The first match of the chunnin exam finals had been announced.
Shigure Uzumaki vs. Neji Hyuuga
Both combatants stood there glaring at each other.
"It is your fate to lose this match so just give up and accept it" Neji stated confidently as he switched into his stance and prepared for a serious fight.
"You idiot it is not fate that decides anything it is your own skill and determination that decides anything and everything" Shigure stated as he unsheathed his dual kodachi and started gathering charka.
"Match begin"
Shigure quickly made a cross slash across his chest releasing a blade of ice charging straight at Neji. Neji quickly dodged the blades of ice and started maneuvering his way towards Shigure while dodging any blades of ice Shigure launched at him, he was smirking the whole time still sure of his victory. "Shit, I didn't want to test this out so soon" Shigure thought as he started through some hand signs, when he finished he rubbed his hands along his arms and his chest then he concentrated on Neji who had just came close range. They quickly entered into a close range taijutsu and kenjutsu (1) match where neither one of them could get past the others guard to do any damage. Then Shigure tried for a sweeping slash to Nejis legs but Neji quickly jumped over the blades and got a few hits in on Shigures arm effectively disabling them almost down to his wrist, so he didn't drop the kodachi. They both quickly jumped back and waited for the other to make a move. "It's not over yet you are within my divination trigrams" Neji stated as he switched into a different stance with his left arm almost on the ground and his right held up in the air behind him. Before Shigure could react Neji disappeared and reappeared right in front of him and struck him sixty-four times making Shigure fall to his knees and unable to move. "I've shut all your tenketsu so you can't form charka or move at all so just accept that fate decided for you to lose to me here" Neji said then he started to walk away, but stopped when he heard Shigure laughing.
"I knew you were an overconfident idiot" Shigure said while still on the ground laughing.
"What's so funny you can't move or attack so what are you laughing about?" Neji asked completely confused by this turn of events.
Shigure suddenly disappeared from the ground and Neji felt a blade at his throat and one at his gut "It's just the fact that you talk about fate but we all know that fate is undecided, but you went and got overconfident and now you lose like all you overconfident Hyuuga will if you have to face me" Shigure said. Then he went and knocked Neji out with the butt of his kodachi. "All you Hyuuga out there listen up! You are not the all powerful clan you claim to be. Why you ask? Because you all are a bunch of idiots that wouldn't know true power if it held a sign in your face. I ask you has any Hyuuga ever been nominated for Hokage. Or is a Hyuuga one of the legendary sannin? The answer to both is no, you all limit yourselves to your taijutsu style and nothing else which makes you have another weakness besides the blind spot at the back of your head. To Hinata Hyuuga you were thought to be the only Hyuuga to have a chance at actually being strong by my little brother, but when you found out someone beat you to asking him out you became like the rest, you still have a chance to change so think about this." And with his speech done he started to leave the arena.
"How are you able to move after my attack?" Neji asked.
"Wait until I have to fight my little bro then you will find out because I will be forced to use the same technique again not choose to like I did with you." Shigure replied as he finally left the battlefield.
"Winner Shigure Uzumaki"
Everyone cheered for a great fight and looked forward to the next one.
Naruto Uzumaki vs. Dosu
Naruto and Dosu made their way to the arena below and each got ready without a speech or glaring they just stood there waiting for the match to begin.
"Match begin"
Naruto quickly started to do a long string of hand signs but Dosu didn't plan on giving him a chance to finish them as he charged forward and started throwing a barrage of punches and sound attacks coming from his melody arm. Naruto just calmly dodged each attack while still doing the hand signs and keeping count in his head, when he reached the 200th one he jumped farther back than normal and slammed his hands into the ground while shouting "Frozen Tundra's Rage!" Snow quickly spread out from his hands starting to cover the entire field and Naruto faded from view into the snow. Dosu started looking around while trudging through the snow expecting Naruto to appear from anywhere, when a huge wave of snow suddenly smashed against him, knocking him deep into the snowdrifts. "Tundra Rage Funeral" a voice shouted from somewhere in the drifts as the snow around Dosu shook and slowly pulled him deeper into the snow crushing him under all of it with no room to breathe he quickly passed out, The snow completely disappeared to show a nice and comfortable Naruto standing there with a huge grin on his face.
"Winner Naruto Uzumaki"
Everyone was stunned that the thought dead last was so strong, but then Hinata started to clap setting off a chain reaction as roars and shouts of approval spread throughout the stadium. While they were cheering the next match was announced.
Sasuke Uchiha vs. Rock Lee
Both the chosen combatants' jumped to the field below. Sasuke looked over at Lee and thought "This is going to be a huge waste of time he's not even worthy of facing an Uchiha" While Lee was stretching and preparing for what he thought would be a good match.
"Match begin"
Lee quickly charged towards Sasuke who started going through some hand signs then breathed out a huge ball of fire straight at Lee, who in return did a roundhouse kick to the fireball and knocked it away by adding a little charka to his kick. Sasuke was shocked that he had been able to do that but then he got into a stance similar to the one Lee used and waited for Lee to get close.
Naruto noticed the stance Sasuke took and got pissed, so he quickly walked over to Kakashi to give him a piece of his mind closely followed by Gai.
"How could you do that to Lee Kakashi-Baka, you gave Sasuke the only thing he had going for him and took it away that's why I hate the damn Sharingan you all use it to steal what others have." Naruto shouted at Kakashi.
"He already copied the style when he had that little spar with Lee before the exams began" Kakashi replied.
"Your power of youth has left you friend because we both know that is a lie he only copied part of one move but you opened your eye during the match between Lee and Sai and then taught him the style I can't believe you would do that" Gai stated while barely containing his rage at his unyouthful rival as he called Kakashi.
"I told you he already..." Kakashi was cut off by a fist to his face sending him flying into the nearest wall and knocking him out.
"That felt really good" Gai stated as he lowered his fist "now let's go back and watch the match"
"Hey fox you know about the condition Lee has where he can't use any jutsu right?"
"Yea what about it?" The fox asked back.
"Well can you do anything about it" Naruto asked.
"Well there may be something….." The fox started telling Naruto what he could do.
Back at the match Lee and Sasuke were engaging in a fierce taijutsu which Sasuke with his Sharingan eye had the advantage and was using every inch of it, he finally got a good hit on Lee sending him skidding back a few feet.
"It's time for me to live by my shinobi way!" Lee shouted as he charged charka through his system and his face turned red.
"What is he doing?" Naruto asked.
"He's using the gates" Shigure said in awe.
"What are the gates?" Naruto asked back
"Well think about your charka flow it goes through eight different points of your body where it is limited so it doesn't rip up your system but if you push a large amount of charka forcefully through your system you can effectively open the gates, but if you open all eight you will gain enormous power but shortly after you open all eight you will die." Shigure stated sadly as he turned to watch how the match was going.
Lee had just finished opening the third gate when Sasuke hit him with a genjutsu. Lee suddenly found himself in a forest all alone. All of a sudden Tenten walked into sight and just glared then walked away, this progressed through everyone that he knew and cared about and he was eventually in tears. "Make it stop!" He yelled out loud effectively signaling that he gave up to Sasuke and the proctor. When he opened his eyes he found himself back in the arena so he started to cry knowing that he had lost the match.
"Lee!!" a few voices shouted as Tenten, Naruto and Gai all came down to check on him slowly followed by Neji. Who had woken up right at the end of the fight.
'Lee are you all right?" they asked as they watched him slowly stand up.
"I lost I'm not good enough to be a shinobi" he stated and they could tell that he had lost all hope of living his dream.
"Lee I want you to do something for me and if you do it I promise that you will achieve your dream" Naruto stated causing Lee to stare at him in barely concealed hope and everyone else looked at him in shock of his claim.
"What do you want me to do?" Lee asked.
"Just put your arms up into the air and hold them there" Naruto stated as he put one hand behind his back and charged some fox charka into his hand. Lee quickly put his hands in the air and when he had held them there for a few minutes Naruto punched him with the charka charged hand right in the gut pushing the red charka into Lee who quickly fell to the ground in pain and then fell unconscious.
"What the hell are you doing!" Gai and Tenten shouted at him as they tried to comfort Lee
"Neji, take a look at his charka systems and tell us what you see" Naruto stated calmly.
"Well I'll take a look but we all know they are shriveled which is why he couldn't use and jutsu at the academy or any now for that matter" he looked at Lee with his byakugan activated and was silent with shock for a few seconds. "I don't believe it his charka coils are fixed he can use jutsu know his pathways are almost as big as yours Naruto"
"Thank you Naruto for restoring lees youth to him" Gai shouted as he lunged forward and put Naruto in a death hug.
Then they then proceeded to take Lee of the field as the next match was announced.
Sabaku no Temari vs. Emechna Trine
Both the girls quickly jumped to the floor below and slid into different stances, Temari with on hand held in front of her and the other holding a closed fan behind her back, while Emechna stood sideways with one hand touching the ground and the other curved behind her back in a fist.
"Match begin"
"I'll show Naruto what a real girl can do" Temari shouted as she quickly opened her and sent some blades of wind racing towards Emechna. Emechna quickly went through a few hand signs and slammed her hand to the ground making a giant blue flower rise from the ground in front of her protecting her from the blades of wind. Temari quickly opened the fan fully and started shooting huge gusts of wind blasting against the flower trying to breakthrough it with not much success. Meanwhile with Emechna she had done a few more signs and a rose bloomed up in front of her, she quickly grabbed the stem of the rose pulling it from the ground revealing that its roots formed a whip with lots of little thorns going all the way to the end. Temari finally stopped making the blasts of wind realizing that it wasn't working and decided to wait for her to come out and fight. Emechna quickly charged out and started swinging the whip in front of her sending out thorns from it shooting towards Temari who started flipping and dodging them. When Emechna saw that the normal approach wasn't working she flew threw a few signs and whipped the rose again releasing one thorn that quickly became a thousand. Temari quickly hid behind her fan from the attack, she then decided that she was going to charge all her charka into one attack but when she started to gather her charka she found it being drained, she also found out that she couldn't move. When she looked down she saw some vines wrapped around her legs holding her their and no matter how hard she tried she couldn't break free.
"Those are my specially prepared charka vines, the quickly latch onto the closest source of charka and feed on it, they will never let go unless I touch them and mentally tell them to. If I leave them on you they will devour all your charka, then when they bloom the flowers they will devour your body as well so you might want to give up soon because you are almost out of charka and they will bloom in about fifteen minutes" Emechna said calmly like it was no big deal that she was about to kill a girl just because she tried to take Naruto away from her.
"I give, you win" Temari said quietly. Emechna quickly walked up to her and removed the vines. "It was a good match though we should have a rematch sometime" Emechna said grinning at Temari who just smiled and nodded. Temari then started to faint when a pair of arms caught her.
"Winner Emechna Trine"
"I'm touched that you would care about me that much Temari-Chan but I'm sorry I don't think of you that way I think of you like a sister to me so I'm sorry" Naruto said as she finally passed out from exhaustion and he carried her up to where Gaara and Kankuro were waiting and they proceed to make sure she was ok. While they were doing this the next match got underway.
Kyo Honda vs. Hatori Honda
The brothers quickly made their way down to the arena.
"Well Hatori I guess this will be our tie breaker" Kyo asked his brother when they reached the arena floor.
"Looks that way, but don't expect to win this one" Hatori said smirking at his brothers pissed off face.
"Match begin"
They both quickly started going through some signs but Hatori finished first. "Tail of the sun dragon" he shouted as he whipped his right arm towards Kyo as a scaled tail of light came out and crashed towards Kyo. "Scales of the moon dragon" Kyo shouted as his entire body got covered in black scales giving him dragon armor that easily deflected the light attack.
"I see you have gotten better at calling forth that armor brother" Hatori stated as he went through a few more signs and then his body got covered in scales made of light "but so have I"
"Maybe we should step this up a notch" Kyo asked.
"What do you have in mind?"
"We each have attacks that the other doesn't have a opposite to so I propose we summon our swords and use only our original techniques and the sword to finish each other because no one will win if we keep it like this"
"An unusually good idea from you, fine I accept your challenge but lets limit it to only one other techniques and out swords"
"Deal so lets get started"
Both of them then went through the hand signs for their weapons and shouted at the same time "Blazing sun Wakizazhi" "Covering darkness Zanbato" On one side bright light covered while on the other it was shrouded in darkness. When they were revealed Hatori was holding the extremely long and thin light sword again, while Kyo had an extremely wide and thick, but short black sword leaning on his shoulder.
"I see your sword has changed from the weak and flimsy one it was before, doesn't it have a special ability like mine?" Hatori asked Kyo
"Yes it does and this one will completely crush your pathetic little wakizazhi" Kyo replied as he slammed the sword into the ground and dragged it with him as he charged Hatori leaving a huge gouge in his wake. Hatori quickly brought his sword up to guard and was shocked when he was still pushed back a few feet from the blow. "Creeping darkness" Kyo shouted as the arena suddenly got filled with shadows and Hatori couldn't see a thing.
"So this is the jutsu you choose huh little bro good choice it effectively limits what I can do but I'm not out yet" Hatori spoke into the darkness knowing the Kyo could hear him.
"I will win this" Kyo shouted from somewhere in the darkness as Hatori barely blocked another slash from Kyo and got a little cut on his left leg.
"I guess that this darkness also blocks my other sense considering I can't hear or sense him at all" Hatori thought as he blocked yet another attack. Hatori quickly decided on an idea and slid into another stance. When Kyo came in for another attack Hatori quickly blocked it barely, then he quickly twirled his blade around Kyos' pulling him close enough for Hatori to grip his shirt. "Prison of light" he shouted out a light quickly formed itself into a ball around Kyo and started to shrink, crushing him inside.
"You mine as well give up you can't escape that prison and you will die if you refuse a bit longer" Hatori told Kyo.
"So that's the jutsu you choose brother, good choice but you still lose" Said a voice from behind Hatori as a huge force smacked into him sending him flying. When he landed he noticed that the darkness was gone and he saw Kyo standing there holding a sword four times bigger than the one he had when they started.
"Why is your sword bigger and how did you escape" Hatori asked while barely being able to stand.
"It is one of the two abilities of my sword, when yours upgrades you will get a second ability as well. My sword first ability is similar to yours in the fact that I transform myself into shadows and can escape anything; I can use it five times. The second ability is that it can absorb any darkness and shadows around it increasing its size and power so I'm sorry but you lose brother" Kyo stated as he held the sword straight in front of him.
"Fine you win the score is in your favor" Hatori said as he fainted on the floor.
"Winner Kyo Honda"
Sabaku no Gaara vs. Shino Aburame
Gaara floated to the arena below while Shino took his time walking down the stairs.
"I'm from the Aburame clan I won't hold back against you and I recommend you do the same" Shino stated as bugs started crawling out of his sleeves and around his body. Gaara just remained silent as the sand started to flow around him.
"Match begin"
Gaara quickly went through some hand signs as shin ordered his bugs to swarm at Gaara. The bugs had just reached Gaara when he finished making the signs and a huge wave of sand rose up behind Gaara and slammed forward into the ground sending a huge shockwave and sand flying all over the arena effectively stopping the bugs Shino sent out. Shino quickly jumped up into the nearest tree to get out of the way of the sand and disappeared from sight in a swirl of bugs. Kunai started flying out of different parts of the surrounding trees aimed at Gaara. The sand around Gaara quickly rose up to defend him but as each kunai hit he had a harder time of keeping it up. "What's happening? Why is my sand slowing down and not responding?" Gaara thought as his sand fell down around him and wouldn't react to his charka, as he stared at the sand around him he finally noticed all the little bugs crawling through it.
"I see you finally noticed my charka eating beetles roaming around in your sand, now you can't do anything and I know that you are not very skilled at taijutsu so just accept you defeat and I won't have my little friends eat the charka directly from you" Shino stated calmly as he jumped out of the tree directly behind Gaara. Gaara jut nodded at Shino signaling his defeat and started to walk up the stairs out of the arena.
"Winner Shino Aburame"
Well the first round was completed so the final fights were posted up on the board as the competitors rested and prepared for their next fights.
Shigure Uzumaki vs. Naruto Uzumaki
Sasuke Uchiha vs. Emechna Trine
Kyo Honda vs. Shino Aburame
After the matches were announced they were told they would get an hour to rest then there would be no more breaks till the finals were over so they should get as much as they could. An hour later Shigure and Naruto were on the arena floor preparing to fight each other when a huge explosion rocked the village as smoke rose from the Hokage box and from the west gate. Sound and Sand shinobi poured into the village and started to attack the leaf Nins with the exceptions of the sand trio.
The rest of the competitors quickly jumped down to the arena and were just about to run off to help the village when a voice spoke up from behind them.
"It's been a while Sasuke my son" said the voice causing everyone to turn around and stare in shock as the entire Uchiha clan minus Itachi and Sasuke stood looking at them with sound headbands on their heads and arms.
"How are you guys still alive I thought you were all dead" He shouted at his father.
"We got offered a deal by Orochimaru that if we joined his village when he attacked leaf we would get free reign to kill any demon brats we came across and there are two of them in front of us know" and then he noticed Emechna "oh and the last of the Ranmyaku is among us as well" He said as he turned towards her. "It's been a while since I saw you last do you remember me?" He asked. Emechna shook he head no cautiously. "Didn't expect you to you were real young and it was pitch black when I slaughtered your family right in front of you, oh the pleasure at brining down a rival clan that could counter our Sharingan well there is no way to describe it" He smiled happily at her as he watched her rage building and she closed her eyes when they started to go violet so she didn't waste charka but this was a mistake as the Uchiha made his way towards her with a drawn katana.
"Emechna look out" Naruto yelled trying to get her attention but she was stuck in her memories and couldn't move. She opened her eyes just in time to see the man in front of her begin to swing his katana down at her and she knew she couldn't dodge it so she closed her eyes and tensed for the pain, but she suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap around her and felt them shudder from a blow.
"Eme-chan" a voice whispered in her ear causing her to open her eyes and she found she was staring into the face of Naruto.
"Why?" She asked him
"Because I love you I know that as a demon I don't deserve love but I love you and would never let anything happen to you so I thank you for being kind to me goodbye Eme-Hime" Naruto said as he smiled and slumped to the ground not breathing.
"Shit stay alive for a bit longer kit please just a bit longer" the fox was whispering in his head as Naruto started to black out.
"Naruto!!!!!" shouted Emechna and Shigure as they saw him fall.
Naruto heard this and smiled as the world went dark. When he next opened his eyes he was staring up at a white ceiling "Oh great the hospital" He thought as he groaned attracting the attention of the two occupants of his room
"Naruto your awake, quick go get Tsunade" Emechna said as Shigure quickly left the room coming back a few minutes later with Tsunade.
"Well at least you're awake" she said.
"How am I still alive I know I got hit in the gut and blacked out but what happened?" Naruto asked as he tried to sit up and realized his body was numb and he couldn't move. "And why can't I move?"
"Well when you passed out Shigure and Emechna here went into a rage with a few others included and kicked the crap out of most of the Uchiha much to the disappointment of Sasuke but the rest fled right after Orochimaru fled with his arms disabled. He got hurt in the fight when me and Jiraya went and helped Sarutobi in his fight, as for why you can't move well you're not fully healed and we have a problem we can't heal you because if we gather our charka to heal you demonic charka erupts from your body preventing us from getting close unless were family. Shigure here doesn't have enough skills in the medical field to perform the operation though so were sort of stuck." She explained.
"So basically you can't help me and for some reason the fox can't so I'm just going to die from internal bleeding" he asked and then cursed when he saw Tsunade nod and the rest look sad.
"That's not going to happen Naruto" said a voice from the door.
"And who the hell are you" shouted Tsunade as the woman walked in through the door, at the sight of her Shigure fell to the ground and started to back away crying.
"I must be dreaming how can you be here you're supposed to be dead" he asked as he was on the ground with tears of sadness and happiness coming out of his eyes uncontrollably. Naruto finally got a good look at her as she walked up to his bed. She had long brown hair that she kept back in a single ponytail or it would trail down to her feet, she was as tall as Tsunade and had about the same bust, the most noticeable thing about her though was her eyes they were a piercing blue. When she got over to where Naruto was she gathered green charka into her hand and ran it over his body effectively healing him.
"I repeat who are you?" Tsunade asked again but not as forcefully because she had just healed Naruto when no one else could.
"My name is Kanamae Hyorimaru; I'm the mother of Shigure and Naruto.
