A/N: I know I'm really going fast with this, but I just feel like I should. I also think that one of my main problems has been that I didn't note that this was non-yaoi. Maybe, I don't know. At least, I still have Sasuke's Sharingan abilities to work with. Now, Sasuke vs. Yoroi, it's pretty short since I don't have enough knowledge from the manga to see Yoroi's full abilities.

Sasuke and Yoroi glared at each other. The Uchiha had seriousness in his dark eyes.

Sakura looked on. It's going to be a tough match for Sasuke-kun; I don't think he can win so easily.

Sasuke, you better not lose because I want to fight you, too! Naruto thought.

Yoroi looked at his next opponent. I guess I'll have some fun with you, Uchiha. Although, I would've enjoyed fighting the kid with the seal.

Hayate said, "Now, we have our two fighters. Will everyone except them move up to the upper level?"

The others moved up, each of them glancing an eye to the Uchiha.

Kakashi stepped along to Naruto, who was calling his name. As he passed Sasuke, he spoke, "You might need to use your Sharingan, this time. This guy seems pretty tough."

The raven haired boy grunted at that. Maybe Kakashi had the right idea. Kakashi kept going forward. "You should get this match over with as quickly you can. Especially since you also want to see Naruto fight. Although, I might not want to do that. He may be your rival, but don't try to outdo yourself just prove something."

I'm weaker than normal right now; I think I have to use my Sharingan this time. Sasuke's eyes shifted to the blond boy on the upper level. This Yoroi seems to have a strange air around him. I better not mess this up.

Jiraiya looked at the Uchiha. Hm, Yoroi has this kid beat. No matter how legendary this clan is, Yoroi has already won before this match even started.

Hayate looked at both of them. "All right, the both of you may begin the match now."

Yoroi formed the tiger seal as Sasuke jumped back, a smug grin on his face. The older male's hand glowed blue as his sunglasses had a shine quickly pass over it. "You have no chance, kid."

Sasuke took out several kunai and shuriken and threw them at his enemy. He was left a sitting duck as Yoroi dodged them with ease. In order to try to take down his opponent, Sasuke took out a kunai and rushed over to him. He felt a sharp pain from the exhaustion and the wound he inflicted on himself when he fought against Jiraiya.

Yoroi smirked and knocked him down with a kick. As he was about to force a hit on him, Sasuke pushed him down by pushing his legs. In a swift movement, Sasuke grabbed Yoroi's arm and forced him down with his legs on his chest.

Yoroi grabbed the front of Sasuke's shirt and his hand had the blue chakra back on it. Sasuke winced as he felt his power go down. What's going on?

The Uchiha let go of his forearm as Yoroi hit his jaw. With such power, Sasuke was pushed farther, his back making friction with the ground.

In another single movement, Yoroi landed another punch on the boy. When Sasuke propped himself on his elbows, the other male grabbed his head which still had the same blue chakra, stealing his strength. In a strained voice, Sasuke said, "What is this?"

His teammates looked in horror as Sasuke was forced on the ground, his chakra being drained as Yoroi looked without regret.

Jiraiya looked in amusement. You've finally noticed, Sasuke-kun. Yoroi's special ability to steal chakra with the touch of his palm seems like too much for you. I'd hoped that he'd fight Naruto, but you'll do.

"Are you giving up?" Yoroi taunted.

"Like hell I will," Sasuke groaned as he sent a kick to Yoroi's chest, making him fly away.

Kneeling, Sasuke wiped his mouth. This guy will most likely use close combat, so I should my Sharingan now, before it's too late.

He closed his eyes, making Yoroi wonder what he was doing. When opened them, his eyes burned crimson, staring at Yoroi with two tomoe.

"Uchiha Sasuke. You can activate the Sharingan?" Gaara wondered, keeping his attention on the battle before him.

When Yoroi rushed over to Sasuke, the Uchiha went on his back and elbows, kicking Yoroi in the jaw again, sending him upward.

Lee looked surprised. "That's my….!"

Yoroi was flying in the air, his back to the ground as Sasuke came behind him. "From here, this is my own original move."

Sasuke put two fingers to the small of Yoroi's back and said, "Take this!"

The amount of strain on his body because of his weakened state and use of Sharingan, which normally had no effect on him, but he lost so much chakra it hurt.

Through that pain, he pushed up Yoroi and swung his left leg to kick him. The enemy blocked it with his forearm and smirked. "Not enough, Uchiha."

Sasuke brought back his leg and pulled his fist back, prepared to hit.

Kakashi examined the fight and said, "Not enough."

Using the back of his left fist, he hit Yoroi down and followed that with a punch to the chest. Just when Yoroi thought that the assault was over, Sasuke yelled, "It's not over, yet!"

He brought his leg up and threw Yoroi to the ground with amazing strength. He made a quick turn and followed that with a powerful hit to the chest. Although he was able to knock his enemy down, Sasuke was flown back on his front as Yoroi remained, unmoving.

Hayate went over to Yoroi and felt his forehead. After he was done with that, he stood between the two males. "I'm officially stopping this fight! Uchiha Sasuke has taken down Akado Yoroi, making him the winner of this preliminary!"

Sasuke went on his back and stared at the ceiling before Kakashi came into the field. He propped himself onto his elbows as he closed his eyes to release his Sharingan. Kakashi looked at him. "Sasuke, if you knew your chakra was low, you shouldn't have used the Sharingan, even if I suggested it to you."

"I don't care. I won, doesn't that mean anything?" Sasuke wondered.

"Somewhat, but next fight, it does matter how you win, not if," Kakashi told him.

"Sasuke put some strain on himself, didn't he, Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked.

"Y-yeah, he did. It's mainly because he wants to fight you, Naruto," she answered him. "I hope you two don't."

"What? Why?" Naruto asked curiously.

"Because if you two fight, it may lead to death, won't it? You guys normally want to fight and it might be too competitive and it could kill one of you." She looked down.

Then I should hold back if I fight him. For now, I should try to act normally.

"That's so lame, Sasuke! Even I could beat someone without getting my ass kicked around!" Naruto shouted.

Sasuke smiled. "Damn moron."

He shifted his eyes toward Lee. Thanks, Lee. If it wasn't for you and the technique you used before, I wouldn't have won.

Gai looked at the young Uchiha. The mastery of the super taijutsu, the Lotus, it cannot be mastered just by the use of the Sharingan. Sasuke-kun reminds me so much of you, Kakashi. What a kid, using the Sharingan to beat an enemy. So much youth!

Anko looked at Naruto and Sasuke with concern. She whispered to herself, "Those two, it's a good thing they didn't fight, but what about the finals?"

Zaku, Dosu, and Kin looked smugly at the field. Zaku spoke up, "What an interesting guy."

A medical ninja walked onto the field as his subordinates put Yoroi on the stretcher. "Uchiha Sasuke, you should go with us to heal up."

"No, it's not necessary. He can watch the rest of the fights, it's not like it's going to kill him." Kakashi smiled.

Sasuke stood up, stumbling his way back to his teammates as the board started to flash names yet again.

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura rushed down and helped him walk up by putting her hand on his back and shoulder, guiding him.

The board stopped on two names. Hayate said, "Aburame Shino versus Abumi Zaku. Will the two fighters step onto the field?"

Shino took his time, Zaku didn't waste his. Under his breath, he wondered, "Who is this loser?"

The two stared intensely at each other as Hayate announced, "Umm, so are you two ready to begin the match?"

They both nodded as he stepped away. Shino looked at Zaku. "You should forfeit, fighting with one arm isn't a fair."

Zaku smirked and said loudly, "One arm is enough to beat you!"

Zaku lunged himself and swung with his left arm. Shino effortlessly blocked it. "Like I said: You can't beat me with only one arm."

"Shut the hell up, you bastard!" Zaku shouted, as a hole in his hand released a gas.

That gas turned into an explosion which made a large blast of smoke happen. From it, Zaku remained fine as Shino was blown back, his cheek to the floor. His teammates looked at him with worried expressions.

"Hey, get up, loser!" Zaku demanded.

Shino slowly rose up as he panted. A scar was on his cheek, and from it came bugs that shocked Zaku. What the hell is this guy? Bugs in his body?

Shino extended his index finger which had a bug on it. "These are destruction bugs; they attack their prey in numbers and eat up chakra. Like I said, you can't beat me, and this is not a fair fight.

"If you don't want to be attacked, give up….it's your best option at this point. If you choose not to, and attack me with your left arm, my bugs will attack you from behind."

Zaku looked behind his back and saw the bugs. Maybe if I attack these –

"If you attack my bugs, you'll be open to an attack, either way, I have you. It's my trump card, where's yours?" Shino interjected his thoughts.

Zaku remembered why he was here. It's for Jiraiya, who gave him the chance.

"If you come along with me, I promise you, you'll get stronger. Although, it's only if you fight for me. Prove to me that you are worthy of my faith." Jiraiya's words rang in his head.

I can't…continue to fail, damn it! Zaku took his arm out of his cast and extended both of his arms.

"You should always have a trump card, right?" Zaku yelled. "Here is mine!"

Dosu chuckled and said to Kin, "He pretended his right arm was useless, huh?"

Kiba looked at this battle, shocked at what he'd seen. "He can use his right arm?"

One of his arms faced toward the bugs, the other toward Shino. "Take this!"

In a second, his forearms blew off. They fell on the ground as everybody watched in horror. Kiba shouted, "What the hell just happened?"

Bugs started to crawl out from the holes on Zaku's arms. Shino appeared behind Zaku. "When I told you to give up earlier, I ordered them to close up the holes on your hands. This is my true trump card. You knew had a chance."

Shino moved to face Zaku and punched his jaw.

Hayate went over to the unconscious Zaku and said, "It's over. The winner: Aburame Shino!"

Lee looked over at his Hyūga teammate. "What is he?"

He activated his Byakugan to see inside of Shino's body. "I understand summoning bugs, but the bugs are actually in his body."

A/N: Those two fights were pretty short, for me. Even in the manga, they weren't any more than two or three chapters. Now, I'd like to dedicate this small section to replying to reviews. So here we go:

To Vordax0110, who wrote:

| Chapter 7 - Haha! Awesome. Lol!
I just thought, reading this, Naruto spends about half of the anime in bed or sleeping. :D |

Well, he did seem like the type to request sleeping. I also did have that in mind.

And:

|Chapter 8 – The battle was really great!
And who'd have guessed Sakura (Of all people.)to be worried about Naruto! |

Thanks for the compliment about the battle! About Sakura being worried about Naruto, who wouldn't be if you knew it was a deadly thing. No matter how annoying she thinks he is, she would still be worried.

|Chapter 9 - Awesome chapter!
I can understand, having Sasuke 'normal' would be hart write seen as it's not how you expect him to be after so long.:S
Update soon!|

Yeah, I know. He still has the power of the Uchiha clan and has access to its Kekkei Genkai. He'd still be pretty deadly.

|To drasonz, who wrote: in the original naruto declared himself going to be the future orange hokage , for this au maybe other people is going to call sasuke the dragon ninja or the black dragon etc.. just a thought|

Well, Naruto did get his dream of being the Orange Hokage because of his mom and dad, who were the Yellow Flash and the Red Hot-Blooded Habanero. I will keep that in mind and think about a title.

|To iwish329, who wrote: you should take sasuke off as one of the listed characters almost missed this story because i thought it was narusasu|

I just changed the summary, hopefully people weren't just reading because they thought it was yaoi. I don't write that kind of stuff. I'd be more likely to pair up Sai and Hinata together than write yaoi. Then again, I did write one kinda like that….

That's it for these responses. Won't happen every chapter, because that would take too long.
