Been a bit of time since the last update for this but I am still here

Chapter 11: End of Prelims

"Come on love it was just a joke." Kuromi tried to sound apologetic but her expression was one that was full of mirth. He refused to look at her which she found oddly cute as Naruto pouted. The seal that damned snake woman had put upon his body had almost been completely destroyed which allowed her to begin healing him faster. After that his body would probably get rid of that curse seal itself on its own.

It took some time for him to both fix his body but to this extent but also find another set of clothes. After he had basically exposed himself in front of everyone he used his hidden speed to get the hell out of there and find an empty room in the infirmary area. His outfit was mostly the same as it was before the exams of black sandals and jogger pants. However for now he decided to forego his orange jacket and went with a dark orange t-shirt. Currently he was wrapping bandages around his exposed arms. These had seals on the inside of them that helped dampen some of the chakra flowing through his body so he wouldn't accidentally break something or someone again as he got a better handle on his control.

"Damn back when I was in Danzo's little think tank I didn't have to worry about the damage I would cause..." He paused for a moment before continuing to wrap his arm. "Now that I think about it it still hurt like hell even back then to use my chakra but I ignored it more because I wasn't trying to hold myself back. Now I use more than what is probably necessary. I need to hold back more and give my body time to adapt."

"I could just strengthen your bones to that of a demon."

"..." Naruto looked over at Kuromi for a second who was kicking her legs off the edge of the guest bed. He shrugged her off and went back to his thoughts.

"I guess more chakra exercises could hel-."

"Don't ignore me like that!"

She grabbed him by his shirt and actually held him off the ground as she cried at him. Having a bijuu's power denied when offered was a blow to their pride. He weakly held up his hands in surrender as she let him back down.

"Sorry Kuromi but I wanna see how far I can get on my own power remember? Besides my body is adapting to my chakra the more that I use it anyway."

"Yeah and you wouldn't be so bad off if you didn't let some random swordsman break off parts of the cursed metal of his sword off in your body."

"I'd hardly call Zabuza just some any swordsman. He was a legend. You can give me that at least."

She rolled her eyes not really caring. "Fine. But now you have metal that reacts to blood but now also mutates to your chakra. I can heal injuries but that metal acts as a virus that I can't heal. So you really are on your own with how you deal with that if you aren't going to let me strengthen your body."

"I'll be alright." He smirked not really caring as he was pretty sure he would be fine. As he made his way to the door Kuromi sighed before jumping at him turning into a fox and wrapping herself around his neck.

They had been gone for around an hour both to heal his body more than it was prior to the match with Kiba but also to get more clothes. He had not expected that in that time most of the matches would be done. He couldn't outright tell who all won when he reentered the room but for some it was pretty obvious. He already knew Sakura lost that was a given. Her injuries weren't even that significant. He looked over at Ino seeing her in a similar state. 'She probably lost her match too... Wait a minute.'

He looked from Ino to Sakura a few times before deadpanning. "They fought each other didn't they?"

"I'm... I'm not backing down!" Naruto's ear twitched at the sound of the surprisingly loud voice he knew belonged to someone he knew was pretty meek. Remembering there were still a few fights left he looked down to see Hinata in a dangerous spar with her cousin Neji. Hinata was actually meeting him blow for blow as they parried each other while simultaneously sending out their own strikes only to be deflected. Their style was Juken so all one needed was even just a slight contact with the opponent's body to see results.

"Well well Hinata."

Kuromi looked down at the two white eyed cousins and had her–virtually not there–fox eyebrows raise as she hummed in approval.

"Oh? Those eyes take me back. That girl seems to be doing better than you expected Naru-kun?"

He shook his head a bit. "I knew she had talent the issue was that shell she keeps herself in kept her from ever really showing it.

"Oh you're finally back?"

He already knew they were amongst the first to notice him from the moment he entered the room because of his sense. He turned to greet Yugito and Fuu but his words feel short from their expressions. Yugito's mouth kept twitching as if not to laugh before her eyes kept trying to not look at his crotch causing a light shade of red to dust her cheeks. Fuu on the other hand couldn't make eye contact really as she had a much deeper blush on her face. She kept mumbling something about wanting to have a "safe fight."

"... Anyway yeah had to fix some things that were going wrong with my body."

"Nothing looked wrong to me-." She stopped herself too late as she could feel her face growing hot from embarassment. Naruto's eyebrow twitched before he ignored the comment. Feeling awkward she decided to change the conversation. "So this is that Hyuuga girl you told us not to touch? She's cute."

He turned to lean over the rail with her and watch the fight.

"Yeah and she's doing pretty good I'd say." He might have jinxed the situation by saying that as it was at that moment that both Hyuga's sent a palm strike to the other's chest but it was only Neji's that really connected. "Shit."

Hinata stumbled back feeling her insides cry out to her. She lurched and covered her mouth as she coughed out a notable amount of blood.

"It's over now just give up." Her vision wavered as she saw the smug expression on Neji's face. Her eyes shifted up to the stands searching for face until she found the one she was looking for. Naruto gave her a thumbs up and smiled brightly.

"Come on Hinata you've been doing so well you ain't gonna let one hit take you out are you?!" Everyone looked at him in surprise both by his sudden voice over everyone else's but also because he was giving such clear encouragement.

It appeared Hinata was surprised as well but that one act seemed to ignite a fire in her as she restrengthened her byakugan and furrowed her brow at Neji with a fierce expression. A sight that startled him and everyone that knew her.

"I will show everyone that I too have what it takes to be strong!" She said it all without a stutter as she charged at Neji ignoring her injuries. Her increase in speed caught him off guard and that cost him as he took a strike to one of the points in his arm. Neji may have had the skill and speed over her but the main difference in why he so outclass Hinata prior was due to the fact that she did not attack with any kind of vicious or killing intent behind her strikes which is what made a shinobi effective.

But that changed now as she stabbed her hands at him quicker while still retaining the fluidity that was unique to her. Kurenai was surprised by the sudden burst from Hinata and while fearing for her health was still proud to see the girl still giving it her all. However she was already injured and Neji the more skilled and so one slip up in the space between her wild strikes was all he needed to land a clean hit to her chin. The blow snapped her head back as she stumbled. She saw it coming so was able to send chakra through the tenketsu in her chin to counter most of his chakra strike. Her being able to do that so quickly was a testament of both her heritage and skill as a Hyuga.

"It is your fate to lose here. You struggling will just make it worse."

It was at that moment that her injuries worsened as she coughed up more blood. The sight of it caused several in the stands to cry out. The moment Hinata dropped her arms the proctor called the match as it was clear she would not be able to continue much longer or risk dying. Neji smirked victoriously but Hinata caught herself before she fell.

"You except me to give up? J-Just because things are h-hard and because it d-doesn't look like things will c-change anyway that I should give up and cry ab... about it? Sorry Neji-niisan but I'm not like you."

More veins bulged around Neji's eyes showing his anger as he charged Hinata with the intent to kill.

"Neji stop the match is over!" Gai yelled out but Neji wasn't hearing him anymore. There was an explosion of dust as several bodies moved to stop him. In seconds the situation was back under control as Hinata was being held by Kurenai in support.

Gai held his arms out as he stood in front of Neji blocking him. Seeing his sensei in the way made him stop but he sensed a struggle going on behind him. Anko, Hayate, and Kakashi were all restraining Naruto. Kakashi had him in a head lock while Hayate had a kunai pointed to him. Anko was trying to hold back his arm that was pointed out towards the back of Neji's head. He struggled against the bodies making the three jonin class shinobi sweat a little as Naruto's arm slowly inched towards Neji's head slowly.

"D-Damnit gaki calm down!" Naruto's canines bared as his mouth twitched into a dark grin and he kept pushing.

"C-Come on just a little more. I just want to pat his head... is all." Only Kakashi had a more exact idea of what would happen if Naruto made contact with Neji from experience working with him but that didn't matter. With the killing intent Naruto was giving off as his pupils slitted it was pretty clear what his intentions were. Neji backed up when he saw the scene behind him to get some space between him and Naruto.

"That is enough!" The echoed voice of Hiruzen over everyone cowed the scene before them. As everyone went silent the Hokage nodded to Hayate. The man coughed in his hand before speaking with a wave of seriousness before someone got killed.

"The match is over and has been decided. Hyuga Neji has been deemed the winner. However if any further actions are taken against Hyuga Hinata it will result in his disqualification and detainment. Uzumaki Naruto the same goes for you if you seek further action against Neji at this time."

Neji scoffed before walking away. Gai frowned as he watched him go. He gave a short bow of apology to everyone before going back up to the stands.

Naruto as if flipping a switch let out a long breath deflating his aggression as his muscles relaxed and his intent vanished. "Alright I'm fine, I'm fine." Kakashi and Anko let go of him at that point. Naruto held his wrist a little as he hid his real emotions well but spoke loud enough for Neji to still hear.

"I mean the match was fair right. So I won't bitch about the results. But you tried to go even further. So when we fight, and we will someday, I will remember this."

There was no spoken threat or promise in his words but Neji still felt a chill down his spine. The three jinchurikki in the room all took note of the scene for reference. 'He does seem to be a bit protective of the Hyuga girl.'

Hayate got everyone's attention again as he continued the exams.

"Okay it's time we had the last match. The match however is one that genin Rock Lee wins by default. Because of our odd number he moves on to the third phase automatically."

"What?!" Rock Lee shouted from over the rails. "I can not accept this!" The other genin blinked at him in confusion. "Eh?" Rock Lee jumped down to the center and shook his fists.

"I can not accept that I have passed on to the next test without any display of my skillset. I can not in right mind feel right about this if I was not allowed to test myself and show my youth just like everyone else."

"It doesn't matter what you want you passed anyway..." Hayate coughed out causing Lee to comically cry on the ground how it wasn't fair which only served to piss off some of the genin in the room who had lost their matches but were still conscious.

Naruto who was halfway to making his way back to the stairs stopped his his step and had a mischievous look on his face. He turned around and gave a disarming smile.

"So you want to prove yourself as well and don't feel you deserve to be here if you get by without doing so as well?" Lee looked up at him and nodded his head rapidly.

"Yes! That is true!" Kakashi glanced back at Naruto wondering what he was up to.

Naruto held out a hand as he continued. "Well then how about you have a friendly match with me? I'll take you on right now."

"Uzumaki you are pushing it. This is not a place for unsanctioned matches. It would be better to do it on your own time." Hayate groaned out as he was getting a little annoyed now.

"Now now I think this may be an excellent idea." Naruto didn't even have to look up at the hokage's seat to recognize the voice as everyone's heads snapped up to look there. Hiruzen looked back and sighed as Danzo emerged from the shadows. 'Can't you just sit in on these events normally? You are too old for this shit...'

"I agree with the interests of Gai-san's disciple. It should be that those that have succeed in making it to the final phase of the exams have adequately displayed that they have what it takes to be there, to potentially be chunin. Without seeing even a preliminary match with the young Rock Lee we have no way of knowing if he even has the skillset to justify his worth of even being put on display at the stadium." Hiruzen stroked his beard as he nodded at what Danzo said.

"I suppose I can agree with that as well however the decision to have a friendly spar with Naruto ultimately goes to Rock Lee." He discretely gave an exasperated look towards Danzo and whisper. "It's clear you are showing favortism towards Naruto-kun."

"Not favoritism but rather correcting this system. Me doing so just happens to work favorably for him. Besides a child should be favored at least a few times in their life. But this never happened because by you wanting him to have no special treatment you left him without someone to raise him and so he was left worse off than even a normal kid. If anything you own him a debt far more than me."

Hiruzen winced hard as Danzo drilled him.

"So Lee how 'bout it? Want to fight me?"

"Yosh!" That made Naruto happy but tried to slow him down a little.

"Rock Lee just so you know you can choose not to fight Uzumaki and you will still go on to the third phase. You will also get the month to train to make sure you are ready. However if you fight here and now you risk exposing your skills to your competition. This goes for both of you. Also if you do not perform well enough Rock Lee you could potentially forfeit your right to continue in the exams."

"I understand and I accept those terms. Now Naruto-kun let us do battle."

Lee slid into his Goken stance. Naruto put his hands in his pockets and bounced on the balls of his feet. Lee looked at him and seeing his confusing Naruto answered his unspoken question.

"I'm not going to try that much against you if you aren't worth it."

"Do not underestimate me!" Lee took off straight at Naruto. He shifted and sent a solid punch into Naruto's chest faster than most of the genin in the room could move. It went straight through Naruto making his eyes widen in shock as the afterimage faded to show Naruto turned and leaning to the side barely avoiding the strike.

Naruto whistled at the punch. "Wow not bad at all."

Lee turned back and threw another punch at Naruto only for Naruto to turn out of the way once again at the last second. Lee returned again and this time did a strong assualt of fists. Naruto just as easily avoided each one by a small margin making it appear as if Lee's fists were striking a packed cluster of afterimages. It was as if Naruto could feel where and how fast Lee was going to strike.

"Come on you can do better right?" Lee answered him by moving with a burst of speed. Naruto's eyes widened slightly as he leaned back at a sharp angle avoiding Lee's sharp mid air kick. Naruto grew a little excited as he felt the wind caused by the kick move over his face. What he wasn't expecting was for Lee to suddenly drop down into a sweeping kick.

"Leaf Whirlwind!" Naruto's feet were kicked from under him and the position he was in made him fall back all the easier.

"Do not expect to have an easy time against me without the use of your hands Naruto-kun!" He brought a punch to Naruto hoping to catch him before he hit the ground with another attack. Naruto however without using his arms hit his elbow to the ground and spun into leg flares. For someone who wasn't using his arms he sure did transition into such a dextrous feet extremely fast, fast enough that his feet clipped Lee and knocked him back as a glancing blow. Naruto stopped spinning and popped off the ground to bounce on the balls of his feet again.

"You are better than most of the other genin here. That much is clear. But from what I can tell you do not currently have the strength or speed to really do much to me."

There were several individual groups murmuring amongst themselves at the fight before them.

"Is it me or has he gotten stronger since the fight he had earlier?" Yugito rubbed her chin inquisitively. They jumped a bit as the Kumo containers just noticed the fox near them again. Kuromi's tail waved about as she sat on the rail.

"No my container was already this strong. His mindset has changed a little but the real change is that his chakra control and health are almost back to 100%."

"Yo this boy is good and on his way, we are in for a show that's what I'd say!" Yugito sweatdropped in embarrassment at Bee's manner of speech while Kuromi just looked at the man owlishly. "I suppose every container has their own eccentricities..."

"Sorry Gai, your genin does have some talent in taijutsu but Naruto's battle prowess as a whole is on a whole other level."

Gai laughed in an animated fashion in response to Kakashi's words as if dismissing what he had said.

"I will not deny that Naruto-kun is a talented shinobi but Lee is still holding back a great deal. Lee!"

His student looked up at him from the center. Gai gave him a thumbs up as his teeth gleamed.

"Alright Lee! Take them off."

Naruto snickered at the words. "I didn't know you guys had that kind of relationship." Naruto felt a little awkward when Lee did not respond at all to the joke not having heard him and went on top of the handsign statue. Naruto saw he had a bundle of dense matter centered around his legs as he rose an eyebrow.

"Are those weights?" Lee finally untied them and let them fall to the ground.

"Yes that is much better!" The moment the weights hit the ground, causing a loud crash from the small impact zones many people in the room had hilariously shocked expressions.

The kumo group and Kuromi all spoke at once. "Oh shit!"

Half the genin that were still conscious also reacted. "Oh shit!"

Kakashi had his eye twitch at the sight before him only imagining how heavy those weights must of been. "Gai what the hell..."

Naruto's heart jumped in his chest. Lee jumped off the statue in a blur as even Naruto lost track of him. It was thanks to his sense of movement and sound that he still had an idea of where Lee was. A split second later Lee was crouched in front of Naruto before he could react.

"Shit."

The punch connected cleanly with Naruto's stomach as he was sent careening across the ground before tumbling to a stop. Fuu looked on in amazement at potentially another person she would love to fight. "He's that fast?!"

"Yes Gai-sensei I did it!" Lee punched the air happily.

"Did what?" Naruto kicked his legs up before popping his back off the ground to land back on his feet. "I'm a little insulted if you are this happy only landing one hit." As if tension was collected in his very body the tone in the air changed simply from Naruto removing his hands from his pockets. He went into his own pose slowly as he stood to the side and held his hands open yet clenched as if holding an invisible object making sure there was air between his fingers and his palms.

"But you've gotten my respect even more so I'll use my hands now. Kind of have to with how fast you are."

"Yes Naruto-kun you will make a worthy rival! Let our fists of youth fly!"

And then he took off leaving a trail of dust in his wake. Naruto's eyes darted around though they could not keep up. Lee appeared behind him with a drop kick. The leg was met with the high block of one arm. Naruto turned his head to look at him a second later whistling.

"Wow you are really good. The only weakness in your fighting style is how direct it is for someone like me."

"How were you able to block so flawlessly?"

"Well I can feel the movement and sound around me in every direction. Kind of paints a picture in my head but not quite."

Naruto spun around causing his blocking arm to throw Lee of balance. As Lee was twisted in mid air Naruto did a sudden palm thrust into his stomach making him buckle over before this time it was he who was sent flying away.

"An excellent counter!" Lee ran at Naruto again and Naruto responded by sliding back into his stance.

A punch came for the side of Naruto's head only for a palm to smack it down and Lee ran again blurring out of sight. A kick came from the opposite side for his hip. Naruto side flipped out of the way while swing out his arms catching Lee's side and batting him away. Trying to get him off balance Lee dashed again the moment he landed on the ground already on Naruto the moment Naruto touched down. Naruto didn't miss a beat however as he pivoted on his foot spinning into a roundhouse kick. While he could track Lee just fine the instance of having a highspeed battle like this was not something either of them were widely used to. Lee a bit more so since he had more experience as a genin and had a sensei who was a speed demon along with a hyuuga on his team. Because of this Naruto was the one that was more surprised when his kick was met by Lee's own.

The collision of the two legs meeting each other at the heel cratered the ground as a shockwave went out. It was bad enough that the bulk of the genin could not follow the series of exchanges that had just happened.

Up in the stands Sasuke scowled in anger as his Sharingan blazed. He could follow them with his eyes but he knew he would not have lasted as long as Naruto had in that fight. His body simply was not fast enough or durable enough. If only he were stronger but at this rate it seemed as if more and more people who were just genin like he was were passing him up.

Back at the fight Naruto grimaced as he knew the results of the clash the moment their feet connected. 'D-Damn I was not expecting him to have so much momentum behind his kick!' Naruto's grounded heel of his other foot dug into the dirt as it slid back until finally Naruto was knocked away. His back hit the ground once before he rebounded and slid back on his feet. He felt a sting in his leg from blocking an unexpected amount of force that was Lee.

'But the fact that someone my age can still surprise me repeatedly like this. For something like this in the heat of battle. This is... This is...' Naruto's canine's showed as he couldn't hold back the wild grin spreading about his face. "Exhilarating!"

Before Naruto could even touch down good Lee pursued him again and kicked him up under his chin. Naruto even in his unright mind instinctively reacted fast enough to cross his arms into a block. The force of it still sent him into the air. Once again Naruto was not expecting Lee to jump up in the air after him repeatedly stomping him upwards.

He was pretty sure some bruises would form on his arms later from blocking the barrage of kicks that lifted him higher and higher into the air.

"Here we go!" A trail of bandages funneled around Naruto before binding him up like a cocoon. Lee appeared behind him and held on before forcing them to rotate like a drill.

"Primary Lotus!"

Naruto panicked a bit as Lee had gotten him. 'How did he suddenly get so much stronger?!

Lee brought Naruto down without restraint flipping off of him right before Naruto impacted into the ground. The ground was broken apart by the crash. The hokage and some of the other jonin sweatdropped awkwardly. 'Did they forget this was a spar?'

Lee panted in exhaustion waiting for the dust to settle and see the results of his finishing move. There was coughing as a figure's silhouette could be seen through the kicked up dirt. Gai let out a breath of relief seeing that Naruto had survived the attack. Wouldn't be good to kill a comrade in just a test match.

Swinging his arm out Naruto dispersed the dust around him in a clean motion. His shirt had some tears in it and he was scuffed up but the notable injury was wear he was bleeding down the side of his head. His eyes were shadowed as he wobbled for a second. He brought his outstretched arm back to his face and held it as his grinned. Naruto brought his hand down and held both arms out as chakra started to jump about his hands and arms.

"Yes this is what I wanted!" The blues in his eyes slowly started to lighten getting closer and closer to white as the chain around his neck started to fall apart. His hair flared wildly as translucent chakra started to flow off his body in erratic waves. "Give me everything you got!"

He took off the ground, the simple action creating a shallow crater causing people to bug out. "I just realized its only now that he started using his chakra in this fight." 'How much are you restraining yourself Naruto?' Kakashi watched his student who he had hardly even taught in disbelief.

Hiruzen quickly singled as he wanted to save his genin. Hayata quickly motioned his hand and spoke up. "The match is over. Cease!"

Lee almost hard a heart attack as right at that final word Naruto was on him with his hand inches from his face. Naruto however also heard the announcement and both obeyed and lost his balance at the same time.

"W-What?!" He tripped past Lee and traveled a good distance before he hit the wall face first. He slowly slid down it to lay on the ground as he hold his face groaning in pain. Some of the watching ninja winced at that face plant. Hayate felt bad for the kid as he awkwardly coughed into his hand before speaking.

"Um... Well this skirmish is over." Genin Rock Lee has proven himself well enough and we can't have you both potentially killing each other in a match that only had the purpose of showcasing skill." Naruto was a bit pissed as it was like he just got seriously cockblocked but he would get over it. Lee forgetting his fatigue threw his hands to the air.

"Yes I did it!"

Now many of the genin didn't want to fight Lee or Naruto. The strongest however and the Jinchurikki knew what the threats were. Gaara was feeling the smallest amounts of fear. 'The speed they displayed. Would they be faster than my shield of sand can protect against?'

"Damn it I wanted to see more of that fight Yugi-nee." Fuu bit her thumb in frustration as they had a feeling that fight was just getting started.

"You and me both Fuu. But now we know for sure that he should be taken seriously. This Lee guy is also someone to watch out for with that speed. Especially if he had any more trumps under his belt like I'm sure Naruto did.

"Okay... Now for all genin who passed their matches we will have the match ups for the third phase announced." The genin all came down to the center. Naruto's eyes instantly locked onto Neji for a second making the man flinch subconsciously without even looking at him. As the other genin came down many looked at him in a different light or were wary of him. Kuromi jumped down from the rails to land on his head causing him to stumble in his step.

"Ku-Kuromi?!" She moved down to his shoulder and started licking at the side of head where he had been bleeding. Seeing what she was doing caused him to chuckle. She was really playing the part of just an affectionate animal. To those that knew her identity though were spazzing out. Gaara, Fuu, and Yugito all visibly recoiled from the screams in their heads.

'What has happened to her?!' 'N-Nibi can you dial down the volume a bit please?' Yugito mentally wailed as her inner cat assualted her inner ears.

The screen up on the wall turned on showing all the first round matches.

Uzumaki Naruto vs Hyuga Neji

Naruto's eyes glowed dramatically as his head snapped to look over at Neji making him nervous.

Rock Lee vs Uchiha Sasuke

Sasuke smirked at getting a rematch while Lee was just happy at the prospect of testing himself against another shinobi seen as a genius in front of everyone. Though he would have rather faced another shinobi of hard work like Naruto and wanted to have a complete match with him.

Fuu vs Aburame Shino

Nii Yugito vs Kankuro

Temari vs Nara Shikamaru

Samui vs Gaara

"Cool." That's what she said but mentally Samui was a little downtrodden and a bit apprenhensive. She had to face her brother and just barely won but she already knew that she was one of the least important fighters in the third phase and Gaara was not one she was looking forward to facing.

Naruto hummed in interest. "So all the containers made it. This is going to be great."

He walked off as all he needed to see was who everyone was facing. He was allowed to leave as the two old men eyed him specifically.

"Naruto-kun seems very carefree." Hiruzen chuckled as he held his beard. Danzo simply nodded before he brought up an issue he had.

"On another matter I'm sure you are aware that there are 4 different hosts in the third phase of the exams now?" The third hokage nodded his head as he did in fact know and it was pretty obvious as well as may of the jinchurikki other than the hosts of the Kyuubi displayed more obvious traits signifying their beast.

"If all lines up and they win their matches we should try to match up as many of them together as possible. It would be the best way to showcase our military might as well as give the daiymo and other endorsers the most appealing show."

Hiruzen's eyebrow rose a little. "That is a very intriguing idea. Yes very intriguing indeed..."

Naruto made it to his apartment pretty easily. With a series of shunshins he got back from the forest in around 5 minutes. He closed his door slowly and sighed. Kuromi entered her hanyou form and spun around happily. Naruto completely broke the remainders of the seal the snake woman had put on him during his fight against the bowl headed boy. Now she could form her body in the real world just as easily as she could prior to the exams. Naruto let out a long breath of hot air still feeling the affects of not being able to finish his fight with Lee. Now he had all this pent up energy. It was at that point he realized he was staring at Kuromi's ass.

Kuromi shivered as she suddenly felt an ominous feeling. She looked back confused and saw Naruto locking the door of his apartment.

"Naruto?" He wordlessly moved over to the windows and closed the curtains. "Are you alright?" He cracked his neck and stood there for a moment. A second later the chain around his neck shattered and his head turned sharply to look back at her with glowing white eyes. She looked down and saw his pants forming a pretty steep tent. She held her tail as he voice came out a little shakily.

"C-Can you at least calm down?"

"I'll be calm by the time I'm done."

There was no escape for her as he slowly stalked forward to his prize and all she knew for the rest of the day was a pleasurable hell.

AN: And there you go! Naruto and Lee's fight was put on hold. All Jinchurikki made it to the next round no surprise there. All fights that weren't shown were either the same as canon or unimportant. Like Sasuke, he had the same matchup as canon it was just quite a bit easier this time since he had time to rest and have his seal suppressed. Also I don't know if I already said this but they are all physically a little older than canon at this point. However it will be during the one month training that I decided is when their clothing and appearances will change the most to resemble how they are in shippuden.

Anyway give me reviews and check out my deviantart. I will update this fic maybe 2 or so more times before going on to finally possibly update my DxD fic UNSEEN EVOLUTION again. Then I will probably go back to my new rwby fic for a few chapters. This is probably the rotation pattern I will keep to.

See ya! ZRAI OUT!
