Thanks to everyone who's read this far! I hope you guys liked my cliffhanger at the end of the last chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto... Satisfied? Masashi Kishimoto does.

"The next match is... Zaloria Nod vs Naruto Uzumaki!" Announced Hayate. "So... I get to fight that kid who's got all that energy, eh? This'll be fun!" Zaloria said, excited as could be.

As Zaloria was about to head down to the arena, Jager called out to her,"Zaloria!" "Hm? What is it Jager?" "Don't fight him, just give up." Zaloria nearly fell over,"What?! Why the hell...?!" Jager glanced down,"You would undoubtedly win... however..." "However...?" "We don't want our entire team making it to the finals, it may arouse suspicion. And, since Trazor and I are stronger than you, I decided that we need to let you lose. Just surrender, and make it look like you're just nervous..." Glancing over to his side annoyed, Jager continued,"Otherwise... It'll arouse more suspicions than all of us winning." "Right..." Zaloria looked disappointed, but otherwise obeyed Jager's orders.

Naruto was already down on the arena floor, anxious for his fight to begin. "I give... I just, he looks too strong for me and... I was hoping to fight someone weaker, so I give." Said Zaloria in a disturbed, nervous voice. "WHAT?! YOU MEAN I DON'T GET TO FIGHT?!" Naruto was obviously angry, but he was glad that he at least would make it to the finals. "(cough) Fine then (cough) the winner is (cough) Naruto Uzumaki!" Announced Hayate.

The computer began deciding the next fight... Neji Hyuuga vs Trazor Nod. "(cough) Match number eight, Neji Hyuuga vs... Trazor Nod!" This promised to be an entertaining fight. Both Neji and Trazor took the floor.

"You begin when I say, 'begin.' Is that understood?" "Yeah." Trazor said, excited. "Yes." Neji said in his classic 'I-am-better-than-you' voice. "Then (cough)... BEGIN!"

Trazor leapt back, and simultaneously, Neji charged, activating his Byakugan and gathering chakra into his palms. Trazor's Go-Ruden Metsuki was obviously unnerving to Neji, as it appeared to be a golden Sharingan. He was, however, mostly unaffected by it. "Barrage of Gentle Fists!" He launched forward his attack.

(Neji's POV)

His enemy, Trazor, had just leapt back, while Neji was charging, readying to finish this fight quickly. He approached, and launched his attack, "Barrage of Gentle Fists!" Neji yelled as the attacks were about to impact. When his palm was less than an inch away from Trazor's skin, something began happening with Trazor's chakra that was terrifying. A large amount of chakra began gathering around the area his palm would impact, then, it was forcefully shoved out through his skin. Being able to launch chakra out of any area of your body other than your hands or feet took an incredible amount of concentration, and was difficult in calm situations, save being just about to be hit.

'Still, as it is, it won't really do much good, other than slightly slow my attack...' Neji's thoughts were cut off as he saw the chakra sharpening into millions of microscopic points. Neji knew he could pull back his hand, since it was a half an inch away from the skin, so he poured in as much chakra as he could in that little amount of time in order to save his hand from being blown to bits. There was a small explosion as the two chakras hit, one in mass and the other, while much smaller, probably only about a thousandth as much as Neji's, was far more expertly shaped in a way meant for chakra impacts. 'This guy is insanely good.' Thought Neji as his entire arm recoiled hard enough to send him flying across the room.

(End: Neji's POV)

Trazor stood grinning, knowing that this Hyuuga now knew how his defense worked, and would never be able to find a way through. Not only that, if he tried doing something like that to wear out Trazor, he would run out of chakra much faster, as he had used a thousand times as much chakra as Trazor to keep his hand intact.

Neji was flung back into the wall of the arena, then bounced off, blood being coughed out of his mouth from the force of the impact. Neji was panting, having used so much chakra in that last, and yet first attack. "Give it up Neji! You have no way of defeating me!" The audience, including the Hokage, were all stunned at what had happened. Neji had used a Gentle Fist that looked like it was on steroids, and all it did was send him, instead of his opponent, flying back into the fall. Trazor seemed however completely unharmed.

"You're right, Trazor Nod! I don't seem to have a (cough)..." blood spewed out of Neji's mouth, he had taken more damage than he had thought. He forced himself to continue, "a chance at winning... (cough) I give up..." At that, Neji collapsed onto the ground, unconscious, with extreme bodily damages. Several Medic Nins came in and brought him out of the room on a stretcher. "Winner...! (cough) Trazor Nod!"

The ninth fight was epic, in a battle between Gaara and Lee, while Gaara in the end won the fight, Lee still did far better than anyone had ever expected. The tenth fight was quite interesting. Just as Jager had suspected, Dosu was much weaker without his weapon. Choji made quick work of him, using a goofy looking justu he seemed to use when he was called fat. However, it simply made his look even fatter.

After the tenth fight was finished, the Hokage came down and congratulated the remaining Shinobi. They were all told to pick from a container, which would decide who they were to fight. The first fight was Naruto Uzumaki vs Trazor Nod. The second one was Sasuke Uchiha vs Gaara. The Third was Jager Nod vs Kankuro. Fourth was Shikamaru vs Temari. The fifth match was the winner of the fourth match vs Choji.

Thanks everyone for reading. Please comment, positive reviews and constructive criticism would be appreciated! By the way, sorry about the shortness of my chapters!!!
