(Ruby's Point Of View)

Everyone watched as the board started shuffling through names of the contestants. The first names to show up were Sasuke Uchiha and a name I did not recognize... Someone from the sound village.

They both walked forward and faced each other while the proctor spoke. "You have been chosen for the first fight! Yuro Kato and Sasuke Uchiha... Are there any objections?"

They both said no then the proctor sent everyone to the upper level so they wouldn't get in the way and Kakashi followed them up as well.

"Then if you are both ready... let the match begin!"

Yuro made a hand sign then which made his hand full of Chakra then he reached into his pocket. They both shot out kunai and shurkien which blocked each other's out.

The guy was fast and was able to get off Sasuke's guard but before he could touch him, Sasuke go out of the way and stab a kunai in the ground so he could swing back and knock him over with his feet.

They both grabbed each other but when we thought it was over, the sound guy did something that stunned Sasuke which made the other guy stand up.

He ran over to Sasuke, just as he sat up, and grabbed his head which made Sasuke go limp. "My chakra... What are you doing!" Sasuke asked which made the guy chuckle.

Sasuke figured it out that Yuro was stealing chakra from him which also made him chuckle.

Saskue suddenly kicked Yuro in the stomach, sending him away a few feet. He ran after him again as Sasuke stood up and dodged Yuro's attacks. "What's the matter, is that the best you can do?" Yuro asked he he touched Sasuke skin a little, draining more chakra.

He thrust at him again with his hand Sasuke just dodged.

Suddenly, Sasuke got under him and kicked him straight up into the air. Sasuke jumped after him to be behind him as he flew in the air. "Okay, I admit it, I kinda borrowed that move, but here on in... it's all original!"

Sasuke kicked him in the side for which Yuro blocked with his arm but he was able to hit him in the face then the stomach, knocking him down the floor.

Sasuke was blown away by his own attack so he was on the ground as well. They waited to see who would get up first

Suddenly, Sasuke got up, very slowly, as the proctor demanded the match over and Sasuke won!

Sasuke walked up the stairs while Naruto high five him then grabbed his shoulder in pain. "It must be the curse mark..." I hear Kakashi whisper.

I look over to see the Hokage, Minato-nii, looking worriedly at Naruto, so he must know about the curse mark.

The board started to ramble names until it picked two names again which was Shino Aburame and a guy from the sound village.

I started to ignore the fights till it got to someone that I knew better...

***********Time skip brought to you by starting up this story again**********

It was now the fourth battle and the two names that started up were Sakrua Haruno and Ino Yamanaka.

They both walked down and faced each other and when he said to begin they ran at each other and started punching and kicking each other while dodging each other's attacks.

Sakura threw three kunai for which Ino block with her own kunai.

They are both panting hard after sharing all those blows to each other, but started at it again.

Ino hit her in the gut then slapped her with not much effort which made everyone silent.

Sakura then took a deep breath in then spoke. "I'm not going fight with you over Sasuke... I'm not that weak, needy girl I used to be... Your not even on my radar and your not Sasuke's type! Ino...Pig!"

This made Ino mad, "Sakura! You better watch your step! Do you have any idea who you are talking to! Don't press your luck with me you billboard brow!"

They both took off there headbands then put them on their foreheads then ran at each other. Sakura made three clones then put Chakra in her feet to make her go faster.

Punching Ino in the face, she flies backward. "I'm not that little girl anymore! You play with fire... your going to get burned!" Sakura said as they ran at each other and grabbed each others fist to block the punches.

Suddenly, they both punched each other in the face, knocking each other to the other sides of the stadium.

"This is not how its supposed to go! How are you evenly matched with me!" Sakura scoffed at Ino then spoke, "I guess your right Ino, your excession with your looks and your hair can'e be surpassed, I have been training to hard to work on that stuff."

This made Ino mad so she pulled out a Kunai and cut off her own pony tail! She then made the sign for mind transference.

"Ninja Art: Mind Tranfer Jutsu... It's a Jutsu that allows the user to take control of the opponents spirit and possess their body away from them for a few minutes by discharging there spirits cells and striking their enemies there enemies with it...

But despite its power, their are major flaws for the formidable Jutsu and makes it extremely dangerous...

First...

I started to get bored of the explanations so I went over to where Minato-nii was standing to see him looking at the girls then over to Naruto in worry.

"What a good father you are, Minato-nii!" I said though he couldn't hear.

I looked back at the match to hear that it was over and it was a draw for which I figured.

I looked up at the bored for the fifth match for which I didn't recognize the names so I didn't watch until a match of someone I knew

**********Time skip brought to you by my parent's going out shopping together**********

It was two matches later and finally Naruto's name came up on the board against a boy named Kiba Inuzuka.

Naruto hummed then grabbed his neck in pain as he walked down the stairs to meet up with his opponent. I frowned at his actions, but was happy to see his determination when he went down at the ground floor.

Both Kiba and Naruto stared at each other as the proctor said that when they were ready, they could begin.

Kiba then got down on all fours then raced at Naruto and punched him in the gut with his elbow. This shot Naruto flying a few feet which made me gasp, and so did Sakura.

I heard Kiba scoff, "This little boy is going to be out for a while, you can call the match." I smirked, knowing that this wasn't the end for Naruto for which he started to stand up and he spoke, "Don't you ever... Underestimate me!"

Kiba scoffed once more, "Yeah, yeah, just look at yourself in the mirror... You're a mess!"

Naruto smiled, "Well, I was just trying to figure out what your skills were, and apparently, you hit like an old lady! Frankly, you have a better chance of winning if you send that dog into fight for you!"

The dog boy growled, saying that he would regret saying that for which he spoke, "Come on, Akamaru!" The dog barked then they both ran at Naruto and pulled out two smoke grenades and threw them down.

I couldn't see what was going on, but all I heard was punching going on in the smoke which me click me tongue as I saw Naruto laying on the ground as Akamaru wagged his tail and barked.

His Chakra felt different which made me realize that Naruto has transformed into the dog which ran at Kiba, who opened his arms for him, for which 'Akamaru' bit his arm.

I shook my head, smiling, as his transformation was undone and you could see that Naruto was biting Kiba's arm for which he pushed him off. I see that Naruto looked a little sick as he spoke, "Huh, who knew that you would smell worse then the dog."

Kiba asked where his dog was so the clone that was laying down came up to them, holding up Akamaru by his paws. He scoffed, "Well, what do you know, you have gotten a little stronger I see, but not nearly strong enough... Because I am getting serious!"

Naruto nodded as Kiba blew out some air then spoke, "Naruto, if I were you, I would let Akamaru go!" He flicked a Chakra pill to Akamaru which he ate and he turned red and he started to snarl.

The dog destroyed the Naruto clone which shocked Naruto so he asked what just happened for which Kiba answered, "Are you sure you want to stick around to find out!"

Kiba ate a Chakra pill then Akamaru jumped on his back as he turned into a clone of Kiba as he shouted out a Jutsu that was called "Man Beast Clone."

I was standing next to Minato-nii-san which made it easier to see the worry on his face and his finger was tapping the metal pole in worry for his son.

Looking back at Naruto, I see that both Kiba's ran at Naruto with the intent to kill, but Naruto flipped backwards as one of the Kiba's ran at him and tried hitting him, but Naruto kept dodging his attacks.

Then, Naruto jumped into a air for which Kiba and Akamaru did a Jutsu which looked like a drill kind of attack which hit Naruto fell to the ground with blood flowing from his head.

My eyes saddened at the sight as Naruto slowly clenched his hand and slowly said that he was going to be the Hokage which made Kiba laugh.

"And how are you going to do that, by being flat on your face! Well, I've got news for ya... I'm the one who is going to be the Hokage!" Kiba started laughing which made Naruto groan.

"Do you really believe that a weakling like you can be Hokage! You must be weak in the head!" He laughed some more which made me smile, knowing that Naruto was stronger then he think he was.

Then, was made me narrow my eyes was the strong, dark Chakra that was coming from Naruto that was separate from the Nine Tailed Fox.

Naruto started slowly getting up as I faintly see purple Chakra flowing around him which made me narrow my eyes even more. "Orochimaru... You bastard..."

Once Naruto got all the way on his feet, I could see black markings on his face that looked like black whisps that was put on by marker.

It only covered a side of his face, to my satisfaction, which meant that he is not using its full power.

Naruto kept his head down then spoke, "Sorry, but you can forget about being Hokage... Because... That spot is reserved for me!"

One of the Kiba's pointed at him and spoke, "I don't where you got all your power from, but you are looking for punishment, aren't ya!?"

Naruto just scoffed which made Kiba smile as they both ran at Naruto with the intent to kill, but Naruto just dodged it with a sudden increase of speed added to his normal power.

Naruto started to breathe hard as he grabbed his neck from pain which made my eyes sadden from the sadness coming from my heart as Kiba threw more smoke bombs.

Once the smoke cleared, you could now see that Kiba was on the ground while Naruto was on top of him with the Curse Mark slowly disappearing back into its place on his neck.

Akamaru was being held, once more, by a Naruto clone as the proctor announced that Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze was the winner of the fight which made me sigh in happiness, but also sadness.

I see Kakashi jump next to him as he whispered something in Naruto's ear which made Naruto groan, but he sat up, as medical nin's took Kiba, and they both walked out of the room.

I looked over at Minato to see him breathe out some air that he was holding for which the Third Hokage, who was standing next to him, put a hand on his shoulder to comfort him.

I decided to follow Naruto and Kakashi, after watching Shino's battle with a sound ninja, because I was curious about what they were doing.

Once I got to where they were, I saw that Naruto had his shirt and pants off, so he was just in his underwear, with red markings on his skin, in a pentagram like circle for a sealing.

Kakashi finished writing the sealing formula on Naruto's back and spoke, "Okay... It will be over quickly... You ready?"

Naruto turned to him and nodded then faced the front again as Kakashi did multiple handsigns and did the curse sealing Jutsu which made Naruto scream in the process.

I was sad and scared to watch my nephew go through this kind of pain, but there was nothing I could do and I also trusted Kakashi with my life.

Once it was over, Naruto was panting from being through all that pain as Kakashi spoke, "There, that should keep the Curse Mark in check, but remember, Naruto... This curse sealing Jutsu is only as strong as you are... It drives the strength from the power of your will. If that will ever weakens, if you ever start to doubt yourself... The curse will be unleashed with all it's fury-"

With that, Naruto fell face forward which made Kakashi chuckle, "Amazing, to tired to say a word..."

"My, how you have grown... To think that you have become strong enough to make a sealing Jutsu..."

I gasped as a man come from behind a pole... A dangerous man who had a dangerous power... Orochimaru...

"Long time no see... Kakashi..." Orochimaru spoke as Kakashi slowly said his name.

"No offense, Kakashi, but I didn't come to see you... My businesses is with that boy behind you and the boy back at the stadium."

Kakashi narrowed his eyes, "What do you want with Sasuke and Naruto?!"

Orochimaru chuckled, "I originally didn't want the Nine Tailed brat, but then I figured, since I gave him the mark, that he could be useful to me... His family being legends and all... As for Sasuke... Well..."

He looked straight into Kakashi's eyes, "You... You have acquired something new... How I envy your good fortune. I don't believe you had it the last time we have met, did you... The gift... The Sharingan in your left eye... It's only fair that I want it as well... The Uchiha power!"

Orochimaru started walking towards Kakashi and Naruto, but once Orochimaru started doing foot work for attacking, Kakashi spoke with venom in his voice.

"Stop, don't come any closer... I don't care if you are one of the Sannin... I swear, take one more step towards Naruto and one of us will die here!"

I was happy about how protective Kakashi was being, but was also concerned at the claim that he was having with the Sannin.

Kakashi activated his Chidori while he was speaking which made the Sannin smile and starts to laugh, "Poor Kakashi and your noble efforts... Do you really think the seal will hold... Do you think that you can keep him and Sasuke... You know that I am right... Both boys want to be stronger then there processors, right?"

Kakashi glared, "And you think that you can take advantage of that! Not Naruto... Or Sasuke..."

Orochimaru cocked his head on one side, "You can't stop it... At some point, one of the boys will come to me... In search of power... Unless, of course, you carry out your threat to kill me... Now is your chance... Take it... If you dare..."

He then walked away and I could see that Kakashi was shaking from the fear from Orochimaru.

He stood up straight then looked over at Naruto for which he picked him up, bridal style, and started to walk out of the room.

I started to follow them but Kakashi stopped and I could see that he was looking at Naruto with soft eyes.

"I won't let Orochimaru get to you, Naruto... You are the last I have from Ruby... Ruby..."

This made my eyes sadden as I rubbed his cheek, even though he couldn't feel it, it still comforted me.

"I am right here Kakashi... Right here watching over you..."

I planted a kiss on his cheek that he didn't know that happened.

"I love you, Kakashi..."
