Sigh, Anyway, here's chapter 7…

Chapter 7: Lee's challenge

"Okay, so let me get this straight."

Lee and Naruto stood in the grassy area of the training grounds. Lee had just finished explaining the conditions and rules on their sparring match.

"So," said Naruto, "So in this so called 'sparring match' we can use Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, AND weapons!? Don't you think that weapons will make this a little…you know…dangerous?"

"Haha indeed! That is why I raced ahead of you to fetch my bag full of wooden ninja weapons!" exclaimed Lee tossing Naruto a green bag, "The kunai are in the left pocket, shuriken in the right, double-edged kunai in the front…"

Lee continued to tell Naruto the various locations of the weapons he had stored in the bag. Naruto rummaged through the bag taking enough weapons he thought he'd need. He was pretty sure that Lee had not done this by himself. He must have gotten help from Tenten. Who else could make so many weapons out of wood?

"…and that should be all Naruto-kun!" said Lee finally finishing up

"Haha what? No exploding tags?" teased Naruto

"Ossu! I completely forgot!" said Lee standing tall with his hand making a salute gesture.

'Haha that's not something to be proud of fuzzy-brows… I think your hard work has finally gone to your head…'

"Are you finished packing the necessary supplies for our match Naruto-kun?" asked Lee

"Just about…" said Naruto pulling out some more shuriken, "Alright, I'm finished. Just let me put away my real ones. We wouldn't want any accidents."

"Yosh! Let our math begin!"


"GOMU GOMU NOOOOoooo BAZOOKA!!!"

"WOOHOO! Go Luffy go!"

Back at Naruto's apartment, clone-Naruto waited for Hinata to wake up by watching one of his newfound favorite shows he saw during his travels – One Piece.

"GOMU GOMU NOOOooo FUUSEN!" screamed clone-Naruto as he pretended to inflate like a balloon, "Haha it's just like Choji's expansion jutsu!"


Swiiish…swoosh…

A gentle breeze blew across the training grounds. Blades of grass moved like waves in the ocean. Two leaf village ninja stood at a distance from each other. Both stood there staring at each other, waiting for the other one to make a move.

Swiiish…swoosh…

Pew!

The two ninjas suddenly moved and to the untrained eye, seemed to have disappeared. Both ninjas dashed across the training grounds at amazing speeds. As if intentionally mirroring each other, both reached a hand into their equipment pouches.

Tok! Twish!

Naruto threw several kunai at the green clad ninja and had them deflected by the other ninja's throwing weapons as well.

"Konoha Senpu!" (Leaf Whirlwind)

Naruto turned his back to his opponent and made a quick sequence of hand seals as Lee's leg swung against his shoulder.

WACK 'Gotcha' thought Lee

Poof!

What would have been Naruto being hit, was a log being smashed by Lee's kick.

'No! A kawarimi!' (replacement)

"Over here!"

Lee turned around to see a foot rapidly advancing toward his head. Lee raised his arms to guard against the aerial attack and…

"Don't forget me!"

Lee failed to notice another Naruto under sliding with his foot outstretched pointing to his stomach.

"Gah!"

Lee was hit in the stomach and slid backwards.

"Hn"

"Haha getting soft Fuzzy-Brows?" teased Naruto standing a few feet from him in a stance.

"Haha I see you've improved your Taijutsu. Let us see who truly has gone soft!"

With that, Lee reached down and reached into his leg warmers to reveal a pair of beige weights. With a giant crash, Lee let go of his weights.

"Haha bring it on Fuzzy-brows!" Said Naruto

"As you wish!" exclaimed Lee

The spandex ninja dashed toward Naruto looking like nothing but a green blur. Round and round went Lee, running around Naruto leaving afterimages in his trail.

"I believe you know what come next Naruto-kun?" said Lee still a green blur around the orange clad ninja.

Naruto didn't respond, but instead said the one he knew would slow Lee down.

"Tajuu! Kage Bushin No Jutsu!" (Multiple shadow clone technique)

Just then, ten additional clones appeared around Naruto.

"Your old tricks won't stop me Naruto-kun!"

Poof Poof Poof

One by one, each of the Naruto clones began to disappear from Lee's kicks.

'Darn, he's just so fast... I know!'

One of Naruto's clones began to form a Rasengan in Naruto's right hand.

"RASENGAN!"

Naruto slammed the swirling sphere into the ground causing a crater to form large enough to get Lee to slow down. Lee, seeing the crater rapidly forming because of Naruto's technique, ceased circling him.

Lee jumped a distance away from Naruto only to see more clones after him.

"Now it's my turn!" said Naruto

"!?" Lee was shocked to see what Naruto began to do.

Naruto closed his eyes. 'Open!' When he opened them, they revealed a more serious, more intense expression. Naruto charged at Lee and began to circle around him with his other clones. Lee was stupefied at the sight of what he was seeing. Naruto and seven of his remaining clones were orange and black blurs running around him just as he had a few moments ago. Naruto had assimilated and modified the lotus!

'Naruto-kun…what you did just now, d-did you just open a chakra gate?'

"Haha ready Fuzzy-brows?"

"More so than you think my friend!" exclaimed Lee moving into a defensive stance.

Then it began, a flurry of kicks attempting to make the green clad ninja airborne. Nine…ten…eleven…twelve…thirteen… Lee was getting tired of blocking all of Naruto's kicks. Unfortunately, he lost his guard for a split second and…

'There!'

"U…"

Naruto's clone took advantage in Lee's opening and gave a kick that sent Lee flying.

"Zu…"

Another clone leapt up and delivered a roundhouse kick to Lee's side, only to have it block by his arm.

"Ma…"

Yet another clone was at Lee's side launching a thrust kick to his left side, again, only to be block by Lee's arm.

Ki…"

This time the attack was an uppercut aimed at his chin. Lee again successfully block this attack. Unfortunately…

"Naruto…"

Lee turned his head in horror as he had missed the clone that was behind him. The clone then grabbed on to Lee's shoulders and began spinning down to the group of clones waiting beneath them.

"RENGE!"

The clones who had previously attempted to strike him earlier jumped into the air to barrage Lee with a flurry of fists.

Right before being hit by Naruto's fists, Lee used his elbows to jab the clone attached to his back in the sides and used him as a shield.

"Gah!" went the clone as it disappeared

"KONOHA, DAISENPU!" (Leaf Hurricane – I think)

Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!

All of the clones beneath Lee were hit and dispersed. When the smoke cleared, there stood Rock Lee and Naruto Uzumaki in offensive stances, each wielding a wooden kunai in their hand holding it at each other's thoughts.

"Haha guess it's a tie." Said Naruto

"Haha indeed Naruto-kun. And what a youthful tie it was!"

TEEW (A sound effect I use to indicate that the character sensed something)

"Do you sense that?"

"Yeah…" responded Lee

"Who's there? There's no point in hiding!" shouted Naruto

A dark silhouette emerged from the bushes nearby. It was…


Okay, theres chapter 7. R&R...please...
