The Wrong Ninja at the Wrong Time

by BellaBlatevi

What if Sasuke had never gotten the curse mark?What if Sakura had a pure moment of genious that saved him from that fate?I decided to change things around so it had a different ending because I wanted to see how he would turn out if that hadn't happened. It's only rated M now because of chapter 18, other than that it is level K-T

7. Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Chunin Preliminary Matches – Part 5

"Kankuro and Misumi Tsurugu, come down to start the next match," said Hayate.

The next two opponents came down to the middle. The guy with a mummy on his back and face make up was the guy they called Kankuro and the other guy who had on a mask and wire-rimmed glasses was Misumi.

"I suggest you forfeit so that they don't have to take away a dead body back to your village," said Misumi.

Kankuro just laughed and took the mummy off of his back and steadied on the ground while holding it by some kind of fur, and then he said,

"You know I was about to say the same thing except I can't promise that you won't get hurt, even after you forfeit."

Hayate looked at both of them and said, "Begin!"

Misumi ran to Kankuro with a kunai in his hand but Kankuro deflected it, and Misumi grabbed Kankuro's arm and jumped behind him and said,

"You should give up because if you don't your gonna die."

Kankuro looked up at him and said,

"Why would I give up when your not doing—"

Kankuro cut off when Misumi's arms started stretching and spreading around his body until both of his hands were positioned in the perfect place to snap his neck.

"Now if I were you, I would give up or else I'm gonna snap your neck," said Misumi.

"No way, why don't you go right ahead I dare you—"

Misumi snapped Kankuro's neck and Kankuro fell limp In his arms. Misumi checked to make sure he was dead and said,

"I told him he would die, the little idi—What the heck?"

Kankuro's head turned a full 180 degrees to reveal a wooden face, and the mummy's cloth fell to the ground as another Kankuro jumped out and said,

"I told you I wouldn't die, you see I'm a puppetmaster and now you're dead."

Misumi's eyes widened and he shouted,

"I give up! I give up!"

Kankuro laughed and said, "Too late!"
Kankuro's puppet had began to twist Misumi's neck but Hayate stepped in and said,

"Enough! He said he gives up now release him."

Kankuro released Misumi grudgingly and walked away to Gaara and Temari. Misumi fell to the ground unconscious and Hayate called for medics immediately. One of the medics checked his pulse and said to Hayate,

"His vital signs are weak but he'll live. His neck is severely injured and he would've died if you hadn't stepped in Hayate. He'll be unconscious for awhile."

The medic turned around to another medic and said, "Hurry up! We need to take him to intense care treatment!"

The medics took him quickly away on a stretcher and Hayate looked at Kankuro questioningly and thought "Did he really mean to kill him?"

Kankuro glared at Hayate and said to Temari, "These fools are too worried about losing some lame Genin that has even lamer jutsu. It pisses me off that they interrupted the match, I would've liked to snap that guys neck."

Temari looked at him and said, "Calm down, you'll get your chance during the real rounds just wait until then and stick to the plan Kankuro. Don't get hot-headed over that lame excuse for a shinobi."

They all stopped talking and paid attention to the panel screen that was choosing the next opponents. Then someone shouted out of nowhere,

"YEAH! It's finally my turn!"

Everyone looked at a leaf ninja with spiky blond hair, a goofy grin, and an orange jacket.

"Naruto Uzumaki and Kiba Inuzuka please come downstairs, you are the opponents of the next match," said Hayate.

Kiba laughed and said to his dog Akamaru,

"I think we just won the lottery boy."

Kiba walked past his teammates and before he left a girl with short cut hair said, "Good luck Kiba."

While still walking he turned his head and said,

"Don't worry about me Hinata I'll be fine, it's Naruto you should be worrying about."

Naruto started walking down and Sakura said, "Good luck Naruto, don't lose to Kiba. I want us all to go to the final matches."

Naruto grinned and said, "Sure thing Sakura. Don't worry I won't lose."

Sasuke turned to Naruto and said, "Make sure you don't because out of all the people here I want to fight you the most."

Naruto paused at this and stared at Sasuke with wide eyes and nodded and Sasuke grinned and said,

"Now go and beat Kiba Naruto don't let us down."

Naruto and Kiba met down by Hayate and Hayate said,

"You may begin."

Naruto grinned at Kiba and said,

"Get ready to lose Kiba because guess what, I'm the top ninja around here."

Kiba growled and retaliated by saying,

"Shut up you loser! You think you're the top ninja? Yeah right, you couldn't even make a proper transformation while at the academy. All you said was that you would be Hokage someday, fat chance."

Then Naruto growled and Kiba grabbed Akamaru off the top of his head and put him on the ground and said,

"You ready to fight this wimp Akamaru?"

Akamaru barked in agreement and Naruto got ready to start but was taken by surprise when Kiba shouted, "Ultimate Taijutsu! Tunneling Fang!" and Kiba became a moving violent cyclone that aimed itself at Naruto. Naruto was hit right in the gut and knocked back against the wall and he fell to the ground face down.

"Ha a piece of cake. Ok Proctor you can call the match he won't be waking up for a couple days."

Back in the balconies, all of the other rookie Genin had surprised looks on their faces and Sakura shouted,

"On your feet Naruto! Don't let Kiba make yourself seem disgraceful, show him he's wrong about you!"

All was quiet and Sasuke said, "Get up you loser, show's over kick this guy's butt."

Naruto laughed and got up saying to Sasuke,

"Sorry I was hoping he'd come up to me so I could attack him guess it didn't work."

Naruto had blood running down the side of his mouth and when he looked at Kiba, Kiba got extremely angry and said, "Let's go Akamaru! Man Beast Clone! Beast Mimicry, Fang over fang!" Akamaru was covered in smoke and in his place was another Kiba while Kiba's appearance had appeared more beast-like.

They jumped into the air and attacked Naruto like Kiba had before except now from both sides and Naruto couldn't counterattack because every time he tried they threw smoke bombs at him and attacked him in the smoke. Finally Naruto got an idea and when they attacked next they stopped and when the smoke cleared there were 3 Kibas. THEN Kiba punched the Kiba to his left and said,

"Nice try but I can smell you Naruto."

But when Kiba looked at the Kiba he just punched he saw Akamaru lying on the ground and his eyes widened, the he punched the other Kiba and said,

"So it was you!"

But then that Kiba also turned into Akamaru. Kiba looked back and forth and when he tirned his back Naruto appeared and kicked him in the back and Kiba was sent flying and then Naruto shouted,

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" and 5 Narutos appeared by the real one and they all ran at Kiba before he fell. One Naruto jumped into the air off of one Naruto's back and all the others kicked Kiba in the stomach one at a time and said, "Na-Ru-To" and The Naruto above him said,

"Get ready for my new jutsu Kiba! Uzumaki Barrage!"

Naruto slammed his foot into Kiba's back and the other Naruto's punched Kiba in the gut before he landed on the ground. Kiba collapsed on the clones causing them to disappear. Naruto walked up to Kiba and grabbed a kunai just in case and said,

"I told you I wouldn't lose and as for transformations in the academy well that was the academy and this is now Kiba. I've changed, I've gotten stronger than you and I'll keep getting stronger until I reach my dream of being Hokage. That won't change either."

Kiba grunted and tried to get up but fell to the ground trembling in pain. Naruto walked away to get Akamaru and brought it to Kiba and said,

"I could've taken your dog Akamaru hostage but that would've been low and it wouldn't have been an actual win against you."

All of a sudden there was cheering and Sakura shouted,

"Way to go Naruto! You put Kiba in his place!"

Hayate looked at Naruto in approval and said,

"The winner is Naruto Uzumaki!"

Naruto screamed and wooted and as he walked back up Hinata confronted him and gave him some healing medicine and Naruto thanked her and went to stand by his team. When he looked at the screen panel he froze at the names and there was a complete silence.

"Will next opponents Neji Hyuuga and Hinata Hyuuga please come down for the next battle."

Thanks for reading my fanfiction so far. It's the first one I've written and I know it isn't much of one but if you just think about it the little change with Sakura I made makes huge differences in the coming events. The next chapter I post will be the last Preliminary Match and I've decided how to do the final matches. Naruto vs Neji (match 1), Shikamaru vs Temari (match 2), Kankuro vs Shino (match 3), Sakura vs Dosu (match 4), and Sasuke vs Gaara. Sasuke's match will be the last match. It might be confusing when I lay it out but when you read I think you'll like it. Please keep reading my work and feel free to review I don't mind getting constructive criticism on my work so if you have any problems or any advice just let me know. Thank you ^-^
