I believe you get the general way this whole thing works so we can just skip past this whole how everybody speaks section.
I wish to rant for a moment about the stupidity of the latest manga chapters. WTF is wrong with this story. Sasuke broke Tsukiyomi... Bullshit. The fact that he's kicking Itachi's ass doesn't bother anyone else? I know there are others who think the same.
Last Time on Ninja Revelations! - High above the fight on the top of the stadium wall stood a man clad in a dark cloak. A few strands of dark hair were exposed underneath a bamboo hat, and his fingers were twitching with excitement at his sides. His pale eyes shone green with anticipation and were focused upon the arena below. A small smile was placed upon his face and his voice contained a tone of interest. "Excellent, now it begins"
You Heard the Man. Chapter Nine Begins… Now!
The crowd watched in silence as the two fighters stared each other down. Neither boy moved as muscle as they kept their eyes fixated on his opponent, each attempting to pry into the others mind and gain the psychological advantage. It was of little use though, these two boys, born and raised in the fires of battle and baptized in the blood of countless opponents were unyielding to give away even the slightest advantage, and would not surrender their wills freely. They could gain no insight from the eyes of the other, though it was not needed. They knew what the other wanted, for it was what they both wanted. The rush of battle, the racing of the heart when seeing the blood of another, to be pushed to the limit of their capabilities by one so like themselves, that was what they wanted and in this battle it was what they would receive.
Neither Naruto nor Gaara noticed as a strong wind picked up, blowing dust and sand into the air. The world around them mattered little and seemed to fade away leaving the two demons in a world of their own, unmoving as though waiting for some unknown signal. As the wind died down a small leaf fell down into the circle of rubble that had been their arena. The leaf floated softly riding the little remaining air falling towards its destination. It was now only a few centimeters from completing its journey back to the earth. Sadly for said leaf it would never make it, as right before it could touch the ground it caught fire and turned to ash. Heat filled the arena and all eyes rested on the source, one Uzumaki Naruto. The blonde's crimson eye's carried their own sadistic light as waves of blue and red energy burned madly around him, causing the arena to heat up drastically. The tattered remains of his orange jumpsuit and his blood-soaked golden hair blew furiously in reaction to the release of his power. The crowd was amazed at the raw amount of power the boy was producing. They knew the boy had an incredible amount of chakra but this was ridiculous. An entire Jounin squad would be hard pressed to create this much chakra! The only ones who were not in shock at the display were the red-haired Gaara and Naruto himself.
"Very good Uzumaki, the battle has not even truly started and yet you've already impressed me, that makes me even more exited for this. I hope you won't disappoint me." With that the Suna demon container disappeared. Naruto smirked and lazily raised his left hand just in time to intercept a punch meant for his face. Pushing his hand forward he threw his teal-eyed attacked across the arena, only for him to land on his feet, a smirk of his own covered his face. POP! Suddenly three identical Naruto's burst forth from the ground each aiming a kick towards Gaara's chest and head. The sand demon container bent back, dodged all three kicks. With a quick snap of his finger, three spikes erupted from the sand piercing each Naruto through the head only for them to burst into a cloud of smoke a moment after. He crossed his arms as he rose back up. "Hmm shadow clones, how … interesting, and you didn't even use hand seals, quite impressive. Though, if that's your only trick, then you may as well surrender to death now." Gaara quickly leapt into the air as his blonde counterpart struck towards him with a knee. Flipping forward the read-head responded with a falling kick towards the blonde. Naruto seeing Gaara's attack dodged with a backwards handspring, though the blonde was quickly on the move again, for as soon as his red-haired opponent's foot struck the earth a wave of sand shot out from the ground. The sand surge grew quickly and was soon a tidal wave of sediment so large it reached the cheap seats in the stadium, before it crashed down towards the blonde with all the force of an enraged sea.
Naruto, seeing no way to dodge the incoming mass, stood still and waited for the ocean of sand to meet him. The sand thundered down upon the blonde, and raged into the stands behind him. Civilian men, women, and children cried out in terror as the sand overtook them and buried them alive. Most of them would suffocate, others would be crushed to death by the weight of the sand, but none of this concerned Gaara. His mind was focused on his opponent. Naruto was quite powerful, and the chances of him surviving that were high. As the sand settled, Gaara's suspicions were proven correct. In the center of the wasteland stood Naruto, untouched by the sand, his pulsing weapon gripped in his hand. So surprised was Gaara that his opponent was untouched, he missed the sound of another clone appearing in front of him. The clone sent a fierce punch into the red-headed demon container's solar plexus, rocketing him into the stands behind him. Without wasting a second the real Naruto quickly slashed his blade in the direction of his downed opponent. A bright light shone out before a large crescent blade of sickening dark purple chakra exploded forth. Gaara returned to his senses in time to see the venomous blade approaching him at terrifying speeds. He crossed both arms into an X in front of his body, and sand shot from his gourd to form an incredibly thick wall to shield him from the attack.
The blade met the shield with an incredibly jarring boom, which shook the entire stadium and its occupants. The blonde psycho stared into the dust surveying the damage his attack had caused. When the smoke cleared the onlookers gasped. There stood Gaara, his clothes ruffled and dirtied, his hair covered with dirt, but completely uninjured, though the same could not be said for those who had been in that section of the arena. The area itself was completely destroyed; the walls cracked, the pillars shattered, and most of the stone had been turned to rubble and debris. Littered around the destroyed wasteland were bodies, dozens of bodies. The ones that had been struck by the initial attack from Naruto had been incinerated leaving nothing but charred outlines upon the stone. Many others had been killed by the following explosion; a few had died due to falling debris, one even had his entire skull crushed in when some falling rubble struck his head. Though not all of the bodies that littered the scene were corpses, a small number had survived the attack, though with the wounds they had suffered there was little hope of survival, all they could do was prey for a quicker death.
The scent of blood filled the arena, causing many survivors to gag and vomit, though the two demon containers were another story entirely. They inhaled deeply the scent of blood, enjoying the rush that it gave them, fueling their hunger for more, now they could officially stop playing and truly start this battle. "Gaara! It would seem you have quite a few tricks of your own to play with. This has been fun, but I think it's time we stop this warm up and get serious!"
The crowd was shocked. All this destruction and death and the two boys had been testing each other, they couldn't believe boys so young could hold such vast amount's of power.
(With the rookie nine)
The rookies couldn't believe their eyes. Their friend had caused extreme destruction, and he wasn't even at full strength!
"There's no way that Naruto got so strong, he was the idiot of our class. I know he has improved a lot since we graduated, but still there's no possible way to get so strong so fast. This is crazy, and beyond a little intimidating." Kiba's thoughts were beginning to scare him, being an Inuzuka his senses were beyond that of a normal human. His senses were absolutely out of control with the amount of power these two child behemoths were putting out in their attacks, and it was all he could do not to piss himself. Akamaru however, did not have that much self control, and released everything in his bladder. Considering Akamaru rides on top of Kiba's head, this did not mean good things for the dog-like person. "Damnit!"
"Naruto i-is so strong! I c-c-can't wait till he wins, and I can finally tell him how I feel. Then I can help him get out of those filthy clothes, and h-help wash the blood off of him, and then we can go and …." As usual the girl named Hinata Hyuuga's mind quickly fell into the gutter. (As if it ever left the gutter)
The young Shikimaru had a pensive look on his face and was paying apt attention to the battle before him. "What are you planning Naruto? I know you have some sort of plan for this, so what is it? If you're not careful you could take out a large part of Konoha! After this match you have a lot of explaining to do."
While all the rookies were deep in thought these ones were the only ones that held any real sort of relevance.
(With a Certain Special Jounin)
Miterashi Anko licked her lips savoring the small amount of blood that had managed to reach her. "You surprise me kid. This power of yours is incredible, I must have it! Until then keep spilling more delicious blood for me my pet. "She began to smirk seductively from her spot above the arena and turned back towards the fight.
(In The Kage Box)
The Sandaime Sarutobi was shocked, not about Naruto's power or ability, no he was shocked that he could care so little about such a loss of life. "Naruto, what happened to you? You used to be such a happy, caring boy and now look at you. You have no concern for human life, and seem to enjoy taking it. Did he really turn you into some kind of monster Naruto? It really was a mistake allowing him to be your sensei." The old man seemed to be in some sort of foul mood, though at who, none of the guards could tell.
The Kazekage though was thoroughly impressed with the two demon containers battle, though mostly with Naruto's part of the battle. "That confirms it! His attitude, his style, his incredible strength and even that technique that he used all show that there could be only once person who could have been his trainer! That makes the boy a lot more valuable than I first believed, and with his kind of power there would be no way anyone could stop us. I must have him join me before anyone else gets to him first.SSSSssssssssssssssssSSSSSSSSSSSssssss."
(Atop The Stadium)
With the dark clad man, he seemed quite amused if they shine in his pale eyes were anything to go on. The dark smile and blood lusting look in his eyes made his excitement that much more apparent. "Just a little bit more, and it will be time to begin. Soon, very soon." With that the man in the cloak again cast his attention towards the arena below him.
(Back In The Arena)
Gaara and Naruto had wasted no time resuming their fight. While the onlookers had been thinking they had been launching various attacks in hope of damaging each other. Kicks, punches, sword strikes, sand attacks, all with enough force to topple stone pillars, all going off at incredible speeds. To the onlookers it seemed they were mere blurs of motion. They would only catch the occasional glimpse of a hit or see them briefly before they were off again. Suddenly the red-headed sand demon container was sent rocketing backwards, accompanied by Naruto. The Suna genin was able to do a back-flip and right himself in the air, and quickly struck Naruto with a kick to the temple. Naruto staggered back, and then went up in a poof of smoke. "Damn Shadow Clones!" Gaara stood still for a moment searching for his opponent, before his eyes widened and he spun around quickly. Nartuo was within striking distance of him! This was no good, thinking quickly the teal eyed boy flicked his hand in the direction the blonde was coming from.
The audience gasped as the sound of piercing flesh sounded out from the arena.
Gaara's eyes opened wide in disbelief. The red haired deomon container slowly lowered his gaze in disbelief. Whether he was more surprised of the blood running from his chest, or the blade that it was being drawn to was impossible to tell. A choking chuckle from in front of him caused him to raise his head up, until his teal eyes locked with his opponent's crimson red gaze. His blond counterpart smirked softly and blood slowly began to trickle forth from out of his mouth, courtesy of the three inch diameter sand spear piercing his lung. He began to speak despite the blood and his voice seemed amused though strained. "Now Gaara the coin is still turning, it is time for us to see on which side it lands." Sending a fierce punch towards the teal eyed demon container Gaara, Naruto forced him back and off of his sword. Naruto tore the hardened spike of sand out of his chest, and seemed to be enjoying the pain it caused.
Gaara on the other hand, was definitely not enjoying his situation. He began to tremble, though whether from the shock, the pain , or from anger, it was difficult to tell. He gazed at the wound a moment before he let out a crazed and pained scream. "IT'S MY BLOOD!"
The members of the Suna Genin team and their Sensei Baki, were immediately worried. "Oh god he's going to let the Shukaku out early! This is bad! It could ruin the whole plan."
Suddenly a voiced rang out from the Kage box. "NOW!"
White feathers began to fall all around the stadium, and many civilians were put to sleep. An army of Suna and Oto ninja leapt out to battle the ninja of Konoha. A group of about a dozen Suna/Oto Jounin surrounded the blonde demon container, as the sand siblings grabbed Gaara and ran off to give him time to recover. This enraged Naruto as none were to come between him and his opponent. He readied his blade to slaughter the foolish ninja that dared stand in his way, when a flash of silver shone over his shoulder, and many of the ninja fell to the earth sliced into strips of flesh. Naruto turned to look at the source of the light, and saw a man of around six foot clad in a black cloak and a bamboo hat, smiling dementedly. The man turned his head to face the boy. "Hello child."
Naruto merely stared at the man a few moments before smirking. "Hello again… sensei."
