Time for the next addition of Life Objection. I, in no way, own Naruto; if I did we would know which century they live in. The fights so far have been short and not very epic I know, however they have never had felt the need to bring out their best skills. This is also my longest chapter to date.

******/Ch 10 Starting rounds/*******

Naruto woke bright and early before his alarm even went off. Sitting up he stared at his bare feet.

'Today's the finals, I know I'm ready for this but... no there is no chance you'll lose.' Energy filling himself he stood up and started his morning. As he sat eating his Ramen a knock sounded on his door. This was a normal morning thing.

"Naruto!" Anko leapt towards him connecting their lips as soon as possible.

"Good morning, love." Kyu followed and kissed him as well.

"Best wakeup call I ever got."

"It better be."

"Ready to go?"

"I need some scrolls, give me a minute." Naruto turned back inside.

"And they say the women are the slow ones." Anko mussed.

"I heard that!"

"Alright I'm ready, wait Kyu you're not going in henge?"

"The last time was a failure but if you're there I should have nothing to worry about." She beamed at him.

"That's over simplifying things."

"Na it should be fine, I couldn't imagine acting like a guy as long as she has, and I'd say it's about time."

"If you really want to I guess I can't stop you but does it have to be today?"

"Yes it does have to be today, I want this to spread fast, and what better way than a huge event."

"I guess you have a point."

"Good, but you may want to hurry."

"Huh?"

"We're clones the real Anko and Kyu already went ahead."

"Bye." They disappeared in a burst of water this time.

'Then they didn't really kiss me good morning...wait.' "Kyu!" He rushed out of the complex.

Somewhere across town the two half demons were getting strange looks on the streets, the attention was starting to get to them.

"I kinda wish you hadn't talked me out of the asset henge."

"Well I promised you dango, and you promised me that meat flavor lip stick I had my eye on for doing this."

"The things we do for that lovable oaf."

"I hate hiding our relationship too, but thinking back it may be a tad too extreme doing this so quickly."

"Far too late now." Anko looked back. "Do they even recognize me?"

"I'm sure they aren't locked on our faces right now." Kyu glanced back at the few men that had the guts to follow them drool flowing freely.

"Point taken, the clones just dispersed themselves how long until he comes?"

"I give him ten minutes." They had just arrived at the stadium.

"Hey you!" They turned to the voice in a twitch thanks to the shrill voice on their sensitive ears. Not five feet away stood Sakura. "You're that girl from before aren't you?"

"Yep, sure am your voice is just as painful as it was back then."

"Don't be so peppy with me!"

"Temper temper Haruno, she didn't do anything to you." Anko lulled.

"Who are y- Anko! How did you get those?" The pink haired girl didn't hide here she was looking.

"I wore bindings under my shirt all the time, didn't you know?"

"Kai." 'No, those shouldn't be real.' "Fine, I guess you're telling the truth."

"Yay."

"But that doesn't explain why you are sticking up for her."

"She's my childhood friend." Anko hugged Kyu gaining some nose bleeds from some of the men present, Sakura turned away.

"Stop that, and I thought Naruto was your best friend?"

"She's also my best friend, is there a problem?"

"Um...forget it, who are you anyway?" 'If she knows Anko then... this is very bad.'

"Her friend."

"I meant your name!"

"That's not very polite."

"I aught t-"

"Calm down Sakura." Toran had shown up and held Sakura back from lashing out at the other girl, the other members of the rookie nine were behind him, Naruto excluded. "Sorry about this she has a bit of a tempe- Mitarashi-san?!"

"Hiya."

"Dang Anko where were you hiding all of this?" Kiba had gone into pervert mode and was leaning somewhat close. The others had gone into a state of shock. "And hello hot stuff…" He set his eyes and a nervous Kyu. "There's nothing to be 'fraid of just a man looking at perfection here." Kyu suddenly felt the need to slap him.

"Shut it Kiba." Anko huffed.

"Then it's your fault." Sakura pointed at the young snake mistress.

"Wha-."

"Yeah, you obviously corrupted this poor girl from Sasuke's radiance to have less competition for him, too bad he loves me."

"What lies are you spouting now?" Anko held a glare.

"We all know you like Sasuke-kun, come on the real reason you look like that now is to attract Sasuke-kun in the exams right?"

"Troublesome." 'I didn't expect Anko to be hiding those, but unlike those the two banshee she really does hate him, and her friend when did I miss her.. nah thinking about it is too troublesome.'

"I don't like the damn Uchiha one freaking bit!" Anko snapped.

"And I want tricked into believing that, the real reason I don't like him is that I met him." Kyu folded her arms.

'I-I wish I c-could say that too, b-bu-but he's really scary.'

"Why would you say such a thing, Sasuke-kun should be what every girl dreams about."

"Forget that emo, I called her!" Kiba yelled pointing at Kyubi.

"Who said I could be called?!"

"Um... did I say that out loud?"

"That and everything else on your mind." Shino added.

"Haruno as I told you and those fan girls before, I have a boyfriend." Kiba visibly deflated at that.

"Haven't you dumped him yet?"

"Who would give up perfection, something you wouldn't know about?"

"Sasuke got burned."

"Kiba, who says burned anymore?"

"Don't even start." Kiba shot a glare at Shikimaru.

"You two wouldn't know it, perfection is right here!" Ino pointed at a picture of her crush she always carried around.

"No don't see it over there." Kyu appeared to be looking behind the picture.

"Stop messing with me yo-."

"Ino calm down, she's taken she can think whatever she wants." Shikimaru replied. 'Personally I label him gay, sigh, why are the only girls that don't like the Uchiha crazy for other reasons.'

"No one is better than an Sasuke-kun, where is this bastard that dares keep a girl from seeing his brilliance!" Sakura yelled.

"Are you at that time of the month or something, you just insulted someone for no reason?"

"S-shut up, and no it isn't!"

"Ok calm down will ya, creepy old people are staring."

"Why... what drives you to hate Sasuke-kun, yet you hang around Naruto. I don't understand you at all?"

"Because Naruto is a nice person and he happens to b-*Crash*!"

"What the…?"

"Get out of the way!" The smoke cleared revealing Naruto being chased by a hoard of angry ox.

"What the heck?"

"Hey she's gone!" Ino exclaimed. Kyu had vanished only faint smoke showed how she left.

"Their getting closer, run!" The group wasn't fast enough and was rammed into the inner stadium. Only Anko and Naruto had recovered in a second.

"What did you do?"

"It involved Kono and several angry ox herders, don't ask."

"Right."

"You there, get up and look presentable, you're representing your village." Neji spoke full of prestige, Garra was busy glaring at his Kage.

"Whatever." The blond spat before seeing angry nobles all looking at him. 'If they weren't wearing those stupid hats they wouldn't be nearly as creepy.' Kiba, Hinata, and Chouji left the group to watch in the stands as the event began, Carl was already there.

"I didn't think this many people would want to watch a bunch of kids beat each other up."

"You don't have to put it like that Uzumaki-san."

"Quite the Hokage is about to speak." Genma shot. Toran and Naruto zipped it.

"Welcome all and our deepest thanks for coming here to the village hidden in the leaves for this year's chunin selection, we have come to the final competition between the fourteen candidates who made it through the preliminaries, we ask that no one leaves until all of the matches have been completed. Now everyone enjoy." The Hokage announced. The crowd broke into cheers before the genin were led to the standby zone.

"Hey Carl how did you pull that off?" Anko asked.

"I had a shadow clone already inside and used a substitution when Naruto crashed, Hyuuga didn't notice a thing, all seeing eye my ass."

"Oh look it's starting." Back on the main field Neji and Naruto remained.

"Er... what happened to Hayate?"

"uh..."

Flashback no Jutsu

One night on a building's roof.

"No Hayate!" The attacker left tracker on his tail. Genma rushed to his friend's side. "Hayate, wake up, you can't die now."

"Genma, listen to me... I won't... make it, tell Yugao I... loved... her... *cough*." His body lost life in his friend's arms.

"No, Hayate!" 'Coughing to the end, rest in peace.'

Flashback no Jutsu, Kai.

"He took a few weeks off, said some blond kid annoyed him too much and asked too many questions, my name is Genma I'll be your new proctor." The man with a toothpick replied.

"Oh ok."

'Whatever he got a vacation, I'm ready to defeat this guy for to show my clan my true strength and follow my destiny.'

"That kid doesn't stand a chance against a Hyuuga."

"This is going to be brutal."

"The first match will begin, Hyuuga Neji vs. Uzumaki Naruto, Fight!"

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Fifteen Naruto came into existence and ran towards the Hyuuga.

"Fool." Neji jumped over the charging group poking six in the forehead destroying the Narutos, threw out several shurikin and killed another five in one toss. The remaining six began hand signs. "Too slow." The Hyuuga hit them all in the heart byakugan now fully ablaze. ""Wha-" All the Naruto present burst into smoke. 'Then where's the real one, there?'

"Uzumaki Reden!" Naruto threw a handful of stones a Neji before they changed into shadow clones trying to send him skyward.

"Not good enough, these eyes see everything." Neji had already moved past the thrown clones and appeared right next to the Naruto that had thrown the rocks. He palmed him in the gut and slammed him against a wall. "Fate had decided my victory."

"I can't say I agree with you." He burst into smoke once more and the Shadow clones now had Neji surrounded.

"Tsk, Rokujuyon Sho!"* The brunet rapidly poked the blond clones each dispelling after one strike.

'This guy and his poking ability, stupid bloodline.' "Well if clones won't work." He whipped out two kunai and rushed at Neji from the other side of the field.

'Ah finally the original, I can't sense any other chakra clones, but his chakra why does it seem so strange, repressed, what a henge?' He dodged another swipe and struck Naruto's arm "What trick are you pulling?" Naruto's eyes widened at the hand sign for release Neji was forming.

'Once again stupid bloodline now I'll have to finish this quickly.' "Oh no you don't." He laced the kunai with wind chakra before swiping, Neji barely dodged and the wall behind him earned several, nearly unnoticeable slashes. "Kage Bunshin!" The clones appeared close enough to grab the boy's arms.

'Forget the henge for now.' "Hakkesho Kaiten!"** He destroyed the clones and even tossed the real Naruto back. The crowd cheered for him breaking free, but other parts were dumb founded.

"Father that was a main branch attack right, the where did he learn it?"

"Neji is really a genius he actually learned the rotation on his own, to be able to do that at his age, the other boy doesn't stand a chance" Back to the fight.

"Don't you see by now, the smart win against the stupid every time, it has been set, destiny has shown me my victory."

"One how do you even know what your destiny is, and two there is no such thing as destiny!"

"My life has been full of hardship, I have seen past childish thoughts so that I can be the best, this is how I have learned what destiny wishes for making me a genius, and you see when I was a child..."

Flashback no Jutsu

A four year old Neji was crying the day he got branded his clans branch mark, he was in courtyard within the Hyuuga clan house.

"You see it was young Hinata's third birthday and-"

Flashback Denied no Jutsu

"Hey I barely started."

"I don't care; this is a fight not a happy skip down memory lane."

"You'll pay for not watching my flashback, Rokujuyon Sho!" He quickly sealed off Naruto's chakra flow and sent him to the ground in a second. "As is a genius' destiny, proctor the match is over."

"Not yet, eye freak." Naruto staggered back up. Crimson yokai with a black tint thinly surrounded his body. "I'm not done yet."

"That's not possible." 'His chakra is so strong, is this even chakra it feels so much thicker.'

"Forget you stupid past, I can bet it wasn't even slightly as bad as mine." He threw some metal stars only to have them stopped and thrown back with another rotation.

"I won't lose." Naruto pulled another knife ready to attack and tore up the ground as he ran.

'I must so rotation.' The attacks collided dust flew everywhere. The audience waited with baited breath. It cleared revealing two craters. Neji Hyuuga pulled himself out of a crater, and Naruto remained in his. 'Just as I predicted.'

"Winner is..." The crowd started cheering. A figure broke from the trees and slammed his linked hands into Neji's head leaving him unconscious yards away from where he was standing a second ago, standing up Naruto showed his foxy grin at the audience seeming fine, the one in the crater vanished in smoke. "Uzumaki Naruto!" His face popped up on the screen above the Kage box. The crowd stopped cheering and simply sat dumbfounded, they had defiantly not wanted or planned to cheer for the demon but a glare from the Hokage made them start up again.

'The gaki actually did it.' Jiraiya had taken a spot on the roof of the complex. Neji was carted off and Naruto returned to the standby area.

"Great job Naruto." Anko hugged him.

"Yep." Carl patted him on his back.

"Thanks Anko, Carl, but why are you like that though?" He pointed to Anko's chest.

"Naruto did you know about that?" Ino pointed at Anko. Anko mouthed bindings when Naruto turned to her for help.

"You didn't know she used bindings?"

"Why didn't you tell us?"

"You never asked." Ino walked off in a huff.

"Why really are you and Kyu going around without your henge on?"

"We wanted to get our relationship out in the open, the henge are getting in the way."

"Whatever, let's hope it works, where's Gaara?"

"Don't know

"Next match Uchiha Sasuke vs. Gaara." A ninja dropped down and spoke to Genma. "It appears that Sasuke isn't here yet, that would normally be an immediate disqualification, however the Kazekage has agreed to postpone such an important match, we are hereby moving this match to the end of the brackets."

'Why would he deliberately help one of my shinobi, Garra would have passed without problem to the next round otherwise?' The aging ninja leader pondered.

'Kukuku, come Sasuke-kun I can't wait to see your growth, now little Anko how goes your mark and skill, let me see it, I'd better be truly entertained.'

"Then next match Kankuro vs. Aburame Shino."

"I quit."

"Uh...ok; very well the fourth match Nara Shikimaru vs. Temari." The crowd was visibly showing rage at the skip of two matches. Shikimaru, weighing his options, decided that ticking them off more would be more troublesome.

"Fine." The two fought a battle of wits with Temari coming out victorious by a technicality when Shikimaru resigned after he had caught her in his jutsu.

"Match five Mitarashi Anko vs. Haruno Sakura." They each took their positions.

"I'll show you that you have no right to go after Sasuke-kun."

"Did you even listen to the answers I gave of are you earlier, or that narrow minded?"

"Fight!"

"This'll do it." Sakura leapt back and threw several kunai at Anko each with blast tags on them. She dodged getting cut, but the blast seemingly caught her. "I knew she wouldn't stand a chance."

"Against what?" The snake user appeared to her side kneeing her in the ribs, grabbed her arm and flung her to the ground and making a nice indent when her foot dropped on the pink haired girls chest. Sakura slowly got back up to see Anko with a happy go lucky smile.

'She can't seriously be that strong, not even shaken up, I'll have to use it.' "My best attack, Sakura blizzard!" She threw up a ball of paper that exploded a rain of small blast tags drifted over Anko like confetti before they all detonated; she had to shield her eyes. The huge pillar of flames that covered half of the field raised her hopes until she saw it. Out of the fire dozens of snakes raced at her, and coiled around her before she could even blink.

"Can't you even use chakra, do you have to rely on weak strategies and tags to take out your opponent, is how weak you really are without a team?" Anko stepped from the smoke not even her coat was signed.

"T-that's not possible." The snakes tightened some before she was launched into a wall. Sakura switched places with a log before hitting the wall. 'How can I beat her, I know I'l-'

"Doton: Ishi Rasen!"*** Slamming her hands down two slabs rose from the ground before ramming together with Sakura between them, Anko ran up the surrounding wall and threw several blast tags at the rock the explosion sent Sakura spinning towards the sky. Anko leapt up and shattered it with a downwards kick. Sakura hit the ground hard, rocks fell around her figure, barely missing her frame, she wasn't dead but unconscious.

"Winner Anko Mitarashi!" The crowd didn't need to be told this time and began a round of applause. Anko went back up and was greeted by her team and an angry Ino.

"You almost killed her!"

"Should I have gone all the way?"

"Wha- no, you sadistic bitch."

"Calm down Ino."

"Forget you Naruto, go find a hole to crawl into and die."

"You are really mean you know that, are you not supposed to be here?"

"Hmph."

"Next match Herari Toran vs. Garo Rarin, Fight." The Toran had learned the fire bullet technique from his tutor and although weak was able to beat the Ame Nin at the end. Though not extremely tactful, he received attention as well.

"Good job Toran." He was greeted. He was back up in the waiting area and Sakura had come back up after she regained consciousness.

"Thanks." He backed up a bit, a happy Anko usually meant some type of pain or humiliation.

"Don't act so friendly Anko."

"Still sore that I beat you?"

"Shut up!"

"She did beat you pretty badly." Kyu had appeared in the room and waved.

"Why are you here!?" The Ino and Sakura yelled.

"I have some things I need to do." She moved to team nine. "That was great Anko, good job, you too Naruto." She hugged both of them.

"Where here."

"Your late."

"What about my match?"

"Postponed, now go to the fighters' area, and we'll continue." The Uchiha jumped to the spot grumbling about lazy sensei.

"Oh it's you come to wish me luck on my match?"

"Not on your life Uchiha."

Any further argument was cut off by the proctor.

"Match seven, Yamanaka Ino vs. um... a Demoraki Kyu?"

"Who, I thought I was fighting Carl, right?" The boy stayed quiet and simply looked ahead.

"Alright." Kyu jumped down to the arena quickly followed by Ino.

"Proctor why is she fighting, she didn't even pass the first exam?"

"The Hokage has agreed to it, I don't know for what reasons."

"Answer me, why are you fighting and not Carl?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?"

"Tell me!" The jounin in the stands had as much of a clue as Ino.

"Hana I thought your third student passed, why is she fighting?"

"Hey your right, hm...I wonder why Nai-chan?" 'Come on, drop the bomb already I'm tired of waiting.'

"Why don't you even sound alarmed!"

"Don't worry, everything will work out."

"You say that, but if Carl doesn't fight then he remains a genin until next year." Kakashi reminded her. Hana gave him a blank stare.

"Is that a bad thing?"

"Why are you playing dumb, you know this isn't supposed to happen, right?" She didn't answer. They turned back to the fight knowing there was no way of getting her to speak short of Ibiki.

"Fight!"

"I'll end this quickly." Ino ran at her with kunai in hand and tried to cut up Kyu, failing each time. In a quick movement she removed the knives from her opponent's hands, tripped her, and sent her flying back with a hard kick to her shoulder. Kyu then decided to try balancing one of Ino's kunai on her finger. 'She's messing with me.' "Kai." The kunai she was balancing had a shock tag that froze Kyu in place. "Shintenshin no Jutsu."**** Kyubi, despite being shocked, side stepped without a problem. Ino's family slapped their foreheads at the simple dodge. Ino's body fell limp as her mind tried to find its way back.

'Like it would be that easy.' She walked over to the body on the ground. "Fan girls are so weak it isn't funny." Throwing the girl in the air she began a jutsu. "Katon: Ryuka no jutsu."***** The attack hit Ino the moment she had retrieved her mind. Though not strong enough to even burn her, the impact threw her into the stands, she was disqualified.

"Winner, Kyu Demoraki." The crowd's cheering began the loudest being the males. She went back to the waiting area where she was praised by Anko.

"Great job Kyu." She then kissed Kyu full on the lips, the screen used to show the winners of the matches just happened to still be on her face, almost everyone in the stadium fell back with nosebleeds, gender be damned. Jiraiya had begun to write in his notebook.

"Don't you have any shame?!"

"I thought you said you had a boyfriend?" Kiba, Hinata, and Chouji had decided on bringing Ino back and were staring blankly.

"I do have a boyfriend; I never said anything about my girlfriend."

"You two-timer."

"Uh no were both with him."

"Anko is with a guy, like that?"

"It can happen. Why do you sound so surprised."

"Who is he?" Sasuke had been caught up about the events and the girl by Sakura.

"Don't you know...?"

"You should have guessed by now..." They roughly grabbed Naruto's collar and kissed him at the same time, the other's eyes widened. "... He's our boyfriend." They each had big smiles on their faces.

"EHHHHHHHHHHHHH." The screen was still on them and men were literally being held back from charging into the room and finishing off Naruto after seeing that kiss. Hana was laughing off her seat at the other teacher's reactions; the sight of Naruto with those two had shaken them a little, especially since Hana had said he was gay. Jiraiya, for his part, seemed to have more and more to write every minute.

'Glad I came, but I can't believe I never asked about his love life. What kind of a pervert am I?!'

"But Naruto's gay he kissed Carl."

"You said I was which I'm not... and Carl." An earth clone burst next to them.

"That was me."

"Wait then you was always him, every time."

"Uh, I just said that."

"My head hurts."

"Damn you Sasuke, I want my money back." The guys present clearly didn't like losing their hard earned cash. He simply ignored them.

"Hey dope, fight me… right now." 'No one is getting in the way of my 'bring back the clan' plan, nobody.'

"Wouldn't that be pointless?" Shino was for once the object of the Uchiha's anger.

"No, being the stronger man is what an Uchiha's right; I will not be disgraced like this."

"I personally don't care, now I've got a sand ninja to find."

"You're running away, are you afraid?"

"Seriously, for once in your life shut up, go out with one of you fan girls if you want to but leave us alone." They turned away after Kyu's statement.

"Hold up." He grabbed at Anko this time.

"Don't touch her, either of them you." His eyes narrowed.

"Or what?"

"I like to keep some things in the dark, hehe see ya." They tried to find Garra but he was already in the arena. 'We're too late, now what?' They returned to their spot to watch the final match.

'Wait until after the exams and we'll see who's laughing then.'

"Final match of round one Garra vs. Uchiha Sasuke." Gaara release his sand, while Sasuke appeared in a flurry of leaves.

"Fight."
