clone. Naruto just kept chopping.
The real Gaara rose from the sand behind Naruto, kunai in hand (bet he isn't even strong enough to puncture Naruto). Just before we could find out the answer the that last line, The fox realized it was in danger, flared up a red energy around Naruto, and threw Gaara against the far wall. Obviously, he fainted. Naruto didn't realize it though, he just kept chopping and chopping and chopping while shouting "You can't beat me, not now, not ever" intermittantly with his roar/screams.
Note: I was planning to have this fight be my tie because, like in the original, one battle had to tie to make the next round even, but I already used my tie. Oops. MusicAgainstTheHeart won the contest in the last chapter, at least partially. She knew squeaky's name, but not stretchy's. If you like my story, check her's out. They look just as freaky. They don't have the same no cursing promise though… Anyway, whoever can find Stretchy's name and put in in a review for me will also get confirmation.
