Nara Shikamaru was sighing. This was all a drag, too troublesome. Why did he have to go through this? And a girl, of all people?
"Ready to fight?" Tsuchi Kin said and got in a fighting pose. 'Hell no!' Shikamru wanted to say, but held back. "I can't say I am. I don't want to fight. Especially girls." Kin just snorted. "Nara Shikamaru vs. Tsuchi Kin. Begin." How was Shikamaru going to pull this off? He didn't like fighting alone. In the back he could hear his comrades cheering for him. So annoying. Suddenly Kin pulled out needles and shot it towards him. He dogded them easily. Suddenly more came towards his way. He dogded them again, but heard a strange sound. Was it bells? He looked after it. There were bells on two needles. He screamed. He checked the injury after the needle that got stuck in the arm. He smirked. "I see. You made some needles with bells, so I would pay attention to them, not on the needles without bells, right?" "You talk too much!" Kin said and kept throwing needles with bells. Maybe, Shikamaru thought, but atleast he didn't look a dalmatian who had rolled in the dirt in the middle. Suddenly his head was ringing. He held his head in pain. He looked behind himself. The bells! They rang! He looked towards and his eyes widened. He saw Kin holding threads which was connected to the bell. Suddenly he saw seven, eight, no, a dozen dobblegangers of Kin! A strange thought came to him, something he had never thought before. What if all those dobblegangers took their top off? That was disturbing. Kin took up three needles and was ready to fire. Now was his chance! He made the hand signs and went for it. Kin couldn't move. Shikamaru smirked and stood up. "Kage mane no jutsu; sucess." Kin was under his control. "How in the world?" she said and tried to get out of the jutsu. "My shadow tecnique can make me control other persons just combining the shadows. Now, what to do with you?"
"I swear, if you don't untie me, I'll scream!"
"What? That's -" Suddenly she screamed. She screamed louder than a police car. Shikamaru had to cover his ears to block the sound. Kin got free and ran to Shikamaru. She pierced him with so many needles he looked like an old hedgehog. He fell and bled a river. His comrades screamed in horror and tears. Kin just brushed herself off and went past Shikamaru. Suddenly she heard footsteps. She got stabbed. He fell on the ground, her back sorrounded of holes. Shikamaru smirked in triumph before he passed out.
Naruto POV:
Yeah! Finally my turn! I was going to show everyone what I got. I was facing Kiba. You know, the dog person. Man, he was annoying! Always screaming, being so full of himself and acting like he was the king of the world. Where did he get it from? For some weird reason, he reminded me of someone. Weird. He was letting his dog, Akamaru, down. What was going on? "Hey, that's unfair! Why is that puppy here? This is between you and me!" "You idiot! I'm not fighting without Akamaru!" The dog barked. This couldn't be right! I looked at the proctor. "Hey, proctor! Is this legal?" The proctor coughed. He really didn't look good." A dog is in the same line as tools like scrolls, weapons and equipment, so yes, this is legal." Hah. Wish someone could fight with me... I tried to man up. "Well, no biggie. You can use fifty dogs, and I would still win!"
"You sure sound confident! I bet this fight will hit you down a notch."
"Go, Naruto! You can do it!" Sakura screamed from the grandstand. It felt good that Sakura-chan was cheering for me. Sakura-chan (sigh) she was nice and still are. Some coughing from the proctor caught my attention. "The 7th match. Uzumaki Naruto vs. Inuzuka Kiba. Begin." the proctor,Gekkou Hayate, said. I ran forward and charged. Kiba also ran forward. We wrestled hard. Akamaru jumped on my back and scratched my back. Too bad for the pup it made me smile. His claws wasn't sharp enough. "Hey, what's with that smile on your face?" Kiba said, unsure. That only made me smile more."What can I say? I like a good backscratch. Hey, Akamaru? Try harder, will you?" Why shouldn't he? It felt good and the claws weren't very shap. I pounced and pinned Kiba to the ground. Suddenly Akamaru bit me in the neck! I growled and let go of Kiba to throw Akamaru away, but suddenly Kiba used that opp..opp..opportinity to kick me off! That was a hard kick! I was back on my feet. Akamaru went to his owner and jumped on Kiba. Kiba made the hand seals and said :"Gijū Ninpō: Jūjin Bunshin!" Akamaru 'poofed' and then a second Kiba appeared. He looked like Kiba going nuts! They both ran towards me like animals! "Jūjin Taijutsu Ōgi: Gatsūga !" Kiba called and suddenly they flew around the room like hurricanes! And they came at me! I began to run, but they caught up with me! It felt like I was hit everywhere and there was nowhere to turn! I couldn't see a thing! When I finally landed on the ground, it felt so hard just to get up! I made the handseals. "Kage bunshin no jutsu!" We charged forward and attacked with all we got, but it was no use! Kiba and Akamaru just split up and attacked like animals without mercy! I was lucky they didn't catch my throat! Suddenly I had an idea, I made some more shadow clones and attacked, and expected the next to happen: They destroyed my shadow clones. Then they came towards me. I tried to hold back my smirk. One of the Kiba's attacked me. I 'poofed' just like the others. I could hear they were surprised. "Where did he go? !" Kiba said. I opened my eyes and almost jumped of joy. I was a fleece on one of the Kiba's! I was hanging on on they grey jacket Kiba wore for the most of the time. They began to sniff. Then I realised something: It wouldn't matter which size I was in, as long they could smell me! "There he is!" I turned around and there was one of the Kiba's! He stretched out for me, but I dogded, and ran in the jacket. This Kiba simply wouldn't stand still! This one kept turning arond and I could swear human hands were trying to grab me! I became more stressed, and tried to get deeper in the clothes. I got so frustrated and suddenly I farted! Can you believe that! "AAAAAARGH!" Yes, in your face! I came out of the jacket, made even more shadow clones and beat them all out! Sucess!
NORMAL POV:
Naruto went proudly up to his friends while Hinata went down to the arena whre Kiba was taken away. "Kiba, I have some ointment for you. You can use it if you want." Hinata said, shy. "Thanks, Hinata, but I don't need it. You should take more care of your self. And before it's too late, don't fight-"
"Next up is Hyuga Hinata vs. Hyuga Neji!"
"Damn!"
