[Sunagakure Martial Arts Tournament]

"The Wheel of Fate is turning…Rebel 1…"

Those were the words that had the world on the edge. People were tuned in on the match of the century; of Uzumaki Naruto and the Kazekage. The people of Sunagakure simply sneered in silent contempt for Uzumaki, quietly calling him a 'fool', a 'monster-lover', and a 'traitor to humanity' among others.

Around the world however, was a different story…

[Konohagakure no Sato]

When it was heard that Naruto would be fighting the Kazekage this soon, everybody tuned in. Such was the commotion that all outgoing missions were temporarily suspended to watch the fight to come.

Harumi dragged Tenten and Lin to Anko's apartment as soon as all four of them were done with their missions.

Both generations of the Ino-Shika-Chō trio sat in Ino's home, the Akimichi family bringing in the food, and the Naras bringing in drinks. The tension was so great that nobody touched the chips.

Hinata sat at the couch with her family, watching as Naruto stood at the ready to fight. She was amused by the precocious crush that Hanabi was harboring, and was curious as to her cousin Nami's reaction.

The Uchiha remnants found that watching Naruto's fights was an effective distraction from their plight after Itachi killed more than half their number. This was shortly after Naruto's departure from Konoha.

Ayame stayed with Iruka, both women watching from the small TV in the ramen stand. Their eyes were transfixed on the screen with anticipation as the two of them waited for the referee to signal the start of the match.

Overall, the village was completely fixated on that one moment. A boy from their village was going to take on a Kazekage, and they wanted to see the action for themselves. The only ones that chose not to watch were those who hated Naruto with a passion; although some chose to watch so that they could mock Naruto from afar for his failure and foolishness.

[Somewhere in Kusa no Kuni]

A naked Otohime watched on the TV screen as Naruto faced off against the Kazekage. As this was going on, she had a few slaves attending to her sexual desires; two of them were sucking on her nipples, a third was nuzzling her neck, and the last one licking her pussy and her balls while stroking her cock. Their actions would only serve to stoke the fantasies she had of taking Naruto-kun for herself; partly out of curiosity, partly out of revenge, but mostly out of unmitigated lust.

"Show me what you can do, Naruto-kun."

She simply laughed to herself as her slaves continued to service her. Each girl knew the consequences if she worked up the courage to bite her master. All the better for her, as she was excited to find out which of these girls was a virgin. "If you manage to kill Wesker, then more power to me."

[Unknown Location]

A man in a red suit and cap sat in front of a desk to watch the fight. He pressed a button on the side to activate the intercom.

"Is everything ready?" he asked.

"Hai, Bison-dono."

"Good."

Bison reclined back in his seat as he turned his gaze back to the television screen. "Either way, it is a victory for me. Although I do look forward to his victory; for his power will make Shadaloo stronger!"

[Iwagakure no Sato]

Many people were tuned in on the television sets for the fight in Sunagakure. People were muttering to themselves, wondering as to the result of the match. In the meantime, many people were making bets with each other, giving many bookkeepers a lot of work. Their bets could be heard above the crowds.

"1000 ryo says Uzumaki loses to the Kazekage!"

"2000 says he beats the Kazekage!"

"1500 on Uzumaki being killed!"

The idea that a boy could take on a kage-level kunoichi was absurd. "Ridiculous," said, an old lady, her body having shrunk from old age, "all this fuss over a boy. Although I will have to admit; were it not for the fact that he's a Konoha-boy, I would've kidnapped him and done a shotgun wedding on him."

"And who exactly were you going to marry him off to?" challenged a younger girl, as she took a seat next to the old woman.

"Who else?"

"He's not my type, Grandma." sighed the girl, "Besides, we both know I'm not the marrying type."

"Ah, so be it…but really, it's a shame he's a Konoha-boy. Maybe those strong hands of his could work wonders on my back problems…and more."

"GRANDMA!" It was definitely not the image she wanted to see.

[Sunagakure no Sato Martial Arts Tournament]

"…ACTION!"

{Play: "Battle! VS Gym Leader" from "Pokemon Reorchestrated: Kanto Symphony"}

Naruto began the fight by charging in to assault the Kazekage. His opponent had not moved an inch, merely waiting for him to come. Just as he was about to begin punching out his opponent, something began shifting around before solidifying into a solid block that absorbed his punch.

Upon impact with the slab, cracks began to spider-web onto the surface. Naruto then managed to jump back just in time to watch as tendrils of some kind of dust was shooting out from the gaps in the tiles. These jets of 'sand' were aimed at his arms and legs, as he tried to somersault and backflip away from the attacks; fast as they were, Naruto was just a little faster.

When he was a good distance away from the Kazekage, Naruto had to reassess his opponent before going in for the attack. The tendrils seemed to be rising up from the spaces between the tiles, swirling around like snakes threatening to strike at the slightest provocation. A closer examination of the 'sand' was given, and Naruto noted that not only was it of a yellowish color, but it gave off a faint metallic luster. Is this gold? he asked himself quietly, I know of only one person that can control gold like this.

Naruto dropped his stance, and looked at the Kazekage. "Why don't you show yourself and give me your name. You at least owe me that honor."

"Gladly."

The Kazekage pulled off her hat and her robes, causing Naruto to widen his eyes in surprise. Familiar spiky red hair covered her head, as she looked down at him with black eyes. Milky skin was pulled taut over a delicate body that had matured well. Overall, he was reminded of where Gaara got her good looks from, considering that his opponent was her mother.

Surprise had transformed into excitement, as Naruto had the sort of grin on his face one would expect from a predator that had found worthy prey. "I was hoping it'd be you." he said, unable to contain his excitement, "I was actually looking forward to the chance to knock some sense into you!"

The Kazekage grunted in defiance. "I actually look forward to beating you, Uzumaki. That way, I shall have someone in my home, ready to service me and my daughters as the family man-whore!"

"That's assuming you beat me first!"

"That can be arranged; and I, Rasa, the Yondaime Kazekage, will see to it that you will never leave my village unscathed!"

"We'll see about that!" said Naruto, slipping out of his fighting stance, "I guess it's time to get a little more serious!" He then stood in a meditative stance, with both palms facing the ground at waist-level. After a few seconds, a resounding 'boom' accompanied a small tremor that shook the entire arena; as though an invisible explosion had just been set off. Once things had settled down, Naruto slipped into a different fighting stance; his legs were in the half-bow stance, one hand outstretched in front of him, while the remaining one was held close to his body.

Rasa had resumed her stance. Her arms were folded in front of her, daring Naruto to attack. Naruto continued the fight by charging forward in a single bound, his arm ready for a palm strike. The golden sand had formed up the bubble-shield in front of the Kazekage, packing itself into a wall of solid metal the second that Naruto was a few feet away from her. Naruto stopped right in front of the shield, planted his feet into the ground upon landing, and drove his palm into it.

What happened next defied all expectations in those that knew the Kazekage, as Naruto's hand had smashed through the sand-shield in one blow. The expression on Rasa's face was of outright shock, as the fist came crashing through the first layer of defense, followed by the rest of the body, before it slammed into her abdomen. That single hit had sent her flying before Rasa found her bearings in midair just in time to land on her feet.

As soon as she landed, Rasa was hunched over in pain. In her abdomen, where Naruto had hit her, cracks had spider-webbed up towards the junction where her breasts met her chest. It was discolored, revealing gold underneath the natural colors of her clothing. She panted as she looked at her opponent in shock. "I actually felt that!" she gasped, as the crack began to repair itself. In a few seconds, the cracks had sealed themselves in before the color had returned. "What did you just do?"

Naruto slipped back into a fighting stance, keeping his eye on Rasa. "In my martial arts style, there's two main schools of thought: Nothingness and Destruction. While I'm fighting in the School of Nothingness, my soul is emptied out; this allows the power of all creation to flow through me, putting a lot more force behind my blows. And you want to know what the funny thing is? This isn't even my best style."

Rasa's eyes had widened at that remark. She'd just taken a punch that could have pulped her insides had she not activated her Suna no Yoroi, and Uzumaki wasn't even fighting her seriously? The possibilities in her mind were as boundless as the fear that she was channeling into motivation; all she needed to do was to beat this boy, and she could force him to teach her kunoichi his taijutsu style. Once that was done, there was no question that Sunagakure would be supreme, at least as far as taijutsu specialists were concerned. It'd be pointless to confront him with my ranged attacks, she thought, perhaps I can match him blow for blow in his own turf?

"Impressive indeed," she finally said, her body slipping into the horse stance, "seeing as my Suna no Tate was useless before your 'Nothingness' style, I won't bother fighting you with it." As she charged chakra into her body, Rasa began to fly through hand-seals at a rapid pace. Her hands were a blur as she quickly performed a long string of seals within the span of five seconds, only to end in the "Hitsuji" seal. "Suna no Yoroi: Sabaku Bushin!"

As soon as she called out the name of her jutsu, the gold-and-sand mixture began to form tendrils that were sucked into a vortex around Rasa's body. There was so much of the mixture flying through the air from all directions that it may as well have been a sandstorm of gold dust and chakra-enriched sand.

Naruto had no idea as to what was happening, but he refused to drop his guard. He waited with anticipation as the gold and sand obscured the form of the Kazekage. He had no clue what would step out of the sandstorm, but he knew that it would be a very difficult fight waiting for him.

He didn't have long to wait for the Rasa's jutsu to be complete. The sandstorm had gradually begun to slow as every particle began to settle onto a single form.

Naruto could still make out her face, but the problem was that she'd gained about a foot and a half in height, and her body had become broader and chunkier from the large muscles that now rippled across her body. She was topless, revealing a sizable bust that rested above a six-pack, and red spiral-markings leading from her shoulders to curl around on each breast. Rasa's short maroon hair had turned to silver, and was slicked back to give her a wild look. The only articles of clothing she wore were a pair of gauntlets, baggy pants that were held up by a sash, and a pair of boots. Holstered at the small of her back was a nōdachi that was far larger than normal. "Now we are on even ground," she said, rotating her neck, and then shoulders. Once she felt limber enough, Rasa folded her arms in front of her chest. "I hope you don't disappoint!"

Naruto dashed forward, and landed a heavy punch to her jaw. The Kazekage didn't need to fight back with much; she stopped his punch using only her augmented neck muscles, the sound of metallic creaking coming from her neck joints. She then answered by swatting away Naruto's hand, and sending a jab to his face with enough force to send him flying into the wall.

"This body is already mighty enough with my control over sand, but gold is an extremely good conductor," began Rasa, "since it can conduct electricity way better than silver or copper, then I see no reason why chakra won't be conducted as well. What this means is, that because I'm using gold fibers in my armor, my punches will be as strong as they are fast!"

Naruto stood back up, and charged back at the Kazekage to continue their battle. And with every step he took, he could only grin in excitement; how could he not, when he'd finally found a worthy opponent?

[Up in the stands]

Chun-Li watched as the battle below her unfolded. She was conflicted; on the one hand, she hoped the boy would lose, so that she would not have to go through with what she'd been planning. On the other hand, as much as she hated herself for admitting it, his victory would bring Shadaloo's attention onto him, thus allowing her to track their movements much more easily. Once she had a better idea of where to find the shithole that Bison was hiding at, she prayed that she would be able to finish this long-term mission she was on to destroy the criminal organization once and for all.

In all honesty, she hated that she'd been approached by the Hokage and Sango with this mission. But at the same time, she also knew that if she wanted her daughter to have a safer future without having to look around the corner for Shadaloo Human Traffickers, Chun-Li needed to see this to the end. She needed to risk one life to save everyone from the evils of Shadaloo and all its branches…Shadaloo Intimidation Network being the most notorious of them all. The Hokage would probably call her out on this decision to risk one of the village's Jinchūriki as bait, but she felt that it would be worth it in the end to draw the monster out.

As she looked on at Naruto preparing to continue the fight, she prayed that she could finish this mission quickly so that she could save everyone's lives. As soon as Shadaloo turned its attention onto him, Chun-Li had to work fast; every second she dawdled put him at risk of getting abducted. If that happened, then…No, I will not think that way! I will finish this mission, and save everyone, even Naruto-kun, or die trying! "Mina-chan, Kushina-chan, if you can hear me in heaven, don't worry." she whispered to herself, "That old monkey of a Hokage will make sure that Harumi-chan grows up to become a fine woman. But I swear to you, one way or another, I'll see to it that Naruto-kun lives free and happy."

[Tanzaku City]

Pachinko machines hardly had any players at them, and the card tables were empty. Everyone's attention was focused on the nearest television screen, watching the fight that was going on between Uzumaki Naruto, and the Kazekage Rasa. The microphones at the fight could pick up the sound of punches and kicks being blocked, and the 'whoosh' of missed punches as the fight began to accelerate. But occasionally, the storm of fists between the two of them stopped as successful counters were made; Uzumaki would throw out his "Shoryuken" and catch the Kazekage with his overpowered uppercuts, or she would counter a little later with a cross-counter to the face.

All the while, shouts could be heard as people had made bets on who would win the match.

"C'mon Kazekage, beat this arrogant upstart!"

"Know your place, boy!"

"Show that brat what you can do!"

"I'm counting on you, Kazekage! Be a credit to your people!"

One spectator in particular had been most vocal in Naruto's victory. She was a blonde and buxom woman in a green jacket. Her gray kimono was not able to stop her generous assets from bouncing around as she shook her arms frantically. On her forehead was a violet diamond, and her eyes were of a clear chestnut color. "C'mon Gaki! Win this match already! If not for Konoha, then for me! Show these pricks what happens for betting against you! I've bet everything I've got on you, so don't you dare embarrass me, or Konoha!"

Another woman in a black kimono with a pig in her arms let her jaw drop at the revelation. "Tsunade-sama, you bet everything?!"

[The Sunagakure Martial Arts Tournament]

The first punch was sent to Rasa's chin to crack her armor "Shin!" It was then followed by a second and heavier uppercut that her tumbling backwards before smashing into the wall behind her "SHORYUKEN!". She stood back up, looked up at Naruto with a menacing stare. "No matter what I do, you just won't back down." she said, panting and reaching for the sword at the small of her back. "And I can see now why you enjoy it; I'm enjoying it now too." As she spoke, she gripped onto the sheath, drawing the excessively long blade of her nōdachi. "But it still doesn't compare to using my blade!" The sheath flew off to the side, before disintegrating into gold and sand, and transforming into a ring that hovered behind her. "Prepare to meet your end, boy!"

Rasa raised the blade of her nodachi into the air, charging her blade with chakra. With a single downwards swing, Naruto rolled to the side before running in for the kill, transitioning into a crouch before jumping backwards over a low horizontal slash. The second he landed, Naruto charged energy into one hand, and fired it at his target. "Hadouken!"

The wave of energy flew towards Rasa quickly, barely giving her enough time to bring her nōdachi up to block. Naruto charged forward, smashing one palm into the blade, obliterating the massive sword; it was followed by a very powerful uppercut that connected with Rasa's chin. The Kazekage answered by countering with an overhead punch, kneeing Naruto from below the chin, and following through with a backwards straight kick that he was barely able to block.

Once he was far enough away from his opponent, Naruto looked at Rasa. She had the look of someone that had been deceived. "I thought you were a boy, so how come you're able to use chakra?!" she shouted, before her eyes had widened in realization. "You're actually a girl aren't you?!"

"No, I'm a boy," answered Naruto, stretching himself out, "It's just that I'm using a power totally different from chakra. It's a power that anyone can use if they meditate as long as I have. It's called 'ki,' and as far as I know, there are few people who can use it."

"That won't matter!" dismissed Rasa, throwing away the hilt of her nōdachi. The pieces of the sword disintegrated, and reinforced the ring that hovered behind her back. "I'll defeat you, and make you teach my kunoichi your taijutsu style!"

"Like I'll let that happen!"

Rasa and Naruto had charged forward, this time the duel between them was slower-paced. However, there was an immeasurable amount of force in their strikes that compensated for how slow their movements were. The power of every punch and kick that landed was such that they sounded like high explosives that had gone off in close range with every impact. Eventually, Naruto managed to land a punch across Rasa's face that stunned her, shortly before he performed another uppercut below her chin. "Shoryuken!"

Once he landed back on the ground, Naruto quickly reeled back with both hands over each other, charging a large amount of ki between them. It gradually became a larger ball of energy as more ki was pumped into it, but there also seemed to be lightning arcing around the sphere. As soon as he saw Rasa nearing to the ground, Naruto let the sphere loose! "DENJIN HADOUKEN!"

As the sphere of energy left Naruto's hands, it began to stretch into a blade-like shape. The 'lightning blade' had cut through Rasa's armor, and electrocuted her as she fell onto it. She soon found that she was unable to move due to her nerves being scrambled. "W-What the hell?"

"That was one of the Nothingness School's ultimate attacks," said Naruto, walking up to Rasa's supine form. "It creates a blade of pure electricity that will electrocute targets. You won't be able to move for a bit."

She tried her hardest to move, but Rasa found that her arms and legs weren't responding. There was no way around it; a Kage had been defeated on live television by a mere boy. "I concede," she sighed, "the victory is yours. Gaara will go with you on your travels…however, I have some stipulations."

"Name it."

"Even though you seem to be a man of your word, I still don't trust you," began Rasa, finally finding the strength to stand back up. As she did so, her armor of gold and sand had begun crumbling with every step she took towards him. "If you're going to take my daughter, then take her sisters with you. They shall watch you and report on your actions to me. I also want her to participate in the Chūnin Exams in your hometown, so make sure she's on time. Agree to these conditions, and I will allow Gaara to follow you on your travels."

"It's a done deal," said Naruto, "anything is better than leaving her here with people that would try to kill her."

There was nothing said, not even when Naruto caught the collapsing Kazekage. The people of Sunagakure no Sato, and the Hokage and her entourage had their jaws hanging wide open. This was primarily due the shock from registering as to what had just happened. A boy had done the impossible; he'd defeated a Kage!

[Unknown Location]

Bison's grin had widened as he pressed the button on his desk. "Send in the Dolls."

[Somewhere in Kusagakure]

Her eyes had widened at what she'd just seen. The impact of the event that Otohime had witnessed was such that she blew her load in the girl giving her the blowjob. Just the idea of having Naruto-kun's body in her possession to do with as she pleased was too much for her.

She would give Wesker the order. But first, she had an itch to scratch…and a fantasy to satisfy; with the girls that were servicing her.

[Amegakure no Sato]

A woman sat on a couch in front of a television screen. She wore a black coat with red clouds across the tail, as well as an orange mask with spirals radiating from a single eye hole from the right side.

"You intrigue me with every fight you win, Naruto-kun," she said, "perhaps it would be a good idea to bring you into our little organization."

"But what about the Kyūbi, Toki-sama?" asked a woman with orange hair, and piercings adorning her body, "we still need the Bijū within him for our plan."

"It won't matter which twin we have to get," answered Toki, "we just need one of them. Naruto would be a fine member, if only a temporary one. If we can convince him to join us willingly, then getting his sister would be all the easier to capture." She then laughed to herself sinisterly. "I wonder how dear, sweet, Harumi-chan would react, when she finds out that the boy she is in love with is her younger twin brother?"

A/N: Sorry for any lack in quality; I was desperate to submit this chapter. Hopefully, I haven't mangled this story in any shape or form. Either way, the hunt is now on.

Original Jutsu:

"Suna no Yoroi: Sabaku Bushin"─the name means "Armor of Sand: Desert War God." It's a variation of the Suna no Yoroi where Rasa coalesces the sand and gold dust she has to form a sort of body that she can use to perform taijutsu in. Due to the fact that gold is by far the best conductor of electricity, she can form gold fibers to act as nerves to enable fast reactions without compromising on hard-hitting power.
