"So that's why she wanted to fight Taro and the others so badly", Naruto thought, Her pain…she misses her family.
He frowned as he spared a glance at the Red haired jonin standing behind Taro and Reika. "I guess…I can understand that loneliness".
The computer began cycling through names again, and Naruto's eyes widened at the next match.
Uzuki Reika of Hi vs Uzumaki Naruto of Konoha
"A clash that's been a long time in coming" said Hokage, Crow leans in and whispered in the Hokage ear , "is this wise this match could get out of control".
"I our line of work anything 'could get out of control' " said the Hokage, and ponder a little before speak "I trust Naruto will not take this too far".
"Its not Naruto I'm worried about its them" said Crow looking at the Uzumake.
"If they do tried something it will not be here in such a inclosed area or in side the this training area too many things could go wrong but keep a eye on them all the same" said the Hokage Crow returned to his spot.
"Well that's just fucking dandy" stated Naruto "guess its time to show –her- a taste of things to come if she or that clan dare try to ruin my life again,"
"This will not end the way Reika thinks it will end" thought Raven looking up at the screen, "but I just hope Naruto-kun doesn't take this to far".
Both twins shared a look, remembering what happen the day before,
"Hey" grunted Kabuto as Naruto had grabbed him by his shirt and hauled him, "You better not be lieing or I'll" snarled Naruto, "Naruto what going on" asked Maira putting a hand on his shoulder as Raven picked up one of the cards that had been dropped, "? I seen her before" stated Raven as her sister gets Naruto to let go of Kabuto's shirt, the mother was having a loud argument with the same red hair women,"I'm not lieing I have to go though a lot ofn trouble to get just the basic stats" stated Kabuto dusting him self off as Maria half drags Naruto away to some were" man for such a short guy he's stronger then he looks the other times I showed off my nincards I never get such a reaction from some one like that before.
"Get other hobby oh I'm taking this card too" said Raven holding up the card that cause a rection from Naruto.
"Hay those cards cost a lot of money" said Kabuto and tried to get back the card Raven had taken but she moved her hand out of reach Kabuto tried again but had to catch a blank stack of cards the same kind he is using, " wow this stack would cost me a 2 B rank's pay" said kabuto counting the sheets.
"It help's that my clan make's chakra in fused paper " Raven stated as she left to find where Maira had taken Naruto looking at the card before leaving, not seeing the dark look Kabuto was giving her or the smirk on his face.
After some prodding the twins got Naruto to open up and both twins heard with all the sadness anger and longing in Naruto all directed in to one statement.
"that is my so called mother" said Naruto looking at both twins "and she is Taro's Jounin leader" After Naruto asked both twins to help him if his temper got the better of him.
"what was that old Nara saying that trouble some come from all matter of thing people and places" muttered Raven.
"I think that saying after there wives throw them out of house for being unmotivated slugs" said Maria.
"Woman" muttered you know who.
Hinata stared at the screen, then looked over to the person she admired the most. She managed to hold back the gasp that threatened to escape her lips as she looked into the brilliant blue eyes that defined Naruto so much.
She recalled one of the few lessons that her mother, Hyuuga Rei, and the many scrolls she written before she succumbing to the blood illness that had taken hold of her after the birth of Hanabi.
Momma had said that no matter how well trained a shinobi was, they eyes would always tell the true story.
"Naruto-kun", she thought, as the blue eyes she had come to adore clouded over with…rage, and pain, "What…what did they do to you? Why does it hurt you so much?".
"His Family has no heart" said Raven looking at Hinata, as if picking up on her thoughts,
What?" asked Hinata but deep down she knows it was true just by look at Naruto's estrange family.
"Is sickens us to see some one like him, alone, and for the Roth being alone is our greatest fear" spoke Maira, Purple blue eyes look in to Violet white.
"He wants a Family" whispered Hinata, both Twins nodded.
Now Hinata under stands Naruto better "I will always be there for you in body or in spirit".
thinking back Hinata remembered the talk she had with the twins it was a revealing in more ways one would expect.
Hinata nerves were on there last legs as she was working up the guts to knock on a door normally this would happen when she tried to talk with naruto but this room wasn't Naruto, the her option to chose was taken out of her hands when the door open up,
"I thought we told you to k...oh? sorry I thought you were my teammate, your Hinata right?" said Raven seeing Hinata nod,
"I I was w wondering i i if I I I c c could t t talk" said Hinata poking her fingers making Raven thought it was cute habit, "would you like to come in".
"Yes" Hinata nearly shouted and Raven moved aside to aloud entry, there room was much like her on and spotted some thing that made her blush red, Maria clothing piled on a bed on top was under mesh many young female ninja's wear when there bodies begin to blossom.
"So what do you want to talk about " asked Raven seeing Hinata looked down at the floor before she could mustered her resolved the bathroom door opened, In a cloud of steam Maria wearing only her birthday suit and much like Hinata's body began to developed early seeing Maira's breasts sway wile she dries her hair, water dripping from her long well toned legs or from her chest to the small patch of hair between her legs.
-thump-
"Ah what happen?" asked Maira covering her self after hearing the noise.
"Just get dress" said Raven as she tries to wake's Hinata up after returning to the land of the aware Hinata starter's to talk not wanting to stop in-cased she gets cold feet even saying a few things on her mind on the sisters by the end end all 3 were blushing.
Hanata was shaken out of her thoughts as Naruto moved past her.
The blond genin started making his way down to the fighting area, even as his opponent started to chuckle.
"Well, what fortuitous circumstance is this?" the purple haired kunoichi called Reika laughed, "I'm so sorry, Taro-kun."
She turned her brown eyes to the dark haired Uzumaki. "I know you wanted to be the one to beat the outcast down, but I guess you'll just have to do with watching it happen."
Taro grunted. "Feel free, Reika," he replied, "I just want a good show. I'm sure we all do…" he turned to look at the woman standing behind him, "Neh, Kushina -sensei?".
Hinata turned to the Red haired woman, frowning at the lack of emotion on her face. Why would she…
"She lost her heart in a wall of ice" said Raven in a Sage like tone, "both my clan and your clan may seem cold but we're not are like her"
"So she is his Mother" whispered Hinata, "even Father cares for my health, as dose the clan main and branch houses" Hinata grips her coat, feeling cold.
"Yes but we wouldn't have the Naruto-kun we know today, I think he'll will change the world if he has to" replied Maira,
The Red haired beauty spoke only a few words, but they washed over the assembled genin like a frozen wave, the lack of emotion causing even the stoic Neji to raise an eyebrow.
"Win your match, Reika," she intoned, "Do not disappoint us."
Reika frowned "can she ever said good luck or do your best, hell no if she made a smile I think her face would melt", "Hai, Kushina -sensei," she replied, forming the hitsuji seal and -shunshuing- down into the arena.
"Man she's cold" muttered Maira,
Kakashi Imitsu and Asuma had turned to the red haired woman, their eyes hard as she returned their glare.
"Are you planning on berating me, Kakashi-kun,Imsuit-chan, Asuma-kun?" the Uzumaki matron asked, "I followed the wishes of the clan nothing more."
Uzumaki matron remembers what that same problems that line had caused memories to be remembered, no matter how hard she tired to suppress.
"He misses you Kushin-chan ,you stop holding him"
"The Clan obligations is taking up a lot of my time, your Great Aunt has step down and you have made the head of your Clan with alot of obligations, as the head of Roth,
"True but that's not the point Your running away I find time for the clan my children friends hell I see Naruto more then you, the little Gaki call me Obasan I don't know if I should be mad or, happy well more I'm happy then mad.
"Please don't come for tea any more Arella-sama"
"Kushina? I didn't mean"
"I have too much work, so I'll be moving back Uzumaki clan house
….
"Kushin what has gotten in…"why you hit me"
"Leave, Shadow bitch I don't care for you I won Minato heart, you lost I known you loved him as well you only became friends with me just to steal him away "
Shadow bitch just go fuck like a whore, maybe get some more Teme children…..
….
"You have gone over the line Uzumaki….. I was raped in the war when I was captured by Iwa Minato was the one who found me I own him my life and the lives of my girls I would never betray him by trying to steal him away from his wife "
"Its more like gave your self to them Eta"
"We are no long friends, our finale bond its broken Rei and Mikoto would be ashame to have made our Blood Sisters Pact to end the Feud between our 3 clans and yours "
….
….
….
"You rats How dare you here your clan kin there not dead but next time you will know why I'm know as the Mistress of the Void"
"Know this any Uzumaki Temes and Uzuki Lap dogs are enemies of the 5 families of the coven, Roth only see Uzumaki Naruto as friend and honour guest seeing how the rest of your clan acts better to save a healthy seed then the rest of the poisoned tree
"Fucking Whore Kushina, why are you leavening you flesh and blood Minato son,
"I followed the wishes of the clan. Nothing more."
…..
…
"That cold heated witch is just a shell and a mouth piece, for the Uzumaki"
Kushina walk though down memory line ended hearing Kakashi speak again.
Kakashi's voice was as cold as ice as he responded. "I think he'd be ashamed of you," the silver haired jounin replied, "He told me Obito's words were something to take to heart…I would have thought you, as his wife, would have honored his wishes above even the clan."
Asuma took a puff off the cigarette in his mouth. "I think I'm ashamed of you myself…sensei," he added, causing his own students to stare up at him in shock, "I'd always thought you were better than that."
"I agree with Asuma, Kushina sensei I never thought you aloud the fire in your heart to go out" said Imitsu truly sad at how far Kushina has fallen.
Kushina frowned, then turned to watch the events in the arena, closing herself off from the glares of her late husband's student, and her own former pupil's.
The match was about to begin.
Naruto stared at the purple haired girl before him, his mind focused solely on her as Hayate announced the match.
"Fifth match; Uzumaki Naruto of Konoha vs. Uzuki Reika of Hin," he muttered, coughing slightly, "HAJIME!"
Reika smirked as she back flipped away from the blond boy, putting some distance between herself and the scowling boy.
"You know," she said, "We've heard of your so called 'exploits' even in Hinokakujin, outcast." She frowned when Naruto showed no reaction to her words. "We even heard about that mission your team took to Nami no Kuni…C-rank to A-rank, and successfully completed to boot." She smirked. "Of course, given that your team had the famous Sharingan no Kakashi, and you have the last of the Uchiha…well, I can certainly see who did all the work."
Naruto frowned. "Are you gonna fight, or try and talk me to death?" he asked, "I don't care what insults you throw at me…after almost nine years, I'm numb to it and to correct you, they name the bridge the Great Naruto Bridge, not to bad for the next Hokage, soo what things are named after you,"
Reika frowned, before sliding into a strange taijutsu stance. Her hands were brought in front of her body, one fist closed and near her face, while the other was set like a claw, away from her chest. She turned slightly to the side, keeping her eyes on the blonde before her. "-Uzumaki kuran taijutsu-Hyogi!"
Her opponent frowned, before shifting into his own taijutsu stance…one that left the Uzuki girl gaping in surprise,"How the hell did he learn the clans fighting style, he never….?...he's shifting his stance"
He brought his hands together before him, raising them up to chin level, in the grappling stance turning his body slightly and widening his leg stance.
His blue eyes seemed to flash in defiance of the girl, and his face developed a strange smirk "its my own style, taken what I learn from Uzumaki clan taijutsu,Hyogi and Eigi styles with Roth clan Nightfist-taijutsu, Darkness, Crow, and Nightmare styles, thought I can't use shadow bending but Kage clones do help and I came up with a few ideas.
"So for the record its Phantom Tornado taijutsu- created by me Uzumaki Naruto the next Hokage, so are you ready….. here …I …come… Spiral Tornado Throw-" yelled Naruto.
Reika was shocked at the speed as her arm got grabbed and was being throwing around in spiral, "Impossible! "Was the only thought Reika could contemplate as she fly across floor.
"This…that stance!" Taro was growling up on the gangway. The other rookies glanced at him as he seethed in rage. "How…how dare he use that style! He has no right! He's even butchered it"
Kakashi chuckled. "Actually, since it was taught to him by your clan," he stated, causing the dark haired boy to scowl, "He has every right to use the Eigi ryu, and he is the able to think out side the box and even throw the whole box away."
"It's a Eigi ryu Stance with a Night fist Darkness style Grappled move" Asuma muttered he have seen how both clans fight "-Phantom Tornado taijutsu- eh, both styles had there pros and cons but to getter…."
Asuma spared a glance at Kushina noting that her eyes had changed. Before, they were just solid chips of ice when staring at the blonde boy she had abandoned. Now, however, there was emotion in those orbs…shock being the most prevalent of all.
"Such burning youth he made his own taijutsu" stated Gai bit his lip as he started crying and holding his shaking fist to his chest this was copied by Lee and Imitsu,
Reika snarled as she began to circle Naruto, her eyes instinctively seeking out his feet. "I've sparred against Taro-kun and Kanna-neesama", she thought, "I may not know the style, but I do know how to fight it! If I keep my eyes on his footwork, I can easily counter his moves…I can't read him what the hell is this shit leg stance"
"If you're not going to start, then I will!" Naruto shouted, his hands flying through a seal sequence, ending on the ryu seal. " Fuuton-Great Pressure,
Reika leapt to the side, barely avoiding the gust of wind, her hands flying through her own seal sequence, ending on tori. "Suiton-Large Water Bullet She spat forth a mid-sized sphere of water, forcing Naruto to back-flip away.
Reika rushed forward, grabbing one of Naruto's out-stretched arms and, with a pivot on her left foot, sent the orange clad genin hurling towards the western wall. She followed with another seal sequence, this one ending with ryu. "Fuuton-Drilling Air Bullet a burst of howling winds shot from her hands, impacting against the blond boy and further propelling him into the wall.
His impact was announced with a large boom, and a deep impression in the wall…
The Konoha Suna and Kusa all winched at the sound of flesh hitting, cold hard stone.
"Naruto!" Sakura cried out, as the rookies gasped at their friend's hard impact.
"Naruto-kun…" Hinata whimpered, her hands clasped together as if in prayer for her crush.
"Damn Dope" Sasuke muttered.
"That's nearly half the power of Fuuton-Great-Breakthrough, used by Orochimaru" stated Raven,
Kagegetsu, Maria winched after hearing that,
Kakashi, Gai, Kurenai, Imitsu and Asuma collectively winced at the force of the impact. Kurenai was the first to make a comment.
"First she used "–Fuuton-Drilling Air Bullet-,then switched easily to -Suiton-Large Water Bullet-," she muttered, "Both of those techniques require a good deal of control…yet she used them so quickly."
"Hi but she put a lot of strain of her Coil a fatal move if she was facing more then one opponent or her attacks failed, she'll have to fall back to taijutsu to aloud her body to recover " stated Imitsu,
Taro laughed. "And now you can see her real power," he muttered, causing the group to glare at him. "Reika is a prodigy of the Hyogi style of the Uzumaki ryu…but she knows a ninja can't function on taijutsu alone."
He ignored the glare sent his way by the boy with the overly-large eyebrows and horrendous hair cut with bad fashion sense.
"Reika has incredible control and stamina, but she doesn't believe in wasting chakra. Sure, she can use powerful techniques like Large Water Bullet, Vortex Cannon and others…but why use something like that when a properly applied Drilling Air Bullet will do the same job?" said Taro, "the outcast seems to be a lot stronger for Reika to do such a risky move, even for her"
Kakashi frowned beneath his mask. "So, she uses jutsu like Housenka, and Renkudan, hmmm?" he asked.
"It's what earned Reika her nickname in the clan, and in the capital city," the Uzumaki heir answered.
"…Reika no Dangan-(Reika of the Bullet)".
Reika panted as the dust settled from the force of Naruto's impact. She could almost 'feel' her chakra coils groaning in protest to her constant use of multiple elemental ninjutsu, that fast.
"Damn, I went overboard with that, she thought as the debris settled, beginning to reveal the cracks on the wall from her 'cousin's' collision, "Too think I used up so much chakra on the likes…"
"Hooo so are you going quit because your a little tired" said a voice from the dust cloud.
"NANI!" she screeched, as her thoughts were echoed by the people above.
The dust had finally settled…revealing not one, but five Naruto's standing there, a quickly fading plume of white smoke behind the center one.
That one wore the same cocksure grin that had made him famous among the Rookie Nine as a total and complete fool.
Now most of them were starting to wonder about that.
"Hmmm, clever," Kakashi muttered, his one visible eye curved into the upside down 'u' that signified him smiling, "Quick thinking on the fly…well, that's to be expected from the number one prankster in our village."
Sakura was a bit more vocal in her praise of the blond. "YEAH! GO NARUTO! THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT!".
Sasuke, standing next to her merely smirked, even if he was deeply impressed with his team-mate.
Ino was gaping in shock at the site, as were Chouji and Shikamaru. "What…but…how? He should be a pancake right now!" Ino was stuttering.
"Shikamaru, just how strong do you think Naruto's become since he learned that jutsu?" Chouji asked, munching on his chips at breakneck (or maybe break 'tooth') speed.
"Strong enough to be very mendosuke," Shikamaru replied, sighing as Ino screech"Who care how that happen go Naruto kick that bitches ass woot".
"Man, what a drag."
Kiba was laughing at the scene, while Shino kept his usual stoic façade. Kurenai was smirking, but more at her third charge than at the events below.
Hinata's face was bright red, as was par for the course when dealing with the blond loudmouth. Her fingers constantly pressed together, and she was smiling as the boy dusted himself off with the help of his copies. "Naruto-kun…ganbatte!" she whispered, wishing desperately to have the strength to be as loud as Sakura Ino or the Twins.
Raven claps as Kagegetsu, and Maria, Howled in approval, and almost cause Kagegetsu, to fall off the railing, that he happen to hang off of the combined might of both Twins and Hinata to pull him up,
Neji was intrigued, but hardly impressed, while Tenten and Lee cheered the blond on and their sensei and his sister crowed together and shouted about the 'Power of Youth'.
"I need coffee", he thought, "Coffee and aspirin. In large quantities." Thought Neji, he looked at his little cosine Hinata, who sported a blush as she watched Naruto, "Huh she likes Naruto ….. pity even if he's a outcast he is still a Uzumaki…, but if he becomes chunin, he can take his name off the Uzumaki roster, hmmm and I heard he is held in high regards by the Hokage-Sama and Arella-Sama, maybe Fate has smiled on Uzumaki Naruto".
The Suna genin stared at the fight with impassive expressions, even as the one called Gaara felt a…surge…of something that for once he couldn't understand.
"Mother what is this feeling".
"Its excitement that blonde boy is like us, he holds the lord of the fox's, in side him, he can be a powerful ally or foe we must plan carefully".
"Mother is please" muttered Garra, confused.
"NANI you mean that Mother doesn't want to -Sabaku -Desert Coffin-, someone" Kankurou ask in shock.
"I will do it to you just to stop with the dumb questions" growled Garra, making Kankurou back away.
"So what's Mother please about," asked Temari unlike the others, she can get close to Garra, and Mother, with out fear of death he even told there -father- not to use her to kill him, because he would kill him and every ninja in village.
"Him".
"The loud mouth blond Gaki".
"His name is Naruto".
"I can arrange something" said Baki knowing the attack on Konoha would most likely end the lives of much of Konoha ninjas, they may be weak one on one but Konoha ninja rarely fight alone.
Suna prefers to captured other Ninja and add them to there forces, As Seconded Rank ninja by using seal collars, to keep them in the village after a wile they adapt, over time Seconded Ranks even marry some Suna woman or man, and after a few years they become full members, it was far more civilized, if slower then the other ways to gain -secrets- from enemy nin, Suna ninja are solders not barbarians, man power, useful skills, jutsus, and bloodlines are resources, are never wasted in the harsh sands of Wind.
"Mother and I haven't decided yet" muttered Garra.
Baki nodded, he was order to collect a list of skilled nin to be captured, and rumours of the loud one holding the 9 tails had him on the top of the list, followed by many here, save the some of Uzumaki the woman and female branch member, are there the males were not save the blond with a tailed beast combined with his Uzumaki blood with his fathers blood as well.
The Kusa group looked very impressed, Jade and the glasses wearing, Jounin, were talking about Naruto,
"Liu Bei-Sama is right Naruto-san looks just like him" said Jade, she had a little cursh on the 4th Hokage.
"In deed, and he hold the 9 tails, the whisker marks are a clear sign, as his sense of humor is fox like" stated Sonsaku Goei, still smiling.
"So he likes Hakufu-chan and Ryuubi-chan a container of a being of power"
"Now is not the time to talk about these things" stated Goei dropping her smile, "the wrong people may have over hear us" said Goai as she eyed the pale Oto Jounin during the 1 and 2 part of the exam the Oto Jounin wasn't around but now seeing the Jounin now was setting off waring bells but Goai just couldn't place a finger on it.
"Sorry- Goei-sama".
Nearby-
Orochimaru, over heard every thing,"Kukukukuku, I would never have thought the Lady Wu-Sonsaku Goei would be here, I have to keep out of her way or I maybe found out but worth the risk in confirming that Kusa has 2 Jinchuuriki, I know that there been no Lesser bijuu or Greater bijuu or one of the 9 tailed lords sited in or near Kusa… ho not a bijuu Kukukukukuku, A Jinchuuriki holding a Greater Dragon or a Dragon King, this may prove very useful, if manipulated in the right way, my way, kukukuku, a battle between a Bijuu Jinchuuriki and a Dragon Jinchuuriki would be a event for the history books kukukukuku".
Taro was gaping, his face giving him a comical expression that the other Jounin sensei's found hilarious.
Kushina was staring at the scene in both shock…and something else she couldn't explain. So, the rumours were true, she thought, He has learned the Kage Bunshin…and he uses it well, Aerlla had done the same but not the amount rumoured to have been done by -him- . She let her eyes seek out the blonds face, and instinctively she focused on his eyes.
"Crystal blue…just like my".
She quashed such thoughts as quickly as they began to surface. She had chosen to follow the clan, and that was what she would do.
And the ice that had encased her heart grew just a touch more…wet?.
Naruto was going to mess with Reika head a little, and get a laugh out of this,
"I am legion for I am many"spoke Naruto and his clones as one, earning a round of laughter, at Reika comical expression,
Naruto grinned at Reika's shock. "Man, you gotta love Kage Bunshin no jutsu," he called over to her, shaking her from her stupor,
"Makes for a great impact cushion." He rolled his aching shoulders.
"Still hurt like a bitch though, I got to give you that. You are pretty good, but you use too much Chakra and bit jumping the gunesh but not bad".
Reika scowled. "I don't need praise, or Tips from an outcast like you!" she spat, causing the blond to narrow his eyes.
"That's it no more playing around" thought Naruto.
"I wasn't praising you," he replied, settling back into the first stance of the Eigi style, "I was just stating a fact. Still, I was trying to be nice, out of respect for Yuugao-neechan. If you don't want that…"
"I DON'T!" Reika shouted, rushing towards him with a surge of chakra to her legs, enhancing her speed.
"-Sigh- You asked for it –Kage Maelstrom, Ninjas of the Round-" shouted Naruto doing the cross seal, the explosions of ninja smoke hidden him, when the outline of Naruto appeared, giving Reika a target
"I will not let this fool….. this….. freak ….this this Outcast beat me" thought Reika in anger as she leapt up, trying to come down on him with a vicious axe kick…
…only to be intercepted in mid-air with a powerful knee to her stomach.
"those clone's he made more of then in the smoke".
She howled as the air was forced from her body, stars filling her vision as the blond continued his assault with a mid-air twist and a powerful kick that caught her chin. The blow sent her flying backwards, where two of his clones were waiting. She focused through the pain, twisting to land on her feet…only to have them taken out from under her as one clone dropped into a sweep while the other performed a roundhouse kick that caught her across her chest. "UUAURGHH!" she cried out as she hit the ground.
"Now to show –her- and Reika, a portion of my power" thought Naruto, "Like that Reika, it's little something I mix to getter, now here something you may know and what's going to happen next.
Naruto dispelled his clones, then surged his chakra so he could leap up. He flipped over, so his feet could anchor to the ceiling.
He took his stance, and waited for the next go round.
Kakashi nodded as he watched the blond moves. "Rough, unrefined, and with a lot of wasted motion," he said, causing the rookies to stare at him, "As expected since he never received proper training in the Eigi branch of the Uzumaki Ryu. Because of that He created his own variation of it to compensate, using Roth Night Fist, with Kage Bunshin no jutsu."
Gai nodded, remembering a time he had sparred against a member of the Uzumaki main house. "Indeed," he muttered, "You saw how the girl was trying to focus on Naruto's feet…she was hoping to spot the foot work the Eigi style is famed for."
"Foot work?" Kiba asked, "What's that about?"
"It is nothing you need concern yourself with, Inuzuka-san," the red haired lady answered before the other Jounin could explain; "It is a clan secret."
"How the hell did foot work became a clan secret" asked Kiba.
"Well just think Kiba -kuns Phantom Style and Eigi style, have much the same stances, but move in different ways, Reika didn't under stand the that he is using different stances in ways she not familiar with" said Imitsu, getting ice looks from Kushina ,"what I'm only gave my view of things to aid in the name of the Blooming Flames of youth and many fighting style's share foot work".
Kushina looked back to the fight every one thought the room felt a bit colder now "he never learn that move he was unable to master the most basic move".
"Mendosuke," Shikamaru muttered summing up the thoughts of every one.
"maybe in the past but things change" stated Imitsu.
Back to the area-
Naruto frowned as he focused his chakra into his foot, his hips and legs tensing for the move he was about to attempt.
"If I get this wrong, my leg'll be shattered for sure, he thought, But…I NEED to do this! I have to show them!"
Down on the floor Reika was struggling to stand. Her breath was ragged, and her vision was blurry from the heavy blows and lack of oxygen. Still, to her credit, she fought through the pain, and turned her eyes up to spy the boy standing on the ceiling above.
When she saw his stance, she froze. "No…no way…" she whispered, "That stance!"
In the balconies above, Taro and Kushina were also shocked, though the red head hid it far better. "There's no way!" Taro cried, "I didn't even learn that till I was 10...and I've received instruction from the best!"
"How dose he know –Sword-"thought Kushina, but her Koi did the very same thing copied and made his own version of –Sword-.
"He going to try that move?" said Imitsu haveing seen that stance in the past.
Kakashi and Asuma were both frowning at Naruto's position, while Kurenai was confused. "Asuma…what's going on?" she asked, "What are they so concerned about?"
"That stance signifies one of the Uzumaki Ryu's special techniques, or his style fighting version of it" Asuma explained, taking a puff from his cigarette, before turning to the genin, "Watch closely, all of you…this is something you'd regret missing."
Naruto ignored the comments, as he crouched, then launched himself at the girl below him, crying out as he did so. For a moment, it seemed as if chakra was flickering about his legs, like flame, as he dropped towards his target.
"Here's my version of –Sword-…. -Tornado burst kick-"yelled Naruto.
Reika acted on pure instinct as she twisted to the side, trying to avoid the almost sub-sonic blow. She was mostly successful, as the extended leg of her opponent did miss her body…
…her pants, on the other hand, were not so fortunate.
The material shredded from its brief contact with the descending appendage, and the rest was torn asunder from the air pressure change, even as she was launched away from the force of the impact. She spun through the air, and landed hard on her side, exposing her bright red thong, shapely legs, and a curious blue spiral tattoo on her left cheek.
Many Male Genin, all flew back from the sudden explosive nosebleeds caused by this event,
"Take your top off" yelled Saji, waving a 20 and in turned got whacked by the female Kusa Jounin weapons blunted ends,
"Hay Sweet cheeks not so high and Bitchy now" Ryofu yelled, but Jade smacked her up side head.
"You two are unbelivable at times" said Jade.
Shiryuu, raised a eyebrow as dose her drinking partner, the same one who wanted to shut up Reika,
"Well that got to shut that Uzuki up and I thought Hakufu was loud" spoke the black haired kunoichi girl,
"Hmm" replied Shiryuu".
While the remaining boys save Taro merely turned away, to avoid the wrath of their kunoichi team-mates.
Taro was glowering. "She's embarrassing us," he growled.
When the dust cleared this time, it was clear that Naruto was going to be limping for a while. He was favouring his left leg, "Note to self train to use -Tornado burst kick-better, broken legs are not fun".
He made his way to the prone girl. He stared for a few moments, as she forced herself back to her feet.
"Give up," he said, forcing her to gape in surprise, "You can't beat me, and I don't want to hurt you. Besides, your clothes may not survive another round."
Reika finally noticed her…wardrobe malfunction, and glowered at the blond. "What, you don't want to embarrass me any more?" she growled, "You embarrass the clan every day you live!"
Naruto's eyes widened at that, and take a red tone even as he growled.
"Damn she just had to say that" cried out Maira, "he's going to kill her or maim her at lease,
"Call off the match…" Demanded Raven as she grabs Kushina sleeve, but was throw back by Kushina,
Next Kushina, stare down at Raven "Roth tell your mother and that clan of yours stay out of Uzumaki affairs" said Kushina, "she and her sister look just like her, pity there both worthless Eta"
"He not going to be a Uzumaki anymore when he make chunin, you cold hearted bitch he'll be taking his fathers name, now if you don't want a corpse, call off the match," said Raven as her sister help her up and glares at Kushina.
Kushina and Taro eyes widen at that statement Kushina who wanted to slap both Twins for daring to think they can order her around, but Imitsu, got in front of her,
"And both have her guts as well" thought Kushina "Maybe him leaving the clan is for the best, after the clan regains our stolen propaty and make both Roth and Hyuuga pay for there sin agist Uzumaki".
"Damn it if the outcast declare, his fathers name the whole clan is fucked if his father relatives hear about it, the plan will go ahead even if I failed the seals on Kushina will be our last chance to gain -its- power" thought Taro the Uzuki and much of the lower ranked Uzumaki were in the dark adout the ture plan, "To bad Kushina has to died for her part, sooner then planned, I haven't learned all her skills yet".
In the Arena-
"What, the matter that'…." Reika started but Naruto didn't let her finish,
He shot forward, burying his right foot in her stomach again, forcing her to cough up some blood this time. He followed through with a twisting spin kick that caught her in the chest, and hurled her towards the eastern wall.
She cried out as she impacted hard against it, slumping down as her body gave out to the pain. Her eyes, tearing up from the agony, widened as the orange clad boy stalked towards her.
"Stay way" She cried, orange clad boy stalked came closer, a Kunai, in his hand.
"I'm sick of you, your clan your I'm Kami shit, time to learn stay the fuck out of my life, my village ,and most of all stay a way from my friends and love ones," said Naruto taking on a evil smile.
Gaara had the same evil smile.
Yuugao wanted to interfere but Crow put his hand on her shoulder, "look" and Yuugao saw what was going to happen.
"I knew she would show her self soon" muttered the Hokage.
"I gave you a way out because of Yuugao-neechan but you wasted all of my good will so your going to first one know how much pain I have gone thought, I'll make sure the eyes stay intact so you can seen your mangled body in a mirror".
She whimpered, and rolls in to a ball to make a smaller target and closed her eyes, cringing as a breath of wind rushed over her.
For several long moments, it seemed like nothing was going to happen, so she risked a peak, opening her eyes. She was shocked at what she saw.
A new figure was standing between her and the outcast, acting almost like a shield between her and him. She recognized the orange hair, and the familiar dark blue outfit, and she almost sobbed in relief, to Naruto' s left and right both Twins had there hands on his shoulders, they appear after the kunoichi came to Reika defence.
"What are you doing here" said Naruto.
Naruto's eyes were blood red and just for a second, they became silted, as he stared at the new kunoichi before him. His fists tightened so much that the nails dug into his palms, drawing a thin trickle of blood.
"Don't lose your self to the rage you know day this would come Naruto-kun" whispered Raven, as she pries the Kauni away" you won there's on need to harm her any more shes not worth it".
Maira muttered chants ,at the same time did a half tiger hand seal for a seal Naruto had inked, to help in claiming him down, having prolong contact, with them wasn't helping his mood.
"That's enough, Otouto," the girl said, "Stop you proved your point you don't have to break her, in sprit and body".
Blue eyes meets Red eyes stared at each other before Naruto let out a deep huff his eyes were changing back to blue, as he stared back at the Woman.
"Otouto?" the genin in the stands all gasped,
"Uzumaki…Kanna Neesan," Naruto whispered, his voice coarse and heavy with emotion. His glare didn't let up as he stared at the taller girl. "I guess I shouldn't be surprised, if she here you not to far behind like rats find one find the whole rotten family."
"It's…been a long time," she muttered, trying to get a feel for what the obviously angry boy would do.
Naruto shrugged. "I wouldn't know," he replied, "I've lived without a family for most of my life, so I don't really have a comparison."
Kanna flinched, "That hurts then any blow I taken and more so".
That hurt the girls a little but they would help him.
He turned to Hayate. "Hayate-sempai…this counts as interference, she step in first the girls came after, right?"
The sickly Jounin nodded. "Uzuki Reika is cough cough disqualified," he muttered, "Shousha, cough Uzumaki Naruto."
Naruto nodded, and then unzipped his jacket before tossing it to the half naked girl behind Kanna. Both girls stared at him in shock, and he shrugged.
"I like looking at girls just like any other guy," he explained,"But only if the girl wants me to look at her. I ruined her pants, so I'll make up for it." he looked at Reika, who was staring at him in shock with a little…and a small part of gratitude.
"Go ahead and keep the jacket. I'm sure I can find another, like ever thing else I eared " he walks away as Maira help helped him walk a bit.
Raven stayed and kneel down to Reika, "Welcome to the real world if Naruto, hadn't held back at the start your blood would pant the floors" she got back up as Reika, eyes watered,
Raven glared at Kanna, even if Raven was the shortest, her gaze would have towered over Kanna,
"You have lot of nerve those 3 and that woman is painful for him, but now you, came back why can't your clan leave and stay gone, you all sicken me I hope we never meet again" stated Raven.
With that, she walked back up the stairs.
"I guess I had that coming too" thought Kanna.
Kanna watched her go, before helping the shocked Reika to her feet, and leading her from the arena, with one thought going though Reika mind.
"He would have killed me"
Computer began to cycle names once more-
"Well at least Reika wasn't a corpse" muttered Heero behind his mask, but smiled seeing Raven-Sama tell Kanna, to Fuck off and leave,
Anko smiled for that Uzuki, got beat, it may save her life in the long run.
Sarutobi made a motion with his hand, signalling Anko to pause the selection process for the next round. The screen shut down, and the elderly kage took a puff on his pipe.
"I think we could all do with a short break," he announced to the confused participants, "The next round will commence in twenty minutes. Use this short break well." He turned and walked out a side door, Anko Heero and Hayate following behind him.
Naruto winced as his leg gave a spasm, reminding him of the damage he had just inflicted upon himself when he botched the -Tornado burst kick-the modified–Sword-. He pulled up the leg of his track suit, Maria hissed at what she saw, the swelling around his ankle, as well as the ugly looking bruise that was starting to form.
"Damn Naruto I'll find some ice and get a med nin, I'll think some bones are broke to" said Maria she as she touched, the blacken blue bruise.
Kakashi noticed the site, and frowned. "Hmmm, it seems that even the recuperative powers of the Kyuubi have limits", he thought, "Still, if it were any other genin, I'm certain that his leg would have shattered completely from that move thought Sensei did heal fast as well".
Standing off to the side and watching as well, Kushina also frowned as she watched her 'son' is treated by Arella's child who gingerly rub his wounded leg.
While a small part of her was concerned over how the injury was affecting the boy, the part of her that had followed the clan for so long, the part that left him behind, was more concerned with how he had learned a move -on his own no less- that most main house members couldn't learn without extensive help with the Sword, added he merge some Roth moves to make copy version of –Sword- but still,
"Yuugao would not have been able to teach him that, she thought, She would not have been privy to the Eigi techniques as an Uzuki.
Ebisu said that he never interacted with the boy until earlier this year…where did you learn that move….. Arella, she seen all Eigi techniques, in the many battles, Arella and myself had over the years, knowing her she had them commented to memory and copied, but with out the extensive notes along with the moves combined….. so that's how all the blanks were filled in he use the Roth NightFist 3Stlyes Darkness, Crow, and Nightmare"
She frowned again, as she saw the small Hyuuga girl walk up to him, holding a small container in her hand.
"What is this"?
Infirmary-
Kenosuke stared at the wall of the infirmary, his mind replaying his last match over and over again.
That Kusa-nin was right, he thought, as he recalled his own words towards the end, I was foolish…I will not advance with this exam.
The door room opened, and his eyes widened as Kanna led Reika into the room, the latter wearing the outcast's hideous orange jacket around her waste. The garment fell to just above her knees, leaving the rest of her legs bare.
"What happened?" he asked, his voice weakened from the blood lost and his new hole in his shoulder along with 4 cracked rips the Kusa-nin had provided.
"I…I fought him," Reika whispered, even as Kanna sat her down in a chair, "He…I…it was…"
"Reika-chan lost, Kenosuke-kun," Kanna interrupted, stopping the shaken girl's stuttering, "My…brother…will advance to the finals."
Kenosuke could hardly believe his ears. "Reika-san…lost?" he parroted, "But…how? How could the outcast defeat her? Not even Taro-san can match Reika in taijutsu!"
The blue haired girl merely shook her head. "He's been practicing since we left him here," she replied, "He performed -Eigi Ryu- Sword- but it was call -Tornado burst kick-."
Kenosuke actually gaped at that. "How…could Ebisu-san have…"
"No," Kanna interrupted, "Ebisu was never able to master Sword, let alone Rapier or even Boomerang. No, Naruto…given the roughness of his technique and foot work, it's safe to say that he came up with the technique himself with aid from the Roth clans own fighting styles."
Reika was mumbling something, causing the two to stare at her. "Holding…he could…why?" she kept muttering.
"What's wrong with her?" the sword prodigy asked.
Kanna sighed, her blue eyes seeming to darken in thought. "I think she realizes and been told …that my brother was holding back," she replied. At the white haired boy's look, she clarified,
"You've heard the reports of him out-witting ANBU and elite jounins before. If he can do that, even when he's only doing it as part of a joke, what do you think he can do when he's serious?"
The kenjutsu specialist nodded, bowing his head. "He…could have killed her."
"Raven said my blood would have painted the floors if he was serious, he beat me and he was still holding back until" spoke Reika with a hollow look,
"What" asked Kenosuke, the dry lump in his throat made it hard to swallow,
"I said You embarrass the clan every day you live! then he got serious, this is not going to work"
Kanna massaged her forehead, as Kenosuke was in deep thought when a fresh round of Sobbing, it heard.
The pair turned to look at the shaken girl, who now had two tracks of tears running down her cheeks.
"Stay with her, Kenosuke," the blue haired chuunin ordered, "I'll head back to the room and get her a new pair of pants." With that, she stepped out.
Kenosuke frowned as he watched his 'cousin's' tears flow. What…what does this mean for us now? he wondered.
Reika's tears continued to fall, and spoke ain a dead tone, "We are' all worm-food and baby makers" repeating, what the Oto girl said.
"I need to rethink my role in the clan," thought Kenosuke
Back to the Arena-
"Go on Hinata-chan" whispered Kurenai.
"Ano…Naruto-kun?" the blue haired Hyuuga heiress spoke, causing the blond and caused both Twins to look up then look at each other,"Score Hinata-chan, hadn't faltered yet".
"Hey, Hinata," he grunted, wincing at the spike of pain caused by his sudden shift, " don't move baka tile after I finish wraping" muttered Raven seeing she have to start over,
"What's up?"
"Ano…I-I want you…to have this!" she mumbled in a rush, thrusting the small brown container towards the kneeling boy.
"Huh?" he muttered intelligently, "What's that, Hinata?"
"It's a medicinal cream," Kurenai replied, "Hinata's very talented at making her own medicines, Naruto. More than once her salves have really helped our team out."
"Really?" he replied, picking up the container tentatively, "Its that good huh?"
"Hell yeah it is, ya dope," Kiba replied, "Me and Akamaru get some nasty cuts and scrapes all the time when training…Hinata's stuff is like a dream."
Maira jaw still aches, even after being heal but the nerves were still tender "no wonder I'll saw you fuzz heads fang over fang though thorn bushes and one time though a tree, if that help heal you two I might have a try of this wonder cream"
"Kurenai-sensei…K-Kiba-kun…Maira-chan" the pale eyed girl mumbled, embarrassed by the high praise.
"Wow!" Naruto muttered, opening the lid. He took a brief sniff of the cream contained inside. "Cool, it smells like mint! I like mint!"
If it were possible, Hinata would have blushed even harder.
After all, mint was her favourite type of body wash as well…"Naruto thinks mint is Yummy maybe I'll be Yummy and then all 4 of us use it we would be Yummy"
Naruto applied the cool medicine to his aching ankle, hissing a little at the sudden cold, but sighing happily as it started to sooth the bruised tissues and relieve the pain. Sakura, Hinata, and the other genin watched as the swelling began to visibly go down, and the 6 Konoha jounin sensei's also watched (with more concern in Kushina's case than she would be willing to admit).
"WOW!" Naruto shouted, "This stuff is awesome! It works so fast!" He looked at the blushing Hyuuga girl
"Hinata, you're amazing! this stuff rocks!" The poor girl almost swooned at the compliment, even as the other genin watched in surprise at how fast Naruto's injury seemed to heal.
"Damn its healing right before our eyes" said Ryofu she thought only grandpa healed that.
"Give me that my jaw been aching for 2 and half days" said Maira, and grabs the container, and rubs it coldness in,"Oh sweet Kami relief at last".
Raven takes the jar from Maira and used a little on the back of her neck," Wow it dose work fast I think you found your calling" stated Raven handing the jar back to Naruto.
"Its not that great" said Hinata not used to so much praise.
The Jounin watched with a smirk or thinking.
"Hmm ku ku ku oh well not like I tried to hide my handly work" thought Orochimaru, if Aerlla hadn't fix the brats seal he would have disappointed in Aerlla that she had lost her touch, I wonder if my comrade would of in joyed the chaos that would happen in a month's time.
"It's too bad Hinata can't really take all the credit for Naruto's leg", Kakashi thought, as Naruto offered some of the cream to Sakura, Sasuke, and the others while extolling Hinata's virtues as an apothecary, Even a Med nin from the Kusa teams asked if he would buy the formula, off of her".
"While her cream certainly does help, it's mostly the influence of the Kyuubi… Though, come to think of it, Minato -sensei also healed pretty fast too"…
The silver haired man's thoughts were interrupted when the Hokage re-entered the arena, Anko Heero and Hayate at his heels. The sickly Jounin made a motion towards the screen, and the next round was decided.
A few miles from Konoha
A blood red hair woman stands on top of a tree with several orbs floated near her, "Well Konoha we meet once more" spoke the woman as she jumped from the tree with her orbs fallowing her to the ground below.
"I hope you hadn't gotten weak my Master was so hoping to test his might ageist you best, if you hadn't then even you so called will of fire will save you from his wrath",stated the woman to her self as several shapes ran behind her it was hard to tell who or what they were as they moved thought the trees.
Next The Chuunin prelims part 4 the on going battles.
