Naruto Uchiha: The Prophet with the Cursed Eyes

"Winner by death, Naruto Namikaze-Uzumaki-Uchiha…"

And there was an absolute silence inside of the Chunin Exam Stadium as everyone looked down at Naruto who was staring blankly at the corpse in front of him. Naruto waited for the seal to fade before he made his way to the booth for the remaining fighters with Suisei still perched happily on his shoulder. The civilians in the crowd who were filled with bigotry all sneered at the demon's display while the neutral and pro Naruto civilians just looked squeamish. The Genin in the stadium looked down at the dead Genin from Taki mostly with a deep frown as the reality of the ninja world hit them full force. The more seasoned shinobi however were very curious as to what Naruto had just pulled off especially Kushina who heard the name of the technique.

As Naruto climbed the steps of the dark stairwell he shook his head but it wasn't clear whether it was in amusement or annoyance. 'Kyuubi I believe you just caused me more problems with that fun of yours.' Naruto spoke mentally but there was no disdain or annoyance in his voice something the Kyuubi noticed. Naruto did know that a certain orange eyed girl did enjoy what the foolish Taki shinobi just went though.

"Oh but you told me that, that realm was where I had free reign and I decided to be the executioner. Anyways that fleshy bag was nothing more than trash and demon hater. Oh yes I definitely enjoyed showing him a true demon!" Naruto ignored the deep almost a maniacal chuckle from his resident demon as he made his way back into the booth. Ignoring all the attention on him Naruto made his way back to the rail. As Yugito passed she gave Naruto a frown probably not happy that he killed the boy. The reaction Naruto got from the Suna Jinchuuriki was polar opposite there was an approving gleam in those pale eyes of his.

Naruto blinked his cool blue eyes when he felt someone standing next to him but didn't say anything since he was not the one who wanted to talk. "What was that Naruto-san… if you don't mind me asking?" The voice he recognized as the Yuna girl from Iwa added on sheepishly when she realized it came out as a demand. Naruto looked at the diver helmet wearing kunoichi with his eyebrow arched behind his hanging bang. It was a technique that belonged to the Uzumaki but then again he doubted anyone in the exam could even replicate half of what was required to do the technique.

"That move uses the seal to trap an enemy within a different universe using mental energies. Whatever happens in this reality happens to the body in our reality. That kid died in there so he died out here." Naruto's voice was curt and it brought shivers down the spines of each Genin left in the booth just wondering what Naruto had concocted for the now deceased Taki shinobi. Naruto smirked when he could see the affect his words had on his remaining competition, mental warfare was just as important as physical. Naruto idly rubbed the back of Suisei's neck with his finger as the proctor started the match between his fellow Jinchuuriki.

Combat Field

Gaara stood there with a small grin as his arms slowly unfurled from in front of his chest as he looked across at the blonde kunoichi from Kumogakure. His Mother had told him that this girl was just like he was. The auburn haired Jinchuuriki then knew that he had to measure his existence against this girl. Then when he proved that his existence was stronger than her blood would join the collection that saturated his sand. Then an only then could Gaara say that he was alive and that no one could ever eliminate his existence. His existence would be validated by the blood of his foe.

Weary would be a gross injustice on describing how Yugito was feeling at being around the mentally unstable Genin from the Hidden Sand. The Nibi had told her that the One Tail was always a little unstable and was more than likely affecting the young shinobi. The bloodlust Gaara was emanating was physically unnerving and the feeling only intensified when she got closer to the epicenter, Gaara. Yugito could vividly remember how Gaara tried to kill… no exterminate each of his opponents thus far. Yugito didn't want to have to be put in the situation where she was the mercy of the bloodthirsty Jinchuuriki. Channeling the energy needed to her leg Yugito struck first. "Fire Release: Extreme Heat Whip!"

Gaara's bland eyes watched impassively as the stream of fire lashed towards him with murderous intent. Gaara didn't bat an eye as his sand flew from his gourd and shielded the young man from the heat and burns that the attack would result in. The chakra infused in the sand kept the fire from turning the sand into glass but Gaara in his battle manic mode didn't care in the least. Once the sand cleared from the shield Gaara commanded it to rush forth to quell his craving for the red life liquid of his enemy which the sand did faithfully.

Yugito much like the cat from Hell sealed inside of her hissed at her opponent's sand based attack. Sliding back as the sand crashed down after her, Yugito replaced herself leaving the sand to crush the log that took Yugito's place. Speeding forward Yugito tried to send a side kick towards Gaara's head but a wall of sand interfered. Cart wheeling back Yugito saved her shin from being turned to nothing as the sand attempted to grab her leg. Yugito frowned seeing just how formidable her opponent's defenses were. It was one thing to see it when he fought Lee but it was another thing entirely to experience the sheer stopping power fist hand.

The ground behind Gaara which was now firmly grinded into a fine powdery sand was being manipulated by the youngest of the Sand Waterfall siblings for his next attack. Yugito watched as the sand was elevated into the sky above as the original sand went back to defend its owner. The cloud of sand formed over head and small lumps started to form and project in the cloud. "Sand Drizzle." Then those lumps started to fall like small drops of rain drizzling on top of the blonde Jinchuuriki. These small drops though were much quicker and proved deadly when they cut into the ground.

Growling Yugito began the signs for her next jutsu and counter move to the sand styled rain cloud. "Fire Release: Hellcat's Stream!" A small, blue stream of fire shot out of Yugito's mouth swallowing up the drizzling sand and continuing on towards the cloud lingering above. Yugito's blue eyes watched on as a few glass orbs drop from her fire stream shattering upon contact with the ground. The fire quickly swirled around the cloud creating a blanket of glass that shined in the intense sunlight. Yugito leaped back to keep from being punctured by the falling, jagged glass while Gaara's sand just caught it and threw it at the wall which was where the proctor happened to be making Genma leap away.

The sand from Gaara's personal stock formed into small shuriken in front of him getting Yugito to tense in preparation for the upcoming barrage. The shuriken cut through the air with an alarming speed catching Yugito of guard which resulted in the cut she was now sporting on her cheek. Now aware of the velocity of the projectiles Yugito made use of her flexibility to deftly weave through the deadly sand based weaponry. Yugito growled slightly because Gaara had only taken maybe a step this entire fight while she had to be on the move almost constantly. 'That is indeed a fearsome defense. He doesn't even need to command it to defend like he needs to do for offense.'

Yugito's slitted eyes narrowed at Gaara trying to find some way to break through that absolute defense she had heard about. The blonde knew Taijutsu wouldn't be possible since the sand would just crush any appendage that it would catch. Genjutsu while a viable option to defeat Gaara and his tunnel vision was out of reach because of her status as a Jinchuuriki. She didn't know Fuinjutsu like Naruto so that left her with Ninjutsu. "Fire Release: Spindle Flames!" A small jet of fire came from Yugito's mouth spinning until it hit its point where it speared out right towards the sand defense.

Gaara didn't even show any worry as a wall of sand went up in front of him stopping the flames a few feet short of hitting him. Gaara's eyes widened momentarily when he saw the sand glow but the Suna Nin quickly acted reinforcing the sand before it could be destroyed. The sand filtered away so Yugito could see the grin Gaara was wearing getting her to raise an eyebrow out of curiosity. "Kitten get down!" Not questioning her companion Yugito dropped to all fours like a cat and not a moment later the shuriken she dodged earlier came flying over her. The sand shuriken kept on going until it reached the auburn haired boy's sand where it harmlessly formed back into the mother source.

Yugito got back onto her feet and wiped the small amount of sweat that adorned her brow while Gaara just looked on with a slight frown.

In The Stands

"Man they haven't even spoken all that much and this is so damn intense!" Kiba shouted wiping his brow with his sleeve getting a nod from his teammates and a yelp of agreement from his ninja hound partner. Kiba may be gung ho when it came to proving himself but in this case he was glad that he wasn't fighting.

"Kiba what did I say about your language." Kurenai scolded her loud mouthed student getting him to shrink under her disapproving glare and gulp nervously. Having lived with a rough mother and elder sister Kiba learned a healthy fear of women.

"Man am I glad I gave up fighting after that Chojuro match. It would be too troublesome." Shikamaru drawled out with a sigh as he watched on as the clouds just drifted on by ignoring the glare from his blonde teammate but decided not to say anything referring to a certain troublesome blonde.

"Shika why can't you be more like-" Ino's insult and comparison was cut off by an annoyed Shikamaru who took his eyes from the clouds to snap towards the Yamanaka next to him.

"Like your Sasuke? He got beat in the first round and easily." Shikamaru asked with a slight distaste in his mouth and the mention of the village's most arrogant Genin getting a small chuckle from Choji who pulled out another bag of chips to much on while he watched the competition proceed.

Ino frowned at her lazy friend but couldn't dispute that Sasuke did get beat pretty severely in everything he was thought to be good at. That brought up another question in her mind and that was just who was Naruto really. Because it was clear that no one in the stadium knew just what Naruto was capable of.

Combatant Booth

Naruto watched his fellow Jinchuuriki with his analytic blue eyes as they traded jutsu with no one coming on top. While Yugito had the speed and flexibility to avoid Gaara's jutsu Gaara had the pure stopping power to keep Yugito from gaining an advantage. But he knew Gaara was expelling less energy than Yugito was because he had moved less and his sand seemed to act on its own, possibly sentient. Yet the scorned shinobi knew that neither would run out of energy soon seeing as they were both Jinchuuriki.

"They look pretty even." Narumi said aloud watching the two shinobi going back and forth with their jutsu. The only real damage were the few superficial cuts from Gaara's sand shuriken but those had since closed up. Naomi seemed to agree with her if the nodding she was doing was anything to indicate her opinion.

"No it seems Yugito-san is at the disadvantage here." Haku's soft voice got the attention of the shinobi in the booth sans Naruto. "While it may seem like they are even Yugito has been forced to use a lot more energy while Gaara hasn't even been forced to take a step back." A look of realization crossed the faces of most of the Genin as they thought back on the fight so far.

"Well this should be interesting then!" Yuna added with a small amount of excitement in her calm voice.

Combat Field

Yugito shot forward with her claws extended so that she wouldn't have to risk being sucked in by Gaara's sand. Swaying to the left and shuffling her feet Yugito avoided a burst of sand Gaara sent after her. Only a few feet from reaching her opponent Yugito lunged forward but Gaara's sand countered and swallowed her wrist before she could try and carve through the grains of sand. 'Nibi I need your chakra around my arm before he shatters it!' Yugito called out mentally getting the immediate response of a red cloak of Yokai. Using the small boost in strength granted by the malevolent energy Yugito wrenched her hand free and skit backwards. Gaara's brow furrowed as yet again the nuisance across from him refused to forfeit her existence.

Gaara called on all of his personal reserve of sand and mixed it with the ground below him multiplying the amount of sand he had at his command. Gaara moved his hands forward and the wave of sand slowly crawled forward. "Infinite Sand Tsunami." The crowd was in awe at the magnitude of the young Jinchuuriki's jutsu as it threatened to crash down on Yugito. Yugito turned around and ran as fast as she could muster towards the far wall of the stadium. Getting close enough Yugito leaped high onto the wall and stuck to the surface with chakra on the soles of her feet. The dull roar of the sand crashing on the ground drown out any of the small sounds coming from cheering or clapping crowd members.

Yugito watched from the safety of the wall as the sand washed up and slammed into the wall beneath her sending a strong vibration through her body. Slowly the sandy powder sank back into the sold part of the ground letting Yugito know that it was always lingering just below. Yugito flexed her hands and reinforced her claws with some chakra making sure they were strong enough for her next move because if they weren't then she would be left in a compromising situation. Channeling some extra chakra to her legs Yugito kicked off of the wall and towards Gaara with her claws together in front of her head. "Spiraling Claw…"

Yugito's whole body began to spin clockwise, with each spin the speed behind her body increased as did the speed of the spin. The claws linked up with each other to form one white torpedo like tip that was aimed and bearing down on Gaara. The sand shield was quick enough to bring itself to Gaara's defense but the power and velocity behind the spin tore through the shield. Yugito grinned when she felt her claws digging into Gaara but her celebratory grin was cut off when she heard a dark chuckle from Gaara. Yugito looked up and her eyes went from confident to alarm when she saw she only managed to break into Gaara's Sand Armor.

The sand Yugito broke through swarmed violently on each side of the Kumogakure kunoichi and suddenly slammed into each side of her. Thankfully for Yugito she managed to avoid the painful experience by flipping back and out of the close range of Gaara and his sand. Panting slightly Yugito got back to her feet watching as the sand near Gaara's heart fell away long since doing its job of absorbing the impact of her last attack. As infuriating as it was Yugito could admit silently that maybe there was something to calling Gaara's techniques the Absolute Defense. However, the kunoichi knew now was not the time to admire an enemy she was currently in combat with.

Gaara was reading his next move when he heard the voice that chilled his blood every time it spoke. "Gaara what is taking so long to kill her?!" An angry voice bellowed out inside of the auburn haired Suna Nin's head making his eyes get a few more degree cooler.

'I'm going to kill her Mother just please be patient. It won't take much longer.' Gaara's usual dark voice sounded nothing more like a child seeking acceptance. Gaara was able to stop from cringing when he heard a deep scoff from the recesses of his mind. Gaara waited what seemed to be a millennia before he got a response from his Mother.

"Gaara you don't want to make me angry, your Mother but that's okay because you can use my power to kill this nuisance… just like always." The voice sent a very disturbing coo to its container but Gaara's mind was too distorted to be unnerved by this instead he grinned because it was finally time to prove just why he existed.

The sand that swirled around Gaara suddenly came to a halt and hardened around Gaara forming a cocoon around the boy. Just as the dome was about to close the last thing Yugito could see was Gaara's sickening grin. Then inside of the sphere of sand Gaara's chakra started to get more potent and more demonic getting some alarm bells to go off inside of the Two Tails' head. "Kitten you need to give up and do it now before he can transform!" Yugito's blue eyes widened in shock hearing that Gaara planned on transforming.

'But even if I can't handle two tails of Yokai I can still manage one just like he can shouldn't that be enough?' Yugito asked because she trained with her sensei Bee just so she could call upon the Nibi as a hidden ace and this would seem like the perfect time to call on that little extra. Yugito frowned when she felt the Nibi shake her head negatively but she would wait for an explanation.

"Kitten if you maximized the amount of the second tail of Yokai you would transform into my body. That is what that boy is doing now… and a full blown Shukaku is much stronger than your One Tail state. This is a losing fight." The Two Tails informed her container regretfully since she knew just how much she wanted to prove herself but she wouldn't let Yugito get killed because of a need for validation.

Yugito nodded her head and looked over to Genma and raised her hand to get his attention which she did. "I give up. You might want to stop him Proctor-san." Yugito warned the Leaf Jounin before she used a Shunshin to get to the stands where the rest of her team was staying.

"Gaara that is enough the match is over!" A deep booming voice came down from the higher echelon of the Chunin Exam Stadium getting the sand to freeze any movement. Gaara's sand slowly retreated into his gourd and Gaara glared up at his father before disappearing in a Sand Shunshin.

Combatant Booth

The Sand Shunshin that filled the booth signaled the arrival of the victorious combatant from Kaze no Kuni. The remaining Genin wasted no time in giving Gaara a wide berth out of fear or caution. Gaara looked over to see was the only one to not move was Naruto who didn't even seemed bothered by his presence. It was different from anything Gaara had ever experienced and it confused him. Ignoring his emotions Gaara walked over and stood between Naruto and the wall without so much as a word. Narumi was glancing towards her brother slightly worried by how close he was to the dangerous entity form Sunagakure.

The blonde daughter of the Hokage shook off her concern in favor for silently cheering for sister as she made her way down to fight the kunoichi from Iwagakure. The girl had proven herself to be proficient with water style Ninjutsu as well as in the field of Genjutsu. The girl was a serious kunoichi and would prove to be a strong challenge for her sister. Though she was also trying to come up with a way to combat Haku who proved she was very capable as well. Narumi sighed because the path to Chunin was clearly not an easy one.

Chojuro was also thinking about his next fight against Naruto, one would think that having dueled with each other once already would help but there was the game changer… the Sharingan. The duel in Nami no Kuni was just that a duel between swordsmen but this next fight would be between ninja swordsmen and he knew it. He would give it his best shot of course but the blue haired teen had to wonder if it would be enough against the renowned power of the Uchiha Clan. Chojuro subconsciously went to reach for the hilt of his Hiramekarei but caught himself at the last moment and got ready to watch the next match.

Naruto was silently creating an inventory of the dwindling number of opponents that were left in the tournament. There was the indomitable Jinchuuriki from Suna, his sisters, the mystery girl from Iwa, a Ninja Swordsmen from the Hidden Mist, and an Ice Release User. Each opponent had their strengths just like they had their weaknesses. While Naruto didn't care who won this next match he did hope to learn more about Yuna's capabilities and who better than his more tenacious sister to do that. Naruto closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again revealing his Sharingan alive and spinning. Naruto didn't believe in copying Ninjutsu just like Itachi but it did help in dissecting and understanding the jutsu thus helping to find the weakness.

Combat Field

Naomi looked to Yuna with a beaming smile as she bounced on the heels of her feet and the two Nin around her could feel the excitement rolling off of her. Yuna too was hoping for another fight with a serious kunoichi just like her last fight with Fu. "I hope we can have a good fight Yuna-san! Because then when I win it will be all the more impressive!" Naomi said with a cheeky grin getting a small chuckle from the Iwa kunoichi. It was the same thing Yuna was thinking so she couldn't find it in her to call out the confidence behind that statement.

"I was thinking the same but of course I don't plan on losing here either. I want to keep going and win the whole thing!" Yuna said with her own bravado coming through getting an understanding nod from her excitable opponent. It was then that both fighters knew that they would be in for an excellent fight because neither would be giving in easily. It didn't have to be a fight to the death like the one only two matches ago but it was going to be a tough one that would make both kunoichi stronger in the end. It was their kind of fight…

Having enough with the prefight banter Naomi went through a series of signs at a moderate speed ending on the Ram sign with a small smirk. "Wind Release: Godly Wind from the Mountain!" A vortex of wind blasted forth from Naomi's hands straight towards Yuna who was too close to the Namikaze-Uzumaki to avoid it. Biting down on her tongue Yuna brought her forearms up to take most of the damage from the sudden wind attack. Naomi lowered herself into her defensive Taijutsu stance fully anticipating a counter strike from Yuna, Yuna getting into a readied stance of her own glared at Naomi for getting the first strike in.

Taking a handful of shuriken Yuna flicked her wrist in an effortless motion sending a wave of black spinning stars. Naomi scoffed and waved her palm sending the trajectory of each shuriken off track just enough to make them miss comfortably. Naomi blocked a fist from Yuna with her forearms and ducked the follow up kick aimed at her head. Using her lowered stance Naomi drove the point of her elbow into Yuna's gut but the attack was easily batted away by Yuna. With her balance slightly disturbed Naomi didn't have the chance of blocking a knee strike to her ribcage making her groan slightly.

Naomi replied with a quick hook towards Yuna's throat but Yuna was quicker and slid away from her opponent creating space between the two. Yuna gave a small smirk of her own as she began to go through her signs. "Poison Release: Cloud of Toxins!" Yuna's mouth spewed a ghastly cloud of purple smoke that the air currents carried towards a startled Naomi who hadn't seen a technique like that before. Naomi leaped back but the cloud of poison continued to steadily make progress towards her. Naomi really did not wish to test the limits of her lungs by holding her breath so she needed to clear the air.

The Konoha Princess' hands ending with the snake seal took a firm stance as a strong squall blew over Naomi's shoulders at hit the cloud of poison head on. The upward current of wind knocked the cloud poison into the sky overhead where the chakra infused wind scattered the poison harmlessly into the atmosphere where it became too diluted to be effective. Naomi took a moment to sigh in relief since that stuff look pretty nasty to her. Despite having the Yin half of the Kyuubi's chakra there was no intelligent conscious to use the chakra and filter out the poison if she ingested any of it.

"You did good to keep the poison away from your lungs but how will you stop this technique I wonder? Poison Release: Venomous Serpent!" Instead of the cloud of purple smoke this time a purple liquid formed the body of what ended up being a menacing snake. Naomi took a step back at the sight of the poisonous snake opening its mouth literally baring its fangs. Coiling around Yuna the snake hissed then lunged at a Naomi who brought her hand up into the clone seal creating a Kage Bunshin that saved Naomi by throwing her off to the side and out of the range of the snake's jaw.

'What do I need to do to kill that thing? It probably can form back if its body is made of a liquid and that is a problem. I guess I can try this…' Creating three more Shadow Clones Naomi had them put their hands near the side of its body while it tried to reform its head. The three clones started to redo the first step of Wind Manipulation but using the snake's body instead of a leaf. It took a few moments even with three clones but eventually a clean cut appeared down the center of the poison snake leaving the two halves to splash down on the ground. The three clones then dispelled with pleased grins on their faces.

Yuna raised one of her eyebrows when she saw her snake just get split down the center ignoring her confusion Yuna held her last sign and channeled some chakra and the snake started to reform. Naomi appeared behind Yuna and kicked the Iwa kunoichi straight in the back sending her crashing forth releasing her hold on the jutsu. Naomi grinned at Yuna when she got up and sent a glare her way. Yuna rubbed the swell of her back before dropping back into a more alert posture. Yuna was glad that Naomi had not disappointed her by not providing a challenge because this was what she came here for.

"Oh I was totally right about you being a good fight! After my first fight I wasn't sure what to expect after fighting that Oto girl but you and Fu have really made this trip worth it!" Yuna said happily as she rolled her left shoulder with a large grin. Yuna taking a few moments to take a breather which Naomi did as well looked back at her opponent.

"The feeling is mutual! I haven't had this good of a fight since I had an intense spar with my sister after our first A-Rank mission!" Naomi admitted cracking her knuckled with an excited grin plastered on her face. Her violet eyes were alive with happiness and an intense determination. She wouldn't lose because this was just too much of a fun battle for it to end with a loss.

Combatant Booth

Naruto watched on keenly as Yuna created her poison jutsu noting how she changed the state from gas to liquid seamlessly. It was different from the few people he had encountered with Poison Release who just stuck to using it as a cloud of smoke but then again they didn't call it the Poison Release. If anything Naruto was glad that Naomi forced more information out of Yuna because it was slowly making the picture all the more clear.

Narumi tightened her grip on the railing as she watched her sister avoid the hazardous snake of poison by using her Kage Bunshin. Her lips twitched up into a smile when she used her training in splitting a leaf to cut the serpent in half giving her time to strike at Yuna. Her worry was washed away when her sister's eager attitude came back full force even in the middle of her fight despite the danger.

Haku glanced down to see how the snake was consisting of a liquid substance that made the ice wielder wonder if she could possibly freeze that liquid. Then there was Naomi who was using wind that could possibly cut through her ice mirrors now that she actually had some training in the element. Just like Samui's storm element was dangerous but was beatable because of Haku's advantage in wind over lightning.

Gaara looked down at the two fighting in the arena and was making plans on how to kill them should either of them end up fighting him. Their blood no matter whose it was would run across his sand because both he and his Mother were tired of being denied the blood they craved, the blood that would validate them.

Naruto shook his head when Suisei asked him who he thought would win since unlike others Naruto would refuse to jump to conclusions on a blind faith. He didn't have the proper information on either of the fighters so any judgment was reserved for a latter time in the future.

Combat Field

Naomi flowed her chakra to her right hand creating a small blue chakra flame but that was just the way the chakra showed it was present. An exact copy of Naomi came into existence and started to claw the space over the energy randomly compressing into a spiraling sphere of chakra. The citizens of Konohagakure cheered seeing one of their princesses using the fabled jutsu of their beloved Hokage not that Naomi or Minato really cared for their praise after their ugly display on day two. Naomi grinned and burst off her back foot accelerating quickly enough to close the distance between she and Yuna.

"Rasengan!" Naomi drove the spiraling ball of pure chakra into Yuna driving her into the ground with a powerful force. The ground exploded behind the powerful blast knocking dust and rocks into the air around Naomi hiding her from view. When the smoke cleared Naomi was on the ground with her palm inside of a crater created by the powerful technique. Naomi sighed and ran a hand through her vibrant, red locks looking around for Yuna. Getting back on to her feet Naomi turned around and was looking at a smirking Yuna who showed no signs of damage from the spiraling sphere of chakra.

"Phew that was a close one! You almost got me because I froze seeing the jutsu of your Father but then again I had time because it wasn't in a flash. Lucky me…" Yuna muttered sarcastically as she brushed off her shoulders ignoring the small glare from Naomi for brushing off her most damaging technique. Yuna seeing the glare she was on the receiving end of waved her hand shooing away the glare without much of a thought. "Don't be like that. I am only being honest seriously why everyone so tense in things like this is?" Yuna asked with a small sigh as Naomi didn't relent with her glare.

"I can tell you really want to shut me up so why don't you come and try it?" Yuna goaded Naomi with a cheeky grin getting a growl from her red headed opponent. Yuna didn't have to wait long as Naomi rushed forward with her fist cocked back ready to do harm to Yuna. Yuna easily leaned back avoiding the fist thrown at her neck but was blindsided by a kick to the ribs making her wince from the jarring impact. Yuna slammed her elbow against the shin of Naomi making her cry out in pain and retract her shin.

Naomi twirled around and threw three punches into the ribs on the other side of Yuna's body with a ferocious intensity. Hissing in pain at the first few punches Yuna turned to face Naomi and caught her fist smashing her helmet against Naomi's head taking advantage of her headwear. Naomi stumbled back a few steps and would have fell over if Yuna wasn't holding her up by the arm so that she could deliver a rising strike to her gut. Naomi lurched forward gasping as the air left her lung not wanting to be a punching back Naomi stomped on Yuna's foot making her leg buckle under the pain. Naomi took her opponent from Iwagakure's wrist and twisted it making her cry out in pain thus freeing her own arm.

Each kunoichi took a pause to nurse the sore areas on their bodies from their opponent's strikes during the hand to hand exchange. Naomi wondered what she could use to put down Yuna because aside from her Playground of the Twister jutsu but that would take too long to set up and Yuna wouldn't give her the time she would need. The Rasengan was an option for a quick knockout but she would need to use a distraction or Yuna could easily avoid the wide motion of the chakra sphere. 'Well I need a distraction so I guess I will need to use some Shadow Clones…'

Yuna whose hands were resting on her sides also was going over how she could end this fight before she had to use more chakra. It was clear that Naomi had a counter to both her Poison and Water Release by utilizing the wind element's cutting properties. Sighing in disappointment Yuna brought her hands up to the tubes that had green liquid flowing through them lodged in the docking ports in her helmet. Twisting them free she pointed the ends towards Naomi who had stopped just before she had to make a quick dash to avoid whatever Yuna was planning. Flaring her chakra the Poison Release user sent the green liquid shooting from the tubes towards Naomi. "Acid Release: Abrasive Imprisonment."

The acidic liquid quickly formed into a circular dome like jail cell that surrounded Naomi keeping her in place glancing around hurriedly for a means to escape. The green liquid dropped onto the ground instantly killing any grass that it came in contact with. "You should be very careful in there Namikaze-san any drop from the acid will burn straight to the bones." Yuna's singsong voice caught the attention of her prisoner. True to her word a small drip landed on her ninja sandal and slowly began eating at the fabric. Acting quickly Naomi removed the shoe before the acid hit her skin.

Naomi thought about blasting the acidic structure with her wind but then realized that it would spread the acid and possibly hit her body which most certainly be fatal. Naomi saw the drops were getting larger and more frequent meaning she didn't have time to formulate a plan. Sighing softly Naomi raised her voice that she could be heard. "I forfeit." Yuna nodded her head approvingly and the acidic structure lost its chakra and it slowly lost its green hue till it was just water. Naomi let out a relieved breath and stepped over the puddle of water towards Yuna where they shook hands with a promise to fight once more of course under more friendly circumstances.

"Winner by forfeit, Yuna Neira!"

Kage Booth

"That was an excellent match if I must say so." Came the proud voice of the wise, elderly Earth Shadow who saw no reason to try and hide his nationalistic pride seeing how one of his own beat one of the Yellow Flash's daughters in Konoha. Closing his eyes the Tsuchikage nodded his head in agreement with his own statement.

"Tsuchikage-dono may I ask for you to explain what the Acid Release is? I mean you did have me explain young Kakugyo's abilities." Mei finished with a polite smile as she looked over towards her peer from the Land of Earth. The Tsuchikage grumbled cursing his own curiosity but found no harm in some gloating.

"Yuna's father came from the clan of Poison Release users here in Hi no Kuni. He settled within our village and married a Jounin woman who had a fairly power water affinity. The two genetics linked where the ratio of poison to water ended up creating the Acid Release." The Tsuchikage gave the bare minimum of the story not finding the need to tell them that Yuna was not in a clan. It wouldn't hurt to let his peers believe that there were more Acid Release users living in Iwagakure.

Minato released a small sigh clearly disappointed that his daughter had lost but was glad that she was unharmed. A victory or a loss meant nothing if the safety of his daughter came into question. "It looks like Naomi just ran into an unknown factor that she couldn't adapt to."

The Raikage grunted in agreement with his rival for the title of fastest shinobi as he looked on barely paying attention since he no longer had the proverbial horse in the race. The Raikage glanced over to the blonde Hokage with a small smirk. "Yes your daughters are quite skilled just like that son of yours. At least those two just don't kill helpless Genin eh?" The Raikage took a small shot at Minato hoping to rile him up.

Sadly for Ay the Kazekage added his opinion into the idle chatter before Minato could give his response to his words. "You call him a killer but I call him a shinobi." The Kazekage said with his perpetual scowl. The Wind Shadow was impressed that Naruto at his age was able to go to such extents. Leaving opponents alive often led to enemies and regrets in the future.

Minato chuckled at Ay's disgruntled expression clearly not appreciating the timing of the Kazekage's interjection.

Combat Field

"It seems we have to do combat once more Narumi-san." Haku's soft voice was friendly seeing as how the fighting had yet to start. Haku kept Snowfall on her hip because she knew that she was going to be in a long range fight where her blade would be of no use. Rushing in with the sword to force her style on Narumi would also lead to a quick defeat.

"That it does Haku-san. At least this time it isn't a fight to the death because of a scummy businessman though." Narumi added with a soft chuckle remembering just how money could change the dynamics of everything. Money could even put those in a position of power in a bind by someone who otherwise would hold no influence.

"I think it is time we start our match." Haku's friendly visage turned more frigid going into her hunter Nin persona getting Narumi to become more serious as well. Reaching into her pouch and arming herself with senbon needles Haku wasted no time in flinging them at Narumi. Already familiar with Haku's weapon of choice instead of trying to deflect the needles Narumi used a Shunshin to appear on Haku's left side. Haku whirled around and watched as Narumi pushed forward with a kunai in each of her hands obviously ready to use them. Narumi raised each kunai ready to bury them in each of Haku's shoulders.

Haku stomped her foot on the ground kicking up the water puddle left over by Yuna into the air forming a shield cylinder around her. "Water Release: Water Pulse." Narumi cried out in surprise as her body was pushed back by the water sending her tumbling to the ground. Getting back to her feet no longer armed with her kunai Narumi looked up to see Haku looking at her coldly she growled. Narumi recalled her battle in Nami no Kuni with Haku and knew that if she got caught in the ice mirrors she would be in trouble. Shaking her head Narumi focused back in on the present.

"Water Release: Water Javelin!" Narumi made use of the water already provided using her chakra using the water to make a deadly javelin. With a flick of the wrist the javelin sped forward towards Haku and when it looked like it would hit her, the Ice Release user jumped back into an Ice Mirror that she created to make a quick escape. Narumi tensed seeing the reflection of the Kiri kunoichi in the mirror like she was the first time in Nami. Slowly the upper half of Haku's frame came out of the mirror as needles of water levitated in front of her.

"Hyoton: Ice Needles of Death." The needles of water quickly froze over creating deadly ice needles that Narumi knew all too well. The frozen needles flew towards Narumi who tried to roll out of their path but the speed behind the projectiles was too great leaving a few needles stuck in her arm. Hissing to herself Narumi pulled the needles out of her arm throwing them to the ground where they shattered into an icy dust that would be quite beautiful if they hadn't tried to kill her moments prior. Cracking her neck Narumi regarded the Ice Kunoichi with a heated glare not happy being a pin cushion.

Haku propelled out of the ice mirror towards Narumi throwing an open palm strike at the Konoha Nin's neck. Narumi managed to maneuver herself so that the blow only hit her shoulder providing a minor discomfort. Narumi manipulated her hair to wrap around Haku's waist pulling her into an uppercut delivered to Haku's delicate jaw. Haku's head snapped backwards then she was slammed into the earth below the two by Narumi's blonde hair. Just when Narumi thought Haku to be incapacitated the fake Hunter Nin launched the soles of her feet into Narumi's stomach sending kunoichi into the air. Haku jumped away creating space as Narumi landed back on her feet holding her stomach with a small glare. The two kunoichi continued their silent standoff.

Haku threw another handful of senbon towards Narumi with a frightening accuracy striking Narumi in spots that disabled her left arm. Another handful of senbon were lodged into the blonde's right leg dropping her to a knee. Haku put away the other senbon that she planned on using in case her aim was off. Walking up to Narumi Haku gave her a hopeful smile as she got closer. "I would recommend that you give up Narumi-san this way I won't have to hurt you any further." Haku advised hopefully not wanting to cause any lasting damage to the kunoichi in front of her.

"Oh you mean this? This is nothing really." Narumi said with a labored chuckle as if she hadn't had twenty or so senbon sticking out of her body. Haku frowned at what she perceived to be useless stubbornness. Each of the senbon needles struck chakra points and nerves to shut down the muscles in her arm and leg.

Not saying another word Narumi held a hand sign and closed her eyes to enhance her concentration. Soon a faint red glow wavered off of the Hokage's daughter as tapped into the Yang chakra of the Kyuubi healing all of her minor nerve pinches and chakra points. Haku who still was unaware of what Narumi was doing was left vulnerable to the sudden uppercut and jarring kick that sent her tumbling away with a cry of pain. Haku looked into the sky her face scrunching up in pain as she gently rubbed the bruise she felt on her delicate jaw.

Narumi stood there with a victorious smirk on her face as she waited for Haku to get back on to her feet. Haku looked over at Narumi with her brows furrowed and a confused expression on her face. Narumi ignored this in favor of smirking at the girl and running her hand through her hair enjoying the confusion on Haku's face. "Now what was that about this being over?"

In The Stands

"Go Narumi-chan!" Kushina and Naomi both shouted in the same exuberant voice as they stood on their feet cheering for their family member to come out victorious in her fight. It was clear to the other Konoha Genin just who Naomi took after out of her parents. Kakashi just eye smiled used to excitable Namikaze-Uzumakis.

Gai and Lee were both looking at the two shouting women with fiery expressions both spandex wearing shinobi clenching their fists. TenTen and Neji both inched away already knowing what was coming from their teammate and Sensei. "Yosh they are both so youthful Gai-sensei!" Lee cried out passionately getting an equally positive response from the youthful Jounin.

"Narumi has gotten a lot stronger since the mission to Wave. Before not even the three of them could really harm Haku-san but now she can hold her off all on her own." Sakura commented seeing just how much her teammate had grown over the past few months. It also fueled her desire to train more with Shizune and Tsunade once her arm was healed up efficiently.

Jiraiya who was still lingering around the top ring of the stadium was glancing down towards his Goddaughter with pride gleaming in his eyes but was still watching each and every mistake she was making so that they could begin to correct what could be exploited. But let it be said that the white haired man still really wanted to perform his research.

Combat Field

Narumi and Haku both were slouching slightly as they tried to catch their breath after another intense exchange between the two. Narumi was thinking just what she needed to do to catch the speedy kunoichi while Haku was wondering what she had that was strong enough to put down Narumi. Both decided they needed more time and lunged forward throwing a fist but one's strike was blocked by the other's fist creating a slight cracking noise. Both girls winced and leapt backwards trying to shake the feeling back into their fists. Taking a deep breath both girls knew that any more Taijutsu would be a pointless endeavor.

Narumi started to gather her chakra to call on her next move which she hoped would catch Haku disabling her. Going through the seals needed to form the jutsu she would use for her next move. "Water Release: Water Dragon!" The dragon released a watery roar that sounded like a deep gargle before speeding forward to trap Haku within its maw. Narumi eased herself onto one knee watching as her watery creation was brought forward with a driving force. Haku gasped and used a Shunshin at the last possible moment making the dragon splash into the ground losing its head.

Haku came back into Narumi's vision on the other end of the stadium with her eyes half glaring at the dragon as it formed back and went back to swaying behind Narumi's back. Haku ignored the intimidating sight as she went through her own hand signs at a furious pace in an attempt to protect herself. "Hyoton: Tundra Dragon!" Much like Narumi's water dragon a light blue dragon made of ice started to be crafted behind Haku's back. The dragon howled forcing an icy breath up into the sky making the spectators on the rail shiver from the temperature drop.

The Ice Princess locked eyes with one of Konoha's Guardian Princesses both showing a tremendous amount of determination in their respective eyes. The water dragon released a watery growl which the ice dragon responded with another chilling roar. Whereas the water dragon's movement was followed by a swish the ice dragon's body scratched on itself. Both dragons launched from their coiled positions at the same time rushing for a collision in the center of the field. Just when it looked as if there would be a tremendous collision the more agile water dragon spiraled around the ice dragon continuing on towards Haku leaving the ice dragon on a straight beeline for Narumi.

There were simultaneous crashes as each dragon slammed into the wall opposite of them shrouding the impact site in a wall of smoke. The crowd held their breath as they waited for the field to clear to see who won the final collision. When the smoke cleared there was a collective gasp as both Narumi and Haku were lying on their chests unconscious. The Kumo kunoichi who was the proctor of the match checked on both of them before signaling for the medics to come on to the field. Clearing her throat she raised both of her arms into the air getting the audience to quiet down. "The match ends in a draw!"

Combatant Booth

Naruto rolled his shoulders getting annoyed caw from Suisei which made him roll his eyes that were still burning with the Sharingan. Once the combat field was cleared away Naruto walked past the other three people in the booth and down the staircase. Chojuro watched Naruto disappear and gulped silently because he could feel the intensity radiating off of the Hokage's son. Steeling himself the blue haired swordsman followed after his fellow swordsman ready to do battle.

Yuna who was pretty much recovered from her fight with Naomi glanced over to the other end of the booth where Gaara stood. The Acid Release user stood on guard since it was just she and Gaara and the Jinchuuriki was clearly unstable and could attack her at any moment. 'Just great they had to knock each other out last match and leave me alone with the psychopath.'

Gaara paid absolutely no mind to the kunoichi who was sharing the booth with him instead keeping his gaze firmly on Naruto. The auburn haired boy didn't know what it was about Naruto that put him at ease but now Naruto would be able to prove himself in this match by winning that was the only acceptable result in Gaara's mind.

'Show me Uzumaki…'

Combat Field

The tomoe in Naruto's eyes spun about in a circular cycle as he reached back and readied Twilight for the battle. Chojuro tightened his hold on Hiramekarei as he was lulled into a comfort but remembering the stage Chojuro shook away the fog. Naruto was already upon him with his katana coming down over the top of Chojuro's shoulder. Chojuro hurled Hiramekarei up to fend off Naruto's smaller blade. Not wanting to be thrown off of his center of balance Naruto spun his body with the momentum the gray of hue of Twilight filled Chojuro's vision before it fell down to his waist. Chojuro suddenly grimaced when he felt the flesh on his stomach being dug into by the sharp end of his opponent's katana.

Chojuro jabbed the pommel of his Twinsword into Naruto's shoulder getting the space he wanted so he could reassess the situation. Chojuro was confused as why he was sluggish enough for Naruto to draw blood on such an obvious move. Chojuro jumped up and brought his massive sword down on the position Naruto was in but to no avail as the dojutsu using shinobi easily maneuvered himself out of the linear motion. Chojuro slashed out backwards sending the side of his blade on a direct line towards Naruto who calmly put Twilight up vertically and braced for impact. Naruto could feel the force being absorbed by his forearms and knowing his guard couldn't keep the larger sword at bay he flipped over the swinging blade.

While upside down traveling through the air Naruto slashed at Chojuro's head with his katana with a frightening accuracy. Chojuro's dipped his head to the side watching as the grey blade swept past his face while Naruto landed back on the ground. As Chojuro turned he saw a few locks of his blue hair falling to the ground confusing the Kiri swordsman. With his apparent problems on the defensive Chojuro lunged forward with his Hiramekarei pointed at Naruto ready to stab the Konoha Nin. Naruto moved to the left evading the lunging blade timing his hip check so that as Chojuro passed him his hip slammed into his ribcage. Chojuro winced and landed on a wobbly base distracted by the sudden attack.

Chojuro lifted his glasses back over his eyes as he charged Hiramekarei with his chakra getting the sword to glow a deep blue. "SōtōNinpō: Chakra Slash!" The blue wave of chakra was magnified by the sword which acted as a conduit. Naruto knew that he would not be able to sever the wave due to the strengthening from the sword. Naruto speared Twilight into the ground and jumped on the hilt of his sword putting him on an even level with the wave of chakra, just before the wave could hit him Naruto used his katana as a stepping stone jumping high into the air over the chakra slash. Chojuro looked up into the sky using his hand to block the sunlight from blinding him.

Naruto used the sun to make his figure a shadowy silhouette also forcing Chojuro to deal with the blinding light of the sun. Naruto's hands blurred through their signs ending on the sign of the Tiger. Naruto molded the chakra in his lungs harnessing the burning feeling that was coursing through his body funneling it up his throat. "Fire Release: Grand Fireball!" The compacted sphere of dark orange and deep red came flying down on Chojuro who could only see a dark circle coming closer. The shadow broke allowing Chojuro to see the steaming fireball getting him to leap away from the spot he was sparing himself from a fiery combustion.

The moment Naruto landed his hand was already wrapped around the hilt of his katana pulling it out of the ground Naruto raced towards Chojuro who was still on his back foot from leaping away from the ball of fire. Chojuro continued tracking backwards as he went through his own hand signs. "Water Release: Water Bullet!" Chojuro cried shooting a chakra infused glob of water towards the pursuing Naruto using his aggressiveness to his advantage. Naruto did not falter in his stride channeling fine coating of wind style chakra around his katana and with a fluid upward cut he spilt the water bullet in two.

Naruto continued forward then in mid-step Naruto disappeared with no sign of a natured Shunshin showing how far he had come from using Shisui's scrolls he got on his birthday. Chojuro whirled around slashing behind him where he was met with a loud crunch. Glancing down Chojuro found the remains of a substitution log showing that his instincts were indeed true. Naruto was a standing a few feet across from Chojuro with his eyes narrowed on the blue haired swordsman from Mizu no Kuni. Naruto took out a handful of shuriken and threw them into the air going into a series of hand seals. "Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire." Naruto spat out a series of small fireballs that surrounded the shuriken using his chakra to manipulate the flight of the spinning stars.

Chojuro held Hiramekarei in front of his body horizontally creating a shield from the fiery shuriken using chakra to keep the fires from expanding and exploding in his face. Once the shuriken were resting against the metal of his Twinsword he swung his sword sending the shuriken back towards Naruto. Naruto easily wove his way out of the shuriken barrage using his Sharingan. Chojuro tested his body to see if his movements were back to their normal speed when he caught something abnormal in his muscle movements. Chojuro's eyes widened when he realized what was wrong with his body. 'He casted a Genjutsu on me when I looked into his eyes at the beginning of the match!'

Chojuro put his grand blade back in the holster on his back needing both hands for what he was going to do next. Slapping his palms together Chojuro cut off his chakra flow temporarily before releasing a concentrated wave of chakra out. Chojuro glanced back down to see that his muscle movements were no longer altered. It was only thanks to the intense muscle memory training that swordsman go through that he was able to spot the miniscule change to his body. Chojuro hefted his large Twinsword back into position with a grin that showed off his pointed, shark teeth, a trait shared by the swordsmen of the Mist.

In The Stands

"It's about time that kid realized he was under a Genjutsu." Asuma muttered while leaning back into his chair ignoring the disturbed frown on Kurenai's face from his smoking habit. Rubbing out the lit end on the arm of the chair Asuma looked down at Naruto standing there calmly like he was planning every step of the battle.

"Why didn't Naruto just finish him while he was under the Sharingan's Genjutsu? He was never one to toy around with his opponent." Kurenai asked aloud getting nods from the other Jounin sensei that had Naruto on their teammate at one point. Kiba scoffed at the fact that Naruto was the center of attention yet again.

"No one knows what's going on in that lunatics mind!" Kiba said rudely not noticing that he didn't get the bark from Akamaru as usual because he had hopped into Hinata's lap for comfort. Kiba failed to notice Naomi get behind him and bash him over the head with her fist.

"Don't you insult my Nii-san Dog Breath!" Naomi shouted with a twitching brow and hair that was swaying like death itself getting a few people around her to take a step back in fear for their safety. Kushina started to laugh happily seeing her girl act just as she would while the Scarecrow of the group just sweat dropped at his student's antics.

Combat Field

Chojuro now knowing his body was back at full operating speed rushed forward thrusting Hiramekarei towards Naruto who moved to evade the stabbing lunge but was caught in the ribs when Chojuro swung the flat side of has blade towards Naruto. Naruto growled at himself for falling for a feint as he used chakra to stop himself from tumbling around the floor. Naruto propelled off his back foot towards Chojuro slicing down with his katana but Chojuro's original speed proved enough for the Kirigakure shinobi to parry the direct assault. Breaking the assault Chojuro swung his larger weapon down forcing Naruto to drift to left throwing off an upcoming slash.

Naruto and Chojuro continued to thrust and slash their swords resulting in a clang each time their steel met the others. Naruto looked to see his vest had a number of cuts on it all from the past few exchanges with his opponent. Naruto scolded himself for falling behind Chojuro in swordsmanship even if he was in a group known for swordplay it was still unacceptable. Naruto brandished his two colored katana and began to channel his chakra into the metal of the katana. The white section gleamed brilliantly while the black section glowed menacingly meeting in the middle where a dull grey was illuminating the blade.

"Kami ken'nomai: Severance from the Material World." Naruto swung his glowing katana and a thick wave of energy flew towards Chojuro who was in the process of swinging his sword around in a circular motion. Suddenly a large hole of chakra opened up in the air in front of Chojuro. The attack from Naruto was swallowed up by the hole created by Chojuro getting Naruto to narrow his eyes in agitation seeing his attack fail. Chojuro let his Hiramekarei slump down showing that creating that chakra hole took quite the hammer to his chakra reserves. Standing up Chojuro willed himself as he went through his hand seals to push on the attack.

"Water Release: Shark Bomb!" The water coming from Chojuro's mouth slowly formed into a great white shark that was looking at Naruto like its prey. Naruto didn't have enough time to dissect the jutsu before it swam forth towards Naruto. The Sharingan user found that the chakra was too concentrated for him to slice through the jutsu. Naruto brought of his guard just as the shark's powerful jaw ripped into his arms and drove him straight into the wall behind him. Chojuro seeing the success of his attack waited to see if he had done any serious damage with his last move. Naruto got back onto his feet and everyone could see the sleeves of his vest were shredded with blood dripping down his hairline and forearms.

Naruto tapped into the Soul Link he had with Suisei. 'Hey Suisei are you still flying overhead?' Naruto asked with a slight pant as the damage to his body was a little more severe than he had expected from the water style jutsu. Naruto glared down Chojuro his Sharingan seeming to burn through the swordsman's very soul.

"I'm here Naruto-kun! What do you need me for? I can't really do anything significant." Suisei admitted bitterly as she flew around Chojuro high in the sky escaping his attention. Naruto almost laughed when his partner admitted she couldn't help but he had other plans.

'Yes you can just shed a nice amount of feathers around my opponent and I will take care of the rest.' Naruto said watching as the black feathers from Suisei's wings started to fall all around Chojuro garnering his attention. Naruto smiled as he went through a few hand signs and focused on the space around Chojuro. "Wind Release: Shadow Hurricane!" The wind around Chojuro started to swirl violently taking the feathers around Chojuro turning them into small swirling blades. The feathers also made the wind dark as night hiding Chojuro from the eyes of the arena. Naruto knew that the feathers would be sped up by his Wind Release making them very dangerous.

Naruto started to go through the signs for the last step of his plan, his hands ending in the Tiger sign. 'Fire Release: Grand Fireball.' Naruto holding the Tiger seal added a different variation to the traditional fireball. From Naruto's mouth came the constant fire as it sped forward and touched the black hurricane that had Chojuro trapped in its eye. Once the flamethrower came into contact with the hurricane the two elements melded and formed a huge explosion that caused a lot of smoke to rise into the air. Naruto knew the match was over once Suisei came back and landed on his shoulder knowing she saw the whole thing.

Over near the end of the field Chojuro was lying on his back with his glasses broken and his clothing charred. There were cuts all around his body showing the feathers had done their job with the aid of the wind. The symbolic display of Hiramekarei discarded on the ground away from Chojuro signaled the Kirigakure shinobi's defeat. The Suna proctor stepped back into the center of the field after blowing away the ash of the burnt feathers away.

"Winner by knockout, Naruto Namikaze-Uzumaki-Uchiha!"

Review Response:

The Fights: I won't make you read them but I figured it is better to have an average fight instead of two lines or sometimes people are just like "yeah I am skipping these…" I won't be doing that so sorry? Not really. But if you like them then it's all good!

Why not Kamui: Because Obito exists and has that as does Kakashi but just at a later time. There is no eye available to take that ability.

Jinchuuriki: Yes I know that they were undefeated but that was because how I perceived them to be. Jinchuuriki are definitely going to win most fights when facing off against other Genin but not always.

You guys: It's good to see new faces with the reviews but I also appreciate seeing people from the earlier chapters still reading. I appreciate the support!

AN: Here is the next chapter and man am I glad it's done. I was totally going to get it done yesterday but then I hit a giant lazy streak. One more chapter then I close the book on the Chunin Exams arc. Thanks for reading like always. If you read the whole thing why not leave a review? Have a nice night! Ja Ne! -Matt
