The Corrupted Mind
Chapter 11
Naruto put his claws on, ready to fight, and Gaara started to pour out his sand from the gourd on his back.
" To start things of…" said Gaara, as he manipulated his sand around a still Naruto, not worried about the danger he looks like he's in.
" Sand Shower!" yelled Gaara as he launched the sand towards a still Naruto.
All the sand that approached Naruto was then cut up and blocked by wind.
" Hmm… So this is your jutsu? To manipulate wind without any motions or commands in impressive, just like me and my sand." Complemented Gaara.
" The only differences is, my wind is quicker." Said Naruto. He then ran up to Gaara, claws ready to tear at his defense.
Naruto made a slash movement, only for his claws to be caught by the sand. He pulled his hand back and rushed forward, his other hand in a stabbing form. He cut his way through the sand, ready to pierce at Gaara next.
Gaara made a wall of sand between the two, making Naruto jump up in time to get away from the sand that tried to get him from behind. He went back to his original position and looked towards Gaara.
" You keep up good. I should take a boost in speed." Said Naruto. Naruto then disappeared, surprising Gaara at his speed.
Naruto appeared behind the unsuspecting Gaara, and slashed upwards with his claws, going through Gaara's Armour of Sand and making a large gash appear on Gaara's back.
" GAAAAAHHHHHH!" Gaara yelled out in pain.
" That's what you get." Said Naruto as he jumped back again to a safe distance.
" AARRRGGGG! It hurts! Mother! It hurts!" he yelled. Gaara then covered up the wound with sand, containing the blood that was coming out of it.
"I'm coming for you now, Naruto!" he yelled and sand rushed at Naruto.
Arms formed from the sand and tried to grab at Naruto, but he dodge them and cut them both in half with swipes from his claws. He then dodge to the left the move from the sand that was coming down in the same spot he was in. He jumped up and prepared to use his next move.
" Fuuton: Tamed Winds!" and all the sand that was in the area was cut up and disfigured as the wind cut it all up. Gaara made a protective cocoon of sand to block the attack, but the wind was strong enough to cut the cocoon open and slash Gaara at his shoulder, causing more pain.
" Ahhhhhh! How! How are you doing this!" yelled a pained Gaara.
" You are to weak." Naruto said as he appeared right in front of Gaara and kicked him in the face, making him fly back into the arena wall.
" No! I won't lose! I have mother with me! Together we will kill you!" said Gaara as he started to gather sand on his body, covering him whole. The sand started to gain curse marks all over it, and Gaara opened his eyes to reveal a yellow, demonic eye, with a shuriken like shape as the pupil.
" How do you like me now, Uzumaki! Sand Shuriken!" yelled the Shukaku possessed Gaara as he launched shuriken made from sand towards Naruto.
The surprise look on Gaara's face when red chakra came out from Naruto and blocked all the shuriken. Naruto looked at Gaara with a bored look on his face.
" So small.." was all he said as he disappeared and then reappeared behind Gaara.
Just like Kiba, Gaara was sliced open, but the sand served its purpose, and protected Gaara some, making him only get a small cut on his stomach.
" You need to do better to kill me, Uzumaki! Fuuton: Infinite Sand Devastation!" yelled the recovering Gaara and shot a pressurized blast of sand and wind to Naruto.
" Fuuton: Up-Hill Current." Said Naruto, as he controlled the wind around him to push upward, also bringing Gaara's attack with it, protecting Naruto from the move.
" I'll come for you head on!" yelled Gaara as he rushed up to Naruto.
Gaara slashed with his right hand towards Naruto, but Naruto just simply ducked his head to dodge. He spun to the right to move away from Gaara's left arm that was coming down like a sledgehammer. Naruto took this opportunity and jumped behind Gaara, and inserted his claws into Gaara and blasted his insides with his yokai, messing with Gaara's chakra coils.
Gaara was dizzy from the attack and his sand was moving in ways that he wasn't control of. The sand was jumping around his body as the extra and foreign yokai that was inserted into it made the sand go haywire. Naruto then delivered a punch to Gaara's mid-section, to his right shoulder, and then stabbed him in his stomach, making Gaara hiss in pain.
"I need more, more power to defeat him! Make me feel even more alive now!" yelled Gaara as he gained control of his sand again and a tail of sand formed behind him.
" Sand Coffin!" yelled Gaara as sand covered Naruto all around his body, but he wasn't worried at all.
He was risen up in the air, and he looked down at the crazy Jinchuriki below him. It really was a pathetic sight. He really did think that he had Naruto in a corner.
" This is it! Sand Burial!" yelled Gaara and the sand around Naruto imploded, making Gaara grin with glee.
" I did it, I killed him! I feel so alive right now! You are dead Uzumak-" he didn't get to finish as the sand on Gaara body was cut up and this time hit skin. Gaara felt like he was put in a shredder as blades of wind stripped him of his defense and made contact with his skin.
"GGGAAAAAHHHHHHHhhhhh!" he yelled as the sand fell off of him and fell to the ground below him. He soon also followed suit as he hit the ground, wheezing and panting from his injuries and chakra exhaustion.
Gaara looked up to see Naruto come from the same sand that he thought that killed him.
" How?" he asked with a pained face.
" I covered myself with yokai, I stole your technique for a second and defended myself from your sand. I was safe from your sand, and when you let your guard down, I strike, resulting in what we have here." Said Naruto as he looked down at Gaara's downed form.
" I…I can't lose." Whispered Gaara.
" Yes, you shall. You were going to lose when you stepped in the arena with to much confidence. I didn't even get to use my tails. That proves how weak you are, only depending on your sand to protect you. Also, Shukaku's a boy, not a girl, so stop calling him 'mother'." Said Naruto.
Gaara just looked up at Naruto with an angry scowl coming forth on his face.
" No….NO.. NO! I won't lose, not to you or anyone else!" he yelled and stood up. He concentrated the last of his chakra and made a large wave of sand go towards Naruto.
" Sand Tsunami!" he yelled as the wave neared Naruto.
" Tch, I wanted to keep my fire jutsu to myself, but I guess I can use it here." Said Naruto as he looked up at the sand wave nearing him.
He took a deep breath and launched his jutsu.
" Katon: Fox Fire!" he said and a very large fireball in the shape of a fox was rushing towards the wave.
The two techniques meet in the middle, and Naruto's jutsu easily surpassed Gaara's technique, and his sand wave turned into glass.
Gaara just looked at the sight with a defeated look on his face.
"No… How is that possible?" he then looked at Naruto. " How are you so strong?" he yelled towards Naruto.
Naruto just walked up towards Gaara. He used his tails and smashed the glass, making it fall to the ground, none of the shards hit him at all.
Gaara started to back away from Naruto, scared for his life. He felt the KI rolling off of Naruto and it scared him shitless. Gaara then hit the arena wall, not being able to go any farther.
" Stay away!" yelled Gaara. It fell onto death ears as Naruto made his way right in front of Gaara.
Naruto just looked down at Gaara, and put his finger at Gaara's seal.
" Have a good sleep." He said as he sent his yokai to the seal, fixing it, and knocking Gaara out in the process.
Naruto turned around and started to walk towards the stairs to the competitor's box, ignoring all the shocked faces in the crowd.
Competitor's Box
All the genin, except for Sakura and Sasuke, were all shocked at the fact that Naruto just completely destroyed Gaara, the same monster that took on Rock Lee and still came out with out a scratch.
Temari looked over to see Sasuke and Sakura's un-shocked faces, and asked the question.
" Why aren't you two surprised? He just won so easily?" she asked.
" Naruto winning isn't a surprise to us. He will win this tournament. No one here is strong enough to take him own." Said Sasuke.
" Hmph, he may be strong, but fate has already decided that I will win this tournament." Said Neji.
" I don't believe in fate, as it is a illogical factor, seeing as things can change so quickly and easily, especially in a ninja's life." Wisely stated Shino.
Mito and Menma were looking down at Naruto as he entered the tunnel to come up to the competitors box.
" Oh my god, Menma, he is to strong. We won't win if we go against him." Said Mito to her older brother.
Menma just grit his teeth at the thought of him losing the tournament because of Naruto. He knew that he had to prove to himself and Hinata that he could take any situation and come on top. But he knew the way he was now, he wouldn't be able to take on Naruto and live.
" Damn it, I know. If one of us actually face him, he really would kill us." Said Menma with a very scared look on his face.
" What do we do now?" asked Mito.
" Worry about the next match, after all, it is you and me, Mito-san." Said Sasuke as he walked to the stairs to get to the arena.
Menma looked at Mito and put his hands on each of his sister's shoulders.
"Mito, you have been training hard for this. You can beat Sasuke for sure, just believe in yourself and don't do stupid moves that may cost you, alright?" said Menma.
With a nod of he head, she jumped down to arena, ready to face Sasuke Uchiha.
Hallway
Sasuke was walking down the stairs and he saw Naruto start to get closer to him. The two didn't even say a word to each other as they passed each other. Not even eye contact, but it was alright with Sasuke.
" I don't need to wish you luck because I know you will win, so all I shall say to you is to not take so long." Said Naruto as he continued to walk up.
Sasuke grinned at the words, ready to beat Mito and face Naruto in the next round.
" Sure, I'll make things quick." Sasuke said as he continued to the stadium.
Arena
" Are you two ready?" asked Genma. With a nod of both genin's head, he announced.
" First round, Second battle, Sasuke Uchiha and Mito Uzumaki Namikaze… Begin!" he yelled and jumped back.
" You ready to lose?" said Mito.
" I won't lose to you, Hokage's daughter or not, you are to weak for me." Said a calm Sasuke.
" Weak! You don't understand who you're going against, do you? I have-"
" I don't want to hear your introduction of yourself and your parents. You may be the Hokage and the Uzumaki's child, but I also know that you are a bad sister." Said Sasuke, hitting a swore spot for Mito.
" Shut up! We're trying are hardest to get Naruto back into the family." Yelled Mito to Sasuke.
" There shouldn't be a 'trying to'. It shouldn't have never happen! You let your own older brother out to the streets to live for himself, and you hate him like everyone else. You and your family are the worse of his abusers because you are family and still couldn't see the differences between Naruto and the Kyuubi! Your mother held both the soul and chakra of the kyuubi, but do you treat her like a demon? No! The whole family is a bunch of hypocrites!" accused Sasuke, making everyone in the stadium quiet.
" How dare you!" she yelled at him.
" How dare me? How dare you! You hated Naruto, but then act like you want him to be apart of your fake family. Just two months ago you were cursing his name, now look at you. Running for Naruto when it's already to late. Who would even let their own child by their selves just because of their status. This village is corrupt to the bone." Said Sasuke, looking straight at Minato and Kushina when he said this.
" That's why, when I become Hokage, I'll make sure that everyone will be treated nice and fairly, like how they should be!" he yelled, surprising people that Sasuke wished to be Hokage.
" News flash. You won't be Hokage, I will." Said Mito, as a sword from a scroll came in her hands.
" You want to play with swords? Fine, but know with mine, you won't last." Said Sasuke. He then moved his arm cuffs down to reveal a storage seal. He put some of his chakra into it what came out the seal shocked everyone.
" That's….. The legendary twin lightning swords, Kiba! How do you have them!" yelled Mito in shock and fear.
" Ironically, Naruto gave them to me. Oh, the day you become Hokage," Sasuke then started charging up his swords, lightning coming from the sky and blasting Sasuke and his swords. Sasuke controlled the lightning and it danced around him, the blue sparks making Sasuke shine.
" Is the day I'll leave Konoha!" he yelled as he rushed towards Mito in amazing speeds.
Mito hardly had anytime to parry Sasuke's swipe with his sword, but forgot about the other one and he made a swipe at her left arm, making a gash from there.
Mito jumped back and watch as the gash on her arm gain smoke, noticing the mark started to heal at a slow pace. She looked back up to see Sasuke….. Only that he wasn't there.
" What? Wh-" she was cut of as Sasuke came from the side and kicked her in her face, making her fly away from the force behind it.
" Your to slow for me." He said to her.
Mito came from the rubble with an angry scowl on her face. " I'm coming for you now, Sasuke!" she yelled as chains erupted from back and charged at Sasuke.
The two meet in the middle of the arena and clashed with their swords. Sauske used his other to swipe at her again, but the chains in her back caught the attack. She went for a kick to his chin, but he bent back to dodge the attack. Sasuke then charged up his swords and readied his next attack.
" Lightning Burial: Banquet of Lightning!" he said as he jumped away from Mito, leaving one of his swords that was caught in Mito's chains. Lightning then started to come down to the area where Mito was, and crashed right on top of her, the sword acting as a lightning rod.
"AAAAHHHHHH!" she screamed out as she received the full blast of the attack.
Once it ended, Mito fell to the ground.
" Tch, weak. I didn't even have to use my Sharingan to beat you." He said as he walked over to Mito's body and grabbed his sword.
Sasuke turned his head to Genma," She is done, pleas-" he then looked down at Mito grabbed his ankle.
" No…not yet…" she said.
" Get off me." He said as he shook her hand off of him. He then widen his eyes as a red chakra took over Mito's body. She got up to reveal red eyes just like Naruto's, her nails grew and her whiskers were more defined than before. Her teeth sharpened and she looked at Sasuke with an angry scowl.
" I'm not done with you!" she yelled and ran up to Sasuke. Sasuke had to duck to avoid the punch she threw at him. He then straightened up and kneed her in her stomach. She took the hit and grabbed Sasuke by his collar and head butted him on his forehead. She let go and kicked him in his stomach, making him fly back.
" Did that wake you up? Fight me seriously!" she yelled as red chakra surrounded her.
Sasuke looked up at her and wiped the side of his mouth with the back of his hand. He stood up and looked at her, gripping his sword handles tightly.
" Yeah, I hear you, loud and clear." He said. He then activated his Sharingan, and three totems appeared and circled around his black pupil. " But you shall still lose." He said with a smile.
She growled and ran up to him and cocked her hand back in a punch, but was shocked when he just dodged.
What! How can he dodge me with the speed that I'm going at…. She thought as he went in for a kick, but he caught it with his hands.
Sasuke through her to the ground and readied his swords.
" Lightning Dragon Tornado!" he yelled and his swords made a large dragon of lightning and charged at Mito.
Mito made hand signs and readied her own jutsu. " Suiton: Water Dragon Bullet!" and sent a dragon made of water at Sasuke's dragon, the two meeting each other in the middle and clashed.
Sasuke's dragon broke through and charged towards Mito, but she was ready.
" Suiton: Drilling Water Spears!" and used the water from her last attack to make twisting drills of water towards the dragon. The drills pierced the dragon, making it exploded. The rest of the drills went towards Sasuke. He jumped up to the drills and cut them down with his swords, taking no damage at all. When he made it to the ground, he used his next technique.
" Katon: Great Fireball Jutsu!" and launched a fire ball towards Mito.
Mito made her chakra chains into a shield to stop the attack. When it ended, she brought her chains down, only to see that Sasuke was gone. She looked around to see him on the side of the arena wall, charging up his attack.
Sasuke was glaring down at Mito, and sent the lightning chakra to his palm. Lightning erupted from his hand. He looked down at Mito and said. " Get ready, this one will do more than just hurt you." And ran down the side of the wall.
Mito made a clone and with it's help made a small blue orb of chakra. She rushed towards Sasuke and the two meet in the middle of the arena, their techniques at full power.
" Chidori!"
" Rasengan!"
The two clashed and a major blast of force came from the two techniques. For a while the two were even, but Sasuke started to push forward.
" Your still to weak!" he said and pushed forward, and a cloud of smoke blocked everyone's view.
When it cleared, it revealed Sasuke panting a little, and Mito on her knees, a fist sized gash on her shoulder.
" I'm surprised your still conscious. It must be the Kyuubi's chakra though, not your own. I have no demonic chakra helping me and I still won. Remember, I don't care what family you came from, you can still lose," Mito then looked at Sasuke's eyes, and fell out to the Genjutsu that he placed on her that quick. He then turned around and walked to the stairs, finishing his statement.
" That's something I had to learn, and it was from Naruto." He said as he started climbing the stairs.
" Winner, Sasuke Uchiha!" announced Genma.
The Stands
"Wow, Kakashi, you trained your students well." Said Asuma as he took a whiff from his cigarette.
" No, I just improved on Sasuke's fighting. Everything you saw today was all him." He said.
" So what your students said at the preliminaries were true, you didn't teach them." Said Kurenai.
" Yes, I was to lazy to notice my mistake, and now only Sasuke wants my help, and he still doesn't like me. I have failed my students." He said.
" No, my youthful rival, you must continue to push trust into your students and they will receive that and in turn, trust you to. You must remain vigilant!" yelled Gai to Kakashi.
" I don't think that will work anymore, Gai." Said Kakahi as he watched the medical team take Mito away.
Arena
" Will Temari of the Sand and Shikamaru Nara please come down." Said Genma.
" Tch, how troublesome. Maybe I should just quit." Said Shikamaru.
" No, you can't quit, you made it this far!" yelled Sakura to Shikamaru.
" I know, it's just that I'm fighting a girl and all, and I'm not that into hitting woman." He said.
" I don't care, go down there and show them who Shikamaru Nara is." Said Sakura.
" I'm a lazy cloud watcher, me quitting will be the best way to show them who I am." He said and started to walk away.
" Oh no you don't." said Sakura. She grabbed Shikamaru and through him out the competitor's box and down to the arena.
" Bitch" he said as he made his way down.
30 minutes later- Hospital room.
Gaara open his eyes and winced at the light that was coming down from the window. He got up and looked around to see that he was in a hospital room, his gourd and cloths on the other side of the room in a chair.
Hospital room? That means I lost. I'm sorry, mother… thought Gaara, only to receive no response at all.
Mother?.... he said again.
….
…..
…..
No response.
Gaara lifted his hospital gown up to see the seal on his chest, and saw that it was locked up and better than it was last time.
He then widened his eyes as he remembered Naruto sending his claws right where the seal was located, and sent some of his yokai to the seal, making Gaara feel funny.
" He fixed the seal." He whispered in disbelief.
Gaara let his shirt down and stared at the wall in front him. He then smiled a true smile, something he hasn't done in a long time.
" I'm…free…." He said.
…
….
…
I'M FREEEEE!
Back to the arena
" I surrender." Said Shikamaru, as he held Temari in his jutsu.
" What! Why?" said a confused Temari.
" This jutsu eats away at my chakra, the jutsu is actually about to fade away." And true to what he said, the jutsu became undone, freeing Temari from Shikamaru's shadow.
" Ugh, I'm tired. My moms gonna kill me for quitting. I can hear her yells now. How troublesome." He said as he walked away from the middle of the field.
" Winner, Temari of the Sand! Will Sakura Haruno and Fu come down to the arena." Said Genma.
" Alright, it's finally my turn! Your going down, pinky!" said Fu as she jumped down to the arena.
" It's my turn. I hope I do good." Whimpered Sakura.
" You will." Said Sasuke as he came from the stairwell. " After all, this is what you have been training for." Said Sasuke with a smile.
" Yeah, but I can't help but feel a little nervous." Said Sakura.
" Don't be." Said Naruto, as he walked over to the two. " Your opponent is a Jinchuriki, like me, but she is rash and loud. Take her down when she would lest expect it."
" Alright, I'll try." Said Sakura as she jumped down to the stadium.
" You know," said Sasuke to Naruto, " even though you try to deny it, you have to have some positive feelings for us."
" Even if I do," said Naruto, " Kurama-chan would just kill them anyway, seeing as she doesn't trust anyone in relation to Konaha." Said Naruto.
" About that, what happened to you? A month ago you hated her, and now you say you accept her." Questioned Sasuke.
" I shall tell you later, right now, focus on Sakura's fight." Said Naruto.
In the Arena
" Are you two ready?" asked Genma, and getting a nod from the both of the fighters.
" First round, fourth battle, Haruno Sakura vs. Fu, begin!" yelled Genma
" Get ready, because here I come!" yelled Fu as she ran up to Sakura.
Sakura, getting in a defensive stance and activated her Chakra Scalpels, readied for Fu's assault. Fu came in with a kick, and Sakura tried to grab it, but she shifted her body in the air in the last second, making her other leg come down on Sakura's right shoulder, causing her to scream out in pain. Her being distracted by her pain, Fu went into a fury of punches to Sakura, most of them connecting to their target.
Sakura jumped back to avoid the last kick from Fu, and made some space between the two.
"Doton: Earth Dome!" she yelled as earth surrounded her, protecting her from Fu.
" Your going to have to come out, and when you do, I'll finish this." Said a confident Fu.
Inside the dome, Sakura was thinking of what she should do next.
Damn it, that girl is even stronger than me when it comes to natural strength. And that move she did in the air was unexpected either. How can I bet her? That red thing on her back must mean something to. Hmmmm, maybe I'll go with that….. thought Sakura.
Fu was watching the earth dome and then, the front part of the dome fell down to reveal Sakura, throwing some kunai at Fu. Fu expertly dodge them all and ran up to Sakura.
" I've got you now!" she yelled at Sakura and entered the dome.
When she was about to punch Sakura, she sunk in to the ground, surprising Fu, and the front of the dome was rebuilt, closing Fu in.
" What's going on?" said Fu as she looked around in the darkness of the dome.
Sakura then came from the ground outside of the dome and held a hand sign.
" I have planted many explosive notes inside the dome, surrender now and I won't detonate them." Said a serious Sakura.
Sakura didn't hear anything at first, but then she heard Fu laughing inside.
" Do you really think that this shall stop me! You gotta' try harder, pinky!" yelled Fu.
" So be it, Kai!" Sakura yelled, but she didn't hear any explosions.
" What happened?" said Sakura.
She then started to hear some buzzing inside the dome, and then the whole dome fell down reveal Fu and many bugs around her, all of them coming from the red cylinder on Fu's back.
" Me and my beetles shall bet you, pinky!" yelled Fu as she came from the rubble of the dome.
"Beetles! EWWWW!" said Sakura as she watched in disgust as Fu let the beetles crawl around her.
" Stop talking about my beetles! They are what most dangerous about me, you'll see now." Said Fu as the beetles started to fly towards Sakura.
Sakura was running away from the beetles, not noticing Fu jump in front of her a deliver a punch on her face.
Oh no that bitch didn't! Sakura, you better kick that green-haired, beetle loving, piece of shits ass. NOWW! Yelled Inner Sakura, making Sakura gain a fire in her eyes.
Sakura grabbed Fu's wrist and slammed her to the ground. She pounded her mid-section with her feet, and then kicked her to the arena wall.
" How'd you like that, huh?" said Sakura, only for her to widen her eyes in shock to see Fu come out the wall without a scratch.
" That wasn't nothing, since I have my beetles." Said Fu, as she turned around to show Sakura a blue like shield on her back.
" What is that?" asked Sakura.
" This is my technique, Exoskeleton Armor, made by my beetles, the Kabutomushi, or the Japanese horned beetles." Said Fu, as the shield broke down to reveal that is was beetles all along.
" What kind of beetles are those?" asked Sakura.
" They are a beetles with a fork- like horn on them. Their exoskeleton that protects them are super dense, even more with my chakra. I can use them to protect me and to eat at my opponents chakra, the same I did with those explosive notes of yours in that earth dome." Explained Fu.
" So that's how you took no damage, because of the beetles." Said Sakura.
" Yup, but then there is another beetle that I can control to." Said Fu, and then Sakura feel down to the ground, her body numb.
" What's going on?" said Sakura. She looked at her skin to see beetles that almost looked like ladybugs.
"OMG! Gross! Get these things off of me!" yelled Sakura as she started to brush the beetles off her skin.
" Those are my other beetles, the Diamphida, or the Bushman arrow poison beetle. Their poison can eat at a person's skin and organs slowly and painfully. I'm the type of opponent who drags out battles. I have a amazing defense and a killing offense. So it is your own choice to surrender, but that would be to boring now, would it!" said Fu as her Kabutomushi took over her body, making her look like a knight with blue armor all around her.
" Time to give up, pinky!" yelled Fu as she rushed towards the downed Sakura.
Sakura was defenseless to the onslaught that Fu gave her. When she was done, Sakura had bruises all over her body, and she was sickly pale.
" How do you feel now, pinky? I have one other trick I have to reveal before I can let you go." Said the armored Fu. Her fingertips started to glow a light blue, and she made chakra threads and connected them to Sakura.
" I have a special ability to convert my chakra it silk. Since you seem like your about to die, I'll cover you up in a nice special cocoon coffin." Said Fu as she moved her arms in amazing speeds, the silk dancing around Sakura, covering her in silk. When Fu was done, Sakura was fully covered and inside the cocoon.
" Time to die, pinky! You were nothing but a fan girl any way. You gave a nice fight, though. Toddles!" said Fu.
Inside the cocoon, Sakura was thinking to herself.
I can't lose now, I've been training so hard! I won't lose to her! Thought Sakura.
That's right bitch! Said Inner Sakura, You gotta' bet that hoe out there to win. Plus, Sasuke-kun is watching! How do you think he is thinking about you right now! He's probably saying, ' so she was nothing but a weak fan girl, I have no use for her now! Maybe I should just move on to Ino…."
Hearing that, Sakura snapped her eyes open, determination in her eyes.
I won't let that bitch win! Even if I do lose, I most defiantly won't die! Said Sakura.
A blue light started to take over Sakura. It was her chakra, and she was using her perfect chakra control to use her Mystical Palm Technique to heal her whole body without moving her hands. She then channeled chakra to her hands, activating her Chakra Scalpels…
Fu saw the blue light and smirked. " It's no use! Your to weak to escape the-" she was interrupted when a blast came from the cocoon.
When the smoke cleared, it revealed a perfectly healthy Sakura, with something else in her hands.
" Sometimes in the medical field, an injury or a poison may do to much to a certain part of the body." Said Sakura with a dead voice.
Fu looked down at Sakura hands and what she had scared the shit out of her, even in her armor.
" To save that person's life, you must cut off a certain limb to save the rest of the body." Said Sakura.
What was in Sakura's hands were no longer scalpels of chakra, but long, thick knives in her palms.
" Medical ninja use butchers to cut those parts off, I use my evolved form of my scalpels, Chakra Butchers, and with these, I'll win!" yelled Sakura as she rushed to Fu in amazing speeds.
Fu used her armor from her beetles to defend, and it did it's job. Sakura had a lot of force behind her attack, but it didn't cut through her defense.
Fu smirked when she saw this. " Ha, still to weak!" she taunted, but got a little worried when she saw Sakura's smile, she got worried.
Fu then heard shriek of pain, and looked down to see her beetles splitting apart where Sakura hit at.
" Even though they are butcher, they still have the same effects as my Chakra Scalpels, messing with the nervous system, cutting connections with the brain, making a limb unable to move. Your beetles are going through that same pain now!" said Sakura as she continued to attack Fu.
Sakura kept dodging Fu's attempts to attack, and went for the counters, successfully peeling Fu's armor of beetles off of her. When Sakura jumped back, Fu was completely defenseless. Fu was gasping for breath, her attacks and her armor being forcefully taken off of her did a number to her chakra reserves.
" Are you ready to lose." Said Sakura.
" Hell.. No.. I won't back down!" said Fu as her and Sakura meet in the middle of the arena, and smashed their fist together. The suspense was high in the arena as everyone wonder who would win.
Fu and Sakura just looked at each other's eye, both seeing the pain they went through during the fight.
" Good.. match, Fu-san." Said Sakura.
" You to….pinky. I hope you go far." Said Fu as her eyes rolled to the back of her head and hit the ground, unconscious.
" Winner, Haruno Sakura!" yelled Genma.
Sakura widened her eyes when she heard her name.
" I…won… I won.. I WON! CCCCCHHHHHAAAA!" Sakura yelled her victory cry.
" YEAH, SAKURA! MOMMY LOVES YOU!" Said a voice in the cheering crowd, making Sakura sweat-drop and go back up to the competitor's box.
The medical crew came in and picked Fu's body up to be heal properly, and then Genma announced the next match.
" Will Kankuro of the Sand and Shino Aburama come down to the arena." Said Genma.
When the two came down to the arena, Genma gave the signal to start.
" First Round, Fifth Battle. Shino Aburama vs. Kankuro of the Sand, Begin!" he yelled and jumped back.
" Ready to lose, bug boy?" Questioned Kankuro as he got out his pupped, Crow, from its bandages.
Shino didn't responded, but the bugs around made sounds that spread around the arena.
" No talking huh. I like that, means we both can focus on the fight!" Kankuro said as he launched Crow towards Shino.
Curved knives came out of Crow's wrist, and Kankuro pointed them at Shino's head. Before they could hit Shino, he grabbed the puppets arms and held it down.
" Go." Was all Shino said, and all he needed to say. His bugs invaded all over Crow's body and then getting to the chakra threads that were attached to Kankuro's fingertips.
By the time they got to Kankuro's hands, the bugs were all on the chakra thread that controlled Crow. Kankuro was to busy trying to get the bugs off of him to notice.
" Give up. You have no control over your puppet, and seeing as that is your main weapon, you are at my mercy." Said Shino.
Kankuro saw as the bugs chewed through his chakra threads and ultimately cut his connection with Crow, making the puppet fall to the ground.
" I surrender." Said a very angry Kankuro, hating he lost and so quickly as well.
" Do not feel bad, for I was the worst match up for you." Said Shino as he made his way back up to the competitor's box.
" Winner, Shino Aburama!" said Genma. " Will Menma Uzumaki Namikaze and Neji Hyuga come down to the arena."
Menma was about to go down the stairs, but received a hug from behind him.
" Good luck, brother. Remember, your doing this for yourself, not to Hinata. Focus only on the match." Said Mito.
"Mito! Are you ok from your match with Sasuke?" asked Menma.
" Yeah, I'm not in full health, but the medical team really knew what they were doing, so I'll be better by tomorrow." She said. " But I'm here to make sure that you don't get distracted during your fight." Said Mito.
" Don't worry, I'll be fine, just make sure your good yourself before you want to check up on me." Said Menma with a smile. The two shared a laugh and then Menma went towards the stair well.
Naruto was watching the scene with a blank look. He turned his head back down to the field with evil thoughts in mind.
You better not lose this battle, brother, because if I do when would I be able to kill you? Thought Naruto with a smirk on his face, his tails swaying dangerously at the thought of crushing Menma between them.
Menma and Neji were now in the middle of the arena, staring each other down with their glares as strong as ever.
" Fate has decided for me to win, and you to lose. Why do you fight? I heard what happened between you and Hinata, even she doesn't believe that you will win against me, so why continue to prove that you can." Said Neji with a viciously cocky smirk.
Menma just glared even more at the arrogant Hyuga. He wasn't going to be brought down with simple words.
" Even if she didn't, I won't lose to you because I made a oath to win, even if she doesn't believe it. No one will stop my journey to the top of this tournament!" yelled Menma.
While the two were exchanging words, Hinata herself, along with Kiba and Kurenai were watching the match together.
" So he is still mad at you." Said Kurenai.
" Yeah, he hasn't talked to me ever since what happened in the hospital. I feel so bad." Said a very sad Hinata.
" Well you should!" said Kiba with a angry look on his face. " Menma cared for you and when you say something like that, of course he would be mad! You're a nice girl, Hinata, but doing something like that is something you'll have to pay for, no matter who you are." Said Kiba, his dog Akamaru barking in agreement.
" I know… I shall still cheer for Menma-kun. I must put the same faith in him as he did me." Said Hinata, making Kurenai smile at her.
Back down in the arena, Genma was about to announce the start of the match.
" Are you two ready?" asked Genma, getting a nod from the two ninjas. Genma then looked towards the crowd.
" Round 1, Battle 6, Menma Uzumaki Namikaze vs. Neji Hyuga shall now…..Begin!" he shouted and jumped back from the fighters.
From the start Menma made some Kage Bunshins ran towards Neji test his Taijutsu.
The first two clones ran up with there fist held high, but Neji expertly dodge the two attacks and grabbed the two clones by their outstretched arms and through them to the other clones, dispelling four of them. The smoke of the destroyed clones made the other five clones not able to see Neji anymore, but then Neji jumped out the smoke, surprising the clones and attack them with quick jabs to the stomach, making them dispel as well. Neji then looked towards Menma.
" Your going to have to do better than simple clones to even touch me." Said Neji with a smirk.
" Yeah, well how about this then! Raiton: False Darkness!" yelled Menma and sent a large lightning bolt towards Neji.
Neji just smirked at the attack that was quickly approaching him and used his best defensive technique.
" Eight Trigrams: Palm Rotation!" he said and a chakra dome covered him as he spun around on the inside, effectively blocking Menma's technique.
"What is that." Said Menma.
" My Heavenly Rotation can block all attacks with the right amount of chakra. You shall not touch me during this whole fight." Said Neji with a smirk.
" Will see about that." Said Menma and sent kunai all towards Neji. Neji, recognizing the weird shaped kunai, he used his rotation to block them all again.
" I know how the Haraishin works. The three-pronged kunai must be near me for you to actually teleport close to me, but if the kunai are far away from me, you will only be able to teleport places that are a safe distance from me. Your technique is useless against me." Said Neji.
" Not yet." Said Menma said as he rushed towards Neji with his kunai in hand.
Menma made a slash attempt with both his kunai, but Neji dodged both and attacked some of Menma's chakra points. He went for the kick, but Neji grabbed his leg and with one quick jab to his cab muscles, Menma screamed out in pain. Neji almost hit him again, only for Menma to disappear in a yellow flash towards one of his kunai stuck in the ground.
" Do you realize what is happening here? You can't win offensively and I also have the best defense between us two. How can you win? You should just quit here, there is no point in continuing this match, surrender." Said Neji.
" Ain't no way I'm quitting now, I've things to do and people to face in this match. If you can stop me then I have no point in going for dream of becoming Hokage. I'll win and prove to you that I can change the Hyuga clan!" said a confident Menma, but winced in pain as he stood up.
" Well so far you aren't proving that you can beat me." Said Neji.
" Shut up. I can beat you, plus I no your weakness." Said Menma with a smile, making Neji scowl.
" So what, you can't do anything about that. I have my weak point perfectly covered with my defense." Said Neji.
" Ever since I've been with Hinata, I studied up on my Hyuga knowledge to see how you all think and work. The blind spot is a certain point on the back of your head, and all I have to do is hit that point hard to make a game winning blow." Said Menma with a smile that almost made Neji worried.
Menma then got out some kunai and started throwing them all on the stadium walls, confusing Neji at the action. Menma then made some clones and positioned some around Neji, the others around the kunai that were planted on the walls.
" What are you planning?" said Neji.
" Winning." Said Menma, then all the clones on the ground threw kunai at Neji, making him go to his defense.
" Palm Rotation!" yelled Neji, blocking all the kunai that were thrown towards him. When he started to slow down, Menma saw his opportunity.
" Now!" he yelled to the clones on the wall, and they all threw kunai at Neji now that his defense was gone.
" Damn it, that was what he was planning all along." Said Neji as he started to dodge the kunai thrown at him. There were to many and he got a couple cuts on his legs and arms, and one kunai lodged in his back.
" That was to close." Whispered Neji as he took the kunai out his back and almost yelled at the pain that he was in while taking out the kunai. He then noticed the kunai and saw a the seal on it.
" Oh shit." He said and Menma flashed in front of Neji. He hit Neji with two powerful punches to the face and kicked at him in the stomach, and jumped away before Neji could do anything.
" That's your strategy? Hit and run!" said Neji as he coughed out some blood.
" Yup, and it seems to be working really well." Said Menma.
Menma did the process again, and almost got the same results. Neji dodged kunai the clones on the wall threw at him, and when Menma appeared, he was ready.
" You are within my field of divination." Said Neji as he got into his Gentle Fist stance.
Menma, not ready for the speed that Neji went at, was hit with everything that Neji threw at him.
" Two palms! Four Palms! Eight Palms! Sixteen Palms! Thirty-two Palms!" yelled Neji. Menma looked up at the stances to see his father looking down at his son with a worried face.
" Damn it." Whispered Menma.
" Sixty- Four Palms!" yelled Neji as he hit Menma with a barrage of palm strikes to Menma's body, making him fly back of the force of the attack and hit the ground hard.
" Do you see the difference in strength now? You won't win, you won't change the Hyuga clan, and you most defiantly won't become Hokage!" said Neji, looking at Menma's downed form.
" Menma-kun, please be alright." Said Hinata from the stands.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura looked at Menma in the crater in the ground without care.
" It seems you were to weak to win after all, brother." Said Naruto as he closed his eyes in disappointment.
" You won't do anything you said you would do in your life, no matter if you are the Hokage's child. You will only be known as a failure." Said Neji as he turned from Menma's body.
" No…. I won't." said Menma as he got back up, surprising everyone in the arena.
" How are you still standing? You should be even able to move a muscle!" said a very angry Neji.
" I'm a very stubborn person, that's why." Said Menma.
" No matter, you won't be able to call on any of your chakra so you'll still lose." Said Neji.
Damn it, he is right. I can't feel any of my chakra at all. I guess I'll have to call on it's chakra… thought Menma as he started to call on the kyuubi's chakra.
" It won't work, your will just fail at it, just like how you will fail at everything else. That's what failures do!" shouted Neji.
" Shut up." Said Menma. " I don't want to hear your mouth anymore. Calling me a failure but I'm still standing. I won't let anyone say such things about me. If they do, I'll prove them wrong ten fold!" yelled Menma as red chakra surrounded him.
What is this chakra? Is this the kyuubi's chakra that is sealed inside of him! It's so dense, so strong….. thought Neji as he watched the chakra take a form a fox. Menma's eyes were crimson red, his whisker marks more defined, his nails sharped, and his teeth were like fangs.
" I'm gonna win, believe it!" said Menma as he ran towards Neji.
Neji coated himself in his own chakra and rushed to meet Menma in their final clash.
Both rushed towards each other and their chakra's clashed against each other until the force blew both of them back into separate craters.
Everyone in the stadium were on their feet in suspense to see who was going to win the fight.
Slowly, Neji came out of his crater with marks all over his body, bleeding heavily but still function. He walked over to Menma to see him curled up in his crater, smoke coming from his body.
" Tch, I told you, you would fail. You failed to beat me and you also fail to gain your brother back. Once a failure, always a failure. Protector, call the match, he won't-"
Menma came from the ground underneath Neji and uppercuttd the shit out of Neji, making him throw up blood and fly back to the ground.
" Got ya, you stupid faith preaching piece of shit." Said Menma as he walked towards Neji.
" How… How are you standing?" asked Neji.
" I told you, I'm just to stubborn to loss to you." Said Menma as he looked at Neji.
" But…" Neji looked over at Menma's crater and the body that was in it. His eyes widen in surprise when he saw the body dispel, proving that it was a clone.
" Heh, can't believe I fell for that." Said Neji as he looked at Menma.
" Well, even a Hyuga with almost perfect sight can still be surprised." Said Menma with a smile.
" Yeah, I guess so…" Neji said.
" So what do you have to say now? I know you can't move, so it would seem like you lost in my eyes. But I thought fate was going to make me lose." Said Menma with a glare at Neji.
Neji just turned his head, having nothing to say.
"I know a lot about you, Hinata's told me about your past, but I won't say it out loud because it isn't everyone's business in the first place. I know your prideful, but sometimes that isn't the best thing. You have to trust the people near you in order to achieve your goals, something I had to realize. You said I was a failure, which is true." Said Menma, much to Neji's surprise.
" I failed at protecting Hinata from you, failed at me actually thinking that I could beat you with one hand tied around my back, I'm still a failure at my own clan jutsu, seeing as I can hardly make a single chakra chain." Said Menma. He then looked up to Naruto with a sad smile. " I'm a failure at being a good younger brother to my older brother." He said which made Neji widen his eyes more.
" But just cause I'm bad at somethings doesn't mean I'm a failure, though. I am a great ninja, I can hold my own to come this far in the Chunin Exams, strong enough to beat you in a death match." He said which earned him a glare from Neji.
" You on the other hand don't have to be like me. You are a prodigy at your clan jutsu, you were rookie of the year from your class, your one of Konaha's strongest genin!" he said.
" I might be a failure at somethings, but you aren't. So stop spilling the 'faith this' and 'faith that' because faith must have not been on your side cause I beat you. So just accepted the fact that I'll be Hokage one day and I'll be the one to change Hyuga clan, believe it!" he said and he sent his right hand to Neji.
Neji just looked at the hand, before shacking it and nodding towards Menma.
Genma just looked at the sight with a smile and announced the winner.
" Winner, Menma Uzumaki Namikaze!" he said a got a standing ovation from the crowd.
" Heh, heh, I won! Menma Uzumaki Namikaze is moving on in the tournament!" he said with a smile as he danced in the arena.
Hinata just looked at him with a smile, giggling at the sight of Menma.
" Good job, Menma-kun. You proved me wrong." She said with a smile.
The arena
Naruto, Sasuke, Temari, Sakura, Shino, Menma, and Dosu stood in a single file line in front of the Hokage.
" Good job you all, the battles you had today were amazing. You shall continue the finals tomorrow and fight your next opponent. You shall spend the night in the hospital to recover and be healed by our finest medical ninjas, making sure that your at one hundred percent tomorrow for the tournament. Now let me say the matches." Said Minato as everyone looked on the see who would be against who.
" For the secound round of the Chunin Exam Finals, the matches will be in order like this:
1st Match- Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze vs. Sasuke Uchiha
2nd Match- Temari of the Sand vs. Sakura Haruno
3rd Match- Shino Aburama vs. Menma Uzumaki Namikaze.
" Dosu-san." Said Minato, catching the mummy like sound ninja. " You shall be paired against who ever wins in the 3rd match, agreed?" said Minato, and with a nod of his head, Minato continued.
" You all deserve much needed rest, so please go to the hospital to spend your hours until tomorrow's matches!" yelled Minato as everyone in the stadium cheered.
Everyone started to leave the stadium, Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto left out the same tunnel to leave the stadium, but before they could, they heard a voice.
" Naruto!" said Kushina as she ran up to Naruto.
" What do you want?" said Naruto as he turned towards her.
" Please reconsider about your decision about you family! We will change our ways and accepted you! Please! I don't want to see one of my children die by the hands of another!" she yelled to him.
" I do not care, goodbye." He said as he left towards the exit with Sakura and Sasuke following behind him.
" Please forgive us, please!" she yelled. Minato, Mito, and Menma came up to Kushina also with the same determination as Kushina.
Naruto just turned his head and looked at the family.
" I don't forgive, I show no mercy." He said and looked towards Menma.
" If is see you in the finals, you shall die by my hands, so be prepared, for these are your last days." He said a disappeared in a red flash. Sasuke and Sakura was shocked at what Naruto said to his family.
" What happened?" was all Sakura said and the family told the two what Naruto said.
Konaha's forest
Naruto dug up a hole for him to sleep in. He wasn't going to go back to the Uzu-Namikaze estate, not wanting to hear the bickering they would give him about forgiving them.
Naruto quickly made a den big enough for him and his tails to fit in, and went to sleep and to his mindscape.
Mindscape.
Naruto walked into his and Kurama's mansion and walked up the stairs to the master bedroom. When he opened the door he saw Kurama in the bed waiting for him.
" Hello, Naruto-kun." She said as she got up and hugged him, which he returned.
Kurama was happy that she finally had Naruto as hers. She loved him and finally he loved her back, even if she had to torture and brainwash him to do so.
" Let's go to bed Naruto, I know your tired from everything that has happened today." She said and got a nod from him and the two both got into bed.
Naruto snuggled up to Kurama, their tails wrapped around each other, and the two just enjoyed being near each other.
" How was your day?" asked Naruto to Kurama.
" I was wonderful, thank you for asking. I loved seeing you beat Shukaku's Jinchuriki to he ground. All that blood that was over you, hmmmm, such a turn on." She said and put her face to his and gave him a quick kiss.
" Thank you, I knew you would like it." He said with a smile as he looked into her eyes, seeing his own in the reflection of her eyes.
" Oh really? You know me to much." She said with a smile as she also stared into Naruto's similarly red eyes, seeing her own reflection as well.
The two just laid there like that for a while, just holding onto each other, enjoying the warmth one gave to the other. After a while, Kurama spoke up.
" Hey… Uh… I got you something." She said.
" What is that?" asked Naruto and watched as she moved to the end of the bed and grab something. When she showed it to him, he smiled when he saw a bowl filled up with already peeled orange slices.
" I know you haven't had some in a while, and it is your favorite food after all. So I decide to give you some." She said with a blush.
" Thank you." He said and tried to reach for one, but she pulled the bowl back, confusing him.
" Ah, ah, ah." She said as she moved her index finger side to side like a little child who saw someone do something bad and was going to tell some.
" I'm going to feed them to you. You've done enough work today." She said a grabbed an orange slice and put it to Naruto's mouth.
He bit down on it and almost moaned at the taste. He just loved those oranges.
" I don't see how you like these things. Foxes only eat meat, not fruit." Said Kurama as she feed him another slice.
" You know I've always loved orange, even when I was human." He said as he munched down on the slice.
" I hate the color orange, though." He said with a smile.
" Yeah, me to. Orange is such an ugly color. Red is the best." Said Kurama.
The two sat there for a while again, Kurama feeding Naruto his oranges, and Naruto was devouring the slices with a smile.
When Kurama feed him another one, he bit into it and some of the juice got onto Kurama's face. He looked at it and then licked it off her cheek, making her blush an angry red.
" Huhh…huhhhh." Said Kurama and she turne away from Naruto as she tried to calm down the blush on her cheeks.
Naruto just looked at her
" Heh…..Hehe…Hahahahaha!" he started to laugh. Kurama just looked at him and then started to laugh with him.
The two laughed a little more before cuddling back up against each other, smiles on their faces.
" I'm going to give you a present to, but your going to have to wait a few days." Said Naruto as he looked her in her eyes.
" Will it be worth the wait…." She said and rubbed her face on his.
" Yes."
" You know I could just read you mind to see what you have planned, but I won't. Don't want to ruin the surprise." She said
" We should sleep." Said Naruto.
" Yes, tomorrows a long day. Goodnight, Naruto-kun." Said Kurama.
" Goodnight, Kurama-chan." He said back.
" Love you."
He just looked at her and smiled.
" Love you too." He said.
Read Below!
Oh yeah, over TEN THOUSAND WORDS! I did that shit!
So yeah, that was the first round of the Chunin Exams, think I did pretty good on it too.
Bet yall liked the romantic scene between Naruto and Kurama, I've been wanting to do that for a while now, and it fit perfectly here. I brought back his love for oranges too, in the beginning of the story when Kakashi wanted the team to introduce each other, Naruto said that he loved oranges, just in case you forgot.
IF YOU LIKE FU'S BEETLE POWER, SAY I !
I actually did research for the bugs that I was going to give to Fu, and they are real if you want to look them up.
BEST PART OF THE STORY HAD TO BE FU VS. SAKURA! I LOVED WRITING THAT FIGHT!
Sakura's Chakra Butchers is an original idea, SO PROPS TO ME! IF I SEE ANYONE USING THAT IDEA WITHOUT MY OK, IMA WHOPP YO ASS!
For real tho, I really like Sakura's character in this story, and apparently you all do as well.
Kankuro and Shino's fight had to be short, after all, even if Kishimoto did make that fight in the manga/anima, Shino would have won easily, I just showed how he would win.
The matches and pair ups are good as well, next match is Sasuke and Naruto! Who is going to win?
Naruto of course, but I'm give Sasuke a good match though before Naruto whoops his ass.
The scene between Kurama and Naruto proves that Naruto isn't faking, sorry people, but that is how the story goes.
Any way, please review, fav, and follow the story, as I will finish this story to the end, I promise it's going to be dope.
TELL EVERYONE ON YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS STORY YOU NARUTO FANS, THIS NEEDS TO GET OUT THERE!
I've also been getting flames from people, but that just means im doing something right to piss people off. Most of them are Guest, people who don't have an official account, so I can't cuss them out even if I wanted to.
But to those who do have accounts and flame me, I look at there stories and see that their don't even have half of my reviews, favs, and follows, so middle finger up to you mother f'ers.
Any way that's it for me
