[Chapter inspired by: Hollywood undead: Young]

CRUNCH!

The sound of an empowered foot meeting bone echoed throughout the arena eliciting winces from many of the genin who were not used to such crude sounds.

"I-I surrendered, why continue at the cost of your reputation" Yoroi stuttered out as he cradled his broken leg that he had used to block the insane boys kick causing the Uchiha to give a demented smirk "because your death will further my capacity" the boy made for another stomp kick but was quickly detained by the hokage who sighed and glanced at Kakashi Hatake with a disappointed gaze "you utter fool" he thought as he commanded one of the vacant jounin to take Sasuke to the hospital and tie him down.

The matches quickly returned to their normal standards with Ino Yakamana, an expert in psychological manipulation squaring off against Sakura Haruno, a Kunoichi with extreme book smarts, though lacking the common sense to use it. The fight ended in a double knockout with Sakura's second personality expelling Ino from the bubblegum girls mind at the cost of bodily exhaustion. The next match was Tenten Hagurashi vs Temari no Sabaku, the fight was in simple words, one sided, Tenten, being a weapons mistress was an atrocious match up for Temari, an adept wind user who repelled all her attacks and virtually mauled her with an iron fan.

The steel wielding kunoichi was carried off on a stretcher sporting several lacerations and a broken spine from her brutal drop onto the pommel of the fan. Minutes later the steel wielding mistress was carried off on a stretcher allowing the sand kunoichi to leap up onto the balcony "the foolish girl should have just given up, weapons against a wind user is obvious suicide" Naruto nodded mutely "the girl is stupid" he silently agreed; it looked like common sense was something that everyone lacked in this day and age. Sighing he leaned back as the fights seemed to fly by with his lack of attention.

"Naruto, it's your go now" Sakura spoke quietly, almost timidly as she shook her team-mates shoulder gently "hn" memories of her abusive tendencies flashed though his mind's eye "there's no point in thanking her" he thought darkly as he leapt over the railing and landed on the weapon ridden stone, facing the ever confident Kiba Inazuka "you should give up now, baka, wouldn't want to leave any lasting injuries would I" the dog like boy spoke confidently as he readied himself for a fast swipe that he assumed would disable his opponent.

With baited breath they watched as Hayate's hand slowly descended...

"BEGIN!"

With the beginning of the match signalled Kiba leapt forward and swiped in a horizontal motion aiming for the eyes as to quickly end the match; but it was not to be as Naruto, anticipating the motion stepped into Kiba's guard and landed a hard punch to the gut, winding the dog tamer and allowing the supposed 'dead last' enough time to spin kick the boy in the gut sending him into the wall with a small gasp being his retort "I know you're not out yet, get up; get up so I can break you down" he heard a growl and a brief scent of smoke flooded his nostrils. It was then two feral Kibas appeared either side of him.

Smirking Naruto twisted and spin kicked the Kiba to his left sneering in contempt as he heard a body collide with the floor "I don't even have to open my eyes, and in case you haven't noticed, I reinforced my kicks" he muttered just loud enough for Kiba to hear which was enough to rile the mutt up "Come on Akamaru, we'll show him" Kiba growled as he stepped back and braced his claws against the floor with chakra "Gatsuuga!" (I think thats how its spelt?) Kiba cried as both human and dog turned into twin tornadoes that should he sustain a direct hit would end up with possibly a large hole torn into his stomach "in the words of a lazy bastard, how troublesome" calmly he opened his eyes, refusing to wince at the invasion of bright white lights "foolish Inazuka" his eyes flashed with fleeting anger "how can somebody be so oblivious, do they not realize that they are far outclassed; where is the self preservation?" he mentally snarled as his eyes glowed scarlet more than ever indicating his frustration.

Up in the stands Kakashi Hatake narrowed his eyes "when did Naruto become this powerful?" he questioned himself as he analysed the match for any indication to his answer until he felt a tugging on his sleeve indicating that Sakura was awake "s-sensei, what happened to Naruto?" she asked as Kakashi just ruffled her hair in a reassuring manner "I don't know Sakura, I don't know".

Looking on with cold eyes Naruto watched as the drills approached, almost lazily he stepped forward avoiding the drills and causing them to crash head on into each other "such a simpleton" he sighed after calming down, he then turned to the proctor "I believe that I win?" he stated casting dull eyes at the coughing man "Naruto Uzumaki is the winner of this match" the proctor announced as not even a whisper could be heard until a voice twisted with madness spoke up "mother wants your blood Uzumaki" the Uzumaki took a deep breath, as if to calm his roiling blood "and she may have it, that is if she can get it" turning away he appeared at the top of the steel stairs and leaned quietly against the wall, like a predator lying in wait for its prey.

As the matches passed he became increasingly bored, and was just about to nod off when the 3rd hokage spoke up "now that the amount of participants has decreased a random draw will decide your opponent and therefore when your match begins for the next stage" The participant were silent; listening intently to the legendary kage "now please come down and draw from this box" Said box was conveniently placed in the centre of the arena where the possible chuunins drew their slips of paper.

"1" called out Neji Hyuuga stoic as ever.

"2" Naruto muttered refraining from sighing, if it went anything like the last match Neji would spew shit about fate and destiny, oh kami how he didn't want to hear about that.

"3" Temari answered confidently.

"4" Shikamaru sighed "troublesome".

"5" Kakashi called as he took the slip for Sasuke's match

"6" Garra drawled.

Clearing his throat the 3rd spoke once more "you have exactly one month to train and prepare for your final stage to proceed to chuunin, I will see you all then" Turning his back to the crowd the 3rd hokage along with the proctors disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"well, won't this be interesting"

With the leaving of the proctors the sensei and chuunin to be left as well.

Holy, shit well this chapter was a bugger to get out, as you can probably tell by now I like to write and update when I feel like it and to be honest I know this chapter was way, WAY overdue.

My excuse for the late updates: Utter laziness and my exams, god how I wish I didn't with geography, Its taking over my life T_T.

Anyway on with the explanation.

As you can tell this chapter is more of a filler chapter than anything, and yes he has the Rinnengan reason being that I think that Kishimoto fucked up BIG time on this part, why would one 'chosen one' have the rinnengan and the other doesn't it just does not make sense.

Also another peeve of mine, I haven't watched Naruto in a LONG ass time, but I wanted to see the big ass fight between Naruto and Kyuubi so I had a look and found it, and what to I find KUSHINA, his mother magically appears, WTF he already met his father don't let him meet his mother, if he does do it so that she is revived by Kabuto's edo tensei and he has to fight her not have her in the seal, Jesus...

Oh yeah a thing that made me laugh though, as soon as he got Kyuubi's power you'd think that because the chakra is red that he would naturally gain red chakra, nononono somehow in the lump of crap that is Kishimoto's brain he turns gold, GOLD, like a Christmas tree makes you wonder what he was thinking hehe.

Oh one last thing. I had you going with that last cliff hanger didn't I...
