(A/N: Here's the newest and probably the final chapter that I'll make to this story and to my other story. Look at the bottom author's notes for more information.)
When the three hours had passed Naruto and Naomi were again near the pit. The first fight was Naruto against Goi Speer. The match began with Naruto throwing Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu without calling its name or using hand seals. Goi looked impressed but he theatrically stomped on the ground and a wall of earth rose from the ground blocking the jutsu. A cloud of smoke rose from the impact and as it dissolved Goi couldn't see Naruto anywhere. Suddenly Goi was sent flying by a powerful punch. Somehow Goi managed to soften the wall of the pit as the wall stretched.
Goi began his offensive by creating ten balls of earth and sending them at Naruto at high speeds. Naruto dodged them all only to notice that the balls started to home onto him. While dodging the balls Naruto thought 'Finally I have a chance to try this' and got a look of concentration on his face. Suddenly Naruto stopped and when the balls were almost touching him they disintegrated after each got hit by an energy wave in shape of a crescent.
Everyone, including Naomi, were shocked by that move. Naruto started to sprint towards Goi who had already recovered. Goi tried to use the same move on Naruto that he had used on his previous opponent. Naruto decided to show off again and allowed the earth prison to engulf him completely. What no one saw was Naruto's smirk as the earth prison covered his face.
The announcer was ready to call Goi victor but the earth prison exploded and only a dust cloud remained of it. After the dust settled everyone saw unfazed Naruto whose fist was visibly covered in chakra. Naruto threw a punch towards Goi and the chakra on his hand formed a ball that was sent at surprised Goi. He didn't have enough time to dodge the ball and he fell unconscious just by coming in contact with the ball.
Everyone was silent after such turnaround; no one, except Naomi, had thought that Naruto could break the earth prison. The announcer got quickly over his shock and declared Naruto victorious. The next match held little interest to Naruto and Naomi as they were too engrossed in their talk about Naruto's match.
"When did you learn to manipulate chakra like that?" Naomi asked, interested as she hadn't taught Naruto to expel chakra waves from his body. "It's something that I have trained in secret along with some other abilities." Naruto answered, peaking Naomi's curiosity. "Well, what kind of secrets are you still hiding?" Naomi asked with a seductive tone. Naruto leaned to her ear and whispered "You'll find out later." Naomi started to pout at Naruto's answer.
It took some time until it was Naomi's fight. The announcer said three names not two like usual. The fighters were Naomi, a man named Kimissu from Phyria who looked like a monk and a woman named Issit from Arkania. Before they were allowed to the pit the announcer told everyone to step back as few people in robes walked to the edge of the pit and started chanting.
When they were finished they backed off while nothing was happening but soon earth trembled and the pit got much larger. When the pit was expanded the announcer told the fighters to enter it.
When everyone were ready the announcer began the fight. Kimissu ran towards Naomi with a face without emotions. When he reached her he span around and kicked. Naomi ducked underneath it but didn't have a chance to retaliate as three strange creatures of earth had been summoned by Issit. The beings had two hands that didn't have any visible fingers or joints and it was the same with the legs as they also didn't have joints or toes. Their heads were just a faceless mound between its arms.
One the creatures attacked Kimissu and the rest attack Naomi. The creatures weren't fast but their attacks were powerful as whenever one hit the ground a crater formed. Naomi got tired of dodging and sent waves of chakra from her claws at the creatures attacking her. The creatures didn't even try to dodge and were sliced to pieces.
Naomi looked at Issit and saw that she wasn't even fazed by what had happened. Naomi was confused but before she could attack Issit she had to dodge a strike from the creatures behind her. As Naomi turned to fight them she saw that the bodies of the creatures she had destroyed weren't there anymore. She cut off the arms from the other creature but soon after the arms grew back and the arms that fell disappeared into the ground.
While Naomi was dodging the attacks of the creatures Kimissu had somehow managed to paralyze the creature and was engaging Issit. Kimissu threw punches at Issit but none of the landed as a see-through shield appeared whenever a punch was about to hit Issit.
After punching a few times at the shield Kimissu started to channel physical energy to his fists and then punched. Cracks started to form on the shield but soon mended again. Kimissu started to channel even more physical energy to his fists but started to cry out in pain. He fell to his knees holding his right wrist everyone stood in silence as the fist started to warp into an animal like claw with scaly but still fleshy looking skin.
As soon as the hand had transformed the rest of his arm started to change as well. It grew thicker and the same scaly but fleshy texture grew on the arm. Kimissu was huffing with his head held down when the transformation stopped. Suddenly he rose and charged at Issit even faster than he was previously capable.
When he was next to Issit he punched with his right arm and the shield shattered instantly. Issit chanted in panic as another punch from Kimissu was approaching. When the punch connected it went through Issit like she had turned into a mist. Kimissu started to shout in rage as he continued to transform. It didn't take long for his torso and other hand to change.
At that time Naomi had managed to destroy the creatures completely by sending large amounts of chakra through them. She saw that Kimissu started to attack Issit with intent to kill so she decided to strike while Kimissu was still transforming.
Naomi swiped Kimissu's right arm causing him to scream out in pain and rage. She saw the wounds she caused already healing but couldn't take a good look at it as Kimissu swirled around and swung his left arm at Naomi's head. She dodged the strike that might have killed a normal human as when it hit the ground a crater formed.
Naomi noticed that Kimissu was constantly getting stronger and faster. 'I might have to start taking this seriously.' She thought as she dodged another strike from Kimissu. Suddenly chains made out of light rose from the ground and attached to Kimissu. Then the chains started to pull Kimissu down until he was lying on the ground and unable to move.
Issit looked very exhausted from creating the chains and surrendered. The announcer called Naomi winner and ordered few of the ex-participants to take Kimissu to an empty cell. "It seems that Kimissu won't be with us anymore." the announcer said with a somber tone. "We will continue the tournament tomorrow."
"Well, that was interesting." Naruto commented when he and Naomi were leaving the pit. "Yeah. Did see how much Kimissu got stronger after the mutation?" Naomi asked. "Yes. I was a little shocked by the amount of power he could use after the mutation." Naruto asked, clearly interested in knowing more about the subject.
When they were back inside the building they saw Issit sitting on a bench next to a wall and reading. Naomi wanted to know more about the spells she used during their match. "Hey Issit." Naomi greeted her. "Hello." She said back. "What are you reading?" Naomi asked curiously. "Just something about more complex chants." Issit answered. "Is there something you want to ask me?" she said. "We would like to know more about chants." Naruto answered. "Oh. Could you be more specific?"
"Well, we would like to know what the limits chants have are." Naomi said this time. "There hasn't been found any limit as anything that has been tried has either worked or sent the person trying into coma from using too much mental energy. The chants can create barriers as you saw me do, they can also create beings and items from the elements also they can be used for healing. I have heard that the strongest Chanters have even managed to resurrect people or create living creatures." Issit told them.
"What kinds of chants are you specialized in?" Naomi asked; curious to know. "I've specialized in creation. It includes creating those creatures, that I call minions, from any element and creating barriers." Issit answered; eager to talk with someone who was interested in her skills.
"How chants are made?" Naruto asked. His thoughts were on the thought of managing to recreate those effects with chakra. "Well, usually the stronger the chants the longer it is. But I've read that the masters can create almost impenetrable barriers with only a single word." Issit answered eagerly.
"Thanks that's all we need to know." Naomi said with a smile. Issit smile back and continued to read her book. As they walked back to their room they talked about how they could try and recreate the chants with chakra. Naruto suggested to try and isolate the different energies in chakra while Naomi wanted to see how the mental energy moved while using chants and then trying to recreate it with chakra.
"So what kind of abilities are you hiding from me?" Naomi asked when they had entered their room. "Well as I'm made of chakra I wanted to try if I could manipulate my chakra body. As you saw me shooting those waves it obviously works. I've also tried to create a way to change my body like changing my hand into a sword." Naruto answered and paused, allowing Naomi to process what was being told.
"Few of my experimental techniques are a ball made of chakra that get stuck to the target and starts to rapidly expand using the targets chakra, a technique that involves me pushing my chakra into another person and allowing me to control them, I've also tried to create beings out of my chakra but all of my experiments haven't had any success." Naruto finished looking at the slightly awestruck Naomi.
"That great but those sound like impossible to create." Naomi told him. "That's what I thought until the League showed up with these completely new abilities. If only I could find a way to use their abilities." Naruto sighed and moved to sit on the bed. "I'm sure you'll find a way." Naomi said and sat next to Naruto.
They stayed there until Naruto asked "What should we name our guild?" Naomi thought for a moment before saying "How about The Scarlet Heart?" Naruto was thinking about the name and said "I don't personally like that name." "Then how about The Bloody Seal?" Naomi proposed. "How about The Crimson Dragons?" Naruto proposed this time. "Well let's decide it later, okay?" Naomi said, finalizing the conversation.
Naruto and Naomi spent the rest of the day on their room having fun.
They woke up next morning from the same thing they were used to. The same boy with tray full of food knocking on their door. They took the food, thanked the boy and took the food. After the breakfast they went back to the pit.
All of the remaining contestants were already there. "Well, let's get this show on the road." Naruto said and started to stretch. His stretching was interrupted by an explosion coming from the front of the outpost. Everyone got ready for an attack. Suddenly a man wearing a suit of armor that covered him completely came and said "We are under attack from a huge group of bandits with a dozen people wielding this continents powers."
Naruto and Naomi took that as a sign to go and help the defense of the outpost. When they arrived they saw a battle going on with the well-equipped forces of the League and the bandits who outnumbered the League forces by at least 7-to-1. There also were missing-nins here and there wreaking havoc among the League forces but there also were some of the League elites dueling the missing-nins. The strongest missing-nins were only slightly stronger than the average League elites.
The battle wasn't going in the bandits favor as the League forces had much better equipment and training. Naruto and Naomi both jumped in the middle of the fight and cut through the bandit ranks like a knife through hot butter.
After they joined the defenders got their morale raised and started to fight even harder. By now the most of the missing-nins had been slain and the remaining three were in one group getting surrounded by the elites. The nins faces were looking grim. They looked at each other, did a few hand-seals and drew blood from their hands. Then they hit their blood soaked hands to the ground as League forces charged at them.
Before the League forces could reach them three huge clouds of smoke appeared, shocking everyone except Naruto and Naomi who had already finished their battles. Suddenly three large beings charged from the smoke. A huge elephant, a gigantic crocodile and a massive elk and the three nins on top of them.
The elephant was trampling everyone who was unfortunate to be in its path. None could stop its rampage as its hide was so thick that only the strongest could scratch it. The crocodile was feasting on the people that tried to stand their ground against the beast. All the spells that were used against it seemed to have no effect just like all physical attacks. The only beast that was suffering was the elk as its fur was on fire and there was blood on it.
Naruto looked at Naomi and asked "Which one do you want?" Naomi looked at the elephant and then at the crocodile. "I'll take the crocodile." She said and ran towards the crocodile. Naruto looked at the elephant and turned into a cocoon like the time in Konoha.
Naomi was fighting against the crocodile with her human form with little success. She could harm the crocodile but the damage was so small that it didn't even slow crocodile's rampage. 'This is getting nowhere.' She thought and jumped far back. By now almost all the League forces had evacuated the area. Naomi didn't need to transform into a cocoon to change into her Kyuubi-form, her body just started changing into more foxlike form and then starting to get bigger and bigger until she was larger than the building.
By now Naruto's cocoon had burst open revealing him in his dragon form. The elephant seemed to hesitate a while but then charged at Naruto. Naruto took flight, dodging the elephant's charge, He then flew down towards the elephant and tried to take a bite out of its back. The elephant managed to do a surprisingly agile move and dodged Naruto but it still got some scratches from the sharp scales.
When Naruto tried to get closer to the elephant for another attack, the elephant used his trunk to catch Naruto's leg. Naruto dodged the trunk and used his talons to slash it. The slash cut so deep that the trunk came almost completely off.
Naruto noticed that the elephant was trying to use chakra and he wasn't going to let it happen. He swoop down from the sky and managed to bite a piece off the elephant's back. The elephant fell down and just before hitting the ground it disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
The crocodile that Naomi was fighting was also losing the fight. Naomi moved too fast for it to bite her and it had many deep gashes on its body. Crocodile tried to mold chakra inside its mouth and water started to gather in its mouth. Naomi moved fast and slashed its face causing it to roar in pain and disappear in a cloud of smoke.
Naruto and Naomi changed back into their human forms and saw Tagir walking towards them. "I knew you weren't just some normal people but who would have thought that you could transform into giant beasts!" Tagir shouted eagerly and with a little bit of admiration within it. "I had some reservations about allowing you to create a guild but it seems that they were unnecessary." Tagir continued with a lowered voice.
"Can we now continue the talks about our guild?" Naruto asked. "Sure, Sure." Tagir said and ushered them into the slightly ruined building.
(A/N: Finally done with this chapter. I got some sad news that some of you might have known. I'm abandoning my both stories with heavy heart. I've lost my motivation in writing these fics and my imagination is full of different ideas for stories that I want to pursue. My next story might be another fanfiction or it could be my first original fiction that I would release in FictionPress. If anyone wants to continue this fic then you're welcome to take it and modify it as much as you please. My next story might start next month or next year so it's goodbye for now.)
