Hi! Another chappie coming to you! A little side note: Haku and Zabuza will appear in this chapter, but the reason why they're still alive, is because Tazuna's death has already passed, and the Konoha Team Seven being knocked out, so there's no point of Zabuza and Haku dying. Plus, I'll also introduce Yugito, the demon container of the two tailed cat, plus one Kumo OC. I'll also throw in Iwa and Kiri OC teams as well. Enjoy! In this fic also, Haku is a guy, like in the anime. Yes, Jiraiya will be in this chapter.
Chapter Ten: Chunin Exams Part Four and a Sannin Confrontation
Rock Lee vs Gaara
This match was an interesting match, with Rock Lee, a shinobi who can't do ninjutsu or genjutsu almost defeating Gaara. But Gaara managed to use Sand Coffin to break Lee's arm and leg, before being stopped by a jounin that looked exactly like him.
Yugito of Kumo vs Kintaro of Iwa
Little was known about this match, but it was certainly interesting, because the Konoha nins were watching a match between two former enemies of their village, Iwa and Kumo. In the end, Yugito defeated Kintaro with a deadly Lightning Based Jutsu, despite the fact that Kintaro was actually a half-demon. More like half-human, half-wolf.
Haku of Kiri vs Mayura of Iwa
The match between Haku and Mayura was quick, with Mayura beaten easily by Haku's crystal ice mirrors. Unlike the last match, it wasn't a demon container against a half-demon. Clearly, it was human vs half-demon.
"This is strange. Kumo and Iwa teams have also made it to the preliminaries, as well as a Kiri team, too." Kabuto said while watching the match.
The other two matches between a mystery Kiri genin and another Kumo genin also ended in a draw, and another Kiri genin versus a mystery Oto nin. Two other mystery Oto nin versed against each other, and ended in a double knockout, which unsurprisingly, ended in a draw.
Shinosuke of Kumo vs Junchiro of Iwa
This match was fought only for ten minutes, with Junchiro of Iwa using an Earth based jutsu to repel and backfire the Kumo genin's lightning attack. This match is the final match of the preliminaries.
After the final match, the sixteen people that will go through the finals were picking a card with a number on it. After the random picking, each contestant said their number.
"One." Naruto said.
"Two." Neji said.
"Three." Gaara said.
"Four." Kankuro said.
"Five." Naomi said.
"Six." Yugito said.
"Seven." Temari said.
"Eight." Hiroshi said.
"Nine." Kenzo said.
"Ten." Shikamaru said.
"Eleven." Kana said.
"Twelve." Kenzo said.
"Thirteen." Shino said.
"Fourteen." Haku said.
"Fifteen." Junchiro said.
"Sixteen." Sasuke said.
"Here's the match up for the finals. Number one will battle number sixteen, number two will battle number fifteen, and so forth. Basically, first fights last, second fights fifteenth. You have one month to prepare, so learn new moves, and new tactics. Until then, good luck." the Sandaime Hokage explained.
After the explanation, the six Akatsuki teams went to their respective senseis, with Naruto bowing to Sesshoumaru.
"Sesshoumaru-sensei, Neji and I have already tapped into our inner power already." Naruto said. "I feel sorry for Kana. She hasn't unlocked the demonic chakra yet."
"I can manage. Right now, my sister and I need to be in a teahouse." Kana said. "Sesshoumaru-sensei, are we going to do some training for the finals?"
"Yes Kana, but we will start with a meditation first in th bathhouse. Send a flare if you sense anyone peeking." Sesshoumaru told her. Lunch time came, and the three genin were eating sushi, and drinking tea in a teahouse not far from Ichiraku ramen. Neji was silently thinking about what he will do to unleash his revenge on the clan that used him as scapegoats. Naruto got out of the teahouse, when he saw a huge man with white hair as long as Sesshoumaru's. But the only difference is that he's wearing a weird forehead protector, different from the normal Konoha forehead protector. And to top it off, he's peeking at the ladies that were bathing.
"Hey, Neji. You better come here." Naruto told the Hyuga. Neji got up, and looked around.
"What is it, Naruto?" Neji asked. He found his answer in the form of the peeking pervert. The two Akatsuki genin were wearing their cloak and hat, and snuck on the man. "What the hell are you doing, hermit?"
The man gave a startled yell. Immediately, the ladies at the bathhouse were throwing objects at the pervert. "Peeping tom! Get out!" They took the man out of the roof, and went to a training ground.
"What are you thinking, peeping on those ladies?" Naruto asked angrily. "What are you, some kind of pervert? And by the way, who are you?"
"What did you interrupt my research for?" the man asked in return. "This is the research." He held out a book entitled Icha Icha Paradisu.
"That abomination? It is banned in our city." Neji replied.
"So that's why I was kicked out of that place. Too bad, it was kinda cool." the man replied. "And by the way, I'm what they call the toad sage."
"More likely Pervy Sage, you perverted old fool." Kana said as she appeared a minute later. "Hey, you two haven't finished your meal yet."
"We'll finish later. Right now, we apprehended this pervert right here." Naruto said. Before he could reply, Neji replied first. "Toad sage? Pervy sage? You must be one of the Sannin. Jiraiya the Perverted Toad Sage, isn't it?"
"Yes, for someone who was in the same group that Orochimaru used to be in." Jiraiya replied. "You three are the Akatsuki, aren't you?" His voice was getting serious.
"Ah, I guess you can tell by our cloak and kimono." Kana said. Before the three genin could leave, Jiraiya blocked the way.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" he said as a puff of smoke appeared, and there were two clones appeared. Each of them were holding what appears to be five small purple flames. "I'm sorry, you three. But I can't have you all rely on the demonic aura all the time." But before he can apply a sealing jutsu on the three Akatsuki genin, Sesshoumaru appeared out of nowhere, and grabbed his wrist, Neji dispelling Jiraiya's clones.
"You're not to lay a finger, let alone five fingers on them, do you understand?" Sesshoumaru asked menacingly.
"You've got to understand. They can't rely on the demonic chakra all the time." Jiraiya tried to explain, but was kicked by the demon Hikage/sensei.
"If you dare to attack one of my genin, according to the law of the nation of Light, and the laws of Akatsukidaitoshi, any foreign nin that tries to either attack, place a sealing jutsu, or injure any citizen of the said city while in a foreign village or city, it is considered an act of war, and the Akatsuki Elite will be deployed to torture the suspect. In other words, harm them again, or I call them, get it?" the Hikage said. When Jiraiya nodded, Sesshoumaru said "Get out!"
After the confrontation, his team, as well as Kagura's team were sitting in a campfire, discussing the planned invasion. The Suna nin arrived, following by an Iwa team, led by a jounin called Akitoki Yamato. His features were that he had brown hair, and red eyes, indicating that he is also a half demon.
"Welcome, Iwa nin. We have been discussing the planned invasion of Konoha, and how we are going to destroy it. Coincidentally, Orochimaru is also planning to destroy it as well." Sesshoumaru explained. "Iwa will participate in this attack too."
"Well, thank you for letting us get our revenge, after all these years." Akitoki Yamato said. "You've received a letter from the caretaker back in your city about a political marriage. And how our country will unite with yours and the Wind country."
"It will be a trial monarchy, with three kages ruling an empire." Baki replied. "Where is Itachi Uchiha? He needs to meet his fiancee."
"Itachi Uchiha is outside the gates of Konoha. Apparently, he's wanted in the bingo book for killing everyone but his brother in his own clan." Kagura said. "It would be wise to meet him right away, while the moon is still out."
So the large group went outside the gate, and found Itachi and Kisame camped in their own campfire.
"Well Itachi, it looks like one of them in the Suna team is your fiancee. The kunoichi, for instance." Kisame said. Itachi got up, and held a hand that meant for them to stop.
"Hold it! I sense an intruder." he said, asn he searched for the intruder. A minute later, he came back, bringing with him a Konoha jounin. It was the same jounin who was the proctor for the preliminaries.
"Hayate Gekko. What brings you to here?" Itachi asked with a kunai in his throat.
"I..I was j-just-"the captive began to explain, but was punched by Akitoki.
"Scum! You've stumbled upon a group of S-rank criminals. For that you must die!" Baki said angrily as Gaara gagged his mouth.
"Sand coffin!" Hayate was trapped in the cocoon of sand, unable to make a noise. "Sand funeral!" As in the assassination of Tazuna, blood spurted out in all directions. Sesshoumaru managed to use a cleaning jutsu to clean up the mess. Itachi then continued to talk.
"Who is my fiancee?" he asked. Temari came forward.
"My name's Temari of the desert, and I'm your fiancee." she replied with a blush in his face. "Kankuro, can you give us any drink?"
"Let's see. I've got a bottle of grape juice inside the Crow." Kankuro replied. At the moment, Sasori and Deidara came.
"Hehe. I never thought you would find other uses for the puppets that I've created for you, eh Kankuro?" Sasori said.
"Nice to see you again, Sasori-sama." the pupeteer said.
"Akitoki, nice to see you again! After all these years!" Deidara said as he shook Akitoki's hand.
"Deidara, my old friend. It seems to me that we've come together to beat Orochimaru to it first in terms of destroying this hellhole." Akitoki replied.
The group talked all night, until it was time to return to Konoha again.
