Opening Theme: Bomb A Head (First opening of Tenjou Tenge)

Chapter 10: Blind Vs Muneko

In a special room away from the ring, Naruto and Pandaman were being treated for their injuries. Tai Wan was doing most of the work, with Sakura helping if asked. For some reason, the medic ninja was content to watch how the Psychic Doctor worked. Off to the side, Kushina, Tayuya, and Yamato looked on. Wan was over by the bed Naruto was in.

"Okay," Wan ordered, putting his hand on Naruto's chest, "Now, bite down on that piece of plastic I gave you, this will hurt."

"Ooh-gay," Naruto said through the puck-shaped object, "Buh wh…"

Naruto suddenly felt a mighty force inside his body, and every one of his nerve cells screamed out in agony. Naruto bit down on the puck so hard it almost broke.

"Okay, that should do it," Wan said, removing his hand. "Just rest now."

"What did you do?!" cried Sakura, rushing to Naruto's side.

"I just popped some of his bones back into their proper joints," Wan explained. He pulled a teapot out from his coat and poured himself a cup. "If left alone, they would have caused him some serious problems later on."

Cringing, Naruto spat out the puck to look up at Wan and asked, "Why didn't you give me some anesthetic?"

"My policy is ninja don't get anesthetic." Wan replied shortly.

"What I want to know is how he did that." Yamato murmured.

"It's telekinesis," Kushina explained, "He can move stuff with his mind."

"Kushina!" Wan admonished, "Don't go telling assassins how I can do stuff! They might learn how to kill me!"

Kushina stuck her tongue at Wan.

"Well, can you tell me?" Sakura asked, "It wouldn't be wrong to trade secrets with a fellow medic, would it?"

"I wouldn't be so sure about that," Wan muttered, and said loudly, "But, since it won't do you any good, I suppose I will. See, what I do is flow my psychic power through a person's body, and I can tell immediately tell what's wrong- I can even sense things a normal X-ray would miss."

Sakura gasped. "And since your power is already in the patient's body, you can perform certain surgeries without having to open them up!"

"You catch on quick," Wan admitted, "Now if we can only do something about that violent streak, you'll have surpassed Tsunade…"

Before Sakura could demand to know what Wan meant about a violent streak, a strange, ringing filled the air.

"Someone's cookies are done." Kushina noted.

"No, that's the telephone," Wan sighed, and answered the appliance. "Hello?...Yeah, he's here." Wan handed the phone to Naruto. "It's for you."

Naruto took the phone. "Hello?"

"Naruto?"

Naruto blinked. "Lee?"

"Excellent match! I heard about it on the radio!"

"Thanks!" Naruto grinned. "How'd your match go? You won, right?"

"Well, no…"

"You lost!?" Naruto cried, then clutched his chest and groaned.

"No... It is not like that… It is just… they have not held my match yet. We are still waiting for the soccer game to end."

"Soccer game?"

Dattebayo

Sonson Fields. One of the most popular sport fields in the Land of Dragons, it had the honor of not just hosting two matches for the Dragon Belt, but the semifinal game in the Dragon Soccer League. While it was planned for the game to end at two, by some bizarre trick of sporting fate, the two times had tied by the final buzzer, and were now going into overtime.

Sitting on a bench of to the side, the B Block quaterfinalists, Kakashi, Sai, and some chick clinging onto Wong Sado watched the game.

"Go, Kashima." Sai cheered in monotone.

"Oh…" Naruto said slowly, "Well, good luck when it starts. Bye."

Naruto hung up. He stared into space until a roar of excitement grabbed his attention.

"What's that?" He asked, looking around.

"The next match," Yamato announced, checking his watch. "It's starting."

"It is? Crap! I gotta go!" Naruto was halfway from leaping out of bed when Wan's telekinesis forced him back down.

"You gotta sit still and rest." Wan ordered sternly.

"But I wanna watch the match!" Naruto whined.

He just wants to look at Muneko's jugs some more! Sakura thought angrily.

"Isn't there something we can do?" Yamato asked Wan, "He'll need to see who he fights in the semifinals."

Kushina snapped her fingers. "Hey, I've got an idea!"

Dattebayo

Five Minutes later, the gang was at ringside, including Naruto in his bed.

"Are you sure this is alright?" Sakura asked, looking around.

"Well, for us, sure," Kushina replied, "You and Yamato, however, better get back to your seats."

Before Sakura could respond to that, the lights went off, save for the ones around an entry way.

"Now entering from the south wing… From the Land of Wind… 'Sexy Girl'…MUNEKO!!"

Muneko, dressed in her visually appealing battle-outfit seen at the beginning of the preliminaries, strolled in. Practically every male in the audience went wild as she put every bounce and swivel in her steps. Upon reaching the ring, she turned around and leaned back against the ropes. Seeing Naruto, she winked and smacked her lips. Satisfied with the way Naruto blushed, Muneko back-flipped into the ring, landing in the center. The male side of the audience ate it up.

Sakura frowned, remembering the picture and article she had seen.

Meanwhile,the lights on another entryway lit up.

"Now entering from the north wing… From parts unknown… 'The Samurai'… Blind the Buddha!!"

Blind walked in slowly, tapping the floor with his cane, like blind man would. He did not get as many cheers as Muneko did, as most of the audience where trying to make sense of this masked oddball. After a slow and steady march, Blind bumped into the ring, causing some members of the audience to snicker.

Sakura frowned. Was this stumbling fool really the person who paralyzed her at the Land of Waves?

With some difficulty, Blind climbed into the ring, walking up to Muneko in the center.

Mr. Yowamushi, now sporting an eyepatch over where he got hit during the Naruto-Pandaman match, approached both of them.

"Gentlemen," He began, and then paused. Taking another look Muneko, he said, "People, you know the rules. There are no rules. This is to be a fight to the finish!"

As Mr. Yowamushi continued, Muneko gave her opponent a once-over. She wasn't sure what to think about this character… He had remained completely covered during the prelims, something she just couldn't get. And for all she knew, that stumbling earlier was just an act to lure her guard.

I think I better end this quickly Muneko decided, After all, it's not like we're on television now…why show off?

"Right, now shake hands, and come out fighting!" Mr. Yowamushi finished, and hurried away.

Muneko quickly moved on the offensive, delivering a punch Blind blocked. Not to be discouraged, Muneko followed up with a kick, but Blind blocked that as well.

"It looks like Blind and Muneko are equally matched! What a stalemate!"

Up in the audience, Ebizo watched the match with growing trepidation. Blind was reacting too well to Muneko's assault. Even if Blind had trained his ears to listen to the subtle sounds a person's body make when it moves, there was something off about the Buddha's movements.

It's almost as if he can see what Muneko is doing… He thought worriedly.

Back in the ring, Muneko was beginning to get annoyed with the stalemate. So far, all Blind had done was block, and the lack of action beyond that was getting to her.

This is getting nowhere… I'd better use the Blade of Wind, Muneko thought, and began to gather wind-chakra to her fingertips. It should be noted that her fingernails had been sharpened to resemble claws. Even if this joker blocks, the blade'l cut clear through! It'll be a bit messy… She stuck her tongue out. …But it is a fight to the finish.

Swinging her wind-powered hand, Muneko chopped at Blind…who not only dodged, but swung around her body, too! Meanwhile, the ropes in front of Muneko, as well as Mr. Yowamushi's belt, snapped in two. This caused Mr. Yowamushi's pants to drop, revealing whistle dotted boxers.

Muneko didn't care about the boxers. Whirling around, she saw Blind standing before her, his arms outstretched, fingers and thumbs put together, forming a triangle, equal to her stomach.

"Die." Blind said.

What the audience saw next was Muneko jolting horribly from some unknown force, before collapsing on the mat. Mr. Yowamushi stared at her fallen form, forgetting to hold up his pants.

"Don't bother."

Mr. Yowamushi looked at Blind, who had spoken just then.

"She won't be getting back up." Blind said calmly.

Wan was instantly in the ring. Touching Muneko, he concentrated. His eyes closed, then popped wide open.

"Oh my god!" He cried, and he and Muneko vanished from the ring.

"Uh… The winner, um, is Blind the Buddha… What just happened?"

Dattebayo

Later on, the Uzumakis, Tayuya, Sakura, Yamato, and Ebizo, were gathered outside the medical room Wan had holed himself up in.

Coming out, Wan wiped some sweat from his brow. "I've stabilized her condition, but it'll be a while before she can eat anything spicy. I'll have a full list of what not to eat by tonight."

"Doctor, tell me," Kushina asked, "What happened?"

"I'm not entirely sure," Wan admitted, scratching the back of his head. "It seemed like someone took an air cannon to her stomach. The damage is too deep for a normal bludgeoning tool to create. But even so…"

"What?" Sakura pressed.

"There are some spots that seem hurt, even though they weren't in range of Blind's attack, whatever it was," Wan said, "Almost as if they appeared in reaction… Did Muneko have any stomach surgery recently?" He looked to Ebizo for answers.

Ebizo thought for a moment before answering. "The most recent I can recall is a disorder she contracted about a year ago."

"So… What are you saying?" Naruto asked, "That Blind's attack brought that disorder back?"

"I'm not sure…maybe," Wan muttered, "If someone is seriously injured, the body might contain some physical memory, a subtle scar, especially if they weren't treated right. But I've never seen a scar that old get attacked so hard it would harm the rest of the body!"

Everyone stared at Wan. Naruto felt a cold sweat run down his forehead.

I'm in trouble… He thought.

A/n: Another one done! This wasn't too hard to write, as I already had the fight between Muneko and Blind planned out. As for their entrance songs, Muneko's is the opening theme song for the anime Mouse, while Blind's is the most recent opening for the Bleach anime. I got the idea for the entrances from certain videos on youtube, where a Kaixa913deno has created Smackdown vs Raw 2009 entrances with OCs that resemble Kinnikuman chars. Oh, and Sai's 'cheer' is a reference to an actual Japanese soccer team.

Next chapter, I'm gonna do Lee's match, so get ready!
