In case it had been forgotten I dont own Naruto or any of the characters
Chapter 11: The Finals
The proctor called for the match to begin but neither moved from there spot's or even entered a fighting stance as the crowd looked on confused as to what was happening.
"I am going to give you this one chance looser fate has decided you will loose today just give up" the stoic Hyuuga taunted
"well its a good thing I don't believe in fate then because I never give up and I never surrender" Naruto stated
"very well then you leave me no choice but to beat you into submission" Neji sneered as he got into his gentle fist stance
"bring it on" the blond responded forming a hand seal
They acted at the same time Neji activated his bloodline and ran forward at pace while Naruto made two clone's to intercept his charge while backing up.
The Hyuuga reached the first clone and went for a fist strike but the clone was able to dodge out of the way in time and attempted to sweep his leg while the other clone went to punch Neji in the side of the head
Neji was just able to maneuver out of the way diving forward into a role turning to deliver a gentle fist strike to the two clones
"is that all you got two clones and you didn't even fight you ran to the other side of the arena you see you are nothing but a dead last looser who will always be a looser it is fate" Neji stated
"yeah it might be that or maybe your byakugan isnt as all seeing as you think it is" Naruto yelled while finishing some hand signs "Fuuton wind bullets"
Naruto took in a deep breath then hit his chest with his hand and shot out pockets of compressed air forcing Neji to dodge keeping him on the back foot when Naruto was finally out of air he began a second set of handsigns not giving the white eyed genin a chance to catch his breath
(kage booth)
"that young genin shows great promise hokage-dono he is successfully keeping the hyuuga away from him a master stroke against a taijutsu expert like a hyuuga" the kazekage said
"yes he has become one of my most reliable and yet unpredictable ninja I have" the hokage informed the wind shadow
(stands)
"wow look at that Neji cant get a hit in" Choji said between handfuls of chips
"yeah but he still cant win this is Naruto were talking about" Ino said trying to mask how impressive Naruto's display really was
"yeah Naruto baka is just getting lucky he doesn't actually stand a chance only Sasuke-kun stands a chance against someone like Neji" Sakura said
"think what you want but I had to fight Naruto and I could tell he wasn't even trying against me, I would say Neji will have a much harder fight than you think I mean look at him he cant get near Naruto" Kiba stated
(Arena)
"Fuuton: Great Breakthrough" Naruto yelled before taking in a deep breath of and and releasing a great gale of wind ripping some of the branches off some nearby trees but just before the gale hit its target
"Kaiten" the stoic Neji screamed as he spun creating a large dome of chakra diverting the air around him
(Stands)
"father that was -" Yes I know the kaiten is a main branch move and young Neji was able to use it truly he is a genius worthy of the main house" Hiashi Hyuuga said to his younger daughter
'damn that move will effectively make my long range jutsu useless I guess I am going to have to get my hands dirty in close range still better keep some back up for long range' Naruto thought before crating two shadow clones and charging forward.
Naruto and Neji were matching each other blow for blow Neji's slightly superior taijutsu ability was offset by Naruto's clones who would send kunai or Fuuton jutsu at the hyuuga when ever there was an opening
(stands)
"well looks like the kid has improved a lot, he has definitely got my vote for chunin his use of shadow clones is rather impressive and he has some great wind jutsu's" Izemo said
"yeah he has my vote aswell the Hyuuga not so much he has shown great skill in his own style but his tactics are not up to scratch" Kotetsu responding in agreement
(Arena)
Neji had,had enough and finaly showed his frustration by changing his focus from the real Naruto to his clones
Naruto used this distraction and fired a Fuuton: wind bullet at Neji from behind, hitting him in the back Neji flew forward dispelling both clones as he collapsed on the floor
Naruto walked forward to inspect the fallen hyuuga who was gingerly getting to his feat "tell me Neji what is it that has you so obsessed with fate" the blond asked still approaching Neji
"in our family it is fate that the branch house serves the main, we give out lives in servitude to them I found that out when my father was ordered to die in place of his brother Hiashi-sama" Neji said as he began loosening his hetai-ite "we are even given a seal in so we know our place you would have no idea what its like to have a seal that define's who you are, oh and by the way you are in my field of devision 8 trigrams 64 palms" Neji yelled
2 Palms
4 Palms
8 Palms
16 Palms
32 Palms
8 trigrams 64 Plams
Neji finished his attack and Naruto coughed up a small amount of blood
(stands)
"oh well he fought well to bad his opponent was Neji" Tenten said truly fealing sorry for the blond
"cant believe it that was the first attack Neji got in on him and its over" Kiba yelled
"oh come on Kiba you honestly cant think Naruto baka even had a chance do you" screeched Sakura
(Kage booth)
"a shame Hokage-dono but he has at least shown he is chunin material" the Kazekage offered up
"yes Naruto-kun has shown great tactical awareness up until this point I wouldn't be supprised if the jonnin counsel promoted him" Hiruzen said
(Areana)
"Proctor you can call the match nobody can continue to fight after that mov-" Neji was cut off as Naruto began to stand and started laughing
"what are you laughing about there is no way you can beat me I closed off all of your tenketsu points how you are even standing is astounding in it's self" Neji stated matter of factly
"im laughing at the fact you don't think I could possibly know what its like to have a seal I have no had no control over receiving" Naruto chuckled out lifting his shirt as he began to channel kyuubi's chakra
the 8 divisions shiki fuin seal came into view for all to see shocking the crowed "I know exactly what that's like and you are just like me fighting destiny at every corner that's why you tried to hard to hurt Hinata even tho she only wants to help the branch family you and your eyes are once again Blind" Naruto finished with a primal growl as red chakra exploded out from his body reopening his chakra points
(stands with the rookies)
"oh my god what is that red chakra it feels so evil nothing like Naruto at all" Ino yelled shivering under the power radiating off her fellow blond
"so much power its unbearable" said Choji as he actually stoped eating to gaze into the ring
all the other gennin could do was nod dumbly in response
(stands with the jonnin sensei's)
"that power is it breaking out ….. no he is using it but to use so much at such a young age, incredible" Asuma gasped while Gai and Kurenai could only nod dumbly in response
(contestant booth)
there were three different faces in this booth fear on the face of Kankuro and Temari knowing what demonic chakra felt like and this was on a level that made Garra using anything but his transformation state look like child's play.
Deep thought were the on the faces of Shikamaru and Shino, Shikamaru was piecing together everything he had heard and guessed while Shino's bugs were telling him all they needed to know and they both had the same thoughts 'jinchuuriki'.
Garra had a look of hunger on his face gazing into the ring at what would be his next mothers most awarding meal
(Arena)
the red chakra receded back into the seal and the audience collectively let out there breaths however Naruto was still channeling enough of the fox's chakra to have his eyes the slitted blood red and hands like claws
"ok Neji no more games" Naruto said raising his hands into a seal Neji did not recognise
"Kai" seals shimmered to existence on Naruto's hands before fading the few in the audience who knew what he did were very impressed and as soon as he kicked off with his new speed so was the rest of the people in the stands
Neji couldn't keep up Naruto was all over the ring even with his byakugan following the blond was almost impossible being backed into a corner Neji did the only thing he could think of
"Kaiten" the large dome expanded out throwing Naruto back Neji was left panting from light exhaustion from the effort the kaiten requires
'so he uses rotation and chakra manipulation to create a shell well I wonder how that will compete against a more condensed rotation' Naruto thought as he created a clone and began pouring charka into his hand while the clone started spinning it
Neji observed the spinning ball of chakra with interest and after deciding that it was not something that he wanted to be hit by prepared another kaiten as Naruto charged
(With the jonnin sensei's)
"what is that jutsu it has no element" Kurenai asked confused as to what she was seeing
both Asuma and Gai just looked on dumbly at the sight before them like they were seeing a ghost but it was Asuma who responded first with a shocked gasp of "rasengan" kurenai just blinked and turned back trying to hide her shock that this was one of the legendary jutsu created by the Yondaime hokage
(with the rookies)
"what the hell is that" yelled Kiba
"how its just chakra how can it be visible" Ino and Sakura both asked nobody in particylar
"I don't know but it sure looks like it could do some serious damage" Choji said he had returned to munching on his chips after the shock of the red chakra
"hn that Naruto baka trying to be cool a bet Sasuke-kun wouldn't even break a sweat beating either of them" Sakura said in a huff receiving 'are you serious' looks from the surrounding rookies
(the fight)
"Kaiten" "Rasengan" the two moves clashed fighting for dominance however slowly but surely Naruto began to cut through the rasengan until eventually the Kaiten broke and the Rasengan slamed into the gut of the usually stoic and now shocked hyuuga sending him flying into the wall before collapsing in a hump.
Neji struggled but failed to stand 'how he was the dead last whilst I was the prodigy of the Hyuuga how can I loose was this fate … no he fought against fate and won' Neji thought as he was loosing consciousness
"and in case you think I was fated to win this or im a genius, I failed the genin exam 3 times because I couldn't do one jutsu it was the only one I had trouble with but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't make a decent bushin but I cant believe you give up so easily, because your not like me your not a looser so get over the tough stuff and you can overcome anything" Naruto said just as Neji faded into unconsciousness.
"Hyuuga Neji is unable to continue... … Winner Uzumaki Naruto" the proctor called out and cheers erupted from the crowd for the unforgettable match they had just witnessed shocking Naruto to hear him being so accepted by the audience he couldn't help himself and he went on a lap of the ground cheering along with the applause.
"ahem the next match Will be Uchiha Sasuke Vs Subaku no Garra but as Sasuke is not here we will wait for hokage-sama to decide on what will happen" the Proctor announced
(Kage booth)
"you have to disqualify him hokage-sama it would be seen as favoritism to do otherwise" a sparrow masked Anbu reasoned
"you are right I see no other option but to disqualify the Uchiha" Sarutobi said
"I beg you to reconsider hokage-dono many of the audience came just to see the Uchiha face my son Garra" the Kazekage asked with a hint of pleading "who don't we postpone the Uchiha's match until the end of the round and go on to the other matches first"
"hm very well we will postpone the match until the end of the round" the hokage stated
(With Jiraiya)
"heh I knew you would win gaki I never had a doubt" Jiraiya said he had been observing the fight in between his research from a tree outside a nearby hotsprings
(on the floor)
"As Sasuke Uchiha is not here we will go on to the other matches and the match against Garra will be moved to match four so the next match will be Subaku no Kankuro Vs Aburame Shino will the fighters ple-" but genma didn't get to finish as the puppet user forfeited causing several boo's from the stands
"oh ok then will Subaku no Temari and Nara Shikamaru please come down to the floor" Genma called out as Temari jumped and used her fan to glide down standing next to the proctor.
Several moments passed and the Nara hadn't appeared until finaly he flew and landed in the ring with a muttering of "troublesome blond" he got up and strolled over to face the fan wielding kunoichi.
If the last match was a match for the people who loved the flashy and combat oriented side of being a ninja this match was for the tacticians with Shikamaru using brilliant strategy's to eventually trap the blond in his Kagemaine jutsu as he put her up to force her surrender he shocked both her and the stands by giving up
(stands with rookies)
"THAT LAZY BUM! what dose he think hes doing giving up like that" Ino yelled
"That's just Shikamaru I guess he just got to lazy to continue" Choji said enjoying yet another packet of chips
(Kage booth)
"well that was most interesting" the old hokage stated
"yes you have some gifted Genin this year Hokage-dono altho I can see the legendary laziness of the nara clan is still evident even in the next generation" the wind shadow stated producing a chuckle from Sarutobi
(Arena)
After a short deliberation they decided to give Sasuke a ten minute waiting period where if he didn't arrive by that time he would be disqualified.
Genma was just about to formally eject the Uchiha from the exam when he and Kakashi arived via a sunshin
"were not late are we?" the lazy jonnin asked
"your match was already postponed and he was just about to be disqualified you got here seconds before it became official" the proctor said
"uh sorry about that we forgot to set our alarm and then there was this black cat that crossed out path so we had to take the long way around" the copy ninja said causing the jonnin and chunin who knew of Kakashi's distaste for deadlines to face palm
"ugh Anyway the final match of the first round is Uchiha Sasuke Vs Subaku no Garra contestants ready …. then Begin!" Genma called out
Sasuke sped forward at great speed matching that of Lee and began working away at Garra however he was unable to successfully defeat his sand defense's
(Stands)
Rock Lee had just entered the stadium and made his way to where his sensei was standing talking to Kakashi about what he taught Sasuke
"So you increased his speed and trained him in the Goken but if Lee couldn't beat him like that that then do you really think Sasuke could" Gai asked
"I don't expect Sasuke to win with taijutsu but I asure you he has some good tricks up his sleeve" Kakashi replied
"Gai sensei I only just arrived what have I missed so far" The green clad ninja said "how did Naruto do against Neji"
"Ah that was a most interesting match" Gai stated getting looks of interest from both the genin and the copy ninja
"Naruto won and whats more it wasn't even a close fight my precious student just couldn't compete with Naruto's flames of youth" the green clad jonnin said which greatly shocked Lee whilst impressing Kakashi
suddenly the sound of birds chirping could be heard throughout the stadium
"Kakashi you didn't" Gai asked only receiving a nod in response
(Arena Moments Earlier)
Sasuke was faster than the Suna ninja that much was obvious but no matter how fast he was he couldn't get through the sand armor
"You bore me Uchiha I have no interest in you anymore I want to fight someone else someone more worthy of testing my existence" Garra said in a bored tone as his sand prevented a kick to his back.
Garra formed a large orb of sand surrounding himself.
'What dose he mean he dosnt want to fight me and im not worthy... I am an Uchiha the elite he is nothing compared to me, its time I taught him who he was up against' thought Sasuke as he ran up a wall and performing several hand signs lightening started forming in his hand.
Konoha's number one emo charged at the orb of sand and spikes started protruding from the surface in an attempt to impale the Uchiha who was able to weave his way around them before burying his hand into the dome like a knife through butter
"whats this on my shoulder, blood?... MY Blood, AGHHHHHH!" the voice of Garra screamed Sasuke jumped back from the sand orb with a smirk to enjoy his handy work but what he saw shocked him... an eye and not the eye of his opponent this eye was different evil Sasuke was about to rush in and attack when pandemonium broke out in the stands as large sections of the crowd went to sleep and several Suna and Oto ninja jumped out into the arena
Garra's siblings came down and collected the deranged red head before jumping out of the stadium.
Genma landed next to Sasuke and parried several kunai aimed at him "Sasuke you gotta go after those Suna Genin you cant let them get away the Chunin exams are over this is an invasion" the senbon loving jonnin spoke
